The other guards helped Mo Xuan Fei and Lin Xinyang to hide inside the room and hurriedly went out to a.s.sist their Master.Meanwhile Xiao Jun was standing head to head with the chief leader of the Imperial guards, he was a tall and burly man with beard, he looked so domineering and proud of himself when he talked to Xiao Jun with his baritone voice.
"Prince Xiao Jun, apologize for this sudden interruption." He nodded slightly and waved to the men behind him. "We are here to look for someone who had kidnapped imperial concubine Lin Xinyang from her courtyard."
It was a big lie that he had blurted out, Lin Xinyang had not lived in her courtyard for weeks. Xiao Jun was aware about that.
"They are not here." Xiao Jun said callously, didn"t feel a little bit intimidated by the chief leader of the imperial guards presence.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
"I am really sorry prince Xiao Jun, but we need to check that by ourselves." He said with determination. A derisive smile spread across his face as he signaled men behind him to go inside Xiao Jun"s courtyard.
However, Xiao Jun didn"t step aside and signaled to his guards to block their way, hence no one could stepped in even a foot inside.
"Prince Xiao Jun, don"t give yourself a hard time by refuse the Emperor"s order." The chief leader didn"t look very please with Xiao Jun way of conduct. He still thought highly of himself.
"If this is really the Emperor"s order, let me see the imperial edict. You need to bring it with you if you wish to check my residence." Xiao Jun replied coldly, he stood tall and didn"t waver under the pressuring aura that exuded from the chief leader.
His experiences of life and death were enough for him to stand his ground and a.s.sessing people better. He knew when he had to retreat or when he had to withdraw. Life taught him and his brother in hard way, so they could survive until this day.
"This is the Emperor"s order, if Prince Xiao Jun doesn"t believe it, you can come and ask to the Emperor himself." The chief leader gritted his teeth, starting to feel annoyed by Xiao Jun"s calmness.
"Bring me the edict and I will let you pa.s.s." Xiao Jun shot him a dagger look and added. "Or else, I will count this as you trying to trespa.s.s my territory."
"This is not your country prince Xiao Jun, if I could remind you." The chief leader"s voice was filled with contempt and resentment.
He was just a guest in their country, and also he had heard rumor about the conflict between the Emperor of Azura with the Xiao Jun.
Actuality, in the chief leader"s eyes, Xiao Jun was a prince without a real power, the same like Mo Xuan Fei. A prince by birth, but has nothing in them to make other people compelled.
"I am very aware this is not my country, if it is, you will be death in my guard"s hand under my order by now." Xiao Jun retorted coldly.
The chief leader"s eyes widened when he heard the bold words from Xiao Jun as he clenched his hand around the hilt of his sword, ready to rip the prince before his eyes to pieces.
"You should watch what you say, prince Xiao Jun, or you will end up miserably in the country that not even welcome your present." The Chief leader glared at Xiao Jun and signaled to his men to go inside, disregarding Xiao Jun, who was still standing there.
However, before they could step an inch, the guards behind Xiao Jun had drawn their sword and with simultaneous sound of the blade clashed with their scabbards, the momentum was quite shocking.
The men that were brought by the chief leader, stood on their spot, unable to move or forced their feet to come closer. They were frightened by the scene before their eyes where dozens of blades were pointing at their direction.
It was a scene that worth to behold.
After all, the guards that were brought by Xiao Jun were not ordinary guards, all of them had experiences the bitterness of war and had long grown with b.l.o.o.d.y battle.
Meanwhile, in the other hand, those guards were merely imperial guards who only had been training for years without having an experience of the actual combat, their body muscle and guts wasn"t form from the hard condition of the battlefield, but hard training in the peaceful environment.
Looking at his men withdraw themselves slowly, the chief leader felt embarra.s.sed and roared. "Prince Xiao Jun what you are doing now is violate the rule inside the Rockstone palace! You can"t let your men hold swords inside the palace!" His lips were quivering with anger the moment he reprimanded Xiao Jun.
"This is my courtyard, I can do whatever I want inside my territory." Xiao Jun replied calmly, crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes never left his opponent"s.
"This is not your territory! This land that you are standing right now is Rockstone"s land that belong to the Emperor Mo Qian Yuan! How dare you claim it as your own!?" He was so agitated with what Xiao Jun had said.
"It was your Emperor himself who had given me this courtyard as my residence and only my rule that applied here." Xiao Jun said it clear and loud.
After all it was true that it was Mo Qian Yuan himself who had given the courtyard to Xiao Jun when he didn"t want to stay inside the palace because of Mo Qin Yi"s rude behavior the first time he came.
"You!" The chief leader was at lost and didn"t know what to say, when someone was coming from behind him and asked about the commotion that was happening.
"What happen here?" Another cold and distance voice was sounded.
Xiao Jun didn"t need to look whose that voice belonged to when a look of resentment formed on his lips.
