Chen Luomeng seemed to control the entire situation, looking at He Yan with a cold smile.
"He Yan, you really have some nerve!"
"Killing a Vice Prefect of a region as you please."
"Who exactly gave you this authority!"
"Or is it that Lu Xuan instructed you to do so?"
Chen Luomeng's accusatory manner made He Yan feel uneasy.
As he had guessed.
The people from the An Prince's Mansion traveled all the way from Qingling Prefecture to Baidao Prefecture just to find trouble with him.
He Yan naturally wouldn't agree with Chen Luomeng's words.
These words were clearly intended to pin the crime of arbitrarily killing court officials on him.
"Miss Luomeng, you may have misunderstood."
"This official also handled the death of Luo Jinhe, the Vice Prefect of Baidao Prefecture, in accordance with the laws of the imperial court."
"According to the laws of the imperial court, the murderers who harmed the Xuan Bird Guard can be executed first and reported later, and executed on the spot!"
Seeing that He Yan was tight-lipped and so cautious, Chen Luomeng lost interest.
"Hmph, old fox with a sharp tongue."
He Yan naturally ignored Chen Luomeng's impolite remarks.
He Yan had lived for most of his life and had seen all kinds of situations.
Chen Luomeng's provocative words were long ineffective against him.
Seeing that He Yan was unmoved, a trace of anger appeared on Chen Luomeng's beautiful face!
This old fellow was really cunning, and she couldn't do anything about him.
This made Chen Luomeng's plan to make things difficult for He Yan using Luo Jinhe's matter fail.
Then, Chen Luomeng changed the subject and stated the purpose of her visit.
"Where is your Xuan Envoy, Lu Xuan?"
"Our Prince wants to see him!"
"Tell him to quickly come with us to see the Prince!"
The An Prince wants to see Lu Xuan?
He Yan was a little dazed after hearing this news, as if thinking about the An Prince's intention in seeing Lu Xuan.
Could it be that the An Prince guessed that Luo Jin's death was related to Lu Xuan?
But these were not issues that He Yan should consider.
Now, the problem facing He Yan was that he didn't know where Lu Xuan was.
If I knew where the Xuan Envoy was, it wouldn't be up to you people to order me around.
However, it wasn't a good idea for these people to stay in the Xuan Bird Guard all the time.
While answering Chen Luomeng, He Yan also reminded them.
"Miss Luomeng, this official doesn't know either."
"Why don't you all go back first and wait for the Xuan Envoy to return."
"This official will convey the An Prince's meaning to the Xuan Envoy on your behalf."
"The Xuan Bird Guard is an important place, and I believe you, as people from the An Prince's Mansion, naturally understand this principle."
"This official won't keep you all any longer."
How could Chen Luomeng and the others not understand He Yan's blatant intention to see them off?
However, before Chen Luomeng could flare up, the old man who had been silent beside her finally opened his eyes, staring at He Yan and said.
"Hmph, a mere Vice Envoy, you have quite the tone."
"Even the Earth-Rank Vice Envoys in your Xuan Bird Guard wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"
As the old man spoke, a cold light shot out from his eyes, heading towards He Yan.
Seeing this, He Yan circulated the internal energy in his whole body at an extremely fast speed, and his two palms collided with the cold light.
Poof!
A muffled sound came, and He Yan, who was at the early stage of the Internal Energy Realm, was sent flying out of the door like a cannonball.
"Vice Envoy, are you alright!"
The Xuan Bird Guards guarding the door saw He Yan being knocked out and their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly stepped forward to help He Yan up.
At the same time, in less than a few breaths, more than a dozen men wearing azure Xuan Bird uniforms quickly arrived beside He Yan.
"Master!"
One of them was He Yan's disciple, Su An, who had already broken through to the Blood Refining Realm two days ago.
"Bastards, how dare you attack my master, I..."
Just as Su An was about to rush into the hall, He Yan grabbed Su An's shoulder and quickly suppressed Su An's boiling blood.
"Xiao An, don't be impulsive."
Good heavens, Su An's actions almost scared He Yan to death.
You must know that the old fellow inside was a Martial Dao Grandmaster.
If Su An, with his small body, went in and offended the old fellow, that would be terrible.
The old fellow showed mercy just now because he was the Vice Envoy of the Xuan Bird Guard, so He Yan was not in any serious trouble.
However, Su An was different, He Yan couldn't guarantee that the old fellow wouldn't kill Su An.
At this moment, Chen Luomeng and the others walked out of the hall, still with a contemptuous look.
It was as if the dozen or so Xuan Bird Guards in front of them were like chickens and dogs in their eyes, completely unworthy of their attention.
Chen Luomeng frowned slightly, glanced around, and then turned to look at Lin Yu beside her.
"It seems that Lu Xuan is really not here, Old Lin, what should we do?"
Lin Yu's attack just now was not just a simple lesson for He Yan.
Lin Yu wanted to see if Lu Xuan was hiding somewhere, afraid to show himself to them.
Therefore, Lin Yu thought about attacking He Yan to see if he could force Lu Xuan out.
But now it seems that Lu Xuan is probably really not here.
If this happened to anyone else, they would come out immediately.
"The Prince ordered us to bring Lu Xuan back."
"If Lu Xuan is unwilling to come back with us, then don't blame me."
"We will wait here for Lu Xuan to appear."
"I don't believe that Lu Xuan will never show himself."
Chen Luomeng had no objection to Lin Yu's idea.
Because this idea was the same as what she thought.
She didn't believe that Lu Xuan could be a coward for the rest of his life.
"Well, then let's do as Old Lin says!"
"You guys, go find a few rooms and clean them up properly."
Chen Luomeng naturally commanded the guards behind her, as if treating this place as her own mansion.
The ignored Xuan Bird Guards felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness.
However, they were not as reckless as Su An and did not attack Chen Luomeng and the others.
Because He Yan, the Vice Envoy who was an Internal Energy Realm martial artist, was no match for these people.
Not to mention them, who were Blood Refining Realm martial artists, they would probably be slapped away by the terrifying old man opposite them before they could even attack.
At this moment, in the distance of the Xuan Bird Guard's residence, a rapid and powerful sound of horse hooves came from far to near, breaking the quiet atmosphere like thunder.
The figure rode a fast horse, passing through the void like wind, heading towards the Xuan Bird Guard's residence.
Until the fast horse approached the Xuan Bird Guard's residence, the rope was pulled by the person on horseback.
In this way, the horse stopped steadily and stood quietly in front of the gate of the Xuan Bird Guard's residence.
The person on horseback was Lu Xuan, who had rushed back from Jingtai Prefecture.
