Prince’s Multifaceted Wife - C235
“You!” Chen Jiaxuan’s face immediately turned ashen. He had not expected Zhining to think that they were just acting.
“How is it? “Constable Chen.” Nanhai stood behind Chen Jia Wei and looked at him nervously.
The Chen family guard turned towards Nanhai and shook his head slightly, “She still won’t let Miss Liang examine the old general’s corpse.”
Nanhai sighed deeply. He had not expected Chen Zhi to be so determined. He had gone through so much trouble to knock out the guards to see if Chen Zhi had agreed to let Miss Liang examine the old general’s corpse. In the end, Chen Zhi had still refused.
Southern Sea helplessly turned back towards the general’s manor. The only thing he could do now was to once again check the crime scene and see if he could find any valuable clues.
“Lord?” The Chen family’s Wei Wei Wei frowned worriedly as he watched the leaving figure of the Southern Sea. He knew that once the Southern Sea left the Southern Mansion, it was extremely likely that it would be caught.
He believed that the emperor would become even angrier if he found out about this. He also knew that it wouldn’t be long before he would be captured by the palace guards and locked in the prison, but even if he had a little time, he would still want to reverse the case for the old general.
Zhining angrily ran to the pavilion and took a few deep breaths, in order to calm her uneasy heart. After her heart had completely calmed down, she wiped it away and left for the general’s estate. She had said that she would do her best to reverse the case for the old general, and she would definitely do so.
When Zhining had just arrived at the general’s manor, she saw dozens of palace guards encircling Southern Sea from afar. Each of them held their own weapons as they coldly looked at Southern Sea.
“Master Nan, if you don’t surrender now, don’t blame us for being rude!” One of the guard leaders coldly said to Nanhai.
Southern Ocean coldly swept his eyes over every guard surrounding him. Escaping the encirclement of these people with his martial arts was absolutely not a problem, but so what if he escaped a calamity? Tomorrow, the Emperor will send more guards to capture him. By then, he will have nowhere to run! However, even though he had nowhere to run, he was still a degenerate. He wanted to buy time to reverse the case against the old general, even if it took a little time for him to do so.
He clenched his fists tightly as his pretty eyes swept across every guard surrounding him. “Do your best.”
“Humph, you refused a toast and refused a forfeit!” He slowly raised his arm and looked coldly at the Southern Ocean. As soon as he let his arm down, all the guards would attack the Southern Ocean together. When the time came, swords and blades would have no eyes, so the one who would be injured would definitely be the Southern Ocean. He used his fierce eyes to silently warn Southern Ocean, if you don’t surrender now, you’ll be injured!
Southern Ocean fearlessly looked back at the head guard. He also replied with a look in his eyes. Just come at me and I won’t be afraid!
The head guard glared at Southern Sea angrily, then he slowly put his hand down, “Go!”
After the guards received the order, they all took a few steps forward with weapons in their hands and attacked the Southern Ocean. When their weapons had reached a place not far away from Nanhai’s body, a fierce shout stopped them.
“Wait.”
All the guards, including the leader of the guards, looked towards the source of the voice. It was coming from the main entrance of the General’s Estate. He saw Gu Ziming, dressed in a white mourning dress, standing in front of the general’s manor with a cold expression on his face. “My father has not yet buried himself in peace. I hope that everyone will not have to settle down in this life.”
The guards looked at each other, then looked at the leader of the guards. They could not make the decision for this.
The head guard walked in front of Gu Ziming with a few steps, clasped his hands, and said, “Young General, I am under the orders of the Emperor to capture Nanhai. I hope that Young General does not obstruct us, otherwise, we will all be treated as traitors of the country.”
Gu Ziming’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. A mere head guard dared to threaten him? He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the leader of the guards with an ice-cold expression. “With this general here, I would like to see who dares to behave so atrociously in front of the general’s manor!”
“Don’t forget, Young General, you’re not a young general anymore, and you don’t have any military power. Even the general’s estate will soon no longer belong to you, and I dare you to ask Young General, how are you going to stop me from taking away Nanhai, the traitor who sold the country?” And what ability does it have to stop me from taking away the Southern Ocean! ”
Right now, he didn’t have any military power, nor did he have any martial arts skills. Even if he and Nanhai could withstand the attack of the guards today, then what about tomorrow? What about the next day?
“Although this general no longer has the military power, I will absolutely not allow you people to act so arrogantly in front of the general’s manor and spare my father’s life!” He wanted his father to leave the general’s manor peacefully, and he definitely wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb his father. It was the last thing he could do for his father.
The head guard waved his hand and ordered the guards, “Capture Southern Sea and Gu Ziming together. They are all traitors of the nation!”
“Let’s see who dares to touch even a hair on the young general’s head!” A middle-aged man in armor walked out from behind Gu Ziming, and looked coldly at the leader of the guards. From behind him, more than a hundred soldiers rushed out of the manor and surrounded the guards surrounding the Southern Ocean.
The head guard narrowed his eyes as his entire body began to emit a dangerous aura. He coldly looked back at the great general. “General, I have come on the orders of the emperor to capture the criminal who betrayed the country, Southern Ocean.”
“I don’t care who you want to capture. In short, I won’t allow anyone to cause trouble in front of the General’s mansion, and I won’t allow anyone to slander the Young General as a traitor to the enemy!” The meaning behind his words was to not allow anyone to touch a single hair on Gu Ziming’s head.
The leader of the guards looked at the general coldly. “General, you mean that if I forcefully bring the Southern Ocean out of here, you will also interfere in this matter?”
“As long as they don’t make a move at the gates of the general’s manor, this general won’t bother with them. However, if they disturb the old general’s peace and quiet, this general won’t stand idly by the side and watch either!”
The head guard was obviously startled. He coldly looked at the Great General Yuan.
The Great General of Zhen Yuan looked back at the leader of the guards without showing any signs of weakness. At the same time, the soldiers under the general’s command and the guards in the palace were also making loud noises. They were all armed, and if either side dared to move, then the two sides would start to fight.
Southern Ocean stared blankly. This Zhenyuan general who was as famous as the old general was the younger brother of His Majesty. He held military power and held a lofty position in the Qi Kingdom. If he personally took part in this matter and prevented the guards from taking him and Gu Ziming away, then even if Gu Ziming didn’t have any thoughts of rebelling, he would still be considered as someone who had thoughts of rebelling. After all, General Zhenyuan had come to mourn for the old general. If General Zhenyuan had an argument with the guard leader at this time, then Gu Ziming would be responsible for all the crimes.
At the moment, there was only one solution to the current stalemate, and that was for him to leave with the guards. Calm down this storm of evil.
He looked deeply at Gu Ziming, hoping that he would be able to reverse the case for the old general. He then walked to the leader of the guards. “I will follow you out of here.”
