A threat, a blatant threat.
If Xu Changqing had not found Duan Hu as his backer, he would not even have been able to enter the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Although the door was now open.
However, he was in a dilemma.
After all, he was no longer in the border army. There were too many taboos in Shangjing.
It was true that he had Duan Hu backing him up now, but he was mainly afraid of causing trouble for Duan Hu.
There were too many high officials and dignitaries here.
If he offended someone and implicated Duan Hu, then he would…
Therefore, when he thought of this, Xu Changqing hesitated.
Before he could make a decision, a room on the second floor opened.
An angry man walked out from inside.
The man looked to be in his forties. He had a full beard on his face and looked fierce.
"What are you making so much noise for?”After the man walked out of the pavilion, he cursed loudly.
Blood Peony leaned against the handrail of the stairs and covered her red lips with a feather fan. She smiled slightly and said,"Thousand Housekeeper Zhao, you came at the right time. There's an official here who said he wants to go upstairs to handle a case. I wonder if he's looking for you?”
Blood Peony said with a smile.
Thousand Housekeeper Zhao looked down and saw Xu Changqing.
Then, he frowned.
"Xu Changqing, what are you doing? Why are you here? Don't you know what this place is?”
"I think you've had enough of being a centurion. Now, get out of here immediately and return to the Guardian Office to wait for your punishment. I've had enough of you in the capital!”
Thousand Housekeeper Zhao cursed.
Xu Changqing's face turned green and red.
"Lord Zhao, I…"
"What about me? Hurry up and get lost!”
Before Xu Changqing could finish his sentence, Thousand Housekeeper Zhao pointed at him and cursed.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were too far away, Thousand Housekeeper Zhao's spit would have drowned Xu Changqing.
"Kacha."
A crisp sound interrupted the quarrel in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Immediately after, a series of thuds sounded.
The turtle who was jumping around outside the door with his chin facing Xu Changqing turned his head around and saw his heels.
Duan Hu led Xiao Gui, Zhao Podi, and the others into the Drunken Immortal Restaurant with his hands behind his back.
The poor turtle didn't even manage to finish his sentence before he died.
All of a sudden, everyone in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant turned their gazes to Duan Hu, who had just walked through the door.
He was wearing a black robe with a python on it, and there was a jade pendant tied to his waist.
Although he didn't bring a knife, Xiao Gui, Zhao Podi and the others behind him were all holding knives and wearing military uniforms.
The thousand-man surnamed Zhao was about to point at Duan Hu and curse him, but before his voice could leave the room, he shut his mouth and widened his eyes.
Blood Peony had been operating in Shangjing for so many years. She was not someone without foresight.
After seeing Duan Hushan's black python robe, he understood everything.
He simply shut his mouth.
"My lord." Xu Changqing walked up to Duan Hu with an ashamed expression.
"Get down."
Duan Hu said calmly.
"Yes."
Xu Changqing stood behind Duan Hu.
"Zhao Podi." Duan Hu called out.
Zhao Podi took a step forward.
"Close the door. Everyone, stand where you are and don't move. If anyone disobeys, kill them without mercy. There are rebels from the imperial court in this building. Those who don't respect orders are accomplices!”
Zhao Podi took a step forward and shouted at the guests in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
One of them, a young man in his twenties, probably drunk, stood up shakily.
"Rebel party? Who are you calling a traitor? My father is a fifth-grade Tongzhi."
"Puchi!"
Before that person could finish his sentence, Zhao Podi had already pulled out his saber and slashed down.
Then, the young man lay in a pool of blood.
Zhao Podi held the bloody saber in one hand and looked around: "Anyone else who wants to speak, please come forward.”
There was complete silence.
The entire Drunken Immortal Restaurant instantly became silent. No one dared to make a sound.
Blood Peony, who was standing on the stairs of the second floor, also put down the feather fan in her hand and looked at Duan Hu, who was standing there with a calm expression.
There was a new dignitary in the imperial court who had entered the capital yesterday and was conferred the title of Lord Zhongyong on the same day.
On the same night, he took over the position of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
This person was called Duan Hu, from the Liaodong border army's Zhenyuan Fort.
Blood Peony glanced at the soldiers in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant who were dressed in the uniforms of the border army. What else did she not understand?
It was rumored that after this Demon God entered the city, he killed two servants in King Fu's mansion at the city gate.
It was because they were fighting for the path.
And that night in Anhua Temple, the newbie killed more than 50 rebels.
Blood Peony's beautiful eyes moved, and she immediately confirmed Duan Hu's identity.
"Your Excellency, this humble servant is doing small business here. If you want to investigate a case, this humble servant will naturally cooperate.”
The Blood Peony hurriedly walked down the stairs.
Just as he was about to approach Duan Hu, Xiao Gui, who was behind Duan Hu, stepped forward and pulled out his saber to stop the blood peony.
"Take another step forward and die." Xiao Gui shouted in a low voice.
Blood Peony was shocked.
Duan Hu waved his hand, and Xiao Gui stepped aside.
After an awkward smile, Blood Peony came in front of Duan Hu.
"I failed to recognize Mount Tai just now. Please forgive me, Uncle Zhong Yong. If you want to investigate the case, I will definitely cooperate!”
Blood Peony said pitifully.
"Pa!"
As soon as Blood Peony finished speaking, Duan Hu slapped Blood Peony's face.
How could the usually delicate Blood Peony withstand Duan Hu's slap? She directly fell to the ground!
