These words were like a heavy bomb, and as soon as they rang out, the whole scene exploded completely.
“My goodness, no way, Grand Commander Cao is really here!”
“There’s really something to see now!”
There was a loud chatter from the crowd of onlookers.
Everyone was well aware of the status and tactics of Grand Commander Cao, and now that this Ninth Thousandth Year had beaten the other party’s son into such a state, the other party would probably find it hard to give up!
On the one hand, he was a powerful commander, and on the other hand, he was the Nine Thousandth Year of the Great Qian, who was above all others!
Either one of these two is not to be underestimated!
Now that these two powerful forces were facing each other, the crowd felt that this small Hengdian Street was about to be completely overwhelmed by the pressure!
At this moment, when Cao Jincheng heard the sound of his father’s arrival, a look of wild joy appeared on his face. If it wasn’t for the fact that his legs were ruined, he would have jumped up from the ground.
“My father is here! My father is here! Hahahahahaha …… What a bullsh*t Nine Thousand Years old, what the f*ck are you! See if my father doesn’t skin you alive!!! Hahahaha ……”
Cao Jincheng was so excited at this moment that he had already reached the point of complete complacency and forgetfulness.
It seemed to him that as long as his father could arrive, then even if the emperor was here, not to mention the Nine Thousand Years, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to him!
Only, before Cao Jincheng could get completely complacent.
“Pop!” There was a crunching sound.
Li Nan had actually raised his hand directly and unceremoniously gave him a resounding slap on the face.
“Noisy!”
Li Nan scolded in a cold voice.
Cao Jincheng was also shocked after receiving a slap.
He was also not expecting that his dad had come here, and the other party still dared to hit himself casually!
At the same time.
“Ta-da-da-da ……”
The war drum-like sound of horse hooves had already arrived at the front completely.
“Watch out!”
“Hurry up and get out of the way!”
Those war horses did not even show any signs of slowing down when they reached the front, scaring the people into shouting in alarm and rushing to the sides to avoid them.
Some of them even fell to the ground because they were in a hurry to dodge.
Seeing this scene, Li Nan’s face changed slightly, flushed with a chill.
At the same time, the crowd had already given way.
When the crowd saw the scene in front of them, they were all completely frozen.
In front of them were thousands of armour-clad cavalrymen.
They were riding on top of those tall and majestic war horses, and along with the sound of those war horses’ stepping hooves and the foggy snort coming out of the war horses’ mouths, a powerful aura then overlapped towards the surrounding crowd without reservation.
“Hiss ……”
The surrounding crowd could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
They could clearly feel the oppressive force brought by these cavalrymen.
They didn’t even doubt that as soon as the Commander Cao gave the order, these cavalrymen would draw their swords without any hesitation and cut them all down!
The most powerful part of the cavalry was at the front of the group.
There, two dozen red-tipped military leaders were guarding a stout figure.
Unlike the ordinary cavalrymen around him, the warhorse under this figure was red in colour, so red that it seemed to be dripping blood from its body.
This warhorse was the legendary sweat-blooded horse, which could travel 8,000 miles in a day!
In the whole of the Great Qian Empire, there was only one pure-blooded horse of this kind.
Therefore, the moment the crowd saw this sweat-blooded horse, they immediately knew the identity of the figure in front of them.
That’s right, this figure was none other than the Grand Commander of the Imperial Capital, Cao Yuanbai!
At this moment, after arriving, Cao Yuanbai did not dismount directly, but rode on top of the tall horse, looking down at the crowd below, and his gaze towards Li Nan was even more outlandish!
The people around him murmured, all feeling very uncomfortable.
When Jin Feng saw this scene, he had to remind them, “Commander Cao, the Nine Thousandth Year has the grace of His Majesty and his rank is higher than that of a king or a marquis. According to the laws of the Great Qian, you should salute when you see him ……”
Although he was reminding, Jin Feng’s voice was extremely soft at the moment, obviously a little lacking in breath.
At this moment, Cao Yuanbai on his horse gave a cold snort and said with a smile, “I am not in a position to salute as I am wearing heavy armour, so I hope that the Ninth Millennium will be more tolerant.”
Cao Yuanbai said this in a very casual manner, obviously not taking this moment too seriously.
When Jin Feng heard this, he frowned slightly, not knowing for a moment how to round up the situation.
At that moment, the man in the chair, Li Nan, spoke slowly.
“I’m afraid you are the only one who dares to lead a large army in the streets of the imperial capital, wearing armour and a horse! The great commander is really very powerful!”
Li Nan looked at Cao Yuanbai and said with a smile on his face.
Cao Yuanbai smiled smugly and said, “I have received the decree from the Ninth Millennium, and I am in a hurry to see the Ninth Millennium, that’s why I am so rude, please bear with me!”
Cao Yuanbai spoke in a relaxed manner and appeared to be very casual.
When those people around him saw Cao Yuanbai’s attitude, they all frowned.
In terms of status, the Ninth Thousandth Year was naturally much higher than a Grand Commander.
But now, Cao Yuanbai was speaking to this Ninth Thousand Year without any respect, and even disregarding the most minimal courtesy, which made the crowd feel very excessive.
And just at that moment.
“Father! Father help me!!!”
As soon as he saw Cao Yuanbai arrive, Cao Jincheng immediately looked like he had seen the straw that saved his life, and his whole body was suddenly surprised and shed tears.
“Cheng’er!”
When Cao Yuanbai saw the miserable state of Cao Jincheng in front of him, his heart immediately rose with a great anger.
Cao Jincheng’s entire cheek had been swollen, and even his knees had been shattered and blood was flowing everywhere.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Cao Yuanbai wouldn’t have believed that his son would end up in such a miserable state on his own turf here in the imperial capital!
At this moment, Cao Yuanbai’s heart was so furious that he could not wait to kill someone on the spot.
“Nine Thousand Years, dare I ask what crime my son has committed that he has been punished so severely!”
Cao Yuanbai said viciously, forcing down the anger in his heart.
As he spoke, a murderous intent spread out in all directions, making it difficult for the surrounding people to breathe.
Only Li Nan’s face remained cloudy and light-hearted.
“Not only did Prince Cao ignore the law and fly in the forbidden area of the imperial capital, but he also slandered the innocent and wanted to frame me as the remaining party of the Marquis of Zhen Nan, wanting to put me to death! He even deceived the emperor and disregarded his superiors, saying that this imperial capital is under your Cao family’s rule and that even His Majesty’s words are no match for your Cao family! Dare I ask you, Grand Commander, what do you think should be the crime for all these crimes combined?!”
Li Nan looked at Cao Yuanbai, who was on his horse, and asked in a cold voice.
Hearing these words, Cao Yuanbai’s face sank slightly, but he appeared to be in no hurry.
“What the Ninth Seneschal has said is a serious crime that is unforgivable.
Cao Yuanbai said, word by word, looking very righteous and awe-inspiring.
“However, I have always been very strict with my son, Jin Cheng, and I have taught him since he was young to always be grateful for the grace of the late Emperor and His Majesty and not to overstep his bounds. Knowing my son, I do not believe he would do such a thing! However, if he were to turn his back on His Majesty’s grace and do something so treacherous, I would not be biased! I will clean up the Cao family without the need for the Ninth Millennium to do so!”
With these few simple words, Cao Yuanbai attempted to make Cao Jincheng a loyal and righteous man who was devoted to the Emperor.
Afterwards, Cao Yuanbai did not forget to look at Cao Jincheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice, “Cheng’er, tell us the truth, did you or did you not do what Nine Thousand Years had just said?
Hearing these words, Cao Jincheng hurriedly shook his head.
“Father, my son is wronged! I have never done what Ninth Childe said!”
Cao Jincheng cried out, looking extremely aggrieved.
What a joke, Cao Yuanbai had just made it very clear that if Cao Jincheng had really done those things, he would have to clean up the Cao family himself, the implication of which was already very clear.
If Cao Jincheng still did not know what to do under such circumstances, then he should not live!
When the surrounding crowd heard Cao Jincheng’s words, they all burst into an uproar.
They were not stupid, and naturally they had all seen what Cao Yuanbai had just implied, as well as Cao Jincheng’s trickery.
But even so, there was nothing they could do.
When Cao Yuanbai heard his son’s reply, a smug sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, however, his face turned cold and he said in a low voice, “If that’s the case, then why did the Ninth Millennium say that you had done those things?”
Hearing this, Cao Jincheng hurriedly kowtowed and shouted, “Father, I have always acted with strict discipline and have never done anything disobedient! As for why the Ninth Millennium treated me like this, I guess it was probably because I had just accidentally offended this Miss Liu from the secular world, and the Ninth Millennium happened to be good friends with this Miss Liu, so that’s why ……”
Cao Jincheng, with these three words, was actually trying to backtrack and throw all this dirty water on Li Nan.
Even Jin Feng at the side could not help but frown after hearing this.
Not waiting for Cao Jincheng to finish.
“How dare you!”
An angry shout rang out, but it came from Cao Yuanbai’s mouth.
One could only see that at this moment, Cao Yuanbai’s face was fierce and his eyes were sinister as he looked at Cao Jincheng.
“Do you mean to say that the Nine Thousandth Year has falsely accused you for his own selfish interests! The Ninth Seneschal is an important minister appointed by His Majesty, how could he possibly do such a nasty and shameless thing!”
Cao Yuanbai scolded angrily, righteously.
