Chapter 896: First Prince!
“Your Highness, I rely all on you this ti. I’ve only heard about the new decree today, but I guarantee that the Imperial Guard will follow you with one heart, so…” hinted the Imperial Guard leader with an ingratiating look.
Sitting in front of him, the First Prince only smiled quietly. “Don’t worry, I will certainly help you if you are reasonable,” he gave an ambiguous answer and stood up, not looking the slightest bit worried.
From the mont the Imperial Guard commander sought the First Prince and started persuading, three hours had passed. Although he believed in the First Prince, he sohow still felt a sense of panic. Fortunately, the First Prince had finally expressed his stand. In the commander’s impression, there was nothing that the First Prince could not handle.
However, the First Prince’s calmness was not an act. Leaving his room, he chose the sedan to set out, which was slower than walking. The commander was impatient but dared not say a word. The only thing comforting was that the camp was within the palace and it didn’t take them long to arrive.
Yet, the Imperial Guard camp had completely changed from what he once knew hours ago. As soon as the sedan approached, a group of guards stopped them.
“Sedan chairs are prohibited within the scope of the Imperial Guard military camp. We would like to invite you to get down, Your Highness!” a loud voice bood, the tone neither servile nor overbearing.
The commander was dumbfounded, feeling like he had been slapped in the face. “Are you blind? Don’t you know ?! Get out of the way or you’ll be fired!”
However, the answer was sothing even more unexpected.
“My apologies, the current leader of the Imperial Guard is Commander Tian. You are no longer even an imperial guard,” said the gatekeeper coldly and fearlessly.
“I see you’re tired of living! Who dares to take my job?!”
The pitiful forr leader rushed up in rage. However, a group of soldiers jumped out and pressed him in place. “The punishnt for assaulting an imperial guard is execution!”
Seeing how the soldiers firmly controlled their forr boss, they were obviously prepared for this situation, which was indeed the case. They had been selected by Tian Hai and stationed at the entrance in advance. To be chosen, they had to et three conditions: had never colluded with Tian Hai before; had courage to act for real; and to be strong enough.
“Your Highness!!” Realizing his situation, the forr commander loudly resorted to his ‘backer.’
Upon his call, the First Prince slowly stepped down from his sedan chair and said lightly, “Since you attacked an imperial guard, I can’t save you. After all, this is not my jurisdiction.”
The forr commander froze in absolute bewildernt. “Your Highness! How can you say that?! I’m your man!! We agreed…”
“Accusing His Highness the First Prince of forming a secret party, your punishnt is death!”
The poor guy hadn’t finished his words when the attendants of the First Prince dashed over and punched his mouth, shutting him up in a bloody fashion. At the sa ti, the First Prince walked to the head of the gatekeepers.
“I am here to visit the new leader, please report this to him. If it is inconvenient, I will pay him a visit another day,” said the First Prince in a relaxed manner.
Hearing this, despair clouded the forr commander’s eyes.
“Not only is it convenient for Commander Tian, but also for as well. I wonder if Your Highness will give us the honor?” Bai Xiaofei’s voice suddenly rang out.
The First Prince looked over and saw a radiant Bai Xiaofei followed by a respectful Tian Hai. Bai Xiaofei’s appearance stunned him.
He had just heard that his father summoned a young man today - but he didn’t expect the person in question was this young - and even entrusted the Imperial Guard to him. The thought made him thank the forr commander. If it wasn’t for this pitiful guy, he might have missed this opportunity to et Bai Xiaofei before his brothers.
In any case, he must win over Bai Xiaofei!
“I am Ling Yue, it’s an honor to et you. May I know your na?” Ling Yue walked straight to Bai Xiaofei, his expression excited as if he wished to et Bai Xiaofei sooner.
“Bai Xiaofei. It’s my honor as well, Your Highness. You are indeed a dragon amongst n as your reputation claims,” Bai Xiaofei clearly implied sothing.
“There are things that can’t be avoided. Although I know what the Imperial Guard looked like before, they aren’t under my jurisdiction. Even talking too much about it would bring trouble upon . After all, all the people here were all appointed by my imperial father,” Ling Yue answered perfectly and neatly kicked the ball to the emperor.
“It seems that I still have a lot to learn. But Your Highness, how do you think he should be dealt with?” asked Bai Xiaofei as he turned to the forr commander, posing a difficult problem to the First Prince.
“Whether it’s attacking the Imperial Guard or slandering soone of a higher position, the punishnt is execution,” replied the First Prince nonchalantly.
The forr commander, who was pressed down on the ground, lost all hope.
“However, he didn’t know that he was dismissed, so his action was an unintentional regret. And I don’t care much about his offense toward . Therefore, he can be exempted from the death penalty. Just let him leave,” the First Prince continued.
The forr commander was filled with pleasant surprise.
“Since Your Highness has spoken, I will deal with this matter accordingly. However, I have so newly collected reports. How do you think I should deal with them?” Bai Xiaofei threw out another problem and quietly looked at the First Prince.
“How about let bygones be bygones? The previous managent was certainly undesirable, but it cannot just be blad on a single person, right? I believe that the future of the Imperial Guard will only flourish,” the First Prince gave a near-perfect answer again with a smile.
This communication gave Bai Xiaofei a rough judgnt of the First Prince. He was not suitable to be a friend, but as an emperor, he was an absolutely perfect candidate! All of his actions so far were textbook standard!
“Understood, I will conclude it according to your wishes. Do you have anything you would like to tell , Your Highness?” Bai Xiaofei revealed a profound smile.
“This is not a place to talk. Are you interested in coming to my place, little brother?”
