"How long until the Young Emperor arrives?"
the commander asked.
He couldn't offend him, after all, after the current Human Emperor grew old, it was the Young Emperor who made the final decision. Although he was upright, he had to consider a retreat.
"About a quarter of an hour?"
The soldier said hurriedly.
"I see."
The commander nodded and felt the urgency of time.
Now that things have happened, even if they have no purpose, they still have to show off and deal with the people above.
He was only a small commander, and he could not afford to offend the young emperor, nor could he afford to offend those high-ranking officials.
All I can say is that it is too difficult... This is the tragedy of little people.
In another room.
Compared to Su Mu's dark room, this place was bright and bright, like an elegant room. There was a huge difference!
If Su Mu finds out, he will definitely get angry and take action. This is too much of a double standard, it is simply too much!
"Mr. Cardinal, I only ask you one question. If you answer it, I will let you go."
"I would also like to ask you to cooperate with me..."
The leadership posture is very low.
Cardinal Chen is the young emperor's teacher. He has been with him since he was a child and has deep feelings for him, so he does not dare to offend him.
"You don't have to be like this, Commander Hu. You have made great contributions to the court. I am just a commoner, so I should do my best to cooperate."
Cardinal Chen had a kind smile on his face.
When the commander saw this, he was not relieved, but became even more vigilant.
All of them are old foxes, they look one way on the outside but another on the other side. Even if they are smiling now, they will die in his hands one day without knowing what is going on.
"Haha, Mr. Cardinal is joking."
Commander Hu's posture was still very low. He did not hesitate for too long and asked quickly: "Why did you take action in the teahouse?"
"The old man behind the young man unconsciously released his own power. Naturally, I took action to resist, or maybe it was mistaken as a provocation, which led to the confrontation."
"But we didn't use all our strength, otherwise not only this teahouse would have been bulldozed."
Cardinal Chen said slowly.
He also defended Su Mu and others by the way, but he didn't know what he had in mind.
"That's it...Mr. Cardinal, you can leave."
When the commander heard the words, he made a note of what he just said. If the superiors asked, he could fool them.
"Thank you so much, Commander Hu!"
Cardinal Chen bowed.
Commander Hu dared not accept it and hurriedly returned the gift.
However, Cardinal Chen has not left yet, as if he is waiting for something.
"Mr. Cardinal, are you waiting for the Young Emperor?"
Hu Tong was a little worried.
Are you trying to cause trouble for him?
Could it be that he has been offended?
"Where is that young man?"
Cardinal Chen asked with a smile, indicating that he did not need to be so nervous.
"Since he made the first move, it's natural to ask more questions."
Commander Hu replied.
"I don't think it's necessary. It's just a little friction between us. I'll pay the teahouse owner ten times the loss. What do you think?"
Cardinal Chen's smile faded a little.
Commander Hu sounded the alarm, "It's best to do this naturally. This incident is not even an ordinary fight, so let's just close the case."
"But...Mr. Cardinal, these are troubled times, so please be careful."
He finally couldn't help but said.
Don't cause any more trouble for him!
"Haha, I understand. Commander Hu, don't worry."
Cardinal Chen nodded.
"Then I will release that young man."
Commander Hu felt helpless. He was a small commander and he really had no authority. He could deal with ordinary people, but in the imperial capital, if he just arrested anyone, he would be implicated in a wide range of things, so it was difficult to do anything.
"This person is destined to the Young Emperor, so don't offend him."
Seeing how sensible he was, Cardinal Chen naturally did not forget to give him a few words of advice.
He was born in Tianji Pavilion and could understand a corner of the future. He could naturally observe Su Mu's heavy fortune.
Although most of it was covered by some kind of power, some was still leaked out, but just the little that was revealed was enough to scare him!
This person is someone the Young Emperor must make friends with.
Even if we cannot be friends, we must not become enemies.
"what did you say?"
Hu Tong was in the lead and was stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed a look of shock.
He believed Cardinal Chen's words. After all, everyone who knew him knew that this guy came from Tianji Pavilion, had no plans left, and could even see a corner of the future.
"I'm going to ask him to come out now!"
Before Cardinal Chen could say anything more, Commander Hu hurriedly took action.
In a dark room.
Su Mu closed his eyes and rested, while Old White Tiger was always vigilant. If someone was really bad for them, even under the feet of the Human Emperor, they would still have to break in and make a big fuss.
Not long.
Commander Hu came in a hurry, without the fierce momentum before, but with a certain amount of awe.
"The matter has been investigated clearly... It has delayed fellow Taoist's time. I hope you can bear with me a little more. After all, the Holy Land Competition is coming soon. We are also following orders to maintain public order, right?"
"I also hope that my two fellow Taoists, Haihan, will help me."
After that, he bowed.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the matter is investigated clearly, can we leave now?"
Su Mu looked calm.
He was a troublesome person, so naturally he could do anything less, and besides... they were the ones who made the first move, and even destroyed the teahouse, leaving no room for them.
"please!"
Commander Hu made a gesture and indicated.
Su Mu and Lao Baihu both nodded and left the dilapidated house.
Cardinal Chen had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Su Mu, he also smiled.
"Little friend Su Mu, I have a heartfelt request... Can you come with me to the Young Emperor's house to get together?"
he invited.
When Su Mu heard this, he was not surprised that he could call his name, but frowned... Although this guy's attitude is very good now, he always feels that something is not quite right.
Thinking that this person was from Tianji Pavilion, he planned to refuse.
Who among the people who can come out of Tianji Pavilion is not an old fox? I don’t even know how I was tricked!
"Senior... I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it another day."
Su Mu refused.
Cardinal Chen was unmoved, with a smile still on his face, "Little friend Su Mu, are you afraid of me?"
He wanted to use this to inspire his generals.
However, Su Mu didn't take this trick and showed a sneer, "If that's what you think, then so be it."
What's wrong with taking advantage of him? He is very confident in his own strength. Even if he is not afraid of facing the Young Emperor, how can he be afraid of him?
With his current strength, he can easily win against him.
"My lord said that when you are tired, you are tired. Don't bother too much!"
Old White Tiger said very rudely.
For some reason, he just didn't like the storyteller in front of him, and he didn't know if it was because of the previous feud.
