Chapter 513

Naturally, he possesses the capital to be overbearing.

Moreover, this fellow is sinister and cunning in his conduct.

He is a man of great ambition; he grows more resolute with age, never giving up on anything until the very end, and possesses a firm will.

For the sake of victory, he can be considered unscrupulous.

Because he inadvertently overheard, back when Emperor Yongshun was still supervising the state before ascending the throne.

His son, Prince Qi Li Jingyu, proposed to the Retired Emperor and Emperor Yongshun that the Xuanjing Bureau be disbanded, which made Xia Jiang wary of Prince Qi Li Jingyu, leading him to join forces with Marquis Ningguo Xie Yu to frame Prince Qi Li Jingyu and the Red Flame Army.

He is the mastermind behind the destruction of Emperor Yongshun's most outstanding son, Prince Qi Li Jingyu, and the Red Flame Army all those years ago!

Therefore.

Jia Hui remains vigilant against this person.

"Ling Buyi, have your men lay down their weapons immediately."

At this moment, Xia Jiang stared at Ling Buyi and said!

The men of the Yulin Guard's Left Cavalry Battalion were immediately thrown into panic, at a complete loss for what to do.

However, Ling Buyi's expression remained calm: "Is there an imperial decree?"

Xia Jiang's eldest disciple, Xia Chun, who is also Xia Dong's own brother, said coldly: "Our Xuanjing Bureau acts with the authority to execute first and report later; we do not need an imperial decree to carry out our duties."

Ling Buyi was not alarmed, his face stern: "I am acting under His Majesty's decree to guard this place; without an imperial decree, I am afraid I cannot comply."

This made the faces of the Xuanjing Bureau men turn ugly!

None of them expected that Ling Buyi would actually have the guts to defy orders!

Should one say that this son is worthy of being Emperor Yongshun's foster son?

Xia Jiang looked toward Zang Ba and the others from the City Guard: "You are to step forward immediately and confiscate their weapons; any resistance will be treated as treason! Kill without mercy!"

"..."

However.

What was awkward.

Happened again.

Zang Ba and the others from the City Guard also remained indifferent!

They only take orders from Jia Hui.

This made Xia Jiang furious; he did not expect that even mere men of the City Guard would dare to defy his orders!

He had no choice but to turn his gaze toward Jia Hui: "Marquis Wushuang, have your men do their work immediately, otherwise, if you delay the Retired Emperor's affairs, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

Jia Hui sneered: "Do you have the Retired Emperor's imperial decree? Why should I, a Vice Minister, take orders from you? Wait until you have requested an imperial decree before speaking!"

On the surface, he is now the Emperor's man.

Even a fellow like Ling Buyi is not cowering.

Naturally, there is no reason for him to cower.

He is an associate second-rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of War; he is not afraid of the other party at all.

"You!"

Xia Jiang was incensed!

Xia Chun and the other two also shouted angrily: "Audacious!"

Jia Hui looked at them as if they were clowns: "This official is being audacious, what can you do about it?"

His expression was disdainful.

So what if it is the Xuanjing Bureau?

Without proof or evidence, they cannot touch him, a Supra-Rank Marquis and Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!

He has troops, power, status, and fame!

At this moment.

Wu Siyue finally appeared silently, standing firmly behind Jia Hui!

Wu Youjue watched and sighed inwardly!

Immediately, he also stood on Jia Hui's side!

Seeing that their boss was doing so!

The men of the Inner Guard hesitated for a moment, then also took their stands!

Remaining were Prince Dongchuan of Lianfang, Lei Jing of the Imperial City Guard, Gu Qianfan, and others.

Prince Dongchuan also decisively made the same choice!

Lei Jing's face darkened.

As a fence-sitter, he did not want to offend Jia Hui!

Nor the Emperor.

And he dared not offend the Retired Emperor even more!

But he had no choice!

If he dared not take a decisive stand this time.

Then he would surely be resented and ostracized by the Emperor.

So he gritted his teeth.

Thinking that the Retired Emperor did not have many years left.

Thus, Lei Jing, along with Gu Qianfan and the others, all stood before the powerful figure of Jia Hui!

"At the very least, if the sky falls, there is a tall person to hold it up!"

Glancing at Jia Hui, who stood taller than everyone else in the field, Lei Jing muttered to himself, then let out a sigh of relief.

And there is no need to mention the six thousand troops of the City Guard!

In an instant.

The hundreds of people from the three major agencies, plus the thousands from the City Guard!

All tacitly stood on Jia Hui's side!

Making Jia Hui's prestige unparalleled!

Setting off Jia Hui's magnificent and peerless stature!

It was shocking, eye-catching, and awe-inspiring!

This was the first time!

Who had ever dared to treat the Xuanjing Bureau like this before, among the three agencies and the City Guard!

No one!

Let alone them!

Among all the civil and military officials at court, and across the entire country, there was not a single person or faction that dared to do so!

This is huge!!!

An Baitan finally could not help but frequently gaze with a strange expression at this man who was different from all others!

Previously, she only had eyes for Prince Chu of Dongchuan.

Even.

The powerful momentum of the Xuanjing Bureau side was brought to a standstill!

This son is actually this terrifying!

Xia Dong also looked at Jia Hui in surprise.

Putting aside their opposing stances.

Deep down, she greatly admired such a tough, manly man as Jia Hui!

Perhaps this is the man with the most backbone and pride in the entire world!

Even her late husband, the Red Flame Army's vanguard general Nie Feng, could not compare!

"Good, good, very good."

"Jia Hui, I will certainly report everything about today's events to the Retired Emperor!"
