Chapter 330

The movement outside grew larger and larger, and the whole street became agitated.

This area was originally a relatively prosperous downtown area of the Imperial Capital, and the Nine Heavens Jiuxiao Jiuxiao Feiteng Ge was a popular shop crowded with people. Now that the Imperial Guards suddenly appeared, it immediately attracted countless onlookers.

Everyone was very curious; they had all heard that the background of the Nine Heavens Jiuxiao Jiuxiao Feiteng Ge was very strong, and they wondered if it could withstand the pressure of the Imperial Guards.

But thinking about it, it was a bit funny; that was the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards represented the Imperial Family. No matter how hard the background of this shop was, how hard could it be?

I'm afraid the boss behind the scenes of this shop is going to be unlucky.

Inside the Heavenly Number One Room, the atmosphere was completely different.

Li Chen was still leisurely tasting tea, his slender fingers gently rubbing the edge of the cup, as if the commotion outside had nothing to do with him.

Lin Yue'e was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and she snapped another pair of chopsticks.

She secretly glanced at His Majesty, and seeing that His Majesty was so calm, she had to suppress her anger.

And the one with the richest inner drama was the Great General Guo Guo Po Yun.

He sat respectfully on the surface, eating hot pot with great interest; at first, he felt the food didn't taste right, but as he ate, he discovered that there was actually such wonderful food.

Guo Guo Po Yun didn't need to be angry at this time; he was just Li Chen's follower. Even if he was a Great General, so what? This kind of occasion wasn't his turn to stand out.

If he were leading some small generals to eat and someone dared to offend him, that would be not giving him face, and he would certainly go out to give the second-generation ancestor outside a lesson.

Now the one with the highest status was His Majesty Li Chen, and Guo Guo Po Yun was thinking: Since the Imperial Guards appeared, the one making trouble should be the son of a high-ranking general in the Imperial Guards, and being able to command the Imperial Guards to appear, it wasn't an ordinary high-ranking general.

Then the target was obviously those few people. The Imperial Guards were very scary, but that was only for the vast majority of people.

Guo Guo Po Yun wasn't afraid of the Imperial Guards either; he just felt that some general in the Imperial Guards was going to be unlucky tonight; after all, the person with the highest status in the Imperial Family was right here.

Thinking of this, Guo Guo Po Yun almost laughed out loud.

He secretly glanced at His Majesty and found that the corners of His Majesty's mouth were also holding a trace of a lingering smile.

At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, a second-generation ancestor was standing proudly in front of the Imperial Guards' formation.

He was in magnificent attire, with a jade pendant symbolizing his Imperial status hanging from his waist, and his face was full of smugness.

The second-generation ancestor looked at the shopkeeper provocatively: "Why aren't you moving anymore? Weren't you quite capable of fighting just now?"

It could be heard that just now the shopkeeper also had a sense of proportion; he hit the second-generation ancestor's men, but didn't hit the second-generation ancestor himself.

The shopkeeper also seemed to be the kind of person who had seen storms, but he really didn't expect the Imperial Guards to support a second-generation ancestor.

He looked past the second-generation ancestor and looked directly at the captain of this team of Imperial Guards, saying with a smile: "General, our shop has always been law-abiding, I don't know..."

"Cut the crap!" The captain of the Imperial Guards, Zhang Hu, said coldly, "Someone reported that you are harboring remnants of the former dynasty in your shop! This General is ordered to search!"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of fully armed Imperial Guards immediately surrounded the hot pot restaurant.

When the shopkeeper heard this, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

It turned out that the second-generation ancestor used this reason to send out the Imperial Guards.

Seeing the shopkeeper's dejected appearance, the second-generation ancestor smiled like a flower.

His name was Li Zhao, a disciple of the Li Imperial Family, and among the second-generation ancestors of the Imperial Family, his status was not low.

Today he brought a few fox friends to eat; with his status and position, no matter where he went, he certainly had to have the Heavenly Number One Room and the highest treatment; only then would it fit his status.

Normally, as long as he showed his identity, the people in the Heavenly Number One Room would have to give up their seats. Just now, the shopkeeper made him lose face in front of his friends, so he certainly had to get it back.

Li Zhao wasn't stupid; he couldn't mobilize the Imperial Guards at will; he didn't have this authority.

But he had a way: I'll just say you have remnants of the former dynasty in your shop, and the Imperial Guards will certainly be sent out. I'll check you every day so you can't even do business; this is the method second-generation disciples are used to for making trouble.

The shopkeeper accompanied him with a smiling face and said: "General, I wonder if you can give me a few minutes..."

Actually, the shopkeeper wanted to drag out the time; it was estimated that the person who reported the news would soon pass the message to the top.

In a certain sense, the shopkeeper was already working hard to save Li Zhao and Zhang Hu.

But Li Zhao just didn't believe in this evil, and he said sharply: "Shut up! I think you are an accomplice of the remnants of the former dynasty! Men, search for me! Especially the Heavenly Number One Room!"

As soon as the words fell, the Imperial Guards rushed into the hot pot restaurant; the people inside indeed didn't dare to block them and could only cooperate.

Anyone who blocked the Imperial Guards at this time would be in trouble if they were treated as accomplices of the remnants of the former dynasty.

Inside the private room, Guo Guo Po Yun wanted to laugh a bit; he felt that this kid Li Zhao was truly courting death, actually putting the hat of "remnant of the former dynasty" on the current Emperor.

At this time, the Imperial Guards had already rushed into the shop, roughly pushing away other diners, and headed straight for the Heavenly Number One Room.

With a "bang," the private room door was kicked open.

Li Zhao stood at the door proudly, just about to speak, but his gaze suddenly solidified, and the smug look on his face disappeared instantly, because he saw Li Chen sitting in the main seat.

He also knew the two beside him; one was Lin Yue'e, who had arrested him; at that time, Lin Yue'e was still a constable.

The other was the current Great General Guo Guo Po Yun; in terms of official position, perhaps it was even higher than his father's.

"Your... Your Majesty?" Li Zhao's legs went soft, and he knelt directly on the ground.

As a direct descendant of the Imperial Family, he had certainly seen Li Chen on various occasions.

Zhang Hu was also dumbfounded, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."

This one was even more afraid; the Imperial Guards had certainly seen Li Chen.

They just didn't expect to meet Li Chen in this place.

Hearing this "Your Majesty" from Li Zhao, the Imperial Guards beside him were also so scared that they knelt on the ground on the spot.

The whole area was instantly silent, and the people outside didn't know what had happened inside.

They were just curious why there was no movement after the Imperial Guards went in.

Li Chen wiped his mouth in a leisurely manner, raised his eyes to look at Li Zhao, and said: "Listening to your tone, I am a remnant of the former dynasty?"

Li Zhao's face turned ashen, his whole body trembling like chaff: "Your subject... your subject didn't know it was Your Majesty..."

His status was very noble, but no matter how noble, he couldn't be compared with Li Chen.

In other words, there were very few people in the Imperial Capital he didn't dare to offend, but they were all here.

Li Chen was just eating a meal here and was too lazy to be angry with a small character like Li Zhao. When passing by Li Zhao, Li Chen paused his steps: "By the way, your father is Li Sixing, right? Tell him, after the morning court tomorrow, let him come to see me."

You're always shouting and asking others "Do you know who your father is?"

It's a coincidence, others don't know who your father is, but I happen to know.

This sentence almost scared Li Zhao into fainting.

Zhang Hu beside him almost stopped his heartbeat; he thought to himself: Li Zhao, this living ancestor, you have harmed me miserably.

Since Li Chen had spoken, Lin Yue'e and Guo Guo Po Yun, who were following, didn't say anything, and the three left the hot pot restaurant just like that.

In the palace, Chu Ruoyan soon received the news that the hot pot restaurant was surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

That shopkeeper was a member of the Chu family!
