Chapter 610: Can you give your little brother a hint? Which big shot is it?

Chu Xiang was beaten dizzy and completely lost his temper, and along with those guards who usually relied on his power, they were all taken away by the garrison soldiers.

In front of a real army, especially an army that had been provoked and had a tough officer backing them, their arrogant aura was simply not enough; previously, they were just foxes pretending to be tigers.

And on Li Chen's side, those soldiers and low-level officers who had sneered and whispered about him now looked at him with different eyes.

Although they still felt he was tyrannical, this tyranny was used on "their own side," so the feeling was completely different.

"Tsk, didn't expect this Cheng fellow to be so protective of his own?"

"Although the method was a bit rough, it was damn satisfying!"

"Sure enough, to deal with an evil young master from the Imperial Capital, you have to be an even more tyrannical evil young master from the Imperial Capital!"

Even that high, thin officer who was extremely displeased with Li Chen at the beginning crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and gave a reluctant evaluation: "Hmph, the style of a playboy! But he did do something human; it's just that the Chu family's influence is deeply rooted, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble."

Through this incident, the prestige of Commandant "Cheng Li," the alias of Li Chen, among this garrison had invisibly improved quite a bit.

At the very least, the soldiers felt that although this master was lazy, he was truly daring and capable of shouldering responsibility at critical moments.

On the other side, Chu Pengzhan was already furious.

He had been traveling between the Imperial Capital and the North for many years, and relying on the Chu family name, all parties would give him some face; when had he ever suffered such a great humiliation as today?

Being slapped in public by a mere Commandant, and having his face stepped on by a military boot!

But he knew well that he must not have a direct conflict with the army; that was a path to death.

In the Tian Ce Dynasty, many times what is valued is not killing, but interpersonal relationships.

The thing the Chu family lacked the least was connections and relationships.

He suppressed the urge to explode immediately, not even saying another harsh word.

He planned to endure this breath for now, let his nephew suffer a bit in the military camp with the soldiers, while he himself would immediately enter the city to pull strings; he had to make this "Commandant Cheng Li," who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, suffer. He was too familiar with this process.

However, just as he wanted to turn and enter the city, Li Chen called him back again, his gaze falling on that carriage: "Slow down. That large box on your carriage, what is inside? Open it for inspection."

It was because of this matter just now that Chu Xiang was stopped.

Chu Pengzhan's face stiffened, and he squeezed out a smile, his tone as gentle as possible: "This military master, what is contained in the box is an internal item of my Chu family, involving some family secrets, and it is really inconvenient to open it for inspection here. Do you think you could accommodate us? Or, could you invite a higher-level officer to decide?"

His words sounded polite, but in reality, he was implying that Li Chen's rank was not high enough and he was not qualified to check the Chu family's things.

Who knew Li Chen wouldn't buy this at all; upon hearing this, his eyebrows rose, and without warning, he backhanded another slap!

"Smack!"

This slap was just as crisp and loud, landing directly on the other side of Chu Pengzhan's face!

"Damn it!" Li Chen cursed, his tone arrogant to the extreme, "I told you to open it, that's an order! Not a negotiation! Can't you understand human speech?" ===== CHAPTER 611 =====
