Chapter 1189 Han Wenjun

Long Chen stood in silver armor at the top of Grand Xia City’s gates . Thousands of imperial guards were standing behind him with their armor s.h.i.+ning brightly .

The path to the gates had been perfectly cleaned, and following the etiquette of receiving a diplomatic delegation, they had an army quietly standing there .

“What’s going on? They’re still not here? It’s been over an incense stick’s worth of time since the scheduled time . ” Long Chen frowned .

“Reporting to the Great General, the Grand Han’s people are often late by up to three incense sticks’ worth of time,” said one of the high-ranking officers . He was very familiar with the Grand Han’s style .

“Ah, is that so? Then it’s simple . ”

Long Chen was enraged upon hearing this . He disliked people who didn’t know how to be punctual . Did they think they could make him wait? That would be giving them far too much face .

“Alright brothers, we’re taking the rest of the day off . Everyone go back and seal the city gates,” ordered Long Chen . They thought they could be bigger posers than him? He directly ordered the city gates closed .

“Great General…” The other high-ranking officers all jumped . Was he crazy?

“It’s fine, I will take responsibility for any consequences . There are some people who just can’t be indulged . Close the gates,” declared Long Chen .

“The Grand Han’s imperial carriage has arrived!”

Just at this moment, a snow-white horse emitting a powerful aura appeared . It pulled a grand carriage as it rushed toward the city gates .

“Great General, they’ve arrived!” said one of the officers .

“So what? We’re off-duty . Close the gates . No one is allowed to open them,” said Long Chen as he began taking off his armor .

“My Grand Han’s imperial carriage has arrived . Why are the gates closed? Are you not going to come out and greet us?”

Amongst the hundreds of guards around the carriage, a man whose face was as big as a flat cake opened his mouth .

“Sorry, you’ve come late . We’ve already stopped working . If you want, you can go through the small gate to the side . ” Long Chen shrugged helplessly . At this time, he had already taken off his imperial armor and was in casual dress, indicating he wasn’t on duty .

“You…! How can my Grand Han’s prince walk in through the gate for commoners? You are trying to humiliate us!” roared that person .

“What’s wrong with commoners? Can you not walk the same path as them? Well, they also eat food, drink water, and breathe air . Are you going to stop doing that as well? Tch, do you have a problem with your head? You’re the ones who arrived late, so who do you think is to blame? Let me make things clear to you: I’m already off duty, so either walk through the side door, or go back to wherever you came from . ”

Long Chen didn’t give them any chance to reply . He directly turned and left .

Long Chen’s departure dumbfounded the other guards and officials . It seemed this didn’t conform with the Grand Xia’s etiquette . To refuse its guests outside the door would affect the Grand Xia’s image .

But their leader had already left, and they didn’t dare to go directly against his orders and open the gates on their own . They just stood there blankly .

“This Long Chen seems to be doing quite well in the Grand Xia . ” Within the carriage, an extraordinarily handsome man with pretty features stared at the city gates indifferently .

This handsome man was one of the famed Three Monarchs of the Grand Han, Han Wenjun . He was also one of the Grand Han’s imperial princes .

“He probably wants to obtain the Grand Xia’s protection, which is why he’s hiding inside,” said an elder beside Han Wenjun .

This elder was surprisingly the master of the Heavenly Fate Pavilion, Xuan Jizi . After the Xuan Master’s slap in the face, he hadn’t been able to find any way to handle Long Chen .

He had decided to follow Han Wenjun on his trip to the Grand Xia this time . His target was Long Chen . If Long Chen didn’t die, he wouldn’t be able to set his mind at ease .

These days, he was always extremely tense, afraid that Long Chen would reveal what he had done .

Compared to Long Chen, Hua s.h.i.+yu wasn’t worth the panic . She had her large Hua family and had no choice but to consider her family’s safety first . So she wouldn’t dare to go against him .

However, Long Chen was different . His parents in the Eastern Wasteland had vanished . His family was gone, and he was free to do whatever he wanted . Such people were the most frightening .

“It’s unexpected that Long Chen actually managed to get his own official position in the Grand Xia . He’s intentionally making things hard on us . He already killed one of the members of my Grand Han imperial family despite our warning, and now he even dares to humiliate us by stopping me in front of the city . This suicidal b.a.s.t.a.r.d deserves a thousand deaths,” snorted Han Wenjun .

“The four ancient nations always maintained a subtle balance, refusing to raise their weapons against each other . It truly was an excellent decision to hide here . Furthermore, it’s not convenient for me to force things within Grand Xia City . I’ll need to take my time planning how to handle him . Moreover, our main goal is to form a good relations.h.i.+p with the Wine G.o.d Palace this time,” said Xuan Jizi .
