"You can mobilize the surrounding garrison. You are the prefect, you have this right."
Huo Gang had stayed in the Prime Minister's Office for a long time and had a systematic understanding of things within the imperial system.
After hearing this, the prefect even smiled bitterly.
"Master Huo, if I really have the ability to mobilize the nearby defenders, do you think... I can still be coerced by the Zhonglie Hou Mansion to attend such a ridiculous wedding?"
The prefect wanted to add one more thing, if he had such ability, how could Huo Gang, an unofficial figure in the world, be able to order him to do things?
"Why not?" Huo Gang was a little angry.
"To tell you the truth, the garrison stationed around here, from generals to vanguards, are all single-handedly promoted by the Zhonglie Marquis Mansion. They are the confidants of the Xiao family. Except for Zhonglie Marquis Xiao Wenyuan and Mrs. Xiao, no one can command them.
Do not move."
Huo Gang was stunned. He believed that what the prefect said was true, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
It is not easy for this magistrate to be the governor. Even though he is the most powerful commander in the entire state, he still has to look at the Xiao family's face at every turn.
"Sir...Sir...it's not good, something serious is going to happen." The master rolled in and ran in, his face full of fear.
The prefect's mood became even more irritable. "What are you shouting about? How appropriate is it?"
"Sir, the Marquis led a group of people and surrounded the government office. He said... He wants you to immediately hand over the person who caused trouble in the Marquis' Mansion last night..." The Master looked at Huo Gang and swallowed the rest of his words forcibly.
"Also... we have to hand over Princess An Ning. If you don't, he will lead his men into the government office and kill you... together."
When the prefect heard this, he became furious and slapped the table with his palm.
"How unreasonable. Xiao Wenyuan really thinks that this country belongs to their family? If he dares to break into the government office by force, it will be a crime of treason. I don't believe it, he dares!"
Huo Gang could see that the prefect was holding back a lot of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger.
It seems that the Xiao family has oppressed him quite a lot over the years.
"Sir, he is really not afraid." Master reminded, "Have you forgotten? The Xiao family has a gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor."
The magistrate instantly withered, his expression gradually became sluggish, and he fell into a chair without saying a word.
He felt that his death was coming.
Listening to Xiao Wenyuan's words is tantamount to offending Shangguan Yue; choosing to protect Shangguan Wan Ning is tantamount to going against Xiao Wenyuan.
No matter which one it is, he is dead.
Huo Gang pondered for a long time and walked out of the hall.
He called his close men and warned: "The four of you immediately go and guard the princess. If the situation is not good, take the princess away. Don't worry about anything and send the princess to meet the King of Zhennan.
"
"yes."
After Huo Gang finished his instructions, he came to the door of the government office.
Sure enough, as the prefect said, the defenders in the nearby area only listened to the Xiao family's orders.
It was almost impossible for them to break out among thousands of troops.
"Xiao Wenyuan, are you going to start an army and cause trouble?" Huo Gang asked scolding.
"You have no right to talk to me. Hand over Shangguan Wan Ning." Xiao Wenyuan was already furious.
Huo Gang smiled coldly and said: "Let me tell you, Princess Anning has a noble status and will never be trampled by you. The government office is the place of the imperial court. I don't believe you dare to break in. --- Close the door."
Huo Gang ordered the government officials to close the gate of the government office.
"Master Huo, is this okay?" the catcher asked worriedly.
Before Huo Gang had time to answer, he heard the sound of banging on the door.
He did not expect that Xiao Wenyuan really had no worries at all.
The government officials immediately drew their steel knives on guard. When a group of people broke in, the two sides immediately fell into a melee.
But how could a government official be a match for well-trained soldiers?
Huo Gang was thinking about taking Guan Wanning and leaving immediately. Several sharp arrows flew over and he saw Xiao Wenyuan being knocked off his horse.
A loud roar came from not far away, and groups of well-dressed soldiers rushed over with spears and shields in hand, surrounding Xiao Wenyuan's men.
Huo Gang was overjoyed when he saw the leader coming on horseback.
"Your Majesty!"
Mu Jingrui saw Huo Gang in the melee, nodded slightly, jumped up from his horse, pulled out his long sword and stabbed Xiao Wenyuan.
Xiao Wenyuan was never Mu Jingrui's opponent, and because he was injured by Huo Gang last night, he was even more powerless at this moment.
"Anyone who dares to enter the government office will be shot without mercy."
Mu Jingrui took advantage of the situation and held a sword flower on his arm, holding a long sword dripping with blood, and stood proudly at the door of the government office.
The reputation of the King of Zhennan spread far and wide, and when the soldiers saw this, they stopped fighting and retreated timidly.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Mu Jingrui walked slowly to Xiao Wenyuan.
"Do you know that leading troops to attack the government office is equivalent to conspiring to rebel? I can execute you on the spot."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Wenyuan covered his chest, stood up unsteadily, and said with a laugh, "Justice on the spot? Who do you think you are? Do you have this ability? Do you have this ability?"
A sharp light flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes.
Xiao Wenyuan showed a look of disdain towards Mu Jingrui.
"My Xiao family has a gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor. I am Marquis Zhonglie, so I have this privilege. Not to mention you, King Zhennan, even if the emperor comes, he can't do anything to me."
Mu Jingrui's eyes narrowed, murderous intent emerging.
Huo Gang came forward, leaned into Mu Jingrui's ear, and briefly told what happened last night.
Mu Jingrui suddenly felt a chill coming to his heart.
If Huo Gang hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't he and Shangguan Wan Ning have become separated from each other?
"Come here, arrest him."
Mu Jingrui gave the order, but no one moved.
The gold medal for immunity from death scares everyone.
Upon seeing this, Huo Gang took a few steps forward and pushed Xiao Wenyuan to the ground.
"Let go...Mu Jingrui, you are so brave, how dare you not take the late emperor into consideration?"
"You said that the late emperor gave you a gold medal for immunity from death? Humph! I have been an official for a long time, and I have never heard of any gold medal for immunity from death. However, it is a fact that you led troops to attack the government office. It is natural and legal for me to arrest you.
"
"If you don't want to die, ask your family to come to the government office to rescue you with a gold medal for immunity from death. If you can't get it... you just wait until your head falls to the ground."
Mu Jingrui's face was gloomy and his eyes were sharp, which gave Xiao Wenyuan an ominous premonition.
However, he always believed that he still had strong backing.
"Mu Jingrui... we'll see..."
Xiao Wenyuan was taken away by Huo Gang. Mu Jingrui glanced around and said to the soldiers Xiao Wenyuan brought: "I know the matter has nothing to do with you. Go back and ask your general to see me."
After saying that, Mu Jingrui turned around and walked into the government office.
Under the guidance of his master, he hurried to Shangguan Wan Ning's room and heard a shrill roar from a distance.
"Ning'er?"
