Chapter 97

"Xiaobao!"

After Lin Sha's figure completely disappeared from sight, a call woke Wei Xiaobao from his shock. ...

"Master!"

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly instructed his men to take the injured Heaven and Earth Society members to be treated, then respectfully escorted the Venerable Jiunan to a chair and had her sit down.

"This Lin Sha is extremely dangerous; it's best not to provoke him if you can avoid it!"

Venerable Jiunan warned with a serious face.

"But he's just a minor officer of the Yunnan army. If Master takes action, isn't it just a matter of a moment?"

Wei Xiaobao replied with a playful smile, his mental fortitude indeed extraordinary.

"Don't just flatter me. If we really face off, I have no guarantee either!"

Venerable Jiunan smiled lightly and shook her head, then said with a look of disappointment and gritted teeth, "I didn't expect that old bandit Wu to have such a high-level expert by his side. Xiaobao, you must be extremely careful in the future!"

Leaving aside Wei Xiaobao's surprise and wariness, Lin Sha left the temporary residence of the imperial envoy, patrolled the outer area to ensure there were no omissions, and then returned home to talk to the two women.

The following few days were calm. Wei Xiaobao and the Heaven and Earth Society members did not cause any trouble, and even the incident at Heikanzhi was easily smoothed over by Wei Xiaobao. Lin Sha could only sigh that this kid was born to mix in the political arena, no wonder he could rise so quickly in the Qing court.

It can only be said that wherever Wei Xiaobao is, there is never a lack of excitement...

Sure enough, not long after, Lin Sha suddenly received an order to temporarily hand over the guard duty at the imperial envoy's residence and move his troops to the city's military camp to await orders.

Just a few days after he led his 300 regular troops away, a fire broke out at the imperial envoy's residence. The commotion in the garden lasted for a while until dawn when it finally subsided.

Lin Sha didn't need to personally investigate; his subordinates promptly delivered the news: A fire broke out at the imperial envoy's residence. Prince Wu Yingxiong attempted to assault the princess but was stopped in time by the marriage envoy Wei Xiaobao and the palace guards. During the struggle, Wu Yingxiong was unfortunately injured and fell unconscious!

Hearing this, Lin Sha couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Wu Yingxiong must have become a eunuch this time.

However, soon more news came: Old Wu was attacked, and the city was placed under emergency lockdown. Lin Sha and his regular troops were ordered to patrol and maintain vigilance.

Just as they finished patrolling a street, they heard the faint sound of hooves growing louder, coming from the direction of the imperial envoy's residence. Soon, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Lin Sha's face changed; someone dared to ride towards the Pingxi Wang's residence!

He let out a whistle and quickly led his 300 regular troops to intercept them.

"What are you doing, Lord Wei?"

Lin Sha took the lead, his gaze coldly sweeping over the aggressive cavalry officers, finally landing on Wei Xiaobao, who was surrounded by his men and looked anxious.

"Commander Lin, quickly move aside! I need to speak with the Pingxi Wang!"

Knowing that the small commander before him was not to be trifled with, Wei Xiaobao tried to suppress his anxiety and spoke in a calm voice. The Heaven and Earth Society members around him drew their swords, tense and on high alert, still vividly remembering the previous fight.

"Lord Wei, what are you doing, bringing the elite cavalry to see the Pingxi Wang?"

Lin Sha remained unmoved, only coldly questioning.

"Boy, move aside quickly! A small commander like you has no right to speak!"

"Exactly, move aside quickly, or the cavalry will show you what it means to be tough!"

"My rank is higher than yours, so move aside or you'll be asking for death!"

"..."

Before Wei Xiaobao could say anything, the cavalry officers couldn't help but speak up, saying all sorts of harsh words, clearly not taking the small fourth-rank commander of the Yunnan army seriously.

Bang!

Lin Sha didn't say a word, only took out his long spear and thrust it into the hard cobblestone street, making a dull sound that immediately drew everyone's attention, unsure of what he was doing.

What he was doing was soon revealed!

With a slight flick of his wrist, the spearhead, which had been fully inserted into the cobblestone, suddenly bent into a bow shape and then 'bang'—a cobblestone the size of a washbasin was launched into the air. Before anyone could react, a shadow of the spear came up and struck it.

Boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the cobblestone was shattered into pieces that flew everywhere.

Sigh!

The cavalry officers, who had been dismissive, were now shocked and cold sweat broke out on their backs. They were embarrassed by their previous taunts. If Lin Sha had a bad temper and suddenly attacked them with the spear, the outcome would be unimaginable!

Not just the cavalry officers, even the Heaven and Earth Society members changed their expressions, gripping their weapons tightly, their hearts screaming: Where did such a monster come from?

Wei Xiaobao was also terrified, swallowing hard, and finally managed to ask, "What, what do you want? I am the imperial envoy!"

"Because you are the imperial envoy, I didn't directly kill anyone!"

Lin Sha smiled lightly, his long spear trembling slightly, creating a few dazzling pear blossoms in the air. The Heaven and Earth Society members and the cavalry officers, who understood the severity, all changed their expressions, becoming extremely cautious, afraid that the unknown expert before them might suddenly attack.

"What do you mean by blocking the road?"

Wei Xiaobao, who had slightly recovered, asked in a stern voice.

His reaction made the Heaven and Earth Society members and the cavalry officers even more nervous, their foreheads drenched in cold sweat, almost shouting out in alarm. They gripped their weapons so tightly that their knuckles turned white, ready to act at any moment.

"What do you mean, Lord Wei?"

Lin Sha countered, pointing to the hundreds of fully armed cavalry officers behind Wei Xiaobao, and sneered, "You, a high-ranking imperial envoy, need to bring so many soldiers to see the Pingxi Wang?"

Wei Xiaobao's face turned awkward, but he quickly thought of an excuse. Unfortunately, Lin Sha, knowing his smooth talk, wouldn't let him speak.

He extended his long spear and said coldly, "Lord Wei, don't make things difficult for me. I don't want to get involved in your affairs with the Pingxi Wang, nor do I want to know what has driven you to such extremes. But I must remind you, this is Yunnan Province, the fief of the Pingxi Wang!"

Wei Xiaobao was speechless, and Lin Sha continued, "If you want to pass, it's simple. Have your soldiers return to their base. You can bring your personal guards; no one will dare to challenge the imperial envoy. What do you say, Lord Wei?"

As he spoke, nearby Yunnan army troops, hearing the news, slowly gathered...
