Long Bo's order was ignored by the soldiers and royal agents alike. Mingzhe's orders on the other hand were not. While everyone's heart was thrumming intensely from all the unexpected excitement, two imperial soldiers jumped dramatically on He Yuan, knocking over Long Bo as they arrested his bodyguard. He was not just knocked over, he was kicked in the shin and it was deliberate.
"Jun Mingzhe!!" Long Bo gutturalized the name like a an angry animal.
Mingzhe stood up and faced the emperor, inclining his head politely. "I apologize for my actions your highness."
Junjie waved the apology away. "You told me that you would be making an arrest of someone close to me tonight so I was prepared for some theatrics. I just didn't expect you to fire a weapon."
Those around them were surprised. This was a planned arrest!! Why did it have to be done in their presence and why had a gun been fired? Professor Jack was certain that his blood pressure was through the roof.
