Ji An at this moment felt as though he'd been saved by a 'terrorist', who then even invited him over to his house as a guest.
Both shocked and scared.
He knew Zhao Xing was Marquis Yuan Rang, but the Marquis Yuan Rang was only a third-rank Marquis, not a Marquis of the army who would be in possession of such heavy military equipment, right?
Theoretically speaking, Zhao Xing indeed didn't qualify to carry these things, but in order to protect his safety, Luo Hou King had given him special permission to do so.
Back then, four million military merits made Prince Liang force him to only exchange for a Fourth Rank title, and ascend two levels, also stripping away his miscellaneous official status. Of course, Luo Hou King had to provide Zhao Xing with some compensation and ensure his safety.
With these things, Zhao Xing, in a non-combat zone and in combination with his avatars, could easily fend off an average Fourth or Fifth Grade.
