Chapter 824: Height Over Seven Feet

Sang Qi turned around and said in a colder voice, "Prime Minister Gao, General Zhan was ordered to escort Lord Li to Dayu City. Did the Emperor know in advance that Ye Qianning was still alive?"

Prime Minister Gao was stunned and looked at the emperor silently.

Emperor Beili was also stunned, then came to his senses and realized that it was indeed he who ordered Zhan Chi to go to Dayu City.

"Gu Shuo is a businessman, Qian Fanji owns a coal mine. As far as I know, Qian Fanji's coal mine has been sold to Nanyuan at cost for the past ten years and has supplied Nanyuan for so many years. Now that the Four Nations Chamber of Commerce is approaching, Qian Fanji will naturally go and have a chat. What's so strange about them getting together?" Sang Qi said in a loud voice.

Prime Minister Gao was speechless.

The anger in the heart of Emperor Beili also subsided after these words. The four countries' Chamber of Commerce, all the merchants from the four countries who were involved in business would go to Dayu City...

"Even if they didn't know in advance, Ye Qianning was shot through the heart by an arrow ten years ago and died on the spot. Now he has returned intact. This is too strange."

"What's so weird? The Taoist priest who took Ye Qianning away by the emperor might be a hermit. Otherwise, why didn't he get any results after making so many inquiries? The Taoist priest must be an old immortal. He must have saved the little girl. The little girl is really lucky." Zhan Yi suppressed his inner excitement.

Prime Minister Gao was very disgusted and stood up to salute the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a god in the world. This is clearly a fake death."

"What do you mean by faking death? Prime Minister Gao, please don't talk nonsense." Zhan Yi stood up from the ground.

"To be alive after being shot through the heart, either he's faking his death, or... that child isn't even human!"

"You are not a human being. Believe it or not, if you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart." Zhan Yi rolled up his sleeves.

"You dare... Ouch..."

Prime Minister Gao took advantage of the fact that he was in the imperial study and stretched his neck forward, but who knew that he was slapped in the face the moment he stretched his head forward, and his head immediately felt buzzing.

The officials present, Sang Qi, and Emperor Beili were all stunned.

I didn't expect Zhan Yi to dare to hit someone in the imperial study.

"Don't blame me for being rude if you dare to talk nonsense again." Zhan Yi pointed at him angrily.

“…”

You're welcome?

How can you be so rude? I'm going to slap you in the face.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please help me. Zhan Yi actually dared to act so presumptuously in the imperial study..." Prime Minister Gao immediately knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying.

"Zhan Yi, you are so brave." Emperor Beili scolded angrily.

Zhan Yi withdrew his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this old minister deserves death for his recklessness, but Prime Minister Gao's harsh words are unacceptable to me."

"Don't you agree? How can a person with an arrow through his heart survive? If he's not a monster, then what is he?" Prime Minister Gao retorted even though his cheeks hurt.

"The world is so big, there are talented people everywhere, and it is often said that hermits and masters can kill people with their healing skills. My granddaughter is still alive, so she must have met a master. She spreads rumors about ghosts and monsters. If it weren't for Prime Minister Gao staying in the imperial study, I would have thought she was a charlatan from the underworld." Zhan Yi snorted coldly in contempt.

"The rumors about the deadly treatment are just lies..."

"Prime Minister Gao, if you don't believe there are such people in the world and insist on talking about ghosts and gods, then I won't be polite." Zhan Yi interrupted him and continued, "Your son has suffered from dwarfism since childhood. Rumor has it that only a medicine from the Penglai Immortal Mountain can cure it. Otherwise, your son's body would only maintain the height of a five or six-year-old child. Now your son is over seven feet tall, right? Could it be that Prime Minister Gao found the immortal medicine from the Penglai Immortal Mountain for your son?"
