"This old bastard, does he really think that we, an orphan and a widow, are easy to bully? I'm going to meet him right now and see what he wants to say!" Lu Nianxin stood up and cursed.
Mu Hanyan's forehead was sweating again. Her two sons and one daughter were all alive, and her eldest son was the king of a country. She could not be called an orphan and a widow. Moreover, Mu Hanyan had already learned from the casual chat just now that her grandfather, the emperor, had not passed away. After Yue Fanyi came of age, he passed the throne to him and began to practice in seclusion for many years.
In fact, this is also the ancestral system of the Shangyue royal family. Emperors of all dynasties would abdicate as soon as their sons reached adulthood, and then concentrate on cultivation. For those who may have ulterior motives, the existence of these retired emperors is undoubtedly a great deterrent. The fact that the Yue throne has been able to be passed down for so many years is also closely related to this ancestral system.
In short, no matter what, Lu Nianxin has nothing to do with the words "orphan and widow".
"Mother, please calm down. Mother, please calm down." Yue Fanyi and Yue Fanchen quickly stood up and grabbed their mother who was about to go berserk.
"Mother, don't pay attention to him. I will handle this matter myself." Yue Fanyi advised repeatedly.
"What can you do? The Wu family has always been arrogant and domineering, relying on their ancestors who conquered the world together with Emperor Taizu. Now they dare to bully my precious granddaughter. If I don't teach that old man a lesson today, he will really think that my Yue family has no one left." Lu Nianxin cursed loudly, pushed Yue Fanyi and the other two away, and disappeared from sight in a flash.
"Not good!" Yue Fanyi and Yue Fanchen's faces suddenly changed and they chased after him.
Mu Hanyan didn't expect her grandmother to be so angry, so she quickly followed her.
Just when she was halfway through the run, Mu Hanyan heard a muffled groan. Although the sound was not made by Lu Nianxin, she still felt uneasy and quickened her pace.
Mu Hanyan heard muffled groans one after another, and finally ran to the gate of the palace. Then, when she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned.
I saw my grandmother holding a ten-foot-long sword in both hands, dancing with great vigor, chasing an old man with white hair all over the ground.
The old man was extremely tall and strong. If he put on armor and stood there, his majestic posture would probably be no different from the ancient war gods in ancient paintings. However, at this moment, facing the big knife in Lu Nianxin's hand, he had no power to resist at all.
The phoenix crown on Lu Nian's heart had been thrown away somewhere long ago. Her long hair danced in the wind, and her graceful and beautiful face was full of anger. Every time the big knife swung, a sharp whistling sound was heard. The blade light passed by, and twisted air tunnels appeared, as if even the air was torn apart.
"Old bastard, don't you want to explain? Is this explanation enough? Is it enough?" Lu Nianxin did not forget to shout angrily with every swing of his sword.
The sword in Wu Tianxiong's hand, which was not a divine weapon but not much worse than it was, had been chopped into a crooked shape. It was covered with canine teeth and looked even more scrap metal than scrap metal. Every time he blocked the sword, his face turned pale and he finally stumbled and fell to the ground.
Lu Nianxin did not let him go, still shouting and cursing, turning the long sword around and slashing at him with the back of the sword one after another.
Outside the palace gate, Wu Tianxiong's shrill howls were heard.
Mu Hanyan was stunned and her scalp was tingling: It was so violent, so violent!
The imperial guards who came all around after hearing the news were also stunned. They wanted to stop it, but the one who attacked was the Queen Mother, and the one who was beaten was the King Bingjian. Who of them dared to take action?
"How pitiful! How dare he attack the Queen Mother? Is he out of his mind?" Yue Fanchen murmured.
"You saw him fighting with the Queen Mother with your eye, but why did I only see him getting beaten?" Yue Fanyi touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Brother, won't you try to persuade our mother?" Yue Fanchen said.
"After so many years, it's rare for someone to dare to compete with my mother in skills. I think my mother must be itching to compete, so let them compete for a while." Yue Fanyi waved his sleeves and turned around to enter the palace.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, Mu Hanyan could clearly see the sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
Mu Hanyan's heart moved, and she vaguely understood his intention. She was the queen dowager, but she beat the King Bingjian to the ground and made him wail. Even if he was the king of a country, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.
However, if it was just a sparring match, it wouldn't be a big deal. The people of Shangyue are martial artists, and the Queen Mother and the King of Side by Side are of the same generation, so a few exchanges of moves wouldn't be a big deal. If word got out, it might even become a good story. Wu Zixiong probably wouldn't be too embarrassed to tell everyone that he was beaten up by the Queen Mother. If he showed up, it would be inappropriate.
"Go away, what's there to see? The Queen Mother and the King of Binjian were in good spirits today and exchanged a few moves. Don't spread the news." As brothers, Yue Fanchen immediately understood Yue Fanyi's intention and waved his hand to the imperial guards.
The imperial guards were already in a dilemma, and upon hearing this, they immediately scattered.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting." Wu Tianxiong was beaten so hard that his old bones almost broke. He could no longer hold on and begged in tears.
"Old man, don't you want to confess? Is this enough?" Lu Nianxin slammed his long sword on the ground and asked sternly.
"Enough, enough, I don't want to confess anymore." Wu Tianxiong said breathlessly.
"Hmph." Lu Nianxin threw away the long sword, without even looking at Wu Tianxiong, turned around and entered the palace.
Several guards rushed forward to catch the long sword, but there was a crisp sound of bang, and several people were knocked to the ground by the long sword.
Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked. This long sword must weigh at least several hundred pounds. She didn't know how her grandmother had been able to wield it so vigorously before.
Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a little suspicious. Was it really because her grandfather followed the ancestral rules and passed on the throne to a virtuous person that he went into seclusion to practice? Was there really no other reason?
Mu Hanyan and Yue Fanchen looked at each other, turned around quickly and entered the palace.
"Now you know how powerful your grandmother is. I heard that when the emperor father had just ascended the throne, because his cultivation was still shallow, many princes of the previous generation were dissatisfied. The queen mother used a big knife to beat them until they submitted, whether they wanted to or not. But she has been cultivating herself and has stopped fighting with others over the years, so many people have forgotten the queen mother's true strength. But after beating Wu Tianxiong up today, I guess those old guys will be honest for many years." Yue Fanchen said with some pride.
Mu Hanyan finally understood the complexities behind the Yue clan's success in securing the throne. It was no wonder, the Shangyue Kingdom was different from the others. Even the struggle for the throne was based on the belief that the strong reigned supreme. Without sufficient strength, one could never hope to secure the position.
