Chapter 376 Dongfeng Court
According to the news sent back by the spies of Xifeng Kingdom, Murong Li was still in the capital during the New Year, but he came to the imperial capital of Dongfeng Kingdom in just ten days.
It can be seen that the capital of Dongfeng Kingdom is not only tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of Xifeng Kingdom, but in this severe winter when many roads are closed, they unexpectedly arrived at the Dongfeng Imperial City without any warning.
This Murong Li's ability...
If he wants to cause trouble in Dongfeng Imperial City, who can prevent him?
The consequences...
The more the prince thought about it, the more frightened he became. He never thought Murong Li was so terrifying.
However, whatever he feared would come true. At this time, Murong Li and Su Yue had already arrived outside the hall, but Murong Li was holding a person in his hand. That person was General Wu who had a broken leg.
The guard who went to deliver the message almost fainted when he saw General Wu.
The guard's face was pale at this moment. As soon as he arrived outside the hall, he immediately ran in to report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Li and Princess Li of Xifeng Kingdom are already waiting outside."
Emperor Dong Feng said in a deep voice, "Please invite Prince Li and Princess Li in."
The eunuch standing at the entrance to the main hall immediately sang, "Please invite the Prince and Princess of Xifeng to enter the palace!"
Murong Li and Su Yue looked at each other, then stepped into the hall.
The civil and military officials in the hall were standing on each side. When they heard the footsteps of the two people, they all turned their heads to look at them.
However, when they saw that Murong Li was holding another person in his hand, everyone was shocked.
I can't see General Wu's face, but I still recognize the armor on him. Isn't that General Wu?
"You bold lunatic, put General Wu down now."
General Qi recognized the person in Murong Li's hand at a glance. He stepped out of the line and stood in front of Murong Li and the other man, pointing at Murong Li and scolding him angrily.
Murong Li curled the corners of his lips slightly, glanced at the frowning Emperor Dong Feng above him, raised his hand and gently rolled General Qi back.
He said coldly: "This king is not a madman, I am Murong Li from Xifeng Country."
He looked at the Emperor of Dongfeng and said with a playful tone: "I didn't know that the court of Dongfeng Kingdom is like a vegetable market, and even crazy people can come here."
General Qi, who was being rolled away, felt as if he was being swept back by an irresistible force. He was horrified at the profound inner strength of King Li.
Just when he was about to challenge Murong Li to a duel, he heard the cold voice of the Eastern Phoenix Emperor: "Prince Li and Princess Li have come from afar, and I apologize for not welcoming you."
If he doesn't speak up, Dongfeng Country will be disgraced by these idiots.
Murong Li was so rude that he described his palace as a vegetable market. Although it did look like a vegetable market before, how could he allow a prince from another country to make sarcastic remarks like that?
He was determined to make sure these two people could not leave his Dongfeng Kingdom for daring to be so presumptuous.
Murong Li and the other man saw the expression of Emperor Dongfeng, but didn't take it to heart at all. They walked to the middle of the hall, and Murong Li even threw General Wu at his feet. Yes, he threw him, and the officials of Dongfeng were gritting their teeth at the sight.
But General Qi was defeated, and King Li publicly mocked the Dongfengtang Dynasty as a vegetable market. He must be a man with a sharp tongue. If they went up, they would probably only bring shame upon themselves.
Besides, their emperor has already spoken.
Murong Li then bowed and said, "Murong Li from the Western Phoenix Kingdom greets the Eastern Phoenix Emperor."
As soon as Murong Li finished his greetings, Su Yue immediately bowed and said, "Su Yue from the Western Phoenix Kingdom greets the Eastern Phoenix Emperor."
One of them was extremely noble, the other was stunningly beautiful. They stood in the center of the hall neither servile nor arrogant, looking at the dark-faced Emperor Dong Feng at the top.
The Emperor Dong Feng was about forty years old, handsome, and dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He exuded the majesty of an emperor. His captivating eyes swept over the two of them, then looked at General Wu at Murong Li's feet.
General Wu was hit by the acupoints and the immobilization acupoints, and he could only hum.
The emperor said sternly, "Please ask Prince Li to help General Wu with his teachings."
Murong Li waved his hand: "No hurry, this man killed countless soldiers of my West Phoenix, so it doesn't matter if he suffers this little bit. The East Phoenix Emperor doesn't need to feel bad. Let's talk about the matter of Qingniu Pass."
Emperor Dongfeng said solemnly, "Then I will listen to Prince Li's advice."
Murong Li sneered and said coldly, "A brilliant idea? Shouldn't the Emperor of Dongfeng give an explanation to the West Phoenix Nation? Your East Phoenix Nation secretly sent troops to invade our West Feng Qingniu Pass, killing over 80,000 of our West Feng soldiers and destroying the peace among the four nations. Can you really just settle this with a brilliant idea?"
The Emperor of Dongfeng was speechless after being blocked by Murong Li. The Dongfeng Kingdom had originally attacked the Xifeng Army privately, which indeed violated the agreement among the four countries.
The four countries agreed not to send troops to attack other countries without reason. If the violation is serious, other countries can attack it together. If the violation is minor, the country must apologize to the other party and make corresponding compensation. These are all clearly stipulated.
Emperor Dong Feng knew that he was in the wrong, but he could not give up his dignity as an emperor. How could he, the king of a country, apologize to a prince of the enemy country? Wouldn't that be ridiculous?
He took a deep breath, looked at the prince, and then glanced at the civil and military officials below, hoping that they would come out to resolve the deadlock.
The prince's eyes turned, and he came to Murong Li and the other two, and looked at Su Yue. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, what a beautiful woman. Then he bowed and said, "I am Qin Huaian, the prince of Dongfeng. The Qingniu Pass incident was not the private dispatch of troops as Prince Li said, but it happened for a reason.
Now both sides have suffered losses, King Li, why don't we sit down and have a good talk."
Murong Li looked at the prince who was as cold as jade. He had outstanding appearance, extraordinary temperament, and a calm and composed personality. He was a good opponent.
But he remembered the look he gave Yue'er just now, and no one should try to take advantage of her.
The prince was handsome, even more handsome than him, but he didn't take the weak prince seriously. Instead, he mocked him, "Oh, I don't know that there is a reason for this. I need to understand it better. Then please tell me, Prince, so that I can make a decision."
He said that he could make the decision himself, and did not have to ask for instructions or report to the Western Phoenix Emperor, which shows how powerful he is.
After hearing this, all the other civil and military officials looked at Murong Li. They never expected that Murong Li had absolute power in Xifeng Kingdom and could make decisions on behalf of the emperor.
And their prince...
The Crown Prince took a deep breath and said, "Of course, I am willing to serve you. However, you two have come a long way and must be exhausted. Why don't you rest first? We can talk about this another day. This will also show our hospitality as a host in the East Phoenix Kingdom."
Murong Li didn't buy his account at all. The first reason he came this time was to resolve the matter quickly, and the second was to find trouble. How could he let it go so easily after invading Xifeng Kingdom for no reason?
He said in a deep voice: "There's no need to go to such trouble. It's just a matter of a few words. There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border. Don't you want them anymore?
Although they are now captives of Xifeng, I am unwilling to keep hundreds of thousands of them in vain."
