Chapter 958
Huo Yue smiled and said, "Anyway, the lives of my whole family depend on Your Majesty's word."
The emperor slammed his teacup down on the table.
The tea in the teacup spilled out, wetting the area.
"Why!
Shouldn't you be filled with trepidation, fearing that I will take back your military power and bring further harm to your family?
Or perhaps you've become so powerful that you've shown disrespect to me that I dare not lay a hand on you!
What's with your reaction? You actually have the mind to drink tea?!
The emperor roared, his face full of bewilderment.
Huo Yue took another sip: "Your Majesty, shall I summon an imperial physician for you?"
emperor:......
What kind of mess is this?!
Looking at Huo Yue, who was sitting so improperly, the emperor sighed heavily: "Alright, so what do you think about this matter?"
"What can I think? I'll just say whatever Your Majesty thinks," Huo Yue replied, still maintaining his nonchalant attitude.
At this moment, probably no one would dare to recognize that this is a fierce general who fought on the battlefield.
He's more like a hothead.
A vein bulged on the emperor's forehead: "I want you to hand over the Tiger Tally. Are you willing?"
Huo Yue looked up at him.
The emperor stared at him intently, his eyes devoid of any smile.
It doesn't seem like he's joking.
In an instant, the previously relaxed atmosphere froze.
The next moment, Huo Yue reached into his robes and pulled something out.
With a clang, the thing was thrown onto the table.
Huo Yue then started cracking sunflower seeds: "Here, I brought them with me."
The tiger tally was cast in bronze with inlaid gold inscriptions. The clasp was unique, so the emperor did not need to retrieve the other half of the tiger tally to know that the tiger tally was genuine.
The emperor's gaze remained fixed on it for a long time.
He was filled with mixed emotions.
As a result, the sound of someone cracking sunflower seeds kept ringing in his ears, which was so unpleasant that it ruined the emperor's mood.
The emperor took a deep breath: "Such an important thing, you just casually carry it on your person?"
“I didn’t just carry it around; I brought it with me before I left,” Huo Yue spat out the sunflower seed shells in his mouth. “So all this fighting over is just about a tiger tally, right? I’ll have to hand it over sooner or later. Rather than making a scene and dragging my whole family down a dead end, it’s better to hand it over now, right?”
The emperor sighed again.
He never imagined that after so many years, he and Huo Yue would have a day when they could open their hearts to each other again.
In fact, everything in this world is fine as long as you talk things out. Misunderstandings only arise from not being able to communicate clearly.
However, the greater one's position and authority, the more difficult it is to speak up.
Someone like Huo Yue is extremely rare.
"Wei Yue, I'll just ask you one question: do you remember what we said when we drank together two nights before you went to Yunnan?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Huo Yue spoke up: "To repel external threats and pacify the internal strife, we shall jointly protect our empire."
After saying that, Huo Yue sighed: "That night feels like it happened just yesterday."
The emperor smiled silently, picked up the tiger tally, and tossed it to him: "Alright, take it."
Now, Huo Yue was speechless.
The emperor raised an eyebrow: "When you threw the tiger tally at me just now, weren't you betting that I wouldn't do anything to your family?"
