Chapter 2768: Solved them, but the auspicious time was also missed
Wang Sheng said, "Yes. What are you going to do?"
The hall master smiled and said, "We heard that Lord Li was very happy today, so we came to congratulate him."
“…”
Wang Sheng's frown deepened.
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. It is certainly a good thing for people to come to congratulate on a happy day. Even if it is a beggar who says "congratulations", they will have to give money. But the problem is that the people sitting inside today are not ordinary people. Even the important officials in the court are not people that these people from the Earthly Immortals Association can easily approach.
What's more, there are His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine!
Li Bushang has repeatedly reminded that no accidents should happen today, and no strangers should be allowed in. If they are allowed to alarm the emperor, it would be a capital crime!
So Wang Sheng immediately said, "Everyone, all the guests for today's banquet at the Li Mansion have arrived, so we won't entertain you."
The hall master said with a smile, "Are all the guests here? The guests in your house are all officials, right?"
“…”
"We are not officials, so we can't go in and ask for a glass of wedding wine?"
“…”
"Do you feel that we in the Earthly Immortal Society are inferior to those officials in the imperial court?"
“…”
"But you have to know that although we in the Earthly Immortal Society are not officials, the good deeds we have done are far greater than those of officials. Go in and ask those officials among you. Each of them has thousands of acres of fertile land. Have they given any to those who have no land?"
“…”
"But we are different. We relieve the people's suffering and clear their thirst. So, don't we deserve to come to your Lord Li's house and say 'congratulations'?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "They look down on people!"
Suddenly, the people behind began to surge forward in anger, pushing the people in front towards the gate. Seeing this, Wang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly turned around and said to the security guards, "What are you standing there for? Come over here quickly!"
The guards immediately rushed forward.
They held their swords and knives and formed a group to block the people from the Earthly Immortal Society. When the people from the Earthly Immortal Society saw this, they were also furious and shouted, "What? You want to fight? Come on!"
Suddenly, people from both sides started pushing and shoving each other at the door.
For a moment, the crowd was so excited that they pushed Wang Sheng and the others into the corner near the door.
At this time, the people inside also heard the noise outside.
Originally, the servant ran in to report that Li Bushang's father-in-law had arrived. Everyone was very happy and was about to get up and go to the hall, but soon, someone else ran in and said, "Master, the people from the Earthly Immortal Society are causing trouble at the door!"
Earthly Immortal Society?!
These three words made Zhu Feng's face darken.
Nan Yan also frowned.
They had vaguely known before that people from the Earthly Immortals Society from all over the country were coming to the capital, saying that there was some big event. They were originally sending people to investigate, but they suddenly became quiet these days, as if nothing had happened.
But I didn't expect that I would come to Li Bushang's house today.
Are they here to cause trouble?
When Li Bushan heard this, he immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
The servant gasped and said, "They said they came to congratulate the master, but the housekeeper wouldn't let them in, so they started making a commotion at the door. Master, there are so many of them, the whole street is full!"
Although there are many guards in the Li Mansion, they are nothing compared to the large number of people in the Earthly Immortals Association.
More importantly, today is a happy day.
They also said that they came to congratulate, and if something happened, it would be unlucky.
Li Bushang thought about it and immediately said, "I'll go out and take a look."
He was about to leave immediately after saying this, but after taking two steps, he stopped, turned back, walked in front of Zhu Feng, and kowtowed to them, saying, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of disturbing Your Majesty. I will go out and deal with them immediately."
Zhu Feng glanced at him and said, "Is the auspicious time approaching?"
"yes."
“…”
"No matter what, I will deal with them first and will not let them disturb the emperor again."
Zhu Feng said, "By the time you deal with them, your auspicious time will have passed."
“…”
"Don't you understand what to do at this time?"
Li Bushang lowered his head.
Zhu Feng gave him a cold look, then turned his head and said to Xiao Shunzi beside him, "Send the word down and tell them to come in and congratulate you, but there's no room left. If they want to come in, they can only come in alone."
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi hurried down to pass on the message.
Nan Yan nodded slightly at Li Bushang.
The court would certainly not be afraid of confronting the other party head-on at this time, but today's happy event would be affected; moreover, letting the other party in alone would be a grace to them, and it would also allow them to observe what the other party's attitude was.
Soon, word spread.
After a while, the housekeeper Wang Sheng came in with a group of people.
Everyone immediately spotted the man in short clothes and colorful ribbons, who was obviously a member of the Earth Immortal Society. He was the hall master who brought people to congratulate. He walked in, looked around, and his eyes were immediately caught by the figure sitting in the crowd, as still as a mountain.
Although I had made a thorough plan before entering, for some reason, as soon as I approached, I felt an invisible pressure coming like an overwhelming tidal wave.
It was so strong that it suffocated his breathing.
That is the emperor.
The emperor is indeed not an ordinary person.
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead.
Zhu Feng gave the man a cold look.
Everyone thought that the emperor was going to make trouble, but after Zhu Feng glanced at him, he said nothing, as if this person didn't exist in front of him, and looked to the other side.
Next to Wang Sheng, there was a fat middle-aged man.
This man was also very cautious, probably because he had heard that the emperor and the imperial concubine were here. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look around when he came in. He had two rat-like whiskers and a big mole on his nose. He was sweating profusely and kept wiping it with the back of his hand.
Li Bushang walked forward and the people on both sides said a few words. He immediately bowed to the middle-aged man.
Then, he whispered two more words.
The middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head and followed them over to Zhu Feng, kowtowed and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhu Feng looked down at him: "You, are the head of the Xie family?"
"yes."
The head of the Xie family obviously did not expect that the emperor of Yan Kingdom would come in person to attend his daughter's wedding. He was frightened and did not dare to look directly at the emperor. He could only lower his head cautiously.
Zhu Feng looked at him for a while, then said, "The contribution of your Xie family to Bailong City's surrender this time is not small."
