Chapter 3478 Meeting
Hearing her charming voice, Li Wu Yu wished he could melt into her body, but now that he was already at this place, with hundreds of thousands of eyes staring at him outside, he had no choice but to go.
He could only linger with Hu Meir for a while, reluctantly, before saying, "I'll be back soon."
After he finished speaking, he gave an order, and the eunuchs on both sides immediately lifted the curtains. Although the people outside did not dare to look up, they could imagine the spring scene inside the carriage. Li Wu Yu walked out, but was almost dazzled by the sunlight. In addition, he was weak, so he swayed while standing on the carriage. Xiahou Jiu was frightened and quickly reached out to support him.
Li Wuyu then said, "Alright, alright, go earlier and come back earlier."
Xiahou Jiu said, "Yes."
With a sullen face, he had Li Wuyu helped down from the carriage. For today, Li Wuyu had donned formal attire, something he hadn't worn in ages. However, he had lost a lot more weight than before. While the attire was a replica of the Yan Emperor's dragon robe, on him, he looked even less energetic than the Yan Emperor who had just stepped down from the carriage. Furthermore, he was dark, thin, and listless, giving him the appearance of a monkey in human form.
Xiahou Jiu thought that it was a good thing that he had asked people to prepare in advance, and had the accompanying officials, palace maids, eunuchs, and even himself as a military general, change into luxurious silk. They looked more than twice as wealthy as the troops brought by the Emperor of Yan State, and he was able to save some face.
He said, "Your Majesty, please."
At this moment, drum music suddenly began to play around.
Li Wu Yu was startled again.
Although he often heard drum music in the palace, it was mostly gentle and soothing music. He had almost never heard such grand and passionate music. Now, suddenly hearing such a tone, it was like hearing the roar of a tiger. He shuddered and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiahou Jiu said, "Your Majesty, it's alright. This is the ritual music arranged by the Yan Kingdom."
Li Wuyu frowned and said, "What a crap thing! They, Yan State, call themselves a country of ritual and music, but this sound sounds like thunder."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Chen Wenxiao, who was standing by, whispered, "Your Majesty, you should go up first. The Emperor of Yan has already arrived."
Li Wu Yu raised his hand to block the sunlight and looked up. Sure enough, Zhu Feng had already climbed onto the platform. The sunlight was not only dazzling, but it was even a little hot in the wilderness without any shade. He was sweating profusely in a short while and had no choice but to get off the car quickly.
At this time, Chen Wenxiong also helped Chen Biri get off the carriage at the back tremblingly.
Xiahou Jiu glanced back and said coldly, "Master Chen, at this time, you don't need to go up, right?"
Chen Bi Ri said, "Why can't I do that?"
Xiahou Jiu sneered and said, "Master Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I feel that Master Chen is so sickly right now. If I go to him, it would be a disgrace to the state. It would be better for him to wait downstairs."
Chen Biri's gaze slashed across Xiahou Jiu's face like a knife, and he said coldly, "Disgraceful to the state? This old minister actually thinks that some people, for the sake of their own 'merits', grovel and fawn like a broken-backed dog before the people of Yan, begging for mercy for that tiny profit each year. That is truly disgraceful to the state."
"you--"
When Xiahou Jiu heard this, his eyebrows raised, but this was not the time for them to argue, so he could only snort coldly, turn around and follow Li Wu Yu up.
Chen Biri also went there with the support of his two nephews.
After a while, the Yue people also climbed onto the platform.
When they walked up, Zhu Feng was standing on the south side of the platform with his hands behind his back, overlooking the scenery ahead.
Although there are one or two mountains in Yongzhou City, the terrain of the entire city is relatively flat. However, after leaving the city and crossing the border line, it is like a different world. Countless mountains in front of you, like a screen that suddenly stands up, blocking your view. The mountains are stacked up one after another, and mist is diffused between the peaks. It looks like a well-arranged landscape painting.
It is beautiful, but it hides countless murderous intentions.
The State of Yue was very small and its troops were not elite, but because of this terrain, it had long been like a scabies under the feet of the State of Yan, which could not be destroyed and could not be defeated.
Echoing the past ten years, Zhu Feng's mind had drifted to the farthest place, to the mountains that were covered by fog and had only a faint outline left.
At this time, Cui Yuanmei behind him said softly: "Your Majesty, the people have arrived."
Zhu Feng then regained his mind that had drifted thousands of miles away, slowly turned around, and saw several people climbing onto the platform one after another.
The one walking in front is naturally Li Wu Yu.
This was his first time meeting the King of Yue. Although he had heard countless reports of his absurdity, he had never seen him in person until now. As expected, he was a short, dark-skinned young man. Although he had transported large quantities of food to Yue every year, keeping the people there plump and white, the word "deficit" was clearly written on his face.
The person next to him was naturally Xiahou Jiu.
Zhu Feng had fought with him many years ago, so there was no need to mention it much. However, this man looked ferocious because he was missing an eye. Perhaps because he revisited the old place and remembered how he lost his eye, his face became even more ferocious.
Zhu Feng just glanced at him and then looked behind the two men.
The man who was being supported by someone and looked out of breath, as if he was about to die at any moment, was naturally Chen Biri. Although he acted like that, Zhu Feng took a look at him and then turned his gaze away indifferently.
Not to that extent.
However, the two young men beside him looked similar and were brothers. They should be the two nephews of Chen Biri, Chen Wenxiao and Chen Wenxiong, who had been mentioned countless times in previous memorials.
Both of them were wearing soft armor, and they exuded the toughness of someone who had fought in the army.
only--
One of them had a much deeper aura.
He glanced towards Zhu Feng and immediately lowered his head, his flickering eyes seeming to hide something.
Zhu Feng silently took everything in, and then looked at the person gradually approaching in front of him. He slowly sat down at the table on his side, and Li Wu Yu also walked over and sat down opposite him.
After everyone sat down, the platform suddenly became quiet.
It’s not that no one is willing to speak, but at this moment, everyone is caught in a delicate confrontation. After all, everyone came here with a purpose, and when they suddenly met like this, everyone had to think about what to say and what they could say at this moment.
