"Master Sun, Master Sun...Sun..." Li An hurriedly went to help him, but as soon as he bent his body, his head hit the ground and he fell down.
Chen Rongzheng and Wang Changshan were both frightened and felt dizzy for a moment. Thinking of the tea they had just had, they all looked at Xuan Qirui. Before they could say anything, their eyes rolled back and they fainted.
"Oh, what's going on, sir, sir..." The butler screamed, flustered and didn't know which one to help first.
Xuan Qirui's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. It was not known whether it was because of shock or the effect of the medicine. After tremblingly squeezing out the three words "find a doctor", he fainted.
The housekeeper, who had been busy just now, saw the last person fall down. The panic on his face disappeared instantly. He stood up, gently adjusted the hem of his clothes, and sneered.
"What should we do with these people, the housekeeper?" The servant came forward.
"Send them all to the clinic, and have someone notify each government office to pick them up."
"Just let them go back like that?"
"It's hard to explain why the officials in the court killed them. The Marquis said to let them fight each other." The butler raised his foot and kicked Li An. "Old sly man, you will have to pay for the money you embezzled sooner or later."
"yes."

Northern Li Palace
Emperor Beili, Sang Rui, and several officials who worked with Sang Rui were discussing the organization of the martial arts competition when a young eunuch came in and reported that the envoys from Xiyan and Nanyuan had entered the city and gone to the Xiang family.
The hall fell silent, and Emperor Beili's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
Everyone present could see the change in the emperor. They lowered their eyes secretly and dared not say much. The atmosphere in the palace was tense and depressing.
Emperor Beili tightened his grip on the layout diagram, causing wrinkles to form on the diagram in his hand.
The officials below sensed the Northern Li Emperor's anger, rolled their eyes, and said indignantly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Xiyan went to the Xiang family in person. This shows that Marquis Xiang Ming must have defected to Xiyan over the years."
"Lord Qi is right. The emperor and the Xiang family have gathered people from the four countries under the Penglai Fairy Mountain. Their intentions are not pure. Xiyan and the Xiang family have a close relationship, so we have to be on guard." Another official bowed.
"Your Majesty, the Xiang family has been acting very arrogantly since entering Beili. They must be taught a lesson." The official on the left followed closely.
Emperor Beili looked unhappy. He listened to the angry words of the officials without saying a word. His eyes were drooping and dark.
He knew that Xi Yan's intentions were impure, so how should he punish him?
Not to mention the people in the martial arts world, if Beili attacks the Xiang family at this time, Xiyan will never stand idly by. Beili is no match for Xiyan.
Even if Prince Xiyan entered Beili, it would not be easy for them to kill him.
The last thing Emperor Beili wanted to offend was Xiyan.
When Xi Fengying escaped, although the secret guards did not find any trace of him, Emperor Beili knew in his heart that it was Xi Yan's doing. After the Xi Yan envoy left, Emperor Beili was in panic and kept an eye on Xi Yan's movements all the time.
Several years passed and there was still no movement in Xiyan. The people stationed in Xiyan did not find any trace of Xifengying. The quieter it was, the more uneasy Emperor Beili became.
When the officials saw that Emperor Beili was silent for a long time, they couldn't help but panic and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
In the silence, Sang Rui stood up, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Father, I am willing to visit the Xiang family on your behalf."
Emperor Beili raised his eyes with scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, the Xiang family has sent invitations to all the dignitaries in the capital, and the people of Jianghu are also very fond of the Xiang family banquet. Xiyan and Nanyuan have both gone. If no one from Beili goes, I am afraid that people will look down on us and think that our dynasty is narrow-minded. I am willing to share your worries and go to explore the Xiang family's intentions." Sang Rui spoke sincerely, looking at the Emperor of Beili with a firm gaze. (End of this chapter)
