Chapter 321: Booklet on Northern Li Officials
There was a subtle movement in Emperor Beili's eyes.
"We'll know whether it's effective or not after we try it on the battlefield in the future." A general at the table responded.
General Xiyan turned around and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is General Tan Ketan, the recent martial arts champion of Beili." said the Emperor of Beili.
"So you are a new military general. Would you like to have a competition to liven up the fun for everyone?" General Xiyan's eyes were very sharp. He could tell at a glance that Tan Ke was a good material.
Good seedlings must be strangled before they grow.
"The competition is..."
"Director Chen is here, General Xiang is here—" the little eunuch's sharp voice sounded.
Emperor Beili snorted. You still remember to come?
Everyone looked back.
General Xiyan glanced past Tan Ke and looked at the group of people walking into the hall.
Dean Chen led Ye Qianning into the palace, with Marquis Xiang Ming one step behind them, followed by Zhan Yi, Madam Zhan, and Zhan Chi, with Old Gu and Qian Fu walking side by side behind them.
The last ones to come in were Qian Fanji and Gu Shuo.
Ever since they entered the hall, they attracted everyone's attention. There were expressions of shock, confusion, ridicule, and all kinds of other things in their eyes.
Many people were puzzled. Everyone in Kyoto City knew that Xiang Minghou, Zhan Chi, Qian Fanji and Gu Shuo were not on good terms. Now they appeared together with injuries on their faces. They might have been involved in a fight.
Emperor Beili was also shocked when he saw these people. Either they looked pale or had bruised faces and noses. Where had they been?
The empress and other concubines were all very confused. Only the imperial concubine knew the reason and shook her head secretly. It seemed that the Zhan family and the Xiang family had not reached an agreement.
Thinking of the reason, the imperial concubine's gaze fell on Ye Qianning, and her eyes lit up slightly. She looked, indeed, very similar to her elder sister. No wonder her mother was so sure that the child was from the Zhan family.
Even she felt that he was a descendant of the Zhan family.
Ye Qianning noticed the gaze, but just glanced at it without further investigation.
"Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor." Xiang Minghou and his men knelt down to pay their respects.
Dean Chen pulled Ye Qianning and just leaned over.
"My dear, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A group of people stood up.
"Can anyone tell me why you came so late and what happened?" asked Emperor Beili.
"Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, I encountered a group of assassins in black. Judging from their attire and methods, they were from the famous Shadow Organization in the martial arts world. They threatened to find a booklet." Qian Fanji stepped forward and narrated.
As soon as these words were spoken, some people in the hall began to panic, and the Dongyi envoy tightened his grip on the cup.
"What booklet?" Emperor Beili was puzzled.
"I only know that it is a booklet about the officials of the Northern Li Dynasty, but I am not very clear about the details."
"Is this about the booklet concerning the officials of the Northern Li court? I want to see who has the audacity to reach out to the court." The Northern Li Emperor said in a stern voice, "Come here, check it out. Be sure to bring the booklet back. I want to personally review it."
"yes."
I only hear the voice but don't see the person.
The Emperor's Secret Guards rarely appear in public except in front of the Emperor.
General Xiyan was concentrating so hard that he didn't notice the movements of the secret guards. The internal strength of the emperor's secret guards was probably no worse than his.
Many court officials became nervous. If the emperor got the edict, many people would be in trouble.
The eyes of the Dongyi envoy moved secretly. The Emperor of Beili had intervened, and things were a little tricky. Qian Fanji deliberately brought up this matter, and he must know the contents of the booklet, or the booklet was in his hands.
Was it his people who did the action outside Sifang Town?
Emperor Beili looked at Xiang Minghou and his men again: "What about you? Why are you so late?"
