As his thoughts flashed, Lei Mengsha said again:
"Even if His Majesty wants to punish the old man, who can punish him?"
Xiao Ruofeng also sighed deeply: "Alas... those were all trivial matters before, but this time it's really serious!"
Wen Yanzhao picked up the cold tea and drank it all, then asked with twinkling eyes:
"Then according to my brother, if you were the current emperor, how would you deal with Mr. Li?"
Xiao Ruofeng was startled when he heard this, and tightly grasped the teacup in his hand. After a long while, he only uttered one sentence:
"Now that you've asked me this, I can finally understand my father's state of mind..."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
As soon as he turned around, he heard a eunuch with a shrill voice shouting:
"No one who has nothing to do with Jixia Academy should stay away! His Majesty has issued an order, Wen Yanzhao kneels to receive it~"
Before the shrill voice had completely faded away, a group of people walked in from outside the courtyard, led by a beardless man wearing a ceremonial crown and a purple cloak.
Xiao Ruofeng naturally recognized him. This person was Zhuosen, one of the five great supervisors.
When Zhuosen saw Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha were both there, he bowed to Xiao Ruofeng and said:
"Since Prince Langya is here too, let's listen to the decree together!"
Xiao Ruofeng nodded slightly, then winked at Lei Mengsha
Lei Mengsha quickly got down from the stone bench and half-knelt on the ground. Only Wen Yanzhao sat upright on the stone bench and looked directly at the group of people coming in.
"Wen Yanzhao, His Majesty has issued an order, why don't you kneel to receive it?" Seeing Wen Yanzhao's lack of courtesy, Zhuo Sen, the leader, shouted in a low voice.
Xiao Ruofeng stood up, tugged at Wen Yanzhao's clothes and whispered, "My brother, don't just stand there, kneel down and accept my order!"
Wen Yanzhao looked at Zhuo Sen, who had a bad face, and was a little angry. He cursed him in his heart, "You dead eunuch", and had to kneel down reluctantly.
Zhuo Sen saw several people half-kneeling on the ground. He took the imperial edict from the eunuch behind him and read it out:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
"Your Majesty's decree—"
"Wen Yanzhao, the grandson of the Lingnan Wen family, killed the lawless remnants of Beique in Qiandong City, and then cleansed the evil in Tianqi City, beheading the two Beique demons Zhuge Wucai and Zhuge Wucheng!"
"I admire Wen Yanzhao's contribution to the fight against bandits. He is loyal, brave and diligent. He is truly a pillar of the country!"
"Therefore, I have specially appointed Wen Yanzhao as the director of Jixia Academy, to assist the academy's chief priest and to take charge of all matters! To honor Wen Yanzhao's achievements, I have granted him a royal residence in the east of Tianqi City, a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of brocade!"
"I hope he will be loyal to his duties and serve the country faithfully in the future! I decree this~"
As Zhuo Sen finished reading the imperial edict, Wen Yanzhao's heart began to beat.
First, I don't know what the current emperor is thinking. I killed the two not for the sake of Beili's stability. Although this merit should be rewarded,
But the appointment of officials and the rewards are too generous.
Secondly, he is now the sworn brother of Langya King Xiao Ruofeng. By doing this, isn’t Emperor Tai’an making it clear that he treats Langya King with favor?
All this happened a little suddenly, and Emperor Tai'an's coaxing and control were also a little deliberate.
Wen Yanzhao sneered in his heart:
"It's nothing more than seeing that I'm now extremely powerful, and wanting to win me over by using both kindness and force..."
"If I really support Xiao Ruofeng to ascend to the throne in the future, I hope he won't disappoint those who support him!"
Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then he stood up and said perfunctorily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" and reached out to take the imperial edict.
Zhuosen handed the imperial edict to Wen Yanzhao and whispered in his ear:
"Young Master Wen is young and promising. He will surely be a pillar of the court in the future. I hope you will not let His Majesty down!"
Wen Yanzhao glanced at Zhuo Sen and said with a smile:
"Please ask the eunuch to go back and tell His Majesty that Wen Yanzhao is just a commoner from Lingnan, a wanderer who is obsessed with the world and loves the world."
"I really don't have the talent to be an official. I'm afraid I won't be able to do well as the school supervisor and cause trouble for His Majesty!"
When Zhuo Sen heard this, he said with a fake smile:
"That's fine. You can learn more from Prince Langya and Mr. Li. How can someone be an official since they are born?"
Wen Yanzhao looked at Xiao Ruofeng after hearing this, then turned around and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. Wen Yanzhao will certainly follow your instructions!"
Zhuo Sen didn't comment after hearing this, his eyelids drooping heavily. He was ready to give him a warning before leaving, so he said condescendingly:
"However, before I leave, I still want to remind you, don't forget that there are always people better than you."
"In Tianqi City, there are more than one expert who can surpass you, not counting Mr. Li!"
After saying this, a burst of fierce Qi suddenly burst out from Zhuo Sen's body.
The purple cloak on his body rustled, and the young eunuchs standing behind him were also shocked by the true energy and retreated one after another.
Xiao Ruofeng's face changed when he saw this. He was about to speak when Lei Mengsha raised his hand to stop him.
Lei Mengsha whispered:
"Seventh Brother, you don't know their style of doing things? Wen Yanzhao is new here, and he's also your sworn brother!"
"Naturally, several eunuchs in the court are unhappy with him. Although Zhuo Sen is a master of the Heaven Realm, facing Wen Yanzhao now, I'm afraid he can't withstand even half a move!"
After listening to Lei Mengsha's words, Xiao Ruofeng nodded and stood behind him, watching silently.
Before Zhuo Sen set out, Zhuo Qing was specifically ordered to give Wen Yanzhao a warning so that he would take back his prestige.
Therefore, this behavior will occur only after the decree is announced.
Wen Yanzhao didn't even look at it, but just said contemptuously:
"Below my realm, I can kill anyone with just one sword!"
As the word "kill" came out, Wen Yanzhao's pupils instantly turned emerald green, and a tremendous sword intent gushed out!
Wen Yanzhao moved his right index finger slightly, and Zhuosen's long ceremonial crown was instantly shattered by the invisible sword energy, and his black hair scattered!
Zhuosen fell backwards instantly, all his aura gone, his eyes filled with fear, as if the young man in front of him could kill him with just a wave of his hand!
"Wen Yanzhao, you... you dare..."
Zhuosen was supported by several young eunuchs behind him, his mouth trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence!
Wen Yanzhao smiled slightly, raised his hand and released his inner strength, pulling Zhuo Sen in front of him, then said sternly:
"What? Grand Supervisor Zhuo Sen can't even utter a complete sentence? You are only at the Great Free and Easy Realm. With this little strength, you dare to show off in front of me?"
"You are so unrestrained in front of the King of Langya? Aren't you afraid that I will follow the King of Langya into the palace and report to His Majesty?!"
When Zhuo Sen heard this, he lost his momentum and stood still, growling at the trembling eunuchs around him: "Go!"
The group followed the disheveled Zhuo Sen and left the school.
"Master Zhuomori, please remember to change to a better quality ceremonial crown later. Goodbye~"
Wen Yanzhao put his hands on his waist and said something sarcastic to Zhuo Sen's receding figure.
……
(It still has the same number of words as two chapters, which is equivalent to adding more chapters~)
Chapter 97: A Word of Advice Awakens the Dreamer
Looking at Zhuosen's departing back, Xiao Ruofeng was a little worried.
Even though Wen Yanzhao was already a top expert at the Half-Step Divine Wandering, doing this was somewhat disrespectful of the Beili court.
And I became his sworn brother, so I will definitely be blamed by my father in the future.
Wen Yanzhao seemed to see through his state of mind. He sat back at the stone table and poured two cups of tea for Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha:
"Brother, are you worried that His Majesty will be angry with me because of this?"
Xiao Ruofeng hesitated to speak, Wen Yanzhao said in a relaxed tone:
"You two just saw it. Zhuo Sen is ignorant of his own limitations and wants to show off his power to me... Besides, this must be instigated by the people behind him."
"The person behind me, I don't need to tell you, I'm sure you should know, it's Zhuo Qing, the head of the five great supervisors of the dynasty."
Xiao Ruofeng nodded and took the teacup:
"Zhuoqing has followed his father since he was young and is deeply trusted. Now that you treat his subordinates like this, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction."
"If he goes to the emperor and makes some slanderous remarks, it will not be of any benefit to you or me."
At this time, Lei Mengsha suddenly smiled and said:
"If the current emperor has a grudge against his most beloved prince because of this slanderous statement, I think you, Old Seven, should also consider who will take over the throne in the future..."
Before Lei Mengsha could finish, Xiao Ruofeng's face suddenly turned serious and his voice became extremely serious.
"Second Brother, stop talking nonsense! Just pretend I didn't hear anything like that and never say it again!"
"The change of imperial power is not something you should interfere with..."
Wen Yanzhao raised his hand and stopped Xiao Ruofeng from saying anything else with a serious look:
"I think what Brother Lei said is absolutely right! Brother, are you still unclear about Zhuoqing's thoughts?"
"He is on the side of the Green King. Besides targeting me, isn't this also aimed at you?"
"Among all the princes now, who is the most virtuous? Who is the most despicable? Isn't this obvious?"
Xiao Ruofeng's face became more serious, but he still listened to Wen Yanzhao's words quietly.
Wen Yanzhao glanced at Lei Mengsha, who also had a worried look on his face, and continued:
"Since you acknowledge me as your brother, I won't hide it... As the saying goes, people in the martial arts world are not free to do what they want. You, Xiao Ruofeng, were born in an imperial family, so you are even more helpless!"
"Don't dream of getting away unscathed. If that weak-willed wretch ascends to the throne, not only will everyone around you be purged, but I don't think you'll be able to stay as the King of Langya for long!"
"I, Wen Yanzhao, am fearless. Looking around the world, there are no more than three people who can kill me. If it really comes to a fight to the death, I don't mind taking a city or a country with me!"
