At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in from outside and whispered a few words into the Emperor's ear.
The Emperor, who had been sitting calmly, suddenly had a change of expression. He cried out involuntarily, "What?"
It was obviously not a small matter for the Emperor to lose his composure.
Xu Zhongliang, Fang Mingtong, Xia Jing, and the other important officials all looked at the Emperor.
At this moment, Fan Wudi had also brought Long Qiushui with him, accompanied by a maid who was serving wine. They walked over to the Emperor and were ready to start the toast. Seeing the Emperor lose his composure, Fan Wudi's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty … I'm here to toast you!" Fan Wudi had been in the army all his life, so he was actually very unfamiliar with the ways of the world. However, he was a martial artist, so he was quite sensitive to things like aura!
He could clearly feel the shock and disappointment that the Emperor revealed at that moment!
He then thought of what his grandson had told Chu Yan before he left.
Fan Wudi instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his grandson's crisis … should have been over!
The Emperor raised his head and looked at Fan Wudi. He suddenly had a feeling that the person in front of him … was Fan Wudi, but he seemed to be ten years younger, with a face full of smiles and a body full of joy.
The Emperor's mood instantly became very complicated. He picked up a glass of wine, and although he sat there without moving, he said with a smile, "Old General, you've worked hard and done a great service. Now that you finally have a family, I wish that you can live together to a ripe old age. I'll drink this glass of wine!"
As the Emperor spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.
Fan Wudi was slightly stunned, and then his face showed that he was moved. He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then asked the maid beside him to pour two more glasses. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'll drink three glasses in a row to thank Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Fan Wudi drank two more glasses in a row.
The people at the side were a little dumbfounded.
Whether Fan Wudi drank three glasses or thirty glasses, they would not be surprised. Because in this life, besides being good at fighting, the old general was also good at drinking.
What shocked everyone was the Emperor!
As the monarch of a country, the Emperor's presence on such an occasion was already a great honor. Now, he even took the initiative to drink a glass of wine …
Could it be that the rumor of the imperial family suppressing Fan Wudi and Chu Mo and his grandson was nonsense?
Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong couldn't help but look at each other and see the shock in each other's eyes.
Prince Xia Jing, who was standing to the side, was equally shocked. He looked at his brother in disbelief. His intuition told him that it had a lot to do with what that person had said to his brother.
Xia Jing's guess was right. That person just now was one of the Emperor's personal guards. He was in his thirties, and his strength had already reached the Iron Blood realm!
At the same time, he was also a true proud son of heaven!
Xia Jing knew this person. He had once consulted his mansion's High Priest, Mister Yuchi, about martial arts.
The guard told the emperor what had just happened.
Although he couldn't explain it in detail, he had pointed out a few key points!
Vermillion Bird, Ninth Tier Meta Beast, Tantai, Yuchi, Misty Palace disciples … the Heavenly Rapier Sect had lost two elders … and left Yan Huang City in a sorry state!
The Emperor wasn't surprised that Tantai and Yuchi had appeared there. If they hadn't, the Emperor would have been surprised.
After all, they all owed Chu Mo a favor. It was only reasonable that they should go and take a look.
But these two people, in the secular world, could summon the wind and rain, and had a status that ordinary people couldn't imagine. But in the eyes of the upper echelons of the big sects, they were nothing!
Even if Mister Tantai had taken that step and entered the Enlightened Mind Realm … then, he was just a powerful person!
Although there weren't many of them in the big sects, there were definitely quite a few of them.
Therefore, the Emperor didn't care what they would do at all. He also believed that Tantai and Yuchi would choose to protect themselves.
But the problem was … Vermillion Bird!
In this Yan Huang City, such a legendary mythical beast had actually appeared!
And where did the Ninth Tier Meta Beast come from?
As the ruler of a country, the Emperor also had doubts about whether the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise had existed before.
He believed that even if these mythical beasts had once existed in this world, they had long left.
Who would have thought that today, right under his eyes, a legendary Vermillion Bird would really appear.
No one saw how it had come, but when this Vermillion Bird left, it spread its burning wings, squeezed through the void, and flew straight into the nine heavens. This scene was seen by countless people in Yan Huang City.
This matter couldn't be faked at all!
And that Ninth Tier Meta Beast, although it couldn't be compared to the legendary mythical beasts, but it was already the most elite creature in the entire Four Symbols Continent!
How could they both appear beside Chu Mo at the same time? Helping Chu Mo?
Could it be that Chu Mo's master was really that amazing? After leaving … he also left behind a protector that could protect himself for his disciple?
The Emperor's heart was thumping hard at this moment.
Therefore, he had to drink this cup of wine from Fan Wudi!
With Fan Wudi holding Chu Mo back, no matter what Chu Mo did, he would have to think twice!
This thought instantly formed in the Emperor's heart, and then … it grew stronger and stronger. He watched Fan Wudi drink three cups of wine in a row and smiled. "Old General, you are still strong despite your age. Your majesty is no less than before!"
Fan Wudi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "This old subject is old. From now on, this old subject will peacefully plant flowers and grass at home, and cultivate my character!"
These words made many people's eyelids twitch. Their gazes towards Fan Wudi were also full of respect.
Although the Emperor had given Fan Wudi sufficient status, it was equivalent to directly taking away the military power that Fan Wudi had worked hard for his entire life. Speaking of which, this was unfair to this old general.
But look at this old general. How noble and upright he was!
Although he had suffered unfair treatment, he had calmly declared to the Emperor that he would plant flowers and grass at home from now on. In other words, he was preparing to retire!
The Emperor raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry. "That won't do! General Fan is in his prime and is serving the country. How can he go home to retire? If you want to slack off, I won't allow it! Let's make it clear that I will only give you a month's vacation so that you can enjoy your newlywed life. Otherwise, people will say that I am unreasonable. Hahaha. "
The Emperor laughed heartily and said, "In a month's time, you will report back to the military headquarters! When that time comes, there will be many important decisions that you will need to make personally! "
Everyone in the banquet hall was dumbfounded as they watched this scene. They could not believe their ears and eyes. They were all screaming in their hearts, 'What is going on?'
Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong's eyes met. Fang Mingtong's lips moved slightly. Although he did not make a sound, Xu Zhongliang understood.
Something had happened!
