Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the entrance. He was dressed splendidly but was covered in dust. He stood tall and straight, had a handsome appearance, but his eyes were cold and his face was filled with anger … He was carrying a person in his left hand and a shining long saber in his right hand.
"Assistant Minister of Works Zhao Yi, get out here!" Chu Mo's angry shout reverberated throughout the banquet hall.
Some people who did not see what was going on and were happily chatting with each other were frightened by Chu Mo's shout and looked towards the entrance.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Yi, who was gathered with the Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince, was also stunned by Chu Mo's thunderous voice. He couldn't help but shiver as he looked toward the door. After seeing Chu Mo, he was first startled, but when he saw the person in Chu Mo's hand, his expression immediately changed.
The Third Prince, Xia Hao, frowned and shouted angrily from afar, "Who is this little thing? How did you sneak in here? How rude, don't you know where you are?! "
This shout was like muffled thunder, exploding in the banquet hall. It was so piercing that many people covered their ears.
"Assistant Minister of Works Zhao Yi! Get out here! " Chu Mo did not pay any attention to the Third Prince, Xia Hao. Instead, he shouted angrily again in a cold tone, "You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? Get out here! "
As he spoke, Chu Mo grabbed the Yuan Gate martial artist's collar and lifted him up. Then, he stabbed Shi Tian into the ground. The incomparably hard golden brick was like tofu in front of Shi Tian, directly piercing through it.
Pa!
Chu Mo raised his hand and slapped the person in his hand, waking him up. He did not give him any time to react. Coldly, he asked, "Speak, who sent you to harm me?"
"Childe Chu … Childe Chu … It has nothing to do with me. It was Assistant Minister of Works Zhao Yi, Lord Zhao, who sent me … I don't know anything!" This Origin Gate cultivator had been woken up by Chu Mo's slap, so he had no idea where he was. He thought that he was still in the desolate alleyway, so he immediately shouted.
Buzz!
At this moment, thousands of people had gathered in the Royal Banquet Hall.
The Yuan Guan Realm cultivator's voice was loud and clear, and the words he blurted out stunned everyone. Then, they all looked at the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Yi, who was standing beside the Crown Prince.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Yi, was in his forties. He was dressed in splendid attire, looking elegant and scholarly. At this moment, his face was flushed and sweat was about to drip from his forehead. With a twisted expression, he said angrily, "Slander! This is simply slander! "
At this time, the Yuan Guan martial artist in Chu Mo's hands heard Zhao Yi's voice and loudly said, "It's him, Young Master Chu … he's Zhao Yi … he sent me!"
"Bullshit!" Zhao Yi's neck had turned red. Feeling the gazes focused on him from all directions, he felt dizzy. When had he ever experienced something like this?
At this time, the Third Prince, Xia Hao, strode towards Chu Mo and shouted Coldly, "This is the Royal New Year's Banquet, where did you come from? You dare to cause trouble here? Are all the guards dead? Why haven't you taken him down yet?! "
The guards who had gathered at the entrance heard the commotion, and upon hearing the Third Prince's order, their spirits were instantly shaken and they surrounded Chu Mo.
"I'll see who dares!" Chu Mo shouted loudly and waved the invitation in his hand, "I came in openly with an invitation! What right do you have to arrest me? Get lost! "
When the guards saw the invitation in Chu Mo's hand, they immediately revealed hesitant expressions.
The Third Prince, Xia Hao, sneered and ridiculed, "What a fine 'came in openly with an invitation'. You're just a teenager, yet you're holding an invitation that only a second-ranked official can have. Little bastard, what do you think the Royal Banquet Hall is? Do you think that everyone … is as brainless as you? Holding a fake invitation … and you still dare to openly come to this kind of place? "
As he spoke, Xia Hao shouted at the group of guards, "Take him down!"
"Wait." An indifferent voice came from outside. Then, a person strolled in and stood beside Chu Mo. He looked around, and his gaze finally fell on Xia Hao, "How does the Third Prince know that this invitation is fake?"
"Xu … Grand Secretary Xu?" The corner of Xia Hao's mouth twitched, and his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.
At the side, the Crown Prince and the others could no longer watch the show. No one had expected that the current Grand Secretary, who was supposed to only appear near the end, would actually appear at this time, and … he was actually endorsing for a teenager!
This was too abnormal!
Many people's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. The gaze that looked at Chu Mo also became solemn.
If no important person appeared, then, this was very likely to be just a farce. But Xu Zhongliang's appearance caused the hearts of the people present to tremble slightly. The current Grand Secretary personally came out to endorse a teenager … there must be a great mystery behind this matter!
Many people cast their gazes towards the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Yi, who was beside the Crown Prince. They saw that this assistant minister's face was already incomparably pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Could it be? The person in the teenager's hands … was really related to Zhao Yi?
Looking again at the Crown Prince beside Zhao Yi, who also had a grim expression, the hearts of many people … all trembled fiercely.
This matter … was not normal!
"Lord Grand Secretary … do you know this teenager?" At this moment, Xia Hao also came back to his senses, bowed towards Xu Zhongliang, and then said somewhat ambiguously, "How do you know … that this invitation is real?"
"That's because I was the one who sent this invitation!" A voice full of energy came from outside. Then, a tall figure walked in with a majestic gait, and stood beside Chu Mo, "Your Highness the Third Prince, what else do you want to ask?"
The entire Royal Banquet Hall was dead silent, even the drop of a needle could be heard!
In the whole of Da Xia, apart from the Emperor, there was probably only one person who dared to call himself 'me' in front of a prince!
The Grand Marshal, Fang Mingtong!
Inside the Royal Banquet Hall, everyone was staring in the direction of the door with their mouths agape, almost all of them had lost the ability to think.
What situation was this?
In the whole of Da Xia, apart from the Emperor, the two most powerful people, one civil and one military, had actually appeared here at the same time … to stand up for a teenager who would only be fourteen years old in a few hours!
If they hadn't seen this with their own eyes, absolutely no one would have believed it to be true.
At least at this moment, the Third Prince, Xia Hao, was scared stiff. The corner of his mouth twitched, and his face was full of disbelief as he looked at Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong, actually speechless.
It was true that he was an incomparably noble prince, but it didn't matter who he was compared to! After all, a prince was not an Emperor. Even the Crown Prince … did not dare to be presumptuous in front of these two people!
On the other side, the Crown Prince was also stunned. The middle-aged Xia Ying frowned slightly, a complicated light flashing in his eyes. Next to him, the Second Prince, Xia Xiong, had a thoughtful expression on his face. Similarly, his eyes were also shining with disbelief.
In the eyes of the Crown Prince, Xia Ying, and the Second Prince, Xia Xiong, Xu Zhongliang was standing up for Chu Mo, perhaps because of the relationship between the two families. It was understandable that the Grand Secretary would want to protect this junior. Even the most important person would inevitably have selfish motives.
Therefore, just now, the Third Prince, Xia Hao, did not particularly care about Xu Zhongliang, and even retorted indifferently.
But then, an even more terrifying person appeared … the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces of Da Xia!
Fang Mingtong's appearance here was completely out of the three princes' expectations.
No matter how they thought about it, they could not understand how a Grand Marshal like Fang Mingtong could have any relations with Chu Mo.
On account of Old General Fan Wudi? That was impossible! They believed that Fang Mingtong would give Fan Wudi face. But why would he care about the affairs of a wimpy kid?
To a certain extent, he was even more terrifying than Xu Zhongliang! Not only did Fang Mingtong hold military power, but he was also the Emperor's loyal confidant. The Emperor doted on Fang Mingtong a lot.
Although the emperor did not joke, if Fang Mingtong said a word, he could even change the Emperor's mind!
Because this Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces was a brother who grew up with the Emperor!
When the current Emperor was still the Crown Prince, Fang Mingtong had done too many things for him and made great contributions.
Besides that, as a big shot in the military, Fang Mingtong usually did not care about matters outside of the military.
What was wrong with him today?
