Perhaps Lv Zhao's residence was not as big as the Sunset Hall, but it was unusually luxurious. The moment they entered the residence, they could see a huge bronze Xiezhi beast, which was quite familiar. Lin Muyu couldn't help but take a few more glances. Ding Xi saw this and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, this bronze Xiezhi was originally a treasure of the Ze Tian Hall, but after Lanyan City was destroyed, Marshal Lv Zhao transported it back to the Sunset City."
Lin Muyu was relieved.
At this time, a fat man came forward and smiled, "Greetings, Your Highness Yu, Marshal Ding Xi. I am the butler of the Marshal's residence. Please follow me, the banquet is about to begin."
"Thank you."
Walking through a long corridor, both sides of the corridor were decorated with strange stones and scenery, and the railings were hung with pieces of jade ornaments. Both sides of the corridor were connected by silk ribbons. The luxury of the Marshal's residence was indeed not something that ordinary people could understand.
At the same time, the Marshal's residence was heavily guarded. Lin Muyu easily used the Spiritual Pulse Technique to detect that there were hundreds of soldiers stationed behind the rockery, and both sides of the road were lined with well-armed warriors. Lv Zhao was rich enough to rival a country, but he was also afraid of death, afraid of losing everything in front of him. His own cultivation was very low, which made him even more afraid of death.
"His Highness Ling Zhong Wang has arrived! Marshal Ding Xi has arrived! "
When Lin Muyu and Ding Xi walked side by side into the Marshal's residence, the attendants on both sides immediately shouted at the top of their lungs.
Lv Zhao wore a silk belt around his armor, and his face was flushed. He laughed loudly and said, "It's rare for Your Highness and Marshal Ding Xi to grace me with your presence. Come, come, come, this way, the dragon meat banquet is about to begin."
"Thank you." Lin Muyu cupped her fists and said.
Sure enough, hundreds of officials had gathered in the banquet hall. In the center, an umbrella dragon had been stripped of its scales and was roasted over a bonfire. The outer layer of meat was already cooked and exuded a refreshing fragrance. In the bowls of all the participants, there was a piece of cooked golden scaled dragon meat. It was unknown how old it was, but it must be no more than 10,000 years old. Otherwise, it would be a real dragon. With Lv Zhao's ability, he would not be able to kill a real dragon and would only be devoured by it.
…
Lin Muyu's seat was still between Ding Xi and Man Ning. After sitting down, without saying a word, she stabbed the Golden-scaled Dragon's meat and took a bite. It was not poisonous, and it was very sweet. Let's eat first!
Lv Zhao sat on the host's seat, cupped his fists, smiled, and said a bunch of nonsense, nothing more than proclaiming how popular Yihe Country was and how strong its army was. Lin Muyu, on the other hand, was snickering to herself. If they really had a strong army, would they have been defeated by the demons? Even Long Qianlin had been defeated. There was no one in the Yihe Country who could resist the Demon Race. If it wasn't for the steel walls, the Demon Race would have massacred the four provinces of Lingnan!
When Lv Zhao sat down, the banquet began.
One by one, the slender maids walked forward to serve the guests, pouring wine and adding meat. Not long after, the golden cauldron on Lin Muyu's table was filled with all kinds of rare animals' food. Logically speaking, only the royal family was worthy of using a golden cauldron. Nobles used silver cauldrons, and ordinary people could only use copper cauldrons. The musicians on the side gently played their instruments, and it really felt like "the bell chimes and the cauldron eats".
Lin Muyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Life in the Yihe Country was really comfortable. After the looting of Lanyan City in Lingbei, they returned to Lingnan to enjoy this kind of leisurely life. However, she didn't know how long they could enjoy this leisurely life under the fierce attack of the Devil Tribe!
"Your Highness, this is the Cloud Deer Meat."
The maid carefully placed a piece of meat on Lin Muyu's plate with silver chopsticks. She didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Lin Muyu. This was because in the maid's heart, Lin Muyu was a supreme existence. She was the only King in the Yihe Country. What a great honor it was, even though this King didn't have any military power or political power.
"There's no need to put food on my plate. Thank you." Lin Muyu still maintained the habits she had developed in modern society. No matter who she was facing, she had to maintain the most basic courtesy, even if they were servants.
Unexpectedly, the maid blushed and said, "Your Highness, the Marshal said that if Your Highness likes me, he can bring me back to the King's Residence tonight."
Lin Muyu frowned and instantly turned pale in fright.
"Thank Marshal Lv Zhao on my behalf. I appreciate it, but I don't need it for now."
"Then … Thank you, Your Highness …" The maid's face was filled with panic, but she didn't know why she was panicking. Would Lv Zhao kill her if she couldn't complete the mission?
Lin Muyu didn't think too much about it. She just ate the meat in big mouthfuls and didn't dare to drink too much wine. After being in the Yihe Country for so many days, she saw that people's hearts were even more unpredictable. Lv Zhao and Man Ning constantly arranged people to stay by her side. This Highness was like a prisoner. Her every word and action was heard and seen by others. It was extremely painful.
The Yihe Country "treats people as benevolent and all living beings are equal", but was that really the case? If all living beings were equal, why couldn't this maid choose her own fate? Why couldn't she be with the man she loved? Why was she living in fear here? One word or mistake could cause her to be cut into pieces? Speaking of this, this equality of all living beings was really ridiculous.
After three rounds of wine, everyone was a little tipsy. Many of the ministers were already hugging their maids and having fun.
Lv Zhao stood up and raised his cup with a smile, "Lv Zhao is untalented, but I hope everyone can enjoy themselves tonight. Come, come, come, let's finish this cup of wine. Lv Zhao will bring everyone to see the treasures in the Marshal's Residence, as well as the spoils of war I brought back from the Northern Ridge Mountains."
Everyone drained their cups in one gulp, then stood up and followed Lv Zhao to the inner hall of the Marshal's Residence.
Both sides of the spacious passage were lined with armored guards. Lin Muyu and Ding Xi walked side by side, but there were two Saint realm experts, Lu Zhan and Yan Li. They were too guarded against Lin Muyu. Man Ning's sleepy eyes were narrowed, and his face was filled with drunkenness. But who knew if he was really drunk?
… …
Inside the back hall, there were all kinds of rare and precious objects, weapons, and jade stones. This was where the real treasures were located. However, Lin Muyu saw the center of this spacious hall with a single glance. On the display stand, there was a huge vase, and in the vase, there was a human head. That was Qin Lei's head. His eyes were wide open, showing the unwillingness and anger of Qin Lei before his death. He still maintained the expression he had three years ago.
"Ah … …"
Lin Muyu felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. She couldn't help but cover her chest. The pain was so painful that tears almost fell down her cheeks. Ding Xi hurriedly supported her from the side to prevent others from seeing any clues.
At this time, Lv Zhao was talking about his experience in Lanyan City with saliva flying everywhere. "Hmph, what Imperial Army, didn't they still lose their helmets and armor because of us?"
"If it wasn't for that Qin Yin escaping so quickly, I'm afraid that her head would also be placed here, and there wouldn't be any chaos in the Empire!"
"That's right, back then, it was also because the Head Commander didn't allow it. Otherwise, I would have definitely chopped off Qin Jin's head and placed it here. Hmph, the Qin Clan has occupied this mainland for too long, tyrannically abusing others. They should have had this day long ago!"
As he spoke, Lv Zhao walked over with a smile and provoked Lin Muyu, "Your Highness Yu, do you want to go a little closer and see the expression of the former Imperial Army Commander, Qin Lei? He's practically like a dead dog, hahahaha … … "
Lin Muyu walked forward step by step. Lv Zhao was really drunk, and he was really beside himself with joy. He completely didn't notice Lin Muyu's killing intent.
"Your Highness!"
Man Ning shouted from behind, "What do you want to do?"
Lin Muyu smiled casually, "Observe Qin Lei's head."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Qin Lei's head in the bottle. He no longer cared about the heartache that felt as if thousands of arrows had pierced through his heart. The battle energy in his body suddenly swelled up, and with a light wave of his palm, the Dragon Spirit Sword was already unsheathed. With a "pu" sound, it pierced straight into Lv Zhao's heart. Before anyone could react, Lin Muyu shouted angrily at Lv Zhao, who was still alive, "He is my brother, and you actually dared to chop off his head. If I don't kill you, then I'm not fit to be a human. I, Lin Muyu, am the Commander of the Great Qin Empire, not some Highness to you bunch of beasts!"
The blade of the sword spun, and the battle energy directly shattered Lv Zhao's heart. Furthermore, the power was too forceful, and directly shattered Lv Zhao's upper body into a pile of minced meat!
"Lin Muyu, you're rebelling!" Behind her, Lu Zhan's violent roar sounded, "Kill him!"
A forceful sacred energy descended, and it was the pressure of a Divine Heaven Realm expert. For a moment, Lin Muyu's entire body was already unable to move. However, at this moment, strands of Dark Force also burst forth from Lin Muyu's body, "Five Elements Eight Wastelands Destruction!"
The space violently distorted, and the Seven Elements Profound Energy tore open a gap in the domain. Lin Muyu turned around and punched out heavily. Countless strands of Fifth Element Profound Energy gathered together, and directly hit Lu Zhan's chest!
"Bang!"
Lu Zhan was hit so hard that he took a few steps back. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but he was not seriously injured.
Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, she lightly smashed the bottle with her palm, and used the prepared black cloth to wrap Qin Lei's head. The fierce battle energy in her palm quickly cooled down, turning into frost and freezing Qin Lei's head. With a flip of her wrist, she tied the black cloth with the head around her waist.
"Kill him!"
Around them, a large group of people roared angrily.
"Hum!"
The golden wall of the gourd was quickly summoned, and the Martial Soul's skill was activated. A wave of battle energy was absorbed into the mouth of the gourd. Lin Muyu's battle boots stomped on the ground, and she rushed out. However, a wave of air rapidly spiraled above her head. It was the attack of another Divine Heaven Realm expert. Yan Li was here!
"Bang!"
The flaming palm landed on the wall of the gourd, and directly smashed it. Yan Li's Law of Fire was very pure.
However, he did not expect that Lin Muyu did not dodge at all. Instead, she raised her hand and gently twirled it. A dense seven-colored ribbon appeared, and directly bound Yan Li's palm — Astral Chain!
"Come down!"
With a roar, Lin Muyu quickly pulled. How could Yan Li block the edge of the Astral Art? His whole body quickly fell down, and the longsword in Lin Muyu's right hand was filled with the Mountain Constellation. Eight golden God Binding Chains circled around it, and the third level of the Astral Art was blasted out along with the longsword — Five Mountains Descend from the Heavens!
"Bang!"
Blood spurted out, and Yan Li's head was directly smashed into pieces!
A Divine Heaven Realm expert was killed in a single round!
At the same time, a chill ran down Lin Muyu's back, and she immediately cursed inwardly. It's over!
"Bang!"
Blood spurted out from Lu Zhan's palm. It was so powerful that it directly broke through Lin Muyu's battle armor, and a few of the bones on her back were likely shattered as a sharp pain shot through her.
"Pfff, pfff …"
Three longswords stabbed into her abdomen at the same time, and the excruciating pain was unbearable. It was the combined attack of the Three Nobles and National Captaincy.
Lin Muyu could only see the color of blood in front of her eyes. She swung her longsword, and three heads flew into the air at the same time. Borrowing the momentum of the attack, she quickly retreated to the outside of the general's manor, but there was a group of soldiers armed with bows and arrows waiting for her.
