When Yang Wu's family was halfway through their meal, another imperial edict arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
"Yang Wu, quickly come out to receive the edict." This time, it was not a eunuch who came to deliver the edict, but Meng Helang.
Meng Helang had already become the emperor's trusted aide, and his strength had reached the King Realm. His voice was full of energy, and every corner of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant could hear it clearly.
Yang Zhennan and Meng Helang were sworn brothers, so he was very familiar with Meng Helang's voice. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Meng is here."
Yang Wu calmly said to his father, "Father, don't worry about him. He can't even eat a good meal, he's really annoying."
After saying this, he stood up and prepared to send Meng Helang away.
"You can't not accept the imperial edict, Wu 'er, don't be impulsive." Su Roumei said with a trace of worry.
"Mother, don't worry, I know what to do." Yang Wu said as he patted the back of his mother's hand and walked out.
Yang Wu arrived outside the restaurant and saw that Meng Helang was not allowed to enter. He was even more shocked by the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Wherever the imperial edict went, there was no one who didn't kneel to receive it. The Drunken Immortal Restaurant even dared to block it outside the door. Only a power from the Transcendent Realm would dare to do this.
After Meng Helang saw Yang Wu, he quickly said, "Yang Wu, quickly accept the imperial edict."
His tone already had a hint of pleading. He really didn't want Yang Wu to refuse the imperial edict again, otherwise he would be in a difficult position.
Yang Wu didn't answer the question and said, "Can't you let people eat a good meal?"
"Yang Wu, don't be like this." Meng Helang said sullenly.
"What am I doing? I'm telling you not to be like this. Go back and tell the emperor that Yang Wu will enter the palace in three days. Don't rush me, it's annoying." Yang Wu said as he picked his ears.
Many people outside the restaurant were shocked when they saw his impatient look.
Not only did he defy the imperial edict, but he also did it in such a matter-of-fact manner. He simply did not place the imperial edict in his eyes. This was a great disrespect to the current emperor.
"Yang Wu, do you know what happened to Xue Gui?" Meng Helang could no longer talk nicely to Yang Wu. He could only resort to threats.
Yang Wu stared blankly for a moment, then a trace of coldness appeared on his face as he faintly said, "I, Yang Wu, am not Xue Gui!"
After he finished speaking, he did not waste any more words with Meng Helang. He turned around and returned to the private room.
Meng Helang looked at Yang Wu's back and gently sighed. He could only turn around and leave.
Everyone in the Royal City knew about Xue Gui's death. However, they were forbidden from spreading what happened that day. Those who disobeyed the order would be executed.
Yang Wu had just returned, so he did not know how Xue Gui died. However, he did not need to think to know that Xue Gui would not have a good ending. Meng Helang's words also proved that the person in the royal palace could not bear it anymore.
However, it did not matter. He was still fearless.
Xue Gui was once one of the ten kings. Yang Wu was not one of the ten kings. However, he was not afraid of any of them. Moreover, Meng Bingxue was always by his side. Who in the royal palace would dare to harm him?
Of course, he did not think that he was invincible, nor did he want to be the enemy of the entire dynasty. He just wanted to make one thing clear. He would not let anyone bully him anymore.
Yang Wu ate this meal very happily. Even though he was worried about something, he was not afraid.
After he ate with his parents, he raised the wine cup and drank with his brothers of the Death Legion.
He completely let go of himself and accompanied them to get drunk.
The soldiers of the Death Legion were used to hard days at the border. It had been a long time since they were so indulgent. Every one of them ate and drank to their heart's content. They kept drinking with Yang Wu. The atmosphere was very lively.
Outside, Meng Helang came again. Zhu Mo, the commander of the Imperial Guards, came with him. Behind him was a group of two thousand Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards surrounded the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. They did not dare to attack. They were waiting for Yang Wu and his group to come out and take them down.
"Yang Wu, come out and receive the order." Meng Helang shouted again.
Yang Wu pretended not to hear and continued to drink with his men.
"Yang Wu, don't be stubborn. If you don't come out and receive the order, you will all die." Meng Helang threatened.
Yang Wu asked his men, "Brothers, are you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Others call us the Death Legion. It's either they die or we die. We've been lucky to be able to live until today and follow the commander."
"That's right. Even if we die for the general today, we won't even frown."
"It's our honor to be a soldier under the general. It's also the general's merit to be able to come back alive from the border. Our lives belong to the general."
"As long as the general gives the order, we will kill our way out. The Imperial Guards are nothing."
… …
Everyone in the Death Legion was unafraid of death. They were not afraid at all. Instead, they were filled with killing intent.
"Haha, I, Yang Wu, am very proud to have brothers like you. Don't worry, with this general here, I won't let you die." Yang Wu laughed happily.
Just as Yang Wu turned around to speak with Meng Helang's group, a voice rang out from within the Drunken Immortal Inn, "Everyone outside the inn, leave. Don't disturb the esteemed guests of the Drunken Immortal Inn."
This voice was incomparably ethereal and difficult to grasp. It also contained an incomparably domineering might, causing the Imperial Guards outside to reveal looks of shock.
Zhu Mo and Meng Helang felt it the most. They were both Kings, so their perception was extraordinary. The aura of the person who spoke now seemed to be that of a peak King. It might even be an existence that surpassed the King rank.
"Retreat!" Zhu Mo didn't even think as he shouted at the Imperial Guards.
He already knew that the Drunken Immortal Inn was a place that couldn't be provoked. Now, he finally understood what was going on. This was a place where a great expert was guarding.
The Imperial Guards retreated like the receding tide. Now, it was finally peaceful.
Yang Wu was even more aware of the extraordinariness of the Drunken Immortal Inn. Moreover, he was even more shocked by Yang Keren's transformation.
"What does Big Sister Keren have to do with this place?" Yang Wu asked in his mind.
… …
After Zhu Mo and the others retreated, they quickly entered the palace to meet the Emperor.
After the Emperor heard Zhu Mo and Meng Helang's report, his brows furrowed. It could be seen that he was really angry.
"Your Majesty, what is the origin of the Drunken Immortal Inn? How dare they protect a traitor like this?" Zhu Mo asked the Emperor.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," the Emperor said sternly.
Zhu Mo immediately shut his mouth.
In the hall, other than Zhu Mo and Meng Helang, Third Master Qiao was also present. He said, "Your Majesty, this matter shouldn't be rushed."
"Teacher, how can we not be anxious about this matter? I have already listened to your suggestion and betrothed Xiaohan to him. He still dares to be so rude and put on airs. He wants to make us lose face. If we endure this, won't we have to give him the dragon throne in the future? "The Emperor said with incomparable anger.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Yang Wu, this child, is angry. Once he has vented his anger, he will be obedient. If Your Majesty really wants to take him down now, he will definitely rebel. This is not good for our court. It will also make some people clap their hands and cheer." Third Master Qiao advised.
"Teacher, are we just going to let it go like this?" The Emperor's anger still hadn't subsided.
"Your Majesty, you should have already gathered information about Yang Wu's situation, right?" Third Master Qiao asked.
The Emperor nodded and said, "I'm clear. What does that mean?"
"He is already a Young King. I'm afraid the relationship behind him is related to the Drunken Immortal Inn. What do you think?" Third Master Qiao said with wisdom.
This time, the Emperor slightly shivered and pondered for a moment. Then, he revealed a bit of depression. He didn't know what to say.
If Yang Wu really has a relationship with the Drunken Immortal Inn, he really can't get back his face. How can he swallow this anger?
"Your Majesty, this old minister has something to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate."
"Teacher, please speak. Zhen will not blame you."
"Yang Wu can only be won over, but not offended."
…
Prime Minister Song, Prime Minister Song.
Prime Minister Song welcomed a distinguished guest, Prince Fu An.
Prime Minister Song was a high official, but his status was worse than Prince Fu An. He always visited Prince Fu An, but this time, it was Prince Fu An who came to visit him, which made him a bit scared.
"Your Highness came, Lirui didn't greet you." Prime Minister Song quickly greeted Prince Fu An.
"Prime Minister Song, you don't need to be so polite." Prince Fu An replied.
After the two exchanged a few polite words, they went to the study room together. Tang Jiaoyan, who came with Prince Fu An, followed Song Youming to another place to talk.
"Song Youming, didnt you say that your family will come to propose marriage? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? "Tang Jiaoyan questioned Song Youming with a dissatisfied expression.
"Junzhu, it's not that I don't want to propose marriage, but my father said that now is an eventful time, so we should postpone it for a few days. When the time comes, we will come with a big gift to propose marriage." Song Youming replied.
"Hmph, did your family change their mind because Yang Wu came back?" Tang Jiaoyan coldly snorted and said.
"How can that be? Who does Yang Wu think he is? He is destined to become a ghost like Xue Gui." Song Youming replied.
"Do you think he will really die? I heard he has become very powerful now. "Tang Jiaoyan said with a trace of worry.
"He slapped the emperor's face. How can he not die?" Song Youming said.
Then, Song Youming approached Tang Jiaoyan and held her hand, then said with a trace of eagerness: "Junzhu, why don't you go to my room to talk? It's not convenient to talk here."
Tang Jiaoyan looked at Song Youming's appearance and knew what he wanted to do. Her face blushed and said: "What do you want to do in broad daylight?"
"Hey, it's more convenient to talk in the room during the day." Song Youming's anxious look was completely written on his face, as if he was afraid that others would not know what he wanted to do.
