The emperor's voice was so loud that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard. The eyes of the civil and military officials once again focused on Yang Wu. They all want to see if Yang Wu still has the courage to resist the imperial decree in public.
Yang Wu was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. Otherwise, how could he think of going to the barbarians alone to negotiate with them? He already felt the other party's method of 'retreat in order to advance' from Prince Fu An's words.
Once he accepts the position of Prince Fu An's son-in-law, the grudges between him and Prince Fu An will be written off. There will no longer be any connection between them. If he doesn't agree, his blood will be spilled on the spot.
However, how could such a small trick be enough to make him submit?
This time, Yang Wu has already prepared various means to deal with it. He did not hesitate to reply: Yang Wu is not willing.
Just as he finished speaking, the Emperor had already ordered, "Drag this thief away and behead him."
In an instant, a powerful aura filled the hall. This was not the aura of an ordinary King, but that of a true master of the Celestial Fish Realm. It came from the old eunuch who had killed Xue Gui before.
At this moment, Yang Wu loudly said: Huangshang, please wait, Yang Wu still has something to say.
"No matter what you say, you can't defend yourself." The Emperor coldly said.
Just when the old eunuch was about to make a move, a cold aura immediately locked his body, making him tremble all over: Which expert dares to break into my Da Xia Imperial Palace?
The cold aura was obviously stronger than the old eunuch. Not only the old eunuch felt it, but even the civil and military officials in the hall felt it. Their bodies tightened, and their faces showed a look of horror.
This was the imperial palace of Da Xia Imperial Palace. There were many experts hiding in the dark. Even the old eunuch and the others didn't notice the existence of the other party. It can be seen how terrifying the strength of the other party was.
The emperor on the dragon throne looked pale. His strength was not weak, he was already a high-level king, but in the face of this cold aura, he couldn't even put up the slightest resistance. This was a Heavenly Realm powerhouse.
"I already said not to use force. This time, I came to reason with the emperor." Yang Wu faintly said.
Yang Wu's words undoubtedly proved that this hidden super expert belonged to him.
All of the civil and military officials were stunned, and Minister Song shouted, "Yang Wu, you really are trying to rebel!"
Luo Gongming also said, "Yang Wu, your family has been loyal for generations. Don't do anything stupid."
Who would have thought that Yang Wu would bring a Heaven Realm expert with him? If the other party went all out and killed the current Emperor, it would be very troublesome.
"You're thinking too much. If I were to rebel, why would I be standing here to reason with His Majesty? It's true that I disobeyed the decree, but I will compensate His Majesty in other ways." Yang Wu said calmly. Then he said, "Bingxue, withdraw your power. Don't scare the Emperor and the other officials. Let's continue to talk."
The cold air disappeared in an instant, and the old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. If he made a move just now, the other party will definitely kill him. After all, the other party's cultivation was above him.
Only then did the Emperor and the civil and military officials feel a lot warmer. The way they looked at Yang Wu had become completely different.
"Yang Wu, what do you want to do?" The Emperor glared at Yang Wu and asked.
Since he ascended the throne, this was the first time he looked so ugly.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask. My Yang Family, as the old general said, has been loyal for generations. But why did it end up like this?" Yang Wu asked.
The Emperor havent answered, but Prince Fu An hurriedly said from the side: "Your Yang Family's matter was done by benwang. Every debt has its debtor. You mustn't question the emperor."
"Oh, then let me ask Wangye, how did my Yang Family offend you? Why are you doing this to my Yang Family?" Yang Wu asked.
Prince Fu An was speechless for a while, but then he sighed and said: "The past is the past, let's not mention it again. Benwang can compensate your Yang Family."
"Wangye, what you said is really nice. You came to my house to propose marriage, but I didn't agree to marry the Princess. So, you hold a grudge and slandered me for being a rapist. My Yang Family's property was confiscated and my parents were sent to prison. My younger brother, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination, resigned from his position and was sent to prison. You think you can easily cover up this matter with just a few words?" Yang Wu glared at Prince Fu An.
At the same time, he released a powerful aura, accompanied by a thick death aura, which instantly affected the entire hall.
This time, everyone felt the fear of death. Everyone's expression became sluggish and panicked. They didn't have the slightest calmness. Compared to the cold aura from before, it was no less.
Especially Prince Fu An, when he faced Yang Wu's death aura, he collapsed on the ground. His face showed an incomparable pain, as if he was in front of the gates of hell. He kept struggling and screaming. He didn't have the slightest demeanor of a Prince.
As for the Emperor, he was under the protection of the old lady, so the power he suffered was much weaker. However, he could feel that Yang Wu had become really terrible. No wonder he could make a great contribution at the border.
Yang Wu didnt have the intention to kill Prince Fu An. He withdrew his death aura and faintly said: "This is just a small punishment. I still need to clear the account between me and your daughter. If you let the Black Hand List people come to kill me again, I dont mind hanging a few more heads in front of my Yang Family."
"The Black Hand List people were not sent by me." Prince Fu An refuted.
"Oh, then they were sent by Song Xiang?" Yang Wu looked at Song Lirui and said.
When he was framed, it was not only the Princess's idea, but also Song Lirui's youngest son. He clearly remembered this account.
"If you think so, then so be it." Song Lirui proudly said.
"Very well, this account will be on your head, Prime Minister Song." Yang Wu agreed.
"Yang Wu, this is my world, this is my imperial palace. How long do you want to be arrogant?" The Emperor couldn't help but roar. At the same time, a Dragon Qi rose from his body. The Emperor's prestige was unquestionable.
"Huangshang, please calm your anger. I have something to give you." Yang Wu said, then a jade bottle appeared in his hand and presented it to the Emperor.
No one knew what kind of trick Yang Wu was going to play, so they were all confused.
"What is this?" The Emperor asked.
"This is a king level pill refined by Yang Wu. It can help the Emperor regain his youthfulness for ten years. This is Yang Wu's self-atonement for disobeying the imperial decree." Yang Wu said in a deep voice.
"Yang Wu, don't mess around. Even if there is a Heavenly Realm expert here, you may not be able to win." Luo Gongming was afraid that Yang Wu was offering a poison, so he loudly said to Yang Wu.
"Old General, you think too much. This is really a pill. I want to wish the Emperor's youthfulness forever." Yang Wu emphasized. After a pause, he patted his forehead and said: "Don't you all know that I am a Medicine King? I thought you all have already received the news. "
At this moment, everyone was stunned. They looked at Yang Wu's excessively young face and had indeed forgotten the fact that he was a Medicine King.
This point was already confirmed by the border generals. Cao Jianda, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said: "Huangshang, I can testify that Yang Wu is indeed a Medicine King. He refined the Earth King Pill in front of all the soldiers and attracted the Pill Lightning."
Cao Jianda had already followed Fen Tianxiong back to the Empire. The war at the border had already stopped, so they all came back to receive their rewards or be punished.
Fen Tianxiong and all the generals were humiliated by the Barbarians. If it wasn't for their previous contributions, they would have all been beheaded. This was too shameful for the Empire.
In the end, all the generals were demoted. Only Cao Jianda was not demoted because he firmly believed that Yang Wu did not betray the Empire. Moreover, he had a brother who was killed when he tried to stop Xue Gui. This could be considered a great contribution to the Cao Family. Cao Jianda was also promoted by half a rank.
Ever since Yang Wu came to the palace, he stayed with the military officials and did not speak much. Only at the crucial moment did he stand up to speak for Yang Wu.
"What if he gave the Emperor a poison pill?" Song Xiang said.
"The pill can be tested." Cao Jianda replied.
"Forget it. Since the Emperor does not dare to accept this Face Preserving Pill, then I will keep it for myself." Yang Wu did not force the Emperor to accept it and put away the pill himself.
"Wait!" The Emperor opened his mouth and shouted. He then said: "Bring the pill over."
The Face Preserving Pill, ah. Which middle aged person did not want it? It did not matter if they were male or female. Everyone wanted to maintain their youthful appearance in order to live a more comfortable and comfortable life. Who would want to look old and clumsy.
The Emperor was also a person. He also desired to regain his youth. Although the Face Preserving Pill's effect was not that great, it would allow him to maintain his appearance for ten years and even make him look younger. How could he not want it?
"Emperor, you must not." A minister immediately said.
"This child has bad intentions. Don't." Another civil official said.
"Medicine Priest, come out and test the pill." The Emperor did not pay attention to the crowd and loudly shouted.
Thus, an unremarkable old man walked out. He was the current Medicine Priest of the Imperial Court. He was in charge of the Imperial Court's medicine warehouse. At the same time, he was a true Medicine King with an extraordinary position.
"This official is here." After the Medicine Priest responded, he walked over and took the Face Preserving Pill from Yang Wu's hands.
Yang Wu looked at the Medicine Priest and his nose smelled a strong medicinal scent. It could be seen that the other party was a master level figure who had been soaking in medicinal herbs for a long time.
Yang Wu slightly bowed to the Medicine Priest to show his respect.
"General Yang Wu, this old man does not deserve it." After the Medicine Priest calmly accepted Yang Wu's bow, he took the Face Preserving Pill. He took out the pill and began to appraise the medicine.
When he saw that the medicine was incomparably glossy and had a strong medicinal scent, he was filled with admiration. It was as if he was admiring a work of art. He slowly examined it and used his finger to touch the pill. He then put it in his mouth and licked it to distinguish whether the medicine was real or fake.
Everyone held their breaths as they watched the Medicine Priest distinguish it. They were also curious whether the Face Preserving Pill was real or not. They had heard of this kind of pill before, but it was hard to find even with ten thousand gold. Even the Medicine King's Hall did not have the pill recipe and could not refine it. Only the Transcendental Realm had the pill recipe.
