The eunuch who announced the decree had a bitter look on his face. He had served the emperor for decades and had read countless imperial edicts. This was probably the first time he had encountered such a tyrannical minister as Wandong.

The content of Bai Zhenshan's imperial edict was almost as expected by Wandong. At the beginning of the edict, he scolded Wandong for being arrogant, ignorant of the general situation, and humiliating his ministers! He openly disobeyed the edict, which was simply treasonous and his words were extremely harsh!

Fortunately, Wandong was not standing in front of Bai Zhenshan at this time, otherwise he would have been drowned by his spittle. From the eunuch's reading, Wandong could fully understand how Bai Zhenshan was drafting this imperial edict.

The anger!

However, after some scolding, Bai Zhenshan's tone suddenly softened. To say that Wandong is young and energetic and impulsive is because he failed to accurately understand his difficulties and intentions as the emperor and made impulsive actions. It is not

Unforgivable.

This was followed by another series of earnest warnings, and finally he wrote that Nian Wandong was the first offender this time and he had made great contributions to the country, so he would not be severely punished and would only be fined one year's salary!

After listening to the imperial edict, Wandong's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of sneer. Let alone a year's salary, even if he was fined for a lifetime, he would not frown. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. It seemed that Bai Zhenshan had already passed away.

Wandong realized something in his thunderous rage, and he was quite smart.

According to convention, after the eunuch who announces the edict announces the edict, the minister who receives the edict will give a generous reward. Therefore, the eunuch who announces the edict will stay for a while after reading the edict. But as soon as the eunuch who announces the edict has finished reading the edict,

After handing the imperial edict to Wandong, he didn't dare to stay for a second, turned around and left Dingshan Palace as if running away. The situation was quite funny.

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Xu Wenchuan, Hu Jingqi, and Sun Daobai walked out of the study together.

Hu Jingqi looked at the imperial edict in Wan Dong's hand, turned to Xu Wenchuan and asked, "Is this the end of the matter?"

"The end? Humph, I'm afraid this is just the beginning." Xu Wenchuan snorted, turned to look at Wan Dong, and asked with a solemn expression, "Yao Ting, do you think we can spend this year safely?"

Wan Dong couldn't help but let out a sigh, his expression equally solemn, "Then it depends on God's will!"

"Your Majesty, what are you and Yaoting talking about? Why can't I understand?" Hu Jingqi looked confused, as did Sun Daobai, who looked stunned.

Xu Wenchuan did not explain to them, but just shook his head and murmured, "You will understand this one day."

Hu Jingqi and Sun Daobai looked at each other, doubtful.

"The princess has arrived!" A clear shout resounded throughout the Dingshan Palace.

Xu Wenchuan smiled and said, "Just after the eunuch who announced the decree left, this princess arrived. What is she doing? Hit her with a stick and give her a sweet date to eat?"

When the princess arrived, Xu Wenchuan, Sun Daobai and Hu Jingqi could no longer hide, and together with Wandong, they went out to greet her. Their faces were not yet torn, and the necessary etiquette must not be neglected.

As soon as the group was halfway out, they saw a large number of people approaching. The leader was the smiling Princess Baidie, followed by Tang Xinyi. Behind them, there was a pair of Fengxiang Guard soldiers, leading the way.

There are various boxes filled with gold, silver, treasures, jade and antiques. What a generous gift!

"The princess is here, but I have missed you so much. Please forgive me for my sins!" Xu Wenchuan praised Princess Baidie and bowed slightly to Princess Baidie, but did not kneel down.

This is not because Xu Wenchuan is arrogant, he has such qualifications, and Princess Baidie can't find fault. Sun Daobai, Hu Jingqi and Wandong couldn't be so supportive, and they all knelt down. But Baidie didn't wait.

They knelt down and excused themselves from their courtesy. Wan Dong was not polite and stood up suddenly, then retreated behind Xu Wenchuan, his face silent.

People who don't know, think that Wandong is polite, remains humble in front of his seniors, and doesn't want to be in the limelight. However, Baidie and Tang Xinyi are both people who know Wandong's temperament very well, and they know very well that Wandong

This kind of behavior has nothing to do with humility at all. It just means that he, Wandong, is very unhappy now and doesn't want to talk to them.

Tang Xinyi and Princess Baidie couldn't help but glance at each other. From each other's eyes, they could see the helplessness and bitterness in each other's hearts. They came here just to 'put out the fire', but now it seems that it is a bit difficult.

big.

"Giggle...Old Prince, today Die'er came here specifically to visit you. I personally selected these small gifts for you. I hope you like them." Baidie didn't put on any pretense of being a princess at all, and offered her gifts as soon as they came up.

She grabbed Xu Wenchuan's arm and smiled all over her face. People who didn't know better thought Baidie was Xu Wenchuan's granddaughter.

Although Xu Wenchuan was very dissatisfied with what Bai Zhenshan had done, he was not Wandong after all. He had many ties and could not act completely freely. No matter how dissatisfied he was, facing Princess Baidie's smiling face and Bai Zhenshan's words

The boxes of 'olive branches' that came over had to force a smile, patted Bai Die's hand, and said, "Your Highness, Princess, you have taken the trouble, I can't thank you enough!"

"What did the old prince say? You are the first meritorious service of our Qingyun Empire, and you are also Die'er's elder. In fact, Die'er should have come to visit you a long time ago, but you have been entangled in trivial matters, and it was not until today that you made the trip. Please also ask the old prince

Don't be offended."

"Grandpa, my grandson still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Wan Dong did not conceal his inner impatience and displeasure, and took advantage of the gap to say to Xu Wenchuan.

Before Xu Wenchuan could answer, Princess Baidie rushed to say, "Mr. Xu, don't leave in a hurry. I have a gift for you here. I guarantee you will like it. Xinyi, please take out the gift quickly."

Tang Xinyi said oh and immediately took out a sword from the pile of gifts.

Not to mention the quality of this sword, just looking at the scabbard of this sword, it is extraordinary. It is actually made of a whole piece of beautiful jade, punched, carved and ground. It is integrated, round and headache-like, and it exudes a dense light of treasure from time to time.

It's really luxurious to the extreme.

In order not to make this jade scabbard too monotonous, it is dotted with dozens of bright gems of different colors. At first glance, it looks like stars in the sky are inlaid on the scabbard, which is extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

Xu Wenchuan, Hu Jingqi, and Sun Daobai are all people who have seen the world. Seeing such a gorgeous scabbard, they can't help but take a breath. What kind of magic weapon is qualified to receive such a scabbard?

Among them?

Soon, Tang Xinyi revealed the answer, only to hear a crisp sound like a dragon's roar, which lasted endlessly, and a cold light like autumn water silently slipped out of the scabbard like a spiritual snake. In an instant,

Suddenly, a slight chill spread to the surroundings.

"Undersea ice and iron!?" Xu Wenchuan was the first to blurt out.

Princess Baidie smiled proudly and said, "The old prince is indeed well-informed. He can tell at a glance that this sword is made of ice-cold iron from the seabed!"

This seabed ice iron is also a very rare metal in the small world of mortals, and is as valuable as purple gold. This metal is only produced on the seabed of the deep sea. It is infiltrated by the cold air of the seabed all year round. It is not only extremely hard, but also naturally endowed.

A kind of cold air. Even in July, it can make people feel as cold as falling into an ice cave, which is very magical.

The rarity of seabed ice iron is even higher than that of purple gold. Although purple gold is rare, it can still be collected by manpower, but this seabed ice iron only exists on the deep seabed that is beyond human reach.

There is no way to extract it. The existing submarine ice iron in the world was all washed into the shallow sea due to submarine earthquakes or tsunami waves, and was later found by luck.

In the eyes of Xu Wenchuan, Sun Daobai, and Hu Jingqi, this magical weapon made of seabed ice iron may be a rare treasure, but in the eyes of Wan Dong, there is really nothing surprising about it. Compared with the fact that he specially made it for Wan Hao

The purple-gold dragon spear that Xiong forged and the purple-gold swords that he forged for Wan Youqi were completely inferior. They were even no better than the purple-gold divine weapons that he forged for Luo Xiao and the others.

However, the scabbard made of pure jade caught Wandong's attention. How perfect would it be if such beautiful jade could be used to create a pair of scabbards for Wan Youqi's purple and gold swords? It's a pity.

This jade is different from metal. It can only be polished, but cannot be melted and recast, which makes Wandong feel a little regretful.

"Your Highness, I have never heard of such a sword hidden in the palace?" Xu Wenchuan asked with a surprised look on his face.

Baidie gave a bitter smile and said, "My father is seriously ill, and Qiu Wanli exploited my royal family in every possible way. Of course, I cannot save such a magic weapon. To be honest with the old prince, we found this sword from Qiu Wanli's treasure house."

"

Hu Jingqi and Xu Wenchuan looked at each other in confusion. After Qiu Wanli's downfall, the royal family must have found many treasures from Qiu Wanli. This sword is probably just a drop in the bucket.

"Yao Ting, this is the princess's wish, what do you think?" Xu Wenchuan looked at Wandong with a smile and said.

You are a fool if you don’t take advantage of what is brought to your doorstep! Since Bai Zhenshan is so dishonest and continues to be polite to him, isn’t he asking for trouble? Wan Dong didn’t even think about it, so he nodded and said, “That’s right! Thank you so much, Your Highness, Princess.

Already."

As he spoke, Wan Dong reached out to take the sword, but Tang Xinyi took it back violently, leaving Wan Dong to catch it in vain.

Wandong's brows immediately frowned. What were you doing? Are you deliberately teasing him?

"Giggle... Mr. Xu, don't be anxious! It's rude to come back without reciprocating. Her Royal Highness the Princess gave such an extremely precious magic weapon to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu must come up with something decent in return.

"Tang Xinyi said with a sweet smile.

"Return gift?" Wan Dong sneered in his heart. He knew that Princess Baidie's gift of the sword was not innocent. Making a look of embarrassment, Wan Dong said faintly, "What Commander Tang said is reasonable. It's just me."

There is nothing to gain, and there is really no treasure that can be obtained. In this case, please take back this sword, Your Highness."
