He left with even a woman and even left his second brother behind?
Seeing the disappearing figures of Ye Wushuang and others, Ye Wufeng was stunned on the spot; he blinked his eyes and turned back to look at Li Dawen and the others with a strange look on his face, full of confusion.
"Third brother, do you like to take women with you when you go out on business?"
"What if?"
The three of them looked at Ye Wufeng at the same time, as if they were looking at idiots, and said in unison: "You can't take us with you, can you?"
"Forehead..."
Ye Wufeng was immediately speechless, but a look of indignation appeared on his face.
Humph, it’s too much for the third brother to value sex over friends!
...
At the same time, in Cangyun Palace on the other side, in the square in front of the palace.
The eight stone pillars stood as before, and the wide square paved with sapphire was no longer empty, but now it was dark and crowded with people.
Countless Imperial Guards with golden arms and armor stood around with solemn expressions, guarding them closely, making them look mighty and domineering; making the seemingly bustling square still feel solemn.
The palace maids and eunuchs, who came and went in a hurry, carefully served fine wines and delicacies and placed them in front of the envoys seated on the left and right sides.
But the envoys from the four empires were all looking at the main seat at this moment; there, a figure in a dragon robe was sitting on the main seat, his face expressionless, not angry or intimidating.
It is Cangyun Empire, the current royal emperor, Chu Emperor Chu Xiaoao!
"Special envoys, the Eastern Wasteland is barren and there is nothing good to entertain you. Please forgive me!"
At this moment, Chu Xiaoao also looked at the envoys from the Four Kingdoms and said with a faint smile: "What is being served now is the Yunchi Qiong Liquid specially provided by the royal family."
"This wine is unique to the Eastern Wilderness, a specialty of Cangyun, and extremely precious. Drinking it by ordinary people can strengthen the body and prolong life; warriors drinking it can strengthen their meridians and improve their cultivation. It is a rare good thing. Everyone should taste it.
Fan it!"
"I don't have to watch it, right?"
At this moment, an old man sitting on the right side, wearing a Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, exuding an aura as thick as a mountain, smiled, shook his head slightly, raised his hands towards Chu Xiaoao and said: "Chu Xiaoao
Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness; however, I came to the Eastern Wasteland on behalf of the Beiming Empire this time on the orders of my emperor, with the purpose of making friends with your country through military force and enhancing the relationship between the two countries."
"I think this place is almost ready. I wonder if the competition can begin?"
"King An, since we use force to make friends, it is a battle of friendship. It does not harm harmony, so why should we be anxious?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoao was not angry and said calmly: "What's more, I have another distinguished guest who has not yet sat down."
Distinguished guest?
As soon as these words came out, the envoys from the four countries all looked at each other with surprise.
Who is it that can make Chu Xiaoao, Emperor Cangyun, wait for him?
"His Majesty the Emperor of Chu..."
At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a luxurious phoenix skirt on the left smiled brightly and asked: "I wonder who the so-called distinguished guest you are talking about is?"
"Nanhua layman, please wait a moment and you will find out!"
Chu Xiaoao didn't say anything clearly, but replied lightly, then turned away directly, stopped talking to the envoys from the four countries, and patiently drank by himself.
That Prince An was an old prince of the Beiming Empire; he was one generation higher than the current Emperor Beiming, and he was once a patriarch of the country. Even now he rarely participates in the affairs of the Beiming Dynasty.
, but still has a very important status, even if Emperor Beiming sees him, he must be polite.
And that Nanhua layman is even more remarkable; he is the contemporary national advisor of the Nanhua Empire, a very popular minister, and powerful. More importantly, it is said that he had a lingering friendship with the current Emperor of Nanhua in his early years.
; Her status in the Nanhua Empire is even higher than that of the Queen of Nanhua.
These two people, in the two empires, are both one person below ten thousand people, and have a distinguished status. It stands to reason that their status is comparable to that of emperors, and it is impossible for them to serve as envoys to other countries.
But this time, the two of them served as bodyguards to accompany the princes and princesses of the two countries on their mission to Cangyun. This was definitely not just a martial arts competition!
As for the Dongyue Empire, a prince came this time; but he was accompanied by a generation of war god, General Tanlang; he was a well-known victorious general, and his contribution to the Dongyue Empire's current territory was indispensable.
There is also the Xihui Empire. The one accompanying Prince Xihui is the current Emperor Xihui’s mentor, the current Grand Tutor.
This time, the four empires euphemistically claimed that they would use military force to make friends, allowing the younger generations of the five countries to communicate and strengthen their relationships; but in fact, Sima Zhao's intentions were known to everyone on the road.
They just wanted to test the strength of the younger generation of the Cangyun Empire and check the background of the Chu royal family for the sake of martial arts competition.
Chu Xiaoao has been sitting on the Cangyun throne for a hundred years, and has already become proficient in the art of emperors. How could he not see the wild ambitions of the four empires?
He has even guessed that this time the four major empires are visiting at the same time, they must be well prepared and want to thoroughly find out how deep the Cangyun royal family is now.
If it is too few or none, I am afraid that after the competition is over, the four great empires that are eyeing him will take action against Cangyun!
And once the four major empires form an alliance to take action, the Cangyun Empire may not be able to protect itself no matter how powerful it is.
It is precisely for this reason that Cangyun Empire must win in this competition.
Moreover, he had to win so beautifully that the four great empires were afraid of him!
Only in this way can the Chu royal family gain a glimmer of hope and the Cangyun Empire avoid crisis!
"It seems that Pu Ruozhi's matter needs to be dealt with urgently!"
Putting down the wine glass, Chu Xiaoao's eyes flashed with sparkle, and he considered it secretly.
As long as Pu Ruozhi's mouth is pried open and that thing is obtained, the Cangyun Empire will not be afraid of the threats of the four empires.
It will even have the power to take over Zhongzhou!
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, I wonder how long we have to wait?"
At this moment, the Greedy Wolf General of the Dongyue Empire showed a hint of impatience in his brows, and said with no respect: "If that distinguished guest doesn't come today, will your Majesty let us envoys from the four countries sit here for nothing?
Can’t do it?”
"His Royal Highness is here!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside the square.
Before he finished speaking, several figures walked towards him; the first person was none other than the current crown prince of the Cangyun Empire, Prince Cangyun, Chu Yuntian!
Walking side by side with Chu Yuntian was a young man in white, followed by two beauties.
Exactly, Ye Wushuang!
"The distinguished guest has arrived!"
Seeing Ye Wushuang, Chu Xiaoao smiled faintly.
As soon as these words came out, the envoys from the four countries were stunned and looked surprised.
The distinguished guest mentioned by Emperor Chu is the young man in white?
Ming Che, who was sitting next to King An, was even more confused.
Isn't this young man the same guy he met in Lingyun Pavilion when he first arrived in Cangyun City?
Unexpectedly, the distinguished guest mentioned by Emperor Chu was actually this boy!
"Interesting, really interesting..."
Soon, Ming Che came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth quietly raised, revealing a hint of cunning.
This time, the five empires are using military force to make friends; this guy is not a member of the royal family, but he is lucky enough to come here and is most likely one of the members to participate in the competition.
This would give him a chance to take revenge!
"This is Young Master Ye Wushuang. He is the most outstanding young generation in our Cangyun Empire, and he is also a distinguished guest of our Chu royal family!"
At this moment, Chu Xiaoao stood up and handed over his hands, and solemnly introduced the envoys from the four countries.
Ye Wushuang nodded slightly and said nothing. He was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Xiaoao's inner calculations and sat down directly accompanied by Chu Yuntian.
Lin Ruo'er and Liu Qingcheng stood respectfully behind them, one on the left and one on the right, without saying a word.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's not waste time!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiaoao didn't mind. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "The competition between the five countries begins now!"
