After pondering for a moment, Tuoba Hongyuan said: "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it later?"
Yue Mei chuckled, still not caring very much: "If after the thing is done, you have seen my methods and the fate of those people, and still have the courage to regret it, then I really admire your courage."
This is a threat! A naked threat!
The people present felt chills in their hearts, but they couldn't explain why.
Tuoba Hongyuan chose to ignore this person's tone, turned around and rolled his sleeves and said: "You are indeed very confident, but I need to see your ability to determine whether you are a trustworthy companion."
Yue Mei raised her eyebrows slightly. Although her expression could not be clearly seen, the swordsmen around Tuoba Hongyuan clearly felt the woman's cold gaze sweeping over them.
Then I heard Yue Mei say coolly: "It's a very important matter, I don't want to tell the third person."
Tuoba Hongyuan didn't do what he thought and waved his hand: "You guys go down."
The swordsmen were all shocked: "Little Marquis! This is so dangerous..."
Tuoba Hongyuan curled his lips and said with a smile: "If she wants to kill me, even if you are here, it will only cost a few more lives."
The swordsmen looked hesitant, but were persuaded by Tuoba Hongyuan. They immediately left the yard in shame and stood guard not far away.
On the second day after the martial arts tournament, the newly appointed King of Cangzhou suddenly promulgated a new decree, which caused a sensation throughout Cangzhou.
From today on, the Shura fields covering all the tribes in Cangzhou will be abolished. Private selling and raising of fighters is strictly prohibited. Private fights to the death are prohibited. They will be treated as capital crimes. Anyone who participates in gambling will be punished with the same crime!
The custom of Shura Field has been around since the founding of the Cangzhou Dynasty, and it can be said to be the foundation of Cangzhou. It was not a casino at the beginning, but was used to select those with strong martial arts skills to serve the country.
However, with the end of the war and the corruption of the center of power, Shura Field gradually became a gathering of greed...the distortion of human nature and the loss of morality. And the people of Cangzhou who grew up in such an environment have had their outlook on life collapsed for a long time.
As soon as this law was promulgated, although the common people did not understand it, they did not have much to do with them. Most of them stayed on the sidelines and watched. However, some fighters who tried to make a name for themselves in the Shura Field became part of the protest.
In addition, those nobles with related interests were the main force in the protest.
But King Cangzhou remained unmoved and his attitude was resolute. At the same time, the royal army in Cangzhou City also dispatched and arrested all the envoys from the four tribes, causing an uproar.
Ye Fuxun was a little surprised when he heard about this in the embassy: "The two armies are fighting without killing the envoys. Besides, the Sifang tribe is a subsidiary of Cangzhou. Why arrest them? Is it to push the Sifang tribe away?"
After all, it is his own land, and no matter how unhappy he is, he will not turn against it. Ye Fuxun is even considering whether to take the opportunity to get involved.
Bai Yuxian was peeling walnuts for Ye Fuxun on the side. Hearing this, he said calmly: "The tribes from all directions planned to rebel. Because of Meng Chenren's relationship, the plan failed."
Ye Fuxun said in astonishment: "Could it be that they want to win the first prize in the martial arts competition?"
Bai Yuxian nodded and said: "Yes, this can make the Cangzhou royal family lose the support of the people. After all, Cangzhou respects martial arts. In addition, they also made some small moves, but before they had time to do it, they were caught by the Cangzhou king.
.”
Although these matters have nothing to do with him, he is now in Cangzhou, but he still has to grasp the situation. After a rough explanation, he put the freshly peeled walnuts into Ye Fuxun's mouth.
Ye Fuxun subconsciously opened his mouth, chewed walnuts and said inarticulately: "That's really unlucky. If we leave it to us, these people won't be able to escape."
etc……
Ye Fuxun suddenly swallowed the walnut in one gulp and choked on it.
Bai Yuxian reluctantly took the cup and drank the water for Ye Fuxun: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Ye Fuxun didn't care about anything else, patted his chest, drank the water, and said quickly: "The Dongqing tribe was also arrested? Those old, weak, sick and disabled people are also plotting a rebellion?"
Bai Yuxian chuckled and shook his head: "They didn't participate, but the tribes in the four directions are closely connected, so naturally they can't be alone."
Ye Fuxun stood up with a bang: "I have to go take a look."
Bai Yuxian frowned slightly: "This is Cangzhou's internal affairs. Our status is sensitive and it is not easy to manage."
Ye Fuxun grabbed a handful of hair irritably.
Bai Yuxian said: "Are you worried about the Dongqing clan?"
Ye Fuxun nodded: "After all, it has something to do with the Gu clan. I can't let it go. There is also the Wind-breaking Python... I still have something to ask him."
Bai Yuxian naturally knew the importance of the Wind-breaking Python. He nodded lightly and said: "I have arranged for people to not let the Wind-breaking Python die."
After all, this person had to rely on this person to remove the poison on Ye Fuxun. After Bai Yuxian learned about this, he immediately ensured the safety of the Wind-breaking Python.
Ye Fuxun thought: "But I can't just watch the Dongqing people being killed..."
But her status is not very suitable. Rumors spread that she was a queen of the Lu Kingdom and was interfering in the internal affairs of the South. She didn't care much, but the words were scary...
While she was thinking about it, Bai Yuxian was about to speak when Lu Ming walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Jiaoyue is here to visit."
Ye Fuxun's eyes lit up and he looked at Bai Yuxian, only to see Bai Yuxian also looking at him.
It was clear to both of them.
Just do it!
When Jiao Yue was eagerly welcomed into the embassy, she was still confused.
She came to the embassy frequently, and Queen Lu was friendly to her, but she was definitely not warm.
At this time, Princess Jiaoyue looked at the cup of hot tea and peeled walnuts in front of her, as well as the eager face of Queen Lu.
"..."
She spoke with difficulty: "This matter... I will do my best."
Ye Fuxun grabbed Jiaoyue's hands and smiled softly: "Do as I say, you can do it."
Jiaoyue swallowed her saliva and nodded with difficulty.
Seeing Gaoyue leaving without even bothering to drink the tea, Ye Fuxun picked up the peeled walnuts, stuffed one into his mouth, and nodded happily: "Finally, the pain for this girl was not in vain."
In the royal city of Cangzhou, there was a lively atmosphere in the court hall. Some people were against it, while others were in support.
For example, in the past, the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty ruled the world with one hand and was a staunch royal party. He would do whatever the king said. Moreover, he was still a civil servant. Although he was a civil servant, he was not good at military strategy. Therefore, it was not painful for him to abolish the Shura field.
Not itchy.
As for the eldest prince and the third prince, they maintained a silent attitude.
But at this time, what was discussed was another matter.
In the center of the hall, the envoys from the four tribes were kneeling on the ground. Under the emperor's power, even if they were guests, they had to submit.
The leader of the Shanwu clan was a big man. He knelt on the ground, looked at Tuoba Yuxuan on the throne with cold eyes, and said, "I don't know why King Cangzhou treated the envoys of the tribes from all directions like this."
