Mu Yin frowned, not used to it. He almost blurted out, "You'll get paid for hugging me," but he stopped abruptly.
The head of the Mu family didn't hold each other for long, and the two of them returned to their awkward state again.
After all, some words and things have been hidden in my heart for too long and cannot be expressed at all.
"Go and sit down?" Head Mu looked up at him and asked cautiously.
Mu Yin said "hmm" indifferently.
Patriarch Mu was ecstatic and instantly beamed.
…
Zhongli State, Imperial Palace.
At this time, a table of luxurious delicacies was placed in the hall. Emperor Zhongli, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat at the head of the table. Next to him was the queen.
Emperor Zhongli and the Queen were smiling broadly at the pair of beauties opposite.
Queen Zhongli's eyes were gentle and she said softly: "Qingqing, you're welcome, we are all one family, you can eat whatever you want."
When Nangong Qingqing heard this, she first glanced sideways at the man sitting next to her. After looking at him, she smiled slowly and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
When Queen Zhongli heard this, her smile became even stronger. She looked at Nangong Qingqing with eyes that showed appreciation, satisfaction, and even more fondness.
Her royal son was able to find such a beautiful, stable woman as a Taoist companion, and she was sincerely happy for Yuan'er.
Emperor Zhongli laughed heartily: "My father is really happy that you can come back. I will stay drunk with you tonight!"
Zhongli Wuyuan frowned and persuaded: "Father, you can't drink spiritual wine, you will be allergic if you drink it."
"It's okay. Isn't your father happy?" Emperor Zhongli said with a smile. He hadn't drank spiritual wine for a long time and he was almost starved for it.
While his royal son and his daughter-in-law are back, it won't hurt him to drink the spirit wine once. At most, he will only feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Your Majesty." Queen Zhongli looked at Emperor Zhongli with a gentle look and called out softly.
When Emperor Zhongli heard this, his smile froze.
"No more drinking, no more drinking."
Emperor Zhongli sighed deeply.
At this time, there were two old men sitting at the table. They were the supreme ancestors of Zhongli Kingdom.
Among them, the bearded old man stared at Zhongli Wuyuan and asked in a arrogant tone like an elder: "Yuan'er, when you come back this time, are you going to give back some spiritual treasures to Zhongli Kingdom?"
"Ancestor Chang, this is not appropriate." Emperor Zhongli frowned when he heard this, and he spoke quickly.
Chang Laozu suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the table, making a "dong dong" sound, and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, Yuan'er is now promising, but don't forget that it was our Zhongli Kingdom who cultivated him. His food and clothing expenses all come from our Zhongli Kingdom, shouldn’t he give back to Zhongli Kingdom?”
He added: "Although Yuan'er is now so powerful that he can crush me to death with one finger, I still want to say that our Zhongli country's heritage is not as deep as that of the superpowers. Now there is a rising power sect that is eyeing our Zhongli country. ! If this continues, our Zhongli Kingdom will soon fall!"
When Zhongli Wuyuan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his head to look at Emperor Zhongli.
"What happened?"
Emperor Zhongli looked guilty and fell into silence for a while.
At this time, another Ancestor Yan sighed and said, "Yuan'er, don't blame Ancestor Chang for his bad attitude. The main reason is that our Zhongli Kingdom has been targeted by the rising power Long Zong in the past year. There are several Long Zong There are powerful men who are stronger than me and Patriarch Chang, and the Dragon Sect sends people to attack from time to time, so I and Patriarch Chang are at a disadvantage when dealing with them, and they are on the verge of death several times."
"Old Ancestor Chang even broke a leg because of this..."
Zhongli Wuyuan's eyes were deep and he asked, "What is the reason for targeting our country, Zhongli?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.
A guilty look flashed across Emperor Zhongli's face, while Queen Zhongli's expression became a bit colder.
Queen Zhongli narrated in a calm tone: "It was your imperial brother Zhongli Wufeng who tortured and killed some people in the Dragon Sect, including the wife of the leader of the Dragon Sect, so he provoked the Dragon Sect. Because Zhongli Wufeng is now the member of the Zhongli Kingdom. Prince, that’s why Long Zong targets Zhongli Kingdom everywhere.”
Emperor Zhongli raised his head, smiled, and tried to defend Zhongli Wufeng: "Feng'er just made an honest mistake, he is still young..."
Zhong Li Wuyuan's eyebrows were cold, "If I remember correctly, he is already twenty-six years old."
Zhonglihuang choked.
Zhongli Wuyuan knew that his father was actually not a bad person, but he was just a little confused. He loved any of his children, thus condoning some of their bad behaviors.
In the past, when he was still the crown prince of Zhongli Kingdom, he also disciplined other royal brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect that after leaving Zhongli Kingdom for so many years, he would have a wrong mind.
Zhongli Wuyuan was actually disappointed in his heart.
Next to her, Nangong Qingqing was keenly aware of his emotions. From a perspective that others could not see, she reached out to touch his hand and squeezed it slightly.
Zhongli Wuyuan felt the warmth coming from the back of his hand, and the coldness in his eyes gradually melted away.
Ancestor Yan asked: "Yuan'er, how do you think we should resolve this matter?"
Zhongli Wuyuan said indifferently: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell."
When Emperor Zhongli heard this, his face turned slightly pale. He said, "It's not that serious, right? Feng'er explained to me that it was someone from the Long Zong who insulted you, so as his younger brother, he was very angry. He accidentally made a mistake and let the Long Zong Those people just lost their lives.”
Zhongli Wuyuan sneered, "Only you believe such a lie. Father, you are really a foolish king."
As Zhongli Wufeng's imperial brother, he can naturally see clearly Zhongli Wufeng's character. Zhongli Wufeng has had bad thoughts since he was a child.
When Emperor Zhongli heard the last sentence, his face suddenly darkened.
"Yuan'er! You actually said such rebellious words!"
Zhongli Wuyuan said without changing his expression: "Father, the best solution now is to let Zhongli Wufeng suffer the consequences. Have you ever thought that if you defend him like this, you will encourage his arrogance and make him He has become lawless, and what has your act of protection brought to the people of Zhongli State? You let the people of Zhongli State and the two ancestors protect him from danger, but he is free and easy. You really Confused!"
"The people of Zhongli Kingdom are all your people. Do you want to ignore your people?"
These words made Emperor Zhongli speechless.
"If he was not at fault, I would stand up for him. But now he is the one who is at fault. I will not favor a selfish and irresponsible person!" Zhong Li Wuyuan said every word.
Emperor Zhongli looked ugly.
The two Supreme Ancestors looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Queen Zhongli smiled.
Zhongli Wuyuan looked at the two Supreme Ancestors and said calmly: "Two ancestors, I hope you can thoroughly investigate the original truth before making a decision."
After saying that, he looked calm, picked up the chopsticks slowly, and first took a piece of crispy meat for Queen Zhongli, and then a piece of fish for Nangong Qingqing.
He said softly: "It won't taste good when it's cold."
