Imperial City, Liangyi Palace.
Li Ao was sitting on the throne now, looking tired but his eyes were cold.
In the empty hall, Song Mu was standing at this moment, and next to him was Zhao Feng, who had already been tied up by Wu Hua Da, kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Zhao Feng has long lost his former aura. Song Mu's hard blow last night made him realize Song Mu's power as a scholar of the Imperial Academy. The scene of the sky and the earth turning dark in the blink of an eye lingered in his mind. .
At this moment, Zhao Feng did not dare to face Li Ao who was sitting in front.
He was originally a hero of the Wen Dynasty, but now he is a prisoner and a traitor who brought trouble to the Wen Dynasty.
The silence in the main hall was terrifying. Li Ao's eyes were fixed on Zhao Feng, and he spoke slowly after a long time.
"Zhao Feng, you make me...very disappointed."
Li Ao's voice was very tired, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort for him to say this sentence.
Zhao Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly trembled, but regained his composure.
Song Mu did not speak. Song Mu had already given a detailed report to the other party about what had happened before. Today, he was here to learn all the answers at Li Ao's request.
"I want to know, Wen Chao, how did I mistreat you, and how did I mistreat you?"
Li Ao asked this question, but Zhao Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, remained unmoved and gave a low chuckle.
"Your Majesty, it's useless to talk more. Why don't you think about the old feelings and give me a good time."
Saying this, Zhao Feng raised his head slightly, as if he was looking forward to death.
"I just ask Your Majesty to let me be buried with my body, even if it is in a mass grave."
"presumptuous!"
Song Mu shouted sharply when he heard this, but Li Ao waved his hands indifferently and looked at him again, his eyes still cold.
"I can't understand why, just for the sake of immortality, you secretly conspired with demons to kill countless of my civil servants, just for the sake of immortality, which even the late emperor could hardly achieve?"
As Li Ao said this, the expression on his face suddenly changed. He slapped the table hard and shouted angrily.
"Those are the pillars of the Wen Dynasty, but they died because of your greed for immortality?"
The voice echoed in the hall, but Zhao Feng raised his eyes even more, looked at Li Ao, and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, if you don't want to live forever, what else can you do?"
Li Ao paused and seemed to have some changes on his face. Song Mu also frowned heavily after hearing this, but then he heard Zhao Feng continue.
"The Wen Dynasty did not treat me badly, but Your Majesty, Duke Jingguo, and Duke Yingying, how are they doing now?"
"They have Jinshi degrees and promising future generations. What do I have?"
"It's just an ancestral house! It's a sick body, and there are three or two dandy children and grandchildren, and there's no hope of being a scholar!"
Zhao Feng said this, his eyes looking at Li Ao were even more arrogant and unwilling, and he looked directly at Li Ao.
"So, how many more generations will I have, Duke An Guo?"
"In this world, literary power is respected. If the next generation has no hope, let's look at those aristocratic families. What will the future be like?"
"It's ridiculous. Could it be that falling into the devil's path can restore your family fortune? Could it be that living forever can protect your family fortune?"
Li Ao became even more angry when he heard this. Even Song Mu felt it was treasonous and crazy fallacy after hearing this outrage.
But Zhao Feng just closed his eyes and laughed twice, and when he opened his eyes again, he felt a bit disdainful.
"Protect the family? Protect this loyal dog family?"
"Protect your Li dynasty for eternity?!"
A turbulent wave of air suddenly exploded, and the surging power actually overturned everything in the hall, and Li Ao's figure had already flashed in front of Zhao Feng.
The strong wind blew Zhao Feng down, gritting his teeth and fear flashing in his eyes.
Li Ao looked at Zhao Feng like this, his aura gradually dropped, and then nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's it."
Li Ao raised his eyes and let out a long breath.
"So you identify yourself as this kind of person in your heart?"
Zhao Feng still looked cold, but Li Ao stood in front of him and said calmly.
"Your ancestors and Emperor Taizu were blood-blooded friends. Today's Wen Dynasty is only possible because of the support of all the princes and the late emperor. It is for this reason that you and others are famous for generations to come."
"Loyal dog? When the late emperor was still alive, he told me that you and I will be my brothers and sisters with different surnames, and I will rely on them from now on."
Li Ao said calmly, and Zhao Feng's eyes changed a lot after hearing this.
But Li Ao stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Feng. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other.
"I have not forgotten that when we were young, you and I hunted summer cicadas together, practiced swordplay together, and my mother made lotus seed soup for us and all of us. We blew the evening breeze in Tan Palace, took a bath in Huaqing Pool, and wandered around the world in the future!"
"Zhao Feng! You forgot!"
"You have forgotten me and your past. You only remember what others told you. You are a dog of my Li family!"
This was the first time Song Mu saw Li Ao roaring like this, but there was no anger in his eyes, only sadness and dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Li Ao was not a monarch, but like an eldest brother, watching his brothers fall into evil ways.
After hearing these words, Zhao Feng seemed to be finally a little touched.
This time, his teeth were relaxed, but his eyes were unwilling to meet the other person's eyes anymore.
"Your Majesty, our fate has long since ended."
Li Ao let go of Zhao Feng and was silent this time. Zhao Feng lay on the ground and just said indifferently.
"Just want to die."
Song Mu looked up at this moment and saw that the aura on Li Ao's body began to surge again, so he spoke quickly this time.
"His Majesty!"
Li Ao paused slightly, then turned around, seemingly stooped slightly, and walked back again.
"Song Aiqing, take her out, I'm tired."
Song Mu clenched his fists. He could only nod his head and walked towards Zhao Feng.
But Zhao Feng suddenly spoke at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I think Master Song is still a little confused. Maybe it's best to tell him today."
Song Mu paused, and Li Ao lowered his eyes slightly. Song Mu immediately stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
"Zhao Feng, tell me, why do you want to destroy my master's entire family?!"
"The demon said it would kill them, but I just accepted the convenience."
As Zhao Feng said this, he looked at Li Ao and then shook his head slightly.
"Song Mu, Huangfu Fengming found you, it seems that it was God's wish."
"only……"
Saying this, Zhao Feng was stunned again.
"Master Song, do you have anything else to ask?"
When Zhao Feng said this, Song Mu just looked at him. His clenched fists slowly relaxed, but he still said nothing. However, Zhao Feng suddenly raised his head and looked at Song Mu.
"I think Mr. Song still has a doubt, how does Ma Yue's death have anything to do with me."
These words immediately made Song Mu raise his eyes, but Zhao Feng looked at Li Ao and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, I think you may also need to know about this matter."
"I do know Na Ma Yue, but it's just a casual acquaintance."
"I don't know what kind of person he was, but it was not my intention for him to die in front of Mr. Song in the fire that day."
"Your Majesty, do you really think that I am the only one in this world?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder exploding in Song Mu's mind.
