After Xiao Muyang and Gu Xing entered the banquet, there were only three empty seats left in the hall. It was very likely that they were unable to come due to something else.
Not long after, a loud voice came from outside the palace: "The king and queen are here!"
This sound entered the hall, and everyone immediately stood up, including Cangtian Lord and Cangtian Lin above, and they all bowed and faced the outside of the hall. The space became extremely quiet, and all sounds subsided.
Then a group of figures stepped into the hall. Walking at the front was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a nine-clawed dragon robe and a crown. His face was deep and majestic, and his eyes were particularly calm. However, there There seems to be an unfathomable meaning underneath the calmness, which is difficult for people to see through.
His steps were not fast, but with every step he took, there seemed to be an invisible aura permeating the air, making the space feel a little heavier.
This middle-aged man is clearly the supreme king of Canglan Kingdom.
The king's status is supreme, above hundreds of millions of people. Even the queen cannot keep up with him and needs to be one step behind him.
I saw the queen wearing a phoenix crown and harem, with a noble temperament and a motherly demeanor that no one dares to blaspheme. Although she is a mother, her face still looks extremely beautiful. If she were more than ten years younger, she might compete with Hua Qianyu The title of the most beautiful woman in Canglan Kingdom.
The king stepped towards the front of the hall, and then sat on the supreme throne. The queen sat next to him. The two of them were condescending, overlooking everyone below.
"Let's all get flat." The king said casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone replied in unison, and then sat down one after another.
The king glanced at the crowd below and said loudly: "Today is to celebrate the two leaders in the hunting battle, not to go to court. You don't need to be too restrained, just enjoy yourself."
"Yes." Everyone agreed, but even though they said so, how could they dare to be unrestrained?
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are not careful, you may fall into a place of eternal destruction. Although the king behaves very gently now, they clearly remember in their hearts how he won that place with iron-blooded means decades ago. Of the throne.
However, this matter was taboo and no one dared to mention it, as if it had never happened.
Then everyone began to enjoy the fine wines and delicacies, and the ministers who had good relations toasted to each other. As they exchanged glasses, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, not as depressing as when the king first arrived.
However, while everyone was enjoying themselves, a figure suddenly stood up from a seat, raised his hands in the direction of the king and said, "Does the king remember the promise made three days ago?"
The figure standing up was clearly Xiao Muyang.
When Xiao Muyang's voice fell, the originally bustling hall became quiet again.
Everyone present looked at Xiao Muyang, and some people had a look of shock on their faces, thinking that he was so brave, he dared to ask the king so directly, weren't he afraid of death?
The king also looked at Xiao Muyang, seemed to have remembered something, and said: "I did make a promise. I asked you to reply within three days. Have you thought about it now?"
"Think about it." Xiao Muyang bowed and replied.
"What is it? Tell me." There was a trace of curiosity on the king's face. He didn't know what reward Xiao Muyang would want after thinking about it for three days.
Xiao Muyang raised his head and looked at the majestic figure above, and slowly said: "I want to compete with someone, and I beg the king to grant it."
"Compete with one person?"
When the crowd in the hall heard this, their expressions suddenly became extremely strange. What kind of reward is this?
The king's eyes couldn't help but freeze for a moment. He had thought about many possibilities, even marrying a princess, but he didn't expect that the reward Xiao Muyang wanted was so simple, just to compete with one person.
If it were just a competition, it would not be difficult at all, but Xiao Muyang brought it up on such an important occasion, which meant that this matter was not as simple as it sounds.
"Who do you want to compete with?" The king looked at Xiao Muyang and asked.
"Yuncang Academy disciple, Ye Chen." Xiao Muyang replied.
"Ye Chen, it is said that he is the son of the Ye family in Yongzhou City." Some ministers had a strange look in their eyes. Although they were in Tiancang City, the Ye family was the first family in Yongzhou City and was not weak in strength, so they naturally understood it.
"Since I am practicing in Yuncang Academy with you, if you want to compete with him, you can just compete directly in the academy. Why do you come to ask me?" The king asked again.
"If I propose a competition, he may not be willing to agree, but if the king orders it, he will have to fight. Moreover, this battle is a life and death battle. No matter what the outcome is, no one is allowed to intervene!"
When Xiao Muyang's voice fell, almost everyone trembled in their hearts, and a look of shock flashed across their eyes. A life and death battle?
Xue Wan'er's expression also changed, and she looked at Xiao Muyang's figure. She didn't expect that he would take revenge on Ye Chen in this way.
If there is an order from the king, Ye Chen has to fight.
If we fight, Ye Chen will definitely die!
"You entered the school together, and you are considered to be from the same school. It is inevitable that you are a little young and frivolous. It is normal to have conflicts. There is no need to kill each other. Maybe after a while, the anger in your heart will disappear." The king looked at Xiao Muyang. He said, "Let's change it to another one."
"There is a life-and-death feud between me and Ye Chen, please let the king fulfill it!" Xiao Muyang begged again, his expression extremely serious.
"You are really presumptuous, you actually dare to disobey the king's will!" Many ministers secretly thought, some admired Xiao Muyang's courage. He was indeed young and had never seen much of the world. He didn't know what consequences these words would have in the future. .
At this time, the king looked directly into Xiao Muyang's eyes, and Xiao Muyang looked at him without fear.
After a moment, the king looked away, and his expression changed slightly. From Xiao Muyang's eyes, he saw a firm belief, which made him understand that Xiao Muyang really wanted to kill Ye Chen, and it was not impulsive.
But the king still did not directly agree to Xiao Muyang, but looked at Cang Tianjun below and asked: "Tianjun, Xiao Muyang and Ye Chen are both disciples of Yuncang Academy. Since you are the honorary master of the palace, in your opinion, how should we solve this problem? thing?"
After hearing the king's words, an intriguing look flashed in the eyes of many people present. It seemed that the king was still unwilling to agree to Xiao Muyang's request, so he threw the problem to the prince and asked him to be the villain.
As long as the prince refuses, then the king has reason not to agree.
From now on, Xiao Muyang will only blame the prince, but not the king. Although the king doesn't care at all what a junior person thinks of him, as a king, he still does a good job in saving face.
At this time, Xiao Muyang looked at Lord Cangtian, his expression extremely calm. Of course he knew the intention of the Lord's move, but he didn't mind and just took this opportunity to see what his status was in the heart of the prince.
