Under Wang Yi's guidance, Xiao Muyang and others came to a palace. The palace was very spacious and could accommodate hundreds of people. There were already many people inside.
When Xiao Muyang and others arrived, the crowd in the palace looked at them one after another. Seeing that the leader was a junior figure, many people looked stunned, and then vaguely realized something.
At such a young age, there is only one person who can lead many princes and nobles, Xiao Muyang.
He is also in the northern region?
Seeing the eyes directed at him, Xiao Muyang's face remained calm and he walked forward. Song Chunqiu and others followed him up.
Arriving in the middle of the hall, Xiao Muyang stopped and looked at a middle-aged man in gold robe sitting at the front.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, with a very generous face and an easy-going smile on his lips. He was just sitting there casually, but he still showed a noble temperament, as if it was engraved in his bones.
This person is sitting on the main seat, with many princes and nobles bowing down under him. His identity is self-evident, he is naturally the King of Yue.
"I've met the King of Yue." Xiao Muyang said with cupped hands towards the middle-aged man in gold robe. Although there was a deep hatred between him and Qi Fan, the King of Yue had not done anything to him yet, so he would naturally not take the initiative to stir up trouble.
"I have heard about Xiao Hou's deeds a long time ago. He is an unparalleled genius. In time, he will definitely become the pillar of the dynasty." The King of Yue laughed loudly, without concealing his appreciation for Xiao Muyang in his words.
The corners of Xiao Muyang's eyes moved slightly. King Yue's attitude was a bit beyond his expectation. Instead of showing power to him, he praised him in public. What does this mean?
"I heard that Qi Fan has some conflicts with you. That boy has been spoiled by this king since he was a child. He behaves arrogantly and does not know where the world is. I hope Xiaohou will not argue with him." King Yue said again, with a hint of tone. apology.
"When the matter here is over, I will ask him to go to Yunxiao City to apologize to you. I don't know what Marquis Xiao wants."
After the words of the King of Yue came out, the faces of the people in the palace changed, and the thoughts in their hearts changed rapidly. The King of Yue actually lowered his posture and reconciled to Xiao Muyang on behalf of his son. It seemed that he also wanted to make friends with Xiao Muyang.
However, they can also understand that Xiao Muyang is extremely talented and has a bright future, and there are many benefits to making friends with him. As for the enmity between Qi Fan and Xiao Muyang, it is just a small fight between the younger generations, and it is not worth the falling out between King Yue and Xiao Muyang.
Xiao Muyang looked at the King of Yue meaningfully, was silent for a moment, and then replied: "If the prince sincerely apologizes, I will not let things go by the way."
"With Xiaohou's words, I feel relieved." King Yue said with a knowing smile.
There was a deep meaning in Xiao Muyang's eyes. Based on his understanding of Qi Fan, he would never apologize to him. He said this to save face for the King of Yue and avoid making the atmosphere tense. Of course, the King of Yue did not know what he was thinking.
"This must be the Sword God." The King of Yue's eyes fell on Song Chunqiu. Then he stood up, cupped his hands towards Song Chunqiu and said, "I have heard about the reputation of the Sword God for a long time, but I have never had the chance to see him. Today I am here. It is truly a blessing in my lifetime to see my senior."
The sitting princes stood up one after another and bowed to Song Chunqiu: "I have seen the Sword God."
Song Chunqiu nodded slightly but said nothing.
Seeing the reverence on those people's faces, Xiao Muyang felt a sense of emotion in his heart. There have been many peerless figures throughout the ages, but only a few have the esteemed status of the Sword God. And today, who's reputation can rival that of the Sword God?
Not one.
"Everyone, please take your seats." King Yue looked at Xiao Muyang and others and smiled, saying that he sat down, and then Xiao Muyang and others found their seats to sit down.
There are still some empty seats in the palace, which shows that there are still people who have not arrived.
"May I ask, which prince does Xiaohou intend to support?" At this moment, a voice came to Xiao Muyang's ears, and it was Chen Sui who secretly transmitted the message.
After hearing the voice, Xiao Muyang's expression condensed slightly, and then responded: "Xiao does not want to get involved in the royal family dispute, and just wants to protect the people of Yunxiao City."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy for Xiao Hou to stay out of the matter." Chen Sui sighed lightly.
"Since ancient times, when the emperor and his ministers were in the court, Xiaohou was promoted by the prince. If there is no background, the new emperor will definitely find a way to get rid of Xiaohou when he ascends the throne in the future. After all, Xiaohou's talent is too strong, and the emperor will never allow him to threaten him. People with imperial power live in the world.”
Xiao Muyang glanced at Chen Sui in shock. He didn't expect that he would say such bold words. If others heard him, he would definitely get into big trouble.
However, Chen Sui said these words to him to remind himself to be careful about the royal family, so he would naturally not spread the word.
"Thank you, Marquis Chen, for the reminder." Xiao Muyang thanked him and said nothing more. Although he had some affection for Chen Sui, he had not yet reached a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
"It's a small matter." Chen Sui said nonchalantly.
As time went by, more people came to the palace one after another, and there were fewer and fewer empty seats.
At this moment, a middle-aged figure walked up to King Yue and bowed: "Your Majesty, everyone from the twenty-one cities in the northern region is here."
The King of Yue nodded slightly, looked at the crowd in front, his face became solemn, and he said: "You must all know the purpose of my visit. It is to eradicate the rebels under the emperor's order, but before going out, there are some things that need to be done. I will explain to you all.”
Everyone looked at King Yue without making any sound.
"The first thing is that in order to completely eradicate the rebellion, adjacent cities must unite. If one side is in trouble, multiple parties will support it. Only in this way can the rebels be defeated and casualties reduced." The King of Yue said.
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Muyang and said: "Everyone should take Xiaohou as a benchmark. Everyone should have heard about Xiaohou sending troops to reinforce Ziyu City. It not only saved the people of Ziyu City from disaster, but also saved the rebels from disaster." lost heavily."
"Xiao Hou has outstanding demeanor and extraordinary courage, which makes us admire him endlessly." Many people looked at Xiao Muyang and praised him.
Xiao Muyang's face was calm, and he was thinking about what the king of Yue was doing. Did he really want to put aside his grudges and make friends with him?
"The second thing is, in order to enhance the power of each city, I will send legions to each city. The city lords of each city will obey the orders of the legion commanders. They must not disobey in any way, otherwise they will be dealt with according to military law!"
After hearing these words, the expressions of many people changed, including the lords of various cities.
It was natural for them to obey the orders of the princes and nobles. After all, their status was above them, but the commander of the legion, whose status he was, could actually command them, which made them a little dissatisfied.
Although they were dissatisfied with this, they could only swallow this breath. After all, this was an order issued by the King of Yue himself. How could they dare to refute the King of Yue.
There was a deep meaning in Xiao Muyang's eyes. King Yue made this arrangement to control the overall situation. Although it was a bit domineering, it was good for controlling the situation. Even if something unexpected happened, he could respond in time without wasting time.
