Although the scenery in the courtyard outside the door has just entered early autumn, there is not much chill.
But at this moment, the entire hall felt like the twelfth lunar month of winter, bone-chillingly cold, and even the air was condensed into frost.
But he saw Chen Qi staying away from his original seat and walking straight to the front of the main hall.
This main hall was originally built temporarily by an emperor in ancient times to hold court.
Once upon a time, that emperor was sitting here, enjoying the worship of all his ministers?
Now, Chen Qi climbed up the high steps and slowly sat on the throne with the dragon and nine states engraved on it.
Like a heavenly king on earth, the king has returned!
Inside the main hall, there was complete silence, except for Fang Lin's painful moans from the soles of Suzaku's feet.
Hisssssssssss~~~
Everyone gasped frequently.
More than a dozen pairs of frightened and overwhelmed eyes looked up at the young man in front of them.
"Chen Qi, you have to think clearly. Killing us will not do you any good."
"There are fifty thousand of us stationed in this town. If we die, you won't be able to escape even with your wings!"
Zhou Can stared at Chen Qi and threatened in a deep voice.
Although the current scene was completely beyond his expectation.
Because of their contempt, Chen Qi, a hungry wolf, was attracted into the house.
However, they also have the biggest trump card, which is the 50,000 troops stationed at [Dongzikou].
Zhou Can didn't believe that Chen Qi would kill them all without caring about his own life?
Chen Qi stroked the dragon chair, calm and relaxed.
"Master Zhou, don't panic, Chen is here today, firstly, at your invitation to attend the banquet.
Second, I want to discuss a business deal with you."
"Business?"
Zhou Can frowned and asked in surprise, "What business?"
"In your opinion, the Chen royal family is already in the sunset and is about to be destroyed.
But in Chen’s view, the glory of the Chen royal family will not only continue, but will be even greater than before.”
Chen Qi raised his eyes slightly.
"This time, the two royal families of Yan and Yun have joined forces to besiege the Chen royal family. The defeat has been determined. If you can withdraw early, you can still seek stability and peace for your family."
These words made Zhou Can laugh loudly, "Chen Qi, I don't know where you get your confidence?"
"This time, the two royal families of Yan and Yun each have 200,000 troops and form the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan and Yun to jointly besiege the Chen royal family."
"Even a three-year-old child knows that the Chen Royal Family has no chance of winning."
"But you told me that the defeat of the Yan and Yun royal families has been determined?
Why?"
Zhou Can had a look of disdain on his face, "Is it possible that you, the young head of the Chen Royal Family, are the only ones?"
The two royal families of Yan and Yun have coveted the Chen royal family for a long time.
Preparations began a few years ago to jointly deal with the Chen royal family.
Now that the war is imminent, outsiders, as long as they have a little knowledge, know that the Chen royal family is unable to resist.
Destruction is doomed.
But Chen Qi is making bold statements here, threatening that the Chen royal family will continue to be glorious, but the defeat of the two royal families of Yan and Yun has been determined?
What kind of childish and ridiculous remarks is this?
Chen Qi shook his head slightly, "Master Zhou, you only know me as the new head of the Chen Royal Family. Aren't you curious about what Chen did before becoming the head of the Chen Royal Family?"
Zhou Can's expression was stagnant, "What do you do?"
"Lead troops to fight, gallop on the battlefield, guard the country's gates, protect China, and ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
Chen Qi wrote word for word, sonorous and powerful, which made Zhou Can and others tremble.
"You, are you from the military department?"
Zhou Can's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Impossible, there is no way anyone from the military will interfere in this matter!"
Of course Zhou Can knew that the Three Emperors, Five Kings, and Twelve Marquises were all under the jurisdiction of the Military and Cabinet.
Nowadays, if such a big thing happens among the three emperors, the cabinet will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
However, Zhou Can had already received the guarantee from the Yun Royal Family before he joined the Yun Royal Family's camp.
They have already got through to the cabinet, and the cabinet will not stop this siege of the Chen royal family.
Moreover, it is said that the current cabinet is also engaged in internal strife and has no time to take care of anything else.
Chen Qi explained that he was a member of the military department, simply because he wanted to use the military's position to put pressure on them so as to stop this unsuspecting royal war.
Zhou Can concluded from this that Chen Qi must be lying!
"You don't have to intimidate us here."
Zhou Can held his head high and said with determination, "Even if you are really from the military, you have no right to interfere without the permission of the cabinet!"
Soldiers have the duty to execute orders.
Even if Chen Qi is really from the military department, he should obey the instructions from above and has no right to stop him.
Moreover, in Zhou Can's opinion, how much achievements can Chen Qi make at such a young age?
In today's era where official position is linked to power, it is impossible for him to have the final say!
Chen Qi sneered for a moment, "Who said that if I want to intervene, I need the permission of the cabinet?"
Chen Qi nodded to Suzaku.
Suzaku understood and took out a palm-sized token from his arms, "Master Zhou, look at it, what is this?"
Zhou Can heard this and looked over curiously.
The rest of the people present also stretched their necks and looked intently.
The next moment, Zhou Can's eyes were wide open.
And his complexion went from green to white, then from white to red, and finally turned into a deathly black color.
"This, this, this is..."
"The head of the Zhou family is so knowledgeable, can't he even recognize the 'Tiger Talisman'?"
Suzaku asked with a smile.
Of course Zhou Can knows him.
‘Tiger Talisman’ is a special voucher issued by the military department, used to mobilize troops and generals and issue orders.
Since ancient times, the 'tiger talisman' has been a symbol of the supremacy of the military. Just holding it will make you feel like the emperor is here in person.
There is a saying that 'when you see a talisman, you see the emperor'.
In today's developed era, although the 'Tiger Talisman' has gradually faded out of people's sight, there are still a few armies that still use it.
However, the ordinary 'Tiger Talisman' cannot scare Zhou Can like this.
Because the 'Tiger Talisman' in front of him does not look like a crouching tiger, but a blue dragon that swallows clouds and spits mist, commonly known as the [Dragon Talisman].
Nowadays, among the thousands of military branches in China, only one army is worthy of this [Dragon Talisman].
【Dragon Temple】!
[Dragon Temple], as the most legendary army in China and even in the world today.
It can only take orders from one person.
Zhou Can was so frightened that he almost fainted. He took a few trembling steps back and stared in horror at the young figure sitting on the dragon chair on the stage.
"You, who are you?"
Chen Qi leaned slightly and looked around at the people below with a cold and frightening look.
"You don't change your name when you're working, and you don't change your surname when you sit down."
"I am who I am, Chen Qi."
Simple, clear and concise.
I am who I am, Chen Qi.
Often the simplest words are the most powerful.
In fact, the moment Suzaku took out the [Dragon Talisman], everyone already knew Chen Qi's identity.
However, Chen Qi's answer made everyone feel like they were in a dream, but also felt like they were falling into an abyss.
Chen Qi, the new young head of the Chen royal family.
It turned out to be the Lord of [Dragon Temple], Chen Qi?
