With every second that passes, the depressing atmosphere becomes more intense.
Everyone could see the anger in the heart of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the ministers were helpless. If they wanted to break the situation at this time, the combatants must not only be stronger than Gong Yangjin, but also be of similar age. Where can they find them?
?
So everyone could only be anxious, many people were sweating on their foreheads, and they didn't even dare to look at the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty who was in the middle, but just lowered their heads.
This extremely embarrassing atmosphere was clearly felt by the palace maids who were standing by each desk. The eyes of the women who originally respected Gong Yangjin became complicated.
Gong Yangjin stood in the middle, his face was calm, but he was laughing in his heart, and his body was trembling slightly.
He knew that his deeds of single-handedly defeating the face of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would definitely spread after today, enough to make him famous in the five dynasties and become the top being among the young generation.
All of this is naturally attributed to Qi Yuanhao's methods, which subtly combined Dong Zhou's face with the situation and tied it to his personal force, making him stand out.
Although he was very sorry for Qi Yuanhao, Gong Yangjin couldn't help but secretly look at Su Zhilan. When he saw the enchanting concubine's face smiling and her eyes shining as she looked at him, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
On the other side, Feng Wu seemed to be watching, but in fact she was anxious. Today's plan was to assassinate Qi Yuanhao, but looking at this situation, the banquet could not go on. Doesn't it mean that the plan would end without any problem?
It would be a pity to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Feng Wu's beautiful eyes flashed, but she racked her brains and couldn't think of anything for the time being.
Just as the banquet fell into an awkward silence, Dongfang Lie quietly said a few words to an official on a desk on the left.
Dongfang Changkong and Dongfang Lie were also invited today, but they were very low-key and happened to arrive at the same time as Qi Yuanhao and others, so many people ignored them.
After that, they all took their places. Dongfang Changkong and Dongfang Lie mingled with the people around them. They didn't show any excessive behavior. In addition, there were too many people at the scene, so Zhuo Mufeng hadn't noticed them yet.
The official was shocked and looked at Dongfang Lie hesitantly. Dongfang Lie hummed, showing great dignity.
Nowadays, many officials in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have risen through the ranks through connections with the Dongfang family, and this official is one of them. He did not dare to disobey Dongfang Lie's order, so he hesitated for a few seconds, and under Dongfang Lie's silent coercion, he had no choice but to
stood up.
This stop was extremely eye-catching and attracted the attention of many people nearby.
The official gritted his teeth and raised his hands to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Emperor: "Your Majesty, Young Master Gongyang is young and has extremely high martial arts skills. He is a rare talent in the world of martial arts."
Everyone looked at this man as if he were a fool. Is this guy mentally ill? Your Majesty just wanted to chop the ram into pieces, but you still praised him. Don't you think he died quickly enough?
Sure enough, a sharp light flashed across the eyes of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The official who spoke felt his mouth was dry and his heart was beating violently. He quickly said: "However, I, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, also have a large number of heroes, and the most outstanding one happened to come to the scene. I believe that as long as he takes action, he will definitely win."
I can compete with Gongyang Shaoxia."
After speaking, the official bowed to the end, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he cursed Dongfang Lie half to death in his heart.
The scene was silent for a moment, and the officials seemed a little unbelievable. But the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with bright eyes, asked word by word: "Who is Aiqing referring to?"
The official who spoke quickly said: "It is none other than my number one genius in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the mad dragon Zhuo Mufeng!" The devil knows who Zhuo Mufeng is, but Dongfang Liefei told him that there was nothing he could do.
The ministers knew about the Tianxing Ranking, but they did not know whether the masters on the ranking knew Yang Batian because of their relationship with the old prime minister. Therefore, when they heard the name Zhuo Mufeng, they all showed doubts.
But the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had a look of surprise on his face. How could he forget this son?
According to Cui Baojian's report, this son has already secretly joined Tianzhao, which is equivalent to being a member of the imperial court. This time he saved Su Zhilan and made great achievements, so he is a usable talent.
However, the excitement had just risen and was extinguished by the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. According to the intelligence, Zhuo Mufeng's strength could not be Gong Yangjin's opponent.
In the heart of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Zhuo Mufeng was regarded as an advantageous chess piece for him to control the world, and he should maintain the opponent's undefeated momentum.
If he were defeated by Gong Yangjin here, not only would it damage Dongzhou's face, it would also have a negative impact on Zhuo Mufeng himself. But damn, Zhuo Mufeng's name had already been mentioned.
If he vetoed it, wouldn't it be a shame to admit that the genius of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was not as good as that of the Northern Qi Dynasty? This would be a slap in the face to himself.
His eyes passed over the dazzling fallen feather pattern. At this time, it was no longer a problem with the pattern, but a problem with Eastern Zhou's face.
Compared with this, Zhuo Mufeng's personal gains and losses are nothing. What's more, without Zhuo Mufeng, he still has the confidence to control the world.
Having made up his mind, the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty no longer hesitated, but looked at the official with a cold gaze, so cold that the latter was trembling even if he didn't raise his head.
After sitting down cautiously, the official kept wiping his forehead with his sleeve, causing more and more cold sweat. Dongfang Lie, who was not far away from him, showed a sinister smile.
Although he couldn't kill Zhuo Mufeng for the time being, it didn't stop him from taking advantage of the situation and borrowing the ram's knife to rub the opponent's energy hard.
And this is just the first step. In his plan, what awaits Zhuo Mufeng will be an abyss!
"What do you want to do?" A voice came into Dongfang Lie's ears.
Dongfang Lie had already expected it and hurriedly replied: "To be honest with the third elder, my subordinates had a dispute with the other party in the Wanhua Tomb, so...that's why I wanted to set up the other party."
This is the cleverness of Dongfang Lie. He knows Dongfang Changkong very well and knows that prevaricating will only make the other party suspicious and arouse the other party's anger. It is better to tell the truth.
Dongfang Changkong gave Dongfang Lie a deep look and said nothing. In his eyes, Zhuo Mufeng, no matter how outstanding he was, was just a young boy, and his growth would threaten the Dongfang family to a certain extent.
Although the threat is not great.
So since Dongfang Lie is ready to deal with the opponent, he will not block it.
At this time, the majestic voice of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Emperor spread throughout the audience: "Where is Zhuo Mufeng?"
Zhuo Mufeng was completely confused when he was named. At first, he heard that someone recommended him to appear, and he was also a high-ranking official. He couldn't believe that he was so famous until he saw Dongfang Lie.
With Zhuo Mufeng's mind, he easily outlined the process and guessed that it must be Dongfang Lie. This old guy wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
He secretly sneered in his heart, Zhuo Shaoxia was full of murderous intent. But now that the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty personally named him, he couldn't refuse, so he could only stand up and walk out of the desk.
For a moment, all eyes fell on Zhuo Mufeng.
Clothed as white as snow, with jade trees facing the wind, this is everyone's first impression of this number one martial arts genius in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The light breeze blew two strands of silk in front of Zhuo Mufeng's forehead. He cupped his fists and said, "Zhuo Mufeng, a common man, has met your Majesty." His voice was deep and strong, with a unique magnetism.
A flash of deep appreciation flashed across the eyes of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Everyone is a visual animal, and the emperor is no exception. At least in terms of appearance and temperament, Zhuo Mufeng has not lost the face of Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty said loudly: "Zhuo Mufeng, I heard that you are a rising star in our martial arts world in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The number one young swordsman in the Northern Qi Dynasty is here today. Although you are very young, I still want to ask you if you have the courage to spar with me."
Ichiban?"
These words are not simple. They point out Zhuo Mufeng's disadvantage due to his age. Once Zhuo Mufeng loses in the competition, it will not cause him too much loss of face.
Even conversely, if Zhuo Mufeng could persist for a longer period of time, it would actually increase his and Dong Zhou's reputation.
Zhuo Mufeng thought to himself, you have said this, how can I still refuse? He said with determination on his face: "What your majesty said is exactly what the common people want. In fact, the common people have already been itching, but they are just afraid that they will miss important things, so
I hesitated a little bit."
When it comes to lying with open eyes, Zhuo Mufeng doesn't fear anyone. What he means is that the common people have long wanted to fight, but they don't dare to overstep due to their status. This fully expresses his determination to defend His Majesty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, this guy never thought about going to fight. If he hadn't been called out suddenly, he would have been watching the show until the end.
The three palace masters on one side looked at each other in confusion. This boy had been drinking just now, and it seemed that he had no intention of taking action? Could it be that his cultivation has reached the point where he cannot express his emotions and anger?
But at the same time, the three of them were very worried, because they knew very well that Zhuo Mufeng could never be Gong Yangjin's opponent, and this battle would only bring humiliation to themselves.
"It's normal to lose. As long as this kid can hold on a few more moves, he'll make a profit." Le Qian said through his voice.
The master of Baishui Mansion said with worry: "I think this boy has never been defeated by his peers since he debuted. This is his great advantage and can condense his invincible momentum. If he loses today, his previous efforts will be greatly reduced."
.”
The Lord of Chihuo Palace frowned and said: "The situation is stronger than the person, there is no other way. Besides, who in the world has not tasted the taste of failure. Maybe this is a good thing for him."
Qin Keqing and others also looked worried, but they could not stop this.
"Zhuo Mufeng? Haha, you are no match for me." Gong Yangjin smiled wantonly. He had long wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but he didn't expect that the other party dared to come up to him in full public view. No wonder he was so cruel.
"I haven't fought, so who knows the outcome." Zhuo Mufeng said calmly.
To the left, Qiu Rongshang clenched her hands tightly and stared at the field without blinking, looking extremely nervous. The Eleventh Prince on the side glanced at him, and couldn't help but cast a scrutinizing gaze on Zhuo Mufeng. I, the Prince,
I want to see how many kilograms the so-called crazy dragon weighs.
"You drank." Qi Yuanhao turned his head and looked at Su Zhilan beside him: "I remember that you rarely drink."
Su Zhilan smiled sweetly, and lightly dipped her red lips into the wine in the cup: "The wine in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is famous all over the world, and there are great battles to enjoy. It would be a pity not to drink."
