"Ahem, young man, listen to what I say, it will be much safer if you stay here. It's too dangerous outside." A rickety old man came tremblingly from outside, although the old man looked very weak.
, but Li Mu could sense the dangerous aura coming from the old man. This aura was not brought to Li Mu even by the emperor of the Divine Sword Empire.
"Grandpa Emperor! Why are you here?" Wu Di, the emperor of the Excalibur Empire, heard this voice and turned to look at the old man.
"Why don't you come? My Wu family's divine sword was almost taken away by an outsider." The old man looked a little excited.
"Hey, hey, hey, old man, what do you mean?" Li Mu suddenly became unhappy.
"It's not interesting. I'm just lamenting the incompetence of juniors like myself." The old man almost pointed at Wu Di's nose and taunted him, "Listen to me, stay here for one day, and you will know your choice after this."
"Can I understand this as a threat?" Li Mu's aura quietly spread out, aiming at the old man who appeared inexplicably in front of him.
"Young man, I'm just a dying person. It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. No one can force you." After saying a bunch of incomprehensible words, he walked away tremblingly, leaving a confused look on his face.
Li Mu and Wu Di and his men who didn't know what they were thinking.
"Are all people in this world like this? Can I ask when the banquet will start tomorrow?" Looking at the gradually leaving figures, Li Mu didn't know why he suddenly decided to stay.
"Tomorrow evening, I will send out a group post today to give people from the other two countries some time to come and attend this banquet."
…
"Xiao Bai, do you think it's right or wrong for me to stay?" Li Mu looked at the guards and maids passing by from time to time outside the window, hesitating a little.
"Master, there is a 100% chance that something unexpected will happen if you stay, but I can't calculate it〒▽〒".
"Don't do this with me. It's so annoying. I shouldn't have agreed to stay for that damn dinner. No, I shouldn't have been curious about the Excalibur Trial in the first place. Otherwise, it would be dangerous to be so cool and unrestrained outside now.
,troublesome,confused.”
"Master, should I laugh at you at this time?"
"You dare! However, this emperor and the so-called grandpa emperor always make me feel weird."
"Deng Deng"
Just when Li Mu was thinking about the disharmony that made him feel, there were two knocks on the door.
"I didn't expect that as the majestic head of a country, he would knock on the door himself." Li Mu looked at the visitors outside the door with some surprise.
"What, are you surprised?" Wu Di walked in very naturally and sat down.
"It's really unexpected. I always feel that you, the emperor, don't have any reputation." Li Mu didn't even care about this emperor who seemed so easy-going. After all, the entire country belonged to him.
"Tsk, so what about the emperor? It's better to be an ordinary person. There are so many restrictions, so many rules, and a lot of things to worry about." Wu Di poured a cup of tea by himself.
"After being the emperor for so many years, you are now telling me that you no longer want to be?"
"So what, the longer I stay in this position, the less worthy I feel." I don't know what Wu Di is thinking.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"You have to know that the higher you are, the more things you understand."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"A good thing? Hey, when you understand this, there are a lot of stubborn old people forcing you not to change everything. They want you to stay here forever. It's very frustrating, okay?"
Wu Di shook his head and sneered.
"I'm curious. It seems like it's the first time we've met?"
"So what, at least I can know that you are in the same camp as me."
"Just because I got Xue Ji's approval?"
"This is just one of them. Someone told me about you, and I believe his feelings." Wu Di took a sip of the tea he had just brewed and looked at Li Mu with a smile.
"Someone told you about me? Wu Wei!?" Li Mu thought of the lord of Biluo City.
"That's right", Wu Di nodded.
"He and you are brothers?"
"He is my biological brother."
"Tsk, I can't tell." Li Mu looked at Wu Di, who looked very elegant in front of him, and recalled Wu Wei's rugged figure. He didn't expect that the two of them were actually brothers, "He said I was a good person, so you just
believe?"
"Why not? Although there are not many people I can trust in this great imperial city, he is definitely not on this list."
"It's an unexpected harmony, but what does this have to do with me? As the emperor of the Excalibur Empire, you can't come to my place secretly just to chat with me, right?"
"Of course not. Since you got Xue Ji, you should already know about that thing." Wu Di gradually became serious.
“So what if you know”
"Now that you know the truth, you should know the importance of that thing in your hand. They will not let you leave this imperial city with that Xue Ji, no matter who it is."
"Including you?" Li Mu squinted his eyes and looked warily at Wu Di, who had a calm face.
"Yes, including me"
"So you want me to hand over Xue Ji to you? I can't do that. Even though I agreed in a haphazard manner, I must do what I promised. Although I haven't hooked up with him, I don't want to break my promise.
"Na"
"I have no intention of wanting Xueji, I just want to tell you that if you want to leave, tonight is the best chance."
"Oh? Don't you want me to take Xue Ji away?"
"So what, after all, it is left by the predecessors, and the things of the past should be buried in time. Relying on this kind of thing, huh, stupid." Wu Di seemed to be very disdainful of the back-ups left by Wu Qi,
"And if you don't leave, how come those disgusting things will jump out one by one?"
"Having confidence is a good thing." Li Mu suddenly understood what he was thinking and was shocked, "But aren't you afraid of losing it?"
Li Mu, who had seen that tragic war with his own eyes, knew very well the danger of that thing. Even if it was only one-third, it could easily make the situation get out of control.
"Only the incompetent will make excuses for their failure." Wu Di is still so calm and relaxed.
"Then should I wish you success?"
"There's no need for blessings. This kind of thing means nothing to me, but I'll give you a piece of advice. If you want to leave, go north."
"To the north? Why, that place is not accessible to ordinary people."
"Because the Three Kingdoms are going to be in chaos." Wu Di looked at the sky outside the window as if he had seen something.
