"The king has arrived!"
As he finished speaking, he saw King Han with a fat belly, bloodshot eyes, and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he had drunk too much and had a beautiful crown on his head. He slowly walked over under the escort of many palace maids and eunuchs.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
King Han had just entered the banquet hall when a sound as vast as a bell rang out from within.
In this era, there was no such thing as kneeling down, only lowering one's head and bowing!
Only Qin Mu raised his head to look at Han Wangan. His pitch-black pupils suddenly contracted as he thought,'This is Han Wangan? From the looks of it…it was indeed similar to the description in Tian Jiu.”
Han Wangan was the monarch of Han Country. Although he had both civil and military officials, he was fatuous and indulged in beauty. He especially doted on Lady Mingzhu, or more precisely, the 'Blue Sea Tide Demon'. He was often drugged by her and lived in her dreams. He had never really' touched 'Lady Mingzhu.
It could be said to be sad and lamentable!
"Beloved ministers, please rise. Since today is a banquet, please take your seats.”At this moment, King Han sat down on his throne and waved his robe as he spoke indifferently.
As soon as he said that, the ministers waited for Ji Wuye and Zhang Kedi to sit down before slowly returning to their seats.
"Father, Ninth Brother is still not here.”At this moment, the Crown Prince stood up and clasped his hands together.
Although the words were short, each sentence could be said to be a killing blade.
As everyone knew, today's banquet was held for Han Fei, but he hadn't arrived yet…Wasn't this a joke?
Especially since King Han had already arrived.
As a subject and the ninth son, wouldn't Han Fei offend the king?
As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a discussion among the ministers.
"Eh? That's right…Why isn't the Ninth Young Master back yet? Could it be that we were delayed on the way?"
"It's over…Now that the king is blaming us, the ninth young master will definitely suffer heavy punishment.”
"Isn't that so…Sigh, after studying outside for so many years, he's finally coming back, and he even dared to delay such a major event. What did he learn in the scholarly faction!”
"Don't talk nonsense. Perhaps the Ninth Young Master encountered something interesting on the way and is preparing a gift for His Majesty!”
Little did they know that just as they were discussing softly, Qin Mu had an expression of 'it has nothing to do with me' as he sipped on his wine alone. His heart was filled with disappointment and abandonment towards the Han Country's situation.
The ruler of a country was here, how could he make such a bold judgment?
How dare you discuss the matters of the royal family?
Furthermore, Han Wangan actually indulged them like this. Where was his authority as a monarch? A sense of reverence?
It was not without reason that the Han Kingdom was a weak country among the seven kingdoms!
"Qin Mu, do you think…something will happen to my Ninth Brother?”At this moment, Princess Red Lotus, who was beside him, asked suspiciously.
Han Fei was her ninth brother, and he was also her most beloved and kindest brother since she was young…She was full of worries about the current situation.
As he spoke, his watery eyes stared at Qin Mu, waiting for his reply.
For some reason, she trusted him from the bottom of her heart.
When Qin Mu heard that, he smiled slightly and laughed softly." Don't worry, your Ninth Brother will definitely be fine... Even if he is, he can turn danger into safety.”
Han Fei?
He could be said to be a spoiled child of his generation!
Him?
How could there be anything wrong?
In terms of intelligence, he was one of the best in the scholarly faction, but in terms of battle prowess, he was considered average. However, the sword he carried-the Reverse Scale-was a lethal weapon that could host a powerful sword spirit.
Shockingly, this weapon could protect its owner!
He killed all the enemies who hurt Han Fei.
Therefore, Han Fei would definitely be fine!
When she finished speaking, Princess Red Lotus heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest that hadn't fully developed. She then picked the biggest grape and handed it to Qin Mu with a smile.
Huh?
Actually, Han Wangan had already noticed Qin Mu and Princess Red Lotus. When he saw this scene, he was stunned.
This was because Hong Lian's personality could be said to be the most mischievous, causing him a headache.
However, he did not expect that there was a gentle side to it!
However, he immediately reacted and coughed softly, causing the ministers to quieten down.
"My dear ministers, there is no need to worry. It rained heavily yesterday, and my son was delayed on his way. According to his schedule, he will arrive today no matter what…Why don't we start the banquet first?”
"Yes! We will obey the king's orders!"
"Yes! We will obey the king's orders!"
Many officials stood up respectfully and clasped their hands together. With Han Wangan's gesture, they returned to their original seats.
Immediately after, palace maids dressed in gorgeous clothes and with different personalities served beautiful delicacies and fine wine in front of the officials. There were also palace maids with superior looks who danced in a pleasing dance in the spacious area in the center.
In every corner of the hall, there were all kinds of accompaniment. It was as if the scene of the 'Heavenly Peach Banquet' was in full bloom.
Many ministers tasted the fine wine and swept their lustful eyes over the dancers, revealing a 'wretched' expression. However…even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to act rashly in front of the king.
On the other hand, Qin Mu was as calm as water, and his eyes were clear and flawless. He was still conversing with Princess Red Lotus. No one knew what they were talking about, but it always made Princess Red Lotus smile.
This scene was reflected in the eyes of everyone present. They all had different emotions: surprise, anger, confusion, hatred, and joy.
However, no matter what their mentality was, as long as King Han did not speak, they did not dare to make any comments or criticize him. They could only be treated as 'spectators' and could not speak!
Time slowly passed!
After an unknown amount of time, Han Wangan waved his hand lightly." Leave!”
As soon as he said this, the accompaniment stopped abruptly. The dancers stopped their movements and dispersed, leaving the banquet hall.
At this moment, many officials raised their heads and stared at the King of Han, quietly waiting for the King to speak!
They knew that this banquet was not only to welcome the Ninth Young Master back to the country, but also to test the ability of the person recommended by the open land.
From a big perspective, this was to recruit talents for the Han country and strengthen the overall national strength. From a small perspective, the father-in-law was helping his daughter choose a good son-in-law.
However, in reality, this was a secret contest between Zhang Kai and Ji Wuye.
Next, there would surely be a battle.
"You are the personal disciple of the ghost guy, Qin Mu?”
