Chapter 2011: Qiqin Resolves the Crisis! (1/2)

Edited by: Michyrr

It was truly a pleasant surprise. An Yaluoshan had initially been rather panicked, not expecting the Sage Emperor to speak up for him.

He was absorbing the Sage Emperor's Dragon Qi, but the Sage Emperor was surprisingly speaking up on his behalf.

It seems that the information was right. The Sage Emperor truly regards him as a thorn in his side! It was worth sending him all those beauties!

An Yaluoshan was overjoyed.

”An Yaluoshan, We have accepted your kindness. Take this pill and rest.”

The 'Sage Emperor' waved a sleeve as he spoke to An Yaluoshan.

”Your Majesty…”

An Yaluoshan 'struggled' to get up, and then he 'furtively' shot a glance at Wang Chong and hesitantly began to speak.

”This lowly subject has always revered the Son of Heaven. When this lowly subject was on the border, he was always thinking that if he could see the Sage Emperor with his own eyes, he could die without regrets. This lowly subject has now paid respects to the Sage Emperor, but then the King of Foreign Lands… he… An Yaluoshan feels unwell. Your Majesty, please permit me to depart first and rest.”

”Your Majesty, please give your permission!”

Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi glared at Wang Chong with crimson eyes as they 'indignantly' spoke, appearing to be fearful and wronged.

”Mm!”

Wang Chong's pupils constricted, and his expression chilled.

”Want to leave?!”

He was well aware that his palm just now had not been that strong, and An Yaluoshan's injuries were far less severe than they seemed.

He was clearly trying to use this chance to leave the capital without any further difficulties.

In the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, with all the countries gathered together, he had offered some so-called 'dragon pearl' that helped 'Third Son Xuan' suppress the Sage Emperor, and then he had stolen the Sage Emperor's Dragon Qi right in front of Wang Chong and all the other officials. After committing such treasonous actions, did he really think that he could just disregard all the officials and leave as he pleased?

Absurd!

Had he been asked?

”Mm, very well. You may withdraw!”

The 'Sage Emperor' didn't think about it much before giving his agreement.

An Yaluoshan and his men were delighted to hear this. Gao Shang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly prodded Yan Zhuang with an elbow.

”Let's go!”

They could not remain here for long. Though their plan had been ruined, they had not come away fruitless.

As long as they could smoothly return to Youzhou, they would be as a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky!

”Your Majesty is kind and magnanimous! My utmost gratitude, Your Majesty!”

On the other side, An Yaluoshan acted like he had been relieved of a heavy burden, and he lowered his head, appearing on the verge of tears from gratitude.

”Your Majesty!” A familiar voice that was utterly devoid of emotion rang out.

An Yaluoshan, Gao Shang, and Cui Qianyou all trembled in shock. They turned and saw that Wang Chong had stepped forward, his expression confident as he bowed.

”…This lowly subject also feels rather tired. If there are no other matters, this lowly subject wishes to withdraw early!”

Wang Chong didn't even glance at Cui Qianyou and the others as he spoke.

But his words made the eyes of Cui Qianyou and Gao Shang twitch in shock.

If Wang Chong were allowed to leave with them, they wouldn't even be able to dream about leaving the capital today.

”Hahaha, King of Foreign Lands, the Andong Protector-General is injured. You see that he has even vomited on the ground. But there is no need for you to leave as well!”

Someone heartily laughed. On the left side of the 'U', Prime Minister Li Linfu stroked his black beard and gracefully walked past his table.

”The King of Foreign Lands is one of the greatest meritorious officials of our Great Tang, one of His Majesty's trusted aides. Your Highness needs to only look at your seat to understand. Moreover, the feast has only just begun, and there are so many foreign dignitaries here. Your Highness is an important official of our Great Tang, so how could you just leave?”

Li Linfu was smiling so warmly that anyone who didn't know the truth would think that he was good friends with the Wang Clan.

”Prime Minister, what is the meaning of this? Wang Chong is a martial official. There should be no need for me to entertain the guests, yes?”

Wang Chong coldly glanced at Li Linfu.

Li Linfu's honeyed mouth disguised the sword behind his back. He left little incriminating evidence, and he would never deliberately expose himself to deal with someone. In front of all the officials, he would always keep up his friendly appearance, but after helping An Yaluoshan, it seemed that he no longer feared Wang Chong.
