Just as King Yan was about to say something, he heard the eunuch outside shout loudly: "Mo family's Jin Zi Jing Ke is here to see you!" With this shout, the noisy imperial court immediately quietened down. All of the Wen Cheng's generals tidied themselves up, and held up the jade scroll with their hands in a respectful manner, and all of them, without exception, glanced at the person who walked in. Because that Young General Mo's speech just now was so unfathomably profound, of course, none of them were not filled with curiosity.
The people who walked into the hall were all dressed in strange attire. Some of them were wearing formal robes as they strolled in, some were wearing silver scaled tiger armors, some were dressed in shabby clothes, and they seemed to be in a disorderly and disorderly manner as they walked together. The leader of the group had handsome eyes, eyebrows, and a white robe. The sword in his hand exuded an unrestrained aura, shocking everyone.
"I am Jing Ke from the Mo family. Greetings, King Yan." When Jing Ke stepped under the throne of the Yan King, he cupped his fist and bowed, his words were neat and orderly, his expression was calm.
However, they did not expect the son of the Mo family to be so young and handsome, and could not help but to feel that he was a little too young and tender. Only the one who sat next to the King of Yan did not say anything, he sat upright, his expression calm, but half of his face was covered with a bronze mask, and they could not see his true face.
"Big brother, you are too polite," Yan Wang Xi waved his hand to show Jing Ke to be polite, while carefully looking him up and down, he saw that he looked like a scholar, and then felt a little awkward, "A handsome young master like you, is that the son of the Mo family?"
"I have drawn too much attention from too many people. Initially, I was unable to accomplish my important task. However, in the face of danger, I received orders from my teacher to temporarily replace me as the son of a great clan." Seeing that the King of Yan didn't believe him, Jing Ke explained himself.
Oh, that's the case, "King Yan heard Jing Ke's explanation and he had an idea in his heart, he guessed that the son of the Mo family was so young, and must be pretty young, so he casually said," I heard from the oligarchs that you not only obtained the position of chief of the chess conference, but also saw through the Qin's spies and saved many of the anti-Qin scholars, is that true?
"All of the seniors in the competition are in no way inferior to me. As for the matter of seizing the high position and gaining knowledge of the law, I was fortunate enough to obtain it." In the face of King Yan's joyful questioning, Jing Ke didn't want to make a great contribution. On the contrary, he very lightly made it sound like he had been lucky enough to bring it along with him.
In his opinion, even if he was crowned as the great general of the Yanzhou Empire, he still needed to have the domineering aura and might of a general. And this refined man in front of him, from the looks of it, didn't seem to have killed any chickens or pigs, so how could he possibly become the commander of the three armies? So he smiled and said, "So it was just a fluke. Let the oligarchs say, how could the Mo family be so magical? They are nothing more than infamy." As he spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at Ju Wu, with the intention of accusing him of exaggerating his words and teasing the king.
When Ju Wu, the Prince of Yan, saw how the Yan King was looking at him, he felt both indignant and anxious. He muttered to himself in his heart: Young Master Jing, you've troubled this old man with your humble words. But he also naturally understood that Jing Ke had a great talent, of course he wasn't willing to give up so easily, so he wanted to explain it all to Yan Wang Xi, but before he could say anything, someone in the audience suddenly stood up and said, "In terms of seeing injustice and drawing swords to help the Jianghu, the Mo family can be considered as a righteous sect, but in terms of tactics and tactics to lead the army, they cannot be compared to those reckless men in the Jianghu, so in the opinion of others, I'm afraid that what I said was too excessive."
Ju Wu looked over to the source of the voice and saw that the man was dressed in armor and a silver helmet with eagle feathers. The man was none other than the Yan Emperor. Since the Yan Kingdom had enjoyed themselves so much, there were no more powerful generals left. Thus, the position of general naturally fell to the people of the world. When the people present heard that the king wanted to hold a coronation ceremony and bestowed the title of General Long Yu to the men of the martial world, they felt that it was a great humiliation to him. Obviously, he did not want to forcibly take over the command of the three armies, so he followed the Yan Wang Xi's attitude and stood up to state his attitude.
"Yes, the general's words are reasonable. The matter of leading the army to war is not something that a man of the martial world can do. Young Master Ju, I'm afraid you've misjudged me this time." The king heard the drama and felt more confident in his judgment. So he started to reprimand Ju Wu to strengthen his opinion.
"I …" Ju Wu was aggrieved by Yan Wangxi's sudden change in attitude, but he didn't know where to start. He only spat out one word before choking.
"If you want to protect my Great Yan Mountain Temple, you need people like General Xin who have the courage and foresight to do it for you." You need people like General Xin to protect my Great Yan Mountain Temple, you need people like you who have the courage and foresight to do it for you. Yan Wang Xi didn't wait for Ju Wu's explanation and directly blurted it out. He wanted to let go of the coronation ceremony.
Some nodded their heads in agreement, some shook their heads and sighed, while the ones who could not hold themselves back the most were Di Kun, Thief, Zhu Hai, Mao Yun, Xue Lun and the others who followed Jing Ke to the imperial court. Di Kun originally wanted to get up, but Jing Ke placed two fingers on his shoulder and whispered to him: "Martial Uncle Tian Guang has said that everything is done in the interests of righteousness, and should be done calmly and not arbitrarily as senior brother." Only after hearing Jing Ke's whispered words did he fail to take any action.
Among all of them, only Zhu Hai was the most irritable, he was originally unable to control himself, and when he heard Yan Wang Xi speak in such a muddled tone, a fire burned in his heart, and he immediately shouted out loud: "You, Yan Wang, do not know how powerful my son is, how could he be compared to the mediocre official in your hall, and actually look down on us like this, and make us faint! "Jun!"
Before Zhu Hai could finish his words, Xue Lun had already covered his mouth. Luckily, Xue Lun's hands were quick and quick, and he didn't let Zhu Hai clearly say the last word, otherwise, he would have been punished by King Yan.
"Your Majesty, the coronation ceremony has already been agreed upon. How can you go back on your word and break your promise to the world?!" Ju Wu saw that Yan Wang Xi had followed up so lightly, his heart was burning with anxiety. He immediately went to the front and admonished him.
As soon as he said this, the crowd's reaction became even more intense. The Yan Kingdom Hall was like a group of hundreds of flies dancing in the air.
He thought that he had indeed agreed to give the champion the title of Windlord, and now that he was in disagreement, the officials would definitely discuss about it. However, he did not think that the scholarly Jing Ke would be able to lead the three armies, thus he fell into a dilemma. After some thought, a plan suddenly formed in his mind. He said to the crowd, "Everyone, please be respectful. "The Mo family's greatest son, Jing Ke, was able to stand out in the Cards of the Chess Sword, and many thought that he must have some outstanding qualities, and therefore wanted to reward him for his achievements."
When everyone heard that Yan Wang Xi had a change of heart, they all became quiet, waiting for Yan Wang Xi's so-called reward.
Yan Wang was delighted, and waved his hand slowly: "Pass down the command: Mo family's greatest son, Jing Ke, to seize the position of chief of the sword competition, only a tiger general would be able to do so, and will now be conferred the title of Grand General of the Yan Nation. After entering Yan City, the generals were given the orders to train their troops and horses, to reorganize their troops and to train themselves, and to have great success. They had also led their soldiers to the outer city, and had accomplished many miraculous things in order to become the great general of the Dragon Resisting Mountain, taking charge of the Tiger Talismans and commanding the three armies to defend the enemies. "
He had not only kept his promise, but also firmly held the military power of the three armies in the hands of his favorite generals. Although Zhu Hai and the others were not convinced of this, but after all, the nobles and the people were above them, and it was hard to say what they wanted to say, but none of the officials in the hall dared to speak out against him, and so they did not make any noise for a while.
"Everyone, if there is no objection, then we shall agree to withdraw from the imperial court." Seeing that no one dared to object, the Yan King took the opportunity to disperse in the imperial court.
"Withdraw!" After the eunuch shouted loudly, the officials dispersed in order. When Zhu Hai saw that the civil officials in the hall had all dispersed, he said to Jing Ke: "Brat, this Yan King is clearly a muddle-headed ruler, he actually acts in such a biased manner, all the brothers are acting on your behalf."
"What Brother Zhu Hai said is true, Big Brother and all the other brothers came all the way here to work for him, and he, King Yan, is actually so muddle-headed, it makes all the other brothers' hearts tremble." On the side, Thief Sheng also followed Zhu Hai as he said unfairly.
"Don't be impatient, brothers. This place is not a place for gossip. We'll discuss this when we get back." Jing Ke didn't have much of a reaction to this action of Yan Wang Xi. Of course, he knew that the others wouldn't be willing to accept it, but the first thing he had to do was to pacify them.
Seeing Jing Ke speak in such a manner, everyone did not say anything else. They then prepared to leave the palace hall together with Jing Ke. However, just as they were a few steps away, they heard someone call out from behind them, "Heroes, please stay here for now." When the crowd heard the words of the person behind them, they turned to look at the Prime Minister, only to see that the one who called out for them was none other than the Yan Kingdom's Minister, Ji Wu.
Jing Ke looked at the panting Ju Wu and asked in surprise, "Ju Xiang, why are you in such a hurry?"
While he was exhaling, he explained to Jing Ke, "Young Hero Jing, someone asked me to bring a message to meet with Young Hero in the rear palace."
"Oh?" When Jing Ke heard this, he was first surprised, but then he asked, "Who is it?"
"There's no need for Young Hero to ask. We'll know once we get there." Ju Wu didn't answer Jing Ke's question, he just wanted Jing Ke to meet with the mysterious man in the back hall.
Seeing that Ju Wu didn't want to divulge the information so easily, Jing Ke turned to Zhu Hai and the others and said: "Brothers, let's go back first. When I've received the invitation, I'll go back and meet up with everyone."
"We obey." After the Mo family received Jing Ke's order, they all clasped their fists towards Jing Ke and went back to their own guesthouses.
And why did Ju Wu urge them to stay when Jing Ke and his men were about to leave? It turned out that when Jing Ke had just been appointed to the palace, among that group of ministers, only one person, who wore a bronze mask, had carefully witnessed Jing Ke's every word and action. Although he hadn't said anything, no one knew that in his heart, this person was already feeling waves of pleasant surprise.
Jing Ke followed Ju Wu slowly in, all the way to the back of the palace. At this time, Yan Wang had already gone to the back palace to look for wine and have fun, and the officials had all left for their own residences. There was no one else in the back palace apart from a few attendants standing in front. And in that palace hall, there was a person wearing a brocade robe, with a gold-plated jade belt around his waist. He stood in front of the palace, but that person was standing with his back facing Jing Ke.
Jing Ke stared at that figure's posture, as though he had an impression of it. If one carefully thought about it, that person was the one who had just appeared under the thrones of the Yan Emperor, and at that time, there were many other officials present in the hall, none of them paying attention.
"Young master, the son of the Mo family, Jing Ke, has arrived." When he saw the man, he immediately greeted him with a fist strike.
Even though Jing Ke didn't know the identity of the bronze masked man, but from the respectful attitude that the Minister of State Ju Wu showed, he guessed that this man's identity was also that of a noble king.
"Understood, you can leave now. Let the servants at the entrance leave as well." The bronze masked man didn't turn around, he only waved his hand slightly, then casually dismissed Ju Wu.
"Okay." "Yes." Ju Wu responded. He led a few servants to close the doors to the hall and left.
After Ju Wu left, the bronze masked man suddenly and impatiently turned around, charging straight towards Jing Ke, grabbing both of his hands, kneeling on the ground, he said: "Yan Dan greets Benefactor!"
When Jing Ke saw him bow like this, he was immediately shocked, as if he had suddenly become that monk. Previously, he thought that this bronze masked man was definitely a noble prince, but now, he suddenly kneeled in front of him and performed such a great courtesy. He was a bit out of control and did not know what to do. He supported the bronze masked man with all his might and said, "Male … "Young master has gold under his knees, such a huge gift from you, Jing Ke really can't take it."
"If there is no benefactor, then there will not be the Yan Dan today. The benefactor will not forget the Yan Dan for the rest of my life!" However, the bronze masked man was so persistent, he refused to get up.
"Young master, ever since I was born, I, Jing Ke, have never met Yan Ji in the future. This is my first time visiting him, and you have been continuously treating me as a benefactor. What should I do?" Young Master must have recognised the wrong person? " Seeing that Yan Dan still refused to get up, Jing Ke reminded him again with good intentions.
