Not long after Li Chen received the news, Wan Tongtian called Li Chen to go to the Main Hall.
Needless to say, Li Chen also knew that since he had rejected Wan Tongtian's bestowal, it would seem that Princess Jiayi's words didn't really know what was good for him.
In the great hall, Jia Yi was still requesting Wan Tongtian to retract his orders.
"I don't want to marry General Peng Ke, please retract your order, royal father!"
When Li Chen walked in, he only saw Princess Jiayi kneeling in the great hall, her eyes were red, obviously she had already cried once.
Seeing Li Chen enter, Princess Jiayi raised his head and looked at Li Chen, the look in his eyes seemingly filled with endless weakness and pleading, instantly smashing into Li Chen's heart.
Li Chen froze slightly, and then, a smile appeared on Wan Tongtian's face: "Young Master Li, you're here ?"
Hearing Wan Tongtian's voice, Li Chen returned to normal, then laughed lightly: "I wonder why His Majesty is looking for me?"
If Wan Tongtian did not mention anything about Jia Yi, then Li Chen would not think that he knew either.
"I had originally wanted to marry Jia Yi to General Xiong Ke, but actually told me that she already had a family background!" Wan Tongtian's voice was very gentle, as light as chatting with Li Chen. However, Li Chen felt that Wan Tongtian was like a poisonous snake eyeing its prey, unhurried and unhurried.
Li Chen smiled lightly and said, "I presume that Princess Jiayi is still young and inexperienced, and mistook the other emotions for liking them!"
How could it be so easy to plot against him? Li Chen's smile did not decrease, he only thought that Jia Yi was not related to him at all.
"I really wish it was like what Young Master Li said, it's just that Jia Yi was tempted by that man, Young Master Li, how do you think we should punish him?"
Wan Tongtian squinted his eyes slightly. Although there was a smile on his face, that smile did not reach his eyes.
Li Chen looked at Wan Tongtian fearlessly: "I am not from the Beiming Nation, I do not understand the laws of the Beiming Nation very well."
Not only did he not give a direct answer to Wan Tongtian, he had even told Wan Tongtian that he was a member of the Southern Domain, that he could sit on equal footing with Wan Tongtian with his status, and that he could even suppress the Beiming Nation with his strength. There was no need to care what Wan Tongtian thought or thought about it.
Even if he and Jia Yi had anything, Wan Tongtian could not punish him!
Wan Tongtian's eyes slightly narrowed, he could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Li Chen's words, but he was also very unwilling, what Li Chen had said really moved his heart, if he just allowed Li Chen to leave like that, he would really be very unwilling!
"Oh right, I have come here today to inform Your Majesty that I will be leaving tomorrow. I will be taking my leave from Your Majesty today!" Thank you, your majesty, for the hospitality you have received over the past few days. " Li Chen said a few more sentences in an indifferent tone. His words had only met Wan Tongtian once, and with his strength, it would be extremely easy for him to bring the little rumor along and leave without anyone noticing.
Wan Tongtian's face flashed with astonishment, he turned his eyes and said: "Sir Li, at least you know Jia Yi and General Xiong for a bit, why not wait for Princess Jiayi and General Xiong Ke to get married before leaving?"
Was he thinking of ways to stay?
The corner of Li Chen's mouth flashed with a trace of ridicule. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a Princess Jiayi at the side say: "Royal father, daughter said that she would never marry General Xiong! If royal father insists on marrying me to Xiong Ke, at that time, don't blame your daughter for being unfilial! "
When Jia Yi heard Li Chen say that he was going to leave, there was indeed a moment of sadness in his heart. Even if he wanted to marry someone else, this man wouldn't stop for him.
Wan Tongtian did not expect Jia Yi to say such a thing at this time, and his face immediately turned white!
He looked at the stubborn face of Jia Yi, his expression continuously changing, and after a long while, he forced out a smile: "Jia Yi, royal father is doing this for your own good, someone! Bring the princess back, we are not allowed to leave without my orders. "
Two guards came in from outside and brought the pale-faced Jia Yi in.
Li Chen never thought that Wan Tongtian would completely disregard his thoughts, and actually want to force Jia Yi to marry Xiong Ke, but he thought that not only would Jia Yi be unwilling, Xiong Ke would also not agree!
Seeing that he could not keep Li Chen, Wan Tongtian changed his method: "Sir Li is leaving tomorrow. Since it is like this, tonight's banquet in the palace, please do not reject it! Just take it as me doing it for Young Master! "
Li Chen nodded his head in agreement, but he did not ignore the deep meaning in Wan Tongtian's eyes.
Whether it was a scheme or a conspiracy, there was nothing for him to worry about.
Taking advantage of the night gathering, he decided to discuss what he should do with Xiong Ke.
During the night, Li Chen had specially brought Little Charmer along, but he did not change into a woman's attire. The reason was because the Little Charmer kept nagging him, wanting to see what the Imperial Palace looked like.
Along the way, he also wanted to taste what the food in the palace looked like. Naturally, Li Chen chose to satisfy her.
When they reached the hall, many people had already arrived. Li Chen directly walked towards Xiong Ke, and although everyone was sizing him up, they did not dare to say anything.
Someone who could kill a strong warrior like Nangong Jue was definitely not someone they could offend.
"What is the old Emperor planning?" Li Chen immediately said to Xiong Ke via sound transmission.
"That's right. You only wanted me to stay. If I were to treat you like this, I'm afraid I'd be targeting the treasures on your body."
Based on Xiong Ke's understanding, this was all Wan Tongtian could think of.
The banquet quickly began. Li Chen saw that the grapevine had no interest in anything, so he let it walk around.
Wan Tongtian who was above them had a smile on his face that said he was determined to win, and after saying a few words to the eunuch beside him, the eunuch immediately responded and left.
After knowing Wan Tongtian's goal, Li Chen did not take it to heart.
In the end, there was nothing Wan Tongtian could do about it.
He ate something at random and then waited for the message to come back. The practice was just a ritual.
A few moments later, a noise came from outside. A man who looked like a guard came in and reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we are capturing a thief in the Supreme Harmony Hall. May Your Majesty allow us to proceed further!"
Thief? Li Chen frowned slightly, and subconsciously felt that something was amiss.
A glint flashed across Wan Tongtian's eyes, and he said directly: "Bring him up!"
"Yes sir!" The guard nodded and with a wave of his finger, two soldiers brought in a person who was tied up.
"Let me go! What are you doing! Why did you want to capture me!? "
Li Chen looked carefully, the people who were caught were indeed small rumors! Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she felt wronged.
"A small rumor?" Li Chen immediately rushed forward, to untie the scrolls. Two soldiers immediately went up to stop Li Chen, but they were all sent flying by the power of the flick of Li Chen's finger.
It was fine to deal with him, but in order to deal with him using a scimitar, there was no way that he would be polite to others.
"Li Chen, what are you doing!" Wan Tongtian had never thought that before he could even open his mouth, Li Chen had already injured the guard and the hall was in a mess.
Li Chen didn't even turn his head around, he only untied Little Charmer's body from the ropes. When he saw the obvious palm print on Little Charmer's face, his face immediately turned cold: "Who did it!"
The spellcaster simply did not know what had happened, why did a group of people suddenly appear and say that she had stolen something, unreasonably say that she had stolen something, and then tie her up? She only resisted and slapped her a few times, and now she felt wronged when she saw Li Chen: "It was him! I didn't steal anything, they accused me! "
That was when she didn't have the ability to. With Li Chen at her side now, what more did she have to worry about, she could just directly speak of the person who slapped her.
"Yes, I will!" Li Chen's face was as gloomy as water, as he directly told Little Zhang.
"Alright!" "Yes!" The little guy directly slapped his face. The little guy's heart was filled with anger, so naturally, his attack was quite heavy. As the slap landed, even his palm started to feel numb.
The guard was beaten senseless, he did not expect that under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Li Chen would not even bother about Wan Tongtian and allowed the taboo to attack him, when he reacted, he had a sinister look on his face: "You actually dared to hit me!"
In the eyes of the guard, the pass down information was just an ordinary pageboy, and was even a pageboy that was caught by order of Wan Tongtian, so he naturally did not place in his eyes.
However, to give himself a slap in the face of such an unworthy servant was naturally extremely embarrassing.
Li Chen shook his head, and pulled over the Little Announcement: "You hit it too lightly! This is how a person should be beaten! "
After he finished speaking, Little Charmer did not even manage to see how Li Chen made his move. With a "peng" sound, the man flew out and crashed into the table Li Chen was sitting on, causing alcohol to spill all over the floor.
The man struggled to get up from the ground, but after a twitch, there was no response.
The person beside him went over to check on his Qi, and then looked at Wan Tongtian with a face full of fear: "Your Majesty! There's no air left! "
Wan Tongtian's face turned green and white, he looked at Li Chen and his voice became cold.
"What do you mean?"
"His Majesty has someone who doesn't understand what's going on. I'm just helping His Majesty deal with him!" Your Majesty, you don't need to take such a small matter to heart. " Li Chen shook his sleeves indifferently, and looked at Wan Tongtian without changing his expression.
Wan Tongtian completely did not expect that Li Chen would be so merciless when he spoke so few words. A fury flashed in his eyes, and he quickly suppressed it.
"Whether or not you understand what's going on is something that should be done after I make my judgement. Killing people without regard for reason like you, where do you want me to go?" Wan Tongtian immediately said, the air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder.
