Chapter 287 Attack at the Palace Banquet (page 12)
"Going to a banquet?"
Wu Di felt that the Duke of North Korea was probably mentally ill.
The people of the Sun and Moon Empire have just retreated, most of the country has not been recovered, the dead have not been comforted, and the crisis has not been resolved, so you are planning to hold a banquet?
However, Wu Di soon felt relieved. This kind of operation was not incomprehensible to the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Even if they did this kind of thing, it was a normal operation. They celebrated the victory and restored the confidence of the nobles in the country. What's the problem?
"I will go." Wu Di said.
After that, it was time to deal with things on the battlefield. When night gradually fell again, the lanterns were turned on, and the time for the banquet in the palace finally arrived.
Wu Di entered Tiandou City with his escort team, and Zhang Lexuan went with him as a representative of Shrek Academy.
The outer city is dark and has no luster. During the war, it is not enough to maintain the security of Tiandou City. As for economic prosperity... it is naturally impossible to expect it.
The situation in the inner city is slightly better, but the only place that can be called the first light of the lanterns is the imperial palace.
The palace was illuminated by soul-guided lamps, making it dazzling and dazzling, like a fairyland on earth. The tall palace walls looked solemn and mysterious under the light, demonstrating the majesty and dignity of the royal family.
Wu Di didn't know how to say a few words at this time: "The wine and meat in the rich family smells bad, and the road is frozen to death" to spoil the fun, and went in with a calm face.
The people attending the banquet were dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes and gathered from all directions. Each aristocrat made connections with relatives and conversed politely.
Wu Di was not surprised and walked through the splendid hall with Zhang Lexuan, and finally came to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was filled with sumptuous food and wine, and the aroma was overflowing, making people salivate.
Have a banquet!
Wu Di followed the etiquette strictly and watched the emperor sitting on the high throne, accepting everyone's worship and blessings.
"Wu Haohou."
The people attending the banquet wanted to take turns coming forward to toast the emperor and congratulate him, but they did not expect that the emperor would be the first to ask Wu Di.
Looking at each other, they also felt relieved.
Wu Di has made great achievements this time, and since he is the first prince, it is normal for the emperor to speak first.
"His Majesty."
Wu Di did not kneel down respectfully, and there was not even a hint of loyalty and love for the royal family in his expression. He just called Emperor Tianhun "Your Majesty."
"This time you have made a great contribution to protecting King Qin. I wonder what kind of reward you need?" Emperor Tianhun said with a smile.
Wu Di frowned, not sure what the emperor meant, but he still said: "Sir, I am loyal to serve the country and have no selfish motives."
"If you have merit, you should be rewarded. Otherwise, who will dare to serve our Tianhun Empire in the future? Why not make you a Duke, Duke Wu Hao."
Directly turned into a duke?
Wu Di didn't look happy, he still looked indifferent and said, "Thank you, my lord."
The emperor nodded.
Zhang Lexuan is sitting next to Wu Di. Although she does not have a title, her status as the top disciple of Shrek's inner courtyard allows her to sit here.
"What does the emperor mean?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
"I am the only noble in the army who can fight well. Maybe for this reason, you want to give me a title and tie me to the Tianhun Empire."
Wu Di took a sip of wine and felt nothing.
Zhang Lexuan asked curiously: "Are you not particularly happy?"
Wu Di sent a message: "If you are stronger than the empire, you can put the emperor's position under your butt at any time, and you have no interest in these rewards."
Hearing Wu Di's message, Zhang Lexuan smiled evilly: "It seems that you are not that loyal."
As a member of Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan is not interested in the struggle for power among these nobles. Improving her own cultivation is the most important thing.
Wu Di also laughed and said: "My loyalty is to revive Tiandou, not to this Emperor Tianhun."
Only after contacting Xue Bei did Wu Di truly realize the difference between these concepts.
Looking past the nobles or the strong men of the Noumenon Sect, Wu Di remained calm. Suddenly, as if he had made some extraordinary discovery, he looked at the next person.
The middle-aged man at the bottom has long blue hair hanging over his broad and stalwart shoulders. His eyes are also blue. When he opens and closes them, his seemingly simple eyes have an indescribable special quality.
This is probably a titled Douluo, and it seems that the royal family is indeed hiding it.
Then, Wu Di watched the green-haired middle-aged man look at himself and stood up, wearing a white outfit covering his burly body.
"you are?"
Niu Tian stared at Wu Di and walked step by step.
He already knew the news of Tai Tan's death at Xue Bei's hands. After the initial grief and anger, he only had hatred in his heart.
He and Tai Tai had a brotherhood that spanned ten thousand years.
Tang San also persuaded Niu Tian not to provoke Xue Bei, but how could this hatred end so easily?
Niu Tian is determined to take revenge.
Tang San had no choice but to persuade.
Since I can't take revenge on Xue Bei, I can only take revenge on people related to Xue Bei.
In the Tianhun Empire, Xue Bei's relationship with Wu Di is almost obvious.
Tang San supported Niu Tian to take revenge on Wu Di, making Xue Bei often suffer the pain of losing his brother.
"This is?"
Zhang Lexuan also obviously noticed this strong man and felt something bad when she saw Niu Tian staring at Wu Di.
"senior?"
Wu Di asked doubtfully, his body already prepared to fight back.
At this moment, although Niu Tian was not standing in the center of the banquet, his tall figure seemed to have become the center of the banquet.
"Wu Di, die!"
Niu Tian swung a punch with the force of a tiger descending from the mountain and rushed towards Wu Di.
Wu Di's figure turned into a green plant vine in an instant, and the heavy and powerful fist hit the vine, and the entire palace ground seemed to tremble.
"There are assassins!"
"Someone is coming!"
Niu Tian frowned slightly, Wu Di was worthy of being a former Shrek Academy disciple, and worthy of being the one who hung out with Xue Bei.
Wu Di, who was a Soul Saint, actually dodged the punch.
Wu Di was secretly frightened. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and this mysterious strong man had no chance to take action again.
Taking action at the Tianhun Emperor's banquet was undoubtedly an attempt to go against the Tianhun Empire.
Of course, the first premise is that this person was not invited by Emperor Tianhun to kill him.
Wu Di turned to look at the emperor on the first seat.
Emperor Tianhun was also surprised. He had no intention of killing Wu Di now, and if he killed Wu Di now, wouldn't he be taking the blame directly?
"Take him!"
The emperor gave the order.
A Soul Saint guard released his martial spirit. He gripped a huge battle ax and struck at Niu Tian.
Swinging the ax was accompanied by a thunderous roar, drawing dazzling trajectories in the air. This soul saint was actually stronger than Wu Di.
But for Niu Tian, he was never afraid of you confronting him head-on.
