Chapter 21: The Arrival of the Capital

"A good thing for the Yue family? A blessing for the people?"

Everyone looked puzzled, wondering what kind of medicine the emperor and Lu Liqun were selling in the gourd.

Yue Tianfeng stood up and came to Lu Liqun. The other strong men of the Yue family also stood up reluctantly.

Yue Tianfeng said: "Intimidate the Northern King to accept the order."

Lu Liqun opened the imperial edict and read out:

"By God's blessing, the emperor summoned me. Now I heard that Yue Wudao, the son of the King of the North, has both talents and extraordinary qualifications. I have specially betrothed Princess Jingwen to him to show my trust in Yue Qing. I express my admiration for this."

Yue Tianfeng and others raised their heads, and everyone looked shocked.

It was not an imperial edict of crusade, nor was it an edict of condemnation. It was actually about a marriage.

Yue Wu had such a lucky break for no reason.

At this time, Yue Wudao's head was still in a daze.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, the emperor's imperial edict did not even mention Tianbei Hou and the Liu family at all.

Their deaths were directly caused by the emperor, but now the emperor wants to marry into the Yue family.

"I accept the decree."

Yue Tianfeng accepted the edict, and Lu Liqun came closer with a smile and handed the edict to Yue Tianfeng.

"Brother-in-law, this is a beautiful thing."

Looking at Yue Wudao, Lu Liqun admired.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very handsome. He and Princess Jingwen are a match made in heaven. A perfect match."

"Prefect Lu, now that the imperial edict has been read out, I also have a question in my mind that I would like to ask for advice."

Yue Tianfeng returned to the main seat and turned around slowly.

"That day the Marquis of Bei mobilized an army of 300,000 without authorization to put my Yue family to death. Did His Majesty know about this, or did he not know about it?"

Lu Liqun's expression changed instantly, but he quickly recovered.

"Of course the Holy One knows about this."

Yue Tianfeng's face darkened.

"This was just a private act by Marquis Tianbei. When the Emperor found out, he was furious. He has revoked the title of Marquis Tianbei and demoted the rest of his family to civilians."

"I see."

Yue Tianfeng sat on the main seat and was not happy about it.

This is how it is when dealing with imperial power. When you are needed, you will be given gorgeous titles and titles. When you are not needed, even if you are following orders, you are just a scapegoat that can be made at any time.

"The emperor actually wants to marry his daughter to me? Isn't this daughter the daughter of a stepmother?"

Yue Wudao smiled and said.

"Um, His Royal Highness is joking. Princess Jingwen is the biological daughter of Concubine Liu and His Majesty."

Yue Wudao was stunned. Could this emperor really marry his own daughter to him?

Although neither side has stated it clearly now, de facto hostility has already formed.

But then I thought about it, it was not impossible that the emperor wanted to use marriage to ease the relationship with the Yue family.

But Yue Wudao couldn't believe that the emperor would really marry his beloved daughter to him.

"Is this Princess Jingwen the one he hates more? Concubine Liu is not favored?"

Yue Wudao murmured to himself, and Lu Liqun heard it and quickly rejected his idea.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Princess Jingwen is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also has extraordinary qualifications and talent in cultivation. She is also deeply loved by the Emperor."

Lu Liqun looked at Yue Tianfeng and said, "Brother Yue, please don't doubt the emperor's good intentions towards brother Yue."

Yue Tianfeng nodded and called Yue Wudao, but Yue Wudao said no more questions.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see the princess, so there is no need to worry. Princess Jingwen will arrive in Ningqiu City soon. At that time, she can have an in-depth exchange of emotions and cultivate feelings with the Crown Prince."

"Is it coming soon?"

Yue Wudao was shocked when he heard this.

The emperor's sincerity must have been too great. He originally thought that he would be asked to go to the capital or something, and then find a reason to hold him in the capital as a hostage, but he didn't want to let Princess Jingwen come directly to Ningqiu City.

In this way, it seems that there is no conspiracy.

After Lu Liqun left, there was discussion in the Yue Family Hall.

"What do you think about this?" Yue Tianfeng asked.

After thinking about it, Lu Xing'an said: "There seems to be no conspiracy in this matter, but we have to guard against it. Maybe they have other tricks."

"What kind of tricks can a woman have? I think His Royal Highness might as well take the opportunity to win. After all, this is a profitable business." Huo Longyu laughed.

Yue Tianfeng looked at Yue Wudao and asked, "Yueer, what do you think?"

Yue Wudao smiled and said, "Father can make the final decision regarding the child."

"In that case, how about you wait until Princess Jingwen arrives, then have contact with her, and then make a decision?"

Yue Wudao nodded.

Time flies so fast, and before I know it, it’s been another five days.

Yue Wudao was dressed in a green attire and looked extremely handsome.

He had never dressed up like this before, and he didn't want to do it this time.

But his sister, Yue Mengfei, refused to let him go and dressed him up like this.

This time, he was followed by Tang Yuanwu and several other Yue Mansion Shen Zang realm experts, each riding a tall war horse, heading towards the south gate of Ningqiu City.

Lu Liqun and his people had already arrived at the gate of Ningqiu City and were waiting.

Soon, a large and exquisite carriage arrived outside the gate of Ningqiu City, accompanied by twenty tall guards from the capital of Fufeng Kingdom.

They are all powerful men above the eighth level of innate realm.

Yue Wudao looked at the carriage. Behind the closed curtain was his fiancée who was about to meet.

Let's call her that for now, but the emperor has already issued an edict to betroth her to him.

The carriage stopped, and an accompanying guard gently lifted the door curtain of the carriage.

Two accompanying female family members got out of the car, followed by a tall, beautiful woman.

Those beautiful eyes glanced at everyone, and her colorful skirt fluttered gently in the wind.

She has red lips, white teeth, waist-length hair, and is extremely beautiful.

Yue Wudao was stunned to see such a beautiful woman, which was very different from his previous thoughts.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Lu Liqun and others saluted the arriving woman.

"Uncle Lu, please get up."

Lu Liqun stood up, and the woman looked at the city gate and walked towards Yue Wudao.

"Bold, why are you undefeated when I saw Her Royal Highness the Princess just now?"

A handsome man next to Princess Jingwen shouted violently at Yue Wudao and stabbed him with his sword.

Yue Wudao's face instantly turned cold.

He dared to take action as soon as he arrived at Ningqiu City, which was simply audacious.

This does not put the Yue family in the slightest regard.

"court death."

Before Yue Wudao could get angry, Tang Yuanwu's powerful divine power exploded and he punched the opponent in the face.

The guard snorted coldly and punched him as well.

With a bang, the two of them took dozens of steps back.

This guard turned out to be a strong man in the Divine Treasure Realm.

Moreover, he turned out to be a second-level Divine Treasure Realm.

"Stop, how dare you be rude to the Crown Prince?"
