Imperial Garden.

Clear pond edge.

Yan Longyue lost tears in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She said respectfully: "Young Master, Longyue is willing to serve you and doesn't want to marry Prince Zhou."

Chen Mu seemed to understand but didn't understand and smiled and said, "Sister Princess, I know you have difficulties. I didn't take the matter seriously."

Yan Longyue knelt in front of Chen Mu again, with tears in her eyes, "The father drove me out of the royal family in public, and Longyue can only follow the young master now."

"Sister Princess, get up and talk, the ground is cold." Chen Mu helped Yan Longyue up.

It was difficult for him to understand Yan Takiyue doing this.

King Yan was the king of the country. He publicly abolished Yan Taungyue's royal identity and gave her to Chen Mu as a maid. This is a fact.

Many nobles were watching at that time.

Chen Mu said in confusion: "If you don't want to marry, will the King of Yan force you?"

"The Father will not, but others will."

Yan Longyue said bitterly: "Although this winter ended very quickly, it had a significant impact on Yan State. Zhou State took the opportunity to attack Yan State. We were defeated in Suzhou, and our father could only be forced to seek peace."

Chen Mu knew the influence of winter. This time, winter caused the demon tide to descend north, and Black Stone City was almost destroyed by monsters. Dayan was located in the north, which was the area that was most severely impacted by the demon tide.

The State of Zhou was obviously prepared.

"The condition of the King of Zhou was to cede land and marry."

"Zhou Han is the prince of the enemy king. He is cruel and ruthless and has bad character. He has a intention to Takiyue, but this kind of guy, Takiyue would rather die than marry."

Black Stone City is in the north, and I haven’t heard of the war in the south yet. I only realized that such a big change occurred in the south after hearing Yan Longyue’s story.

When Yan State was defeated, Yan Longyue became a bargaining chip. Zhou Han would definitely ask Yan Longyue. If the King of Yan refused, he might give Zhou State an excuse to attack, and then he would inevitably flow into blood.

The original intention of King Yan was to let Chen Mu marry Yan Longyue, so that the face of the Great Yan royal family would be bright and could also intimidate the Zhou Kingdom.

King Yan guessed two possibilities, and Chen Mu refused or agreed. However, Yan Taungyue took the initiative to propose to be a maid, which was something that King Yan did not expect. In the end, Chen Mu really dared to agree.

Chen Mu suggested: "Sister Princess, you can follow me for the time being."

"When this storm is over, I believe that King Yan will let you return to the royal family."

"Thank you, young master, I'm not a princess anymore, you'd better call me Tatsuo." Yan Tatsuo squatted down and looked at Chen Mu with a smile.

Chen Mu felt so impolite and smiled and said with a sunny smile: "Then I call you Sister Takiyue."

"Young Master likes it." Yan Longyue smiled with her eyebrows and said, feeling that she was very lucky to be protected by Chen Mu.

Chen Mu did not regard Yan Tamyue as his maid, but Yan Tamyue already regarded Chen Mu as his young master.

He felt that Yan Taeyue was much shorter than when she met last year. After careful observation, he realized that she was wearing a pair of flat shoes now.

Chen Mu has grown much taller in the past six months due to his cultivation, and looks similar to a seven or eight-year-old child, and even more strong.

"Ahem."

Zhao Feiyan appeared nearby.

Zhao Feiyan heard the conversation just now very clearly, and she said coldly: "If you have time to see the scenery and pick up the maid, when will you go to Lingyun Sect with me?"

"Well, let's talk about it in two years." Chen Mu never wanted to go to Lingyun Sect.

When Zhao Feiyan thought of the cold air in her body, it would probably take two years to completely clear it, and she had no intention of forcing him.

Yan Longyue looked surprised. Lingyun Sect invited Chen Mu, but he was reluctant.

...

Xuanwu Palace.

Chen Mu and Zhao Feiyan sat in the front row, opposite Chen Mu was Zhao Feiyan, and the position on the starting point was still empty, which was prepared for Zhou Han.

The princes and nobles sat further.

It was already time for the banquet, but Zhou Han was not yet seen, and King Yan looked a little unhappy. It was obviously intentional sooner or later.

"Let's have a banquet."

The King of Yan did not continue to wait.

If it weren't for Chen Mu and Zhao Feiyan, King Yan would have been there, in his eyes, Zhao Feiyan and Chen Mu were more important, and he would not dare to neglect.

As long as there is a place to drink, Zhao Feiyan will not be absent. She hasn't drunk strong wine for a long time, and all she drinks are fine wine with a rich aroma.

Chen Mu was filled with delicacies in front of him, but only his bowls and chopsticks. Yan Longyue was still kneeling beside her and "Prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Chen Mu shouted crisply, and the palace maid who served the food said respectfully: "I will prepare now."

"Thanks."

Yan Taeyue smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Sister Takiyue, what do you want to thank me for? This is your family."

Yan Taeyue pursed her lips, and when the choice she made was no longer a princess.

King Yan saw Chen Mu's character from this trivial matter. He nodded with satisfaction. Such a choice was humble and the result was good.

Zhou Han and Zhao Qianlei came to Xuanwu Palace with a smile, but the people were stunned. The luncheon had already begun, and the princes and nobles were raising their glasses to drink.

Zhou Han looked embarrassed and a little angry. As the prince of the victorious country, he was actually ignored. The luncheon had already begun before he could wait.

The King of Yan noticed Zhou Han and chuckled, "My nephew, please take the seat."

Zhou Han sat down with a dark face. When he saw Chen Mu beside him, Yan Longyue kneeling beside him, his face turned even more ashen.

This is the princess he likes, how could he sit beside Chen Mu? He is serving him?

Zhou Han held his anger and said, "King Yan, my father asked me to discuss the matter of cede land and marrying him."

The King of Yan said solemnly: "Nephew, I am willing to marry Zhou Guo and give Suzhou as a certificate of friendship between the two families."

Although the King of Yan was old, he was still smart and had a good reputation for cedeing land and talking about his relatives.

Zhou Han said bluntly: "I love Princess Mulongyue for a long time, so I would like to ask the King of Yan to allow him to do so."

At this time, the royal family in the hall couldn't help but talk, and the King of Yan said in a deep voice: "My friend Chen Mu is interested in Takiyue and has accepted her as a maid."

"What!"

Zhou Han suddenly stood up.

Chen Mu calmly ate bear's paw.

Zhou Han looked at Chen Mu in shock. Will Yan Taungyue be taken as a maid by him? Impossible! She is a royal princess! It is absolutely impossible!

Zhou Han quickly calmed down. He sat down and drank a glass of wine, muttering in his heart: "Yan Taungyue can't be a maid for her. It must be that King Yan doesn't want her to marry me. Old fox, since you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

"King of Yan, my father said that Zhou State wants Suzhou and Yunzhou. If you get these two states, Zhou State guarantees that there will be no offense in the future." Zhou Han said in a deep voice.

The nobles of Yan State here looked at each other.

Suzhou is in a desolate area, and most of the land is occupied by the Zhou State. Yunzhou belongs to the hinterland of Yan State. If Yunzhou is lost, Yan State will lose the last barrier and the royal capital will be protected without any danger.

The wine glass in the King of Yan's hand appeared cracks, and his old face trembled. The King of Zhou was indeed greedy, and asking for Yunzhou was tantamount to annexing the State of Yan.

Yan Taeyue gritted her silver teeth angrily.

Chen Mu could feel Zhou Han's pride.

Zhou Han drank wine and said proudly: "I can persuade my father to give up Yunzhou, but I have the conditions."

“What conditions?”

"I want Princess Takiyue."

Xuanwu Palace became quiet. King Yan just rewarded Yan Tammoth to Chen Mu as his maid, but now Zhou Han wants to ask Yan Tammoth.

King Yan repeated: "I have abolished the princess of Takino. She is now a maid next to Chen Mu. If you want Takino, you should look for him."

After Chen Mu gnawed the bear paw, he was gnawing the pig's elbow again. Zhou Han looked at him unhappily and gritted his teeth, but Zhao Feiyan was there, so he didn't dare to be arrogant.

Zhou Han said proudly: "Since the King of Yan cannot meet my requirements, it must meet the conditions of my father and ceded Suzhou and Yunzhou. If the King of Yan does not agree, you will know the consequences."

Zhou Han put pressure on the King of Yan again, and he didn't believe that the King of Yan would not hand over Yan Longyue.

The wine glass in King Yan's hand was crushed, and he was in a dilemma now. If the war started, Yan would lose and it would cause blood to flow into a river.

Yan Taeyue is already Chen Mu's maid, and King Yan cannot come back now.

Chen Mu finished gnawing on the pig's elbow.

He stood up and looked at Zhou Han, and said clearly: "Do you want Sister Takiyue?"

"That's right."

Zhou Han had arrogance on his face.

Zhao Feiyan drank a small wine and narrowed her eyes slightly. She felt that Chen Mu was going to cause trouble.

Chen Mu said in a crisp voice: "We will compete in martial arts. If you can beat me, I will give you Sister Takiyue. If you lose to me, you will give up cede the land. Zhou State will never invade Yan State again."

Hearing words.

Everyone looked at each other.

Yan Longyue covered her little mouth, her pure pretty face full of dull expressions. She knew that Chen Mu was very powerful and could defeat two eighth-grade sword masters at the same time, but Zhou Han was even more powerful. He was a real sword sect and a fifth-grade sword sect.

Zhou Han is not an ordinary sword sect.

The princes and nobles in the hall shook their heads one after another. If they had known, it would be better to betroth Yan Longyue to Zhou Han, and they would have to be so embarrassed.

Zhou Han's eyes were joking, and Zhao Qianlei hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Your Highness, there may be a trap here, so I can't agree."

The King of Yan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke decisively, "If my nephew wins, I will agree to cede Suzhou and Yunzhou to Zhou State, and I will never regret it."

This is a gamble from King Yan. Chen Mu must be sure to stand up. He is willing to believe in the peerless genius from Black Stone City.

Zhao Feiyan was just drinking, with a sneer on her lips, thinking that only pigs would be fooled, and pies would fall from the sky? This was obviously a trap.

Zhou Han was a little hesitant, but now he won the competition and won Suzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanlongyue. He joked: "No problem."
