Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 739 Provocation (First Update)
Emperor Muwu said, "In that case, announce Ye Yunfeng."

Si Kouji's eyelids twitched, and he silently memorized the name.

Ye Yunfeng...

Behind him, a steady yet vigorous gait came from outside the hall.

Si Kouji turned around and saw a handsome young man with sharp eyes and brows walk in.

He looks extremely young, is he sixteen?
Si Kou found this extremely unbelievable.

Before coming, he had indeed inquired about the specific details of the Battle of Longcheng. He only knew that a young soldier under Feng Zhang had shot Tuoba Yu and brought him back to the capital.

But he never imagined that the other person was actually so young!
Tuoba Yu also saw Ye Yunfeng, and his emotions, which had finally calmed down, surged up again!

He clenched his teeth so tightly that he could almost smell the blood in them!

If eyes could turn into sharp arrows, Ye Yunfeng would probably have been riddled with holes by now.

Unfortunately, no.

Ye Yunfeng walked forward with steady and light steps, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and stood still in the hall.

"This humble general, Ye Yunfeng, greets Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Yu and he were only three steps apart.

He stared at Ye Yunfeng like a madman, the hatred in his heart almost devouring him.

"Ye... Ye Yunfeng!"

Ye Yunfeng paused, then turned his head slightly and glanced at him very lightly.

Immediately, a roguish smile appeared on the boy's face.

"Long time no see, it seems you still recognize me?"

Tuoba Yu certainly recognized him!

Even if the other person turns to ashes, he will still recognize them!

"you you--"

Anger and resentment easily overwhelmed Tuoba Yu's remaining fragile rationality.

All the humiliation and torment I had suffered in the past few days came rushing back to me at this moment!

Tuoba Yu's eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a vengeful ghost from hell.

Even if I die, I will never let you go!

His voice was hoarse, and every word he uttered was filled with deep hatred, sending chills down one's spine.

However, Ye Yunfeng didn't care at all.

It's just the last struggle of a defeated opponent; what's there to care about?
He raised an eyebrow, and asked, seemingly out of curiosity,
"What, you think my archery skills are so good that you want to learn from me even after you're dead?"

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, someone in the previously silent court broke into laughter, shattering the tense and suffocating atmosphere of confrontation.

Although the sound was quickly silenced, it still caused many people to cover their mouths and laugh.

—This Ye Yunfeng, who seemed so calm and experienced before, I never expected him to utter such foul language as soon as he opened his mouth!
The Prince of Yannan also smiled, and deliberately raised his voice to instruct.

“Ah Feng, how can you be so disrespectful in front of His Majesty?”

After saying that, he looked at Sikou Ji and the others, "Afeng is still young and his temperament is inevitably unruly. I hope you all won't mind?"

Sikou Ji's face turned ashen, and he trembled with rage.

Too young?

He served in the army and guarded the border, where he fought the enemy and made meritorious contributions!

How dare the King of Yannan say such a thing!

Wouldn't this make Tuoba Yu look even more incompetent, unable to even beat a half-grown boy, and easily manipulated by others?

Tuoba Yu was so angry he nearly fainted. Emperor Muwu raised his hand.

"It doesn't matter."

Tuoba Yu struggled to get up, and seeing that he was about to say something, Sikou Ji's heart sank again.

—At this time, you absolutely must not say anything you shouldn't!

If he acts impulsively and reveals his identity as Prince Su in public, then this trip will have been in vain!
Just then, Rong Ke spoke up again.

"Young Master Ye was able to shoot down the bandit leader with a single arrow amidst the enemy ranks; he is indeed a young hero and worthy of admiration."

His tone was calm, and there was little trace of admiration in his voice.

But Tuoba Yu was once again pinned to the spot.

He glanced at Rong Ke subconsciously, his words from earlier still echoing in his ears.

Bandit leader.

This is his only identity now!

Looking at that beautiful, otherworldly face, even just a profile, one could still feel its cold, brooding aura.

Tuoba Yu's heart trembled. His previous raging anger vanished in an instant, leaving only deep fear.

He certainly didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of this person.

At this moment, these words were his final reminder!

Tuoba Yu felt bitter and resentful. From childhood to adulthood, he had never experienced such a miserable period as a prisoner!

That almost shattered his dignity completely!

But now, he has no choice but to endure this suffering.

Tuoba Yu clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. His lips moved a few times, but in the end he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I... I did those things, and I'll accept the consequences!"

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Kill me or torture me... it's up to you!"

Seeing this, Chen Songshi finally spoke up.

"I didn't realize this thief was so bold; he's not afraid of death at all?"

What he said sounded strange.

Ye Yunfeng laughed and said, "Perhaps the Grand Secretary has overestimated him. Back in Longcheng, this fellow also took advantage of the chaos to escape. He not only captured several followers to die for him, but he also ran all the way to the city gate. In such a chaotic situation, he ran faster than everyone else. If my arrow hadn't been timely, he probably would have torn down the city gate and escaped far away!"

These words were spoken without any restraint!

Tuoba Yu's face suddenly turned red, almost liver-colored.

"you!"

This is clearly a blatant insult!

Si Kouji and the others listened in silence, their faces extremely grim.

Anyone would find it unbearable to be insulted like that to their face, especially since Tuoba Yu was their master. Ye Yunfeng's insults were a complete disgrace to them!
Even Si Kouji, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, almost couldn't hold back. When he spoke again, his tone was already tinged with sarcasm.

"So, the battle of Longcheng really owes a lot to this young master Ye. If it weren't for his bravery and skill in battle, taking the lead all the way, how could we have captured all these bandits so easily?"

His words were meant to stir up trouble, since it sounded like he was putting all the credit on Ye Yunfeng alone.

The King of Yannan is still here; how could he be happy to hear these words?
But to Si Kou Ji's surprise, when the King of Yannan heard this, he not only showed no displeasure, but instead burst into laughter.

"Lord Sikou is absolutely right! When I said before that the greatest credit in this battle should go to Ye Si, many people didn't believe me, thinking that he was just a young boy and how could he bear such an important responsibility? They thought it must be my personal bias that I gave all the credit to this kid. But now that even Lord Sikou has said so, I think everyone will be convinced! Hahaha!"

Si Kou was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at the Prince of Yannan in disbelief, then at Ye Yunfeng.

What's the situation?
The Prince of Yannan... actually values ​​Ye Yunfeng so much!?
