Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 410 This boy defies the heavens!!!

The scene was quiet.

The ministers had seen people exposing others' shortcomings in person, but they had never seen anyone exposing the Grand Master's shortcomings in person like he did.

The Northern Qi envoys were stunned. Even Zhuang Mohan, who came in wearing a white robe and holding a calligraphy piece, stood at the door in a daze. The people on both sides of the aisle didn't know whether they should stand up to greet them or sit still so as not to disturb the conversation between the two grandmasters' disciples.

Yun Zhilan held the long sword horizontally on the table, and stroked the scabbard with his slender five fingers. He squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that the Ningyang County Princess's family died at the hands of Master Chu. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Li Yunrui on the opposite side kept rubbing his temples, lamenting that before the two protagonists, Fan Xian and Zhuang Mohan, had even started, Chu Pingsheng had already started fighting with Yun Zhilan. This guy was indeed a troublemaker, and there was unrest wherever he went.

"I think you're mistaken. I'm not exposing your master's shortcomings." Chu Pingsheng showed a harmless smile. "What I meant was that your master missed a younger brother. I helped him kill him a few days ago. He was the shadow leader of the Sixth Division of the Supervisory Council, who kept shouting that he wanted to avenge his entire family. So he should thank me for solving his worries."

! ! ! ! ! !
Zhuang Mohan was still standing at the door.

It was not because he gave face to Chu Pingsheng and Yun Zhilan, but even though he was obsessed with literature, he had heard of the deeds of the Western Hu barbarians.

The White Ape killed more than a hundred Black Riders, beheaded the Shadows who headed the six departments, and captured Si Lili, a secret agent of the Northern Qi.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Sixth Department, Shadow, was actually the younger brother of the Dongyi Grandmaster Si Gu Jian.

Fan Xian, Li Chengqian, Li Chengze and others also did not expect that Shadow had such a background.

The problem is that Chu Pingsheng exposed it in front of Si Gu Jian's first disciple Yun Zhilan at the Four Kingdoms Night Banquet. What did he want to do? To make Si Gu Jian grateful? With that sarcastic tone, no one would think that he was trying to please Si Gu Jian.

"Yun Zhilan, according to seniority, you should call him Uncle Shadow...right?"

He was still provoking, but Yun Zhilan could no longer suppress his anger. His sword bounced back an inch, revealing a sharp blade that was unstoppable and filled with murderous intent.

wow...

A voice broke the silence in the room. It was Chu Pingsheng who picked up the gilded wine pot on the dining table, poured himself a glass of wine, and gently spun the jade cup, as if he was appreciating the quality of the jade, or as if he was interested in the dragon relief on it.

"Yun Zhilan, with your aptitude, you will never be able to reach Si Gu Jian's level even if you practice for your whole life. My master has a sword manual that requires one to be ruthless and heartless to master, and it does not require aptitude. Why don't you bring your fellow apprentices to join my master Bai Feng? I can't say that I can make you become masters, but it won't be a problem for you to be on par with the deceased Qing Kingdom's great eunuch Hong Sixiang."

Clang!
Yun Zhilan could no longer bear it and drew his sword.

"Ha...hahahaha...hahahaha...look, he's much cuter when he's angry than when he was crying just now."

Chu Pingsheng ignored Yun Zhilan's hostility and drank the wine in his glass with a smile.

Is he teasing Yun Zhilan?
This guy didn't hesitate to expose Shadow's identity and make enemies with Si Gu Jian, just because he couldn't stand Yun Zhilan's arrogant face that looked like a deadbeat to everyone?

Madman! What a madman!
Li Yunrui, wearing a golden hairpin, long hair down to his knees, and a phoenix-patterned crown, looked at Chu Pingsheng, who had no sitting posture, no composure, was unrestrained and reckless, and his heart suddenly moved.

If he was not a foreign envoy from Xihu, it would be quite interesting to marry him... In the entire Qing Kingdom, only this person could make Li Yunqian lose face.

Fan Xian was also quite shocked. Yun Zhilan clearly came because of him killing the female swordsman from Dongyi City, but Chu Pingsheng suddenly shifted his hatred to him.

"Chu Pingsheng..."

Opposite him were the courtiers of Qing, on the right was the envoy of Northern Qi, and behind him were two disciples. Yun Zhilan, as the manager of Dongyi City, could no longer tolerate it, so he drew his sword and challenged them to a fight.

At this moment, a light cough was heard from the door, followed by Hou Zhigang's shouting.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Everyone turned around and saw Emperor Qing, wearing a crown and robes, accompanied by the chief eunuch Hou Zhigang, turning into the hall and walking slowly along the red carpet.

Zhuang Mohan bowed slightly and said "Your Majesty". The court officials and envoys stood up one after another. Yun Zhilan quickly sheathed his sword and showed respect with the etiquette of an envoy.

Emperor Qing waved his sleeves and said, "Mr. Zhuang, please."

"Your Majesty, please go first."

Zhuang Mohan was the number one literary figure in the world, but he did not dare to stand on equal footing with the emperor.

Li Yunqian walked towards the dragon throne in the center of the upper seat with a calm demeanor and a leisurely gait. When he passed by Chu Pingsheng, he glared at him fiercely. Normally, he should have waited for Zhuang Mohan to take his seat before appearing. He didn't need to walk in front, but could just go through the back palace door to the dragon throne and sit down. Now Chu Pingsheng was messing around, forcing him to show up at the banquet early.

Although he was happy to see Bai Feng and Si Gu Jian become enemies, at the current state banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, if Yun Zhilan could not restrain himself and started fighting with Chu Pingsheng, it would hurt the reputation of the Nanqing royal family.

Li Yunqian glanced at Zhuang Mohan who had already taken his seat, and at Fan Xian who had bowed to the literary masters but was ignored. He pointed at Chu Pingsheng, walked to the front of the dragon chair, lifted the back of his crown, and sat down with a bow.

The court officials at the back left their seats and knelt down to pay homage. However, foreign envoys such as Zhuang Mohan, Yun Zhilan, and Chu Pingsheng only bowed to greet them.

"Be flat."

Li Yunqian raised his hand, and the ministers who were kneeling below stood up and took their seats again.

He saw that Chu Pingsheng behaved in a frivolous manner, neither standing nor sitting properly, as if he was treating the palace as a brothel, and he couldn't help feeling displeased.

"If you don't go to sleep on your flower boat, how can you have time to come to my palace for a banquet tonight?"

Chu Pingsheng thought, your palace? Look at how I turn it into my back garden.

"Your Majesty, don't you understand me? If you don't watch the fun, you'd be doing yourself a disservice."

"You make trouble for me every day. I think you are the biggest trouble."

"Really? I mean well. Yun Zhilan is wearing a sword and is seated at the table. I am worried that he might harm Your Majesty, so I am testing him to see if Commander Yan and Deputy Commander Gong standing behind the screen are alert enough to handle the danger."

"So, I should thank you again?"

"No need. This position will be the top if it is promoted any further. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to be promoted any more in the future. That would be bad. It would be better to be practical this time... Give me a house and transfer a few maids from the palace to take care of my daily life, okay?"

He is now the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, and has the same title as the Three Officials of the Imperial Court. He is a first-rank official. If he is promoted further, he will be a first-rank official, the same level as Lin Ruofu and Qin Ye. If he is promoted further... can he be given a higher title? Could it be that a Western Hu envoy will be given the title of Duke? The title of Prince?

Li Chengze and Li Chengqian's eyelids twitched wildly when they heard this. They shouted, "Your Majesty, is that really a thank you?" Even a fool could hear the mockery in it.

"You really don't consider yourself an outsider by asking me for a house."

"Of course." Chu Pingsheng said, "Wan'er is your Majesty's niece and my fiancée. Your Majesty, do you think...are we outsiders?"

Hou Zhigang who was standing at the back wanted to slap himself twice. This kid's mouth was really mean. When it comes to benefits, we are relatives, but when we have a quarrel, I am the chief of Xihu and my master is the grandmaster, so who are you?

Li Yunqian turned sideways and said in a joking tone: "Okay, I will fulfill your wish. From now on, you can live in the Ningyang County Princess's house."

Chu Pingsheng was delighted when he heard this: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince's eyelids were twitching just now, but now they are grinning with astonishment on their faces.

Everyone in the powerful dynasty knew that Lin Youdao's family was killed by Bai Feng, the great master of Western Hu. Chu Pingsheng was a good talker, and the emperor also played tricks on him. If he, the apprentice of a murderer, moved into such a haunted house, wouldn't he be afraid that Princess Ningyang and her family would come after him to claim his life?

"Aren't you... afraid?" asked the emperor.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of ghosts? Why should you be afraid?" Chu Pingsheng turned to look at Li Yunrui: "Is Lin Youdao's wife pretty?"

? ? ? ? ? ?
! ! ! ! ! !
This kid... defies the will of heaven!

Zhuang Mohan was confused at first, but now he understood. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, saying it was ridiculous.

Li Yunrui laughed, her body shaking with laughter, her eyes full of excitement. Chu Pingsheng's madness was so charming that she really regretted marrying her daughter to him.

"Beautiful, beautiful. Commandant Lin's wife is the granddaughter of Duke Jin. In her time in Kyoto, she was also a lady of a famous family with both talent and beauty."

Li Yunrui paused and continued, "Not only that, Commandant Lin also has two concubines, both of whom are beautiful women with graceful manners."

Chu Pingsheng nodded and said, "Very good, very good."

Li Yunrui glanced at the emperor who was laughing at his anger, and smiled, "Your Majesty has rewarded you with a house, and as your mother-in-law, it's not easy for me to say that I don't have it. How about this, I will ask Wanqiu to send you a few suitable palace maids in a few days."
