It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 126: Outrageous!! So outrageous!!
After the imperial envoy finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other.

The officials were actually not particularly clear about the situation inside the Taiyin Mountains.

Because these officials do not have particularly close ties with the Taiyin Mountains.

So who knows the situation in the Taiyin Mountains best?

Of course it’s the guild.

What's so special about it? It's especially so because it's just the end of the first month of the year, which is the time when all the major guilds outside the Great Wall come out of the Taiyin Mountains.

The guilds are very clear about the situation in the Taiyin Mountains in the past year.

And after the imperial envoy finished asking.

Even several guild presidents wanted to curry favor with the imperial envoy and explain the situation.

But before the presidents of these guilds could finish speaking.

Lu Yuan, who was sitting next to the imperial envoy, raised his eyebrows and looked at the presidents and said coldly:
"You guys are the ones going to the Taiyin Mountains, right?
Shut up, is it your turn to speak?"

As Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone present looked at him strangely.

Hey, what does this mean?

Is this not allowed to be said?
The crowd looked at the imperial envoy standing beside them in confusion.

Why does this atmosphere feel a little off?
At this time, the imperial envoy looked at Lu Yuan with a confused look on his face.

At this time, Lu Yuan looked at the imperial envoy and frowned slightly and said:

"My Lord, why are you asking this?"

Lu Yuan's words were indeed a bit presumptuous.

When the imperial envoy looked at Lu Yuan, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

Why should I even tell you?

Are you being too arrogant, kid?

I gave you too much favor just now, didn’t I?
Lu Yuan suddenly interrupted the other guilds and stopped them from speaking.

On the other hand, you should first ask yourself what to do.

Are you a bit too arrogant?

What? You really think you have the final say over this place.

There are so many officials here, so many guild presidents, especially me, the imperial envoy who came here on the emperor's orders.

Are you giving me the cold shoulder at this time?

No, buddy, you must be hallucinating from all the bandit suppression during the first month of the year, right?
The imperial envoy frowned and looked at Lu Yuandao:

"President Lu, are you being a little too presumptuous?"

Actually speaking, Lu Yuan can't do that.

Not only did the imperial envoy just arrive, but he also took place in such an occasion, with all the officials from outside the Great Wall and the presidents of the guilds present.

It can be said that, except for the border troops, almost all the big figures outside the Great Wall gathered in this room.

What's the point of doing this at this time?
Slap the imperial envoy in the face in public?
Or are you threatening the imperial envoy?
Tell the imperial envoy that it is you, Yanxiang, who has the final say outside the pass? ?
Is it too arrogant?
To be honest, if it wasn't about Aunt Qingluan's mother, Lu Yuan really didn't want to confront her so directly.

After all, Lu Yuan is good at sneak attacks from behind.

This is a direct confrontation, and the other party is an imperial envoy. Lu Yuan really doesn't want to do it.

But this matter is really too much.

What did the imperial envoy mean when he asked whether there was a demon king in the Taiyin Mountains?
It is obvious that the imperial envoy still wants to capture the demon king in the Taiyin Mountains.

Of course, even if the Demon King is caught, the Yanxiang Society cannot be caught.

If we talk about demon kings, Aunt Qingluan can also be considered a demon king.

But they definitely won’t arrest Aunt Qingluan.

But whether or not to arrest Aunt Qingluan is the same as not arresting Aunt Qingluan. The important thing is that if the imperial envoy wants to capture the Demon King.

Aunt Qingluan would definitely not agree.

What's more, this matter also involved Aunt Qingluan's mother, Lu Yuan's mother-in-law.

What will happen if Aunt Qingluan doesn’t agree?
Of course, I would not cooperate with the imperial envoy.

Speaking of the matter between the emperor and the Liaodong border troops, the Yanxiang Society originally didn't want to get involved.

It is very dangerous for Yanxiang to get involved in this matter.

Originally, the two women in the family wanted to avoid this matter if possible and just observe from the sidelines.

It’s just because Lu Yuan knew that Gao Mingna was involved.

For this reason, Lu Yuan talked to the two women in his family several times during this period.

That’s why the two women in the family agreed to stand on the side of imperial power.

But if the imperial envoy came outside the pass and wanted to capture the demon king.

Basically, cooperation is absolutely impossible.

Lu Yuan meant the same thing.

Before, it was because of Gao Mingna, and after comprehensive consideration, it was indeed the most beneficial to be on good terms with the imperial power.

But if the imperial envoy plays this game, there will be no way to cooperate.

In fact, after Lu Yuan's family found out that the imperial jade pendant contained the essence and blood of Lu Yuan's mother-in-law, they could no longer cooperate.

So from the moment the imperial envoy mentioned the jade pendant, the cooperation no longer existed.

Let alone cooperation at this time, even Lu Yuan's family had to consider whether to help the border troops.

In this case, there is no need to be too merciful when speaking.

Lu Yuan was not polite at all to the imperial envoy's words, and said directly:
“Am I too presumptuous?

I think it is the adults who are too presumptuous.

Although this is outside the Great Wall, it is not the imperial city.

But even so, you must obey the law, sir.

It is clearly stated in "The Law of Shenling" that no matter whether it is the human race or the demon race, as long as they do not break the law and do not harm others.

We are all God Ling's people, don't you know this?"

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the imperial envoy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

And Lu Yuan immediately said:
"What's more, you keep talking about the blood of the demon king.

I don't think it's us who are too presumptuous, it's you who are too presumptuous!"

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, it was obvious that everyone present knew why Lu Yuan suddenly turned hostile.

It’s because of the Demon King.

As for why Yanxiang cares so much about the demon clan.

This is not particularly clear to everyone. Perhaps the Yanxiang Society has grown stronger over the years, with the help of the demon clan?

Or is it because after Yanxiang enters the Taiyin Mountains, she will not only have the help of Lady Hongfen, but also the help of the demon tribe?
Or maybe it's for some other reason.

But these are not particularly important. What’s important is that it shouldn’t be that important, right?
No matter what, they are just monsters.

Although it is true that according to the law both humans and demons are citizens of the empire.

But in fact, everyone knows that there is no such thing as a demon clan!

The human race occupies the best land in the empire, the most prosperous land, and the land most suitable for farming.

What about the demon clan?

The only way is to go in the mountains and plant some apple trees on those barren hills.

Take the demon tribe in the Taiyin Mountains for example.

Why don't they go to some places suitable for farming outside the Great Wall, but go to the Taiyin Mountains instead? Is it because they like evil spirits?
Of course not, it’s because humans cannot accommodate them, so they can only live in the mountains.

So even though they say that the demon race and the human race are the same.

But in fact, the demon race has not changed much from before.

Just tell me, how many high-ranking officials from the demon tribe are there in the imperial court?
not a single one.

Not to mention the high-ranking officials in the imperial court, just look at the county magistrates and officials outside the Great Wall.

There is not even a demon clan.

So, everyone knows some things. Of course, you can have a good relationship with the demon clan.

But you can't just confront the imperial envoy in public just for a demon clan, right?
This is really not very wise.

Again, is it that serious?
At this time, the imperial envoy also understood something.

It is understood that the reason why Lu Yuan suddenly behaved like this must be because there is a demon king among his friends or among his interests.

The imperial envoy was really confused about this matter.

Because before this incident happened again, the imperial envoy sent people to investigate.

I know the ins and outs of this Yanxiang Society.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that just now.

The imperial envoy really felt that Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.

Just for such a small matter, you turned against me in public, in front of everyone? You should know that we have already formed an alliance in private.

There is also a Lingju relationship in between.

What does it mean that you are suddenly getting angry and becoming like this?
Of course, although the imperial envoy really couldn’t understand why things had developed like this.

But the imperial envoy came to his senses and immediately wanted to find something to say.

But Lu Yuan didn't give the imperial envoy any chance at all.

As I said, outside the Great Wall is outside the Great Wall.

There are only two clouds above my head, one is the border army and the other is the guild.

This is a real local tyrant.

What's wrong with being an imperial envoy?
We are all equal, you need me and I need you.
But you killed my mother-in-law, so how can I still cooperate with you?
Impossible.
At this time, Lu Yuan had already stood up. As Lu Yuan stood up, Lu Yuan's family also stood up.

Then Lu Yuan looked at the stunned imperial envoy and said,

"If you don't agree, you won't agree with each other. Farewell!"

After Lu Yuan said this in a decisive tone, he walked straight towards the door.

At this time, Chen Zhifu stood up and wanted to persuade Lu Yuan,

Although Prefect Chen didn't quite understand why Lu Yuan suddenly got angry.

But Prefect Chen knew the relationship between Lu Yuan and Ling Ju.

But before Prefect Chen could speak.

Lu Yuan stopped and looked at the guild presidents at another table.

These presidents are all in a state of confusion now.

No one expected that things would develop to this point.

Lu Yuan looked at these people without hesitation and said directly:

“Everyone.

The food at Yushizhai is not that delicious.

Although today we are the only ones having dinner at Yushizhai.

But the problem is that the food in Yushizhai is all high-end.

It is extremely complicated to make, and there are many things to pay attention to when eating it.

You haven't eaten anything since this morning, so your stomach must be rumbling, right?
If we continue to wait at this time, I’m afraid we’ll be hungry for a long time.”

Lu Yuan's words had hidden meanings, and everyone present was not a fool, so they naturally understood what Lu Yuan was saying.

At this time, Lu Yuan continued:
“The banquet has been set up in Zhao’s residence.

If anyone is hungry and wants to eat, follow me now and you will have food immediately.

If you don't want to follow me, then stay here and eat those exquisite and delicious dishes, but you don't know when you will be able to eat them.

I just want to advise people who are planning to stay here to eat, the food looks good though.

But it takes too long to make, so you can’t eat it with confidence.

Don't starve to death by then.

At the banquet in the Zhao Mansion, each person has one seat. After the banquet begins, others cannot enter."

After saying that, Lu Yuan opened the door and left the room.

At this time, the presidents at the dinner table.

You looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone was filled with panic.

Everyone understood what Lu Yuan meant.

If I stay here, it means I will completely break with Yanxiang Society.

But if I leave, I will completely offend the imperial envoy.

The current situation is really difficult for everyone.

It is obvious that no one can afford to offend either side.

Everyone feels helpless when things turn out like this.

How come it turned out like this out of nowhere?
If I had known it would be like this this afternoon, I would have rather not come today.

These presidents weighed the pros and cons.

Suddenly someone stood up.

And this person was not just someone else, but the president of one of the six top guilds outside the Great Wall.

Why is it originally?
Because now everyone outside the pass knows that there is only one truly top-level guild, and that is the Yanxiang Guild.

And this person was very close to the Yu Ma Society before and had secretly harmed the Yan Xiang Society.

After he stood up, he smiled and bowed to the president at his table.

Then he bowed to the official at the opposite table, the imperial envoy, and said with a smile:

"My lord, you don't know.

I am old and my stomach is not in good condition.

I haven't eaten anything since this morning.

If we don't eat something, we'll starve to death.

So, I'll take my leave first. We have to go to President Lu's house to get something to eat."

After saying that, the president waved his sleeves and left the room in full view of everyone.

At this time, everyone at the table of presidents considered for a while again.

Ok……

For now, it seems that it would be better to follow Yanxiang.

After all, those who understand the current situation outside the Great Wall understand it.

Now the Yanxiang Society has the final say, and following the Yanxiang Society means you will have food to eat.

This imperial envoy seems to be of high status, but the problem is, he doesn’t provide any food.

As for revenge later on.

There is also a saying that the law does not hold everyone responsible.

Even if the imperial envoy wants to do something in the future, his target will be the Yanxiang Society.

Does he have the ability to destroy all the guilds outside the customs?

So everyone is safe.

In that case, someone stood up and said a few words casually, then left immediately.

Especially those people who walked in front, they did not have a very good relationship with the Yanxiang Club before.

But they left first.

What does this mean?
The guild leaders who remained were not fools. They thought about it for a moment and realized...
Understood! !

This is a great opportunity to show your loyalty!

Look at these guilds. They used to follow the top guilds to deal with the Yanxiang Guild.

In the past, the Yanxiang Society had always disliked these guilds.

When you take the cable bridge, the bridge toll is very high.

But if they went into the Zhao Mansion to have a feast today, all the previous grudges would be resolved.

After figuring this out.

The presidents of these guilds were panicked.

I grass!

This won’t do!!
We have to go quickly too!!!

And the next scene is interesting.

The previous presidents at least said some high-sounding words when they left.

But the presidents who came after him really didn’t say a word.

He didn't even look at the imperial envoy whose face turned pale.

Get up and run out!

If one of them runs away, the rest of the presidents will follow him.

For a moment, the panicked presidents blocked the door.

After the final burst of loud noise.

There was only a table of officials left in the room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

This……

"presumptuous!!!
It’s so outrageous!!!”

A roar suddenly rang out in the room.
