No title, no marriage? Do you think I'm some kind of lapdog?

The audience was silent.

Only Su Chuang's laughter drifted on the wind, continuing to echo in everyone's ears.

"you!"

"How dare you flirt with me!"

Ye Qingyue pointed at Su Chuang with one finger and angrily rebuked him.

"hehe…"

Su Chuang's laughter was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

As his gaze swept downwards, he caught a glimpse of Ye Qingyue's ashen face and the whiteness of her knuckles as she gripped the cup.

He sneered inwardly, "Can't even handle this?"

His revenge has only just begun; it's far from over!

Five years of devoted effort were all wasted on an ungrateful wretch; this is just collecting a little interest!

"General Ye?"

"You're overestimating yourself."

"I have no interest in teasing secondhand goods."

Su Chuang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, stretched out his legs, leaned back in his chair, and looked relaxed and content.

He found Ye Qingyue's silver armor and red cloak very glaring.

The original owner pawned his family heirloom breastplate to get this set of armor.

"You should know that I'm a germaphobe and I hate dirt."

After saying that, he glanced at Yue Xinyang, whose face had turned pale.

"Young Master Yue, don't you think so?"

"You should understand the meaning of the word 'second-hand' better than I do."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again to rest.

He had no time to observe Ye Qingyue and Yue Xinyang's expressions.

He was now just praying that the banquet would start quickly so he could complete the system task, leave this place, and see what kind of business he would do for his first deal.

Are you selling alcohol?

Or should we sell candy?

Or perhaps they're exploiting legal loopholes to sell their poems?

"I will kill you!"

Ye Qingyue was furious and embarrassed, and could no longer control her emotions.

They forgot that Emperor Wu's eldest daughter, Princess Ruxue, was sitting to the side.

"presumptuous!"

Ru Xue frowned and gave a low shout.

"Brother Chuang was personally arranged by Father Emperor to preside over this victory celebration!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and instantly the Imperial Guards, clad in full armor and armed with sharp weapons, appeared all around!

"We pay our respects to Duke Xin."

Some people in the vicinity, who were assessing the situation, immediately knelt down and worshipped.

This triggered a chain reaction, with people kneeling on the ground in droves.

"What? You have a problem with that?"

Su Chuang would not let go of such an opportunity to strike and humiliate Ye Qingyue.

He just wanted to embarrass the other person!

In five years, even a dog would wag its tail and beg for your affection.

Little did they know that a human is not even as good as a dog!

"Greetings, Duke Xin!"

Ye Qingyue gritted her teeth, wishing she could devour Su Chuang's flesh and blood raw.

"hehe…"

"No need for formalities!"

Su Chuang waved his hand dismissively.

"good!"

"It's about time, let's begin the banquet."

As soon as Princess Ruxue finished speaking, many maids and servants appeared around her, carrying various special dishes and placing them on the dining table.

Because it is late autumn, there are people who have set up bonfires in the open space in the center to keep warm.

"tasty!"

"It tastes much better than the food in the manor."

Of all these, Su Chuang had the strongest appetite.

Instead of using chopsticks, they picked it up with their hands and started eating heartily.

"Yue Fei, don't stand there. There's so much food; don't waste it."

As Su Chuang spoke, he called out to Yue Fei, who was now protecting him from behind.

"No, no, subordinate, just stand there."

"Just come when I tell you to. Don't make me say it twice!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei stopped insisting, sat down on the spot, and placed the Liquan Spear between his legs.

When Su Chuang handed the food to Yue Fei, he noticed that the other man's fingers trembled slightly as he took the food.

He instantly realized that this blockhead was probably secretly pleased.

"Find a clean bag and pack a lot of this food in there."

Su Chuang held a leg of lamb in his left hand, took a bite out of the meat, and was chewing it while whispering instructions to Yue Fei.

He wouldn't forget that there was a large group of people in the mansion waiting to eat and drink.

"Brother Chuang...eat slowly."

"There's plenty more to do here; no one's going to take it from you."

Princess Ruxue ate slowly and deliberately, not forgetting to turn her head to look at Su Chuang.

"Also, my father asked me to tell you that he specifically arranged for the Imperial Guards to be hidden in the shadows."

He said, "You can cause as much trouble as you want at today's banquet; he'll take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Su Chuang rubbed his fingertips against the wine glass.

He thought to himself, "This old emperor is really using me as a tool, but he's also really backing me up."

He needs to find the right balance.

"Well, please excuse my poor table manners, Princess. It's just that I haven't had any meat in a long time."

He wasn't embarrassed and continued to eat heartily.

Princess Ruxue not only showed no disgust, but watched with great interest.

"snort!"

"This kind of eating is simply uncivilized!"

"If I had known His Majesty wouldn't come himself, but instead sent a down-on-his-luck prince like you, I wouldn't have come!"

After saying that, he downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp and smashed the bowl on the ground.

"clang!"

Yue Fei immediately stood up, intending to teach the person who had spoken a lesson, but Su Chuang stopped him.

"You must be Wang Shuo, the commander of the Whirlwind Battalion of the Divine Might Army under General Ye Qingyue."

He slowly raised his head, but he was still eating.

Even after finishing eating, they still take a couple more bites!

"Since you know it's me, you still dare to look down on me like this!"

Wang Shuo stood up abruptly and glared at Su Chuang.

"hehe…"

Su Chuang noticed that this was the result of Ye Qingyue's tacit approval.

"You? You're nothing but Ye Qingyue's dog, how dare you bark at me?"

He tilted his head, took a big gulp of wine, and spoke the harshest words in a calm tone.

"You! You're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo's face flushed red. Unable to contain his anger any longer, he immediately stood up, determined to teach Su Chuang a lesson for his boastful words!

"snort!"

"Arrogant and fierce soldiers!"

"Yue Fei, teach this General Wang a lesson about etiquette in the capital!"

"Also, watch your strength. This is a victory celebration, not a slaughterhouse!"

Su Chuang said slowly!

He didn't look at Wang Shuo, but simply picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

He knew very well that, in terms of martial arts, none of the people present could match Yue Fei even once!

When it's time to be assertive, be assertive!

Otherwise, people would still think he's a pushover, someone who can be easily manipulated!

"Here you go!"

Yue Fei clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, jumped into the open space in the center, and casually placed the Li Quan Spear to one side!

"Hahaha! How arrogant!"

"I will show you, these pampered officials in the capital, the martial prowess of my northern frontier soldiers!"

Seeing that Yue Fei was not using a weapon, Wang Shuo also threw his scimitar on the ground.

"drink!"

Yue Fei acted decisively, as the saying goes: "A subject dies when his lord is disgraced!"

Bang!

Wang Shuo tried to block with both arms, but Yue Fei's punch was so powerful that it sent him flying!

He slammed his fist on three food counters before stopping, wailing in pain, completely losing his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor.

The whole process took no more than two breaths.

"That's it? That's it?"

"His abilities are mediocre, but he's quite good at spouting nonsense!"

"Are all the soldiers in the northern frontier this kind of trash?"

Su Chuang shook his head at this.

He thought Wang Shuo was some kind of expert, but it turns out he's just a pushover!

"Come to Yue Fei, have a drink to warm yourself up!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei was about to turn around when another fearless individual jumped out!

Judging from its momentum, it is probably much stronger than the previous one.

"My lord, please wait a few breaths. After dealing with this man, then drink this cup!"

The visitor became enraged upon hearing this:

"How arrogant!"
