On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

"You won't give it to me?"

Sai Luoli tilted her head, her tone sweet and cloying: "Then I'll just have to tell those Martial Grandmasters outside that Ye Shitian is an imposter~~"

"How long do you think the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion can last?"

"Giggle giggle~~~"

A seductive laugh rang out!

Ye Fan held the teacup and blew on it to cool it down.

"random."

Sai Luoli's smile froze.

She had expected Ye Fan to follow up those two words with a threat like "You dare?" or "Try it."

But Ye Fan really only said two words, and then continued drinking his tea!

It's not a bravado of composure, but a genuine indifference!

Sai Luoli stared at Ye Fan for a full five breaths before finally standing up, tossing her crimson skirt aside: "Interesting!"

Turn around and leave!

The moment I stepped out of the gate of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, a hunchbacked retainer followed me from the shadows!

"Miss, where does that boy's confidence come from?"

Sai Luoli took more than ten steps before speaking: "Two possibilities!"

"First, Ye Shitian is not dead; he's hiding in the shadows protecting him!"

"second……"

She paused for a moment: "He has a trump card that we don't know about."

The hunched old man frowned: "Ye Shitian couldn't possibly be alive!"

"The Eternal God-Sealing Array of the Star-Moon Sacred Land, built five hundred years ago, collapsed on the spot! This old servant witnessed it with his own eyes!"

"I know!"

Sai Luoli turned around and glanced at the gate of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion: "That's why it's interesting."

She climbed onto the carriage.

"No rush, let's observe for a few days. This kid... he's a bit intriguing."

……

Inside the lobby.

Ye Fan put down his teacup and glanced around.

Consort Xiao Rong and Consort Xiao Ya were there, as was Shen Hong, but one person was missing.

"Where is Eighth Sister?"

Consort Xiao Rong said, "I was summoned by someone from the palace early this morning, who said the emperor wanted to see me."

Ye Fan frowned.

Li Youruo always took the initiative to see him, so when did it turn out the other way around?

"Did you say what it was about?"

Consort Xiao shook her head: "The eunuch only said it was an urgent matter of state."

Before Ye Fan could think any further, Wang Danian rushed in from outside.

"Your Highness! Someone from the palace has come again! They want to invite you to the palace for a meeting!"

Ye Fan stood up.

Something is wrong!

"Walk!"

……

The Imperial Palace, the Golden Throne Hall.

When Ye Fan stepped into the main hall, the first person he saw was Shen Murong.

She stood in the military commander's position, her face ashen, her right hand resting on the sword at her waist, as if she were about to draw her sword and kill someone at any moment!

The second thing you see is five people standing in the center of the hall!

矮！

Their average height is less than 1.6 meters!

The leader, dressed in a gaudy, wide robe with a samurai sword hanging at his waist, raised his chin and spoke in a condescending tone!

Even though he had to look up at everyone present!

"Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Xia! My Fusang ruler has sent us here for only one purpose..."

The leading envoy spoke slowly and deliberately: "Your Zhenbei Prince's Mansion killed my Fusang merchants!"

"One hundred and twenty-three lives lost! The King of Fusang demands an explanation!"

Li Youruo sat expressionless on the dragon throne.

The envoy continued, "If Great Xia does not provide an explanation, my 30,000 Japanese sea warriors will harass all merchant ships in Great Xia's waters!"

"The safety of the coastal people is something the Emperor of Great Xia should consider himself!"

Shen Murong gripped the sword hilt tightly!

Suddenly, a eunuch shouted:

"The Prince of Zhenbei has arrived!"

Li Youruo's gaze passed over the envoy and landed on Ye Fan, who had just stepped into the main hall!

Swish-!

The five envoys turned back.

The leader glanced at Ye Fan and said disdainfully, "You're the Prince of Zhenbei? So young, yet so audacious! You killed a merchant from Fusang, do you know your crime?"

Ye Fan walked in.

He walked at a steady pace, step by step, to the envoy.

He was a full head taller than the other person.

Looking down at the other person as if they were an insect!

"Fuso?"

Ye Fan smiled.

That smile made all five envoys take a half step back!

"You dare call yourselves Fusang?"

The leading envoy blushed and shouted, "What do you mean?!"

Ye Fan turned to face Li Youruo, his voice not loud, but clear enough for the entire Golden Palace to hear: "Fusang means the sun rising in the east. It is the tree where the ancient divine bird roosted!"

"You bunch of worthless scum, worthy of having an ancient country's name?"

"Pass on my message: From this day forward, Great Xia will not recognize the name of Fusang!"

"From this day forward, this country will have only one name!"

"Wo! The army and the ronin are all Japanese pirates!"

After the last sentence was uttered, the hall fell into a deathly silence!

"Wa!" means short. People from Fusang (Japan) are not tall to begin with, so being called "Wa" was incredibly humiliating!

Shen Murong was also stunned, not expecting Ye Fan to be so assertive!

The leading envoy's face went from red to purple, then from purple to white: "You—!"

Ye Fan didn't give him a chance to speak and continued:

"First, issue a nationwide warrant for the arrest of all Japanese pirates; kill them all on sight!"

"Second, Eighth Sister!"

Shen Murong suddenly looked up.

"Deploy 300,000 elite troops from the 800,000-strong army to garrison the coast!"

"Any Japanese pirates or ronin who set foot in the waters of Great Xia shall be killed without exception!"

"good!"

Shen Murong did not hesitate.

The leading envoy finally realized what was happening and turned to Li Youruo in a rage: "The Emperor of Great Xia! Who does he think he is? How dare a mere prince make decisions for you?"

"Who is truly the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?!"

Li Youruo sat on the dragon throne, her tone icy:

"The Prince of Zhenbei's words are my will!"

"Don't you understand?"

The envoy's pupils contracted, finally realizing something was wrong. He grabbed the people around him and tried to leave, saying, "Fine! Fine! Fine! Since Great Xia wants to be our enemy, let's go!"

A hand rested on the envoy's shoulder!

Ye Fan's voice rang in his ears, eerily calm:

"Who let you leave?"

The envoy froze!

Ye Fan raised his head and glanced at the imperial guards at the palace gate: "Drag them out!"

"Outside the Meridian Gate, behead them and display their heads to the public."

"You dare!"

The envoy screamed, "I am an envoy from Japan! In times of war, envoys are not to be killed! Killing me is tantamount to declaring war on Japan!"

Ye Fan released his grip.

He stepped back, looking down at the five short figures with a cold, unfeeling gaze.

"First, the Japanese pirates were not a country."

"Secondly, not to kill envoys? Do you even deserve that?"

"third--"

Ye Fan bent down slightly, leaned close to the envoy's ear, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I said, we're declaring war."

"Drag it away!"

The Imperial Guards surged forward!

Five envoys were dragged out of the Golden Palace like dead dogs, their agonizing screams echoing through the corridor.

All the civil and military officials in the main hall knelt down.

"Long live the Prince of Zhenbei! Long live the Prince of Zhenbei! Long live the Prince of Zhenbei!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

……

Ye Fan and Shen Murong left the palace together. Shen Murong asked curiously, "Little brother, you seem to really dislike the Japanese pirates?"

Ye Fan said coldly, "These people are wolves in sheep's clothing; their desire to destroy our Great Xia is relentless!"

"Don't be polite with them, just kill the Japanese pirates on sight!"

"good!"

Shen Murong didn't ask any more questions. Xiao Fan must have his reasons for doing this!

Awooo—!

At this moment, a mournful cry of birds and beasts came from the sky above the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Ye Fan looked up and saw a huge bird with seven-colored feathers flying in from outside the city, heading towards the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. When it reached a height of about 100 meters, Ye Fan recognized the person sitting on the bird's back at a glance!

Ye Weini!

She was injured, and the seven-colored bird beneath her finally lost its strength, crashing into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion like a meteor!

Ye Fan rushed out, shouting, "Eighth Sister, something's happened! Go back quickly!"
