Four eyes meet!

  Liu Wu's face was expressionless, but a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, someone who didn't open their eyes came out.

  "Liu Wuxie, I know about your relationship with him, and there's no real husband-and-wife bond between you two. As long as you're willing to annul the engagement, from now on in the Imperial City, I can protect you."

  Yang Junxuan had long recognized Liu Wuxie, and with so many things happening in the Imperial City recently, he had already heard about it.

  I heard his wife was beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be this stunning.

  "Are you teasing me?" Liu Wuxie smiled.

  For the first time someone dared to say such a thing in front of him, even if it were the emperor himself, no one would dare say this. What kind of person is he?

  "I know there's some conflict between you and Prince Yongzhao. Given the relationship between my father and Prince Yongzhao, if you agree to dissolve the engagement, I can resolve the grudge between you two."

  Yang Junxuan was very confident, his father had long since surrendered to Yongzhao Wang.

  Now in the Imperial City, it can be said that one hand covers the sky.

  "Give you three breaths time, disappear from in front of me immediately!"

  Liu Wuxie rubbed his temples and thought, "What a bunch of riffraff, not even willing to say one more word to Yang Junxuan."

  Killing an ant and then despising one's own hand for being dirty.

  "Liu Wuxie, you're so bold, how dare you speak to Young Master Yang like that, are you tired of living?"

  Another young master from a wealthy family jumped out from the side and pointed at Liu Wuxie's nose.

  He was just an ordinary student at Imperial Academy, far inferior compared to these family heirs.

  "One more breath!"

  Ignoring the loud shouting beside her, the chill in her eyes grew thicker and thicker, Xu Lingxue did not stop.

  The noise of their conversation startled many people, who all turned to look at them.

  Most people know that Liu Wuxie is very powerful, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes.

  Because all the people who have seen it are dead, the rumors may not be true.

  "Is this young man the one who cured the Emperor's illness?"

  Several ministers huddled together, whispering to each other, their eyes inadvertently sweeping over Liu Wuxie.

  When his eyes swept across Xu Lingxue's face, a hint of astonishment and a touch of shock flashed out.

  "It doesn't seem like anything special, just like an ordinary person. I thought he had three heads and six arms!"

  Mixed with some sarcasm, more than half of the officials had long since stood on the side of King Yong of Yan.

  Facing the threat of Liu Wuxie, Yang Junxuan remained unmoved. Several young masters from noble families walked over to support Yang Junxuan.

  "Bang!"

  No one saw clearly, Liu Wuxie's right hand suddenly lifted up and slapped down heavily.

  Next!

  Yang Junxuan's body flew backward, a dozen teeth spewed out of his mouth, and fresh blood stained the bluestone floor.

  Who would have thought that Liu Wuxie really made a move?

  Three breaths, just three breaths, no more, no less.

  I'm speechless!

  Everyone was stunned, in front of so many ministers, openly injuring someone, Liu Wuxie was too reckless.

  Bang!

  Yang Junxuan was knocked to the ground with a thud, dazed and confused, letting out a pained wail as half of his face swelled up.

  Young Master!

  The attending guards quickly stepped forward, helping Yang Junxuan up. He looked utterly miserable, his mouth twisted to one side. Liu Wuxie's slap had been merciless.

  "Kill him for me!"

  Yang Junxuan was so enraged that he completely lost his composure, and in front of everyone, the dignified Shangshu Fu's young master was slapped in the face. From now on, how could he stand tall in the imperial capital?

  Several guards dared not disobey Young Master's order, drew their weapons and charged towards Liu Wuxie.

  "Looking for death!"

  Teach Yang Junxuan a lesson and it's all over. Since they're asking for trouble, Liu Wuxie will be their nemesis.

  The blade emerged from its scabbard, transforming into a streak of sharp knife light that flashed and disappeared.

  "Hahaha..."

  Bloody flowers burst in the air, and the five approaching guards froze in place, unable to take another step forward. A thin wound was left on their necks.

  One sword kills five people, clean and efficient!

  I'm speechless!

  Outside the palace gate stood nearly a hundred people, in a state of stunned silence. Liu Wuxie dared to kill someone openly, what kind of regard did he have for imperial power?

  "Liu Wuxie, you have a big nerve, daring to openly kill someone. Come and take him down for me."

  Xue Chunyu appeared, shouting loudly, with a team of heavily armored soldiers behind him, surrounding Liu Wuxie and preparing to execute him on the spot.

  It didn't come out early, nor did it come out late. It waited until Liu Wuxie had killed someone before suddenly jumping out. This is also a bit too coincidental, isn't it?

  "Everyone, back off! Who dares to touch him?"

  From behind Liu Wuxie, a heavy footsteps came, and another row of heavy armor soldiers rushed over, standing behind Liu Wuxie, facing off against the heavy armor soldiers brought by Xue Chunyu.

  "Prince Yu Yang, are you planning to cover up for this person? Liu Wu Xie killed someone in public, disregarding imperial authority. According to the law, he should be beheaded."

  Chen Yusheng had just arrived and hadn't even had time to get off his horse when the clash broke out on this side, fortunately he arrived in time.

  The ministers and young masters of aristocratic families who had gathered around him all retreated in a hurry, lest they be implicated.

  These two men, one representing King Yong of Yan and the other representing the imperial family of Great Yan, would be offending either party if they were to side with the other.

  Rather than helping each other, they just stood by and watched with a look of onlookers.

  "Xue Chunyu, you're the one who disregards imperial authority, aren't you? They were the ones who made the move, Liu Wuxie was just defending himself. What qualifications do you have to say something like that?"

  Chen Yusheng sneered at him, just a small household servant, if he hadn't fawned on King Yongzhao, he would have been slapped to death long ago.

  What just happened is clear to everyone's eyes: Yang Junxuan provoked first and Liu Wuxie struck back afterwards.

  "Prince Yuyang, I won't argue with you, Liu Wuxie has injured the son of the Minister of Justice and killed several guards, this is ironclad evidence, no one can refute it."

  Xue Chunyu's face was gloomy, and he didn't show the slightest fear towards King Yu Yang. This banquet today seems to be not so simple after all.

  It hasn't started yet, but it's already filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. The confrontation between the two sides has officially begun.

  The emergence of Liu Wuxie broke the balance between each other, and the contradictions thoroughly surfaced.

  "Xue Shilang, what do you want then?"

  Yu Yang Wang hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Wu Xie had already opened his mouth, saying that no matter what tricks the other side had, he could bring them out, and he really didn't put them in his eyes.

  Below the realm of true dan, one comes and he kills one.

  "According to the law, you should be beheaded, but since this is your first offense, I will have you imprisoned in the great jail for now and await further instructions."

  Xue Chunyu spoke with righteous words and a just tone, as if he were the embodiment of justice itself. With an air of dignity and authority, he actually wanted to throw Liu Wuxie into prison.

  This answer didn't surprise Liu Wuxie at all; he had already said it once before.

  "Xue Shilang, how is your son's body now?"

  Liu Wuxie suddenly changed the subject, and before his words had fallen, a sharp killing intent flashed in the depths of Xue Chunyu's eyes.

  This is his lifelong pain, and he only has this precious son, but was disabled by Liu Wuxie, and from then on, cut off the descendants.

  "Willow, you evil one, I want you dead!"

  Xue Shilang's whole body trembled with rage, his face twisted in a scowl. The blow was vicious, striking right at Xue Chunyu's weak point. The conflict between them was already severe enough; what was Liu Wuxie trying to achieve by doing this? Wasn't he just adding fuel to the fire?

  Enraged Xue Chunyu, what benefits him, really starting a big war, who loses is not certain, hiding many masters in the dark.

  "You want to kill me?" A sneer appeared on Liu Wuxie's face "Just with you, this trash."

  These words are quite vicious, when it comes to a poisonous tongue, even ten Xue Chunyu tied together wouldn't be a match for Liu Wu Xie.

  Attack people's minds, the best way is to provoke the opponent, let him lose his rationality, and then there will be opportunities to take advantage of.

  These people present are all big shots in the Imperial City, and being scolded as trash in front of them would make it impossible to save face, and afterwards they would be too ashamed to show their faces.

  "Brush!"

  The long sword was drawn from its scabbard, and Chao Liu slashed down without any evil intentions, but Xue Chunyu's anger ignited a fire in her heart.

  "Xue Shilang, you have a big nerve, daring to injure someone in front of the palace gate. According to the law, you should be beheaded!"

  It sounds so familiar, Chen Yusheng shouted loudly.

  It was the same words, first spoken by Xue Chunyu and then by Chen Yusheng, with their roles simply swapped.

  Everyone's face changed suddenly, they all fell into Liu Wuxie's trap.

  With just a few words, Xue Chunyu was forced to take action, and he also violated the law.

  "Xue Shilang, did you hear that? Now you've also broken the law, we're even. Do you still want to throw me in jail?"

  Liu Wuxie's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and his eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. Fighting him would be a far cry from being evenly matched.

  No one had expected things to develop to this extent, both sides had violated the rules, and neither of them was qualified to capture the other.

  Chen Yusheng reacted quickly enough, shouting out in the first moment, he had long been taught by Liu Wuxie's wisdom, and at the first opening of his mouth, he had already guessed that Liu Wuxie was digging a pit, waiting for Xue Chunyu to jump in.

  Xue Chunyu's eyes were wide with anger, his mustache bristling. If looks could kill, Liu Wuxie would have died at least a thousand times by now.

  At this time!

  The palace gate slowly opened.

  "Your Majesty has summoned, everyone enter the grand hall!"

  A eunuch came out and shouted, the crowd woke up from their shock, adjusted their clothes, and rushed through the palace gate to the main hall.

  A farce ended in this way, and five guards died for nothing.

  The unluckiest was Yang Junxuan, whose left face was swollen like a pig's head, and the pain made him inhale sharply. After standing up, he glared fiercely at Liu Wuxie, this matter wasn't over between them.

  "Nothing's wrong, let's go in too!"

  Chen Yusheng walked over, nodded at Xu Lingshuang, and said in a low voice.

  Along the stone steps, the three of them entered the palace. Liu Wuxie had been here once before and was familiar with the route. All along the way, Xu Lingxue didn't say a word.

  Crossing the threshold, everyone enters the Shenwu Temple.

  "Mr. Liu, this way, please!"

  The other ministers hurriedly moved to both sides and soon found their own positions, sitting down in order of official rank.

  Liu Wuxie participated for the first time and had no fixed position. A small eunuch came over, bowed his waist and made a gesture of invitation.

  "Go!"

  King Yuyang nodded and let him pass, today he was the protagonist.

  Under the introduction of Xiao Taijian, the two walked to the very top and sat down at a table set up especially for them, on an equal level with the emperor, something that had never happened before.

  Even if he were King Yongzheng, he wouldn't have the qualifications to sit in the first position below the hall.

  "Hasn't he made a mistake? He's just a lowly commoner, yet he dares to sit on an equal level with Your Majesty."

  Many ministers stood up, showing dissatisfaction, thinking that Liu Wuxie was not qualified to sit there.
