Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"what?!"

Lu Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, "What happened, tell me quickly!"

"After the emperor arrived in Jiangnan, he was personally received by Li Guan, the governor of Liangjiang."

"Every corrupt official punished along the way will recognize some of Li Guan's crimes when confessing."

"After meeting Li Guan, the emperor became furious and determined to punish him."

"Li Guan said that he would hold a banquet at the official residence tonight to welcome the emperor!"

Lu Yuan said anxiously, "Hurry up and tell the emperor that this must be the Hongmen Banquet."

"You don't need me to tell you, the emperor can see it himself."

Liu Ninglu smiled bitterly and said, "After learning about Li Guan's evil intentions, the emperor became even more angry."

"He ordered the Imperial Guards to pretend to be palace maids and eunuchs, and also asked Qing Cang Guards to lurk around the official residence."

"He said he would take this opportunity to kill Li Guan directly at the Hongmen Banquet."

Lu Yuan suddenly had a headache and pressed his temples.

Before returning to Liaocheng, he had already reminded the emperor not to touch Li Guan easily.

At that time, the emperor fully agreed, and he left with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about Li Guan's various crimes along the way.

The emperor went straight up and ignored his reminder.

This Hongmen Banquet was equivalent to Li Guan's last try.

He would definitely let the bald demon hide in the banquet to ensure nothing went wrong.

How could the Forbidden Army and Qingcang Guard be Gu Immortal's opponents?

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Liu Ninglu said anxiously: "It is not convenient for my identity to be exposed. Even if it is exposed, I will not be able to persuade the emperor."

"If the emperor goes to the banquet, he will definitely go there and never return!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath to calm down and said in a deep voice, "Ninglu, let's rush back to Jiangnan as quickly as possible."

"You continue to keep an eye on the emperor's every move, and report anything unusual to me at any time."

"Even if the emperor is knocked unconscious, he must not be allowed to go to the banquet. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Immediately, Lu Yuan gathered everyone together without further ado.

"Your Majesty is in danger, we must rush back!"

"Li Yan, please continue to stay in Liaocheng and let me know if anything happens."

"Why?!"

Su Liyan suddenly became unhappy, "Last time you went to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the mountains and rivers by yourself, and left me here alone."

"This time, I will go with my husband no matter what!"

"Li Yan, be good, this time the situation is more urgent."

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Li Guan has a great Gu Immortal demon who wants to kill the emperor."

"If the emperor really has any shortcomings, Liegan will definitely be in chaos. This matter is not trivial and should not be trivial."

Su Liyan was a little angry, "Although my strength is not as good as Sister Lingju, I'm not the worst here."

"Even if you deal with Gu Immortal, you may not be able to help."

She glanced at the other girls, passing through Lingju, Xiling, and Siren one by one.

In the end, it settled on Guishu.

"In this way, you stay in Liaocheng while my husband and I go!"

Su Liyan glared threateningly, "If you don't accept it, then compete with me!"

Guishu didn't make a move against Su Liyan and shrank his neck timidly.

"Master, I am willing to stay in Liaocheng..."

Lu Yuan said firmly, "Although your cultivation level is not high, you are very important and indispensable."

"Li Yan, the situation is now imminent, please stop making trouble unreasonably."

"go!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan waved his hand and left with Lingju, Shai Ling, Guishu and Siren.

Su Liyan was left alone in the room, so angry that she almost shed tears.

……

Rushing back to Jiangnan this time is more urgent than returning to Liaocheng before.

Lu Yuan led Lingju and others on their way at full speed without stopping.

Hurrying slowly all the way, we finally arrived at Jiangnan in the evening.

In the palace, Emperor Yongle put on a brand new dragon robe.

He had a dagger on his waist and seemed to be getting ready to go.

They met Lu Yuan, who was sweating profusely and panting.

"Yuan'er, why are you back?"

Emperor Yongle raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I am about to go to the banquet."

"Your Majesty, I came back to stop you."

Lu Yuan gasped and said in a deep voice, "You can't go to this banquet!"

"Why?"

Emperor Yongle was slightly startled and said with a smile, "Yuan'er, are you worried that Li Guan will hold a Hongmen banquet and murder grandpa?"

"Don't worry, grandpa has long seen through his vicious heart."

"Yuan Zhen led two hundred Qingcang guards and sneaked into the vicinity of Li Guan's residence."

"He has issued a military order to eliminate all hidden risks and ensure that I have a worry-free trip."

As he spoke, Emperor Yongle showed a sharp anger in his eyes.

"This Li Guan was promoted by me single-handedly."

"At the beginning, I did not argue between loyalty and treachery, but in front of all the civil and military officials, I praised him as a role model for all ministers."

"Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed of others!"

"So, I must kill him with my own hands for being so cowardly!"

"Just stay here and wait for my good news."

After that, Emperor Yongle walked directly past Lu Yuan.

He shouted sharply, "Are you all ready?"

"Your Majesty, you are ready!"

Zhan Hong said loudly, "One hundred elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army, all disguised as attendants and slaves."

"I swear to help His Majesty eradicate traitors and uphold the law of the country!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Yongle perked up and said loudly, "Let's go!"

Seeing a large group of people, they were about to leave the palace.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and rushed towards Emperor Yongle again, standing in front of him.

"Yuan'er, I have already said that you don't need to ask about this matter."

Emperor Yongle narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"

"Your Majesty, my grandson is not here to stop you."

Lu Yuan said sincerely, "I just want Hai'er to sing a song for the emperor and wish him good luck in martial arts!"

"No need."

Emperor Yongle waved his hand impatiently.

"It won't be too late to listen to me after I get rid of the traitorous minister."

return?

If you really go, will you still be able to come back?

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said bravely, "Haier, sing!"

The Siren immediately stepped forward and started singing with all his heart.

"You two little bastards, can you please stop making trouble?"

Emperor Yongle was angry and funny, and he was helpless.

Suddenly, my brain felt dizzy, my vision went dark, and my feet felt dizzy.

He fell to the ground with a thud and fainted.

"emperor!"

Zhan Hong rushed forward with a look of horror on his face and glared at Lu Yuan angrily.

"Lu Yuan, what have you done to the Emperor?!"

"I'm saving the emperor."

Lu Yuan's expression returned to being cold and sharp.

"Commander Zhan, I order you to protect the emperor."

"No one is allowed to come even half a step closer to him."

Zhan Hong was originally filled with anger.

However, after seeing Lu Yuan's cold eyes.

I instantly felt a chill running through my bones.

He nodded almost uncontrollably: "Yes..."

"Master Shizi, what should I do about Li Guan?"

Zhan Hong said worriedly, "The emperor has agreed to go to the banquet."

"If he doesn't show up, he must be suspicious."

"rest assured."

A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth.

"I will attend this banquet for the emperor!"

Immediately, Lu Yuan took Wei Ling and others out of the palace.Watching his leaving figure, Zhan Hong couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"Your Majesty, what exactly have you been through?"

"Why is the aura on his body even more terrifying than the emperor's?"

……

Soon, Lu Yuan led Xiling, Lingju, Siren, Liu Ninglu, and Guishu to Li Guan's official residence.

He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Ju'er, Ninglu."

"You two are good at hiding, so hide in the dark."

"If someone makes a move during the banquet, you will suddenly attack as a surprise force."

"Yes."

The two girls nodded.

Lingju closed his eyes and recited the magic formula, then disappeared directly.

Liu Ninglu turned into a wisp of smoke, which was impossible to detect without looking closely.

"Siren, Shailing, you two stay with me."

Lu Yuan continued to order, "There is no need to worry about Li Guan during the banquet."

"Just keep an eye on that Gu Immortal to judge when he will take action."

"Yes."

The siren clenched his fists excitedly, not even the slightest bit afraid when facing Gu Immortal.

There was also a hint of fighting intent in Xiling Ling's beautiful, cold eyes.

It seems that he is happy to be able to fight against a strong person.

Guishu asked cautiously, "Master, what should I do?"

"You..."

Lu Yuan's lips curved into an interesting smile.

"Of course I have an important mission for you."

"And only you can complete this mission."

……

In the mansion, a grand feast has been arranged.

The table is filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as fine wines.

Standing around were a dozen or so flower-like maids serving the banquet. They were all in their prime and in their prime.

The main seat in the middle and the four or five seats on the left and right were all vacant.

Li Guan and more than a dozen officials under his command were sitting around.

Not to mention moving chopsticks, I didn't even dare to look at the food on the table.

"The hour has come, why hasn't the Emperor arrived yet?"

Li Guan frowned and said uneasily, "It can't be...there was an accident, right?"

As he spoke, he cast worried eyes at the old man aside.

"Do not worry."

The old man yawned and said disapprovingly, "As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

The old man looked up as if he was old.

He has a stooped and short stature, and his skin is dark and wrinkled.

Compared with other talented officials at the same table, his appearance is not amazing and his clothes are not outstanding.

The most distinctive feature of his body is his big, shiny bald head and the black eyepatch over his left eye.

"Old ghost, never underestimate the enemy!"

Li Guan reminded in a low voice, "The emperor is surrounded by soldiers and masters."

"Although he agreed to come to the banquet, he must have hidden a secret."

"It's not that easy if you want to succeed."

The old bald man sneered, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Master?"

"That's for you mere mortals."

"To me, you ordinary people are nothing but nourishment."

"I can devour them anytime I want."

Li Guan said nothing more.

Although he knew that with the old bald man's ability, he could definitely eliminate the guards around the emperor.

But there is still a layer of worry in my heart.

That is, the prince next to the emperor.

That Lu Yuan was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

What he has accomplished over the years can be regarded as a miracle in the eyes of the emperor and officials.

But Li Guan knew that there must be an expert like the old bald man beside Lu Yuan.

Moreover, it was Lu Yuan's instigation that prompted the emperor's southern tour.

Guo Cai, Wu Kang and others also fell into his hands.

Li Guan knew that Lu Yuan was coming for him this time.

He was afraid that this unfathomable prince might have some hidden cards.

It will make your plan fail and be beyond redemption.

"His Majesty is here!"

A loud shout came from outside the door.

All the officials stood up and knelt down to greet him.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Guan quietly raised his eyelids and glanced, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Behind the emperor, there were no soldiers, only two women.

But, except for these two women.

Lu Yuan, whom he was most worried about, was surprisingly by Emperor Yongle's side!

"Everyone, my loves, live in peace."

Emperor Yongle said calmly, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone then stood up and sat down again.

Emperor Yongle did his duty and sat on the main seat in the middle.

Lu Yuan is on the left, Shailing is on the right, and Siren is sitting next to Lu Yuan.

Li Guan raised his glass and stood up, saying cautiously.

"His Majesty's southern tour has eradicated many corrupt officials in Liangjiang, which is really satisfying."

"Your Majesty, Li Guan, be brave and give me a drink!"

The next second, Li Guan felt something was wrong.

Faced with his own toast, the emperor was completely indifferent.

There was even a trace of panic and uneasiness.

This was the first time he saw this expression on Emperor Yongle's face.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Guan to die.

This Emperor Yongle is not real.

But it was a fake that Guishu used the art of disguise.

"Master Li, the emperor has been suffering from the cold recently, and his throat is a little burned."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "I can't even talk, let alone drink?"

"Come, let me respect you on behalf of your Majesty."

After saying that, he raised the wine cup and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Okay... I will respect the prince."

Li Guan smiled awkwardly and nodded, sitting back down again.

Lu Yuan looked at Guishu, smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, let's have a banquet?"

Guishu nodded slightly, "Okay."

"Everyone, let's eat."

Li Guan originally thought that these words were a signal, and the emperor and Lu Yuan would definitely take action.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the hand holding the wine glass broke out in a cold sweat.

The rest of the officials were so nervous that they held their breath.

Just waiting for Li Guan to throw the cup as a signal, he drew his sword at the same time.

However, everyone's expressions soon became a little complicated.

They were nervous for a long time, but there was no movement at all.

Lu Yuan drank wine one glass at a time, occasionally picking up some food and tasting it in his mouth.

From time to time, he would tut his tongue and praise, "Good wine, good wine!"

He's just like a drunkard.

The two women also ate as if no one else was watching, their mouths were full of oil, and they didn't care about their reserve or grace.

Under their turbulent offensive, this fine banquet was soon turned into a mess.

The most incredible thing is that Emperor Yongle never said a word.

Nor did he look at the sumptuous dishes on the table.

He only held a stick of corn in his hand and kept knocking the corn kernels.

These people...are they really here to eat? (End of chapter)
