Chapter 235 Breaking the pot
"Tong-chan, look at him!" Lu Yuguan cried, "He's abusing his power for personal gain, breaking his promise, and clearly bullying me!"
【Oh. 】
The system said nonchalantly.
"Your host has been bullied. As a system, shouldn't you uphold justice for me?" Lu Yuguan said indignantly.
[Your man, you handle it yourself, dear! ]
The system said mischievously.
Lu Yuguan: "I don't want it anymore."
【Your man.】
Lu Yuguan: "No, you..."
【Your man, your man. 】
Lu Yuguan: ...
No matter how depressed you are, you must face life bravely even if you are being poked by two carrots.
"I have no intention of forcing you," Li Zhonglin said as he took a leisurely sip of tea. "Whatever Yuguan wants, I have a clearly marked price."
Lu Yuguan: Haha.
Zhao Zimo also took Lu Yuguan's hand and said seriously: "Yuguan, although I don't know what he threatened you with, as long as you say the word, I will take you back to Xin Zhao."
"We'll live our own lives and never set foot in the Central Plains again!"
Lu Yuguan couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately released the power of the Golden Core Stage, causing the wrists of both men to hurt.
"Don't mention marriage to me. I can get married whenever I want. Don't bother me!"
After saying that, Lu Yuguan turned his face away and left the two of them alone.
"Yuguan!"
Zhao Zimo stood up and tried to persuade her to stay, but failed to catch up.
Li Zhonglin held the teacup with great interest, "Brother Zhao, if you want to take Yuguan away from me, you need to think again."
Zhao Zimo looked at him coldly and said, "Li Chonglin, you're probably used to being the crown prince. Do you really think everything can go your way?"
"You dare to call me by my name? Aren't you afraid that Longhua Kingdom will attack Xin Zhao?" Li Chonglin snorted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants drew their swords and faced Zhao Zimo.
Zhao Zimo clenched his fists and went upstairs without saying a word.
Li Zhonglin looked like he had everything under control. He narrowed his eyes and said, "At least in Kyoto, no one dares to do anything to me."

royal palace.
main hall.
Today is the day when the emperor rewards the troops.
After Li Yue's death, the soldiers of the Western Border had no choice but to look for other generals to receive medals.
Bai Xiao was appointed as the head of the Bai family, and the position of Minister of Personnel, which originally belonged to Bai Zheng, was also replaced by another candidate chosen by the emperor.
Lu Yuguan stood in the team, secretly observing everyone in the hall.
He glanced and found Bai Zhen standing among the civil servants. He followed behind Xu Sheng without saying a word.
"No wonder he has the confidence to compete with my elder brother for the position of head of the family. It turns out that he has already climbed to a high position." Lu Yuguan thought.
Bai Ming lowered his head and said nothing, still immersed in the sorrow of his father's death.
If it were in the past, he would have wanted to brag about it to his other classmates if he had the opportunity to attend court and meet the emperor.
"Do not be sad."
Lu Yuguan patted him on the back.
"Ah."
Bai Ming said softly.
Lu Yuguan felt the breath of the middle stage of foundation building in the palm of his hand. It seemed that the news of Bai Zheng’s death had made his adopted second brother grow a lot.
If that was the case, he really didn't want to tell him that Bai Zheng was still alive.
Li Chonglin walked into the hall and stood directly to the left below the dragon throne.
The empty seat next to him was originally reserved for Li Chongjiu, but now it is temporarily occupied by Li Chanle.
"Yuguan, here I come."
Zhao Zimo walked quickly into the hall. As a representative of the northern cultivators, he naturally had a seat.
"Did you guys quarrel last night?" Lu Yuguan asked.
Zhao Zimo glanced at Li Chonglin, and his gaze met his. "No, but it ended on bad terms."
"It's good that there's no quarrel."
Lu Yuguan breathed a sigh of relief.
He still clearly remembered the scene when Zhao Zimo was shirtless and fighting with Li Chonglin in front of the Prince's Palace.
"Don't take what I said yesterday to heart." Zhao Zimo said in a deep voice.
Lu Yuguan sighed and said, "I understand."
Seeing that he was still unhappy, Zhao Zimo wanted to continue speaking, but Eunuch Mao was already standing in front of him, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
As the shrill, long voice fell, the hall instantly became quiet, and everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Li Ping, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown with twelve tassels, walked steadily up to the dragon throne. After slowly sitting down, he raised his hand to support it: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone stood up, lowered their heads and eyes, and said no more.
Li Ping glanced at the crowd and said, "Today's reward to all the troops is to commend you for your outstanding military achievements in Nanzhou. Although General Li Yue unfortunately passed away, the bravery of his soldiers will never be forgotten."
After some polite words, Li Ping also brought up the box that had been agreed upon earlier.
"As for the prince's autumn hunt, I am deeply saddened," Li Ping said with narrowed eyes. "The Ninth Prince was seriously injured and is still recuperating. The sons of the Du and Fei families also died in Nanzhou. We have lost many talented people."
"The second son of the Chen family is extremely brave. After he returns from the northern border, he will be appointed as a general and promoted to the seventh rank."
Having said that, it’s time to talk about the Bai family.
"I am deeply saddened by the death of the Prince of Zhennan," Li Ping said slowly. "I have personally written an inscription on the tablet and have sent someone to erect it at the gate of the Bai Mansion."
Bai Xiao said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Yuguan felt uncomfortable all over. He raised his head slightly and happened to meet Li Ping's eyes.
This……
A terrible feeling suddenly came over me.
Unfathomable!
"Even the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord can enter the Nascent Soul stage. Could it be that the emperor's cultivation level is the same?" Lu Yuguan thought to himself, then denied his own idea.
After all, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord took over Li Ang's body. As for Li Ang's cultivation level, he never knew.
But the emperor's glance just now, although without any fluctuation of spiritual power, was truly creepy.
"These rewards are all awarded by the prince. Do you have any objections?" Li Ping read.
Seeing no objection, Li Chonglin stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Father."
Li Ping was just about to announce the end when Li Chonglin spoke again.
"Father, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me."
Li Zhonglin said bluntly: "I hope that the emperor will issue an order to allow me to marry the third son of the Bai family!"
The hall was eerily quiet.
For a moment, even the sound of breathing was silent.
Lu Yuguan widened his eyes.
No?
Why is this bastard asking for help?!
Talking about this kind of thing in public, are there little fish blowing bubbles in Li Chonglin's brain?
Bai Ming looked at Lu Yuguan in horror.
Even Bai Xiao turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
"After all these years, this is the first time you've made a request to me, and it's about your own marriage. That's quite strange." Li Ping said calmly.
Li Zhonglin said seriously, "This son really likes it, and I hope your Majesty will grant it!"
Li Ping sneered and said, "What kind of magic potion did he give you to make you so obsessed? - Third son of the Bai family, do you have anything to say?"
