Chapter 129: Poking Your Lungs
At this time, two emperors were sitting in the inn. One was a young and dazzling emperor, as bright as a peach blossom; the other was a middle-aged emperor with a tired face, as if he had experienced countless storms. The aura between the two of them was so strong that people dared not ignore it easily.
Jun Nanzhu secretly observed the young emperor in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although he is young, his mind and momentum are not inferior to others at all!"
However, Shangguan Yan was also looking at Jun Nanzhu. This seemingly insignificant small country is actually unfathomable in strength. Although it is only a small country of the lowest rank, its foundation is far beyond what is seen on the surface. According to rumors, there is also a prince of a different surname who was once a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, and his strength is even more difficult to estimate. In addition, there is the mysterious 3,000 Chiyu Army, which is said to be all cultivators. What is even more amazing is that even Feng Qing, who is known as the peak of the spiritual master, comes from this small country. These are the hidden powerful forces of this country, which makes people feel awe.
Faced with this situation, Shangguan Yan couldn't help but wonder: "Even though they have so many trump cards, why is this country always at the bottom? Is it because of other reasons? Or are they deliberately hiding their strength?"
Shangguan Yan thought so. "I wonder what His Majesty thinks of my proposal this time?"
Jun Nanzhu silently poured a cup of tea, pushed it to Shangguan Yan and said, "As long as everything is for the people, I have no objection."
Shangguan Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?" He smiled and said, "Of course. When I was still an unpopular prince, I had already seen the people who were displaced by war, the frontier soldiers who were starving, and the dramas of brothers turning against each other and killing each other for resources."
Shangguan Yan stood up and shook his head, then walked to the window. "I've had enough of that kind of life. I only regret that I was incompetent at that time. My words were not influential enough to change everything. The old emperor was cruel and ruthless, oppressing the people. He also listened to the evil concubine's slander and made a woman the emperor's daughter. Oh! Women! What great things can they accomplish? No matter how powerful you are, you will still hide. When you meet a strong opponent, you can only choose to rely on men!"
Jun Nanzhu frowned after hearing this.
At this time, a clear voice came: "What about women? Who stipulates that women must stay at home to take care of their husbands and children? Which country stipulates this? Women are born greater than men! Have you ever heard this sentence, I can fight for you, go through fire and water, and I can also put down my butcher knife and wash my hands for you. As the saying goes, I can be an empress on the battlefield and a mother in the kitchen! How can you men survive without women? Freedom is mutual. Men go out to earn money to support the family, and women stay at home to wash clothes, cook and take care of children. Who dares to say that women don’t have hard work! If you have the ability, try to exchange. Women go out to earn money and men stay at home. I guarantee that women are not inferior to men in everything!"
Jun Beiyue spoke a series of words passionately, bombarding Shangguan Yan's ears like a chain of cannons. She walked closer to Shangguan Yan step by step, her eyes full of anger and provocation. Every word was full of strong emotions, as if she wanted to vent all her inner dissatisfaction.
"Beiyue! You are being presumptuous." Jun Nanzhu said while sitting on the chair, raising his eyebrows, but his tone did not really mean reproach. It was more like an indulgence, allowing Jun Beiyue to express his emotions to his heart's content.
Jun Beiyue snorted and simply saluted. Her attitude was both respectful and a little unruly. "Your Majesty, how are you? I'm innocent. Please condescend to return to the palace. I'm afraid the smoky air here will bother you~" She deliberately waved her sleeves exaggeratedly, as if she was really afraid of being contaminated.
Jun Beiyue stood in front of Shangguan Yan, looking straight at him without fear. Her eyes revealed firmness and confidence, as if telling Shangguan Yan: I will not easily succumb to anyone's threats or oppression. This indomitable spirit is admirable.
Shangguan Yan blinked his charming peach blossom eyes and looked at everything happening in front of him with a bit of amusement. He originally just wanted to test the attitude and thoughts of the emperor on this matter, but he didn't expect to cause such an unexpected debate. He turned his head to look at Jun Nanzhu, who had remained silent and indifferent, and secretly guessed his position in his heart.
Shangguan Yan asked softly, "Emperor Jun, do you think so too?" There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, hoping to get some answers or clues from Jun Nanzhu.
Jun Nanzhu gently put down the teacup in his hand, and then replied calmly: "As far as I know, the former eldest princess Shangguan Wan'er is not a cowardly person. On the contrary, she is a woman who is vigorous, decisive and resolute. Moreover, this four-star country is ruled by a queen, and this queen is no ordinary person!" There was a hint of admiration in his tone.
Jun Nanzhu continued, "This queen is not only an emperor-level formation master, but her strength is comparable to that of a spiritual fairy. Although she chose to live in a corner, she successfully protected all the people in the country and allowed them to live a peaceful and harmonious life. This ability and wisdom is truly admirable." He couldn't help but admire the queen.
Shangguan Yan was speechless, secretly complaining in his heart: This emperor is too shameless! Who doesn't know that the queen of the Four Star Country is his ex-wife! This is clearly a disguised way of praising his wife...
Shangguan Yan shook his head helplessly and decided to bypass Jun Beiyue, then sat down and said with a smile: "That's true, I have never denied my sister's strength, and that Queen is also a heroine! But... as far as I know... a few years ago, Emperor Jun used such a tone of voice to get rid of the former Queen~ and created today's imperial-level formation master, from the Queen to the Queen~ this change is really big." After Shangguan Yan finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.
When Jun Nanzhu heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, his brows knitted tightly, his hands tightly grasped the cup, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. This kid actually dared to bring up this matter in public, it was simply a pot that was not open! Did he come here on purpose to pick a fight?
Jun Beiyue was secretly delighted at this moment. She crossed her arms and looked at the two emperors in front of her with interest, cheering in her heart: "Fight! Punch! Curse! Haha, well said, you'll hit the lungs~"
However, Jun Nanzhu was furious, narrowed his eyes, and tried his best to control his emotions. He was really worried that he would not be able to control himself and accidentally beat the little emperor who had just taken office for two days to death...
"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty. I only heard it from others. I am deeply relieved after hearing the passionate words of Princess Beiyue just now. I am sure Your Majesty has the same idea. Those people outside really like to spread rumors..." Shangguan Yan said with a smile.
Jun Nanzhu tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart and tried to make his tone sound calmer. He asked, "Your Majesty Shangguan, do you have anything else to say? If not, then please go ahead." He thought to himself, he hoped Shangguan Yan could leave here as soon as possible, otherwise if this continued, he might really lose control.
Shangguan Yan tapped the table with his fingers. "The guests are coming~"
Jun Nanzhu looked up and saw Liu Mengli! He stood up in a panic and accidentally tapped Guan Yan's fingers on the table, making a crisp sound: "The guests are here~" His voice was a little teasing and mocking.
Jun Nanzhu heard Shangguan Yan's words, looked up, and saw a person standing at the door - Liu Mengli! Her appearance made Jun Nanzhu's heart tighten, and he became nervous instantly. He stood up in a hurry, but because he was too hasty, he accidentally touched the cup beside him, causing it to fall to the ground with a crisp cracking sound. This sudden change made the scene awkward.
