In Tokyo City, in the mansion of Duke Li Shaoyou of Chaoguo, there were lights and colorful decorations, and there were joy and drinking, which was very lively.

In the flower hall, ten eight immortal tables were arranged in a row. There were a wide variety of dishes on the table, fresh fruits and vegetables piled up like mountains, and jars of fine wine overflowed with a refreshing fragrance.

Dozens of lovely people with different identities came here one after another, including Daming, generals from the Protectorate, and local prefectures and magistrates.

There is also a troupe invited from the Qinhuai River outside the hall, performing some operas, such as gongs and drums, silk strings, and the flower actresses on the stage kept throwing their eyes on the mat, which made the officials of all sizes who love to pick up flowers and ask willows dazzled and restless.

Duke Li Shaoyou of Chaoguo sat in the center of the main seat, surrounded by several charming beauties of all sizes, including black hair, white hair, and blonde hair, and colorful colors.

Some of them poured wine for Li Shaoyou, while others joked with him. Li Shaoyou, who was blind, hugged him like a mountain king, laughing and playing, and he felt proud and drifted to the point of being in ecstasy.

Just as everyone was drinking happily and enjoying themselves, a soldier came out of the hall and whispered a few times in Li Shaoyou's ear.

Li Shaoyou was having a drink, but after hearing this, he frowned: "Hmph, this young boy really dares to come!"

A Japanese daimyo next to him smiled and said, "Major Protector, do you want his subordinates to take him and tie him in to dance and cheer you up?"

Li Shaoyou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it was the imperial envoy sent by the emperor, who asked him to play the role of a dan player. I wonder how many people in the court wrote to impeach the Protector of the Great Protector!"

"Then how should we deal with this kid and avenge the young master?"

Li Shaoyou waved his hand: "Let that kid wait outside the mansion and let him go for an hour first!"

After saying that, the dance continued to begin.

Outside the mansion, Xu Mingwu and his group stood at the door for a long time.

The gang of damn cavalry took them to the front of the Duke of Chao and ignored them, and the gatekeeper refused to let them in, saying that they would wait for the Duke of the State to see him.

The most important thing is that Xu Mingwu was about to leave, but the cavalry team was back and refused to leave, saying that it was the Duke of Chao who invited him.

Even fools can tell that this dog-good Li Shaoyou is playing with a monkey!

Xu Mingwu turned around and gave a wink at Gao Dashang, who was following him. Gao Dashang immediately took a step forward and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "The imperial envoy is here!"

With the shouting, Xu Mingwu broke in without saying a word and led a group of imperial guards.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he said loudly: "The imperial envoy Xu Mingwu came to announce the edict, and all the idle people avoided it, and Li Shaoyou received the edict!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally lively scene immediately became quiet. The performers on stage stopped singing, and the performers off stage stopped listening. All the officials in the hall stumbled out in a brief shock.

Seeing that the clearing was effective, Xu Mingwu was very satisfied. Looking at Li Shaoyou with a gloomy look, he shouted again: "Li Shaoyou comes forward to listen to the order!"

Li Shaoyou's one-eyed eyes beat unnaturally, and he came to the front with a calm face without any rush, bowed and said, "My teacher, Li Shaoyou, received the order."

Xu Mingwu glanced around the field and hummed, "Why, the Duke of the Chaozhou Kingdom has not entered the court for several years? Did he forget the rules of the court? I didn't know that I had to change my clothes and put on the incense table first when receiving the order?"

"Okay, wait for my husband to change his clothes, come and put on an incense table!"

As he said that, he left with a robe.

"Old man, dare to fight with me!"

Xu Mingwu laughed inwardly, took this opportunity to find a chair without hesitation, and sat down, and rested for a while.

Soon, Li Shaoyou appeared again in an official robe, with a bad expression.

Xu Mingwu stood up, and without waiting for him to speak, he stood still and shouted loudly again: "Li Shaoyou received the order!"

Li Shaoyou glared at him, suddenly gritted his teeth, and bowed forward and said, "My dear Li Shaoyou, please respectfully and listen to the teachings of the Lord."

Xu Mingwu moved a step to the side, stood on the side and said, "Sage, you are the wise man!"

"Wait, oral order? Where is the imperial order?" Li Shaoyou suddenly looked up and said.

At this time, Xu Mingwu was empty-handed, so where did the imperial edict come from?

He held the airs and said calmly: "I'm ordered to ask you if you have something to do!"

Li Shaoyou stared at him, but had no doubts, and hurriedly bowed again and said, "I respectfully listen to Your Majesty's decree!"

Because in the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to falsely spread the imperial edict, especially the imperial edict of Emperor Tianwu.

Xu Mingwu put on airs and stood up with his hands behind his back: "After the order, I asked Li Shaoyou, you were ordered to guard Japan, why did you make trouble and interfere with local government affairs? Is it a lord that I can deceive?"

He said it very easily, but just like this question, it was like a thunder blew up, which made people around him look at each other and didn't know what to do.

Li Shaoyou has even changed his appearance and color. Is the emperor going to attack me?

After all, Li Shaoyou has seen many big scenes. He has followed Zhu Cilang all year round. After a moment of thinking, he replied calmly:

"My teacher Li Shaoyou returned to the emperor to ask questions: I am a special entrusted to the Eastern Protectorate to guard the Japanese in order to conquer the Eastern Protectorate, and suppress the names of various prefectures. It is not that I interfere with local government affairs as a military officer, but that I am supervising and mediating disputes between various prefectures as a guru. The emperor is a wise king. I dare not dereliction of duty and beg the emperor to shine on the cave!"

"Is that true?" Xu Mingwu asked casually.

Li Shaoyou frowned and said, "Is this what Your Majesty asked?"

Xu Mingwu waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, this is what I asked myself. Look, in the flower hall in your mansion, there are not only the opera singers found by Qinhuai River, but also these civil and military officials. Is this your loyalty?"

"Damn it!"

Li Shaoyou roared suddenly: "Xu Mingwu, you are bold! You are a young boy, dare to question me!"

Xu Mingwu was very calm at this moment and smiled and said, "Hehehe, why are you so uneasy, Duke Chao? Could it be that you did something that is ashamed?"

Li Shaoyou pointed to Xu Mingwu's head and scolded: "Boy! When I was the coach of the traveling army, your father Xu Qingshan was just a small whistleman under my command. Your father didn't dare to talk to me like this. What are you, and you are so ungrateful?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingwu's face turned dark instantly and said with a calm face: "Duke Chao, I am now the imperial envoy. How dare you be so ruthless in front of the imperial envoy? Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

Li Shaoyou couldn't bear it anymore, and looked like a tiger, shouting: "Stop putting my hat on me. I think you are an imperial envoy, respect you as a guest of honor, and I will endure it again and again. Now you are bored, and you are so crazy that you are slandering me for no reason! I have to write a letter to you, come and take this kid down!"

The soldiers outside the hall heard the sound and surrounded the group and were about to take action.

Xu Mingwu kicked the chair beside him and shouted, "Okay, I dare to arrest the imperial envoy, you are so brave to be on the Duke!"

He only heard him shouting outside: "Where is the imperial guards? Come in!"

The imperial guards outside heard the screams and knew that something was wrong inside, so they rushed in with weapons in their hands.

"Good boy, you dare to commit rashness in the government office of our country. You are so brave! You have taken all the people here, so don't let anyone go!"

Li Shaoyou sneered repeatedly, thinking of ten thousand reasons to put Xu Mingwu on the spot!

Xu Mingwu stood steadily at the door, feeling the murderous intent of the other party, and also sneered, turned around and escorted the imperial envoy behind him and said, "Take off your shirt and let them see who you are!"

Without saying a word, the group of guards removed the armor outside with a bang, revealing the bright yellow clothing inside.

"Imperial Guard?"

Li Shaoyou's one eye twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Xu Mingwu pointed to the guards of the imperial envoys and said, "Yes, they are His Majesty's Imperial Guards. Whoever you have any kindness will kill them! Kill me! Who dares to come?"

He was secretly proud. The Imperial Guard was like the imperial guards in the Qing Dynasty drama. The imperial guards were given yellow jackets. With this brocade garment that symbolized the royal family, who dared to move?

Anyone who does not know how to do anything at least will be a blatant rebellion! Unless it can overthrow the court, you can only wait for death!

Everyone present was shocked, and the personal soldiers of the Protectorate who had just surrounded him were even more frightened and retreated repeatedly.

They were Li Shaoyou's personal soldiers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The highest sky above their heads was the wise and divine martial Emperor Tianwu. Who dared to kill his imperial guards?

"Come on, isn't it quite possible?" Xu Mingwu continued to shout.

The field was silent, and no matter how much he shouted, no one dared to take a step forward.

After a while, Li Shaoyou waved his hand and removed all the soldiers, then said, "Boy, don't be too happy too early!"

As he said that, he shook his sleeves and left, and shouted, "Send out the guest!"

After leaving the Duke of Chao, Xu Mingwu was still sweating coldly behind him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the temporary transfer of several imperial guards to him, it would be a lot of danger in the near future!

However, Li Shaoyou is really arrogant. He even dares to take the imperial envoy. He will definitely have a good life after he goes back!
