Chapter 18 Whose Children Are So Arrogant

Ji Mo, the king's brother who represented the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was already old, but when he was wearing armor, horses, bent his bow and archery, he was also a good player on the hunting ground.

With a noble status, he has been both civil and military since childhood and can almost be called the mainstay of the royal family. The people of Zhongzhou are very clear that if Ji Mo had not supported the overall situation over the years, the royal family's decline would have been even more powerful.

And the Emperor of the Great Zhou, who was about to be 100 years old, had been guarding the mess of this dynasty for so many years and was simply an optional existence. No one could tell what the meaning of his existence was. There were even many younger princes who had never received his summons. There was no one in this year for so many years! Moreover, it is said that even the ministers of the dynasty had few opportunities to meet him. The Emperor stayed in his palace complex and didn't know what he was doing.

It is said that the emperor is likely to be the reincarnation of the "divine turtle", so he can prolong his life and live to a rare age. Of course, the implication of this metaphor is understood as long as he is not a fool. From this, it can be seen that in the eyes and hearts of some subjects who are still loyal to the royal family, they are very resentful of the emperor's lazy rule. They just stood at the gate of the palace to curse.

According to some secret legends, no one has gone to the palace to scold the emperor. However, the fate of these brave men seems to be not very good. They either die from a sudden illness or disappear inexplicably. No one can tell what is happening behind this.

Ji Mo had seen many big scenes. Although the hunting today was so powerful, it was nothing in his eyes. After chatting and laughing with several princes, he took the lead in pulling his bow, aimed at a wolf running through not far away, and shot it with an arrow. The wolf fell down and was shot in the neck, and died immediately.

There was naturally a cheering sound around him. Ji Mo laughed and looked very happy. After he thanked humbly, the others were not willing to be outdone. They looked for their respective prey targets and led their bows to shoot quickly. Most of these princes and princes had undergone archery and horse riding and shooting training, and had good skills. Although some people shot in the air, most of them gained in the first round.

The hunting ground surrounded by a large area, with all kinds of wild animals and birds inside. When their subordinates cheerfully helped their masters to pick up their prey, they found through comparison that the biggest harvest in the first round was the King of Wu and the Prince of Wei from Lingnan.

The King of Wu shot a golden leopard, while the Prince of Wei shot a black bear. Earlier, the black bear was pierced through his head with an arrow and struggled to death. When the followers went over to clean up, they were almost injured. The prince passed by, shouted loudly, and split the bear's head with the wide and thick knife in his hand. This kind of courage was really surprising.

Amid the cheers of the whole house, the arrogant prince of Wei looked at the huge black bear thrown in the pile of prey. He was extremely proud of his actions. He had just taken action and showed his victories in front of others. He was proud and respectful, and he was the first to be the first to be. Not to mention that all the young masters who came here were not as good as him, even the dozen princes of all sizes were overwhelmed by him.

In comparison, although the King of Wu hunted a leopard, he could not compare to the weight of this bear. Ji Mo had a faint smile on his face and ordered someone to come over. He poured two cups himself and gave one to the King of Wu first to commend him. The King of Wu, who was bearded, thanked him loudly, then raised his head to drink, looking very heroic. A mere glass of wine is of course nothing, but on such a major occasion, the meaning of the representative is naturally different.

Ji Mo held the second cup of wine in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the tiger and wolf armored soldiers behind Prince Wei. His eyes were filled with a meaningful smile.

"Prince Nangong is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, and is worthy of being the best among the younger generation! Killing bears is effortless. It is really worth celebrating that the King of Wei has such a son. Come on, please drink this glass of wine to enhance your voice."

Nangong Qi bowed a little, then reached out to take it, glanced at the surroundings with a look of contempt. He took the initiative and drank a few big mouthfuls in front of everyone. He handed the heavy copper-eared wine cup to the attendant, and he laughed loudly.

"Thank you, Mr. Mo, for giving the wine! Killing a bear is nothing. I have the means to kill dragons and tigers, but I just don't have the chance to use it... Hahaha!"

As soon as this said, many people around him changed their faces and looked at them in amazement. This is too crazy!? Moreover, doesn't this guy know that his words are a big taboo?

As we all know, whether it is the Great Zhou Dynasty or the previous dynasties, they all use the dragon shape as royal ornaments. The so-called dragon and phoenix etiquette refers to the honor of this totem. In a sense, dragon and phoenix are symbols of the royal family. This guy still wants to slay dragons? The implicit meaning of the implicit slaughter is not to slaughter the emperor's family...!

Shen's father, who heard the nephew's prince's words in his ears, turned green. He never expected that Nangong Qi would openly say such a terrible thing on such occasions. Whether he was intentional or unintentional, since he had already said it, it would be difficult to take it back.

"Hmph! Ignorance child. I am so arrogant... This is Luocheng, Zhongzhou, not the Liang of your Wei Kingdom. How can you let you talk nonsense here! If you don't take back what you said, I will express your apology immediately."

There was a general wearing iron armor standing behind Ji Mo. He was furious when he heard this. Before he could ask Ji Mo for permission, he jumped out and scolded Nangong Qi sternly.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty declined, it was not without powerful figures. The general was named Zi Dun, who was the leader of the Imperial Guards in the Royal Palace in Luocheng. He was like a fire and was very loyal to the royal family. How could he bear it when he heard that someone dared to provoke the authority of the royal family so publicly?

There was a moment of silence around him. Brother Wang Ji Mo held a wine cup in his hand and did not speak immediately. The expression on his face was puzzled. He seemed to have not yet reacted to what had happened, and seemed to be thinking about how to speak appropriately. Others from far and near did not speak. Everyone stared at each other with big eyes and their eyes gathered towards this side.

Unexpectedly, facing General Zi Dun's angry shout, Nangong not only did not apologize, but showed a more proud look on his face. He put away his smile, his eyes were as cold as a knife. Facing the footsteps of the iron armored general, the two were only more than a meter away.

"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at me? This prince came from all the way from Wei State to celebrate the emperor's birthday on behalf of his father... Is this the way to entertain guests in Luocheng? Hum!"

"I, Zi Dun, has the responsibility to safeguard the dignity of the royal family. How can the majesty of the royal family and the emperor be easily blasphemed! Is it the King of Wei who is so rude?

Seeing the anger between the other party's eyebrows and eyes, Nangong not only did not be afraid, but instead took two more steps forward. The swordsman behind him followed closely. He bent his middle finger and pointed at the other party's chest with an extremely contemptuous gesture. The smile on his face was cold and contemptuous.

"So it's just a guard dog in the palace! Haha! You hear it carefully. This prince, Nangong, does whatever he does, represents myself and has nothing to do with my father. If there is any rudeness or any words he doesn't pay attention to, just take it as a warning. Why be so aggressive?"

"you……!"

Zi Dun was humiliated by the other party, and was so angry that his beards were all blown up. He reached out to stroke the hilt of the knife and was about to draw his sword. A small team of guards nearby had long been unable to bear it. They stood by the general and shared the same hatred for the enemy. The soldiers behind Nangong Qie were not to be outdone, and they put their hands on the hilt of the knife together. These iron-blooded men only obeyed the prince's orders. With one order, they would not care about when and where, let alone what the other party was. The sword was unsheathed and the blood was splashed away!

Everything happened in an instant. The hunters in the distance didn't know what happened. And within a radius of more than ten feet, the warm atmosphere just now became a little cold. Who could think that a few words would cause trouble! The princes and princes present didn't know what would happen next. In this case, although they had different thoughts and different expressions on their faces, one thing was the same. That is, before weighing the pros and cons and judging the situation, no one would take the initiative to stand up and take the muddy water.

Especially what surprised everyone was that at this critical moment, Wang's brother Ji Mo didn't say a word. He looked calm and filled with a cup of wine, lowered his head and held it in his hand, and did not sprinkle a drop of it smoothly. He didn't know who this cup of wine was left for.

In such a strange atmosphere, if anyone makes a rash move, then he will be a fool! He will not say thanklessly. If he accidentally offends the powerful Wei State without saying a word, he will be indestructible. The strong combat effectiveness of the Wei State army is frightening. Moreover, the King of Wei is extremely ambitious, and he is worried about not having any excuses to find fault in his daily life! Who would be so stupid that he would take the initiative to hit him up?

However, there are such fools in this world. When everyone chooses to watch with confidence, fools will jump out and do things that are very unwise to smart people.

"Just hunt! Everyone comes to the mountains happily, how good is it to be a spring outing? Blow the wind, relax, and look at the flowers and plants... Alas! Why are you so angry?"
