Chapter 117: Challenge

"It's inside. Artoria said.

In the courtyard of the Xiao family, a very luxurious dinner is being held. At the dinner, countless ministers were divided into two sides.

On the left, he is dressed in the armor of the Qingluan Empire, wearing a sword at his waist, and he eats and drinks with the people around him.

The faction on the right is dressed in the armor of the Phoenix Empire's army, and the zero clothes are also among them. Obviously, they were all people who had come to the aid of the Qingluan Empire against the Duke of Shuster.

The two of them walked to the main hall under the leadership of a waiter, and the eyes of the people on both sides suddenly looked at them in unison.

"Hehe, Ye Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Nangong Nan's face was red, obviously very moisturized for a while. It seems that the Xiao family has served him very well.

"Uncle Nangong. Ye Mu bowed his hand to Nangong Nanyi, and said hello.

"Ye Mu, is he that Ye Mu?"

"Tsk, you look so young!"

Many people sitting on the seats on the side were talking about it.

Although the Bloodstreak Warrior cannot directly judge a person's age from their appearance, they can tell from the breath on a person's body. Of course, this is a very metaphysical thing, and Ye Mu has not been able to figure out how to see a person's age from beginning to end.

"Come on, come on!"

Nangong Nan beckoned to Ye Mu, called him to his side, and touched Ye Mu's head very affectionately, which made Ye Mu a little embarrassed and at a loss.

"Uncle Nangong, I'm no longer a child, I'm twenty years old this year. Ye Mu said embarrassedly.

"Haha, you're only twenty years old, and in front of your uncle, even if you're eight hundred or a thousand years old, you're still a child. Nangong Nan didn't care about Ye Mu's resistance at all, and recklessly expressed his liking for Ye Mu in front of these many people.

"Uncle, now you are facing so many people!" Ye Mu continued to twist his head to dodge, but he didn't really use his strength to dodge, after all, he knew that this was Nangong Nan's little joke with him.

"It's okay, I talked to my son-in-law, and they heard it. Nangong Nan said with a smile.

At this moment, Ye Mu was directly petrified, and then exclaimed, "Son-in-law, when did I become Uncle Nangong's son-in-law?"

"Haha, you saved me and Artoria from under the butcher's knife, and Minlin's girl. To be honest, if it weren't for you, our country would have ended a long time ago. Nangong Nan did not shy away from it, and in full view of everyone, he patted Ye Mu's shoulder and said earnestly: "As soon as the war is over, I will marry that girl from Minlin to you." ”

"Click-"

A faint crisp sound sounded in the hall, and Nangong Nan in front of him didn't seem to hear it, but Ye Mu really heard it. This voice came from the female knight Artoria beside her.

"Your Majesty, I have a headache, so I retreated first. With that, Artoria walked straight out of the hall.

Ye Mu could clearly see that on her palm, there was bright red blood dripping. And where she stood just now, there was a very shallow pit, which was not particularly obvious, but if you looked closely, it was not difficult to find that it was a pit that she stepped on with her feet.

"I don't say yes!"

Suddenly, a man stood up and roared angrily.

It was a handsome-looking young man, with yellow hair and a suit of armor that clearly distinguished him from the others.

Ye Mu turned his face to look at him and said nothing. He still hasn't figured out what the hell is going on. Why, Nangong Nan suddenly said in front of so many people that she wanted to marry Nangong Minlin to herself.

Nangong Nan was also silent for a while, looked at the person who stood up, frowned, and said to him, "Nephew, what do you mean by this?"

"Uncle, I had already had a marriage contract with Min Lin's sister when I was a child, why do you want to re-marry Min Lin to someone now?" the man said angrily.

"Hehe, nephew, this time and that time. Nangong Nan said cheekily, "That's it, if you can win Ye Mu in the competition, I will rematch Min Lin Xu to you." But if you lose, you'll have to hand over the Tiger Talisman to Ye Mu. Your Xiahou army also has to become a Qingjia army. ”

At this time, Ye Mu understood what was going on.

Obviously, Nangong Nan had long known that if he announced this sentence in public, he would definitely make this person rush out angrily, and then come to kill people with a borrowed knife.

This is to make the young man in front of him give up pursuing Nangong Minlin, and the second is to keep himself in his military formation and help him fight.

Speaking of which, although Nangong Minlin is indeed cute, he still has no special feelings for her, and at most treats her as a little sister.

In addition, I still need to do something now, and I don't want to make trouble.

"Okay, Mr. Ye Mu, right?

As the young man spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist at Ye Mu.

"There's a good show to watch. In the crowd, the bored Lingyi suddenly became interested, took out a golden coin from his arms, and whispered to the people on the side: "I bet on a gold coin, Ye Mu wins." ”

"I think this person, but he has not been a prince for a long time, so he must not be very strong. And the other is Xiahou Jie, a general who has been famous for a long time in the Qingluan Empire. I bet three gold coins, and Ye Mu lost. ”

"Hey, you're kind of blind. Lingyi Hehe Yile directly clamped a young person on the other side under his armpit and said to him, "How much do you bet?"

"I'll bet a gold coin, Ye Mu...... Woo woo woo!" Before the poor man could finish his sentence, he was rudely gagged by Zero Clothes.

"Ye Mu loses, right? Okay. Zero Yi made a decision for him, and this time he whined even harder, but Zero Yi wouldn't give him a chance to explain clearly.

Just when everyone thought that there would be a good show next, how did they know, Ye Mu was in front of everyone, and directly bowed his hand to Xiahoujie, and said: "I know that I am not defeated by General Xiahoujie, so I admit defeat here." ”

At this moment, everyone present was in an uproar. They talked and said, "How can you admit defeat?"

Xia Houjie was also taken aback and asked, "How can you admit defeat?"

"Why can't I admit defeat?" Ye Mu asked rhetorically, looked at Nangong Nan, who was stunned, and said, "That's right, Uncle Nangong, I'm not a fool, I know that I can't beat General Xiahou, of course I have to admit defeat!"

This sentence is a pun. When Nangong Nan heard this, he laughed and said, "Since this is the case, Xiahou Jie has won." ”

Ye Mu and Nangong Nan, neither of them is stupid. After only saying one paragraph, he completely understands what the other party thinks.

Ye Mu has infinite kindness to Nangong Nan, and even to the entire empire. So even if Nangong Nan wanted him to stay and help the empire fight, but the other party was unwilling, he didn't want to force it.

"Thank you, Uncle Nangong. Ye Mu arched his hand at Nangong Nan, but he no longer took care of Xiahou Jie, and asked, "Uncle, where is Master Marin?"
