Chapter 724 The King is Confused

Feng Chenmu picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him, took a big gulp of wine, and said calmly: "Queen Tao did not go to the battlefield to watch the battle in person, so she did not see the brave and fighting style of our Yan State's Lord Mu. Lord Mu is fine, but he was busy with important tasks and had no time to come. I didn't expect that Queen Tao still misses him. If he knew, he would definitely be happy."

After saying this, he looked at the Emperor of Great Zhou provocatively, making it clear that he said these words on purpose to sow discord between the Emperor and Empress of Great Zhou.

The Yan State delegation was secretly sweating, their hearts a thousand crows flying through their hearts, praying that their master would never speak again. What was he talking about? What was he obsessed with? Was he dissatisfied with their lives being too long?

He Linzhang clenched his fists and was on the verge of a rage.

Tao Yanyan gently pressed his hand, glanced at the Yan man who had spoken, and said with a smirk, "Speaking of which, I do have a vivid memory of your Lord Mu. The scar on his face is quite conspicuous. He also invited me to Yan to appreciate plum blossoms and told me a lot about Yan's customs and people, and I took note. When you came to invade the Great Zhou, I remembered this. Later, I felt that a trip to Yan would be too troublesome, so I asked Your Majesty to take down your Wuya City. This way, Wuya City will become part of the Great Zhou, making it convenient for me to visit someday."

The people of Yan were heartbroken after losing the city of Wuya.

My lord, you actually destroyed an entire city just to win a beautiful woman's smile. You are really out of your mind!

Feng Chenmu took several deep breaths before saying, "The Great Zhou's forced conquest of Wuya City is truly despicable."

Tao Yanyan chuckled, "The Great Zhou is powerful enough to defeat them. It's no shame for you to lose. It's been that way throughout history, so there's no need for you, sir, to dwell on it. However... I heard that even your emperor, who personally led the army, couldn't hold the city. Alas, it must have been your emperor's stubbornness that prevented Lord Mu from leading the charge. Otherwise, how could they have suffered such a crushing defeat?"

Feng Chenmu: "..."

What should I do if I am so angry that I want to explode on the spot? The rage in my heart is about to burst out.

The Shangguan Lord of the Yan State delegation said, "Now that our two countries have negotiated peace, we hope that the Empress of Great Zhou will be more lenient and refrain from exposing the shortcomings of our Yan State's Majesty. Otherwise, the Empress will be disrespectful to our Yan State's Emperor and damage the diplomatic relations between our two countries."

Tao Yanyan raised an eyebrow and said, "Since your emperor isn't here, just don't tell him when you get back. These few honest words from me won't rub salt into his wounds."

Feng Chenmu gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, and couldn't help but take another sip of wine.

Tao Yanyan turned to look at He Linzhang, only to see He Linzhang's eyes full of doting.

Halfway through the banquet, Feng Chenmu felt a headache, probably because he had been drinking too much tonight, so he took Yingying and went to the side hall to sober up.

He Linzhang glanced at Eunuch Zhang calmly, and Eunuch Zhang immediately turned around and walked out with his back bent. Soon, the side hall was surrounded by guards, and Feng Chenmu and Anying, who had come to sober up, were trapped inside the side hall.

"Master, did they recognize you?" Shadow asked in a low voice.

Feng Chenmu thought about how he was dressed today and it was impossible for him to be recognized, so he remained calm. He shook his head and said to the guards outside: "Go and ask your queen to come over. I have something to say."

Eunuch Zhang gave him a cold look and turned to go to the main hall.

Tao Yanyan had actually long noticed that the man from the Yan State delegation had a sense of déjà vu in his every move. Thinking of the previous time when the Yan State emperor disguised himself as Mu Chenfeng and appeared in the Great Zhou, she boldly guessed that the man in front of her might still be the Yan State emperor who loved cross-dressing.

So she deliberately said something provocative to him, hoping to make him angry and let him drown his sorrows in alcohol. When he got drunk and went to the side hall alone, she imprisoned him.

She couldn't tell He Linzhang about these speculations and thoughts in front of so many people, but the two of them had a tacit understanding. With just one look from Tao Yanyan, he understood a little bit.

After the man from Yan State went out drunk, he asked Eunuch Zhang to quietly mobilize the guards to surround the man.

Tao Yanyan was not surprised to learn that the man wanted to see her.

She gave He Linzhang a reassuring look, then took Shuang'er and several secret guards to the side hall.

The side hall was already tightly surrounded. Seeing Tao Yanyan approaching, Feng Chenmu said aggrievedly, "What does Queen Tao mean by this? Is this how you, the Great Zhou, treat guests?"

Tao Yanyan said coldly, "Guests coming from afar should naturally be treated well to delicious food and drink, but what if they are enemies? Shouldn't they also be treated well? The King of Yan must understand this principle."

Feng Chenmu narrowed his eyes: "Why does Queen Tao say that? My Lord of Yan is not here."

Tao Yanyan glanced at him for a few seconds. "Haha, Lord Yan has come all the way here, isn't it just to show off your presence? Or is it that you think you're too ugly to show your true face?"

Feng Chenmu: "..."

I am the most romantic and unrestrained emperor of the Great Yan royal family. What is there to be ugly about?

He raised his hand to remove the human skin mask on his face, but was stopped by the shadow beside him.

Shadow shook his head slightly, signaling Feng Chenmu not to be impulsive.

Feng Chenmu took a deep breath and continued to deny it. "My King of Yan is no less handsome than the Emperor of Great Zhou. He is on the list of handsome men from the four kingdoms. Queen Tao, please do not slander my King of Yan."

"The Four Kingdoms' List of Handsome Men?" Tao Yanyan instantly became interested. "Where does your king rank?"

Feng Chenmu raised his eyebrows: "Second."

Tao Yanyan became even more interested: "Then who is first?"

Feng Chenmu choked, rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to say the name.

"Who is it? Why don't you tell me? Could it be... my Emperor?"

Feng Chenmu was so angry that he could hardly maintain his expression. Looking at her sparkling eyes, he nodded reluctantly.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect there is such an interesting list! Then why don't you tell me who else is on the list so that I can broaden my horizons." Tao Yanyan's curiosity got the better of him and he couldn't stop. He had forgotten that he was negotiating with the emperor of his mortal enemy, the State of Yan.

Feng Chenmu sighed softly and said a few more names: "Wang Xingchuan, the Demon Lord of the Demon Sect, Kang Moxi, the Sixth Prince of Xia Country..."

Tao Yanyan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that her sworn brother was also on the list. She felt really proud of it.

"Well, it's really an authoritative list. The person who compiled this list of handsome men really has good taste. But..." Tao Yanyan glanced at Feng Chenmu: "You really don't want to see my true face? You came here and are going back like this?"

The coquettish tone made Feng Chenmu and Shadow numb. Shadow said "Oh no" in his heart, and it was too late to stop his master's raised hand. Feng Chenmu tore off his mask, revealing a handsome face.

Tao Yanyan didn't expect that he would actually dare to reveal his identity in front of her, but he was impressed by his bold courage.

Looking at this face again, Tao Yanyan found it more pleasing to the eye.
