Chapter 288 Rong Mo's Apprentice
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. I'm sure Your Majesty still has a lot of things to deal with, so we won't disturb your peace. We are here today just because we heard that my little disciple entered the palace, so I came to see him." Rong Mo had a faint smile on his face and looked around at everyone in the hall, obviously hinting at something.
"Patriarch Rong, you are joking. I believe that your disciple must be a very talented person. I wonder who your disciple is? Could you introduce him to me?" Emperor Jing Zhao tried hard to suppress his inner joy, and his tone was very cheerful.
When he saw Rong Mo's gaze sweeping over the young men in the capital, a big drama automatically occurred in his mind.
The Rong family has always been low-key. Maybe a young man from some family just happened to catch Rong Mo's eye and was secretly accepted as a disciple. This would really bring honor to Dasheng.
Today, Rong Mo appeared at Dasheng's birthday banquet and mentioned his apprentice in front of various countries. It is almost certain that Rong Mo wants to establish his authority in front of the envoys from various countries.
The people of Da Sheng are disciples of the Rong family, which means that Da Sheng has the support of the Rong family.
Emperor Jing Zhao's previous depressed mood was instantly swept away.
"What are you staring at? Could it be that you don't even recognize your master? Ruo'er!"
Rong Mo's call of "Ruo'er" made Emperor Jing Zhao's heart tremble, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Ruo. After seeing Qin Ruo's methods, they were not surprised to hear that Qin Ruo was Rong Mo's disciple.
Qin Ruo walked out of the crowd, her eyes slightly moist, and walked towards Rong Mo step by step.
From the moment Rong Mo walked into the hall, she recognized him at a glance. Rong Mo of Dasheng looked younger than the modern Rong Mo, but his cool temperament remained the same.
Including the time since she arrived at Dasheng, she hasn't seen her master for four years.
From the moment she met the Seventh Prince, she had a premonition that her coming to Dasheng was not accidental.
Since the eldest brother is here, the master will probably be here too.
She had originally wanted to wait until after Emperor Jing Zhao's birthday banquet was over, and then find an opportunity to find out the reason for the incident from the Seventh Prince.
Unexpectedly, the master came here himself.
"Disciple, Qin Ruo greets the master." Qin Ruo bowed his head to the ground and kowtowed to Rong Mo.
"Get up! When you came to Changhe Village to become my disciple four years ago, you were still a little kid who knew nothing about the world. Now you can stand on your own. I am very pleased." Rong Mo personally leaned over and helped Qin Ruo up, with a loving look in his eyes.
Rong Mo's words were also inadvertently telling others the origin of his master-disciple relationship with Qin Ruo.
Rong Mo waved his hand, and a dozen handsome men and beautiful women who came with him all came forward and knelt on one knee to salute Qin Ruo.
"We are waiting to meet the young patriarch."
Even though Qin Ruo had millions of questions now, since this was her master's home court, she did not rush to ask. She just nodded at the group of people and raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up.
Emperor Jing Zhao's body trembled slightly. This scene was even more embarrassing for him than the Sixth Prince forcing the emperor to abdicate.
How could he not see that Rong Mo's coming to congratulate him on his birthday was fake, and his real purpose was to support Qin Ruo.
"Your Majesty and the envoys, Qin Ruo is my Rong Mo's disciple, and she is also the young patriarch of my Rong family. No matter how bad my Rong family is, I'm afraid it's not your turn to plan her marriage! Rong family does not want to make enemies for no reason, and of course they are not afraid of making enemies with others."
Rong Mo suddenly stopped smiling and showed off his full aura.
The powerful pressure released was so strong that the envoys from Nanyue and Xiliang could not stand up straight and they all knelt on the ground with a plop.
Emperor Jing Zhao, who was standing on the high platform, suddenly felt as if his internal organs were squeezed together and were about to explode.
"I, Rong Mo, have traveled through the three thousand worlds, and I have always distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and I will never let go of any grievances. General Chariot and Cavalry, your country's prince was so rude to my disciple, could it be that he was instructed by your monarch? For a tiny country like Nanyue, it seems that it is time to change a wise monarch."
"Xiliang... you are so proud of yourself after you gain power? Tell Yuwen Yan when you go back that I, Rong Mo, have no other advantages except that I am very protective of my own people and cannot bear to see my own disciples suffer any injustice. I can make Xiliang from a barren land to a lush and fertile land, and I can take it back at any time."
Rong Mo's cold eyes fell on Emperor Jing Zhao on the stage again.
"Si Yuanyi, speaking of which, my Rong family and the founding empress of your Great Sheng once had a long history. In the past, your empress would also respectfully call me Grandmaster when she saw me. Ruo'er is my disciple, and based on this generation, if Yun'er were still alive, she would also have to call Ruo'er Grandmaster."
"The emperors of Si Jinyun's descendants are really inferior to the previous generation. They don't have Jinyun's great wisdom in planning and strategizing, nor do they have Jinyun's courage and decisiveness. You have mastered the art of imperial balancing to perfection, but your mind and foresight have not inherited the legacy of your ancestors. I didn't want to intervene, but seeing that someone bullied my disciple to this extent, I had to speak out. If it weren't for our old friendship, Dasheng would not be worth my attention."
As soon as Rong Mo said this, the hall fell into deathly silence; even the sound of breathing seemed to be frozen.
If even the founding emperor of Da Sheng had to call him Grandmaster, then Rong Mo must have lived for at least two or three hundred years, a god!
Isn’t this God?
Although only the envoys from Nanyue and Xiliang, as well as Emperor Jing Zhao, were oppressed by Rong Mo's pressure, everyone else also knelt on the ground.
Including Old Madam Xie and Si Heng, they all knelt down devoutly.
Throughout her life, the person that Old Lady Xie admired most was her ancestor, Empress Si Jinyun.
Otherwise, he would not have given up the luxurious life in his noble city at such an old age and put on armor to go into battle himself.
Today, she was able to see this legendary master in person, and besides awe, she was more excited.
Si Heng was in mixed feelings, as he thought that Qin Ruo was not the same Qin Qiuxi as before.
However, I didn't expect that she and the Rong family actually had such a relationship. I'm afraid that the three-year agreement will be even more difficult to fulfill.
Emperor Jing Zhao's face was as pale as paper, with cold sweat on his forehead.
He actually overestimated his own capabilities. When he failed to win over the Rong family, he even sent troops to join forces with other countries to wipe out the Rong family in one fell swoop.
Rong Mo mentioned the relationship with the founding empress of Da Sheng so bluntly today that his head was buzzing.
"Everyone, get up! Do what you need to do." When Rong Mo withdrew his pressure, blood was already flowing from the corners of the mouths of the envoys from Nanyue and Xiliang.
"Thank you, Lord Rong." After everyone knelt down respectfully, they dared to stand up slowly.
A good hand of cards was played badly. Is today the end of the great fortune?
How can I face my ancestors again?
Having already been poisoned, coupled with the pressure that Rong Mo had just released, Emperor Jing Zhao violently spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a bang.
