Chapter 155.2
After the discussion, the three Emperors burst into hearty laughter, as if they had already secured a great victory.
However, Great Zhu Emperor still looked somewhat hesitant: Actually, I have no objections! His Majesty has strictly forbidden us from private feuding, and if he finds out about this
Sigh, dont worry!
Great Yue Emperor waved his hand grandly, then said mysteriously, Although His Majesty seems to forbid it on the surface, he actually supports it behind the scenes. You dont know how bad he can be
Just then, a half-eaten, rotten apple fell from the sky, striking Great Yue Emperor on the head.
Great Yue Emperor screamed in pain, Damn it! Who hit me? Damn, that really hurts!
Picking up the rotten apple from the ground, he turned around in anger to look for the culpri t but still found nothing.
Thus, he had no choice but to seek help from others: Did either of you see him? Did you see who used this big apple to hit my head?
The two Emperors shook their heads: We didnt see anything!
Forget it, lets not bother with him anymore, lets continue discussing our grand plan!
Great Yue Emperor tossed away the rotten apple in his hand and then sat down once again, whispering, Lets resume our earlier topic! As we were saying, although His Majesty has officially forbidden it, he is actually supportive behind the scenes! Theres no other reason; he just wants to have fun and watch the excitement! On the surface, His Majesty appears all serious, but hes filled with bad tricks inside. Ive seen through him long ago!
Just then, another object fell from the sky, aiming for Great Yue Emperors head.
This time, Great Yue Emperor reacted with remarkable agility, gracefully spinning around and then reaching out to catch the falling object, smirking with pride, Heheh, you didnt hit me this time!
But a second later, he screamed in agony.
You son of a turtle!
How dare you throw a cactus, it hurts my hands to death!
Youre so unhygienic!!!
You have no martial ethics!!!
After searching around for a while, the perpetrator was still nowhere to be found.
Great Yue Emperor came back fuming with indignation, muttering curses under his breath as he walked: Damn scoundrel! You better pray I dont find out who you are! Otherwise, Ill make sure to repay you tenfold!
Elder brother, lets continue our earlier conversation!
Great Shi Emperor coughed to signal his interest, his voice brimming with eagerness for gossip: You were saying just now that His Majesty is quite wicked Could you tell us, in what way is His Majesty wicked?
Yeah, do tell us so we can also steer clear of any pitfalls! Great Zhu Emperors eyes also sparkled with the flames of gossip.
Great Yue Emperor became somewhat sheepish: This Can we not talk about it? Its rather embarrassing!
Spill it! We really want to know!
If you dont tell us, were no longer brothers!
The two Emperors urged loudly.
Great Yue Emperor looked into their eager eyes and, thinking of his great mission of revenge, finally made up his mind: Alright, then Ill just give you a brief account. But after you hear it, no laughing allowed!
The two Emperors immediately promised: Dont worry, we definitely wont laugh!
Great Shi Emperor pondered for a moment, then added, Unless I cant help it!
I will tell you now! In fact, when the fight first started, the Emperor had already discovered us! Do you know how he punished us?
How were you punished? The two Emperors asked in unison, their eyes wide and round, filled with a probing expression.
At that time, he actually made those four dog Emperors each give me a kiss
But do you think that by bringing two helpers, you can beat us?
Thats wishful thinking!
It seems you still refuse to admit defeat!
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom put down his chopsticks and said with a cold laugh, Tell me, what shall we compete in this time?
The Emperors of the Great Yue, Great Zhu, and Great Shi kingdoms looked at each other and said in unison, We shall have a cockfight!
Then, the Great Yue Emperor explained the rules, which were that each team must go among the common folk and select five roosters to fight against each other in a best-of-five rounds format. The losing team would have to slap themselves in the face.
After hearing this, the small kingdoms side had no objections.
Alright! Then lets have a cockfight!
They immediately ran to the village to select the finest fighting roosters.
The news spread quickly.
The five dukes are at it again!
No, this time there are seven. Duke of Shi and Duke of Zhu have also joined in! Theyve formed the great kingdom alliance with Duke of Yue to confront the small kingdom alliance led by Duke of Mo!
Its a three-on-four situation now, almost evenly matched. This is going to be interesting to watch!
I heard theyre going to have a cockfight this time No matter what theyre fighting over, Im all for it!
Exactly! Watching their duels is so fun!
Those seven Emperors, although they dont hold much power in Great Xia, hold high status and their reputations are particularly resounding.
Therefore, their grudges and duels draw a lot of attention and become a hot topic of conversation during leisure time.
Every time something happens, it creates a sensation throughout the capital city, with everyone eagerly following the developments.
This matter naturally reached Lin Beifans ears as well.
Your Majesty, those dukes have started fighting again. This time, theyve chosen cockfighting as their duel. Do you think we need to stop them? Liu Eunuch reported in a low voice.
Lin Beifan took a sip of tea and said calmly, The capital has been too peaceful for too long. Their actions can be considered as adding a bit of entertainment for everyone. Theres no need to intervene!
Yes, Your Majesty! Liu Eunuch responded.
But at that moment, Liu Eunuch exclaimed, There used to be a cactus here, where has it gone?
Lin Beifan replied calmly, Just now, I saw a little mouse blabbering away, so I took the liberty of throwing something at it! Have someone bring in some more green plants!
Yes, Your Majesty! Eunuch Liu accepted the decree.
Lin Beifan thought for a moment and then said, Right, add a few more cacti!
Yes, Your Majesty! came the response.
