The Iron-armored Ship continued to advance. The snowstorm had abated, and its speed had greatly increased. After travelling across Huizhou, it took another day to finally arrive at Liangzhou.

As the giant ship entered the Liangzhou region, the flow became more gentle. The river became wider, like a vast ocean. The great river surged forward, and as far as the eye could see, there were thousands of sails surging. It was extremely lively.

These ships varied in size and size, but they all arrived loaded.

Since the day of the Berserker General Expedition, many travelling merchants had scouted out the business opportunities within. They wanted to make a huge profit and bring all the materials over from all directions.

There were also many official ships of the 'Department of Transport' patrolling the canal, maintaining order.

These ships were all black in color, and there were rows and rows of huge Shooting Sun Crossbow Blocks faintly visible on them. The aura emitted by the Talismanic Destroyer Arrow was extremely cold, enough to shock anyone who looked at it.

However, as soon as the gigantic Iron-armored Ship passed by, the other government ships immediately stepped aside to clear the way.

Only important figures could use a giant warship like the Iron-armored Ship. Obviously, before Hong Yu and his men arrived, the Liang Prefecture's government had already informed them of this matter.

At this moment, as soon as the Iron-armored Ship appeared, there were government ships clearing the way. There was even a small boat racing across the river, quickly informing the city officials.

Suddenly, a ship came from the opposite side. Someone from above shouted, "With the orders of the King, we have come to welcome all of you missionaries. Our Prince is preparing tea for you all. We invite you all to go and discuss something important together."

The King of Heavens was the Second Prince, Hong Futian. The First Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince called each other the 'Emperor of Heaven'. They were different from the other dukes.

Li Muyue stood casually on the deck, "Let Hong Futian's boat guide us. We'll meet up with the local officials first and familiarize ourselves with some matters."

"Actually, I was thinking that Second Brother has been operating in Liang Prefecture for a long time, and has long since become an iron plate. He seems to be the local tyrant, and he definitely won't allow us to criticize him. I wonder what kind of wine he will give us." Hong Yu's face was dark and his brain worked quickly: "It's been a long time. Second brother's cultivation definitely has surpassed the Spirit realm. I wonder what level he has reached?"

The Second Prince and Hong Yu had a feud. Hong Yu had been bullied by him many times, but later on he was sent to Liangzhou by Emperor Hongwu. Only then did the two of them have no chance of fighting each other.

"I know that you and Second Brother have a grudge, but right now, you still have to endure it. A strong dragon won't crush a snake in the ground, and as you said, he has been in Liangzhou for a long time and is deeply rooted. Moreover, this person's cultivation base was about in the martial arts realm. He had broken through the two heavenly and earthly bridges, and had formed an avatar. However, I suspect that this person is hiding something. Maybe he is in the Martial Ancestor Realm and is trying to break through the Yin Yang Transformation, comprehending the Mustard Seed Xumi, extending his lifespan. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand on the same level as Boss and Third Brother. "

Li Muyue guided him patiently until she finally encouraged him, "Actually, you don't need to be jealous. You've already weaved the Dao of the Heavens, so your potential is much greater than his. As long as you have three to five years, you'll be able to surpass him."

When Hong Yu heard those words, he knew that he was absolutely no match for him. Just the eight shackles of the Spirit realm and the nine Divine Repositories were like heaven and earth. The difference between each level was like the difference between heaven and earth, not to mention the difference between the two great realms above the Spirit realm.

The Martial Ancestor Realm was the Grandmaster Realm. If a Martial Disciple of this realm was placed in a few sects in the common people, they would have the qualifications to start a sect and become its founder. Even in the sky of the Celestial Door of the Wonderland, they would be first-rate Supreme Elders.

The difference in this realm was like the difference between a giant elephant and an ant. Even if Hong Yu used all of his trump cards, he still wouldn't be a match for that giant elephant.

However, he also knew that Ol 'Two wouldn't dare to show off on the surface. He could only cause trouble in the dark and make his face dirty. Therefore, he only needed to deal with the attacks and be careful when dealing with them.

After a while, the Iron-armored Ship slowly docked at the dock. The crowd and cargo had already been cleared, clean water swept the street, fresh flowers paved the road, and on both sides stood officials of varying sizes.

This kind of serious scene made Hong Yu a little nervous, but with a thought, he immediately began meditating on the Dao patterns of the Son of Heaven. He immediately became calm and collected, and every move he made was filled with an imposing manner.

"Welcome, Lord Messenger!"

The moment they saw Hong Yu and Li Muyue disembark, many officials shouted loudly and lowered their bodies.

"Exempt."

Li Muyue raised her hand and shifted her gaze. She saw a group of people walking over.

This group of people were like stars cupping the moon as they surrounded a youth in the middle.

From time to time, he would play with a piece of jade handle, on top of which was carved a buddha with a low eyebrow that was straight like the eyes of a god. As he rubbed it, a buddhist light would vaguely appear, overlapping to form a seven-colored circle of light that wrapped around the young man, making him look like a god.

This person was the second prince, Hong Futian.

"Old Thirty-Six, Princess Mu Yue, I didn't expect that royal father would actually send you to work for me. However, this is good as well. We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's just nice to reminisce about old times." I saw the intelligence that was sent down from your coast and it was intercepted and killed by that beast, the Bloodthirsty Ape, midway? Is there any problem? " The second brother, Hong Fu Tian, walked up to them and greeted them warmly, causing the officials to nod their heads. They mistook this as a brotherly relationship and began to exchange greetings with each other.

However, Hong Yu knew that the number two was the Laughing Tiger, the most sinister of them all. Hong Yu knew that the number two was the Laughing Tiger, the most sinister of them all.

"Thank you second brother for your concern …" Hong Yu was preparing to deal with the situation, but he immediately noticed the abnormality and became dumbfounded.

More than ten years ago, he was tricked away by Hong Futian and never saw it again. Now that he saw it, he immediately thought of everything that had happened, and the love he had for his mother was no longer able to hold back. His hatred for this person filled his chest, and if it wasn't for the public, he would have done it a long time ago.

"Old Second is despicable! "It's fine if you take my jade pendant, but right now, you have to show it to me as soon as we meet. This is embarrassing me, I can't do what he says." Hong Yu swallowed his anger as he scolded angrily in his heart. His eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

Li Muyue also saw the abnormality and gave Hong Yu a meaningful glance, hinting him not to fall for it.

"Haha, what's wrong with Old Thirty-Six? "Kid, you've always been like this, taciturn and playing the fool. Now that you're big or small, you're still a coward …" Upon seeing Hong Yu's deathly pale face, Hong Futian immediately knew of the change in expression. His teasing grew even more intense, as if he still wanted to expose the truth.

When Hong Yu heard this, he could no longer hold back the rage raging in his chest. He was about to erupt when he heard a clear shout that interrupted his movements.

"Well then, since the Emperor has sent us to exterminate the evil and peaceful people, and to exterminate the barbarian spies, we must not delay any further. Second Prince, you are going a bit too far!"

Li Muyue opened her mouth, her face was as cold as frost, and her blood boiling with killing intent.

She brazenly looked Hong Futian in the eye and did not retreat in the slightest.

She was helping Hong Yu get out of trouble, but at the same time, she had also offended Hong Futian.

The faces of all the officials present paled, and they trembled in fear. On one side was the minister in charge, and on the other was their prince. The atmosphere was tense after just a few words, so how could they choose?

"Since that's the case, then there's no need to waste any more time. I've already set up the banquet, let's eat and chat." He never thought that Li Mu Yue would actually help Hong Yu. However, when he thought about the identity of this girl, he had no choice but to suppress his killing intent. He glared fiercely at the two of them and immediately turned around to leave.

"That's for the best." Li Muyue did not seem to care, as she pulled Hong Yu along as she strode forward.

Hong Yu followed beside Li Muyue without saying a word, and only shot her a grateful look. He knew that if she didn't stand up for him, then he really might have been unable to resist the urge to fight her. At that time, he might really be killed by the experts under Hong Futian's command.

Although he was also a minister and had the title of a duke, not any lower than Hong Futian, he had a shallow foundation and had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Right now, he had to establish himself in Liangzhou and use whatever methods he could. He could not stir up trouble, lest he expose the people to the public, which would only make things more dangerous.

There was a manor a mile or two away from the river. It was grand and luxurious, occupying over a hundred acres of land. The manor was guarded three or three times and was extremely careful.

"Second brother is sinister. If it weren't for his humiliating and mocking words from before, he would have taken me seriously. However, to let me sit at the seat of honor is just a joke for everyone to see." Hong Yu was seated at the highest seat as he was served. Looking at the looks of disdain, ridicule and contempt from the officials below, he immediately knew the evil intentions of Hong Futian.

Earlier, he was ridiculed and humiliated by Hong Futian at the dock, so he was forced to swallow his anger. All of this was witnessed by many officials. Now, they wanted him to sit in the main seat so that he would panic and make a joke under their complicated gazes.

"If you want to make me lose face, then I'm not as good as you want me to be." He secretly meditated on the Dao patterns of the Son of Heaven and in the blink of an eye, his demeanor underwent a drastic change. He was just like the Emperor of the Son of Heaven, sitting high above the temple and sweeping his gaze across everyone. He was so domineering that he directly looked at the officials who were sizing him up and threw their gazes at him.

Swish!

Almost in an instant, everyone felt a formless majesty descend onto them, as if they were sitting in a golden throne room, facing the summons of the Emperor. Their minds were in a state of panic, they were worried about gains and losses, and they unconsciously lost control of their limbs, they lowered their heads, and even couldn't stand steadily, and were about to involuntarily kneel in front of Hong Yu.

"Why is this minister so terrifying?"

"I can see that this Duke Yu isn't as terrible as our Prince says he is. He seems to have been in a high position for a long time, and every time he raises his hand, he has the bearing of a king."

"I can't take it anymore, I have to kneel …"

Many officials were whispering to each other as they stared at Hong Yu fearfully, not daring to make any more small moves.

Hong Yu acted as if nothing had happened when he saw the situation. He knew that he had used the spirit of the Son of Heaven to intimidate the minds of the officials in the hall, which was why they were behaving in such a manner.

When he looked again, he noticed that Li Muyue, who was sitting steadily on the other side, was secretly sizing up the crowd below. However, she seemed to have gotten used to this kind of scene and didn't look like she was facing her own enemy.

He secretly nodded his head as he knew that this girl was an expert in the art of dancing in the capital. She could even form a wife army and lead thousands of troops as if she was nothing. Even if she was summoned by the Great Sky Emperor, she would still be able to maintain her composure.

"Humph!"

A cold grunt exploded beside Hong Yu's ears, causing his ears to buzz.

He subconsciously looked towards Hong Lingtong's direction.

It was indeed this person.

The second brother, Hong Lingtian, saw that Hong Yu had easily and easily relieved him. He knew that Hong Yu had already made some achievements in his martial arts cultivation and gave birth to a mental aura. Hong Yu would not lose his composure, make a fool of himself, or make jokes just because everyone was looking at him.

This made him even more infuriated and immediately exploded with dissatisfaction.

Hong Yu and Qin Lie only looked each other in the eye for a moment before withdrawing all of their auras. Like an old, withered tree, no matter how Old Second, Hong Fu Tian, sized up and provoked, he did not react. His expression was without sadness or joy.

Suddenly, Li Muyue opened her mouth.

Hong Yu and Hong Futian also gave up and looked towards her while listening attentively.
