Ye Li understood what Yue Wushang meant. Although he didn't want to fight with Yue Zhan, he was the only one who could stand up and speak now.
He glanced at Yue Zhan and said, “Third Prince, I can agree to fight you, but I cannot agree to fight you today.
Today is the day when all the guests gather. If I take action during the banquet, I will also be bringing shame to the Tang Kingdom.
Third Prince, you can ignore the face of your Tianyue Kingdom, but I must consider the face of the Tang Kingdom.
If you want to force me to fight at the banquet, then I will just admit defeat. Anyway, if you want to fight me, I will run away. You will definitely not feel comfortable with it!"
Ye Li knew very well what the martial arts fans were thinking. They just wanted to fight to their heart's content. Now Ye Li was threatening them with "not fighting with all your heart", which was more effective than saying anything else.
Sure enough, when Yue Zhan heard what Ye Li said, he immediately showed an extremely hesitant look on his face. After struggling for a moment, he finally seemed to compromise and said, "Okay, then let's make an appointment to fight at noon tomorrow in the palace's martial arts arena.
But you can't break your promise, otherwise I will go to your post station to look for you. If I can't find you at the post station, I will go to your Tang country!!!"
Hearing the other party's childish words, Ye Li smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Third Prince, I, Ye Li, mean what I say and will never break the contract."
Yue Zhan seemed to be finally relieved after hearing this. He laughed twice, clasped his fists in a casual salute, and left.
Yue Wushang looked at his third brother's leaving back, sighed helplessly, and then looked at Ye Li with a smile on his face.
"This little brother Ye Li must be the winner of the title of Son of the Moon this time. It's true that heroes emerge young!"
Yue Wushang said to Ye Li.
Ye Li quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Ye Li greets His Majesty Shen Yue, Your Majesty is too kind!"
Yue Wushang waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, I still have to thank you for what happened today.
In fact, you don't have to agree to my brother's request. You came from afar as a guest, but you have to fight him because of us. I am really sorry. "
Ye Li smiled upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty Shen Yue, you are too kind. The Third Prince is obsessed with martial arts, and such a person is very rare.
Fighting with him is also a good thing. We are at the same level, and maybe we can gain something from verifying each other's abilities."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Yue Wushang looked at Ye Li with admiration and said, "No wonder you can reach the Divine Appearance Stage at such a young age, you are truly extraordinary.
Little brother, you won the title of Son of the Moon this time, and you helped me calm down my third brother and prevented him from taking action at the banquet. You really did me a great favor.
I have decided... to take back your title of Son of the Moon and give you the title of Moon Master. What do you think?"
Hearing Yue Wushang's words, everyone around, including Li Rushan, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then burst into words of admiration.
Li Rushan saw a trace of doubt on Ye Li's face, and immediately explained: "Ye Li, Moon Master is equivalent to the title of our Tang country's national scholar, and it is the level of a golden national scholar!!!"
Ye Li was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the other party would suddenly give him such a high status.
With the title of Moon Master, he has a very high status in Tianyue Kingdom. Although he has no real power, he is equivalent to a friend of the royal family and is definitely a respected person.
If Ye Li needs anything and seeks help from the royal family, there is no way the royal family will refuse him. It is equivalent to him having the support of Tianyue Kingdom out of thin air.
Touching his nose, Ye Li was stunned for a long time, then he hurriedly saluted Yue Wushang and said: "Ye Li thanks His Majesty Shen Yue for the reward!"
Yue Wushang smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "No need to be so polite, I will have someone make a Moon Master Order for you tomorrow.
In the future, when you come to my Tianyue Country, you can get help from any local government by showing the Moon Master's Order to them.
Well, today's episode has disturbed your dinner and drinks, so I won't keep you here any longer. I'll go back to my seat."
Li Rushan saw Yue Wushang wanted to leave, and quickly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty Shenyue, please wait a minute. Today is your birthday, and we in the Tang Kingdom have not congratulated your majesty individually yet.
Since Your Majesty has come here, let us offer a glass of wine to Your Majesty and wish Your Majesty a long life and happiness!!!"
As Li Rushan spoke, he poured a few glasses of wine on the table.
Yue Wushang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he laughed and said, "I have heard of the name of the Second Prince of Tang for a long time. Seeing him today is indeed better than what I heard."
As he spoke, Yue Wushang had already walked to the table and picked up a glass of wine.
At Li Rushan's suggestion, Ye Li also picked up a glass of wine. After the three of them looked at each other, they drank the wine in one gulp.
After Yue Wushang put down his wine glass, he slowly returned to his table and sat down, but the scene in front of Li Rushan and others immediately became lively.
Many envoys sent by Tianyue Kingdom's vassal states came to Li Rushan's table and started toasting them. Suddenly, their place became lively.
Originally, there were not many interactions between the Tang Kingdom and the Tianyue Kingdom and its vassal states. However, because of the glass of wine drunk by Yue Wushang, they have opened the door to relations with various countries.
Although the national strength of these vassal states of Tianyue Kingdom is far less powerful than that of Tang Kingdom, each country has its own advantages after all. If Tang Kingdom can establish stable relations with a number of countries, then they will have room for cooperation and communication on many issues, which will be extremely beneficial to themselves.
This is also the reason why Yue Wushang praised Li Rushan just now. Li Rushan is indeed a talent in governing the country.
Ye Li didn't understand these things at first, but after listening to Li Rushan's explanation, he gradually understood them. He couldn't help but secretly praise Li Rushan in his heart, thinking that Li Rushan would be the true wise ruler of the Tang Kingdom in the future.
The dinner lasted until midnight, and everyone finally toasted Yue Wushang with a glass of wine before the party ended.
Ye Li and others naturally returned to their residence as usual and rested until the morning of the next day.
Ye Li was comprehending the laws in his room, but was soon disturbed by a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Li Rushan standing outside. He said anxiously, "Ye Li, the Third Prince is already waiting outside. He wants to take you to the martial arts arena. Didn't he say noon? It's only morning now."
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying: "Forget it, I'll go there in advance, I guess he may have been waiting all night and is a little impatient.
It doesn't matter whether it's early or late. If I finish it earlier, I'll have one less thing to do.
After you bring the envoys to discuss the state affairs of the two countries with His Majesty Shen Yue, we can return to the Tang Kingdom!"
