The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Naturally, the old general and Ruan Xiaojiu did not kneel. The emperor saw it but did not care because it had always been like this.

…Stand up….

Everyone stood up and sat back in their original seats.

Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes lit up when she saw the snacks on the table. She was hungry when she woke up, but she hadn't eaten anything since she came to the palace to eat. Now she saw the snacks and tea, which was exactly what she wanted, so she picked them up and started eating.

Just as Ruan Jun'an was about to stop her, he saw that Ruan Xiaojiu had already eaten it. He had no choice but to let it go. He and his grandfather would protect her.

Ruan Xiaojiu felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at her from a distance, with only malice but no murderous intent, so she ignored them.

Ruan Jun'an stopped looking at Ruan Xiaojiu, looked around, and then whispered to the old general: Why don't I see anyone from Yaowang Valley, could they have left?

The old general rolled his eyes and said: How is that possible? Be careful, maybe he is plotting against us behind our backs!

The emperor announced the start of the banquet and the palace maids began to serve the dishes. As expected of a palace, the wine, refreshments and snacks were good, and even the food was plentiful. Ruan Xiaojiu was happy now. Besides loving to tease handsome men, she especially loved to eat delicious food.

The old general and Ruan Jun'an kept an eye on their surroundings and did not dare to relax.

The emperor looked at Ruan Xiaojiu eating like this and sneered in his heart, "Eat! Eat! You won't be able to eat it anymore in the future, humph..."

In the middle of the performance stage, young ladies began to dance and play the piano. The emperor nodded repeatedly and even gave rewards to those who were particularly satisfied.

The queen looked kind and loving, sitting next to the emperor and whispering to him from time to time. She glanced at Ruan Xiaojiu several times and wanted to talk to him, but Ruan Xiaojiu kept his head down eating and didn't look at the queen, so the queen gave up the idea of talking to Ruan Xiaojiu.

The two imperial concubines even openly selected outstanding women here, choosing families for their sons who were talented and could help their sons' futures.

For a moment, the hall was filled with singing and dancing, and it was very lively. Ruan Xiaojiu ate and watched, completely immersed in this happiness.

The banquet was halfway through and the singing and dancing were coming to an end when suddenly some people in the hall began to feel weak all over and their heads felt heavy. Some slumped in their chairs, and some fell to the ground. Immediately, many people sensed something was wrong and began to panic, and the hall was in chaos.

The emperor was up there, steady as a rock, saying, "My dear ministers, don't panic," in a low voice. The eunuch on the side conveyed the emperor's meaning, shouting, "Don't panic, don't be afraid. The emperor won't hurt you." As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly became quiet.

The old general and Nguyen Jun'an hadn't touched anything here, not even a sip of tea, so they were fine and didn't feel powerless. They knew something was wrong, but they didn't expect it to be poisoned, which was understandable.

They saw that Ruan Xiaojiu was still eating and didn't look like anything was wrong. The two looked at each other, but no one said anything and continued to watch everything in the field.

At this time, the door of the hall was opened, and a group of people walked in from outside. They were none other than Chen Ying'er, the young master of Yaowang Valley, and two elders, followed by twenty poison masters, and at the end were the emperor's royal guards.

When Chen Ying'er saw the scene in the hall, her eyebrows twitched. It was okay that the emperor was so stupid, but how did he become the emperor?

I asked him to poison the people in the general's mansion, but how could he poison all the civil and military officials in the court? That would be fine, but what was going on at that table? Two people were sitting there watching the fun, while one was still eating.

No wonder he comes to ask for a packet of medicine one moment and another. I gave him all the special-effect muscle softening powder I brought with me, but he still said it was not enough. How the hell is this possible?

Although he was angry, he still took out a bottle of antidote and asked the royal guards to detoxify the ministers and their families. All they had to do was put the bottle under their noses and smell the poison to be detoxified.

The imperial guards looked at the emperor, who nodded. Then he took the antidote and went to detoxify the ministers and their families.

Chen Ying'er said loudly that those who had been detoxified should leave immediately and not stay, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

The ministers all noticed that something was wrong. They were confused about what the emperor was going to do and what these people were doing. But at the moment they didn't care about anything else. They all wanted to leave here quickly. Nothing was more important than their own lives, so they didn't care about what they were going to do.

After a while, everyone in the hall who should have left had left, leaving only those who couldn't leave.

In addition to the old general and his two grandchildren, there are several other people who particularly respect the old general. They persuaded their families to leave, and they stayed here to see what the emperor and others wanted to do by joining forces to deal with their own people. They are all old men in the court, and they are all people valued by the late emperor, so they naturally have a say.

Their poison had been cured, and they stood out in the middle of the hall.

The Emperor, along with the Empress and two concubines, stood up and left. He had said he wouldn't help Chen Ying'er capture Ruan Xiaojiu. Everything depended on their own abilities. The Emperor had to leave himself a way out, otherwise, if they fell out, there would be no way to resolve the situation. It was fine now; he wasn't involved. Even if the old general got angry, it wouldn't reach him. He was just a bystander.

The ministers standing in the middle of the hall were dumbfounded. The emperor was gone. They were civil servants and had no martial arts skills. They just wanted to stay and speak to the emperor on behalf of the old general. Things had to be prioritized and no matter how much their general disliked it, he should not unite with outsiders to deal with his own people. However, now that the emperor was gone, there was no place for them to stay here.

They looked at each other, wondering if it was too late for them to leave now!

The answer is of course it is too late. Chen Ying'er didn't want to make things difficult for anyone other than the Ruan family, but some people wanted to stand up for the Ruan family. She also saw that the remaining few people were the Ruan family's confidants, so why was she hesitating? Of course she would take them all down.

The emperor left, but Chen Ying'er didn't care. It was enough for these people to capture the Ruan family.

Chen Ying'er found a seat opposite Ruan Xiaojiu and sat down, resting her chin with one hand, looking at the three people opposite her, the grandfather and grandson. Ruan Xiaojiu was still eating, but she didn't care. After all, if you want someone's life, you have to let him die of fullness!

She already knew everything about the Ruan family, and she had made a point of learning more about them these days. To be honest, she admired the Ruan family. Even after the emperor treated them like that, they still defended the country for Qingfeng, which was truly admirable.

Ruan Xiaojiu was full and satisfied. He pushed the bowl and chopsticks forward, wiped his mouth, and leaned back, looking very satisfied.

Ruan Xiaojiu looked at Chen Ying'er opposite him, smiled and said: You are late, you can only eat leftovers.

Chen Ying'er just smiled and said nothing.

Ruan Xiaojiu turned his head, looked at his grandfather and brother, and said: I'm full, let's go home!

When the old general heard what his granddaughter said, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Chen Ying'er put away her smile and said, "Want to leave? Have you asked me?"

Ruan Xiaojiu chuckled, who do you think you are? Why do we have to ask you before we leave? You are not the emperor.

Chen Ying'er didn't want to say more to Ruan Xiaojiu. She bowed to the old general and said, "Old General Ruan, I believe you should know that the purpose of doing this today is to capture Ruan Xiaojiu. She killed the direct disciple of my Yaowang Valley. We have to seek justice for Junior Sister Liu."

The old general listened but didn't respond...

Chen Ying'er continued, "We don't want to implicate anyone from the Ruan family. As long as you hand over Ruan Xiaojiu to us for disposal, this matter will be over."

The old general sneered and said, "We have no intention of making enemies with you, but if you want to capture my granddaughter, then your calculations must be wrong. However, in order to compensate, you can put forward two conditions, or if you still want silver, my general's mansion will try its best to meet them."

After hearing this, Chen Ying'er paused and said: I know Ruan Xiaojiu is the apple of your eye, but if the old general insists on protecting Ruan Xiaojiu, we can only offend him.

Her Medicine King Valley has no shortage of money. As for the conditions, she believes that if the General's Mansion can do it, the Medicine King Valley can do it too. She cannot compromise easily, otherwise where will the prestige of the Medicine King Valley be? It is not like anyone can come and kill her and then give some compensation. Her father will not agree to that either.

Chen Ying'er waved her hand and took them down. The two elders immediately went to grab Ruan Xiaojiu. Ruan Xiaojiu didn't move and sat there as if she was scared silly. Only she knew that she didn't care about these minions at all.

Ruan Jun'an swung the wheelchair, and it instantly blocked Ruan Xiaojiu. Most of the people in Yaowang Valley were both doctors and poison masters, and they had martial arts skills, but they were not very powerful.

The old general was afraid that the three of them could not defeat the enemy, so he gave a signal and then stood beside Ruan Xiaojiu to protect him.

The two elders didn't take it seriously when they saw that he was a cripple. They showed no mercy and slapped Ruan Jun'an on the chest with both palms at the same time. Ruan Jun'an didn't dare to hesitate. Although his legs and feet were inconvenient, his internal strength was still there. He faced the two men with both hands, and the three of them were on equal footing.

Seeing that their martial arts skills were of no use, the two elders immediately poisoned Ruan Jun'an. Although it was not a fatal poison, it was enough to hurt Ruan Jun'an. Ruan Jun'an immediately used his internal energy to dissipate it and held his breath.

Unexpectedly, the two old guys thought poison was just an appetizer, and the real move was coming later. They took out something from their bodies at the same time, opened the bottle, and then threw it towards Ruan Junan. Ruan Junan didn't know what it was, and instinctively used his internal force to block it. The bottle broke at once, and many small insects crawled out of it in an instant. The old general was shocked when he saw it, because there were actually carnivorous ants inside.

These people in Yaowang Valley are too much. They actually use such a vicious thing to deal with their own granddaughter.

The ministers standing in the middle of the hall turned pale when they saw the carnivorous ants. These things could turn a person into bones in an instant, so who wouldn't be afraid?

Although one of the ministers, named Zhang, was also afraid, he still stepped forward bravely and said: How could you from Yaowang Valley bring such dangerous things into the palace? Aren’t you afraid that the emperor will punish you?

The old general is our country's national defender. Are you openly challenging our Qingfeng Kingdom?

An elder glanced at Lord Zhang and smiled contemptuously, a look filled with deep mockery. He then urged the carnivorous ants to attack Lord Zhang.

The old general wanted to rescue them, but it was too late. The carnivorous ants had formed a swarm of animals, and one move would leave a large group behind. This was no joke. If he left, his grandchildren would be in danger.

Soon, Master Zhang cried out in agony, his body covered in carnivorous ants, the pain piercing his lungs. The adults nearby felt their scalps tingle, nearly fainting, and two of them wet their pants out of fear.

This was too cruel. After a few breaths, Lord Zhang could no longer make any sound. The food he was eating quickly turned into bloody bones. It was quite visually shocking. The old general's eyes turned red and he felt extremely regretful. Lord Zhang had ended up like this just because he was speaking for him. He felt guilty, sad, and hateful at the same time.

The old general's upright figure trembled slightly, fearing that someone else would anger the two people controlling the carnivorous ants. He said, "I know you all feel sorry for me, but the emperor has gone to hide away, so don't come out and die. My Ruan family has devoted our lives to the celebration of the country, and we have given our all, but in the end, the emperor has abandoned us, allowing these rats to bully us. However, I appreciate the kindness of the adults, but this is a matter between our Ruan family and them, so please don't interfere." The old general said with red eyes and a bow.

After hearing what the old general said, several officials felt disappointed with the emperor and felt that it was not worth it to replace the old general. However, the scene just now made them feel frightened. After seeing the tragic death of Lord Zhang with their own eyes, they felt that they had aged ten years in an instant, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over their bodies.

After seeing what just happened, the old general did not dare to be careless, and Ruan Jun'an looked at the carnivorous ants around him with even greater vigilance.

Ruan Xiaojiu was protected by them in the middle, with a calm expression on her face, as if she was just a bystander.

At this time, the door was opened again, and many soldiers with knives rushed in from outside. The hall suddenly became crowded, and the soldiers surrounded all of Chen Ying'er's people in the middle.

Leading the charge was a lieutenant named Wang Shaochen, the old general's most capable subordinate. He had served the old general for many years and his loyalty was unquestionable. He received the signal and rushed over with about 500 soldiers at top speed.

When the captain saw what was happening around the old general, he was so frightened that his scalp went numb. This thing was not common. How could these vicious things appear here!

The old general and Ruan Jun'an kept using their internal energy to drive away the carnivorous ants, but the carnivorous ants were controlled by the elders and would not shift their targets to attack others.

Seeing that they had found help, Chen Ying'er was not panicked. She made a gesture, and instantly the twenty poison masters in the hall simultaneously sprinkled poison on the surrounding officers and soldiers. They did not use any deadly poison, just some things similar to muscle softening powder.

The soldiers were caught off guard, or even if they had been, it would have been useless because the space was too small to hide. Now, they were caught in a swarm of attacks.

Chen Ying'er smiled and said: Old General, I think you should hand over your useless granddaughter, otherwise I will be in a bad mood and accidentally kill a few people, which would be bad.

Soldiers can fight, but when they encounter someone who can use poison, they are hard to defend against.

Just when Chen Ying'er felt she had won, a lazy voice rang out, "Hey... Old Poison Lady, isn't your Medicine King Valley about practicing medicine and saving lives? Are you going to change the name to Poison Valley?"
