Rejection

However, even though Feng Xiao rushed to the palace like a torrential wind, he was stopped before he could even enter the palace gates.

"General Feng, the Ruler has orders that he will send someone to the full residence. General Feng, please return first!" Eight Imperial Guards stopped Feng Xiao in his tracks and refused entry into the Palace.

"Nonsense!"

Seething with anger, even all pleasantries had been abolished as he looked at the Imperial Guards in front of him and roared at them as he looked at them ferociously. "Let me through! I have to go to the Palace to meet the Ruler!"

Eight of them could not help but smile bitterly as they said, "General Feng, please do not make things difficult for us.We have orders to stay here and wait for General. He doesn't want to meet you, if you insist on meeting him, I am afraid all eight of us would lose our heads."
