The festive atmosphere in the spacioushall immediately disappeared.
The surrounding spectators looked at oneanother. Some smiled while they intently watched the amusing play in progress.
Qing Li was delighted, itching to give SuJin Chao a thumbs up for dealing with their common enemy.
This Su Jin Chao was really good, helpinghim let out his anger towards Qing Zhang while publicly declaring his enmity.
Seeing that he succeeded in attracting allthe attention to himself, Su Jin Chao felt exhilarated and fixed his positionto appear more imposing. He coldly sneered, “As someone who has been chasedaway from Xi Lei, on what basis could you represent our kingdom in signing atreaty? Regarding this, I implore Xiao Family’s young Lord to explain clearly.”
In the past, Feng Ming had encountered hisfair share of immoral individuals.
He definitely was not arrogant. If Ruo Yanmade a move, he would be terrified, and if He Di had not brought his navy toteach him a lesson, he would have also tried to avoid him out of fear.
However, against Xi Lei’s half-cookedlittle ambassador’s assistant who was attempting to behave righteously in frontof an audience, even if he only had one eye open, Feng Ming would feel no fear.
After being put in a difficult position bySu Jin Chao, Feng Ming still remained in his seat calmly with an elegant demeanor.His appearance was that of a pure and incomparably handsome figure. He faced SuJin Chao’s hostile glare directly and feigned a dumbfounded expression as hecounter-attacked. “Yii, do not tell me you actually did not know. My title ofXi Lei’s Duke Ming was bestowed personally by Xi Lei’sking. On the day I received the title, the king also issued an imperial edict givingme authority above all officials in Xi Lei. To state it plainly, even yourposition is below mine.”
With a modest and easygoing smile hecontinued, “If the ambassador can represent Xi Lei to sign a treaty withanother kingdom, considering my higher ranking, how could I not also be able torepresent Xi Lei? Is that not correct?”
As he listened, Hao Yuan Jiang knew thesituation would become anything but reassuring.
This argument would surely poke at whetheror not the current king’s succeeding of the throne was valid.
In fact, this question has been a thorn inXi Lei’s current court. If the issue were to surface at Tong’s banquet, theconsequences would be serious.
Hao Yuan Jiang quickly reached out to grabthe sleeve of the dumb child, signaling for him to shut up.
But how could Su Jin Chao be so obedient?Moreover, his sentiments towards the old Hao Yuan Jiang acting as ambassadorwere not good, so he continued opposing Feng Ming arrogantly.
“Humph! What young Lord said just now waswrong. The one who bestowed your title was Rong Tian, however the one rulingover Xi Lei is no longer him, but my king, Rong Tong.”
“The assistant is mistaken in his words.”
His opponent this time was really too goodto teach!
Feng Ming felt that he needed to declarehis undying gratitude for Rong Tong. Seldom did he get to deal with an opponentwho was not too bright.
With a slight tone of ridicule, Feng Mingcontinued, “The reason Rong Tong was able to inherit Xi Lei’s throne wasbecause Rong Tian was thought to have died in battle. Technically, Rong Tian isRong Tong’s predecessor. I do not wish to argue with you right now since we donot even know if Rong Tong has the qualifications to continue as king. First,let me ask you this. Regarding Rong Tian’s past edict, do you really dare notto comply?”
Thinking about the edict, Su Jin Chaohesitated for a while.
Unexpectedly, he nodded immediatelyafterwards and loudly shouted, “I dare!”
The turn of events made even Feng Mingstunned. This bastard definitely has alot of courage, but does he even have a brain?
Su Jin Chao was not as dumb as he seemedsince he dared to publicly announce his opinion brazenly against an imperialedict. Looking at the circle of dignitaries, he gradually restrained hisfrustration.
“Every kingdom knows that my king has inherited the throne afterRong Tian, but I also believe that everyone present has also seen the officialdocument my king recently revealed, right?
Official document? Theone that relays information to government officials and citizens?
