Seeing that the members of the Khitan envoy group, who had been quite arrogant just now, were all standing on the spot with their faces flushed red and speechless, the Zhao family, who was sitting on the dragon throne, immediately rejoiced. The slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. The ministers of the Great Song standing in the hall were all delighted. They all admired the Fourth Prince Zhao Defang, who had just been crowned King of Qin, and then clapped their hands.
The members of the Liao Kingdom's diplomatic mission standing on the right side of the hall initially saw a young man who looked to be only 15 or 16 years old standing on the rightmost side of the Song Dynasty's official. They thought that he was just acting on impulse and trying to be competitive for a moment. He could not answer the question of their Liao Kingdom's princess at all.
However, what they had never expected was that this young man who had not yet dried his * ss spoke clearly, logically, and eloquently. He completely exceeded the wisdom of men of his age. Naturally, they were shocked and speechless.
Not only that, but what made the Liao Kingdom's seven-member diplomatic team, including Xiao Chuo, furious was that Zhao Defang had actually called Xiao Chuo a 'little princess.' To them, it sounded like contempt. After all, Zhao Defang was not as old as Xiao Chuo. He had just turned sixteen, but Xiao Chuo was already a young lady of twenty-eight. Being called "little princess" by others, it was naturally very ear-piercing to them. It would be strange if their lungs didn't explode from anger.
"Young princess of Liao Kingdom, do you have any objections to my son Qin Wang's reply?”Zhao Guan Jia, who had his tiger body jolted, glanced at the dejected Xiao Chuo and proudly asked from above.
"Returning to the Song Dynasty's official words, I am happy to think that the Song Dynasty's King of Qin's words were just eloquent words. When the two countries are at war, it is only a competition of the strength of the Liao army. No matter how good it is, it can only be considered true if it can be used on the battlefield.”How could Xiao Chuo, who was furious in his heart, be willing to yield to Zhao Defang? He immediately raised his head. She pushed her chest forward and replied, unwilling to be outdone.
After she finished speaking, she remembered that she had come to the palace hall to do something serious. So, she walked back to the seat occupied by the Liao Kingdom's diplomatic delegation and took a squarish thing wrapped in golden silk from a chubby Khitan maid with baby fat on her face. Then, she stood up again and took a big step forward.
"Official of the Song Dynasty, this official has come to your country with the holy will of our Liao Kingdom. In this parcel in my hand, there is the Liao Kingdom's letter of credence and a handwritten letter from our Great Khan to you. I will present it to you and hope that you can read it.”After Xiao Chuo stood still, he held the thing wrapped in golden silk with both hands, bowed, and said solemnly.
Since that's the case, I'll accept it. "The official Zhao, who was sitting upright, replied indifferently. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Wang, who was standing beside him. He tidied up and ordered,"Wang Fugui, go down and bring the letter and credentials that the young princess of the Liao Kingdom has sent. I want to take a look and see if the Liao Kingdom wants to be friends or enemies with our Great Song."“
"Here. "After hearing the orders of the Zhao family, Eunuch Wang, who was standing at the side, cupped his hands and bowed, replied, then tiptoed down the steps of the throne room.
Eunuch Wang, who was in charge of the inner court, was already over sixty years old. However, he still looked old and frail. His body was as light as a swallow as he walked to Xiao Chuo, who was half a zhang away. After taking the golden silk package from her pair of jade hands, he turned around and rushed back to the throne room.
It could really be said that he moved like a rabbit and was as light as a swallow. Zhao Defang, who was standing in His Highness, was shocked and secretly exclaimed.
He walked up to the Zhao family's official and handed over the gold in his hands. The lustful bundle then retreated to the side.
After opening the letter of credence, Zhao Guanjia's expression was as usual. However, when he opened the letter that the Khan of Liao Kingdom had written to him, his expression became grave and his brows furrowed after he had only skimmed through it for half a cup of tea's time. As long as one was observant, they could tell at a glance that the Zhao family's dragon face was furious.
"I have already received the letter and credentials. Wait until another day, I will reply again. Today, my body is a little tired. I have to return to Funing Palace to rest.”The furious Zhao official suppressed the anger in his heart and stood up angrily. He walked down the throne room and gritted his teeth.
When Zhao Guanjia strode to the front of Li Guanyu, he ordered,"Li Honglu, these Liao Kingdom's envoys have come from afar and are travel-worn. Please settle them down in the relay station outside the Imperial City. When the day comes, I will summon them to discuss the major matters between the two countries.”
After saying this, he left without even waiting for Li Honglu to reply. From the throne room until he left the Purple Imperial Palace, he did not even glance at the members of the Liao Kingdom's diplomatic mission standing on the right side of the hall.
However, when Zhao Guanjia, who had stormed out of Zichen Hall, arrived at Wenhua Hall, he stopped and ordered Eunuch Wang, who had followed him closely, to whisper a few words in his ear. Then, under the protection of the imperial guards, he walked towards Chuigong Hall not far away.
Eunuch Wang, who was good at observing people's expressions, had long seen that the Zhao official's expression was not good after receiving the instructions whispered in his ear. How could he dare to delay for even a moment? He lowered his head and cupped his hands as he watched the Zhao official walk out of the Wenhua Hall. Only then did he quickly turn around and walk hurriedly towards the Purple Mansion Hall.
A moment after the Zhao family walked out of the Purple Mansion Hall, Xiao Chuo, who had long expected that the Emperor of the Song Country would fly into a rage out of humiliation after reading the letter from his Khan, did not show any surprise on her face. Instead, she revealed a somewhat smug expression that was not easily noticed by others. This was probably the result she wanted.
After seeing their own official leave in a huff for some unknown reason, the ministers who participated in the meeting all walked out of the Purple Mansion Hall with puzzled expressions. Unfortunately, Ye Lui Xiu Ge, who had been interrupted by the late Zhao officials, saw the Song Emperor leave the hall. Other than the members of the envoy group, there were only seven or eight Song officials left. After staying silent for less than an hour, he became fearless.
The fierce-looking Ye Lui Xiu Ge walked in front of Prime Minister Zhao Pu, who was about to leave the Purple Mansion Hall, and continued to force him to accept his apology. Otherwise, he would unreasonably block Zhao Pu's way and not let him leave the Purple Mansion Hall. There was probably no one else in the world who could be so arrogant in other people's territory.
After seeing this scene, how could Zhao Pu, who was in his forties, be a match for Ye Lui Xiuge, who was in his early twenties and had a strong body? Under a few shoves, Zhao Pu staggered. If Zhao Defang, who had walked over in time, had not reached out to support him, he would have really fallen into the hall.
Seeing that Ye Lui Xiuge was so difficult to deal with and was so reckless, the furious Zhao Defang helped Zhao Pu up and stood between Zhao Pu and Ye Lui Xiuge. He wanted to use this to stop Ye Lui Xiuge from continuing to make things difficult for Zhao Pu.
"Oh, aren't you the fourth prince of the Song Dynasty? What a sharp mouth. Considering your young age, you spoke arrogantly and slandered my Liao Dynasty just now. As a true warrior of the Liao Dynasty, I won't argue with you. Now, this is a matter between me and the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu. Please don't interfere. Otherwise, if you hurt the king, don't blame me for not reminding you.”Brother Ye Lui Xiu, who was stuttering in Mandarin, saw Zhao Defang suddenly appear out of nowhere and stand in front of him and Prime Minister Zhao Pu. He immediately stopped and tried to persuade Zhao Defang.
"You son who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, how dare you behave atrociously in the palace of Great Song!”Zhao Defang, who was tightly protecting Prime Minister Zhao Pu with his thin body, saw the tall and burly, fierce-looking Ye Lui Xiuge being so bold and reckless. In a fit of anger, he wanted to scold him. However, he was afraid that if he heard it, not only would he anger the other party, but it would also make him, the King of Qin, lose his dignity. Thus, he thought of a way to mix English with Chinese. This way, not only did he have the speed of his tongue, but he also felt quite relieved.
When Zhao Defang finished speaking, the people standing around were all confused and did not know what was going on. After all, they were all ancient people from the Song Dynasty. How could they know the meaning of English? This was especially true for the internet term " nozu no die " that had only been popular for more than a thousand years. Even British people who spoke London accent would not know what it meant, let alone the ancient people from more than a thousand years ago.
The arrogant and rude Ye Lui Xiu Ge, at this moment, if all his hair was cut off and he was shaved bald, he would really look like a fat monk with big ears.
After the simple-minded but brawny Ye Lui Xiu Ge stood there in a daze for a moment, he thought to himself. Although he didn't know the full meaning of Zhao Defang's words, but seeing Zhao Defang's smug look, he felt that what Zhao Defang said just now was definitely not good.
Thus, Ye Lui Xiu Ge, who understood that he had been played, immediately flew into a rage. Like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, he raised his two fists that were like stone hammers and smashed them towards Zhao Defang's face to vent the hatred in his heart.
Seeing that Ye Lui Xiu Ge was angered by him, Zhao Defang hurriedly pushed Zhao Pu to the side. His reaction was as fast as lightning as he stretched out his hand. The two menacing iron fists flew over his head, allowing him to escape. Otherwise, the consequences of being hit in the face by the two hammers could be imagined.
In an instant, Zhao Defang suddenly felt that his reaction had actually become so sensitive. Even he himself did not know how he had done it just now.
In just a moment, the exasperated Ye Lui Xiuge saw that his fist had missed and was naturally furious. He took a big step forward and continued to punch Zhao Defang's abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Defang thought of a countermeasure. Therefore, he took two steps back and took the stance of Taiji Fist. When he waved his fists at him, he calmly punched out. This punch was as fast as lightning and met the two iron fists.
What Zhao Defang did not expect was that after this seemingly casual punch collided with Ye Lui Xiuge's two iron fists, a loud " bang " sounded. However, he did not feel any pain at all. Ye Lui Xiuge, who was clenching his fists tightly, bared his teeth and screamed.
Seeing Ye Lui Xiu Ge's miserable appearance, how could Zhao Defang stop while she was ahead? On the contrary, he took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack. He took two steps forward and slowly threw a punch at Ye Lui Xiuge's abdomen. With a " bang ", his fist smashed into Ye Lui Xiuge's sturdy chest. Immediately after, with a " bang ", Ye Lui Xiuge, who was like a fat bear, was knocked down to the ground. He lay on the ground and covered his abdomen with both hands that had been attacked by Zhao Defang." Ahhhh!" He screamed in pain.
At the same time, Ye Lui Xiu Ge, who was rolling on the ground in unbearable pain, opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood. This made the Liao Kingdom's diplomatic mission members, who usually saw the competitive Ye Lui Xiu Ge beat the crap out of others, feel extremely shocked. They were all dumbfounded, and they all stood on the spot in fear. Even Xiao Chuo, who was the calmest, was shocked.
Every member of the Liao Kingdom's diplomatic mission couldn't believe their eyes. They had just witnessed the number one warrior of the Liao Kingdom being knocked to the ground by a thin and weak young man from the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, he had even bled.
Hearing the sounds of fighting in the Purple Mansion Hall, the Imperial Army guards standing under the eaves of the hall's veranda finally arrived after Zhao Defang knocked Ye Lui Xiu Ge to the ground.
When they saw His Royal Highness the King of Qin's extremely substandard horse stance, they all wanted to laugh secretly. However, when they learned that it was the young King of Qin who had knocked down the tall and burly warrior of the Liao Kingdom, their smiles quickly disappeared, and their faces were filled with admiration and worship.
"All of you can leave now. There's nothing for you to do here. By the time you arrive, I'm afraid this king and Prime Minister Zhao would have been beaten half to death by this stupid fatty from Liao Kingdom.”After Zhao Defang finished her stance, she waved her hand at the 20 or so Imperial Army guards who had surrounded Ye Lui Xiuge, who was lying on the ground and wailing. She gestured for them to retreat and spoke in a nonchalant and mocking manner.
After the Imperial Army guards left the Purple Imperial Hall, Eunuch Wang, the chief steward of the inner court, walked in. When he arrived in front of Zhao Defang and saw Ye Lui Xiu Ge lying on the ground wailing, he couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing lightly for a moment, he finally remembered that he had something serious to attend to. He hurriedly called Zhao Pu and Zhao Defang over and whispered some instructions in their ears. Then, he called the two of them over and followed him out of the Purple Mansion Hall's hall door. They hurriedly walked toward the Chuigong Hall that was a hundred feet away.
Wen De Hall and Zi Chen Hall were only seventy to eighty feet away, and Zhao Defang and Ye Lui Xiu Ge ended the battle quickly. Only after a complete victory did they welcome Eunuch Wang who came to deliver the Zhao family's orders. There was a saying, no coincidence, no story.
At first, when Ye Lui Xiuge dared to provoke Prime Minister Zhao Pu and King of Qin Zhao Defang, Xiao Chuo, as the host, stood aside and ignored them. Her purpose was to use this opportunity to teach these two, an old and a young, a lesson for looking down on her.
However, what she never expected was that Ye Lui Xiu Ge, who was previously invincible in the Liao Kingdom, was actually defeated by the young Qin Emperor Zhao Defang in an instant. He shot himself in the foot. This time, he didn't steal the chicken and even lost a handful of good rice.
After Zhao Defang, Zhao Pu, and Eunuch Wang left the Purple Mansion Hall, Xiao Chuo, who was extremely angry, quickly asked the other four people behind him to help Ye Lui Xiuge, who was rolling on the ground in unbearable pain, up. Li Guanyu, the Honglu official who had always maintained his composure, led them to a courier station not far from the Imperial City.
After all the arrangements were made, Xiao Chuo, who was in his room, was puzzled by the fact that Zhao Defang, who had saved her life a few days ago and was now the King of Qin, was only 15 or 16 years old. He was so skilled in martial arts and eloquent. What kind of Prince of Song was this?
Of course, the most important thing was that while saving her life, he also took advantage of her body-pressing her chest and kissing her lips in front of everyone. In Xiao Chuo's eyes, this made her feel angry and hateful. Especially after he found out his true identity today.
However, what made Xiao Chuo the most curious was that Zhao Defang's words before fighting with Ye Lui Xiu Ge had mixed in some words that she had never heard of before. From the moment she left the Purple Mansion Hall until now, she still couldn't figure out what these unfamiliar words meant.
It could be said that in Xiao Chuo's eyes, Zhao Defang had become an enemy that made him angry, hateful, mysterious, powerful, and eloquent. At the same time, he was also her savior. Between them, she really had a hard time choosing.
