The feeling of having his life in someone else's grasp was really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, now it seemed that Li Chengqian's beating had finally come to an end. No one was taken for surgery. It was really gratifying.
Yan Wenxi smiled on the surface, but his heart sank.
Originally, at the government office, because of his words, the officials of Xuanzhou had already formed a tacit understanding to unite and resist Li Chengqian.
But now? He didn't even need to think to know that this tacit understanding that couldn't be said had already turned into nothingness.
"Eh, why aren't there any chairs here? These servants are really messing around. Hurry up and bring chairs for the lords!”
Li Chengqian shouted angrily, pretending that he had only just seen these people standing there.
The officials smiled bitterly, but no one dared to say anything.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful. I'm afraid we've all underestimated him. We don't know what to do in the future.”
"Ai, with this beating, I'm afraid that as long as the Crown Prince is in Xuanzhou, no one will dare to disobey him.”
"That's right. Look at the Crown Prince's imposing manner. He truly is worthy of being the Crown Prince of the Great Tang. For a moment, I even thought that His Majesty had come personally!”
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but the servants brought over stools and arranged the officials 'seats at a place slightly further away from Li Chengqian.
"The reason why I changed the venue of the banquet from the Bright Moon Hotel to this mansion today is because this king has something here that I would like to invite everyone to taste!”
"Another old fox!"
The others who were too slow and couldn't snatch it cursed in their hearts and hurriedly echoed,"That's right, we're really lucky that His Highness the Crown Prince can take out such a precious thing!”
"Hey!"
"Well, I wonder if Your Highness can tell me what it is?”
"Hehe, then…then I'm looking forward to it!”Yan Wenxi laughed awkwardly and sat back down.
"Fresh seafood? Fresh seafood that we haven't eaten before? The Han River is not far away, and it connects to the Yangtze River in the south.”An official said in a low voice, somewhat disdainful.
" Alas, although the Crown Prince's political tactics are good, it seems that he has lived in the palace for a long time and doesn't understand the sufferings of the people. He probably thinks that this place is like Chang 'an, where rivers are rare and even fish are precious!”There were also some who pretended to be heartbroken.
Relying on the distance between them and Li Chengqian, the officials all lowered their voices and discussed animatedly. They finally found a little confidence and their minds became active again.
Li Chengqian was only in his twenties. These people had lived for most of their lives, but they were suppressed by Li Chengqian. They were more or less a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
Unfortunately, what they did not know was that as a Leaving Aperture realm cultivator, Li Chengqian's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. He had even specially cast a spell. Although he was far away, he could hear the discussions of these people clearly.
"Alright, let's not delay everyone's time anymore. Serve the dishes!”
The officials looked at each other, but they could not figure out Li Chengqian's intentions.
However, a few more brawny men carried a huge steamer basket. Looking at them, it was actually very difficult for them to carry it, and they felt like they were about to fall.
Without needing Li Chengqian's instructions, the four guards immediately went forward and took the steamer basket. Only then did they stabilize the situation.
"What is this?"
Initially, they were mocking these useless servants in their hearts for not even being able to lift the bamboo steamer. However, when they took it over, the guards realized that this bamboo steamer was really not simple!
If they had not been well-trained, they would have fallen down immediately.
Holding their breaths, they placed the steamer on the table. The four guards felt their hands go numb.
"Open it!" Li Chengqian said indifferently.
