“Aiyah!” he heaved in disbelief
“To be honest, what is so good about starting a war? Instead of belligerence wouldn’t it be better if everyone could live happily in har the population of the Earth is considerably s’s unprecedented interruption ended in a chain of questions pointing at several problement on the collective decisions by the court attendees Everyone resented the unwanted input as it only becaard as said due to Feng Ming’s identity
The men stood silently and vented their displeasure inside
The Regent King defended their actions, answering Feng Ming’s last question
“Whether we are attacked at our border or have our er assassinated, hoe react to these problems is an important matter”
“If Xi Rei sits with our hands folded and unprepared froe will be quickly buried Not only will there be civil unrest ill also lose skilled and talented people ould flee and ally the nodded finding it rather interesting that even in this era skills and talent was appreciated
Moreover, the situation in this world was si states period, people were able to save their necks by changing alliances
The argument escalated as , the situation at the frontier with Tong is more important We should declare ith them first and show them Xi Rei’s power!” an official exclaimed
“The situation we have at the border only pertains to aharassed My secretary I sent as the er was assassinated! At this moment we must declare ith the Country of Li and seek justice!”
“Since this is the case, it would be better to simultaneously declare war on both countries!”
“General Tong, instigating war between two countries is senseless It will only serve to quicken the deterioration of Xi Rei’s fighting powers”
The heated debated continued for a large half of the day and there was still no resolution fro
All they had to deliberate on was to deter or the assassination of their own in Li
Feng Ming listened aloof to their ongoing chattering, the ht to himself how ancient Generals were like a bunch of old fussy women
The Prince cleared his throat in a soft audible o out for a stroll?” he asked quietly, the background of the officials cloaked his request
Feng Ming dared not to be ardless to his authority, no one paid hi Tian was no exception The Regent King was fully engaged with the political dile had his backside planted on his perch for ages, even his spine was yearning to be stretched Seeing no one was paying him any attention, he simply stood up and covertly headed towards the exit
This ’s eyes, who thenthe younger hness think he is going?” he whispered with a hint of annoyance
“We are in the ood boy and sit here quietly don’t givewas chained in, forced to watch on the conversation that didn’t invite him to participate However, this session allowed hi had to carry on his shoulders
The Country of Xi Rei’s problenity His adhts of the contrast between hiain
One could not avoid the fact that, this Prince’s achieve a famous useless nobody Even his own subjects continued to under ritted teeth
Their charade of feigned reverence began to kindle a fire in the botto, where he was offered a mule inside of horse added hts finally accrued into an explosion His face was red with fury as he casted an outburst of his frustration towards his subjects
“Why do I have anything to do with this discussion?” He screa
“I’uys all understand and co where as I a no break from his rant he continued
“You pack ofnoisily over such trivialat?”
“If I was your eht and out of ed General Chu looked gob shness treat war between two countries as aas ready for any rebutting required
His eyes pinned resolutely on the old e a war then so be it, why are you all wasting tinificant than an official killed!”
“Haven’t you guys set up any foreign allegiances as part of your tactics?”
Feng Ming groaned when no one responded
“Co close enen alliances is a vital step! Even the Warring State period was uys! What a bunch stupid idiots!”
The hall went co
Everyone had their eyes glued on His Royal Majesty who had just given a taste of his temper, as if he whipped each official across the face
There was still no reaction to his outburst as they all stood du ruthlessly dragged Feng Ming froth lifted the poor boy into ’s handsome face was chilled as ice, as it leaned closer to the Prince’s, his voice dangerously asked
“What did you just say?” he deood streak of days, escaping the full blunt of Rong wang’s wrath he was blanked upon having the fury released on hiue tied, a knot developed deep in his throat
Feng Ming cursed hi ahis luck
“I said you were all stupid idiots?”
”Before that!”
”Before that?I said, even the Warring State period was uys! What a bunch stupid idiots?”
This was incorrect as well
”No!” Rong wang eyebrows jerked up in annoyance and he growled
“Before that!”
Feng Ming finally ca wanted
“Oh! Are you asking about foreign alliances to defeat eneuessed it” He said relieved as he rapt his head lightly with his hand His body relaxed under the unfriendly hold even daring to wave his limbs freely
“I understand now, each country is actually enwrapped with their own disputes and no one has actually set up any official alliances There’s no tactical systeht, thisStates!”
Feng Ming laughed at his discovery
“For so the agricultural system in Xi Rei is advance It is quite an achievement probably even be a rival theTian didn’t cut off Feng Mingpermitted the Prince to continue his insanity, however instead of anger he was growing elated in his own heart
“Well, Your Majesty, if I could ask you to thoroughly explain to us what you n alliances to defeat ene Tian proer darted towards his own nose, confused with the sudden attention
It was impossible that these people could be easily swayed by their thirst for knowledge, to the point they were even showing hi at me with contempt just moments before?
He whisked his head towards the pack of Generals, it was like if so
All the faces that were looking at the Prince had changed and now they were briht, that in this space-tihly prized by scholars and the military
Every country are that to have complete power over the land under the heavens, apart froth, theories and tactics played the eable on war tactics, it would be difficult to start any ga’s luck that Xi Rei were still underdeveloped in this aspect and he wasn’t going to just easily hand over a thousand years essence of knowledge
Making foreign alliances to defeat close ene to a coroup of powerful men immersed in military and politics, his words were like a crack of thunder awakening their desires
“Your Majesty, Prince!” General Chu broke away as a representative fro Ming with genuine respect!
“Your Highness, concerning “Defeating close ene to say that we should ignoreour closest eneh with reinforcing our nuather e another country? If your plan is like this, then we should soon be ruling across all the lands! Please your Highness, would you enlighten us withhad just barely said a feords, this old fox so misunderstood made the Prince shriek with frustration
“Do not talk nonsense! Taking over the 11 kingdoms is the objective of other countries It is not what our own should do! I wasn’t conspiring with you to dominate the world”
He couldn’t help but feel the need to shi+eld hi chuckled as Feng Ming shrank behind him, a smile etched across his lips as he leaned over to whisper into the Prince’s ear
“Just say what you want to say and to on White Cloud for a whole day”
”Really?” just hearing the beautiful horse’s naed fro Tian with a renewed confidence he indulged in the positive attention
”Hehe…in fact the reason why I have rarely left the Prince’s quarters is because I’ve been investing a lot of tiht, I’s and experiences with you…”

That evening fresh gossip sprinkled around the Palace
His Royal Highness had gain the doting love of Rong wang, whom permitted the Prince to join him in an official court procession and even allowed hiardless of whether they were veterans or young, all the court officials that left the grand hall, had strangely developed a positive new opinion of their beautiful and apparently now ‘talented’ Prince
When the odd couple returned to the Prince’s quarters, Feng Ming lashed out his anger at the King
”Why did you command the Generals and the other attendees not to spread word ofshook his head, “You are the Crowned Prince, your life is constantly in danger If the other countries find out that the Prince is actually quite competent, there’s bound to be countless assassins out for your blood It is wiser to keep you concealed under the guise of inco as you are aware that I arin by the tih his praise
The s Tian want to smoother his lips over the boy’sback, there’s more isn’t there?”
”Of course, I have more information stored insidewang’s seductive lips pulled back into a sneer,
“Is there conditions for this exchange?”
Yes! You have to let me top you once</e and inappropriate
Feng Ming rolled his eyes, and laughed dryly “I need so to keep by my side for self defense, even if it is some weird kind of weapon, or even a pair of rusty handcuffs would suffice”
”For what reason?” Rong wang’s eyes narrowed as he studied the Prince
”Didn’t you say that I’d be endangered, that there are people ant to murderMing had a poor track record of defending hiiven a weapon he ht
The sudden requesta weapon?”
Ming lae the mood with one method
He self volunteered and delivered his deep red lips to the ht patterns
This is ridiculous Feng Ming was growing more accusto to do?
Moreover, each ti would venture deeper into hismuttered under his breath
