105 Conflict Resolved Over A Pot Of Wine I (1/2)
Tang Zi frowned slightly as her body was surrounded by a cold chill. She looked indifferent, and her face was taut the whole time.
”We, Iron-Blooded Troop, submit ourselves only to the empress in our whole lifetime. After the empress's death, it's only natural for the Princess Royal to a.s.sume command over us. Second Princess, please leave now.”
”Tang Zi!” Feng Rushuang's smile ceased. ”Are you sure you want to help a villain do evil? Won't your decision today damage the military's glory and prestige which Empress Nalan had fought for so many years? My concubine-mother is just concerned about the whole nation, but you choose to be loyal to somebody who has committed countless crimes!”
If not because of the troop commander, Tang Zi, who was steady and firm, Feng Rushuang would have succeeded in her attempt to bribe and win the troop members' heart. Then, they would have gotten the troop's acceptance much earlier which they did not get even after holding the Iron-Blooded Token for so many years.
”You shut up!” Ling Yun shouted in anger as her expression changed. ”You are n.o.body to interfere with whatever decisions made by the troop. Don't poke your nose into our business!”
Feng Rushuang sneered and turned to look at the rest of the troop members who were there.
”You can ask these people, how many of them are willing to submit themselves to Feng Ruqing?” She mocked.
Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other without saying anything.
After a moment of silence, someone from the back suddenly spoke. It could be heard clearly in the quiet courtyard.
”Commander, actually what she said is not totally wrong. We are the army of Iron-Blooded Troop who are supposed to fight for our homeland and protect our people. All of us are aware of how the Princess Royal has behaved previously. If she wants us to oppress and bully people, wouldn't it tarnish our reputation?”
Nevertheless, Feng Ruqing had done countless of crimes and misdeeds.
She did bully the weak and oppress poor people.
Due to her status, n.o.body in Liu Yun Kingdom dared to go against Feng Ruqing. Imagine if she had the military troop behind her, who else would be bold enough to resist her command?
