Chapter 107 - Conflict Resolved Over A Pot of Wine III (2/2)
If Feng Ruqing had this token in hand, none of the troop member could go against her command as it represented the empress herself. His Majesty would never allow anyone to disrespect Feng Ruqing!
Thus, even though the Iron-Blooded Troop members did not submit themselves to Feng Ruqing, they could not disobey her order. This was what they most afraid of at the moment.
However, they did not expect her to break the token… She destroyed it without any hesitation.
“Your Royal Highness…” Tang Zi stared at Feng Ruqing in shock. “Are you aware of the consequence behind your action right now?”
Feng Ruqing turned to Tang Zi and smiled back. “Of course, I do. Would you not obey my command if I don’t have this Iron-Blooded Token anymore?”
“No, we won’t do that…” Tang Zi quickly shook her head to show her loyalty.
“It’s fine then. The Iron-Blooded Token does not have not many functions anyway. It only attracts those who eye it with bad intention. What I want is not the token, but your genuine loyalty. I want all of you to submit yourselves to me willingly.” Feng Ruqing a.s.sured her with a gentle smile, “However, I promise that I will never stain the Iron-Blooded Troop’s reputation and tarnish my imperial mother’s reputation! I will only make our troop stronger and lead everyone into glory and more success!”
Tang Zi felt warmed and touched. Finally, this day had come. She had been waiting for this day for too long. She was glad that she managed to witness this day…
“I believe in you.”
This time, she was willing to trust her words again, just because of her motivating words just now!
Tang Zi kneeled down on one knee, held her sword with both hands and said loudly, “The Commander of the Iron-Blooded Troop, Tang Zi, pays respect to Master.”
“The Vice Commander of the Iron-Blooded Troop, Ling Yun, pays respect to Master!”
“Pay respect to Master!”
As the sun set in the west, the high-spirited and dignified sound echoed under the sky continuously without a break.
Feng Rushuang’s face went pale. She stared at Feng Ruqing with intense hatred. She glanced at Feng Ruqing coldly then turned and walked toward the door.
