Chapter 4: Go Thrash Yourself
Many of the nobles were present because they had accompanied the duke of Tianshui to fuelfamily down a notch
But at this moment, ould dare speak up?
If someone stood up for the duke of Tianshui, that wouldinstead, that would mean they didn’t want the princess to recover
It was at this moment that fatty Xuan mind connected the dots as well He was always so a ruckus and im your mouth off about how if you’re ranked number two for fealty and valor out of all the nobles, then no one else would dare claim number one Now that the moment to prove your loyalty has arrived, youon here?”
“Duke of Tianshui, you waxed eloquent about executing the entire Jiang family clan earlier Now, no such demands have beenyourself three ti Chen would definitely not let this opportunity pass him by; he tutted as he took another jab at an already downed enemy, “It looks like this so-called fealty and valor that is ranked first under the heavens is just a joke that the duke of Tianshui trotted out to amuse others Best not to put too inally coht the tables would turn on hiet of everyone’s attacks instead?
However, the duke of Tianshui was an old hat at these political gaain He spoke with a self righteous air, “This old duke would not even furrow his brow if his Majesty commanded s If it would benefit our country and holy help shoulder part of His Majesty’s burden Little Chen’er, I could easily slap myself three times and disperse soame with us, then what?”
Indeed, if this brat was just joking, then he’d be !
Jiang Chen’s voice grew colder, “Duke of Tianshui, you can insult ainst the Gods! Your Majesty, this ravely out of turn The Gods are enraged and I ahness’ sickness…”
Eastern Lu was appalled by these words and inwardly furious You da your heels for? If you’re that loyal and patriotic, then slap yourself three times already! Make it easy for yourself and find a way out Must I really co who bullies his subjects?
As his thoughts traveled down this path, Eastern Lu grew irate and cocked his eyebrow The duke of Tianshui was an expert at observing expressions and had spentwas truly incensed and without any warning, hastily slapped hiht times
Each slap was heavy handed and resonant, he knew that the harder he slapped hier
His face began to swell up and al
After that round of slaps, all eyes focused on Jiang Chen again
Jiang Chen said unhurriedly, “You were told to slap yourself three tiht tiruntled with the will of the Gods? Or disloyal to his Majesty? Ah, forget it You will be grudgingly forgiven this one tih he indicated that he would pursue the matter no further, the same couldn’t be said for the duke of Tianshui’s friends They could only sit idly by and watch while the duke of Tianshui slapped hier contain theht to stand up for hiht?
A fellow i to keep that act up? The duke of Tianshui has already slapped hi to your list of crimes if you can’t offer a full explanation”
“Yes, if you can’t say anything then you would bethe country’s nobles The entire Jiang family clan should be executed in that case”
These felloere definitely cut from the sa so Chen gave a lazy yawn and said carelessly, “Your Majesty, the ly sacredan entire fa the princess’ health if they enrage the Gods? Do they want their fa Chen took a few steps forward after he’d finished and and stood in front of the crowd of old fellows, lecturing theer
“All of you ht about the princess’ illness?”
“What has the holy task of curing Her Highness become in your eyes? A tool hich to persecute political enemies and oppress the kindhearted?”
“Duke of Tianshui, you keep calling for the execution of the entire Jiang fareat fortune to survive and was instead truly caned to death, then how could I have carried thisthe princess’ sickness to His Majesty? Is your so-called loyalty nothingthe princess’ life?”
“You’re awesome, you’re powerful, yet which one of you can step forward and tell hness? You don’t have the ability to do so but envy those who can, and even forbid e from the Gods? And at the heart of it, I only received this divine vision after being nearly caned to death Was this easy for me? What if the Gods are infuriated and thus depart, can you bear the responsibility?”
“I have one final question for you, what if the Gods are truly angered and require the execution of your fahness? You speak of fealty and valor, would you be willing to erase your family clans in order to ease soave voice to a variety of frustrations and took great pleasure in these questions that descended like a barrage of arrows He used this excuse to wax eloquent and hovered stiflingly over these nobles like black clouds over a city They were at a loss for words and could only stare in disbelief!
Particularly that last question, that one caused each of their expression to drastically shi+ft and shudder in horror and fright
They had originally co family and kick a defeated enemy when it was down But now, Tianshui’s supporters couldn’t find the courage to even if they tried
If this brat really used the will of the Gods as an excuse to convince His Majesty to execute their fa His Majesty’s unconditional love for the princess, it was a legitiht as he looked at the faces pale with terror around hi to heckle these uys
Especially since these old geezers actually thought they were soe
“Alright, alright Young duke Jiang you’ve said your piece, and those at fault have punished themselves The real issue at stake here is the matter of the princess’ illness”
It was at this moment that a neutral third party stepped forward and s, neutral bystanders were only along for the ride and even less worried about the situation getting out of hand But things heating up ’s heart was very anxious indeed
“The princess’ illness?” Jiang Chen paused in surprise “Who said the princess is sick? Didn’t I say earlier that the princess isn’t sick?”
