BXBX NOVEL Chapter Volume 15 3.2
If they were to signa peace treaty between the countries, in the future, they will not be able tosimply back out on their promises.
This was Feng Ming’sfirst time being in a situation where he had to make such an important decisionthat would affect so many people. In addition, he was also concerned ofoffending Dan Lin’s prince.
If there is anyloophole that Dan Lin can exploit, Rong Tian would, even if he is not willing,comply with their demands in order to protect Feng Ming’s dignity. If he wereto cause trouble for Rong Tian, it would be incredibly disheartening.
Wanting the XiaoFamily to supply materials? This is a trivial matter.
Rong Hu concentratedon every detail of the treaty and concluded, “This subordinate thinks that thisis a legitimate peace treaty.”
Signing the treatywill not only profit Dan Lin, even Xi Lei and the Xiao Family will gainbenefits.
“Then I’ll sign it!”
“Wait a minute.” RongHu continued to examine the documents. He had a feeling that something wasamiss. Pointing at one of the clauses, he asked, “Right here it says that, ‘forthe sake of sincerity and security, each side will dispatch a long-termemissary.’ What does it mean by the candidate ‘must have certain skills andcharacteristics?’”
Kong Liu understoodwhat he was concerned about. With composure, he answered, “The emissary willnaturally not be someone with a lot of power and influence like Duke Ming or XiLei’s king. As long as the emissary is one of your subordinates, a simplehigh-ranking military officer who can navigate Dan Lin’s strait will do. Andsince the sea is a harsh place, it is better if he is young and has a decentamount of physical strength. It would also be a bonus if he is good at fightingwith swords.”
Both Feng Ming andRong thought the same thing at once…
Aren’t they just asking for Zi Yan?
Someone whounderstands and can travel the strait of Dan Lin, who is under Rong Tian’sleadership, there could only be him.
Oh! I almost forgot to ask He Di.
“There’s something Iwant to ask your Highness.”
“Please ask.”
“You see, I have asubordinate named Zi Yan…”
Hearing the namecaused sparks to fly in He Di’s mind for a while. He unexpectedly had a lapse inconcentration momentarily as he listened to Feng Ming’s next words. “Recently,Zi Yan left for Tong Kingdom’s seaside to investigate Dan Lin’s piratesituation. Has Prince heard of any news regarding my subordinate?”
He Di tried to calmdown his heart that was throbbing like mad and attempted to regulate hisbreath. He was anything but calm, but outwardly, his face remained entirelyindifferent. “Zi Yan? This name sounds familiar. En, I am sure I have heard ofhim.”
Feng Ming eagerlyasked, “Have you heard any news of him, Prince?”
“I heard he and theDan Lin pirates had a confrontation where he managed to escape. I believe heshould be fine?”
He Di’s words weresaid in a casual manner, purposely giving the impression that he justremembered bits of info. He continues to talk to Feng Ming,
“It appears thisperson is rather familiar with Dan Lin’s straits. Who would have thought he wasone of Duke Ming’s subordinates? I say, the emissary we need should be exactlylike this Zi Yan, someone who is familiar with the waters of our territory. Imight as well request him to be the emissary, how about it?”
TN : He Di is so cunning, right! Too bad for Zi Yan but all fair in love..ha ha..
