Although the Xiluo man was tall, Wei Tengfei was not smaller than Prince Haas. Even in terms of martial arts, he could easily knock down the pink-faced skinny man.
However, things were not that simple.
The people from the Xiluo had instigated them to duel, they definitely did not plan for their own prince to lose, so if they lost, would beat them up.
Thousands of Xiluo soldiers were stationed at the edge of the sea. Although the current situation was such that the Chuanyu’s Army could easily take care of them, now was definitely not the time to create conflict.
The emperor needed time to build his own warship and train his own navy. He didn't need Wei Tengfei to win a duel, what he needed more was time.
The empress had thought of many ways to deal with this, but none of them worked, making her extremely passive.
The bonfire party had temporarily dispersed and an appointment was made for tomorrow at noon. Wei Tengfei and Prince Haas would be fighting by the beach, but the victor or loser was not tomorrow's duel, but tonight's decision by the Emperor.
In the camp, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi who was under house arrest roared at his son, scolding him for calling him unfaithful and unfilial, and scolding him for wanting his Bi Family to become an eternal sinner in the history of Daqi.
However, Bi Zhenye did not mind, and coldly said to his father: "Whatever you want to curse, just curse. It will be difficult for us father and son to meet again in the future. There is something I forgot to tell you. Before I left, I received my grandmother's promise to buy a house here for your old age. "
Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was dumbstruck, and scolded angrily: "Evil creature, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Bi Zhenye said: "Father, you better take care of yourself. Otherwise, I won't even prepare a house for you. When you return to the capital, I will take away all the servants with me. I will not leave a single cent for you. "Stay by this fertile beach and enjoy your old age. If you want to return to the capital, use your own legs if you have the ability to."
"Bastard!" Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi grabbed his son's sleeves, "You dare!"
"Mother is in Siping Mansion exile, come to the seaside to recuperate, it is very suitable. The weather here is warm, it is good for your body." Bi Zhenye looked at his father indifferently, "Now, please let go."
The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi released his hand, but immediately slapped over, but Bi Zhenye was already prepared. He blocked his father's hand and pushed him away: "You're old, take it easy."
After Bi Zhenye finished speaking, he turned around and left. One could hear his father calling him a evil being and calling him a beast, all the servants in front of the door trembled as they looked at the young master. He said in a cold voice, "It is the emperor's will for father to rest well, consider what you should do."
"Yes …" Everyone agreed, and another person asked in concern, "Young Master, what will happen to the Miss?"
Bi Zhenye looked at the emperor's tent, where lights were shining, he clenched his fists and said: "The heavens will not treat Hanxi unfairly."
At that moment, Wei Tengfei had already returned to his own tent, and was waiting for news from the Emperor.
However, he had already decided that no matter what decision the Emperor made, he would follow his own wishes and go to the duel tomorrow. It was not only for Hanxi, but also for the Daqi, for the hundreds of thousands of brothers under his command. It would be for the best if he could match the emperor's thoughts.
General, Ling Chaofeng requests an audience. The guard outside reported.
Wei Tengfei stood up and walked to the door, lifting up the curtain, he saw Ling Chaofeng standing there, and laughed: "Come in."
He asked: "Did Xiaowan go to accompany Hanxi?"
Ling Chaofeng replied: "Yes, please be at ease, Xiaowan will take good care of Miss Bi."
Wei Tengfei said, "It's great to have Xiaowan around. Chao Feng, you are blessed to have married such a good wife. "
Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Because of this, no matter what unforeseen event I face in the future, I will be able to handle it calmly. After all, I have already obtained the best in the world."
Wei Tengfei laughed and said that Ling Chaofeng was not modest at all, but no matter how good the Xiaowan was, in his eyes, it was not as good as Hanxi at all.
The relationship between a man and a woman was truly marvelous. Once one fell in love, the world before one's eyes would also become completely different.
He did not like women's tears, nor did he love people who were too weak. However, all of Hanxi's shortcomings had now become existences that made him feel tender and loving towards them.
"The Emperor's side doesn't seem to have made any decisions yet." Ling Chaofeng said, "The emperor must be in a very difficult situation. He could have sent Prince Haas away successfully, but he didn't expect that conflict still couldn't be avoided."
Wei Tengfei said with a cold expression, "I will bear the consequences of the disaster that I have caused myself. Even if there is a conflict with the Xiluo, as long as the emperor still trusts me and leaves me by the coast, I will definitely use the fastest speed to build a powerful water master for him."
He turned his mind, looked at Ling Chaofeng, and asked: "Do you want to advise me of something?"
However, Ling Chaofeng said: "Xiaowan entrusted me to tell the general that he must win Hanxi back. What's so special about Xiluo?
Wei Tengfei laughed and asked: "Xiaowan said so?"
Ling Chaofeng cupped his fists and said: "General, we regard peace as the most precious thing, in the eyes of the bystanders, we might become cowards. Xiluo were powerful countries, they fought the weak whenever they saw strong warriors. If they were to covet my Daqi, there will be a war sooner or later. If so, General Wei, please let them properly understand who the overlord of this continent is. "
Wei Tengfei's heart was in turmoil, at a time like this, even if there was only one person standing by his side, it would still be worth it.
It was undeniable that he was very impulsive and reckless tonight's matter, bringing trouble to everyone. Perhaps even his younger sister wouldn't forgive him for understanding him. However, even if one did not care about their love for each other and instead wanted to sacrifice a weak girl to build a good relationship with a country thousands of miles away, they were too useless.
"Tell Xiaowan to wait for my wedding wine." Wei Tengfei's aura surged, and he patted Ling Chaofeng's shoulders, "Good brother!"
When Ling Chaofeng walked out of the general's tent, the lights inside the emperor's tent were gradually extinguished. He smiled faintly, the young emperor must have also made a decision, Ling Chaofeng believed that his Daqi would become stronger and stronger without a doubt.
On the other side, Hanxi and Xiaowan were lying on the bed. It was very warm here, and at night, they only needed to cover their stomachs with a thin layer of the muslin.
Xiaowan said that she never thought that winter would be so warm.
Hanxi asked Xiaowan if she had been to the north before. She said that it was a place even north of the capital. There, the summer was very cool. The aristocratic families in the capital would head north every summer to enjoy the scorching heat.
"But as far south as you go, when you come back and spend all your time on the road, all you can do is roast fire and imagine how you're going to spend the winter in the warm south." Hanxi laughed, "This is also my first time here, my first time eating fruits here, it's so sweet."
"I want to bring some to my family, to give my family's Little Pei, my aunt's Uncle Biao, and Susu and the others a taste." The Xiaowan said.
"Time to rot on the road." Hanxi said, "Why don't you bring them along to eat here."
"It's getting colder as we head north. It won't rot, right?" Xiaowan calculated the time she spent on the way here, but she was in such a rush that her bones were about to break. Even if the weather was cold enough, the fruit would not be able to withstand the bumpiness, but if she walked slowly, the fruit would probably rot.
The two of them chatted for a long time. However, they did not mention a single word about tomorrow's duel.
Until the moment when the Xiaowan was sleepy and heard Hanxi say, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to follow the General Wei. Even if I die, I won't go to the Xiluo."
Xiaowan acknowledged, but because she was too tired, she fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, the weather was clear and the sun was shining so brightly that it was hard to open one's eyes. As expected of the emperor, he allowed Hanxi to spectate the battle. After all, this was related to her entire life.
Wei Tengfei, dressed in military attire, arrived in front of the tent. The first person who walked out was her sister Siyan, but she didn't seriously make a face at him, and swaggered away with Palace Maid.
The people following her were all stunned, but the Empress was the Empress after all. They could only pretend that they hadn't seen her.
In next to no time, the Emperor came out.
stood in front of Wei Tengfei and placed a hand on his shoulder, then said: "General, no matter what decision you make, I will support you fully."
Wei Tengfei was stunned, the Emperor actually did not ask him to lose the duel to seek peace.
He had always thought that even though the new ruler had a heavenly aura, he was not as domineering as the new emperor. If the new emperor were to meet with this matter, who knows how long it would take for him to kill all the thousands of Xiluo soldiers by the sea, but the new ruler's diplomacy was always gentle …
Wei Tengfei felt extremely guilty, regretting that he had underestimated the young emperor.
"This official obeys the decree!" Wei Tengfei cupped his fists and acknowledged the order.
