Chapter 282 Sharp words(1/2)
"The king said that I disturbed the engagement ceremony. So, let me ask the king, has the so-called engagement been approved by His Highness the Princess?"
Ye Feng's eyes flashed with sharpness and he spoke calmly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone had a look of extreme horror on their faces. They thought that Ye Feng was so bold that he even dared to question His Majesty the King. He was simply risking his life!
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Feng's words, the king's face instantly darkened and he said, "Are you questioning this king?"
"Don't dare."
Ye Feng still stood upright, and although his words were polite, they were still a little less respectful.
"Xinyi is my king's daughter, and her life-long affairs will naturally be decided by me!"
The king said coldly, with dignity in his voice.
"It is natural for His Majesty the King to choose a husband for his daughter, but he must also consider the feelings of His Royal Highness the Princess. If his daughter's happiness is ruined due to his own reasons, such a father has no right to dictate anything to his daughter.
!”
Ye Feng continued to speak, his words became more and more bold, and everyone who listened was frightened. Ye Feng was really getting more and more bold, so offending the king was like a death sentence!
Even Zhao Xinyi's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement, as if she had never expected Ye Feng to speak so boldly.
"Bold maniacs who dare to disrespect my father shall be punished!"
The eldest prince, Zhao Yang, spoke with cold eyes. Immediately, many powerful men in the court stood up from their seats with no concealed murderous intent. They wanted to kill Ye Feng on the spot who dared to offend the king.
"etc."
Before these people could take action, they heard the king's voice coming over, causing everyone's eyes to flicker, not knowing what the king meant.
"I would really like to hear why he comments on this king like this?"
A sharp edge flashed in the king's vicissitudes of life, and then he turned his attention to Ye Feng and said: "I will give you a chance, keep talking!"
"This guy must never say anything offensive to my father."
Zhao Xinyi's Qiao face showed a bit of worry, and she said secretly. She was afraid that Ye Feng would offend the king with his words and be angered by the king.
"There is nothing wrong with the king choosing a husband for His Highness the Princess. However, is it a bit blind for the King to be so reckless in getting engaged to His Highness the Princess?"
Ye Feng spoke calmly, with a calm expression on his face.
"How do you say this?"
The king asked, not only did he not get angry, but he became much calmer. He wanted to see what this young man who had won the first place in the Imperial List could say.
"As the father of Her Highness the Princess, the king should consider the happiness of Her Highness the Princess instead of simply thinking about resolving the crisis through marriage. As the prince of the Wei Kingdom, Wei Qitian is uneducated and has a reputation as a playboy. Who knows in the entire Wei Kingdom?
Marrying Her Royal Highness the Princess to such a person, is this what a father should do?"
Ye Feng continued to speak in a loud voice. Recalling Zhao Xinyi's bleak back that day, Ye Feng knew that no matter what price he paid, he would stop the marriage between Wei and Zhao.
That's why his words were so sharp at this moment.
"Um?"
Ye Feng's words once again made the king frown, and he seemed very unhappy. He had been in this position for many years, when had he been questioned like this.
But what Ye Feng said is very reasonable. If it were not for the intimidation of the Wei royal family, the king would not be willing to marry Zhao Xinyi to Wei Qitian.
"Ye Feng, you are so brave. How can you offend the majesty of the king?"
The eldest prince Zhao Yang's pupils flashed with cold light, and then he raised his hands to the king above him and said: "Father, this son is arrogant and does not even take my royal family in his eyes. My son suggested that he should be taken care of immediately."
I will put you to death as a warning to others!"
Although the king was irritated by Ye Feng, he still waved his hand to the eldest prince Zhao Yang, signaling him to stop, and said to Ye Feng: "Do you know that if you talk to the king like this, I have a thousand reasons to
You execute me! Aren't you afraid of death?"
Ye Feng's eyes flickered and he said: "Of course I believe it, but there are some things I must say. What does the survival of the world have to do with me? As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess is happy."
"I, the king, really want to know your opinion, please continue."
The king raised his brows, as if he heard some of the meaning of Ye Feng's words. He looked at Zhao Xinyi next to him who looked worried, and instantly understood something, and he had some understanding of Ye Feng's actions today.
After all, he was young and experienced, and had experienced vigorous love. From the way Zhao Xinyi looked at Ye Feng, the king could see Zhao Xinyi's deep attachment to Ye Feng. This made him angry towards Ye Feng.
It has also been reduced a lot.
"I believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most beautiful woman in the Qingyun Region, so naturally she must be the most outstanding young hero in Qingyun. If Wei Qitian wants to get engaged to the princess, he must prove himself first."
Ye Feng said lightly.
Everyone's eyes flickered, with different expressions on their faces. It was not clear what Ye Feng wanted to say.
"How do you need to prove it? Let me tell you."
The king asked, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
"The State of Zhao can select the best consort for Her Highness the Princess through a competition to recruit a bride. At that time, all young outstanding figures under twenty-five years old in the Qingyun Region can be notified to come and participate. Everyone has an equal opportunity. If Wei Qitian has the ability,
, you can prove yourself in the competition to recruit a bride, instead of using the power of the Wei State to crush the Zhao State and forcefully complete the marriage. Presumably, the Wei State, as the central country of the Qingyun Region, does not want the prince of his country to be so worthless."
Ye Feng continued, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were clear and coherent.
"Ye Feng, you'd better stop confusing people and people with your monstrous words!"
After listening to Ye Feng's words, Wei Qitian could no longer calm down. He was very clear about his own strength. If he really engaged in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride as Ye Feng said, then Zhao Xinyi would probably fall into the hands of others. How could he not be anxious?
?
"Real gold is not afraid of fire, what's the matter? Are you, the prince of the Wei Kingdom, so unsure of your own strength? It seems that you are indeed a straw bag. If you are really a straw bag, how can you have the qualifications to compete with the princess of the Zhao Kingdom?
Your Highness?"
Ye Feng looked at Wei Qitian and said sarcastically.
"Princess Xinyi and I are a perfect match, how can we allow you to talk nonsense again?"
Wei Qitian said coldly to Ye Feng, gradually feeling that something was wrong.
"What? If you are afraid, you will be eliminated automatically. As the prince of Wei, you don't even have this courage. How embarrassing is it?"
Ye Feng looked at Wei Qitian jokingly and said sarcastically.
Although Wei Qitian was not confident in his own strength, he was humiliated and provoked by Ye Feng in public. If he backed down, the entire Wei State would be completely embarrassed by him.
Even though he really didn't want to see his side gradually falling into passivity, with Ye Feng leading the way, but at this moment, he had to get stuck in it.
Because if he disagrees with Ye Feng's opinion, it will be equivalent to retreating. In that case, Wei Qitian will not only lose his own face, but also the face of the entire Wei State.
After thinking about it in many aspects, Wei Qitian said this: "Who said I'm afraid? No matter what method I use, it can't change my relationship with Princess Xinyi. Princess Xinyi is destined to be my Wei Qitian's woman."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed a look of astonishment. Ye Feng's words were so sharp that Wei Qitian had no choice but to jump in even though he knew it was not good for him.
This is the most advanced state of language art. Thinking that Ye Feng is not only talented in martial arts, but also powerful in personal speech, Wei Qitian is completely toyed with and encouraged.
At this moment, even those who had a grudge against Ye Feng had to start to admire and wait. At the same time, they despised Wei Qitian, thinking that the other party was indeed a fool.
Seeing Ye Feng say such sharp words, the King of Zhao had to nod secretly in his heart and looked at Ye Feng with a bit of approval.
Now that Wei Qitian himself agrees with Zhao Guo to compete for Zhao Xinyi's bride, then even if the Wei royal family knows about this, there is no reason to anger Zhao Guo.
Invisibly, Ye Feng helped Zhao Guo resolve a crisis, and asked Zhao Xinyi to select the best genius in the Qingyun Region to become the consort through a martial arts competition. In this case, Zhao Xinyi would not be treated badly. It was really powerful to have the best of both worlds.
.
"good!"
The first time Wei Qitian said he agreed to the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, Ye Feng hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "As expected of the prince of the Wei Kingdom, relying on one's own strength to achieve everything is truly a manly move!"
Ye Feng gave Wei Qitian a big compliment, but on this occasion, it sounded sarcastic.
This made Wei Qitian look ugly. At this moment, everyone had witnessed what he had just said, and it was impossible to regret it.
At this point, Wei Qitian's hatred for Ye Feng has risen to the point where it cannot be resolved. Without Ye Feng, how would he have agreed to some bullshit competition to recruit a bride? The beauty would still be there.
"Nephew Wei Xian, do you have any objection to Ye Feng's proposal of a martial arts contest to recruit a bride?"
The king took a deep look at Ye Feng and confirmed to Wei Qitian.
"No objection!"
Wei Qitian gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Since Nephew Wei Xian has no objections, the matter of contesting for marriage has been decided."
The king made the decision immediately. Naturally, he also hoped that his daughter could have a better home. Now it seems that martial arts competition is indeed a good way to recruit relatives.
"Ye Feng, look, when is the appropriate time limit for this martial arts competition?"
The king's eyes fell on Ye Feng again, and his words seemed to be asking for Ye Feng's opinion. This made many people present have sharp eyes. They never thought that today's engagement ceremony would be like this.
"Before the competition to recruit a bride, the royal family must make a lot of preparations, and at the same time, the news must be spread throughout the Qingyun Territory. This requires a process. Therefore, I believe that it is most appropriate to hold the competition to recruit a bride on today next month.
"
Ye Feng said calmly, one month is the longest time he can get for himself. After one month, he must improve his strength to the point where he can compete with the best geniuses under the age of 25 in the entire Qingyun Domain.
Only when he reaches a certain level can he have the opportunity to win the first place in the competition to recruit a bride and rescue Zhao Xinyi.
After listening to Ye Feng's series of words, Zhao Xinyi's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance, and her pupils showed approval.
