In the Xi Zheng Palace, there seemed to be an inexplicable dragon's power blessing Li Chen's body, making him stand there like a patrolling Emperor of Heaven, and the whole world changed color when he was angry.
Chen Tong seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart beating wildly in his chest. The thumping sound made his whole scalp numb and his face tightened.
With a pop, Chen Tong knelt in the main hall.
"Your Highness, there is indeed someone who has entrusted a lowly position to come and convey a message to Your Highness."
"Say, who." Li Chen's tone became more and more indifferent. There was no emotional ups and downs, no joy or anger, but there was a sense of terror that made Chen Tong feel like a thorn in his back.
It seems like the next second, disaster may be imminent.
"The Long Family is the Long Family of Xishan."
Chen Tong's tone was trembling and panicked unconsciously. He lowered his head and said: "The Long family in Xishan Province can be traced back to the founding of this dynasty. Their ancestors were the capable generals of His Majesty Taizu. Later, they founded the country and were sealed."
As a Marquis of Chengyang, the fiefdom is within the Xishan Province and is hereditary for three generations."
"But even though the Lord was taken back by the court, the Long family has been operating in Xishan. It is unknown how many local officials came from their sect. At its peak, officials sent by the court to take charge of Xishan Province had to visit the Long family first.
Only when everyone approves can the decree be passed smoothly."
"Long Tiande, the head of the Long family, told me about the above words brought by his humble position. At this moment, the Long family envoy is waiting in the capital to be summoned by His Highness."
"The Long family wants to negotiate with me?" Li Chen asked nonchalantly.
Chen Tong immediately replied: "I don't know about Bei Shi. It's just that Long Tiande asked Bei Shi to take the lead and said that His Highness would summon the envoy after hearing this. The envoy will tell His Highness the details."
"Long Family, Long Tiande."
Li Chen murmured.
"You're pretty sure you know what I want, right?"
"Unfortunately......"
Li Chen's eyes fell on Chen Tong and said calmly: "I promoted you and the court gave you a salary, but you became a messenger dog for a local clan. Chen Tong, Chen Tong, you really did not disappoint me.
.”
Chen Tong's face turned pale with fright. He panicked and said: "Your Highness, I thought that your Highness might just be able to use it, so I said these words. I have no other intention. I beg Your Highness to have mercy!"
"I suspect you don't have the guts either."
Li Chen shouted coldly: "Go and get rid of that so-called envoy of the Long family. I don't have time to see him. When the country was founded, it was just a low-level marquis named Chengyang Marquis. It was hereditary for three generations and there was no replacement for the so-called Long family.
After operating in Xishan for two or three hundred years, you dare to treat yourself as a clan member to negotiate terms with me? And you still send an envoy here in a pretentious manner just to let me see him?"
"Let him go back and dig deeper. Three hundred years ago, his ancestor had to kneel down when he saw me. Today, three hundred years later, this Great Qin is still Great Qin. The royal family is the Li family, not his Long family. If you want to see me, you can
, let Long Tiande come by himself, hand in the greeting note outside the east palace gate and explain the reason according to the procedure, and wait respectfully. If I want to see him, I can see him, if I don’t want to see him, just get out."
Chen Tong's face was pale and frightened. When he heard this, he didn't even dare to fart. He knocked his head on the ground and said: "I understand, I understand."
"Get out!"
Li Chen's scolding made Chen Tong run away in a hurry like a lost dog.
After leaving the Xi Zheng Palace, Chen Tong was aroused by the cold wind outside, and was shocked to realize that his body was extremely buoyant, as if he had just returned from the gate of hell.
My body, soaked in cold sweat, shivered when the cold wind blew.
This has never happened to him since he started practicing martial arts at the age of eight and entered Xiaocheng at the age of twelve, even if he practiced martial arts shirtless in winter.
But today I was frightened.
However, Chen Tong couldn't figure out why His Highness the Crown Prince was so angry.
