Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Volume 5 - Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7

"What are you to guarantee about Yong Yin’s affairs?" Rong Tian glanced over at Lie Er who is kneeling on the ground, his cold gaze made Feng Ming worried. Feng Ming was about to talk on behalf of Lie Er, but was found out by Rong Tian, he coldly wave his hand: "Feng Ming, follow me."

They end up moving to another room to talk. “It seems like you are still intimidated.” Rong Tian tried to explain: “The whole picture seems to be stabilized, but all the other countries are beginning to take action. The balance between Li Kingdom and Xi Lei is broken and the opportunity of becoming a unified ruler has appeared. Ever since Miao Guang arrived here is already the start of an approaching storm.”

Feng Ming asked: “What does this have to do with Lie Er?”

Rong Tian sat down on a chair and pulled Feng Ming into his arms, nibbling at his ears he whispered: “Duke Ming was in contact with the evil Miao Guang, so let me check if everything is alright...Aiya! That hurts!...” Rong Tian grimaced and rubbed the area that Feng Ming had punched him, then admitted defeat and explained: “The issue with Lie Er is not simple. Being the best potential spy would definitely need to be in the place that is needed the most.”

"You want Lie Er to return to Yong Yin to continue serving?...Then just straightforwardly say so... making me worried."

"You will not understand. The skill of a King is to know how to use their people, moreover to gain the level of excellence, making those who are wrong have to willingly admit defeat."

They kissed deeply and then Feng Ming asked Rong Tian to continue. “If I want to be the ultimate ruler, there’s no other place better than to start at Yong Yin. Yong Yin has three princes, the crown prince is the most intelligent man with broad vision.”

"Their crown prince has a deep connection with Lie Er, so Lie Er would obviously be the best choice to manage him." Feng Ming begins to place himself in the other person’s shoes and deliberate: "But it seems like Lie Er has feelings for that crown prince. If we were to tell Lie Er to hurt him that would be too cruel."

Rong Tian satisfied with embracing Feng Ming, he smiled and said: “Today I will teach you how

to use people.” He glanced over at the window, “We have been in here for quite some time, maybe enough for Lie Er to lose his mind.” He stood up and murmured into Feng Ming’s ear: “Remember well, when we walk out your face have to darken, the more serious the look the better.”

They walked outside and everyone was kneeling on the ground and didn’t dare to look up even though they heard footsteps approaching. Rong Tian sat down and took a sip of tea. He glanced over at all of them and stopped at Lie Er who is sweating profusely: “Lie Er, stand up.”

Lie Er didn’t dare to stand up and start saying that he’s wrong so the Great King should punish

him.

Rong Tian calmly asked: “What did you do wrong?”

"It’s because Lie Er believed that he is arrogant and important and dare to meddle into national affairs. Your servant can’t possibly Yong Yin." Lie Er flopped over onto the ground. He didn’t dare to glance up at Rong Tian who still haven’t said a word, his heart continued to beat faster without stopping. Lie Er was so scared to the point of crying, his voice trembled as he spoke: "Lie Er deserves death, already know that the situation is easy, but I still continue to exchange letters with Crown Prince of Yong Yin. Lie Er...Lie Er has betrayed the Great King. Please grant me punishment."

Feng Ming couldn’t stand seeing all of his people kneeling like that and wanted to tell them that Rong Tian was just scaring them, but he couldn’t since no one dare to look up.

Rong Tian continued to ask in a sweet manner: “Lie Er has a change of heart already?”

"Lie Er deserves death...Lie Er will not see him ever again, will never send letters to him again..." While talking, his tears fell to the ground and scattered into pieces.

Rong Tian helped Lie Er up, he looked into the red eyes of Lie Er who was still biting his lips to stop himself from crying. Rong Tian uses his sleeves to wipe Lie Er’s tears and sighed: “What’s there to cry so ugly? Ever since you followed me until now, this is the first time I see you cry this much. Meeting someone you love and having a change of heart is a common thing. That isn’t something to blame you.” While talking, Rong Tian glanced over at wide eyed Feng Ming,

curved his lips to form a smile of happiness.

Lie Er can’t believe Rong Tian cared about this much, he was emotional that tears continued to flow downward. Lie Er kneel down: “Your Majesty, Lie Er...Lie Er request that Your Majesty forgive my crimes...” He knows that he love Crown Prince of Yong Yin, a person who will be a rival with Rong Tian, is something that is extremely wrong.

Rong Tian smile, lightly shook his head and said: “You don’t need to ask me to forgive you. There will be a time when it will be hard for me to avoid doing a wrongful deed towards you. Lie Er, why do you have to make it difficult for me?”

He then ordered everyone to stand up. Feng Ming silently thinks that he needs to learn Rong

Tian’s method of scaring his people so they can also obediently listen to him.

"Besides Feng Ming, no one had made me be in a difficult position like this." Rong Tian frowned: "Yong Yin is next to Xi Lei. If I want to be the ultimate ruler, Yong Yin has to be the first place to hit. Could it be that in fact one day, I have to personally get rid of the most important person towards you?"

Hearing that, Lie Er’s face was paler. Ever since he was little he had followed Rong Tian and understood the skills and ambition of him. Crown Prince of Yong Yin is not an ordinary person, but would not win against Rong Tian. Lie Er asked softly: “Your Majesty, you can’t spare his

life?”

Rong Tian sighed: “It isn’t that I can’t spare his life, but more of I cannot spare the life of a defeated King. If a King is still alive, his people still have hope of resistance and recovery. In order lessen the amount of casualties, the only way is to take the life of that King.”

Feng Ming tried to comfort Lie Er and reasoned with Rong Tian: “Lie Er is a trusted bodyguard who you gave me. His happiness is also my happiness, no matter what you cannot destroy that.” He coldly looked at Rong Tian and asked: “Tell us, if the Crown Prince of Yong Yin doesn’t become king, after conquering Yong Yin, how will you deal with him?”

"As long as he doesn’t become King, the rest of the royalty will be spare and keep their status, however they will have to be loyal to me."

”Well, isn’t that possible?” Feng Ming looked at Lie Er, softly smiled: “Becoming a King will only lead to death, better to become a rich royalty with everything. Lie Er, you can still choose your lover.”

Lie Er seemed to have a bit of hope and suddenly understood. He kneel down at Rong Tian and loudly said: “Your Majesty please allow Lie Er to go to Yong Yin. Second and Third Prince of Yong Yin have always wanted the title of Crown Prince. As long as Lie Er uses a few methods, I will definitely make them fall from above, causing chaos within Yong Yin.”

Rong Tian kindly remind: “Second and Third Prince are not Crown Prince, they are not enough to cause chaos for Yong Yin.”

"Your Majesty please rest assure. Before that, Lie Er will make Crown Prince of Yong Yin create several mistakes, enough for the King of Yong Yin to lose his affection and will dethrone him. As long as King of Yong Yin ordered for another Crown Prince, the opportunity for second and third prince to create chaos will come."

"Excellent. It’s no wonder that you have followed me from little till now." Rong Tian’s laughter echoed to the outside. Once finished, he held onto Lie Er’s shoulders, intimately said: "If in the future, he dares to have a change a heart, I will in place of you teach him a lesson." Before Lie Er can say anything else, Rong Tian continued: "Because you have exchanged letters with the Yong Yin Crown Prince, you have committed a treason against me, from here on out you are

evicted from this kingdom. In the future you have to wholeheartedly think for yourself, no need

to take action in response to me. Oh, you have to enjoy your days of freedom from now on." "Your Majesty..."

"Remember, you have to prevent him from being involved with politics, travel a bit, enjoy a bit. The further you are away from kingship will be the safest." Rong Tian softly said: "Don’t cry. You have to take care of yourself. Go, go."

In front a bunch of guards, Rong Tian coldly stated: “Today this person dare lie to me about exchanging news to people of Yong Yin, who can guarantee in the future he will also send news to Li Kingdom. I don’t need this type of person (with three feelings two thoughts) beside me.”

He asked: “Where’s Tong Ling?”

General Tong was patrolling in the back area and when he heard movement he thought

something happened therefore rushed toward and answered.

"From today onward, Lie Er will be a commoner, no longer have the rights to enter the palace. Send this order to all officials, no one is allowed to recruit him."

Lie Er moaned: “Your Majesty...” His puffy eyes continued to have tears falling down.

Feng Ming and the rest knew that Lie Er was grateful to Rong Tian, but Tong Ling don’t know what happened, only softly said: “His Majesty has ordered, follow me out.” He waved his hand and signal two other guards to drag the frozen Lie Er outside.

Feng Ming tried hard to catch the last glimpse of Lie Er. Rong Tian tells him not to be sad since Lie Er has to go on his own path and Feng Ming doesn’t want him to always stay here but always longing for Yong Yin Crown Prince.

Feng Ming thought about it and then think that what if Chiu Lan, Chiu Xing, Chiu Yue, and Rong Hu find their own love and would leave him as well? Then the whole Crown Prince’s residence would be lonely without anyone to accompany him.

After heading back inside, Rong Tian tells Feng Ming that if Lie Er’s happiness is Feng Ming’s happiness, then who take care of (Rong Tian’s) happiness? They have to close the doors and

discuss about that.

Feng Ming complained that it’s still not dark yet and called him a sex craving wolf.

Chiu Xing tells everyone that in a little bit, Duke Ming will scream out “Rescue Me” any moment now. And sure enough, Feng Ming scream out “Rescue Me” from inside his room and they just stood there.

Chiu Lan was thinking how Lie Er left, she no longer had to carefully watch out for him eating her dumplings.

Chiu Xing stated that no one will complain that she is fat.

Chiu Yue said that no one will help chase after her handkerchief if it flew.

Chiu Xing comforted her and said that there’s still Rong Hu.

Rong Hu believes that no one actually can leave the Great King and Duke Ming. He believes that the most happiness moment of Lie Er was being beside them.

Chiu Lan, Chiu Xing, Chiu Yue saw that Rong Hu still continued spying on the Great King and Duke Ming. Rong Hu admit that he likes listening to them together because it’s filled with lots of love and happiness that makes a person brighten up.

They all stared at him and started laughing.

Inside the room, Rong Tian got kicked off the bed and rolled on the carpet. Feng Ming was wondering what they were laughing outside. Rong Tian stated that since they have ruined Feng Ming’s enjoyment, they will get taught a lesson. Feng Ming said that it’s Rong Tian’s enjoyment that is ruin.

"If I say that Duke Ming has guessed right, would Duke Ming agree to collaborate with me and go for another round?"

"Is one round enough? I thought that it would be seven or eight times?"

"Tsk Tsk, Duke Ming guessed right again! Definitely earn the title of most intelligence in the world! Even Ruo Yan have to admit defeat..."

"Don’t try to sugarcoat me! I will not be trick...Wah! Rescue Me! Rescue Me!!..."
