The Rebellious Princess - C378
Zhong Ao Shuang smiled at Qin Tianxiong. He understood the doubt in Qin Tianxiong’s heart. He smiled meaningfully and extended his hand: “Qin Xianfeng, after you.”
“Master Hou, please.”
Qin Tianxiong couldn’t walk in front of Zhong Ao Shuang. His title was much lower than Zhong Ao Shuang’s; he only had an official position without a title.
“Vanguard is our guest. Please come in.”
Someone opened the door, and a handsome and heroic looking young man inside bowed slightly, “Lord Vanguard, please enter, Master Hou.”
Qin Tianxiong couldn’t help but take a few more glances at this person. He subconsciously felt that this person wasn’t an ordinary person.
“This is the chief of the Kunmi tribe, Ashnah Hunter.”
Qin Tianxiong hastily cupped his fists in return, “I’ve long heard of your great name.”
Asmodeus calmly replied, “I am only a servant of the Prince. I do not dare to treat you with courtesy, Lord Xianfeng. Please come in.”
Zhong Ao Shuang also solemnly invited Qin Tianxiong to enter first. Qin Tianxiong was not in a good position to refuse, so he walked in quickly.
He cast a sidelong glance at Ashnah, reflecting on what Ashnah had just said. A servant of the king, a desert eagle of the king, was just one of Prince Xian’s servants.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
Qin Tianxiong held out his hands and bowed.
Tuoba Fei smiled warmly. “There’s no need for Vanguard to be so courteous. Let General Qin have a look.”
Zhong Ao Shuang walked over from behind Qin Tianxiong, lifted his clothes and knelt down: “This subject pays his respect to Your Highness.”
He dropped to his knees, his forehead almost touching the ground.
Qin Tianxiong wanted to sit down, but when he saw Zhong Ao Shuang bowing in such a way, he couldn’t help but stand in front of her and stare blankly at her.
He thought that Zhong Ao Shuang was the envoy of Da-kang, and had also heard that the pear was lonely in its treatment of Zhong Ao Shuang, and had entered the imperial court without kneeling. As an envoy of the imperial court, he should have shown such courtesy. He didn’t expect Zhong Ao Shuang to pay his respects to Tuoba Fei with such a respectful and cautious attitude.
Although Tuoba Fei had a lot of power and influence, even Dan Yu was very afraid of him. After all, in name, he was Prince Xian of the Left. He thought that by doing this, Zhong Ao Shuang would lose a lot of face.
Tuoba Fei looked at the kneeling ZhongAo Shuang and then looked at Qin Tianxiong. In his heart, he understood a bit more, so he said indifferently: “Stand up.”
“Thank you, Prince.”
Zhong Ao Shuang stood up and bowed: “Your Highness, Qin Xianfeng wishes to meet Your Highness on an important matter.”
Tuoba Fei turned to Qin Tianxiong and smiled, “I wonder what matter Vanguard has to discuss. Please take a seat and take your time. Servants, serve tea.”
Qin Tianxiong’s eyes turned cold as he looked over at Zhong Ao Shuang. He didn’t understand why Zhong Ao Shuang, as the Minister of State and Minister of State, would demean himself by kowtowing to Tuoba Fei.
The Big Moon Branch was different from the Central Plains rules. Everyone could only address themselves as subjects, as princes only needed to address themselves as’ lowly officers’ or ‘lowly generals’. Thus, whether it was Zhong Ao Shuang kneeling to Tuoba Fei or calling herself ‘subjects’, they were all against the rules.
“Reporting to Your Highness, the Slave Sumeru Army wishes to seek an audience.”
“Come in.”
Qin Tianxiong was shocked once again. How could he not know the name of the Xumi Army? That wild and unruly man who came without a trace and disappeared without a trace, the Xumi King on horseback was extremely famous in the northern border.
“Slave!”
He looked up at the door.
A person came in and kneeled down as soon as he stepped through the door. He crawled all the way in front of Tuoba Fei and kneeled down again: “This servant pays his respect to Your Highness and reports to Your Highness.”
“Get up. There is an esteemed guest that has come from this king. He is Qin Tianxiong’s vanguard and wishes to meet him.”
“Yes, your servant obeys.”
The Xumi Army stood up again and turned to look at Qin Tianxiong: “Xumi Army greets Qin Xianfeng.”
He proudly placed his hands in front of his chest and slightly lowered his head. Qin Tianxiong’s shock had not yet dissipated as he cupped his fists together and said: “I have long heard of the Sumeru King, I did not want to see it today.”
“The Sumeru army is only the prince’s servants. I don’t dare to say that as the vanguard.”
Qin Tianxiong glanced at the Sumeru army, then at the Chosen Hunting Hero Ashi. The two of them retreated to a corner, bowing their heads respectfully. If they hadn’t heard Zhong Aoshuang and Tuoba Fei’s introductions just now, he wouldn’t have dared to believe that these two were the famous King and King Xumi.
“Vanguard, please take a seat.”
Someone offered fragrant tea. Qin Tianxiong forced himself to sit down. He saw that Zhong Ao Shuang was still standing at Tuoba Fei’s side with a respectful attitude.
“Zhong Ao Shuang, have you led the vanguard to meet the Da Qin family?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, the vanguard had just met with the Great Yue State, and wishes to remain in the Moon Branch as a vassal. Thus, they have come to pay their respects to Your Highness.”
When Tuoba Fei heard ZhongAo Shuang’s words, he immediately understood the meaning behind them. He also understood Qin Tianxiong’s intentions. The smile on his face grew thicker.
“After becoming a member of a famous family, would Qin Xianfeng become a vassal?”
A slightly embarrassed look appeared on Qin Tianxiong’s face as he glanced at Zhong Ao Shuang: “I want to have the Marquis of An Ping, He Ju Hui, and the rest to stay at the Great Moon Branch first, so I think that perhaps I can also stay at the Great Moon Branch to contribute to the peace and stability of the northern border and protect the peace of your highness.”
Tuoba Fei smiled but did not reply. After a long while, he said, “Vanguard is truly a man of his own nature.”
Qin Tianxiong couldn’t help but feel anxious. He looked at Tuoba Fei and asked, “I didn’t dare to ask what’s the meaning of this, Royal Highness?”
“After Qin Xianfeng became a member of a famous family, he became a powerful general with the intention of sending members of his family to my Moon. This king will not be able to refuse him.” Zhong Ao Shuang, you’ve been in my Big Month for over a year, do you think this is feasible? ”
Zhong Ao Shuang stepped forward and bowed: “I am a nobody, how could I dare to compare with Qin Xianfeng? I wish that since I have become a disciple of Grand Moon, I am indebted to Your Highness’s favor and have pledged my allegiance to Your Highness.” “Qin Xianfeng is the son of a general. The Emperor and the Northern Marquis probably won’t let him join the Great Moon Sect and serve his highness.”
“You swore your allegiance to the Great Moon? To be loyal to Prince Xian of the Left? “Zhong Ao Shuang, you …”
“Yes, I have sworn my loyalty to the Divine Spirits of Heaven and Earth, to Prince Xian of the Left. Master Pioneer, do you want to know my oath? ”
Qin Tianxiong laughed angrily: “Please enlighten me, Master Hou. I really want to know, how did Master Hou take the oath?”
Zhong Ao Shuang smiled meaningfully. His handsome face was filled with determination and sincerity. He respectfully and respectfully lifted up his clothes to kneel at Tuoba Fei’s feet.
“Your servant is willing to stay in the Great Moon Sect for the rest of my life, to serve Your Highness, to be his subject. Your subject is willing to stay in the Great Moon Sect for the rest of your life, to serve Your Highness, to be his subject.
He bowed deeply and repeated the oath he had made that day. Once again, he showed Tuoba Fei his intentions.
Tuoba Fei didn’t say anything. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. Qin Tianxiong’s expression didn’t escape his eyes at all.
Qin Tianxiong suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhong Ao Shuang: “You, you dare to do this!”
His hand gripped the sword hilt beneath his ribs and he glared at Zhong Ao Shuang who was kneeling at Tuoba Fei’s feet. His face was filled with disbelief. A scholar from Han Lin Academy, a first-rate, well-off Marquis An Ping, he, how dare he betray his master, the Emperor!
