Chapter 260: Lin Hong Role



260 Lin Hong Role

The emperor was terribly angry at the ruckus Yang made on his residence. Prince Mou had just returned with news of defeat and now they even had to handle the public opinion of Prince Yang. Somehow, the princes that still alive was all the useless ones.

"You\'re saying that one single person is the reason for losing?"

Prince Mou nodded carefully. The defeat of General Wei was truly disastrous and there was nothing he could do about it. The soldiers no longer heed his voice and they were afraid when seeing the other party soldiers who seemed ready to go to their end just to move forward.

What made him even more vexed is the fact that the spy he had planted for years was dead. With the other party identity, he thought that the general would get her off lightly, but he instead chose to kill her straight away. This would make it harder for him to do any kind of scheme he wanted against them.

The emperor looked coldly. "The arranged marriage will be set in a few months. The Kai Kingdom and Ming Kingdom will sign a peace treaty."

Prince Mou had heard the news about the marriage agreement between the two emperors. The problem right now was only whether Nanglong Soujin would accept the arrangement or not. But, given that the two of them were childhood friends, it should be alright.

"Your task is to protect Lady Ni until it\'s time for her marriage. Nanglong Soujin will come here to get her."

This time, Prince Mou looked astonished. The emperor actually dared to let the general of Ming Kingdom came to Kai Kingdom. With the power behind Soujin, it was clear that the emperor was making a big bet out of this decision.

Despite feeling that the move from the emperor was truly unwise, he didn\'t say anything more than obedience.

"I understand Imperial Father."

"Take the representative of Ming Kingdom with you to show him the way towards Lady Ni. He will be the one to bring Nanglong Soujin here later."

Raising his head, he looked towards the side where a young man around the age of 15-16 years old stood. The man looked highly refined, but somehow he could feel that the way the boy see him was concealed with coldness.

"Prince Mou greets representative of Ming Kingdom."

"Representative Hong greets Prince Mou."

Hong? Prince Mou raised his head and paid close attention to the boy before him. In the Ming Kingdom, the best representatives who could do diplomacy well only come from two families, the Lin family and Nanglong family. With his name, did it mean he was Lin Hong?

The name of Lin Hong was not unfamiliar. They have heard the news of the boy from Lin family who once tried to kill his own brother but making a huge blunder in the process. Seeing the boy in front of him, he no longer looked like an immature child. Rather, he looked like a silent tiger that was waiting for the right time to make his move.

Discarding those thoughts, he set off with Lin Hong behind him walking calmly to Tian Ni residence.

After sending them off, the emperor looked towards the officials below him with rage. The news of Prince Yang making ruckus was known in the whole capital and made the prince lost his reputation. After the war, it seemed that the prince kept on making trouble for himself.

"Lock him up, no one is allowed to meet with him."

The emperor never gave any lenience in his punishment. Since he had said so, it meant that Prince Yang wouldn\'t be able to get outside of his new small residence.

All of the officials didn\'t voice their rejection. Who among them that didn\'t know that the fourth prince was just someone who didn\'t have many capabilities? Added with the incident of the arrow, none of them held him in high regards anymore.

At the same time, Prince Mou brought Lin Hong to the Tian residence. Their residence was quite big. Lin Hong had heard that they returned to the Kai Kingdom after the war started because they didn\'t want to get dragged down by Ming Kingdom. Now that there was this marriage agreement, it seemed the atmosphere turned festive.

"Prince Mou and Representative of Ming Kingdom, Lin Hong, has arrived."

Lin Hong looked towards the people in front of him calmly. They might show an amiable smile to him, but he knew that the relationship between the two kingdoms was not that peaceful. Hidden behind the warm smile was thick killing intent.

"Representative Hong, please."

Walking to the residence, he tried to memorize the place along with the conversation with the Tian couple. He didn\'t have a good feeling towards the two of them who kept on bragging about their daughter.

"Ni\'er is a really good lady. This decision won\'t harm any parties."

"Mother, you shouldn\'t talk so much."

A sweet voice and an alluring lady were what Lin Hong can see from the 21 year old girl in front of him. Contrary to the people in the room expects, Lin Hong didn\'t have much reaction upon seeing Tian Ni. It was as if the one standing before him was only an ordinary girl and not a pretty girl.

Prince Mou himself liked the girl, but he couldn\'t show it on the surface since he knew that the girl would be married to other people.

"Lady Ni, shouldn\'t you wear a veil upon meeting with a stranger? Such conduct isn\'t like a noble lady," Lin Hong said calmly.

Tian Ni face turned red from anger. How dare this low-life try to scold her? She would show him who was in charge.

"Does a person like you who spend his time in jail possibly know manner?"

Facing the hurtful question, Lin Hong only stared calmly. "Those are the common knowledge that even people from the streets know, Lady Ni. Do you believe that I was born and raised only in jail?"

Lin Hong didn\'t lose his calm, and he could retort the lady in front of him calmly. Tian Ni felt that the young man was surprisingly hard to contend. His way of conduct was truly unfamiliar to her as she never heard about him could do things like this before.

"Don\'t forget your place here, Representative Hong!"

Lin Hong stared back calmly. "Who among us need the agreement? I only come here to do my job. If you want to make things difficult, there is no harm for me to tell Your Highness how uncooperative you are."

Tian Ni eyes were red. Her parents couldn\'t stand it and retort. "Do you believe that you can do as you wish?"

"If you want your lady to have her reputation destroyed, you can frame me. But bear in mind. You\'re putting your daughter future in the stake," Lin Hong said calmly.

The people there couldn\'t refute what Lin Hong said anymore. Finally, they understand how the Lin family could be considered a big family even without any military power or resources. They have the knowledge to handle many situations calmly.

Lin Hong learned a lot during his childhood, at the time Lin Tang was still a proper scholar. Now that Lin Tang was no longer an official, he took the position of his father swiftly.

Looking at the speechless people in front of him, he stood up. "General Soujin will come to Kai Kingdom soon enough. Prepare yourself fully unless you want him to reject you."

After saying that, Lin Hong walked away calmly. The Tian couple truly wished they could kick the boy out, but if they do that, they would offend the emperor. Tian Ni bit her lips. She could only endure and wait for Soujin to come to her.
