Chapter 1359: Showing His Edge
Translator: Lonelytree
Lin Yuelan didn’t say anything after he finished speaking. However, the High
Priest Liang Renhui’s expression became even more embarrassed.
He was embarrassed.
He cursed in his heart, ‘The First Prince is so brawny and simple-minded. I’m so angry!’
The crowd was laughing because Liang Renhui was the one who provoked the Longyan Country.
Initially, if the problem were not resolved, both the High Priest and the Aduo Chai Kingdom would humiliate the Longyan Kingdom. Then, they would become angry, and it would become a reason for war.
The fundamental reason for the war between the two countries was that simple.
However, the First Prince’s words helped the High Priest resolve the situation to a certain extent. At the same time, the Aduo Chai Kingdom became the country being provoked.
Although this was Liang Renhui’s own goal.
However, without an ally, this would be very disadvantageous to their country.
Liang Renhui wanted to defend the First Prince’s words, but he seemed powerless.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” I heard that the Aduo Chai Kingdom is a country of great grasslands. They herd sheep and horses for a living all year round. The country of the Great Prairie revered strength, and a large number of heroes and warriors emerged. Every year, a warrior contest would be held to select the first warrior. This warrior will become a general in your army and will receive 30 sheep as a reward from the leader every year. At the same time, he will also be able to marry the most beautiful girl on the prairie.”
When Liang Renhui heard this, his pupils contracted violently.
Although these weren’t secrets of the Great Prairie to the distant Longyan Kingdom, as long as they didn’t deliberately inquire about it, they generally wouldn’t know about it.
However, this princess of the Guguo had recited everything so casually as if she was very familiar with everything about the Great Prairie.
Could it be that the Aduo Chai Kingdom had become the target of the Longyan
Kingdom? That was why they paid attention to the news from the Great Prairie.
The First Prince did not know what the High Priest was thinking.
However, when he heard Lin Yuelan’s words, the First Prince’s eyes immediately lit up. He asked happily,” That’s true. How did you know?” Without waiting for Lin Yuelan’s reply, he continued,” The warriors of the grasslands are all as strong as bulls, just like me.” As he said this, he patted his chest with both hands and said proudly,” This year’s champion is me. I’ve always wanted to visit the Longyan Dynasty. Father finally allowed me to accompany the High Priest to the Longyan Kingdom!”
Lin Yuelan pretended to be interested and asked,” Oh, is that so? Is the First
Prince really interested in the Longyan Kingdom?”
Upon hearing Lin Yuelan’s question, the expressions of all the officials present changed drastically.
Those who were in the government knew what Lin Yuelan was trying to say.
What did it mean for a foreign prince to be interested in other countries?
This meant that there was a high possibility that he wanted to occupy other countries’ territories for his own.
And Longyan Kingdom had become a piece of meat in his eyes!
Of course, there were other foreign guests whose faces changed.
Although they had the same ambition and intentions, they did not dare to show it in front of the host.
Liang Renhui’s face twitched after hearing Lin Yuelan’s words. He was afraid that the First Prince had answered something he shouldn’t have.
He wanted to stop the First Prince from answering before that.
However, at this moment, he realized that no matter how hard he tried to open his mouth, he could not make a single sound.
“Of course!” The First Prince answered after thinking for a while.
Lin Yuelan continued to ask,” Since you are the First Prince and you are looking forward to coming to the Long Yan Country, why didn’t you come by yourself but instead accompanied the High Priest?”
Lin Yuelan’s question made Liang Renhui’s expression change drastically.
He wanted to open his mouth to stop the First Prince from spouting nonsense, but just like before, he could not make a sound at all.
The First Prince said loudly,” The High Priest is highly respected and resourceful in our Aduo Chai Kingdom. Before we departed, it was said that he had an old friend in the Longyan Kingdom, so he wanted to take advantage of the five-nation exchange meeting to look for his old friend. Therefore, his father sent the High Priest to the Longyan Country in his place! And because I was this year’s best warrior, I asked my father to allow me to accompany the High Priest to the Longyan Country!’
The First Prince’s words caused even the Sovereign Yuwen Longyan, who was sitting high up on the throne, to change.
His words were also hinting that the High Priest had sent spies to the Longyan Kingdom to inquire about the national conditions of the Longyan Kingdom.
Lin Yuelan seemed to be very interested and asked,” Does your father hang on the High Priest’s words?”
