Chapter 989 Xia Family's Fourth Son Intercepts the Deal in the East
That clueless Dongwei idiot is still sitting there, looking at Xia Qinian with utter contempt as he issues orders!
"My Lordship, I am not here to discuss matters with you, nor am I asking for your help. Rather, I am here on behalf of the Crown Prince of Dongwei to give you an order!"
Your orders must be carried out without question!
"Your Excellency must have made a mistake."
I am the Vice Minister of Rites of Jingyue Kingdom, not the Vice Minister of Rites of your Dongwei Kingdom!
The Crown Prince of Dongwei has no right to issue orders to an official of Jingyue Kingdom like myself!
This official need not obey His Highness the Crown Prince of your country!
Xia Qinian's words were quite righteous and stern.
Dongwei Pighead didn't take Xia Qinian's words seriously at all.
It looked at Xia Qinian, a contemptuous smirk playing on its lips.
"Judging from what you've said, Minister... anyone who didn't know better would think you were extremely loyal to your country's emperor!"
The words of Dongwei Pig Head made Xia Qinian's heart skip a beat. Hiding a wave of guilt, he hurriedly said, "Your words are very strange!"
As a subject of the Jingyue Kingdom, my loyalty to the Jingyue Emperor is my duty, and there is nothing to question about that!
Upon hearing this, Dongwei Pighead smirked.
"How could the Vice Minister say something like, 'As a subject of the Jingyue Kingdom, it is my duty to be loyal to the Emperor of the Jingyue Kingdom'?"
Don't you feel guilty?
Whether he is loyal or not, the Vice Minister himself knows best, and so does I.
"I suppose the Vice Minister has long been on that pirate ship that Prince Yi is plotting to usurp the throne, and there's no getting off?"
"You bullshit!"
Xia Qinian panicked!
Xia Qinian was understandably flustered when his secret was so easily exposed by the people of East Venezuela!
So far, aside from ambition, Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi has neither the absolute power nor the resources to seize the throne of Jingyue.
If this matter is exposed, it will be a heinous crime of treason, punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of nine generations of one's family!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly sent people to escort his two legitimate sons and two illegitimate sons out of the capital overnight...
Looking again at the pig-headed Dongwei man in front of him, Xia Qinian felt even more uneasy...
My secret is no secret to the people of East Venezuela.
Not only that, but his secret... has also become a handle in the hands of the East Venezuelan people!
With this leverage over them, they will be able to blackmail them and make them do things for them according to their orders!
This this……
At this moment, Xia Qinian was flustered and at a loss—he did not know how to face the so-called envoy from the Eastern Wei Kingdom.
What should I do next?
Is it to protect the Jingyue Kingdom?
Or should they obey the orders of East Venezuela?
Xia Qinian felt as if a tangled mess had been forcibly stuffed into his mind, so chaotic that he couldn't make sense of it.
At this moment, Dongwei Pig Head said from the opposite side: "Minister, don't panic!"
In your Jingyue Kingdom, you are not the only one who obeys our Dongwei Kingdom!
Did you know that even the Prince Yi you follow... has already cooperated with the Crown Prince of my Eastern Wei Kingdom...?
Oh no, "cooperation" is inappropriate. It should be said that... your Prince Yi is under the command of the Crown Prince of my Eastern Wei Kingdom!
If he wants to one day sit on the dragon throne of your Jingyue Kingdom, he cannot do it on his own; he must rely on the support of my Dongwei Kingdom!
If he wants the support of my East Venezuela, he must obey my East Venezuela.
Even Xiao Jingyi has to obey the orders of our Dongwei Kingdom, let alone you, Minister!
"The Vice Minister said... is it or isn't it?"
"Your Excellency should be careful with your words!"
Xia Qinian raised his hand to stop him.
"Your Excellency should know that this is the Kingdom of Jingyue!"
You are guests from afar, so just be good guests and don't do anything to sow discord, turn the tables, or undermine the foundation of Jingyue Kingdom!
And do not attempt to blackmail me with dubious excuses!
As an official of the Jingyue Kingdom, it is my duty to safeguard the interests of the Jingyue Kingdom and uphold the dignity of the Jingyue Emperor!
"I would never do anything that betrays the interests of Jingyue Kingdom or damages its reputation!"
Xia Qinian spoke forcefully, but his eyes were secretly fixed on the hand of the Dongwei pig-head across from him, which was gripping the knife tighter and tighter. His mind was already in a panic!
I'm afraid of death, and I'm also afraid of my secret being exposed... because once the secret is exposed, the result is also death!
How could Xia Qinian not be afraid!
How could I not panic!
On the rooftop, Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu, watching Xia Qinian like this, couldn't help but curse him contemptuously in their hearts: Another spineless bastard!
Xia Qinian's panic and fear were also seen by Dongwei Pighead, who was sitting opposite him...
Dongwei Pighead thought to himself: It seems that this cowardly Xia Qinian is easy to manipulate!
Let's see how long you can keep up this tough act.
Once you find out... all four sons you sent away have been snatched away, let's see if you can still pretend to be tough!
Dongwei Pig Head changed his sitting posture, looked at Xia Qinian, and said slowly, "Xia Chengzong and Xia Chengji are the two legitimate sons of the Vice Minister, right?"
"Aren't Xia Chengsi and Xia Chengfeng the Vice Minister's two sons born out of wedlock?"
As Dongwei Pighead named out his sons one by one, Xia Qinian's eyes widened...
"You...you...how do you know my son's name?"
