Chapter 3479 Tit for Tat
It’s not that no one is willing to speak, but at this moment, everyone is caught in a delicate confrontation. After all, everyone came here with a purpose, and when they suddenly met like this, everyone had to think about what to say and what they could say at this moment.
But when everyone was being cautious, Li Wu Yu looked at everyone in some confusion.
He didn't understand that since they had met, they should have said what they needed to say and done what they needed to do as soon as possible.
Hu Meir is still waiting for him.
He originally wanted Xiahou Jiu or Chen Wenxiao to speak for him, but when he looked up and saw that none of them said anything, he frowned and was about to speak himself. But then he thought, after all, he was the king of Yue State, and he couldn't be too superficial, otherwise he would lose face.
So, he coughed lightly and spoke deliberately slowly: "Are you the emperor of Yan Kingdom?"
He felt that he said this with great dignity.
Zhu Feng didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He just squinted his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. Instead of answering, he asked, "King of Yue?"
He was older, and his voice was deeper. Coupled with years of military experience, even if he was just asking a simple question, he had the aura of commanding a vast army. Li Wuyu subconsciously answered, "Exactly."
Upon hearing what he said, Xiahou Jiu and Chen Biri behind him frowned.
But before they could speak to stop him, Zhu Feng said, "You are very young."
Although this sentence seemed to be just stating a fact, it was spoken in the tone of an older person, which invisibly put Li Wu Yu down. Li Wu Yu subconsciously felt his chest sink, and he even had difficulty breathing.
As he was hesitating about how to respond, Xiahou Jiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and said, "Although your king is young, his ambition is beyond his years."
“Ambition is not limited by age.”
Zhu Feng repeated this sentence, with a faint smile on his face.
However, under the scorching sun, the deep shadows on his well-defined face made his faint smile even more ironic. He smiled and said, "It's good to have ambition."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became inexplicably subtle.
Even Xiahou Jiu couldn't help but frown, which made Li Wu Yu's presence seem even more ridiculous.
Chen Biri, who was standing behind them, coughed angrily.
The Yan Emperor didn't say much, but as a seasoned official, he knew every word the other party spoke was a sharp knife, piercing Li Wuyu like a knife. Not only was Li Wuyu powerless to fight back, but even Xiahou Jiu was vulnerable.
Chen Bi Ri cursed in his heart, "What an incompetent person!"
However, he did not expect that if it were him, he might not be able to gain any advantage at this time.
One of his two nephews supported him and whispered soothing words, while the other patted his back to help him breathe. After he finally caught his breath, Chen Biri glared at Zhu Feng, then said with a look of disapproval, "Your Majesty, General, let's get down to business!"
Li Wuyu immediately said, "Yes, yes, let's get down to business."
Chen Biri gasped for breath again.
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Let's talk business. Okay."
After saying this, he winked at Cui Yuanmei, who immediately waved to the people waiting below the platform. After a while, several people came over carrying a thin-skinned coffin.
Seeing this, the people from Yue State all held their breath.
Their meeting this time was largely due to the assassination of Chen Biri, and this assassin was their most important "business". Now, when he saw the body being carried in, Chen Biri couldn't help but get nervous and immediately whispered to Chen Wenxiong, "Go down and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenxiong immediately went down to take a look, then came back and nodded to Chen Biri.
Chen Bi Ri waved his hand and said, "Take it away first."
At this time, Zhu Feng said: "Wait a minute."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, only to see Zhu Feng sitting motionless, not even glancing down. He simply said calmly, "I've had the assassin's body brought here, but if you want to take him away, shouldn't you give me an explanation first?"
Upon hearing this, the people opposite frowned.
From the very beginning, they were the ones who asked the king and ministers of Yan State to give an explanation, but when Zhu Feng opened his mouth, he asked them to give an explanation. This was completely putting the cart before the horse.
Chen Biri's face immediately darkened.
He said coldly: "What explanation do we have to give you?"
Zhu Feng lowered his eyelids and didn't speak to him at all. Instead, he turned his head slightly away. Cui Yuanmei glanced at him and immediately said loudly to Chen Biri, "This person sneaked into Your Majesty's headquarters a few days ago and took advantage of the chaos that night to kidnap Princess Xinping. Don't you need to give an explanation for this matter?"
Chen Bi Ri said coldly, "So many things happen every day in your Yan Kingdom. Do we have to be responsible for every single one of them?"
Cui Yuanmei sneered, "The affairs of Yan State naturally have nothing to do with your Yue State, but the people of Yue State have come to Yan State's territory to commit crimes. Shouldn't you, the rulers and ministers of Yue State, demand an explanation?"
As he spoke, he asked Li Wuyu directly, "Lord, is it possible that the people of Yue are committing crimes and cannot be controlled?"
"this--"
Li Wu Yu was also dumbfounded and had no idea how to answer this question, while Chen Biri's face turned pale.
They originally wanted to come and hold the people accountable for what happened today, but they didn't expect that Cui Yuanmei would in just a few words point out that the Vietnamese people were committing crimes, which made them lose face.
This even made it difficult for them to utter the words of accusation they had prepared.
Chen Bi Ri was so angry that he raised his hand to slam the table. Fortunately, Chen Wenxiao, who was standing beside him, stopped him. After all, in such an occasion, it was not his turn as a minister to slam the table. Chen Bi Ri could only put his hand on his chest and continued to breathe heavily. Chen Wenxiao, who was standing beside him, whispered a few words of comfort, then raised his head and said, "Master Cui, your words are making things worse."
Cui Yuanmei raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Chen Wenxiao asked, "Is there no crime in that place? Do you think that in your Yan country, people don't steal things on the road and leave their doors unlocked at night?"
Cui Yuanmei was speechless by his question.
Chen Wenxiao continued, "We don't know why this man has kidnapped your princess. Since the incident occurred on your soil and within your emperor's compound, we are not responsible for this matter. On the contrary, we have a question for your monarch and his ministers."
Cui Yuanmei asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Chen Wenxiao raised his hand and pointed at the thin-skinned coffin below. He said, "This man recently attempted to assassinate the Prime Minister of our Yue Kingdom on the border. Afterwards, he chose to go to your Yan Kingdom instead of anywhere else. Isn't this strange?"
