Liu Feng observed carefully and saw that next to the sedan chair, there was a young man who looked to be in his twenties riding a chestnut horse. He was wearing a dark blue silk robe, several blue shirts layered inside, and a black fur-edged coat on the outside. Although the style was simple and plain, he looked very noble.
He wore a light green belt with a yellow agate stone on it and dark embroidered patterns of the sun on both sides. It made him look very eye-catching despite his simple outfit.
The feet stepping on the lantern were a pair of extremely clean black cloth boots, and the white soles were even spotless.
He wore a felt hat also inlaid with agate, which fluttered in the wind.
Such attire, coupled with his extraordinary demeanor, makes him unforgettable at first sight.
"General, things have changed." Wang Dingliu looked at the changes in personnel and hurriedly whispered in Liu Feng's ear.
"General, the spies reported that the rider was a middle-aged man in official attire."
"But now that man is gone, and this young man is riding the horse instead."
"Hmm? Are you sure?"
Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he already had a plan of the specific situation in his mind.
"General, I dare to say such things. I am 100% sure."
Wang Dingliu nodded with certainty.
Liu Feng smiled faintly and didn't say another word.
Although Wang Dingliu was born a bandit, he has been diligent and loyal since he followed him, so Wang Dingliu would never speak nonsense.
This is interesting. It seems that the real person is deliberately lowering his posture.
The sedan chair came and stopped steadily in front of Liu Feng and others.
Rows of soldiers in black tortoise armor lined up in a large formation. The official sitting in the sedan chair did not wait for anyone to help him get out of the sedan chair.
Instead, he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked down.
"Are you Liu Feng, the captain of Xinhedu? The general of the Tiger Roar Army. I've heard of your great name for a long time."
The official's robe was red, which meant that his rank was not low. At this time, he walked out with his robe in hand and glanced at Liu Feng coldly. Just one glance made Liu Feng feel the aura of this adult.
Seeing Liu Feng standing straight, he suddenly shouted: "I am an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. Wherever I go, it is as if the emperor has come in person. Why don't you know the etiquette and kneel down?"
Liu Feng ignored him and grinned.
"My Lord, why must I kneel?"
The imperial envoy was obviously stunned and felt puzzled that someone would ask such a low-level question.
"Since you are the captain of Xinhedu, although you have no rank, you are still a subject of Dali. Seeing me is like seeing His Majesty. Not kneeling would be a great disrespect."
"Your Excellency just said that I am only a captain, without any rank. I am a subject of Dali, and I respect Your Majesty in my heart."
"Besides, I'm a lieutenant with no rank, so what kind of official position can I be considered?"
"To put it bluntly, I'm just a small soldier leader. If I were in a place like the capital, I might not even be as good as a small officer guarding the gate. Forget about kneeling."
The imperial envoy's face changed immediately.
"You are so bold, you are so rude! You are talking nonsense!"
"Since I am from the Dali Dynasty, I am not an official, but a commoner. As a commoner of the Dali Dynasty, is there any reason for me not to kneel when I see His Majesty?"
"Sir, what you said is even more wrong. Who said I am a citizen of your dynasty?"
Liu Ye chuckled.
"Since I am not from your Dali, when did I become a subject of Dali? Why must I kneel before the Emperor of Dali?"
"Is it because your Dali Emperor has a big face?"
"If you go out in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, would any dog kneel down and pay homage to you?"
"You're not good enough to make me kneel down."
Liu Feng came from the new era, and he firmly resisted such feudal things. Even in Xinhedu, he never practiced kneeling. For his subordinates, bowing to him was the greatest respect.
"How audacious! How audacious!"
"Are you going to kneel or not?"
“No kneeling…”
"I have a problem. The more powerful the force, the more I resist it. I just won't kneel."
"My knees are quite strong. Apart from those who gave birth to me and raised me, those who have been very kind to me, and my dear teachers, I will be dead if anyone else wants me to kneel down."
The imperial envoy was furious when he heard these words. He was being ignored as soon as he arrived. How could he carry out his subsequent work?
Just as he was about to shout at Xuanwu Jia to take Liu Feng down, he saw Liu Feng open his mouth again.
"Actually, it's not impossible for you to kneel down, but I think that everything should be fair and just. Since I'm kneeling, then everyone else should kneel down as well. So many people are kneeling down to show respect, right?"
"I think these people on horseback are extremely disrespectful to Your Majesty. You, an imperial envoy, have already gotten out of the sedan chair, but they are still riding horses. Is this reasonable?"
"If it's disrespectful, if it's daring, he should be the first to bear the brunt of it."
"If he kneels down today, I will definitely kneel down and apologize."
Liu Feng sneered and pointed at the noble man on the horse.
Liu Feng's words had many meanings, but the most important one was a test. Since he had changed horses on the way here, this person's status should be higher than that of the imperial envoy.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the imperial envoy was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say or how to respond.
The man on the horse dismounted with a smile, walked to the side of the imperial envoy, and said with a smile.
"I am merely an attendant of Lord Fang. Lord Fang has shown me great respect over the years, so I will not need to perform formalities."
"Greetings, Master Fang."
The man on the horse also laughed, dismounted immediately, and walked to the side of the Imperial Envoy Fang to help.
"I am Huang Wu, a servant of Master You. I am grateful for your trust, so I can dispense with the formalities."
"Huang Long greets Master You."
The yellow dragon saluted slightly towards the imperial envoy.
The embarrassment on Lord Fang's face was immediately apparent.
"Okay, okay, please get up quickly. Thank you very much."
"Ah? You want me to salute quickly too?"
"Okay, this is what you said, Master Fang."
Liu Feng's ears twitched, and he immediately imitated Huang Long's appearance and saluted slightly.
"Greetings, Master Fang."
The imperial envoy Fang Youwei was stunned for a long time before he finally understood that Liu Feng was playing word games with him.
He clearly said please stand up, not Liu Feng.
But what could he do? On the surface, the two men had similar status in front of him, and they greeted each other with the same etiquette.
If he wanted to punish Liu Feng, he had to punish Huang Long.
He didn't expect Liu Feng to be so difficult to deal with and didn't take him, the imperial envoy, seriously at all.
