“Your Highness is a wise man.”
Zhou Ziyu glared at Lu Fei with resentment.
Xiao Ming nodded and said to Lu Fei, “Let’s go. There’s no need to continue this trial.”
Zhou Ziyu sneered at Xiao Ming, “Farewell, Your Highness.” Then he turned to Lu Fei and said, “Captain Lu, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged. We will meet again someday.”
“Perhaps you won’t have that chance,” Xiao Ming suddenly turned to Lu Fei and declared, “The criminal Zhou Ziyu is guilty of smuggling warhorses and colluding with barbarians. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable. He is sentenced to immediate execution!”
“Prince Qi, how dare you!” Zhou Ziyu panicked.
Xiao Ming slowly turned around, “Do you think I am more important to Prince Wei, or are you?”
“You…” The cell door was opened by Lu Fei, and Zhou Ziyu’s eyes filled with terror.
He had assumed that Prince Qi would not dare to offend Prince Wei, which is why he had been so confident.
After all, Prince Wei’s fief was only three hundred miles away from Qingzhou. If Prince Wei were to become enraged and send troops, Prince Qi would surely suffer.
Skirmishes between the borders of feudal lords’ territories were not uncommon.
