Chapter 312: Turtle
With Yan Ziyu, Scholar Heaven Calculating, and Princess Luofu, the four heretical lords had to retreat.
“In three months by the sacred lake, the ten halls and the pagoda shall have our duel. At that time, our two strongest lords will also be there. The Wanxiang Pagoda isn’t the only place that has Grand Historical Geniuses.” The Third Lord’s voice echoed through the Apricot Manor.
The heretical disciples were now gone, and the heroes from the other powers quietly left as well. Feng Daniu has become the king under Heaven’s Mandate without rivals. Everyone thought that the contest this time would be between the heretics and the pagoda, so no one expected this result.
“Her Highness invites Commander Feng to the pavilion!” Attendant Yu was full of smiles as he stared at Feng Feiyun covered in armor with a pair of devious, squinting eyes.
Not all of his armor melted, but it was completely stained with blood. He shuddered under this old man’s gaze. He seemed to be interested in men, so Feng Feiyun got a chill from his stare.
“Cough! I am a rude man and don’t know anything about proper etiquette. I’m afraid of offending the princess, so I don’t dare to see her.” Feng Feiyun naturally knew that the princess wanted to recruit him. However, he had no interest in the competition within the imperial clan, so he didn’t want to see her.
He wouldn’t even care about her if it wasn’t for the special identity he was assuming.
“Are you satisfied with only being a Thousand-man Commander?” The princess’ beautiful voice came from the distance. It carried the royal aura of a king.
The Young Marquis and Dashi’s third prince glanced at each other and softly sighed. It looked like the princess truly wanted to recruit him. They both knew that no one could compete against her.
Feng Feiyun slightly bowed his head to show his respect towards a member of royalty before suddenly taking a proud stance in the middle of the stage. He spoke in neither a servile nor overbearing manner: “So what if I’m only a Thousand-man Commander? According to the regulations of the Jin Dynasty, kill three enemies and be promoted to a Denary Commander, kill thirty for the Centurion position, kill three hundred to be a Thousand-man Commander. My position was hard-earned through my military exploits. Your Highness, you were born a noble, but have you ever killed an enemy on the battlefield? If you have never made military contributions, how are you qualified to look down on the rank of a Thousand-man Commander?”
Feng Feiyun had learned the art of war from Strategist Ge with the intention of joining the military to stand out, so he was very clear of the military system in the dynasty.
The prodigies who had yet to leave were baffled. A Thousand-man Commander dared to scold the current princess of the dynasty? This Feng Daniu was abnormally courageous!
