Dongfang Lan’s words made everyone shocked. Feng Cang has been in charge of the tiger tally for many years. Now empress dowager is being like this, could she be forcing him to hand over the military power? Moreover, peeling him off his position of wangye, doesn’t this mean she’s demoting Feng Cang to commoner status?
The empress dowager and Feng Cang’s deadlock made the whole atmosphere become very tense. The officials were staring at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi beside him. They didn’t know what this Nan Lin wang would choose!
Without military power, without the position of wang, he is just a humble commoner who doesn’t have anything. Will Feng Cang, because of this rubbish princess from Xi Qi, give up his high position, wealth and the power he has?
“This, I’ve already brought it!”
Dongfang Lan’s words made Feng Cang chuckle. From his arms, he removed two pieces of a tiger tally.
“Without the person I love, what meaning does being in a high position and having brocade garments and jade meals has?!”
Brocade garments and jade meals: life of luxury
Seeing Feng Cang really took out the tiger ally, crown prince Wanyan Hong who was watching at one side, aside from being surprised, he was excited. If Feng Cang discarded the military power for a beauty, then he definitely needs to get that military power! Before, Feng Cang relied on the fact that he has the tiger tally in his hand, that’s why Feng Cang didn’t put him in his eyes. If he gets the tiger tally, the first thing he would do is kill Feng Cang!
“Biaodi,6 why be so persistent!”
Wanyan Hong suppressed, with all his strength, the secret happiness in his voice. However, his eyes kept on staring at the tiger tally in Feng Cang’s hand.
“Discarding your power and hurting imperial grandmother’s heart for a beauty; why do you need to be like that?! At this crown prince’s mansion, there are some newly selected beauties. A while later, this crown prince will let people send them to you. Don’t fight anymore with imperial grandmother!”
“Hehe……”
Feng Cang understood the meaning behind Wanyan Hong’s words very well. He shook the tiger tally in his hand and his mouth revealed an evil, charming smile: “Didn’t crown prince want this tiger tally for a long time? Come and take it, ah!”
Hearing Feng Cang say that, Wanyan Hong reached out to get it, but was stopped by a snap from emperor Wanyan Lie. He retreated.
“This tiger tally is Cang er’s. No one else can get it!”
Wanyan Lie fiercely glared at Wanyan Hong once. This darn thing who didn’t live up to expectations. Even at this time, he’s fanning the flames and thinking about things he shouldn’t be thinking about.
“Even if you have the tiger tally, but you also need to have the ability to move them!”
Wanyan Lie’s words completely dashed Wanyan Hong’s idea. He knew that what fuhuang7 said was true.
The army of Bei Zhou had been single-handed built by Feng Xie. Later, when it got into the hands of Feng Cang, it entered a new level. Everyone only listened to Feng Cang. This tiger tally, to some extent, it’s nothing more than an ornament. Even if you took the tiger tally, if the great general didn’t see a letter personally written by Feng Cang, he wouldn’t listen to you. This also made Wanyan Hong hate Feng Cang even more.
The empress dowager didn’t hide her dislike towards Murong Qi Qi. This let Murong Qi Qi have a better understanding of this empress dowager’s personality.
The founder of Bei Zhou, Wanyan Zhi, was once the great general of the previous Qin. Being the general’s wife, Dongfang Lan also came from a family of generals. She did things neatly and had a straightforward personality. Joy or anger showed on her face. She was a hundred times stronger than those people, who with a smiling face, would stab you in the back.
Now, Dongfang Lan put down those words in front of all the court to trouble Murong Qi Qi. Her being so open and straightforward made people admire her. Even Murong Qi Qi felt that Dongfang Lan is a cute grandmother. She likes people who are straightforward, even if that person doesn’t like her.
Seeing Feng Cang come up for her, made Murong Qi Qi felt very grateful and also very touched.
One side was the grandmother who brought him up. The other side was the woman he had only known for a few days. No need to mention the ‘fate’ between Murong Tai and Feng family. This matter, no matter if it’s in the terms of emotions or logic, Feng Cang shouldn’t have come forward. Doing that, no matter what the outcome would be, it’ll only damage the affection bound by blood between them.
After all, blood is thicker than water. Besides, Dongfang Lan was an elder. If Feng Cang formed a wall between him and the empress dowager, people would point at Feng Cang for being unfilial. They would accuse her even more.
Instead of that, she should just openly accept the bet. If Dongfang Lan loses, then with her straightforward personality, she would not embarrass herself. She would not make things difficult for
