"This... some things are not convenient to say, but I believe you should understand." Tianzhang Pavilion Grand Secretary said seriously.

"I am stupid and really don't know what you mean. I hope you can forgive me." Zhengjun Duncan was neither humble nor arrogant.

"You------!" Tianzhang Pavilion Grand Secretary was a little annoyed.

Looking at the other party's performance when he entered the door, he thought he was a smart man who knew the current situation. Unexpectedly, he started to pretend to be stupid now. It was obvious that he didn't take him seriously.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, let me ask."

General Longwei took over the conversation and asked very directly: "Zhengjun Duncan, right? People don't speak in secret, and we won't beat around the bush with you. We all know your purpose. Now we want to know, what news have you got?"

"What is the news that the general is talking about?" Zhengjun Duncan asked again.

"Bang!"

General Long Wei slammed the table and said gloomily: "Boy! Don't act crazy and stupid with me here. I have limited patience. If you don't answer honestly, don't blame me for not giving face to the Duncan family!"

While speaking, a strong momentum suddenly burst out from his body and hit Zhengjun Duncan directly.

To become the Long Wei General of West Lucozia, not only does one need to have great military exploits, but also one must have extremely strong strength.

Once the pressure of the master's perfection is released, few people can resist it.

At this moment, Zhengjun Duncan only felt that his breathing was stagnant, and it seemed that a huge stone was pressing on his chest.

But he remained calm and had no fear.

Even, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

But from his slightly trembling hands, it can be seen that he was under great pressure at the moment.

"General, are you inviting me to dinner? Or interrogating the prisoner?"

Zhengjun Duncan had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Although my Duncan family is not a top-notch wealthy family, it is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will. If you have this attitude, I think there is no need to continue chatting today."

"Bold!"

General Long Wei glared and said in a thunderous voice: "How dare you, a small general, talk to me like this? You are simply disrespectful! Do you believe that I will punish you for contempt of superiors now?!"

"Contempt of superiors?"

Zhengjun Duncan suddenly laughed: "First of all, you are the general of West Lucozia, and I am an official of Stonia. You have no power to control me; secondly, this is not the court, but a restaurant, regardless of status; finally, let me ask the general, from the moment I entered the door, where have I done anything beyond the rules? How can I talk about contempt of superiors?"

"You------!"

General Long Wei was furious.

His chest and abdomen rose and fell rapidly, his eyes were about to spit fire, and he looked murderous.

The temperature in the private room dropped rapidly, and soon fell to the freezing point, and even the wine on the table began to frost.

The general of the city guards looked normal, but the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was shivering with cold, and he had no words to say.

"Of course, with the power of the general, he can indeed accuse me of a false crime, or even put me in jail. I believe this."

At this point, Zhengjun Duncan suddenly changed the subject: "But before that, I have to remind the general that I am a guest of the palace, and I will meet the little prince tomorrow. If the general arrests me tonight, how can I explain to the little prince tomorrow?"

"You dare to threaten me?!" General Longwei's face sank.

"I dare not, I just kindly remind the general." Zhengjun Duncan was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Good! You are very good!" General Longwei gritted his teeth, looking like he was going to eat someone.

Although he did not take Zhengjun Duncan seriously, he was hesitant if he really wanted to do it.

First, the other party is a direct descendant of the Duncan family after all, and it is difficult to explain openly if he is detained; second, the other party was indeed invited to the palace, and he had a good chat with the young prince.

If he was arrested just after leaving the palace, with the temper of the young prince, he would definitely not let it go.

So even if he was furious at the moment, he did not dare to arrest anyone easily.

The problem is that he has said harsh words, and if the other party does not compromise at all, it will be embarrassing.

"General, general, how can you joke like this?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the general of the city guards on the side finally started to smooth things over: "We are inviting guests to dinner tonight. You are so impatient, don't scare the guests, sit down quickly."

As he said that, he poured a cup of tea for General Longwei, and turned to Zhengjun Duncan and smiled: "Brother Duncan, the general was just joking with you just now, don't mind it, come on, drink tea."

"Yes, yes, I was joking." The Tianzhang Pavilion University scholar next to him echoed.

"Hmph!" General Long Wei glanced at him coldly, took advantage of the situation and did not continue to attack.

They did not expect Zhengjun Duncan to be so courageous and not afraid of threats at all.

And his words were well-reasoned and without any flaws.

If they had looked down on Zhengjun Duncan before, now they really realized that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man in front of them was by no means a good person.

In this first round of confrontation, they were completely defeated. - Ton

Confused

“But... I’m not willing to accept this!” Li Juntang gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with deep resentment. He was so close to succeeding --- why did his father have to interfere at such a crucial moment? Could it be that his father never intended to make him the crown prince? Had all the previous favoritism and preferential treatment just been an act? “Son, to accomplish great things, you must have patience. You must never act impulsively,” Consort Spanner advised him earnestly. “One defeat is nothing; losing a bit of treasure isn’t worth mentioning. As long as you are safe, there will always be another opportunity. The Spanner family and I will always support you.” Hearing this, Li Juntang’s expression finally softened a little. Although he did not have the dragon source energy and the national destiny, he still had his mother, the powerful Spanner clan, and the network of connections he had painstakingly built over the years. With all these advantages, he could s...

Acting

"Oh? I didn't expect that my eldest brother would be here too." When Li Juntang was about to burn incense for the deceased, he saw Li Wenxing and Li Guanglong in the mourning hall and bowed politely: "Hello, big brothers." In fact, he had already guessed this situation before he came, so he was not surprised at all. The eight wealthy families and four royal families were all his targets for winning over. Now that the Duncan family is still wavering and has not decided who to support, he will naturally not miss this opportunity. "Third brother, I heard that you left Stonia for work, how come you came back so soon?" Li Wenxing said meaningfully. "My little thing is not worth mentioning at all, so after hearing the news of General Duncan's heroic sacrifice, I immediately rushed here, intending to personally see General Duncan off for the last time." Li Juntang answered beautifully. Not only did he resolve his eldest brother...

Trouble Arrives at the Door

“I was quite surprised that I managed to bring back the Dragon Source Qi so smoothly this time. Honestly, I was even prepared to fall out completely with Li Juntang,” said Dustin. “Oh? How so?” Margarert raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Dustin didn't hold back. He carefully recounted everything that had happened, including Li Juntang’s sudden and unusual friendliness, as well as Hongniang’s intervention and her decision to follow him. “What do you think Li Juntang is really up to? He was incredibly suspicious of me just a day before --- nearly fought me --- yet the next day he completely changed, became overly friendly, and even gifted me one of the great beauties from the Rouge List. It's baffling.” Dustin shook his head. “In my view, this probably has something to do with Li Juntang’s mother, Consort Spanner,” Margarert said after a moment of contemplation. “Consort Spanner is shrewd and calculating. She must have realized that Li Juntang isn't your match...
