"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
