Editor : Minak Amie. Thank you for your hard work!

***************************

The hand holding the sword automatically gripped harder as Zi Yanhesitantly asked, “Duke Ming… you want to send me to Dan Lin as the specialenvoy?”

“Well, there’s no one more suited than you.” Feeling his tone was a bit strange,Feng Ming further asked, “You’re not willing?”

“This subordinate doesn’t dare to refuse. Duke Ming’s order, thissubordinate will of course comply with.”

His answer was given with composure.

However, he felt as if that man’s lascivious and wicked eyes werelooking at him from afar in ridicule, filling him with dread.

Zi Yan restrained the overflowing waves of emotion deep inside and askedin a calm and collected tone, “Duke Ming, during my stay in Dan Lin, may I knowwho the person in charge of our liaison is? And when do I need to set off?”

“About this…” Feng Ming scratched his head while deep in thought for awhile. He then muttered to Rong Tian asking for an opinion. “The peace treatywas signed with Dan Lin’s prince, He Di. All matters regarding the luminoussand’s profit and the trading details were designated to him… so… wouldn’t thatmake him the person who will be working with Zi Yan?”

Rong Tian nodded in agreement.

The contents of the peace treaty were already shown to him the previousnight by Rong Hu.

He already knew that Zi Yan would be sent to Dan Lin.

Zi Yan was Rong Tian’s loyal follower. Anywhere he was ordered to go, hewould, even if he felt slightly reluctant. But Dan Lin was too important. Notonly did they need access to the trading route, they also needed to get theirhands on the sand to make weapons.

Even if Feng Ming hadn’t signed him off as their representative, takingthe overall situation into consideration, perhaps Rong Tian still would havesent him off to Dan Lin because he was capable of working independently and hadalways been loyal to him.

This was Feng Ming’s first time signing a treaty and dispatching anenvoy, therefore in front of his beloved, he couldn’t help but want to show offhis splendor. He switched to a more serious and conscientious manner of speech.

“Zi Yan, we will follow the treaty accordingly. You will keep in touchwith Dan Lin’s second Prince He Di and establish a good rapport. Oh, right… hekind of looks evil, so he probably isn’t a good person. You should always takea little precaution when dealing with him. However, returning to our maintopic, he is an important ally and the navy under his command is very powerful,brave and skilled in naval warfare. We don’t have any other alternatives, somake sure not to offend him. Hehe, in fact, it’s fine if there is no sincerityin your heart as long as you deal with him courteously.”

“This subordinate understands.”

“As for when…” Feng Ming thought for a while before saying, “We made anarrangement with Prince He Di to meet in Tong’s capital, so wait until wearrive and I will take you to meet him. Anyways, we have already arrived in theTong Kingdom and their seaside is not very far from Dan Lin’s. Coincidentally,my current relationship with the Kingdom of Tong’s Royal Uncle is quite good,so perhaps we can accomplish our goal of establishing a trading route soonerthan we expected. Hey, Rong Tian, my old man gave us one year to complete thetask, right?”

Rong Tian had numerous headaches trying to find a solution to MasterXiao’s requirement.

Now that a ray of light had shined down on his problem, his heart feltextremely light from the lifted burden, but of course he knew the sun wouldn’tshine forever. Something was sure to happen in the future to upset things. Buthow could it compare to the way they were originally stuck doing nothing. So,with a smile on his face, he replied, “Yes, therefore we need to make the bestuse of our time. If this matter can be accomplished, Teacher should also lookat you in a new light.”

“The fact that he didn’t use his sword to deal with me was alreadygood.” Feng Ming really felt fearful regarding the matter. He weakly whisperedhis words while completely oblivious of Zi Yan’s inner turmoil.

On the outside,he looked calm, however, internally there was a raging storm of emotionswreaking havoc.
