Chapter 252: Chapter 0217: Not Subject to His Leadership and Control Chapter 252: Chapter 0217: Not Subject to His Leadership and Control Chapter 0217 Not Under His Leadership and Control

Originally, Qi Tian only offered nine hundred spirit stones to the Imperial Master Mansion, still keeping nine hundred on him. With these nine hundred spirit stones, when Qi Tian was drafted and sent to the frontier, he could have too many ways to get these nine hundred spirit stones. But now, Qi Tian offered these nine hundred spirit stones to the Imperial Master Mansion too, and even if he still had so spirit stones left, there wouldn’t be too many. Then, what was the point of him stooping so low to target Qi Tian? Wasn’t that being a villain in vain?

However, as the Vice-Minister of Taichang Temple, a high official of the court, and a confidant of the emperor, how could Wang Xin’s dignity be provoked by others? If it was Wang Song or Luo Xia, cultivators with deep roots in the Imperial Master Mansion, and he could not manipulate them, then he would let it go. But Qi Tian was just an inexperienced youngster. Even if he was talented, so what? He had shallow roots and could be toppled by a breeze. This re novice dared to provoke him again and again, foiling all his plotting. How could he swallow this anger? He had to get it out, otherwise his thoughts would not be clear, and he would be in a bad mood.

“Qi Tian, you are indeed a young hero, and your heart is set on serving the country and the people, which is comndable. Since you are committed to serving the country, then I will fulfill you. I am setting off for the frontier, where I will wait for you. I hope you can report for duty on ti. Otherwise, while I might forgive you, military laws will not.” Wang Xin stood up, waved his sleeve, and prepared to leave.

“Sir Wang, please wait.” Wang Song quickly stepped forward, extended his arm, and stopped Wang Xin.

Wang Xin was quite wary of Wang Song, who was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishnt. He stopped, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a reluctant smile, asking, “Lord Wang, is there anything else?”

“Sir Wang,” said Wang Song, “since you are recruiting Qi Tian on behalf of the court, shouldn’t so things be made clear?”

“What things?” Wang Xin asked.

Wang Song said, “For example, you asked Qi Tian to go to the frontier to report. Where do you plan to let him report and when? And how long are you planning to draft Qi Tian? Ten days, half a month, or longer? My people at Imperial Master Mansion can be drafted by the court, and I won’t say anything. But if the court is going to use us as labor without end, I will not agree. In the future, our Mansion Master will know about it, and he won’t be happy either.”

When Wang Song ntioned Xiao Xiaowu, Wang Xin was not happy, but despite being annoyed, he had to put up with it. The Imperial Master Mansion could tolerate the court’s draft, but that didn’t an Xiao Xiaowu, a Gold Core Stage cultivator, could be casually humiliated. If Xiao Xiaowu was provoked, even the Emperor would have to give way to him, let alone him, a re Vice-Minister of Taichang Temple, even if he was the emperor’s confidant. If things went wrong, he might be pushed out to take the bla by the emperor himself.

“Well, I didn’t make it clear just now, let say it again. This ti I am drafting Qi Tian to go to the frontier. Qi Tian must report to the Tongguan Left Guard Station before the fifth day of next month. Later on, I will send the order of the draft, which will have specific details. As for the ti of the draft, it depends on the situation, but I think it will not exceed three months at most. Over the years, the ti for the Chi Di people to invade from the south does not usually exceed this limit, even if it happens, it is extrely rare, and may not even occur once every hundred years.” Wang Xin briefly explained the situation.

Wang Song nodded, then cleared the way for Wang Xin, saying, “Sir Wang, everything you said has been noted by our Imperial Master Mansion. We hope you can rember what you said today and keep your word.”

The smile on Wang Xin’s face almost hardened. He snorted and was about to leave again when he heard a voice from behind, “Wait, Sir Wang.”

Wang Xin was about to go mad. He was the dignified Vice-Minister of Taichang Temple, yet everyone seed to neglect his importance as the Emperor’s confidant. Just as he was about to erupt, he suddenly ca to his senses. The one stopping him this ti was a female voice. Among everyone present, only one person was a woman. He quickly suppressed his anger, put on a smile, turned around, and asked, “Princess, is there anything you need?”

Zhao Qian said, “Just now Qi Tian said sothing very good, ‘The rise and fall of a nation rests on everyone.’ The southern invasion of the Chi Di people is imminent, and I, as a royal princess, cannot stand idly by just like others. Sir Wang, I volunteer to be drafted by the court. I am willing to go to Tongguan Left Guard Station together with Qi Tian to block the invading Chi Di people.”

“Princess, the Chi Di people are barbarous, and the frontier is full of perils. You are a royal princess, too precious to be put in danger like this.” Wang Xin tried to persuade her.

“If Qi Tian can go, why can’t I? Is it because Sir Wang looks down on , or do you have so other sches?” Zhao Qian challenged.

Zhao Qian’s blunt accusation imdiately angered Wang Xin. His face changed, and he said formally: “Since the Princess is determined to serve the country, then I will satisfy the Princess’s wish. Later, a draft will be sent to the Prince Mansion as well. Princess, I hope you will accept the draft when the ti cos, and serve the country. Everyone else, is there anything else? If not, I shall take my leave.”
