The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 27

Total silence! A deadly silence ensued!    

No one expected that Jiang Feng would suddenly erupt thoroughly. This completely destroyed all of their relations with Soaring Dragon, and started a dispute with the first duke in the kingdom!    

In just that one moment, even those who were friendly with the duke of Jiang Han broke out in cold sweat on his behalf.    

As for the neutral party, they did not even dare to look at Jiang Feng. Doing so probably caused the duke of Soaring Dragon to misunderstand and think that they were also supporting Jiang Feng.    

The atmosphere of the banquet was strangely silent.    

It was at that moment that a standing ovation began to sound.    

Jiang Chen stood up lazily, “Good moonshine, just right! You're my parents, all right. But I'm curious about one thing. Isn't there one backbone that can be found among you called the duke of – who is called an elite noble?    

Do we need to rely on you who are weak-willed, sycophant, and mediocre to defend the borders of our Eastern Kingdom?    

Is your only remaining ability to suppress your peers, seize the land of your peers, and rob your colleagues of their advantage?    

To you, the Pill King Garden right? As a mere businessman, do you have a proud achievement? Have you provided any service to the kingdom? Where did you dare to lecture a second-rate duke with such a tone?    

Who gave you that courage? Does the king know how arrogant you are? The person who observes the big picture and takes action according to it is a clever person, right? Look at the bigger picture, right? Alright, I want to see what kind of big picture you are referring to, the Pill King Garden. Partnership termination? I spit on that thing. This young duke is telling you clearly now, the Pill King's Garden has been banned by my Jiang family!”    

The grand courtmaster sneered coldly. "banned? Who do you think you're fooling? Your Jiang family is just a desperate duchy. Ban my Pill King Garden? Your family land that has spirit veins can only be used to raise pigs without the support of my garden, let alone others.”    

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Is that so? The third Head of the Healing Hall, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said that my family's land can only be used to raise pigs. What say?”    

The third hallmaster chuckled and rubbed his nose. “It is unfortunate to farm on a piece of land that has a spirit spirit. Our Hall of Healing is willing to offer ten million silver and sign a five-year contract with the Jiang family. No, ten years, twenty years.You determine the length of the contract!”    

Whahuh? Everyone present, including the Duke of Soaring Dragon, all thought they had misheard. The third Hallmaster of the Hall of Healing had offered ten million silvers to sign a contract with the Jiang family in this kind of situation?    

If it happens at a later time, and they sign a contract solely for business matters, then it is no big deal.    

However with this incident, the actions of the Hall of Healing openly supported the Jiang family, and risked stirring up opposition with the Duke of Soaring Dragon.    

It's freaky.    

Who does not know how dominant the Hall of Healing is?    

Who doesn't know how crafty the Hall of Healing is?    

It was no wonder that the Hall of Healing had no opinion in such a situation. But, it was strange for a headmaster from the Hall to step forward and express their opinion.    

When did the Jiang family connect with the Hall of Healing and form such a strong bond?    

No one felt that the Jiang family had such a huge face that it caused the Hall of Healing to openly express its support to them.    

Grand courtmaster's expression changed, “Hallmaster Qiao, isn't this what to do?”    

Of the three old markets in the capital for alcoholic beverage ingredients, the Hall of Healing is the market leader, and holds fifty percent market share.    

The Farmers God Temple and the Pill King Garden shared the remaining half of the market.    

Although the three parties are engaged in fierce competition, they also respect the hidden rule of avoiding theft of businesses from each other in malicious ways.    

This is a principle that no one voices, but is a line that everyone adheres to.    

The third hallmaster smiled faintly. “Chairman Court Wang, I clearly heard you declare the end of your business relationship with the Jiang family now. If this is not the case, how can my Hall intervene? We all understand the rules of business. You no longer want to continue this deal, and therefore we agree to it. Nothing bad here, right?”    

The Hall of Healing was not wrong whether it was a set rule or a hidden rule.    

The court president had an ugly expression on his face. He had presented himself openly and destroyed his relationship with the Jiang family because he wanted to curry favor with the duke of Soaring Dragon.    

Business is the same no matter who they are doing business with. If the Long Family controlled the land with passion, then they would do business with the Duke of Soaring Dragon. There was not the slightest loss to the Pill King Garden, and they could actually use this opportunity to pave the way for a relationship with Soaring Dragon. There is only good to be gained, and there is no evil.    

Plus, he had calculated that even though he said that the Garden had banned the Jiang family, the Hall and the Temple would not take a step forward to take the business.    

After all, a business deal worth five million silver a year was not worth the risk of offending the duke of Soaring Dragon.    

The grand courtmaster did not take into account things that were beyond his control.    

Not only did the Hall of Healing advance, but they also increased the stakes and doubled the partnership rate. Their attitude was clear, they would support the Jiang family!    

The chief justice did not understand, he really did not understand. The Hall of Healing was extremely astute..is it worth getting a little advantage to offend the current Duke of Soaring Dragon?    

Could it be that the Hall of Healing was unable to comprehend even the smallest picture of the larger picture?    

Many guests were consciously gone, after seeing the Duke of Soaring Dragon's face darken with anger. The Duke intended to use this banquet to show off his wealth and power.    

But now, thanks to father Jiang's son duo and the additional participation of the Healing Hall, the Jiang family had turned into the face of Soaring Dragon.    

The situation is very strange.    

Whatever happens, the peace of the Eastern Kingdom will most likely be broken.    

Because, the Duke of Soaring Dragon was furious!    

The consequences of the anger of the first duke of the kingdom would be severe.    

As the representative of the royal family, Princess Gouyu felt complicated emotions. He was biased towards Jiang Chen, yet suddenly realized that this extremely arrogant and venomous-tongued person actually had some trace of a dominant aura and a slight backbone!    

Jiang Chen's aggressive talk, his ease in dealing with all sorts of noble elites, the mysterious intervention of the Healing Hall — all this forced Princess Gouyu to acknowledge him personally —    

Even he had been wrong about this Jiang Chen child before!    

When the banquet was over, the court chief stood outside the door and smiled coldly at Jiang Feng. “Jiang Feng, it's over for you and your son. Offending the duke of Soaring Dragon meant that the future of the Jiang family would be so difficult that it would be difficult even to take a single step forward.”    

“Chairman Court Wang, I'm actually curious. As a businessman, is being a dog for others and passionately giving way for others an interesting thing?”    

Jiang Chen chuckled as he passed by the Chief Justice with a contemptuous look.    

“Jiang Chen, bad boy, keep pacing. Time is running out.” Court Chief Wang gritted his teeth.    

“You're right, time is running out. Pill King Garden, heh heh...His kingdom may be vast, but it does not seem necessary three market participants in the field of spirit medicine.”    

Jiang Chen tried hard after conveying his words and ran away.    

Suffering from the brashness of Jiang Chen's arrogant demeanor, Court Chief Wang was so angry that he wanted to spit blood. It was a sad day.    

His business deal with the Jiang family ended up in vain, and he played the role of a criminal for free. There were no benefits gained at the end of the day, just a thorough lecture.    

Except, even if Court Chief Wang was a little unhappy, he did not dare to vent it on the duke of Soaring Dragon. Even if Duke Long was the main cause of the Pill King Garden to lose this partnership.    

“Ah, forget it. Business deals are just a small matter. His loss did not damage the foundation of my Pill King Garden. As for this Healing Hall, some items could still be saved from the situation if the Garden used them to offend Duke Long. We can take advantage of this opportunity to oppress them.”    

Court Chief Wang's thinking was very flexible when he thought of Duke Long's wide reach, and some people barely voiced out the rumors in some circles.    

The greater the influence of Soaring Dragon, the greater their threat to the Eastern Kingdom. And now, Miss Juxue had attracted the attention of the hidden sect.    

Later, the possibility of the Long family replacing the Eastern family and becoming king was not impossible.    

“Duke Long has big ideals. I hope today will be soon. At that time, the Garden was able to utilize the change of fate to defeat the Healing Hall powerfully and seize the main position in the field of spirit medicine within the kingdom. This was inevitable.” The mood of Court Chief Wang suddenly brightened as he thought of this.    

Jiang Feng's emotions slowly calmed down after they returned to the Jiang Han residence. Even though it feels nice to erupt like that today, there are still serious consequences.    

If they were only talking about their respective territories, the land of Jiang Han and Soaring Dragon was far apart so there was no need to fear Soaring Dragon.    

After all, without royal orders, war could not be announced just like that between dukes.    

But now that everyone was gathered in the capital, everyone knew that Duke Long's eyes and people were placed everywhere. He also dealt with various forces in the capital.    

Many officials in the palace also praised the Duke of Soaring Dragon as their brother.    

Jiang Feng smiled looking at Jiang Chen's serious expression. “Nak, you have guts. You have given a good face to your parents today.”    

“They said the tiger father did not give birth to a puppy. Old man, your appearance today is also quite strong.”    

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Chen with a meaningful smile. “Son, stop pretending and speak the truth. Why would the Hall of Healing come out and prop us up in such a situation?”    

“Everything under the sky gathers for profit. Everything under the sky is scattered for profit. Hall of Healing of course has reason to do just that.” Jiang Chen smiled. “Dad, I only have one line. The days of our Jiang family being ridiculed and ridiculed by others, hung like sheep being brought to slaughter have passed, forever!”    

Jiang Feng's eyes twinkled upon hearing those words. “Chen'er, many dukes are saying today that we are hiding our true strength and becoming wolves in sheep's clothing. Did you really hide your strength, and even cheat on your parents?”    

"Wolf in sheep's hair?" Jiang Chen grinned. “I think they think too much. Our Jiang family does not need sheep clothes, and they themselves are not tigers!”    

An unquestionable sense of pride could be gained from Jiang Chen's words. His confident smile made Jiang Feng suddenly feel that he was suddenly unable to see through his son.
