"Is this the young man you told me about the commander?" queen Sie Qian asked Wei Fang.

"Right Queen, this is Tian Yuan Official's son!" replied Wei Fang.

"I've heard all your prowess from the commander-in-chief! Thank you for coming here to see me!" said Sie Qian while beside her was a six-year-old boy playing hand.

The child was Zhi Lian Yu, usually called Lian Yu. He was the Crown Prince as well as the sole heir of the Wu Kingdom.

"Official Yuan! It is a boon for you to have such a great son, if he were to become the Commander in Chief of this Kingdom, our Kingdom would be even stronger!"

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's praise!" replied Yuan Xia.

"You don't need to be that reckless as Yuan's official, after all His Highness used to be very close to you, and if you don't mind, will you replace Yong Shing's position as the palace's advisor?"

Yuan Xia was surprised to hear Sie Qian's request, he did not immediately agree because he also needed another opinion.

"Servant Yuan, just accept the Queen Mother's goodwill! After all, only you deserve to be an advisor to the traitor Yong Shing!" said one of the council.

"Yuan, we actually discussed the matter last night, we all agreed that we would make you Yong Shing's successor, so accept it!" said Wei Fang.

Hearing that Yuan Xia became confused, however, he was afraid that he would get scorn from the public who would accuse him of indeed intending to seize the office of Yong Shing so that he would be accused of slandering Yong Shing as a traitor in order to replace his position.

"Secretary Yuan, everyone already knows the nature of Yong Shing, so there's no way people will accuse you of being a nondescript!" said Ying Lo who understood Yuan Xia's thoughts.

Yuan Xia was increasingly confused as to what kind of action, whether he was happy or not, but since everyone present had already agreed, then even Yuan Xia would not be able to refuse him anymore.

"Officer Yuan, I hereby appoint you as the chief advisor of the kingdom, accept the mark of office and the respect of all of us!" said Sie Qian.

Two soldiers immediately came with clothes and an advisory hat on a golden tray and handed over to Yuan Xia.

Feeling no other choice, Yuan Xia inevitably had to accept it, and that day Yuan Xia officially replaced Yong Shing as the main advisor to the kingdom.

"Now we will discuss the matter of Yong Shing! Tian, I already know from Commander Wei what your plan is."

Sie Qian explained that Tian Feng did not need to go to Yama Denji's place to look for the existence of the two traitors who were already fugitives.

Sie Qian explained that he had already deployed many spies for those who were experts in infiltrating, it had even been spread throughout the territory of the Wu Kingdom, including in the Three Flowers Organization.

Therefore Tian Feng did not need to bother investigating until he had to enter the enemy's lair, because sooner or later the two fugitives would definitely be found.

"This is not only your problem, but it is also our kingdom's problem, so I ask that we take care of it!" said Sie Qian.

"His Majesty the Queen! I'm sorry if I'm sassy, but this problem is huge and the risk is also huge! If until the intruders and spies sent were known to them, then the life of the intruder would be in danger!" said Tian Feng.

"You don't have to worry, the intruders and spies that are being spread are professional warriors, this is already their expertise in infiltrating and also gathering information!" replied Sie Qian.

"Then what's the point of me coming here?" inner Tian Feng who felt his arrival following the meeting was useless.

"Tian! Do you have another show after this?" asked Wei Fang.

"For now there is no one! However, if my family is completely safe, I will probably go to Jiu Kingdom in about five days!" replied Tian Feng.

"You want to go to Jiu Kingdom? What do you want to go there? Jiu Kingdom is so far away, it would take at least months if you went there, not to mention your mother would definitely not allow you!"

The surprised Yuan Xia immediately questioned the reason Tian Feng wanted to go to Jiu Kingdom. Yuan Xia was also convinced that Lie Yie would definitely not agree if she knew Tian Feng's plan.

"Dad, I'll discuss this at home! If it's Mom's problem, I'll explain it to her myself!" replied Tian Feng.

"If you want to go there, you must bring a cover letter with the Royal seal so that later you are not considered a wild and illegal citizen" said Ying Lo.

"Just calm down, I'll prepare everything!" Sie Qian replied.

"Thank you, Queen!" Tian Feng paid his respects as a sign of his gratitude.

"Tian, come with me actually! I want to talk to you about something important!" said Wei Fang inviting Tian Feng.

Tian Feng nodded then the two of them permission to retreat to Sie Qian and go out leaving all of them feeling confused seeing Wei Fang.

"Tian! Tomorrow you're going with me to the Grave of the Thousand Swords?" asked Wei Fang.

"To the Grave of a Thousand Swords? What business is the Commander on...!?"

Tian Feng was speechless as he recalled something that he had almost forgotten.

"There will be a match that will be held every Thirty Years, there will be a match to find out who is the strongest at the same time who will be recognized as the strongest Swordsman of the ten warriors, even up to the Five strongest Swordsmen," Wei Fang said.

Although Wei Fang did not explain it clearly, but Tian Feng himself actually also knew of the Swordsman Competition to try out their knowledge as well as vying to become the strongest.

"Commander! I'm not interested in going there!" replied Tian Feng.

"It's okay Tian, actually I really hope you participate in the match, because there will be a Swordsman you have faced!" said Wei Fang.

Wei Fang's intention was Taiyan Zin the Sissy Swordsman as well as one of the leaders of the Three Flowers Organization.

Tian Feng was silent for a moment, he remembered that if his affairs with Taiyan Zin had not been completed, "Alright Commander, tomorrow I will go there!" said Tian Feng.

Wei Fang smiled widely because he was pleased, Wei Fang's real intention was to introduce Tian Feng to all the great warriors who would be present there.

"I can't wait to get there quickly and see everyone's reaction when I find out that there are now new Swordsmen of the younger generation who are the most powerful Swordsmen in the entire Wu Kingdom," inner Wei Fang while smiling widely.

"Tian! Are you sure you're going with that guy?" ask Zanxi.

"of course! Especially there'll be someone who still has a problem with me!" tian Feng replied.then he would no longer care about Zanxi's Nagging.

***

With Lie Yie's permission, Tian Feng went along with Wei Fang to the Grave of the Thousand Swords to follow the match.

Lie Yie did not mind because Lie Yie realized that Tian Feng was no longer a child, let alone that he was a swordsman, Lie Yie was sure Tian Feng could definitely take care of himself.

They were not just alone but three with Zang Yang, of course this was an opportunity for Zang Yang to try out his new strength, as long as his opponent was not one of the Five strongest Swordsmen, as long as his opponent was not one of the Five strongest Swordsman, Zang Yang was confident of being able to seize one of the ten strongest Swordsman positions.

The journey to the Grave of the Thousand Swords did not take long because it was located close to the city of Xanhuo, at most only a day and a night on horseback, as for Tian Feng it might only take a moment if he flew.

However, they could not go there without a break, while Tian Feng could not just fly because he did not want Wei Fang and Zang Yang to know if he actually had the ability.

After exiting Xanhuo City and passing through entering the Forest, the three of them rested there at once overnight.

"Teacher Zang! Tonight we drink wine first, I happen to bring two, one for tonight and another when I return to the palace!" said Wei Fang.

Zang Yang did not reject Wei Fang's invitation because he did like drinking wine, "Tian, come have a drink with us here!" bring Wei Fang.

"Good!" tian Feng replied with a big smile.

It had been a very long time since Tian Feng had never drank wine, and this was the first time Tian Feng would drink again after he felt he was old enough.

"Have you ever had a drink before?" asked Wei Fang.

"Yes..! Eee I mean, yeah I've never had wine!" replied Tian Feng.

"Then you can only drink a little, because it's the first time you've ever had alcohol!" said Wei Fang.

"Tian! Didn't you master the style of Drunk God, then how do you practice the style of Drunk God with senior Mao?" ask Zang Yang.

"I'm just trained in motion without alcohol!" replied Tian Feng.

"Owh so it is! It's only fitting that you never use drunkenness" Wei Fang said.

"Absolutely the Commander, drunkenness will only be stronger and perfect when used in a half-drunk state!"

Wei Fang who first drank the wine was then handed over to Zang Yang, after Zang Yang took two gulps, Zang Yang handed it over to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng who sensed the smell of Wei Fang's wine was already impatient to gulp it down immediately, and as soon as he thrust the wine into his mouth, Tian Feng gulped down a single gulp.

Tian Feng's eyes bulged before finally coughing in choking, "Uhuk..! Uhuk..! Uhuk-uhuk..!"

Wei Fang and Zang Yang laughed at Tian Feng choking on the wine, "Tian Feng's slow-witted, this wine is not cheap wine that you can drink like water!" said Wei Fang.

Tian Feng who was still coughing also knew that the wine he was drinking was not cheap wine.

Arak that has the best quality is very hard, even if one drop touches the tongue, the hatching will disappear before it can be swallowed.

One of the advantages of quality wine can also be proven by being burned, if it turns on and the color of the fire is somewhat bluish, then the wine is original and quality wine.

Once the wine goes into the throat, then the nose will feel hot, so loud that it must close the eyes and let out tears.

"Sorry, I'm not used to it yet!" said Tian Feng.

Despite his apology, Tian Feng instead of returning the wine to Wei Fang, he drank again because the first gulp he had wasted.

Tian Feng sipped the wine slowly, and after two gulps, he handed the wine bottle to Wei Fang.

"The warm feeling was immediately felt from within Tian Feng's stomach, the warm feeling immediately rose to the ground so that the cold night wind would not be felt at all.

The three of them told each other while drinking the wine in turn, and Tian Feng would drink after Zang Yang and Wei Fang had already drunk two rounds.

That is, Tian Feng could one round of drinking after Wei Fang and Zang Yang had two rounds of drinking, so the drinking rule was two to one.

After the wine was bottled up, the three of them both rested near the bonfire, because it was late at night they did not want to wake up late.

Wei Fang and Zang Yang both laid down as they were both half-drunk, whereas Tian Feng preferred to sit in meditation until morning came.
