Chapter Forty-Four: Down with Majesty

  Li Xie wore a smile on his face, he came to collect money and wealth, of course, with a smiling face, if not to dampen the morale of the envoy team's representatives, to cheat them, Li Xie would have come early to wait for these envoys, welcoming their... gold coins and fine wine!

  As soon as he entered the room, Li Xie's face fell!

  He has been in the imperial capital of Doudou for some time, and he is familiar with the etiquette of the nobility. For example, the arrangement of seats, the closer to the center, the higher the status, the closer to the door, the lower the status!

  Now all the high-ranking seats are occupied, and even the host seat is taken. This clearly shows that they look down on him, letting him sit in the lowest position among several people!

  Overawe at first glance?

  Hehe!

  Li Xie looked at El with a sullen face: "My dear attendant, where is the representative of the delegation?"

  "Sir, these five are... I'll introduce them to you, this is..."

  "Enough!" Li Xie shouted, sitting down directly on the chair at the door, and then shouted: "Damn it! I came to see the representative of the delegation, but I saw five piles of dung! How unlucky! El, don't you call someone to come up and clean up these piles of dung?"

  The delegation was called a "shit team", and the princes all understood the implication, glaring at each other in anger. Prince Reddis shouted: "How dare you! You dare to insult us princes?!"

  "Hey... " Li Xie's disdainful gaze floated over, and he sneered: "The feces have been shaped into a ball, how creative! El, what are you waiting for? Don't you dare to call someone to clean it up? I can see a large group of guards outside, do I need to personally give the order to clean up this kind of thing? How did you become a servant?"

  El stood by, his whole body already drenched in cold sweat!

  Although Li Xie's behavior towards the arrogant princes, who looked down on others, made Erl very relieved, the problem was that these people were representatives of the Five Nations' delegation, and doing so might bring great trouble to the royal court!

  Especially such an order as to drive out the princes, where would Erl dare to give it?

  Could only smile wryly and sweat coldly, stunned on the side.

  "How dare you!" Prince Redith's face was red with rage, pointing at Li Xie and shouting: "Your insults and disrespect, I will definitely tell Emperor Tudou, let him punish your crime! See if you still dare to be arrogant!"

  "What a racket!" Li Xie was very displeased and loudly shouted: "Who's there?"

  Twenty guards rushed in from outside the room, these were the elite of the Imperial Guard who had been sent to protect the delegation and its representatives, and the twenty who came in were the elite among the elite!

  Li Xie waved his hand: "Kill these fake envoys on the spot, don't leave a single one!"

  Huh!

  Five princes changed color immediately!

  Even Lian Er was shocked silly in an instant!

  He also thought that Li Xie was just coming to show off and give these princes a warning, but unexpectedly, Li Xie actually gave such an order!

  And Er more clearly, these guards do not think about anything, they only listen to the orders of the highest position, say kill, and directly kill, regardless of whether these envoys are true or false! The duke says it's fake, they think it's fake, and never ask questions or doubt!

  This is no joking matter! If these princes are really killed, the consequences...

  Ai'er didn't dare think about it anymore, and for a moment he was stunned, his mind went blank, and he couldn't react at all!

  The guards indeed paid no attention to others. The evil duke gave an order and they immediately revealed a fierce light in their eyes, ready to take action and kill!

  These princes are not very powerful, and the high-ranking followers are not allowed to bring them up to the third floor. They are currently on the second floor. In addition, these twenty guards are not ordinary forbidden troops. To ensure the safety of the envoy's representative, they were all elites. Each of the twenty was at least a sixth-level summoner! The momentum almost scared the princes into wetting their pants!

  "Halt! I am indeed an ambassador! I am Prince Radish!"

  "I am Prince Musaka!"

  "I am Prince Hudson! Representative of the Lancaster Imperial Envoy!"

  "I am the Prince of Texas!"

  "I am Prince Gideon!"

  Several princes were almost frightened to tears and hastily introduced themselves.

  "Slow down, back off." Li Xie burst out laughing: "Damn prince? The Great Day Dynasty's envoy representative?"

  "I am, I am Prince Gideon." Prince Gideon hastily said.

  Li Xie didn't really want to kill these princes, he was just pretending and making a show of it. If the princes had been even more arrogant, Li Xie would have been the one to back down. But unfortunately for him, these princes were definitely going to be more afraid of death than he was! The reason is simple: as members of royalty, they were used to being pampered and spoiled, and therefore couldn't stand being frightened or shocked.

  He ordered the guards to stand on either side of him, and then slowly said: "I've heard that this time, the representatives of the delegation are all princes, who understand etiquette, elegant and profound noble models. Are you really princes? Are you really representatives of the delegation? I don't think so, at least the representative of the delegation should know to leave a position for me, and not let me sit by the door, is it cooler and more ventilated?"

  Prince Reddis looked embarrassed, and the other princes' faces were not very natural either. After a brief moment of silence, Prince Reddis let out a forced laugh: "We were just sitting casually because the Duke hadn't arrived yet. Now that he's here, we should naturally distinguish between main and secondary roles."

  Having finished speaking, he hastily stood up, and the other princes also got up, each taking their respective seats according to their status, leaving a vacant main seat.

  Li Xie smiled contentedly and walked over to the main seat, saying: "Aier, help me change this chair. This one is dirty."

  "You!" Prince Reddys' anger flared up again, but with the guards still in the room, he didn't dare to act out and could only endure it.

  Ai Hui came back to his senses and saw that the princes were angry but didn't dare speak, their expressions completely different from before. He couldn't help but admire the cleverness of Duke Li Ye, and quickly changed seats with him.

  Li Xie sat down, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled the guards to leave. As soon as the twenty guards left, the pressure in the room seemed to decrease significantly, and all the princes unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, their pride as princes growing once again.

  Prince Ge Rite's mouth corners rose, as if thinking of a plan. He stood up in a rage and said: "This prince is not here to be bullied by you all! Hmph! A dignified prince being insulted and threatened, it's simply the greatest shame! Is this the way you people of Doudou treat your guests?! This prince won't come again! Farewell!"

  He spoke with righteous indignation, but in fact he was also speaking to the other princes, who felt the same way and were all red-faced and furious, their buttocks lifted off their chairs as if ready to get up and leave together!

  "Oh...I see." Li Xie's tone was extremely calm: "Take your time, I won't see you off."

  Wow!

  How can you bear to let me go?

  Like this, offending a national delegation, spreading the word, what face does the Tudor dynasty have left? It will only make people say that the Tudor dynasty is ignorant of etiquette and barbaric! It must be infuriating His Majesty Tudor to shift his anger onto this diplomatic reception officer!

  But this diplomatic reception officer seems to care nothing about it!

  Gede Wangzi's eight-character mustache twitched, and Li Xie's reaction was beyond his expectations!

  The other princes who were also preparing to leave stopped in their tracks. Li Xie's reaction was beyond their expectations!

  Even Erl was sweating profusely: Your Highness! Can't you persuade him to stay? This is equivalent to driving away an entire diplomatic mission! They won't leave, it's so humiliating! And if things go wrong, the five-nation delegation will really walk out together. How will our kingdom be viewed by others? When the time comes, His Majesty will blame me, ah, His Majesty will definitely not blame you, I'll be the one to suffer! The God of the Earth is above, my life as a royal attendant is so bitter! It's basically being used as a scapegoat!

  Li Xie didn't think that far, what impoliteness and arrogance, he simply hadn't thought of it, his logic was very simple: these envoys came to Doudou with a certain purpose, not because Doudou invited them!

  Now they want to leave, indicating that their purpose cannot be achieved, and they are going back home. Those who will be punished for sure are them! As for Doudou, what's the point of bothering him?

  So, whatever prince wants to leave, Li Xie will absolutely not stop him!

  Of course, it's not possible to say no to blocking!

  "Look at Ge De Wangzi, wanting to leave but not leaving. Li Xie impatiently said: "Not leaving yet? Remember that the person who called you paid for the hotel, and on our side, eating a tyrant's meal means being beaten to death directly! Oh, right, I just received news that there are many bandits on your way back home, so I'm kindly reminding you to be careful."

  Robber?

  Is Duke Ye still here? How did I receive such news? Why didn't Your Majesty inform me?

  Ail heard a head of fog water, Prince Gede was urged by Li Xie, and if he didn't leave, he would be too ashamed. So he walked away in anger!

  He had only taken two steps when Li Xie said, "Er, go and instruct a team of guards to disguise themselves as bandits. Follow that dog of a prince and once they leave Dutton, rob them of their belongings and kill everyone. We'll split the spoils seven to three, I get seven, you get three."

  Wow!

  Ahh, I see! So that's how you received the message! It was actually ordered by Duke Ye himself!

  And, Your Excellency, you can't play like this! Even if you want to pretend to be a bandit, you can't say it in front of others! This...this is a serious crime of murdering foreign envoys! I won't take the blame for this!

  Ai Er felt that his heart was filled with tears!

  What a ridiculous scam! There were also several princes who said in front of them that they would rob them, what kind of joke is this?

  But several princes did not think that the evil duke was joking, just like when he called the guards in, his expression, really dared to beat them to death on the spot! If they dare to do this, why don't they dare to ask someone to pretend to be a thief and kill people?

  Gede Wangzi also understood this, and the footsteps outside the door stopped. He was forced to leave in order to regain his dignity, but if he stayed, it would be a great shame for him! But he had to consider one thing: what's more important, dignity or life?

  And Li Xie, this guy is like that, if others are good to him, he will be good to others, if others bully him, he will go crazy and bite back even harder! Just like when Zainou Nad pulled his arm, he would fight to the death to bite back a mouthful.

  Honest fool's temper!

  It's all because these princes shouldn't have given Li Xie a chance to show off his skills!

  Li Xie coldly watched him, only making a cold laugh!

  Who's more intimidating?
