Have three parts
After sending away Wu Qian and Hong Yu, Feng Ming suddenly heard a strange grunt.
After thinking about it, he’s laughing out loud, it turns out that he’s hungry.
No wonder, after getting up, there’s one thing after another, not to mention eating, even to drink water he has no time. Usually there’s Qiu Lan around to remind him and advise, but now each and everyone have great things to do.
Feng Ming laughs as he walks out of the room.
Rong Hu is still studying the model on the table in the inner room, when he looked up he saw Feng Ming wandering around the yard, he steps out and asks, “What is Duke Ming looking for?”
Feng Ming looks around. “Where is the kitchen?”
Rong Hu changes color on his face and says, “Hasn’t Duke Ming eaten yet? Damn it! This subordinate is out of his head, he didn’t even think of it.”
Feng Ming is both Xirei’s Duke Ming and Xiao family’s Young Master, of course there are more than a few maids and guards, but not everyone can handle his diet. But not everyone can handle his diet. If Qiu Lan and Rong Hu not to pay attention, they might be starved him.
If anyone say it at this time, it will definitely become a big joke.
Feng Ming sees Rong Hu as if he were facing an archenemy, hurriedly run down the stairs, pulls him, and gently says, “Do you know where the kitchen is? It’s coincidence, go with me and steal something delicious.”
Rong Hu is obviously in a bad mood, he says with a calm face, “That kind of place is dirty, what is Duke Ming going to do? Qiu Lan and others are really.. wait for the Great King to come back, see how they will explain.”
Feng Ming is about to tell Rong Hu not to mention Rong Tian, but there seems to be movement behind him, looking back, a guard of Xiao family come over and reports to Feng Ming. Manager Luo comes back with a man who looks like a craftsman, saying that he’s rarely seen. Does the young master see them now?”
“They’re here?” Feng Ming overjoys.
Rong Hu says next to him, “Please ask them to wait in the living room, Duke Ming will come after eating.”
“No, i’ll see them now,” Feng Ming says flatly.
Eating is a trivial thing, but talent is the big thing.
The person brought by Luo Deng may be a great weapon makerwho can make a name in history, how can he be neglected?
Although he hasn’t figured out a specific method of the “corporal Li Xian”, at least he must let the other party feel sincerely enthusiast.
Feng Ming plans in his mind how to give the other party a good impression, after only one step, he was stopped by Rong Hu.
While stopping him, Rong Hu turns his head and tells the Xiao family’s guard, “I’m in charge here, you go to see Luo Deng first and let them wait in the living room.”
“Wow! Who says you’re in charge here?” Feng Ming was stopped by him and he couldn’t walk again, he pokes his head out and threatens the guard. “Don’t go, I’m the Xiao Family’s Young Master. Come here and help me get Rong Hu off.”
Rong Hu says, “Why don’t you go? Also, Qiu Lan and others are all gone, you find someone to call them back immediately, get busy with those widgets after they’ve done their job.”
“Don’t go!”
“Hurry up.”
That Xiao family’s bodyguard is also very unlucky, after receiving the order of the Young Master, he looks at Rong Hu again and stands in a dilemma.
Rong Hu also knows that he’s in a difficult position, so he put it another way, “Or you get Luo Yun over here.”
Luo Yun’s status in the eyes of the Xiao family seems to be much higher than Feng Ming. As soon as Rong Hu mentioned Luo Yun, the man nods, turns and runs away.
Seeing that the subordinate of the Xiao family are so disobedient, Feng Ming stomps his feet angrily and glares at Rong Hu in bewildered, “Rong Hu, what’s wrong with you? The person I want to meet is very important to Rong Tian. I am serious, but not exaggerating.”
He would not be surprised if it was someone else who committed such a transgression. But it turned out to be the most compliant Rong Hu, which was a bit unbelievable. Feng Ming glares at Rong Hu for a long time, then his expression softened and asks tentatively. “Well, do you have any thoughts about this or do you have something to remind me that’s why you let me stay? Rong Hu, we all know each other so well, just say what you have to say.”
“This subordinate hopes that Duke Ming has done important things first.”
Feng Ming becomes serious, “What’s important?”
“Eat first.”
Feng Ming rolls his eyes and says with a wry smile, “Are you kidding me? I’m being serious with you.”
Rong Hu is strictly impartial and incorruptible, he scrupulously says, “Does Duke Ming think this subordinate is joking?”
He’s so serious that Feng Ming has to rein in his wry smile, looks at him strangely and asks after a long while. “Hey, it’s just eating late, you don’t have to be so serious, right? I’m more or less Duke Ming, at least give me some face. Besides, what you just did, it seems…. a bit offended.”
Feng Ming rarely oppresses people with power, he’s even more rare to plainly threaten people, while talking, he carefully observed Rong Hu’s face, and he feels quite guilty.
Yet not a single nerve moved on Rong Hu’s face. “This subordinate dare not to offend.”
Feng Ming stares.
Open his eyes and talk nonsense!
“Make way, I’m going to see Luo Deng.”
Rong Hu blocks in front of him like an iron plate. “Duke Ming can see anyone he wants after dinner.”
The good temper Feng Ming, now is all angry.
In the past, he was careless about small things and didn’t know the general situation so he deserved to be scolded.
Nowadays, he is looking at the overall situation, not fooling around, it’s just a meal, is it worth being such overly sensitive?
“Rong Hu, are you serious?”
“Duke Ming doesn’t care about his body, so this subordinate has to perform his duties.”
“If you fulfill your duties, can you not take my words seriously?”
“This subordinate doesn’t dare to not to take Duke Ming’s words seriously, but whenever Duke Ming ignores his order, this subordinate will ignore his order.”
Boy, I can’t believe you talk back one sentence after another.
Feng Ming stares dryly.
Sure enough, good horses are to be ridden and good people are to be bullied.
(t/n: 马善被人骑，人善被人欺: mǎ shàn bèi rén qí, rén shàn bèi rén qī. The phrase has same ‘Qi’ pronunciation but different meaning 骑/Qi means ride, 欺/Qi means bullied/deceived)
“Ignore my order?” Feng Ming is furious. “You are my bodyguard, don’t you obey my orders?”
“Depend on the imperial edict.”
“What?” Feng Ming heart thumped for a moment and stupefied, “Whose Imperial Edict?”
“The King of Xirei’s imperial edict.”
A bad omen…
Feng Ming’s volume immediately tone down and he asks tentatively, “Rong Tian?”
Rong Hu nods.
“He gave you the imperial edict?”
Rong Hu nods again.
Feng Ming’s volume is even lower, “Uh… when was it?”
“This morning.”
Feng Ming is curious, “That… don’t know what’s written on it?”
“The imperial edict said that regarding to the comfort of Duke Ming’s body, the imperial guard Rong Hu can do his duties as he thinks fit. In case of a dispute, everyone in Xirei will take orders from Rong Hu.” Rong Hu calmly says, “The imperial edict is here under this subordinate. If Duke Ming insists on seeing it, this subordinate can take it out.”
“No need……”
Feng Ming is neither laughing nor crying, he can only shake his head. This guy Rong Tian, made such an edict before leaving, it’s clear that he doesn’t trust him.
After scratching his head gloomily, Feng Ming suddenly thinks of something and says doubtfully, “Are you angry about that poison thingy?”
Rong Hu thinks for a while and nods honestly.
Feng Ming approaches a little and asks in a low voice, “I invited the fake Du Feng on board and left his jade flute with me, Rong Tian mind very much uh?”
Rong Hu nods heavily.
Feng Ming sticks out his tongue.
Be careful when looking for a lover, unless as a last resort, do not look for a Great King. When he’s eating vinegar, not only he says a few words of protest, he can actually give you an imperial edict and improve the supervision level.
Rong Tian, you’re vinegar barrel…
Rong Hu doesn’t sympathize with Feng Ming at all and adds in a low voice, “Duke Ming doesn’t eat and sleep on time, doesn’t take care of his body, the Great King also cares very much.”
Feng Ming says suddenly, “I see. I’ll eat before I go to see Luo Deng and others.”
With the imperial edict’s in his hand, Rong Hu is absolutely unstoppable.
Feng Ming shakes his head and follows Rong Hu to the inner room, and just before the entrance, Luo Yun has come in a hurry and he was chased by the breathless Qiu Yue behind him.
“Young Master.” Luo Yun is behind them, waiting for them to turn around, and asks Rong Hu, “Rong Hu, did you send someone to call me?”
Rong Hu says, “It’s all right. Just now Duke Ming insisted on going to see Luo Deng in hunger.”
There’s a sudden gasping sound from the side.
Qiu Yue opens her round and dark eyes, as if terribly frightened, she covers her mouth and gasps for breath, “It’s over! Duke Ming hasn’t eaten anything yet. I’ll get ready now!” Turning around, she quickly runs down the stairs.
Feng Ming looks at Qiu Yue’s back, and cup his hands toward Emperor Rong Hu for a couple of times, and says, “Please, I know you have the imperial edict and you’re the boss. It’s just a meal, I won’t starve to death, I am really embarrassed to make such an exaggeration.”
Just then he saw Wu Qian was tense about Hong Yu, thinking that it was tremendous enough. Who knows what falls on his own head is called reaching the great heights.
(t/n: 登峰造极 reach the great heights: means to reach the top, to reach the highest point, reach the highest level)
With his stern face Luo Yun also sweeps the corner of his eyes, Feng Ming complaints, “Luo Yun, don’t look at me like that, I’m really innocent, the one who makes a fuss is Rong Hu, he still has a damn imperial edict in his hand, Rong Tian gave me no choice. I am the young master of the Xiao family, with iron bones i’m not afraid of knives and swords, should i afraid of starving? All right, I won’t bother you to copy books for Qiu Yue. Go back.” He waves to let Luo Yun to go back.
How can Luo Yun be dismissed by Feng Ming in a few words, he’s standing there, looking at Feng Ming with cold eyes, he says slowly with a warning tone, “Rong Hu is right, please Young Master take care of yourself. By the way, I would like to remind young master that if young master ignores his own body in the future, this subordinate may step in to teach the young master a lesson.”
“What?” Feng Ming lost his voice and cries out, “Aren’t you Xiao family’s people? Since when did you start listening to the King of Xirei’s edict?”
“I listen to the edict of the master of Xiao family.”
Feng Ming’s voice is suddenly out of tune, “The master of Xiao family?”
“Yes, it’s young master’s father, the edict of the most powerful master of Xiao family.”
Feng Ming almost vomited blood and lookz at Luo Yun pitifully. “Don’t tell me, my dad suddenly cared for me and even set a rule on whether i eat on time every day.”
“No.”
That’s better. Feng Ming breaths a sigh of relief before asking, “What the hell is that written on the edict of the master of Xiao family?”
“Lady Yaoye asked the young master to follow the orders of The King of Xirei, not to do anything that might harm his body, even more must not to be willful, this subordinate is the leader of young master’s personal guards. As long as he felt necessary, he could perform the family law on behalf of The Lady.”
“Family… Family Law?” Feng Ming takes a breath and touches his ears in fear.
After a short while, Feng Ming suddenly thinks of something, his eyes suddenly flash and reminds him, “Hey! Luo Yun, you have been confused, this is just my mom’s wish, she is not the master of Xiao family, and at best can only be regarded as the wife of the master of Xiao family, in fact, she can’t command you. You only take orders from the master of Xiao family, right?” He looks at Luo Yun hopefully.
Luo Yun looks back at him, his thin lips raised a little and a smirk of cold smile come out, “Report to Young Master, the letter was delivered to this subordinate this morning. Although it’s Lady Yaoye’s handwriting, it’s stamped with the seal of the master of Xiao Family’s. Don’t you think it’s the edict of the master of Xiao family?”
This time Feng Ming is completely stupefied.
Probably yesterday, Lady Yaoye and Rong Tian were chatting privately in the room to discussed how to deal with him.
Oh my god!
What bad thing did he do? But I just accidentally got poisoned and haven’t poisoned all, just half of it…
He’s the most innocent victim, isn’t he?
Feng Ming froze for a long time, showing an expression of neither cry nor laugh, looking at Rong Hu and then Luo Yun, “Everyone join up to teach me a lesson because of that poison, right?”
Both guards look at him with the same expression.
After all, Rong Hu is still more emotional than Luo Yun, after looking at Feng Ming for a while, he sighs and shakes his head, then asks, “Aih, Duke Ming, do you know how many people being scared by you the last time?”
At this moment, there’s the sound of hasty footsteps not far away.
