Ye Li nodded and said, "Many thanks to the heir. I've troubled the heir to make this trip. I hope that the Da Chu State can make the heir feel at home. "
Lei Tengfeng laughed loudly and said, "Of course, this little prince has admired the scenery of the Da Chu State for a long time. I will definitely take a good look around. Come, bring out the gift this heir has prepared for the Princess Consort of Ding. " Lightly clapping his hands, two men who looked like guards walked in. One of them was holding a long and narrow carved wooden box. Looking at the length and size of the box, Ye Li had a bad feeling. This gift probably wasn't a normal gift. Lei Tengfeng made a hand gesture, and the other man accepted the order and opened the wooden box. A burst of biting cold air greeted them. Minister Ye's face sank. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Heir, what do you mean by this?"
Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows and said in confusion, "This is the gift this little prince's father and uncle personally chose for the Princess Consort. Is there something wrong with it?"
Minister Ye said, "My daughter's wedding is imminent. What do you mean by giving her a sword?" A sword was a lethal weapon. It was inauspicious. Inside the intricately carved wooden box was a long sword with an ancient appearance. Even though it was still in the scabbard, one could still feel the cold light and killing intent. This was clearly a peerless treasure sword that had been tempered by a sea of blood.
"This is a gift that my country and my father specially found to show our sincerity. Or … … does everyone here really not know the origin of this sword? "Lei Tengfeng carelessly crossed his arms and looked at the people in front of him with a smile that wasn't a smile. Hearing the contempt in his tone, Mo Jingli's brows wrinkled. He stood up and looked at the sword in the box. Mu Rongting's heart moved. She looked at Ye Li with some hesitation.
"This is — — Cloud Grasping!" After a long time, Mo Jingli said in a deep voice.
Lei Tengfeng praised, "Li King has good eyes. That's right, this is the Cloud Grasping Sword."
Everyone was moved. This was not an ancient sword, but its reputation was definitely not inferior to any of the legendary swords. This sword had the same name as the first Prince, Mo Lanyun. It was the weapon that Mo Lanyun used to conquer the world. It was also the sword of Prince Ding for generations to come. This sword had followed successive Princes of the Kingdom Establishing Prince to gallop through the battlefields unrivaled. No one knew how many people's blood it had drunk. Until seven years ago, when the previous Prince Ding, Mo Xiuwen, died of an illness at the border, this sword also disappeared without a trace. Countless people searched for it openly and secretly, but they could not find a trace of it. This gift was indeed of sufficient weight and sincerity.
Lei Tengfeng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Ever since I found out that the Cloud Embracing Sword was missing, I don't know how much effort Father put into sending people everywhere to search for it. His hard work finally paid off. He found this sword in North Di one year ago. Just in time for Prince Ding's wedding, I'll return it to you. What do you think of Princess Ding? "
Minister Ye's face was a little dignified. He stood up and said to Lei Tengfeng, "I really have to thank you for such a generous gift." It was not an exaggeration to say that the Cloud Embracing Sword was the national treasure of Da Chu State. Minister Ye did not even dare to refuse Lei Tengfeng's gift. Minister Ye could not help but secretly regret that he did not refuse the visit of Prince Ding of Jhennam Of Gojoseon.
Lei Tengfeng nodded with satisfaction. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, when I obtained such a treasure, I also wanted to take it for myself. However, this Cloud Embracing Sword seemed to have a spirit. I spent countless efforts and still could not pull it out. In the end, although I found a first-class swordsmith to pull out the sword, it was a pity that the sword did not listen to me at all. Even the number one swordsman of West-Hill could not control it. I thought that this Cloud Embracing Sword might only belong to the King's Mansion. Therefore, I wanted to invite Princess Ding to test the sword. "
Minister Ye said unhappily, "My daughter does not know swordsmanship. Besides, if Prince Ding wants to test the sword, you should find Prince Ding."
Lei Tengfeng looked at Ye Li and said with a smile, "Is Princess Ding not a member of the King's Mansion? It is said that a hundred years ago, the first Princess Ding had killed sixteen enemies with this sword and saved Prince Ding's life. Since then, it has been passed down as a much-told story. It can be seen that this sword does not need the bloodline of the King's Mansion. It can be matched with Prince Ding's partner. What do you think, Princess Ding? " Before Ye Li opened her mouth, Mo Jingli snorted and said, "Infanta Qing Yun is a peerless woman with both pen and sword. It is not surprising that she can use the Cloud Embracing Sword. Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon wants Ye Li to use the Cloud Embracing Sword. Are you deliberately making things difficult for my Da Chu State? Who doesn't know that Ye Li can't even perform a complete set of swordsmanship? " Lei Tengfeng smiled. "This Prince believes in the judgment of the Ding King's household. Throughout the history of the Ding King's concubines, not a single one of them was not a stunning woman." Mo Jingli mocked. "This generation is an exception."
Murong Ting said unjustly, "Prince Zhennan, you want a woman who has never practiced martial arts to perform with a sword that you can't even pull out? Does West-Hill like to force people to do things? "
"Is it forcing people to do things? Why don't you ask Princess Ding? Father ordered that this sword must be given to Princess Ding. Is it possible that … I can only bring it back to West-Hill? "This was already a threat. Lei Tengfeng's meaning was obvious. If the future Princess Ding couldn't pull out the Cloud Embracing Sword and couldn't control it, then don't blame him for bringing the sword back to West-Hill. If that was the case, not to mention Great Chu's face, even its foundation would be lost.
"Third Sister, why don't you try? Maybe you can pull it out." Ye Ying said softly, "Prince Zhennan of West-Hill has given us such a valuable gift. If we don't accept it, won't we be rude to the neighboring country?" Minister Ye frowned and glanced at Ye Ying. He was thinking about whether Ye Li's refusal to pull out the sword or her inability to pull it out was more embarrassing.
"Prince Ding has arrived!" An announcement was made outside the door. Mo Xiuyao appeared at the gate with Ah Jin. Everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Murong Ting secretly winked at Ye Li.
Lei Tengfeng, who had been sitting in the chair casually, sat up straight the moment Mo Xiuyao came in. His eyes swept over Mo Xiuyao's calm and gentle face like a knife. Then he turned his head to look at Ye Li. Ye Li laughed in her heart. This Prince was probably evaluating whether the Cloud Embracing Sword was more important in Mo Xiuyao's heart or her, his fiancée. Why did Mo Xiuyao come?
"Greetings to Prince Ding. I, Lei Tengfeng, have heard a lot about you." Lei Tengfeng stood up and smiled.
"Prince Ding is too polite. I had the honor of seeing Jhennan King of Gojoseon when I was young. We haven't seen each other for many years. I'm sure Prince's style is still the same? "Mo Xiuyao lightly nodded in return. Lei Tengfei's eyes twitched. He quickly smiled and said, "Father is in good health. He often talks to me about Prince's style in the past. He hopes that I can imitate him." Mo Xiuyao's expression didn't change. He calmly said, "Prince is too kind. Now that I've seen Prince Ding, I know that Jhennan King of Gojoseon has a successor."
Seeing the two men in front of her chatting warmly in this tense atmosphere, Ye Li inexplicably wanted to laugh. She didn't know who it was that said diplomacy was a very feminine activity.
After the greetings, Mo Xiuyao moved his wheelchair to Ye Li's side. He softly said, "Li is in a good mood?"
Ye Li lightly smiled and said, "Jhennan King of Gojoseon sent a very precious gift. It just so happens that Prince is also here. How about we share it?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled and nodded. His gaze fell on the Embracing Cloud Sword in the box. His gaze was calm and without any ripples. It was as if there really was an ordinary sword in the box. He turned to Lei Tengfeng and said, "Your Majesty and Prince have troubled you. This sword has been lost for many years. I didn't expect to see it again today. "Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows and said," The Embracing Cloud Sword is Da Chu State's most precious treasure. It should be returned intact. I just don't know if I'll be able to see the glory of this famous sword. "
