One had to say, if it wasn't for the fact that Lin Hanqing was naturally a tough nut to crack, any other duke would likely be unable to withstand such a situation.
However, Lin Hanqing shook his head resolutely. "All of you don't need to say anymore. Everyone knows how to say nice things. If I were to ask you to gouge out your flesh and dig out your hearts, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so generous or have such a high level of awareness. "
While they were in a deadlock, Owner Wang of the Fragrant Medicine House coldly laughed, "Marquis Lin, through our cooperation with the Purple Marquis over the past two years, we have discovered that their ability to nurture elixirs far surpasses yours. As for the spirit herbs you cultivated, they couldn't reach our standards. Therefore, after discussion among the upper echelons of the Fragrant Medicine House, we've finally unanimously decided that we will not accept any spirit medicine from the Zhenyuan territory in the future. The previous cooperation between our two houses will also end here. "
When these words were spoken.
Lin Hanqing's expression immediately changed.
The reason why he was so stubborn and unwilling to rent this half spirit vein territory to the Duke of Soaring Dragon was because of his partnership with the Pill King Garden.
From this relationship, he could reap considerable profits every year.
But now, the boss of the Fragrant Medicine House had personally spoken that they would end their partnership and ban all spirit medicine from the Zhenyuan territory!
This was taking drastic measures to deal with the problem.
Lin Hanqing asked hoarsely, "Landlord, do you really have to be so ruthless?"
The landlord of the Fragrant Medicine House said faintly, "A wise man submits to circumstances! Duke Lin, your mistake is that you've always been ignorant of the situation and unable to see the situation clearly. "
How was this persuasion?
This was obviously knocking on Lin Hanqing's head.
Lin Hanqing had actually been holding back the evil fire in his belly for a long time. The landlord's words finally ignited the anger he'd suppressed for a long time.
The anger he'd suppressed for a long time exploded in an instant. Lin Hanqing suddenly stood up from his seat and laughed loudly, "Good, good! All of you put on an act, but are actually scheming as barbaric bandits! "
"Let me tell you, I, Lin Hanqing, am not a Bodhisattva made of clay! I can earn less money, or even not earn at all, but one must have a backbone. I, Lin Hanqing, will not sell this backbone even if it costs half a tael! "
"The Fragrant Medicine House is it? Want to ban my Zhenyuan Duke? Doesn't matter! Even if I use that half spirit vein's land to rear pigs, I won't let you bandits get away with it! "
Lin Hanqing erupted. His eruption was very sudden and very thorough!
It turned out that the feeling of exploding was so good.
Lin Hanqing felt that all the resentment in his stomach had been vented out at this moment.
Following his outburst, the entire banquet suddenly became incomparably quiet again.
In an instant, the entire banquet fell into a dead silence.
No one had expected that he would not hesitate to fight to the death with the Purple Robed Marquis.
For a moment, several marquises who were on good terms with Zhenyuan Hou were worried for Lin Hanqing.
It was said that some time ago, the Zhenyuan Marquis residence had suffered an earth-shattering assassination attempt and suffered heavy casualties. It was already like a candle flickering in the wind, difficult to continue. If they offended the Purple Marquis, how could they survive?
The neutral dukes all lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Lin Hanqing. He was afraid that Purple Marquis would mistakenly think that he supported Lin Hanqing and bring about a fatal disaster.
However, the Eldest Princess, Dongfang Moyu, surprisingly did not express her opinion. She only sipped her tea lightly, as if she was watching a good show from the sidelines.
The reaction of Lin Hanqing and the Eldest Princess, while shocking the Purple Robed Marquis, was slightly relieved.
In his opinion, as long as the Eldest Princess didn't make a move to stop him, Lin Hanqing would only temporarily lose his reason. With his threats and promises, Lin Hanqing would sooner or later understand the logic of a single tree being unable to hold up the ground. What kind of waves could he cause?
However, amidst this silence, a voice suddenly rang out.
A cold voice rang out, "Well scolded, you scolded to your heart's content! As expected of the Zhenyuan Marquis, as expected of a loyal descendant. I am curious, you so-called dukes, so-called nobles. Do you really not have a single hard bone in your body? "
"The territory of our Eastern Kingdom, the people, must be defended by you spineless, mediocre people who only know how to curry favor?"
"Do you not have the slightest bit of dignity as a noble, a minister, a pillar of the country? Apart from currying favor, bullying the good and fearing the evil, you really can't do anything else? "
"Your ability is only left with helping the tiger do evil, supporting the strong and stepping on the weak, suppressing your colleagues, robbing your colleagues of their territory, and plundering their interests?"
Everyone looked over and found that it was Jiang Tian, who was sipping his wine while "spouting nonsense".
For a moment, many marquises were shocked and angry, and also a little ashamed.
But the Marquis of Shanshui shouted excitedly again, "Bastard. You, a rogue cultivator from outside the river, a mere refugee from the remote countryside, are you qualified to spout nonsense here? Get out! "
"This kid, don't spout nonsense all day long, and act without any manners!"
But Dongfang Moyu's beautiful eyes bloomed with splendor, and she looked at Jiang Tian with gentle ripples.
She only felt that Jiang Tian's words were incomparably pleasing to the ear, like listening to heavenly music, too pleasant to listen to.
What did Jiang Tian mean by these words?
The alliance of dukes!
Powerful dukes annexed and devoured the weak dukes!
For dukes like the Purple Robed Marquis and the Duke of Beijiang to become more and more powerful, it was not a good thing. This was a situation that could threaten the rule of the imperial family, and it was also the point that the Dongfang Imperial Family hated the most.
It seemed that she suddenly felt that this sharp-tongued fellow, this lecher who spoke without restraint, was not so abominable.
Therefore, when she was interrupted by the Marquis of Shanshui, Dongfang Moyu was immediately enraged. Her eyebrows rose as she shouted coldly, "Marquis of Shanshui, do you still want to be beaten? Isn't a slap enough? Mr. Jiang is an imperial physician and a member of the imperial family, why can't he speak! Sit down! "
"Ah? He's an imperial physician? This subject didn't know before. I know my mistake, Grand Princess, please calm down! "
The Marquis of Shanshui jumped in fright and hurriedly knelt down.
"He wants to be beaten! I'll enforce the law on behalf of the Grand Princess! "
Lin Yang jumped out and slapped the Marquis of Shanshui's face, causing him to roll a few meters away like a gourd.
"You!"
The Marquis of Shanshui climbed up in a daze, and was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood.
It's one thing for the Grand Princess to hit me, but you, a little calf, a junior, dare to hit me. It's a great humiliation. How, how can this be tolerated!
However, when Lin Yang hit him, he used the princess's name, and he could not refute it.
The Marquis of Shanshui retreated dejectedly.
Jiang Tian smiled coldly again.
"And you, the Fragrant Medicine House, right? To put it nicely, you are a high and mighty sect. To put it bluntly, you are just businessmen. Do you have any achievements? Have you made any contributions to the empire? Have you protected the Dongfang Imperial Family and the people? Where did you get the courage to use that pretentious tone to teach a lesson to a duke who once fought for the country and shed blood on the battlefield? "
"Who gave you the courage? You're so arrogant! Terminate the cooperation? Bah! I'm telling you clearly now, your Fragrant Medicine House will definitely not last long if you act like this. At most, you can live for half a year. There are many sects and businesses in the world that want to cooperate with my Lin family. Who do you think you are! "
"Mister's knowledge is really extraordinary!"
At this moment, Dongfang Moyu looked at Jiang Tian with her beautiful eyes again. Her good impression of Jiang Tian rose rapidly again, and she liked him to the extreme.
Sects were high and mighty and otherworldly. Sect cultivators considered themselves to be immortal cultivators and were extremely arrogant. They ignored the common people and did not care about the affairs of the world, but they forgot that they were originally born in the secular world.
But if a heavenly treasure appeared in the secular world, they would definitely snatch it, and even fight with the royal family. But if there were any natural disasters, demon beast tides, demonic qi, and so on in the secular world, even if millions of mortals were killed or injured, they would not take a second look.
They would even support agents in the secular world for the sake of benefits and participate in the fight for imperial power and territory.
"Haha, interesting. You dare to scold me!"
Owner Wang of the Fragrant Medicine House's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
