Chapter 602: Yelü Qiming
Chapter 10: Mount RenoChapter 602: Yelu Qiming
"Yelü Qiming."
Looking at the burly man before him, Zhao Xuanji uttered his name.
This name may not be well-known in the capital.
But in the Liao kingdom, even near the border fortress of Yueya Pass, it was a household name.
On the surface, Yelü Qiming's identity is that of a Generalissimo of the Liao Kingdom, holding the rank of a second-rank military officer. Over the past decade, he has been one of the most dazzling stars in the Liao military, attracting much attention.
And his famous battle was cooperating with the current prime minister of the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Zidao, to carry out the Moonlit Pass massacre that year!
Yelü Qiming, also the most trusted confidante of Wanyan Zidao, was rumored to have hope of inheriting the Tie Langwei, the most valiant cavalry corps in the Liao Kingdom.
Because of his relationship with Wan Yan Zai Dao, Zhao Xuan Ji was not unfamiliar with Yelü Qiming. In fact, Yelü Qiming was one of the few people in the world who knew about his relationship with Wan Yan Zai Dao.
And Yelü Qiming had another identity, the illegitimate son of the current prince of the Liao kingdom.
This is an open secret. It's simply because Yelu Qiming's mother was of low and lowly status, a Han Chinese woman, that Yelu Qiming's identity could not be recognized by the Liao royal family. But the fact remains that he possesses the most legitimate bloodline of the Liao royal family.
Yelü Qiming grinned, his rugged face full of ferocity. He looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, “The prime minister knows that you must be furious after learning that the Ninth Prince has come to the capital, so he asked me to bring you a message.”
Zhao Xuanji's expression flickered, gazing at Yelü Qiming.
"The prime minister said, this matter concerns the succession to the throne of the Liao Kingdom and even the future of the Liao Kingdom for a hundred years. You must fully cooperate with Prince Jiu to promote cooperation between the two countries."
Zhao Xuanji's face darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "Since this is such a major matter, why wasn't I informed in advance"
Yelü Qiming said nonchalantly, "It's precisely because this is a serious matter that we can't leak the news beforehand."
Zhao Xuanji said coldly, "My relationship with Wan Yan Zai Dao is a cooperation, not his subordinate. So please don't speak to me in such a commanding tone. Even if Wan Yan Zai Dao stood before me, he would have to be polite!"
Yelü Qiming raised an eyebrow, stood up, and walked to Zhao Xuanji's face.
Zhao Xuanji was not very tall, only a little over one meter and seven, and being elderly, his body naturally stooped slightly.
Ke Yirui Qiming was in his prime, and he had a military background. Under his command were countless lives stained with blood.
He stood there like a man-sized brown bear.
The enormous size difference between the two made Zhao Xuanji feel as though he was facing a ferocious beast.
"Old geezer."
Yelü Qiming leaned down slightly, condescendingly approaching Zhao Xuanji. His foul breath sprayed directly onto Zhao Xuanji's face. "This isn't a discussion, it's an order. If you can't even handle this, do you think I'd hesitate to crush you"
Saying this, Yelü Qiming stared at Zhao Xuanji, without looking back he accurately grabbed the ceramic teacup from the table that he had just drunk tea from, and in front of Zhao Xuanji's eyes, slowly crushed the entire ceramic teacup into powder with a single hand.
Smashing a cup is nothing, even if you do it with your fist, that's within the realm of normal human behavior.
But just like kneading dough, it was crushed into a powder as fine as sand, mixed with tea and flowing from Yelu Qiming's palm. It was almost inhuman strength.
Zhaoxuanji was speechless.
Because he knew very well that provoking a ruthless and fearless killer like Yelü Qiming would be highly irrational.
This madman doesn't care much at all, and might even kill himself immediately.
A scholar encountering a soldier, unable to make his point clear; that's exactly what Zhao Xuanji is experiencing now.
Of course, the prime minister also has one more thing for you to bring.The emperor kept Zhao Xuanji around primarily for Your Highness and the stability of the nation. You can clip his wings, but you cannot completely discard him; otherwise, what's the difference between...
