Editor: Henyee Translations
Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .The King of the eastern border remained unfazed, smiling instead. “I agree with the General’s ideals, but why strive for the unattainable? Isn’t that self-torment?”
Tang Jinghong’s expression was calm. “Then what does Your Highness consider unattainable? And what is achievable?”
The King of the eastern border looked at the vast landscape and, after a moment of silence, said, “General Tang, do you think I am suitable to be the King of the eastern border?”
“All lands under the heaven belong to the king; Your Highness is not suitable,” Tang Jinghong stated clearly.
The King of the eastern border’s face darkened instantly. “General Tang, do you know who you are speaking to? Do you believe I can’t make sure you never leave the eastern border?”
“Many wish for me to never leave the eastern border, but my comings and goings are not for anyone to decide.” Tang Jinghong found it laughable that this King of the eastern border, who exploited and enslaved the people, aspired to be their ruler.
The King of the eastern border glared at Tang Jinghong. “Do you really think you’re so indispensable? Do you think Daling can’t function without you?”
Tang Jinghong’s expression remained placid. “I never thought that way. However, the Emperor entrusted me with this task, and I must fulfill my duty.”
The King of the eastern border slammed his hand on the railing, displaying his anger. After a while, he suppressed his rage and spoke in a calm voice, “Tang Jinghong, how about working for me?”
Tang Jinghong’s tone turned severe. “I only support the rightful ruler.”
The King of the eastern border shouted, “Tang Jinghong!”
Tang Jinghong, unfazed by the King’s outburst, asked, “May I ask, Your Highness, if you desire the eastern border so much, why do you allow it to fall into such chaos and misery?”
The King of the eastern border turned his head to stare at Tang Jinghong, a complex struggle flashing in his eyes. “Do you think I want this? None of this is under my control.”
