*******************************

Rong Tian grabbed at Feng Ming’s hands, which he was rubbing his eyes with. ”You little…I was careful not to wake you up, so why did you get up on your own?”

“I was waiting for you.”

“Ah, I know.” Rong Tian laughed and intimately gave him a kiss on the forehead as a reward. He pulled him into an embrace and said, “I heard that Duke Ming had a dominating presence today at the Tong Kingdom’s banquet, and once again, made all the people acknowledge that our Xi Lei’s Duke Ming has great talent.”

Feng Ming was surprised and asked, “How come you heard about it so quickly?”

“Do not forget, who did this King specially go out to meet tonight?”

Feng Ming was still in a state of being half awake and blankly blinked his eyes a few times before remembering that Rong Tian originally left to go see Xi Lei’s representative, Hao Yuan Jiang.

The ambassador had been present at the banquet, so if Rong Tian had gone to see him after, then of course he would have found out about what happened.

“What did Hao Yuan Jiang say? Hmm… he is currently the ambassador for Xi Lei promoted by Tong er. Did he not shout for the guards when he saw you had infiltrated his place late at night?” Feng Ming was unrestrained as he used Rong Tian’s chest as a pillow. At the same time, he proudly accepted Rong Tian’s hand’s attentive caress on his neck.

With a completely pleased look, Rong Tian replied, “It’s actually the opposite. Towards this King, he was quite respectful.”

“Oh… why is that?”

Rong Tian gently pinched Feng Ming’s nose and laughed harmoniously. “Others see you as the shrewd Duke Ming… yet why is it that you only expose this kind of muddleheaded, silly appearance before this King… Is it because you wish to be lazy and avoid using your brain?”

Feng Ming imitated an old-fashioned tone as he replied, “Today, I used a lot of my brain cells for the sake of your Grace Order. I put my best efforts into painstakingly defending it. Therefore, wanting to take a break should not be considered excessive, right? Hey, hey… since I was so good today, can I request a small reward?”

“Of course. Tonight… this King will properly love you plenty.”

“Objection! It’s my turn to be on top!”

“You will hurt your waist… You always complain after you finish.”

“I rarely get to do it. That’s why I always end up in pain. It’s just like when a player who normally doesn’t get to play in games is suddenly put in one. They end up sore all night. If you let me do it more, I guarantee I will not overdo things and end up hurting my waist.”

With an evil smile, Rong Tian bit his lips and said, “Even when you do it till your hips hurt, this King is not satisfied. If you try to not overdo things, then you’ll be leaving this King even more deprived, right? That’s why it is better for this King to take the initiative. Like this, both of us can be satisfied, isn’t that right?”

Feng Ming was fondled gently by the mischievous hand that had entered into his pants. A score of 120… it was way too comfortable. His will to fight immediately disappeared as he enjoyed Rong Tian’s service. However, he still released a disgruntled cry of, “Tyrant.”

Using his knee to slightly push on Rong Tian’s thigh, Feng Ming urged him to speak. “You still have not finished talking about the meeting with Hao Yuan Jiang.”

“Explaining it in detail would make you bored, but fine. Xi Lei is currently having internal issues. The Prime Minister’s speculations were indeed… not lacking. We will temporarily bide our time. Tong er himself has created his own internal strife. The imperial house is now split up into several factions. Tong er and his supporters are one faction. Another is made up of Tong Jian Min and other generals. All those who protected the King and have been stripped of their official posts are in another faction. The latter has recently seen a miserable decline in their combat potential. The majority have remained in the capital, not daring to step outside and spending their days anxiously fearing that Tong er will find an excuse to kill them.”

Feng Ming blinked his lovely eyes. “Su Jin Chao, that white faced young master, is surely in the Tong er faction, however… which one is Hao Yuan Jiang in?”

“His is much more interesting, like an unstable rock swaying from side to side… It is a faction of undecided old courtiers.”

Feng Ming bluntly, without hesitation, poked Xi Lei’s King Rong Tian, in the shoulder and demanded, “Hey… explain clearly. Don’t make this Duke Ming waste his brain energy trying to guess.”

“I already told you, your patience would wear thin listening to this.” Rong Tian pulled Feng Ming into a tighter embrace and moved his fingers underneath the latter’s clothes. He contentedly touched the smooth flesh as he started slowly explaining. “An old courtier such as Hao Yuan Jiang originally had some qualifications to remain in the imperial court. Those in his faction do not dare to openly revolt against Tong er, so their attitude is not clear. That is why Tong er has only dealt with the ministers who had firmly supported me and left those old, hesitant courtiers alone to keep things stable.”

The decision was right. He could not replace all the old officials at once, and needed to keep one group.

But even those old officials are beginning to dislike Tong er more and more, including Hao Yuan Jiang. Tong er has promoted new officials that are young and frivolous. They are used to making trouble, and now that they have been appointed as senior officials, are even more unscrupulous and arrogant. They have no respect for the old officials, and Tong er, as the new king, favours his newly appointed young officials more.”

Feng Ming roughly understood the whole situation and responded with an “Oh,” followed by a very big yawn.

Rong Tian noticed his sleepy look and knew that Feng Ming had depleted all his energy chatting with him. He tenderly kissed him and softly said, “This trifling matter can be discussed later, you sleep first.”

After a while he whispered, “Feng Ming… I might follow Ambassador Hao Yuan Jiang’s group back and secretly sneak into Xi Lei.”

Feng Ming suddenly startled awake and his eyes opened wide. “You want to sneak into Xi Lei?”

If Tong er catches him, he’ll end up dead!
