"What..." Zheng Jing's eyes widened in disbelief. This was different from what he thought!
Didn't the Emperor of Thorns decide to marry him?
This is what his father said himself.
In the past few years since the emperor's disappearance, he had been ordering members of the Thorns to do things for him as the emperor's fiancé, and he had never encountered any trouble. However, the emperor's attitude towards him now is really not like treating his fiancé...
Upon seeing this, the head of the Zheng family hurriedly walked out and spoke to Tang Bingyan with a smile.
"Your Excellency, this is my son Zheng Jing. Don't you remember him? He is..."
"I'm not interested in who he is." Tang Bingyan said indifferently, "Can your son be so arrogant in front of me?"
Tang Bingyan's words made everyone present take a breath.
What does it mean?
Isn’t Zheng Jing the fiancé of Emperor Thorn?
But what Tang Bingyan said just now did not mean this at all.
"Your Majesty, our previous head of the Zheng family made an engagement with you, and asked you and Zheng Jing to get engaged. However, before the engagement could be discussed, you were no longer at the Thorns Headquarters, and we couldn't contact you at this time.
The marriage has not been finalized. Have you been out for too long and forgotten about it?" Seeing Tang Bingyan's attitude, the head of the Zheng family was also a little anxious.
"Do I need to remember such a small thing?" Tang Bingyan's attitude was a little impatient, "Besides, you said it was the previous head of the family's agreement with me, then you let him confront me directly."
"This..." The head of the Zheng family and other senior officials felt as if they had received a heavy punch.
Their previous head of the family, the father of the current head of the family, had already traveled westward. How could he show up to confront the emperor?
And even if the old head of the family is still alive, how many of the Zheng family have the courage to confront the Emperor of Thorns...
"Zeng Rou." Seeing that the head of the Zheng family was speechless, Tang Bingyan looked sideways at the charming woman beside her.
"What are your orders, sir?" Zeng Rou lowered her head and asked.
"It is rumored that during my absence, some members of the Thorns were transferred by the Zheng family."
There was no warmth in Tang Bingyan's business, which made all the gang leaders present feel cold all over.
"Replying to your lord, this is indeed the case." Zeng Rou replied, "The Zheng family has always claimed that you have agreed to marry them. Especially Zheng Jing, he has always claimed to be your fiancé, and used this name to fight against the thorns
The members of the branch were bossy, allowing them to solve a lot of troubles for the Zheng family, and at the same time they also reaped a lot of benefits, and those members of the Thorns really regarded him as their uncle and obeyed his orders."
"very good."
Tang Bingyan slightly raised her lips, showing a very cold smile, and saw everyone around her trembling.
"Let those personnel take the initiative to receive their punishment."
"Yes!" Zeng Rou nodded in response.
The head of the Zheng family and Zheng Jing were stunned on the spot.
how so?
Didn’t the old family master already have an agreement on marriage with the Emperor of Thorns?
Why is this emperor so indifferent to them?
Unlike the Zheng family who were in a daze, Tang Bingyan didn't even look at them. She looked at Xu Tian and was about to say something when suddenly a gang leader jumped out and spoke to her respectfully.
"Your Majesty, this wolf king is so arrogant that he dares to slander you in public. He should be severely punished and killed directly to serve as a warning to others."
Tang Bingyan said calmly after hearing this.
"I did lose to the Wolf King by one move before. Now he is just stating the facts. It is not a slander."
Everyone:......
Is this when they don’t know what happened back then?
How could the Emperor of Thorns lose to the Wolf King?
Even if it was really defeated, it would be because other forces did not follow the martial ethics of the siege. Under the calculations of many gangs, the core foundation of Thorns has not been shaken. It can be seen that the attacks of those alliances on Thorns are nothing.
Xu Tian stared at the woman sitting on the throne, the anger in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
This woman is Tang Bingyan, why doesn't she admit it?
Even if it is temporarily inconvenient to recognize you because of your identity, you should not act like a stranger.
With the tacit understanding between the two of them, they could understand each other's thoughts even through eye contact, but Tang Bingyan's behavior was like being a stranger to him.
"Wolf King." At this time, Tang Bingyan looked at Xu Tian again, her eyes still unfamiliar.
"What's the matter?" Xu Tian said coldly.
"Since you came to attend the meeting today, you must pay monthly membership fees to Thorns." Tang Bingyan said coldly.
"Impossible!" Xu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "You want me, the Wolf King, to pay my dues to you and wait for the rest of my life!"
Zhong Yu and Zhong Ling looked at Xu Tian with some worry. Are their presence too high today?
Originally, their plan was just to say a few words in the meeting and find an opportunity to leave, but now, Canglang Palace has become the focus of all the participants, and it is not easy for them to run away now.
"Emperor, if you have the ability, kill me, otherwise I will never pay my dues." Xu Tian was so angry by Tang Bingyan's reaction that he even forgot the real purpose of coming here today.
"I need a reason." Tang Bingyan did not get angry. She stared at Xu Tian for a long time and spoke again.
"What other reason could there be?" Xu Tian sneered, "I have no money and can't afford to pay, okay?"
"Haha... The world is really going downhill. Even the Wolf King is starting to cry for poverty."
The leaders of other gangs around him sneered after hearing Xu Tian's words.
"What is your identity as Wolf King? Don't tell lies with your eyes open. Your Canglang Palace business is no different from bandits. If you don't have money, then I'm afraid all the forces in Wuji Island will go bankrupt!"
"That's total nonsense!" Zhong Yu retorted unconvinced, "Canglang Palace are all serious businessmen. Every time we do business, the other party is willing to give us most of the profits. Why do you slander us as bandits?"
"Humph, won't you agree?" A certain senior executive sneered, "Any business will take 70 to 80% of the share. If you don't give it, you will rob it. What are you not a bandit?"
"Shut up!" Seeing that the senior executive was about to quarrel with Zhong Yu, Zeng Rou shouted, "Who dares to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor?"
Zeng Rou's scolding silenced the sarcastic senior executives for an instant.
After the surrounding area became quiet, Tang Bingyan's eyes fell on the head of the Zheng family.
"From now on, the membership dues of Cang Lang Hall will be paid by the Zheng family. King Wolf, do you still have any objections?"
What?
Tang Bingyan's words stunned everyone present.
Not only the top brass of the Zheng family, but also Xu Tian and Zhong Yu looked confused.
what is happening?
Why should the Zheng family pay the dues for Canglang Palace? Why?
The head of the Zheng family looked at Tang Bingyan in shock: "Your Majesty the Emperor, our Zheng family has nothing to do with Canglang Hall, why should we pay the membership dues for him?"
