C9 The Enemy of the Government

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Lee Xiang smiled faintly and walked in as if there was no one else around.

Count Walker, who was suddenly in a dilemma, was naturally incomparably furious. Although Prime Minister Kohl, who had just proposed, was detestable, there was another person who was even more furious in his heart. It was his yellow-skinned son, Lee Xiang. Anyone who wasn't an idiot would be able to tell that he had done it on purpose. As for the purpose, he knew it very well. When he thought about how his son had been able to do some puzzling things since he was young, his intelligence was also unquestionably revealed. Count Walker was even more certain of his own thoughts and the prophecy of his family. . . If it wasn't for the gathering of distinguished guests. . . He would have rushed forward and punished this ignorant brat. He would make him regret what he did just now.

"Oh, my god. . . This should be third young master from Count's Mansion, right? He's already so big, he looks very similar to you, Count. . . " Kohl smiled and revealed a harmless expression. If it wasn't for those who truly understood him, they wouldn't have been able to see through his true intentions.

The people in the hall were staring at this unbelievable scene with their eyes wide open. To be honest, it wasn't a secret that there was a yellow-skinned third young master in Count's Mansion. Even the entire Imperial Capital was known by everyone! It was just that everyone didn't dare to say anything because of the Rinker family's prestige. Furthermore, after so many years, everyone had basically gradually forgotten about this matter. After all, no one had seen it with their own eyes for so many years!

Count Walker instantly calmed down. No matter how much anger he had, he had to control it. He regained his composure and smiled faintly. " Not bad. . . He is third young master of Rinker family. What's wrong? Does the prime minister think there is a problem?"

Lee Xiang had been looking straight ahead. He did not care about the looks of the crowd. He even had a smile on his face all the way. Even most of the nobles present felt that there was nothing wrong with his etiquette.

The most unnatural one was countess. Of course, there was also Lee Xiang's older sister, Catherine.

"How could that be? I just think that such a good sound of the zither, I believe that His Majesty also likes these. It is really a pity!" Kohl smiled faintly.

Count Walker's expression suddenly changed and he snorted heavily. "I do not need to trouble the Prime Minister with this. . . Well, Prime Minister, please do as you wish. The cocktail party is about to begin!"

Everyone present was an important official of the empire. Of course, they knew that the two of them would often fight openly and secretly. At this moment, people with discerning eyes naturally knew that the two of them might be secretly competing with each other. Especially since Count had already spoken, naturally no one dared to interrupt.

At this moment, Lee Xiang had already walked to the side of the earl and his wife. First, he casually glanced at Prime Minister Kohl and others, then smiled at Sophie and Catherine. Finally, he turned his attention to the earl and his wife's faces and said with a smile, "I hope my music did not startle father and mother. . . "

Count Walker nodded his head in a strange manner. Countess did not speak, but after a brief moment of surprise, she immediately showed a mother's kind smile. She reached out her hand and pulled Lee Xiang to her side. She gently said, "How could it be? My dear child! I should thank you for letting me have a birthday banquet that is new to me. "

Lee Xiang nodded. He even looked at Count Walker and said softly," This is what a son should do. It was not easy for me to have such an opportunity today. How could I miss it so easily? "

Count Walker turned his head to the side. He tried his best not to make eye contact with Lee Xiang. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself. What Lee Xiang said just now sounded like an obvious provocation to him. He did not understand why Lee Xiang, who had always been a little clever, was so bold today. But no matter what, he absolutely could not lose his temper at this moment. Otherwise, he, Count, would lose all of his face.

Kohl had been paying attention to Count Walker's reaction. At this moment, just as Count slightly nodded at Mrs. Sophie and was about to turn around and leave, Kohl suddenly smiled and said, "I have always heard that Count's third young master is smart and smart. I didn't think that he is also very good at music. . . " Speaking up to this point, Kohl gently walked to Lee Xiang's side. He glanced at the ancient zither in Lee Xiang's arms. He turned to Count Walker and continued, "I think no one has heard of this kind of musical instrument before, right? I wonder where Count found such a brilliant teacher for third young master?"

Kohl's voice was very loud when he said this. He probably wanted all the distinguished guests to hear him. The people present weren't fools. They naturally understood what Prime Minister Kohl meant. Because he knew that Count Walker had never looked for a teacher for third young master. It was obvious that Kohl had asked this on purpose. To be honest, they were also very curious. But they did not ask. After all, Count Walker's authority was still there.

But just because others were afraid didn't mean that Kohl was afraid. Therefore, this question naturally aroused the interest of many people. They wanted to see if this third young master was really as the rumors said.

There were already people loudly agreeing with Prime Minister Kohl's proposal. Count Walker stole a glance and found that these were all Prime Minister Kohl's disciples. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Originally, he did not invite these people. However, they came uninvited, so he couldn't refuse them. However, he didn't expect them to come looking for trouble on their own initiative. What was even more unexpected was that the other party actually wanted to use Li Jun as an article.

If it was another occasion, he might have been able to turn hostile immediately. However, the key was that he was at his home right now. That was why this was a little difficult to deal with.

"So the prime minister has always been so concerned about my Count's Mansion. . . " Count Walker smiled and said sarcastically.

Kohl sighed and said, "It is not my duty to care about it. It is my duty. Count does not know about it. Recently, there had been some rumors about the Rinker family. They said that there was a slight difference between third young master and the excellent bloodline of the Rinker family. More importantly, the rumors said that Count imprisoned this impure third young master in order to save his face. Of course, none of us believed that. Furthermore, it seems that today's matter isn't necessarily the truth. However, the rumors are sometimes even more terrifying than beasts! So it's normal for me to pay attention to this matter. After all, the laws of the Empire clearly state that such a thing is not allowed to happen. Furthermore, it is not only the princes who sent representatives today. Even the noble princess also came to congratulate the Emperor and the Empress on behalf of third young master's appearance. This was the best proof. It could also break the rumors outside. . . But without wind, there would be no waves. I think that since there is such a rumor, there will naturally be a reason for it. And I also believe that if this rumor goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it won't do Count any good. The Empire's iron law, Richard's Declaration, I believe that everyone in Osman Continent knows about it. It seemed that he didn't want to let Count Walker go just like that. "I think Count is more familiar with the Declaration of Richard than anyone else, right?"

Kohl's ambiguous words made Count Walker's face suddenly change, and then it became extremely gloomy. He believed that if this wasn't the Count's Mansion, he would have been furious long ago.

At this moment, Lee Xiang, who was standing on the other side, felt delighted in his heart. A trace of a smile unconsciously emerged on his face. He had studied the Richard's Declaration quite thoroughly. He could almost recite it backward, or else he wouldn't have taken such a huge risk today. He knew that he had made the right bet when he came out today. He didn't expect that there would be a heavyweight political enemy of Count Walker here today. It was like the heavens were helping him.
