"This~" Just below Li Xuan, the Minister of Rites Hu Ying, the Minister of War Yu Jie, the Grand Scholar Shang Hong, and the regent minister Wang Wen all had slightly unusual expressions.
Shang Hong watched as the Kunpeng envoy's body shattered, revealing its true form as a shark with a bull's head and maimed limbs, its scattered blood frozen into ice chunks.
He frowned slightly, "This isn't good, is it? It is said that envoys should not be harmed when armies clash."
Li Xuan, however, remained composed, "It is said that envoys should not be harmed during clashes between armies, but that applies to the land of ceremonial propriety."
He pointed at the fish carcass on the ground, "Do you admit it is an envoy of a nation?"
Shang Hong was instantly rendered speechless, thinking that if he dared admit today that this fish was a national envoy, tomorrow he would be impeached by the Kedao officials and the Imperial Censors to the point of disgrace.
