In Ma Mansion, while Ma Dong was still locked up in the woodshed, the housekeeper's servants rushed up to announce the good news.
"Sir, good news, great news!"
Ma Dongxi looked at the housekeeper with cold eyes: "What a fart, you didn't see that I was locked up! Tell me, how many virgins did you find?"
The housekeeper said excitedly: "There is even greater good news than this. Young Master, you are going to be the heir apparent!"
Ma Dongxi was excited: "Did my father's rebellion succeed?"
The steward paused and said, "Young Master, please don't say this nonsense. His Royal Highness, Prince Gong, thought that he had no children, and felt that the Young Master was a good person among men. He wanted to adopt the Young Master as his adopted son, but in fact, he wanted to adopt the Young Master, that is, From now on, we, Prince Gong, will be the only heir to the throne!"
Ma Dongxi paused: "Doesn't that mean that my surname is no longer Ma? I have to change my surname to Liu. No, we have also become the surname of the country. You have to let us think about it. If we become the heir, how many little beauties will fawn over us? we."
"Yes, we will call Qin Dongxi from now on. What do you think of this name?"
"Very good, very good. His Highness the Crown Prince is really a genius. Those gentlemen feel that they have nothing to teach His Highness. They said that if His Highness the Crown Prince takes part in the imperial examination, he is guaranteed to be the number one scholar, someone who is both civil and military."
Dongxi Ma, no, Dongxi Qin, was very satisfied with the butler's flattery.
"Because you brought us good news, I'm exempt from this beating today! I didn't expect that I would also become a prince. Those old Confucian scholars who look down on others said that I don't understand the rules, and I will become an adult in the future. It’s no big deal, let’s go and go for a walk, my dad won’t be able to care about us anymore.”
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Those gentlemen didn't say he was talented. They were obviously scared of being beaten and ran away. In order to prevent this guy from retaliating, all the gentlemen in Luochuan City collectively gave him a very high evaluation.
The most romantic and talented man in Luochuan, Ma Dongxi!
Of course, he can be called Qin Dongxi from now on.
Qin Dongxi was high-spirited and walked struttingly on Luochuan Street. The vendors on the road ahead fled after hearing the news.
"Why do these bitches crawl when they see my prince? Go and catch them and kowtow to my prince. By the way, don't show mercy to little beauties. My prince doesn't want anyone except an eighty-year-old old man." …”
"promise!"
A group of fierce servant guards rushed out with sticks, beating anyone they saw and arresting women they saw.
But when they came to a woman in a white skirt wearing a bamboo hat, they regretted it. The woman drew and retracted her sword without even making any unnecessary movements.
Surrounded by him, he fell instantly
The woman in the bamboo hat was none other than Shangguan Yunxi. She never thought that Luochuan City would become like this one day.
Qin Dongxi stepped forward, took a good look at the opponent's figure, and drooled.
"Big beautiful girl, this is a big beautiful girl, come on, take this big beautiful girl down, I will be rewarded heavily!"
Crown Prince?
"Are you Prince Gong?"
"Of course, my prince..."
However, before he finished speaking, as soon as the fragrant wind blew, he found a sword on his neck.
Then the sword tilted and hit him directly on the head, and Qin Dongxi fell down in a daze.
Shangguan Yunxi picked up Qin Dongxi with one hand, stepped up the wall, and said to the confused guards.
"Ask Prince Gong to let go of my disciple of Jade Girl Sect, otherwise I will cut her into pieces!"
After saying that, he walked away.
…
In Ma Mansion, Ma Boliang was reviewing the military accounts, when the housekeeper hurried in.
"General, it's not good, Young Master!"
"What's wrong with him? Whose young husband did he beat to death and whose girl did he kidnap?"
"General, no, this time the young master was captured. The other party asked me to release Shen Yue and others, otherwise they will kill the young master!"
"Jade Girl Sect, it's not good. Quickly, order the city defense battalion to enforce martial law throughout the city, and mobilize three thousand soldiers and horses from outside the city to enter the city to investigate suspicious people. Also, prepare your horses. I want to go to the prince in person for instructions."
"promise!"
…
In Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Gong was having a lively chat with a man who claimed to be a descendant of Xiao from Western Sichuan.
"Brother Xiao Tian, I am currently lacking someone like you who has great ambitions and knows everything about Daxia. Why don't you consider joining the rebel army and overthrow the puppet dynasty together."
That Xiao Tian said well, but in his heart he was already eager to draw his sword. The reason was very simple. He was the eldest prince of Daxia.
Qian Xiaojia bribed a certain senior member of the Liansheng sect, who directly introduced him to Prince Gong. In addition, Qin Tian did have some real talent and knowledge, so Prince Gong was eager to accept him as his younger brother immediately.
But how did he know that the person in front of him was the eldest prince of Daxia, a man who looked rough and brainless, but was actually very calculating.
"My lord, after talking for so long, I haven't met the princess yet. I heard that she is the most talented woman in the capital?"
Prince Gong laughed loudly: "According to Luochuan's rules, I cannot see you. However, Brother Xiao, you can come to attend my wedding ceremony in three days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I'll take my leave now."
After Qin Tian left, Wang Muzhi, who was pretending to be an escort, slowly said: "Your Majesty, this man doesn't look like he is from Western Sichuan. His accent is wrong."
Prince Gong smiled and said, "So what? I met him once, and he paid thirty thousand taels of silver. This deal is still a good deal, and the other party did not ask me for a fief."
Wang Muzhi muttered: "Your Highness, we used to give out large rewards because we didn't have enough money and food, so we accumulated military pay so quickly. But now that we have established a firm foothold, if we continue to blockade like this, I'm afraid Luochuan City will be destroyed."
Prince Gong smiled: "Mr. Wang, I thought about it, we can indeed go to southern Yunnan, but where will the money come from? I am in charge of hundreds of thousands of people's food, drink, and care. I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when I am not a family member. And get rid of it." The best way for the Lisheng sect is to be independent in money and food."
Wang Muzhi said with a smile: "What the prince said is absolutely true. It's because I didn't think carefully."
"Next, don't waste time!" Prince Gong called directly.
At this time, a wealthy businessman walked in swaggeringly.
"I'm Yun Hao. I've met His Royal Highness Prince Gong. A mere courtesy is not a sign of respect." The person who came was none other than Qin Hao. His pseudonym was Yun Hao, but he frightened Prince Gong for a moment.
"It turns out he is the Young Master of the Yun family. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. I wonder what Young Master Yun wants?"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "I want to buy a street. I wonder if the prince is willing to part with it?"
"What street?"
Qin Hao said: "It's the shop on Wangfu Street outside the palace. This is a deposit of two hundred thousand taels."
Prince Gong and Wang Muzhi looked at each other, what happened today?
"Okay, deal!"
Qin Hao stood up: "Then don't bother the prince!"
Prince Gong counted the banknotes, but Wang Muzhi was thoughtful.
"Next!"
Prince Gong is very measured. The money he can earn today will never be postponed until tomorrow, and there are not many people like him left who have been taken advantage of.
At this time, a handsome but slightly feminine man entered the hall.
"Yun Chen pays homage to Prince Gong."
Prince Gong thought to himself: "Another young master of the Yun family?"
He cleared his throat: "Are you also from the Yun family?"
Naturally, the person coming could not be Yunchen. He was recommended by Qin Chen and Liu Zaishi.
But at this moment, he could only bite the bullet: "Yes, why, are there other people from the Yun family?"
"I just left. I wonder what Young Master Yunchen wants?"
"I want to meet Shen Yue. To be honest, my father has a good relationship with Shen Yue's father, so..."
Prince Gong refused with a straight face: "No!"
Are you kidding? He only looked at the portrait and let others see it first. How is this inappropriate?
"One hundred thousand taels, I just want to confirm whether Miss Shen Yue is safe and sound!"
Gong frowned, one hundred thousand is not much, but it is not much.
"How about we arrange a meeting?"
Wang Muzhi's eyes narrowed and he realized how familiar Yun Chen felt.
"Your Majesty, there is a problem! This person is not from the Yun family."
"Not the Yun family?"
"How dare you lie to me?"
For a moment, Qin Chen was confused. How could he be a gangster?
Wang Muzhi on the side sneered: "I remember who you are, you are the fourth prince of Daxia! My lord, you have caught a big fish."
"The fourth prince of Daxia, Qin Chen! Yun Chen, you are so brave."
Qin Chen wanted to deny it at first, until Wang Muzhi said: "Back then, I went to your house to apply for a job as a retainer. Please ask me, do you still remember?"
Qin Chen looked gloomy.
Wang Muzhi was very angry: "Are you asking if we can sleep together? I have remembered that sentence for three years, and it is painful every time I think about it!"
Prince Gong on the side obviously didn't react: "What do you mean?"
Wang Muzhi's eyes were cold: "Your Majesty, we can't bear to look back on the past, so please put him in prison!"
"Someone, take him down!"
Wang Muzhi said: "My lord, the false emperor said that 'Crown Princess Shen Yue' means that whoever wins Shen Yue's favor is more likely to become the prince. Since there is a prince, there is no shortage of another one!"
"Come here, tell Ma Boliang."
But before anyone could pass on the message, Ma Boliang rushed in: "Your Highness, Quan Zi has been arrested. The other party said that they would kill Quan Zi if Shen Yue is not released!"
Prince Gong stood up slowly:
"Sure enough, this group of people came to my king's Luochuan City. They sent an order to the five-city army and horse divisions and all the military camps to mobilize collectively. They even dug three feet into the ground to capture the person for me. They also notified the Liansheng faction and asked them to Send out experts to capture him!"
"promise!"
