The guard struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Please, His Majesty the Crown Prince, think of the great plan! If you can really subdue this King Xuan and make great contributions to Daxia, your Majesty's praise will be of course a big deal!"
"When he joins the Daxia royal family, and given time, when Your Highness succeeds to the throne, you can do whatever you want with him in the future, won't you just do whatever you want?"
"But if you mess up what your Majesty has entrusted you to do because of a moment of anger, then I'm afraid..."
It has to be said that the prince himself has a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but there are still a few smart people around the prince, and this elderly golden-armored guard is one of them.
After listening to his words, Xia Tong's anger was finally restrained by reason.
He nodded lightly and said quietly: "Okay, I will follow your words! But now that it has become like this, how can we remedy it?"
"This is simple, as long as Your Highness is like this..."
After hearing this, Xia Tong glanced at the golden-armored guard approvingly, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Hahaha, I have long heard that Master Tianqi Pavilion is quite capable, so I just put it to the test. I should know what he knows.
What you say is true!”
After listening to the guard's advice, the prince revealed the "misunderstanding" just now with one sentence.
Immediately, he took the initiative to express his goodwill: "I have admired Master Tianqi Pavilion for a long time, and I came here to pay a special visit today. I also ask the master to give me some face. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."
The prince bowed his head in submission, and there was no trace of anger in his words.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. In this case, Chen Shen couldn't refuse anymore, so he said in a moderate tone: "Just now, the master of the pavilion heard that someone insulted my guards and called them watchdogs?
This man slapped himself in the face and apologized. Then, this pavilion master will make an exception and see the prince for a rest."
Upon hearing this, Xia Tong's face turned cold again, and he thought to himself: "Damn it! This prince condescends to speak, but you are still putting on airs, right?"
Just as he was about to have an attack, the guard beside him who was advising him quickly stopped him: "Your Highness, the overall situation is the most important thing, the overall situation is the most important thing!"
Xia Tong took several deep breaths to finally calm down the anger in his heart, and then looked at the subordinate who was talking nonsense.
The guard looked aggrieved, raised his hand, and whipped himself——
"Crack!"
Crisp and loud.
"I made an unreasonable statement earlier, and I would like to apologize to the Pavilion Master!" The guard almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.
Immediately, Chen Shen's calm voice came again: "Haha, it's not for me, it's for you to apologize to the person you insulted."
The guard gnashed his steel teeth, glanced at the prince, and saw that the prince's eyes were slightly closed, with a look of resignation. Then he stamped his feet, lowered his head, and faced the four guards of Tianqi Bao Pavilion.
Said: "I made a mistake and apologized to you all!"
"Hehehe, it's easy to talk about."
The four people were holding on with their hands, and the matter was considered to have been exposed.
The four of them are still very grateful to Chen Shen! As servants, their dignity is very worthless.
Who would have thought that the master of Tianqi Pavilion would regain face for "little people" like them, and would not hesitate to dismiss the prince's face...
From beginning to end, Xia Tong remained silent.
But in fact, he was extremely angry in his heart: "In Male Desert, it depends on the owner to beat a dog! You actually let my guard slap the mouth of your four guard dogs?"
"Master Tianqi Pavilion, right? Okay! The prince has recorded this account! When you become the dog of my Daxia royal family, and when I ascend the throne and become the emperor one day, I will let you pay it back in every stroke..."
No matter how angry Xia Tong was at this time, he did not dare to show it on his face - because the mission assigned by his father could not be missed.
Xia Tong could only suppress his anger and pretend to smile freely: "Haha, if you make a mistake, you have to correct it! In my country, the emperor is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty, let alone the guards of this palace?"
This sentence can be regarded as finding a step for him to get off.
Then he said again: "Master Tianqi Pavilion, are you satisfied now?"
"Of course. Your Highness, please come in. But we have something to say first. You and I can only rest for a long time after meeting."
"Hahaha, okay! A hundred breaths is a hundred breaths!"
Everyone could tell that Xia Tong's laughter at this moment was very dry. Thinking about it, the secret anger in his heart was getting deeper and deeper...
Seeing Xia Tong and the others entering the gate of Tianqibao Pavilion, Li Zongming and Dianlong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it didn't get too tense."
"Although I only have a hundred breaths, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince expresses his sincerity, and we will have more contacts in the future, and we will become familiar with each other once, it should not be difficult for Your Majesty to win over the Master of Tianqi Pavilion."
Xia Caiyue, who was in the elegant dining room of the teahouse, narrowed her eyes slightly and wondered what she was thinking.
On the other hand, the four "door gods" at the entrance of Tianqibao Pavilion all straightened their backs!
They were proud in their hearts: "Did you see it? Our Tianqibao Pavilion is so awesome!"
"The majestic prince must be humble in front of our pavilion master! What a shame, looking at the whole of Daxia, which business can have such a big reputation?"
"As subordinates, we are so lucky to be able to hang out with such a tough boss..."
…
Inside the Tianqi Treasure Pavilion, the prince and his party were walking in a hurry under the guidance of two treasure pavilion attendants.
Why did he need to rush? Because Chen Shen only gave him a hundred breaths!
If you are swaying and walking with square steps, then the time has passed before you have seen the real owner. Isn’t that fucked up?
A hint of an official smile appeared at the corner of Xia Tong's mouth, but his eyes were looking around.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Qibao Pavilion was nothing like this: "Such a simple decoration? I have never seen a piece of gold and jade..."
"How dare you call yourself Tianqi with this appearance? Humph! Even my prince's toilet is more luxurious than this one!"
To be honest, Tianqi Bao Pavilion cannot be called magnificent. Even the word "exquisite" is placed on its head, which seems to be a bit high hat.
However, there is a simple yet grand beauty inside and outside the pavilion, which is not something Xia Tong can appreciate.
"Squeak..."
The door of Taiyi Pavilion opened wide, and after the two sides met each other, Xia Tong's smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared instantly.
The ten golden-armored guards following him were also stunned...
Facing them, three people were sitting, all wearing dark golden masks.
Damn, it’s a meeting, but this guy can’t even see his true face, so he’s just meeting a dumb face?
After a brief silence, Xia Tong asked in a deep voice: "The prince is here in person, but you don't show your true face. How is this?"
"Haha, your name is just a nickname, and your appearance is just a skin. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, looks like a dragon or a phoenix. Why do you stick to such small details?"
Among the three golden-faced men, the one sitting in the middle smiled slowly and said: "Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince is not here just to see the appearance of this pavilion master, right?"
"you……"
Without waiting for the other party to get angry, Chen Shen made a bold move: "Okay, please take a seat. How about trying our dishes?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tong and others subconsciously glanced at the delicacies on the table.
Just one glance made them startled: "This color...this fragrance...could it be the highest-grade Xuan food in the Xuan class?"
