"Your Majesty, the Prince Dai's Mansion has counted the number of dead. Eleven people have been killed by our people. A restaurant owned by Prince Dai has been destroyed, and a shop dedicated to selling stolen goods has been destroyed. Wen Xunpeng has also been injured. Currently, only
Being able to stay in bed to recuperate will greatly dampen the spirit of the king and increase your prestige, my lord!"
"Not to mention anything else, I asked people to stare at Dai Wang's Mansion and found that all the servants and slaves in Dai Wang's Mansion were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't even dare to leave the door. They were so frightened that it was ridiculous!"
Sun Bolan deliberately reported the news with joy.
Originally, the mission failed, and Wen Xunpeng, whom King Qi named to be killed, was only wounded. But after Sun Bolan said this, it seemed that the mission was really completed well.
King Qi felt much calmer after hearing this, but when he thought that Wen Xunpeng was only injured, he became a little dissatisfied.
He narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "What does it mean to kill a few servants? Didn't you say that the swordsman you found is a master? Why didn't you kill Wen Xunpeng?"
Sun Bolan also secretly resented that he was talking about a cold-faced swordsman and he was famous, so it didn't work out?
What's even more hateful is Wen Xunpeng. He thought that after being demoted, he would become the mastermind, just like a cat playing with a mouse, killing him at will, but he didn't expect that this man would be so alert and escape immediately.
Where is your loyalty?
Except for me, everyone should be loyal and would rather die than run away!
Thinking in his mind, Sun Bolan hurriedly replied: "Back to your Majesty, it's not because we didn't do our best, but we met someone from the Imperial City Division. This person's name is Luo Jiang. Although she is a woman, it is said that she belongs to Eunuch Zhao and is a master of swordsmanship..."
Seeing King Qi's expressionless face, Sun Bolan couldn't tell what King Qi was feeling at this moment, so he added cautiously: "This is because I am afraid of causing trouble to you. The people under Eunuch Zhao are a little evil. If they are discovered..."
"Okay, I understand." The more King Qi listened, the more depressed he became. He couldn't help but stop. Then he said angrily: "I know her. I saw her last time. I wanted to ask for her and come to the palace."
"I didn't expect this dog slave to refuse, and even sent Luo Jiang to Prince Dai's Mansion. This old dog did his best!"
It turned out that King Qi knew this girl, and Sun Bolan was shocked. Fortunately, he didn't tell many lies. It would have been a disaster if the secret was not exposed.
After following King Qi for a long time, he understood that King Qi didn't care whether you were cruel or not, and there were opportunities to make amends for your incompetence. However, he could not tolerate cheating, so he could only watch King Qi pacing in silence.
After a moment, King Qi suddenly smiled again: "No, it may not be for protection, it must be more for monitoring. I understand your father's thoughts very well."
"Not to mention the palace, which third-grade or above mansion does not have someone from the Imperial City Department?"
Because of this understanding, I know that no matter how prosperous the prince or minister is, no matter how famous he is, his father will still be suspicious because of his suspicion, and it is impossible to let him out of his control.
Daiwang is no exception.
Sun Bolan listened quietly. He didn't dare to say such a thing. It's okay now. He might not cause trouble if he said it. But King Qi's face changed quickly. What if he suddenly thought of this one day and felt that the person who wanted to say something was daring?
Is it over?
When Sun Bolan saw that King Qi had stopped talking, he bowed and said: "There is one more thing to report to the prince. The prince's palace was attacked by this attack, and he also wanted to increase his manpower. Therefore, he held a martial arts test in Yulin Guard and recruited Jianghu to escape."
It was related to the "recruitment" of the king on behalf of the king. Even if he only recruited Jianghu people, the king of Qi listened attentively. After listening, he walked around in silence.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might not be a bad thing. Since he couldn't stop it, he might as well add fuel to the fire.
After all, Prince Dai’s palace already has someone from his father in place, so he can also put someone in. It would be safer to act in secret.
So, King Qi quickly ordered: "My father can send people to the Prince's Mansion, and I can naturally do the same. You go and do it. Remember, you must not fail again this time, otherwise, even you will have to take the lead."
Punished."
Sun Bo Lai was shaken by King Qi's cold gaze. He managed to hold on and smiled: "I will do my best to handle this matter!"
Anyway, we just sent people to the Dai Wang Mansion to find more masters to participate in the competition. As long as there are winners and higher rankings, the task will be completed, right?
Four-legged horses are hard to find, and two-legged charlatans, even masters, are nowhere to be found.
The meanest ones are the charlatans!
Changmingfang Lujia Restaurant
The hotel opened in the morning, and some people who planned to have lunch early entered one after another. At this time, a young man smelled the aroma of wine floating in the wine shop. He was addicted to alcohol, but he touched his pocket and found only a dozen coins.
He simply walked in and said to the waiter: "Bring me a bottle of cheap wine and a plate of peanuts."
The waiter agreed and went to get the wine and peanuts. The young man took advantage of this moment to sit down at an empty table nearby and glanced around.
The Lujia Restaurant has a small appearance, with six tables set up in the two front rooms. Perhaps because it was not the actual meal time yet, there were not many people in the restaurant in the morning, and there were only five or six guests.
The wine and peanuts were quickly served. The young man felt depressed, drank a glass of wine and sighed.
"What are you sighing for?" Someone patted him on the shoulder and asked at the same time.
The young man was startled. He turned around and saw a man less than thirty years old standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.
"Brother Wei?" The young man asked him to take a seat: "I haven't seen you in a while. Where did you make a fortune?"
This sentence was not a perfunctory greeting, but a genuine curiosity from the young man.
Wei Hai has a reputation in the world of martial arts, but in a place like the capital where powerful people walk the streets, a person with a reputation in the world of martial arts is nothing!
Even the housekeepers of petty officials looked down at them, and their lives were not very good.
But now, Wei Hai was wearing very decent clothes, which made the young man jealous.
Wei Hai did not answer immediately, but instead called for a waiter to generously order a few of the specialty dishes here, all of which were the most expensive. Although this was a restaurant with a common price, ordering a few of the specialty dishes was extremely expensive for a poor man.
So luxurious.
The young man was stunned and said: "It seems that you are really rich."
"No, he's still a pauper."
"That……"
"Have you heard that the Prince's Palace recruits martial arts coaches and holds a competition at the Yulin Guards? Anyone can participate. As long as you enter the preliminary round, you will be rewarded. If you can enter the palace, you will have food and clothing."
"Because of this incident, I spent all my savings to buy new clothes. If it doesn't work out, then I will simply leave the capital and find another way to make a living elsewhere." said Wei Hai, a bachelor, and then asked the young man: "What will I do this afternoon?"
Just go, will you go?"
"What? The prince's palace is recruiting people?" The young man was moved when he heard this. He picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He also put the peanuts in his pocket and shouted to the waiter: "You don't need to serve any more food. I have something to do."
With that said, he left behind the money he had spent on the drinks, and took Wei Hai away quickly to decide what dishes to order, and to come back for dinner later in the evening.
"Hey, hey, sir?" The waiter was dumbfounded. The food had already been ordered to be fried. What should he do now? He said in a mouthful: "Sure enough, all the people in the world are poor."
Although he cursed, he didn't dare to chase after him. Jianghu people are all desperadoes, but they really dare to kill people!
