There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

Chapter 52: First-class Realm, I have killed before [Newbies begging to read!!!]

Cao County, Yuelai Inn.

"Please come in, guest officer."

Di Ying, who was already starving, couldn't wait to sit at the table in the lobby, waiting for Li Lingge to order.

However, the waiter said respectfully beside Li Lingge.

"Gentlemen, we have guests upstairs."

goo—

Before Li Lingge could open his mouth, Di Ying's stomach began to growl.

Li Lingge smiled.

"Is there food prepared upstairs?"

"Good wine and delicious food have been prepared for you."

The waiter extended his hand to invite the guest upstairs. The old man upstairs had given him five taels of silver, so naturally he had to invite the guest upstairs.

Li Lingge stood up and tilted his head towards Di Ying, motioning him to go upstairs to eat.

"Lead the way."

The three of them went upstairs, and many guesses flashed through Li Lingge's mind.

Knowing that he was going to Yanzhou, he was able to accurately find out his destination on his return journey, calculate the time and prepare meals in advance. This is really a great skill.

"Please come in, gentlemen." The waiter pushed open the door and said to an old man sitting inside, "The guest you wanted to invite has arrived."

Li Lingge's eyes fell on the two people in the room, two old men he had never seen before.

However, he roughly guessed who the one-eyed man in the green shirt was—the Shen family's priest, a first-class master, Cui Bei.

It was obvious without even asking that the old man in brocade robe standing next to him was the prince's man.

Although he was a little surprised, he understood the other party's intention after thinking about it carefully.

Di Ying didn't think too much about it. She just stared at the roast chicken on the table and swallowed her saliva.

He glanced at Li Lingge secretly, asking when they could start eating.

Li Lingge was not polite and directly asked Di Ying behind him to sit down. At the same time, he tore a chicken leg and put it in Di Ying's bowl.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness."

The old man in brocade robe smiled and stood up to pour wine for Li Lingge.

"The prince is indeed a true character. I, Zhang Daowen, have been waiting for the prince for a long time at the request of the prince."

Li Lingge was also a little hungry, so he quickly confirmed his target with chopsticks in his hand: baked carp noodles.

"I wonder what the prince wants?"

"Your Highness has been away from the capital for many days, so perhaps he doesn't know that His Majesty has already sent an envoy to South Vietnam. I think it won't be long before the two countries will negotiate and trade with each other."

As Zhang Daowen spoke, he observed Li Lingge's reaction.

Seeing that Li Lingge was just eating the food, he continued.

"Your Highness's silk shops are all over the Chu State. If the trade is successful, the Vietnamese silk and gauze from South Vietnam will enter the Chu State in the future. The Crown Prince wants to cooperate with Your Highness and plan great things together."

"Before my father died, he told me not to get involved in the affairs of the court, so I—" Li Lingge put down his chopsticks, "I can't do anything big."

Naturally, he could understand what the four words "conspiracy to commit great events" meant. Although the business of Yuejin and Shaluo was not small, the real great event referred to the struggle for the throne.

As for Cui Bei who was sitting on the side, what he wanted to express was probably that if you don't accept a toast, you will be punished by drinking a forfeit.

As the saying goes, first courtesy, then force. If the meal fails to reach an agreement, Cui Bei's stone-destroying move may be waiting for him.

However, his goal is to overthrow the prince, so it is impossible for him to cooperate with the prince.

The image of the little prince standing in the palace with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant ten years ago emerged in his mind.

He will never forget the words "The Li family is just a watchdog of the royal family".

In the end, he did not listen to his father and chose to get involved in the fight for the throne.

Because some things have to be done by someone, he does the things that his father is not convenient to do.

After being politely rejected, Zhang Daowen paused for a moment with the wine glass in his hand, and then said with profound meaning.

"Of course, the food in this small place cannot compare to the banquet on the third floor of Hongxiu Tower, but this is all the sincerity of the prince."

Click me, click me. Li Lingge calmly picked up the wine glass, ordering the meal he had with the second prince on the third floor of Hongxiu Tower.

He ignored Zhang Daowen who was holding the glass in the air and drank it all in one gulp.

"This dish is indeed far inferior to that of Hongxiulou."

Zhang Daowen's eyes narrowed. He knew that this trip was most likely a failure, and then his gaze fell on Di Ying.

"This must be the guard beside the prince. He has already reached the second rank at such a young age. His future is limitless."

The threat was self-evident. A mere second-rank warrior could not stop Cui Bei at all.

So don’t be ungrateful, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Di Ying, whose cheeks were puffed up, suddenly shut up. She looked at the three people at the table with some confusion, not understanding why they were suddenly talking about her.

Being stared at by three people, she probably realized that her eating manners were a bit indecent and embarrassing for Li Lingge, so she tried hard to swallow the chicken.

But I stuffed too much into my mouth and it was hard to swallow it all at once.

Seeing how difficult it was for her, Li Lingge couldn't help but want to laugh.

He stood up and served Di Ying a bowl of soup, saying softly.

"Eat slowly, don't rush."

Li Lingge turned his head and glanced at Cui Bei.

"She is still young, and I hope the Monument Destroyer can give her more guidance in the future."

"Easy to say."

This was the first time Cui Bei spoke after sitting down.

But in his eyes, the two people in front of him were already dead.

After only three glasses of wine, Zhang Daowen took Cui Bei away.

Looking at the two people's departing backs, Di Ying blinked.

"They're treating?"

Seeing Li Lingge nod, she looked at the table full of dishes and sighed.

"The prince is quite nice."

We sent people from far away to come here specifically to treat them to a meal.

Ordinary friends cannot do this.

Looking at the silly girl beside him who had no idea of ​​the impending danger, he didn't know how his father had chosen this young genius among so many people.

"After all, it's the last meal after execution, so it should be more sumptuous."

"The last meal before execution?" Even if Di Ying was slow to react, he understood what this meant. "The prince wants to kill you?"

Li Lingge pointed to the place where Cui Bei had just sat.

"He is a first-class master, specially used to deal with you."

Di Ying held the chicken wings in his hand and suddenly felt that they were not fragrant anymore.

Although she was just busy filling her stomach, she could clearly feel the vast aura of the old man.

She rolled her eyes and then asked tentatively.

"So we flee the city in the middle of the night?"

"It's useless. They've already set their sights on us. It's not that easy to get rid of a first-class master."

Li Lingge had no idea that he was in danger. Since the prince wanted to fight him, he would fight him to the end.

It’s not like I haven’t killed anyone in the first level realm.

Di Ying caught a glimpse of the Lingxi sword on Li Lingge's waist from the corner of his eye, and seemed to have figured something out.

"Let her entangle that one-eyed dragon, and I can take you away."

Lingxi: (=ω=；)
……

Zhang Daowen walked out of the inn with a gloomy look on his face. He couldn't understand what the second prince had promised to Li Lingge that could make him work so wholeheartedly for him.

"Since they are against the prince, there is no need for them to exist. We can take action after they leave Cao County."
