The waste prince is so fierce

After listening to Li Quan's interpretation, Chen Ye, a seasoned swordsman, was also moved by Li Quan's grand momentum: "Sword of the Son of Heaven..."

Chen Ye thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Something is wrong! You are deceiving me again! You are very cunning, do you want me to continue protecting you?"

Thinking of the many times he had been tricked by Li Quan, Chen Ye looked at him warily.

Li Quan coughed dryly and responded with a bit of embarrassment: "How can this be considered a lie? This is clearly a matter of mutual consent!"

Li Quan was exposed by Chen Ye and blushed with embarrassment. "Hey, you are too young to play tricks on me!"

Chen Ye mentioned that he was tricked by Li Quan into agreeing to help him three times, and now that the agreement has ended, he has regained his freedom. "However, even if you really have the ambition to practice the Emperor's Sword, you have to let me see if you have the ability first."

Chen Ye said calmly, "Wait until you can return to Kyoto safely from Liangzhou, then we can talk about letting me be your bodyguard."

Li Quan asked Chen Ye why he didn't go to Liangzhou. Chen Ye curled his lips and said, "I won't go to a remote place like Liangzhou. Besides, you already have other protections, so you don't need an old man like me."

Chen Ye rejected the request without hesitation and disappeared into the night. The last words he left for Li Quan were: "See you later, little brother!"

Li Quan asked in confusion, "Is there anyone protecting us?", but Chen Ye had already disappeared.

It was not until Li Quan returned to Prince Chun's Mansion that the figure hiding in the dark quietly left.

In the Golden Phoenix Tower, Mingyue saw Xiaoqiu coming back and asked softly, "Is there anyone trying to harm Your Highness?"

Xiao Qiu nodded seriously, and Ming Yue asked immediately, "Then you are exposed?"

Xiao Qiu told him that someone attacked Li Quan, but fortunately Li Quan was protected by a master. Referring to Chen Ye who forced Ye Sha to retreat without drawing his sword, Xiao Qiu added, "It was Chen Ye."

Mingyue heard "Chen Ye"

Even though he was always calm, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Are you talking about the sword fanatic Chen Ye who has been missing for more than ten years?"

Xiao Qiu confirmed that it was Chen Ye, and described him as a master who could make the people of Senluo Palace retreat with his aura alone.

"Did the people from Senluo Palace attack Your Highness?"

Mingyue asked further, and Xiaoqiu replied that it was true, and revealed that the person who did it was Yesha, the third-ranked assassin in Senluo Palace, who was sent by the prince. Mingyue whispered: "Senluo Palace, Yesha..."

Mingyue ordered: "Convey my order and mobilize all the disciples of Yihua Palace to hunt down the assassins of Senluo Palace with all their strength. Let them know that there are some people they cannot afford to offend."

As her order was issued, dozens of branches of Senluo Palace in Wu Dynasty were reduced to ruins in an instant. Although the main casualties were low-level assassins, this undoubtedly caused great damage to the vitality of Senluo Palace.

Xiao Qiu watched all this and said to Ming Yue: "Palace Master, I seem to agree with your judgment more and more now."

Mingyue asked curiously: "Oh? Why?"

"This prince looks careless, but he is actually very thoughtful."

Xiao Qiu analyzed, "What's even more amazing is that he can make Chen Ye, a top figure in the martial arts world, willing to work for him. I'm afraid there is no other prince who can match his skill."

Xiao Qiu finally concluded: "The Ninth Prince is truly extraordinary!"

After listening to Xiaoqiu's analysis, Mingyue smiled gently: "He can think of using letters to blackmail other princes. He is indeed a man with ideas."

After Xiaoqiu finished her report, the owner of the Jinfeng Tower, Liu Niang, pushed the door and walked into the house.

"Palace Master, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince will be leaving the capital for Liangzhou soon. Have you decided to go with him?"

Liu Niang is the female manager of the Golden Phoenix Tower, but in reality she is Xu Jiao, the chief elder of the Yihua Palace, the largest sect in the Jianghu. Mingyue is the top dancer of the Golden Phoenix Tower, but in reality she is the real helmsman of the Yihua Palace.

Mingyue nodded and responded: "If he goes to Liangzhou, I will follow him."

Liu Niang asked with concern: "Then what about the Golden Phoenix Tower..."

After receiving the Palace Master's affirmative answer, Liu Niang tentatively asked about the future operation of the Golden Phoenix Tower: "Will it continue to operate?"

Mingyue decided: "Keep it open. There are often court officials coming here for entertainment, which is convenient for us to collect intelligence. Besides, the Golden Phoenix Tower has been in business for many years. If it suddenly closes, it may attract the attention of some people."

Hearing Mingyue mention "certain people"

, Xu Jiao couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Mingyue continued: "I will only take Xiaoqiu and Xing'er with me to Liangzhou."

At the same time, he arranged: "During my absence, all affairs of Yihua Palace will be decided by you."

Thinking about leaving the capital soon, Mingyue had to make arrangements in advance. "Yes, Palace Master!"

Xu Jiao lowered her head and half-knelt, solemnly accepting the task.

At dawn the next day, the fourth prince Li Cheng came to the East Palace again. "What? Ye Sha didn't complete the task!"

Li Qian, who originally thought that Yesha had a sure success in the mission, was stunned when he learned that the mission had failed.

Li Qian's younger brother explained: "It was because Lao Jiu had a master protecting him that Ye Sha failed."

Li Qian asked doubtfully and sternly: "Master? What kind of master can the neglected prince Lao Jiu find?"

"According to Ye Sha, the one protecting Lao Jiu is a top swordsman in Jianghu named Chen Ye."

When Li Qian heard the name "Chen Ye", he paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Chen Ye? This name sounds familiar. Wait! Could it be the sword fanatic Chen Ye who disappeared from the martial arts world ten years ago?"

Although Li Qian, as the crown prince, was not well versed in the operation of the martial arts forces, he had some understanding of the martial arts forces that could be used for his own benefit, otherwise he would not have recruited Yesha of the Senluo Palace under his command.

After confirming that it was indeed Chen Ye, Li Cheng silently lowered his head and gave an affirmative answer.

"Clang!"

With the sound of porcelain breaking, Li Qian's face was filled with anger, and his features were distorted! "That coward, he always goes against me!"

"I wanted to marry Xu Yingnan, but my father betrothed her to him."

"We wanted to shine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but he stole the spotlight."

"Now he still holds my secret, this piece of trash, I really want to kill him!"

When Li Qian thought about all the things he was proud of being destroyed by Li Quan, his resentment was overwhelming!

Seeing this, the fourth brother hurriedly comforted the furious eldest brother: "Brother, calm down, don't get yourself hurt by being angry! That guy has been driven out of the capital by our father, and he is no longer a threat to you."

"If you lose your composure because of him, wouldn't that mean you'll fall into the trap set by the Third Brother and be taken advantage of by him?"

Li Cheng knew very well that Li Jun was his elder brother's biggest rival for the throne, so he tried to persuade him earnestly.

After hearing this, Li Qian calmed down a little: "You are right, the third brother is my real competitor. I shouldn't get angry over a loser who has lost his power."

"But it's always a hidden danger that he holds my secret."

After careful consideration, he said, "How about this, set up another trap for him on his way to Liangzhou, and let Yesha mobilize all the masters of Senluo Palace to deal with him. I don't believe that Chen Ye is so powerful that he can fight against all the masters of Senluo Palace!"
