The waste prince is so fierce

"This place is extremely remote and there is no good wine. I really can't stay here."

Chen Ye spoke frankly, and Li Quan realized that he could not keep him.

"Where are you going?"

Li Quan imitated Chen Ye's appearance and put his hands behind his back.

"Go to the South and do something big enough to shock the world!"

Chen Ye responded in a low voice.

"How can I help you?"

Li Quan looked at Chen Ye and asked.

Chen Ye shook his head, indicating that he didn't need help.

At this time, Li Quan seemed to remember something, turned around and left for a while, and soon returned to the courtyard holding a wine gourd.

"I'll give this to you as a parting gift."

Chen Ye took the gourd handed to him by Li Quan, uncorked it and smelled it.

“This is divine brew!”

Chen Ye exclaimed.

Shenxianjiu is the leader among the ten best wines of the Great Kang Kingdom. Due to its extreme scarcity, it is only enjoyed by the royal family.

Even Li Quan, a noble prince, could only get one gourd of this precious divine wine throughout the year.

"How could you bear to give me such a precious wine all at once?"

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and saw Li Quan's generous gift.

Li Quan responded: "Just think of it as a farewell party for Brother Chen. 'Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead. Everyone in the world knows you.'"

When Chen Ye heard this, he seemed to be touched.

"No one in the world knows you!"

He repeated, with great emotion, "What a great saying, who in the world doesn't know you!"

Then he accepted the gift, but insisted: "I never take favors from others for nothing. Considering your frailty, you can keep this book."

Chen Ye took out a book from his bosom, threw it on the stone table, and said, "If you practice according to the methods recorded in this book, you may not necessarily become a top martial arts master, but it will definitely help you strengthen your body."

Li Quan evaded the question: "Is it too late for me to start practicing martial arts at my age?"

Chen Ye joked, "Exercise more. It's good for men, especially. With your small body, I'm afraid you can't stand it."

Considering Miss Mingyue's strength, Chen Ye firmly believed that if something like that happened between her and Li Quan, Li Quan would be the first to surrender.

Hearing that martial arts training has such benefits, Li Quan immediately perked up: "Ahem, I, Li Quan, am a gentleman. As the saying goes, 'Heaven moves with vigor, and a gentleman strives to improve himself.' I will keep this book for now."

Chen Ye caught a glimpse of Li Quan's serious expression and laughed in silence. He could only shake his head and said, "Goodbye."

Li Quan also responded seriously: "Looking forward to seeing you next time."

He knew very well that after Chen Ye left this time, they might never have the chance to meet again in this life.

Although Chen Ye had promised to come find him when he returned to the capital, how easy was it for a leisurely prince in exile to re-enter the core of power?

In a flash, Chen Ye's figure disappeared into the night, leaving only his voice still echoing in Li Quan's ears: "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you!"

The next morning, Mingyue woke up slowly, but found that Li Quan had already gotten up.

When she entered the courtyard, she saw Li Quan practicing standing meditation with great concentration. She couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Husband, what are you doing?"

With her rich knowledge, Mingyue could tell at a glance that Li Quan was doing standing practice.

After all, the first basic skill that every martial arts novice must master is standing still. Only when the foundation of standing still is solid can they gradually delve into learning higher-level martial arts.

Seeing Mingyue coming over, Li Quan, who had been trying hard to hold the pose for about ten minutes, ended the pose.

"Nothing, just want to stretch your muscles."

Li Quan answered perfunctorily, deliberately avoiding the fact that this set of fitness spells can actually help improve that ability.

"Oh, although I don't understand these martial arts, I also know that everything must be done step by step. I see that your forehead is covered with sweat. Let me wipe it for you."

As Mingyue spoke, she wiped the sweat from Li Quan's cheeks with a handkerchief.

Li Quan took a deep breath, and the faint fragrance lingering around his nose made his heart tremble. It was hard for him to imagine that he had never held hands with a girl in his previous life, but after traveling through time here, he was lucky enough to marry a beautiful wife.

After wiping off Li Quan's sweat, Mingyue gently asked, "Do you have any important matters to attend to today? If not, how about accompanying me to stroll around Wuwei County? Although we already have a place to live, there are still many things that need to be purchased in the mansion, and servants and housekeepers also need to be selected."

Mingyue spoke in an orderly manner, just like a housewife.

After hearing this, Li Quan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go after noon. I still have to visit the Xiao County Magistrate first."

When Mingyue heard that Li Quan had something important to discuss with Xiao Changsheng, she readily agreed: "Then I'll wait for you at the mansion."

After Mingyue left, Li Quan did not continue standing in the stance. After all, his muscles were already sore after just a dozen minutes. If he continued practicing, he might not be able to go out normally in the afternoon.

The Prince of Qi's Mansion was located in the center of a busy street in Wuwei County, only three streets away from Xiao Changsheng's County Magistrate's Mansion. Li Quan quickly arrived at his destination.

After the notification, Xiao Changsheng immediately went out to greet Li Quan in person.

"Xiao Changsheng pays respect to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"

When he saw Li Quan, Xiao Changsheng bowed respectfully.

"How many times have I told you, Sir Xiao, you don't have to be so polite."

Li Quan smiled and responded, "This is not the capital, and our private meeting is not for official business. Sir Xiao, this would make you seem distant."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Although Xiao Changsheng agreed verbally, he still maintained extreme respect for Li Quan.

Li Quan understood that most people who practiced martial arts were stubborn, so he didn't say anything more.

Walking into the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Changsheng looked at Li Quan and asked directly, "I wonder if your highness has come to Xiao's place so early. Is there something important?"

Li Quan answered directly: "I came to Brother Xiao to ask for a favor."

"Your Highness, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."

"It's not a big deal actually. I came here today to ask Brother Xiao to help me recruit guards for Prince Qi's Palace."

"Although the Prince Qi's Palace is relatively stable in Wuwei County, according to convention, it is still necessary to recruit guards after the establishment of the palace."

"Brother Xiao is in charge of the military affairs of Wuwei County, so I came here to ask you to help me solve a problem!"

Li Quan revealed that the purpose of this trip was only to select a group of guards for the Prince of Qi's Palace from the garrison in Wuwei County.

When Xiao Changsheng heard this, he agreed without any hesitation.

After all, according to Dakang law, local princes had the right to recruit guards for their own palaces, and the number of people was not more than one thousand. Such a scale could only ensure self-protection and made it difficult to plot a rebellion, so Xiao Changsheng gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

"Leave it to me!"

Xiao Changsheng said cheerfully, "Your Highness's act of recruiting palace soldiers is completely in line with national laws. I happen to be going to the military camp to inspect the training situation. Why don't you come with me? I can select some elite soldiers for you."
