The waste prince is so fierce

Although many people along the way cast admiring glances at Mingyue, when they learned that the man next to her was the prince of the current dynasty, they all lowered their heads in awe.

"He Chong, He's Store... We were just wondering how to fight back, but we didn't expect them to come to us on their own accord."

Li Quan muttered to himself.

Mingyue asked in confusion after hearing this: "Husband, what did you say to deliver it to my door?"

Only then did Li Quan come back to his senses.

"Ah, nothing."

Li Quan was vague, "I mean if you buy too much, you can ask the merchant to deliver directly to your home."

At the same time, in the imperial palace thousands of miles away from Wuwei County, Emperor Kang was paying attention to Hong Tianyang, the commander of the Shadow Dragon Guard below.

"Laojiu has arrived in Liangzhou. How is he doing there?"

Hong Tianyang responded: "Although there were some twists and turns along the way, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has arrived safely in Liangzhou."

Emperor Kang put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "What difficulties did you encounter on the road?"

Hong Tianyang, who was thin and had a hoarse voice, replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was attacked by a gangster assassin on the way to Liangzhou. Fortunately, he escaped danger and was not injured."

"Someone in the martial arts world actually dared to assassinate the King of Qi who was personally appointed by me!"

A strong sense of oppression suddenly emanated from Kangdi.

"It is a killer organization called Senluodian. The mastermind behind it has not yet been identified."

Hong Tianyang continued his report.

"I have sent people to track it down, and they will definitely find it..."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Kang said, "Since the King of Qi is fine, there is no need to pursue this matter any further."

Hong Tianyang was surprised by Emperor Kang's decision, but he still obeyed the emperor's will and did not ask any more questions.

After spending half a day strolling around the Wuwei County market, Li Quan and Mingyue spent a total of more than three thousand taels of silver to purchase various necessities for the Prince of Qi's palace.

Although he had asked someone to send the purchased items back to Prince Qi's Palace, Li Quan looked a little tired after running around for an afternoon.

He noticed that Mingyue walked more than him, so he asked with concern: "Madam, are you tired?"

Mingyue answered with a slightly tired look: "A little bit."

Li Quan suggested: "Then I'll carry you home?"

Mingyue was stunned: "Ah?"

Li Quan insisted: "We have been walking for a long time. It is getting dark now and there is no one on the road. Nothing will happen.

Besides, I am the King of Qi, why should I care about what others think? If anyone dares to gossip, I will put him in jail. "

Unable to resist Li Quan, Mingyue could only shyly lie on Li Quan's back, her heartbeat quickening.

Three days passed in a flash. Under the guidance of Xiao Changsheng, the soldiers of the Prince of Qi's Palace selected by Li Quan received preliminary training.

In the military camp in the north of the city, Li Quan looked at the neatly arranged team of child soldiers and felt quite satisfied.

"Your Highness has given me a limited amount of time. If I can give them more time, I can teach them the skills of coordinated operations, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

Xiao Changsheng, who was standing next to him, expressed his views to Li Quan.

He originally planned to give Li Quan a week to train these child soldiers, but he didn't expect that Li Quan only gave three days.

Therefore, Xiao Changsheng could only provide basic training for these child soldiers.

Facing Xiao Changsheng's explanation, Li Quan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry too much. Brother Xiao has taught them so much in just three days, which is already quite good."

Li Quan did not let Xiao Changsheng increase the intensity of training, not because he did not trust Xiao Changsheng's ability, but because he had his own plans. He wanted to use more advanced training methods to personally train this group of child soldiers and build a unique elite force that belonged to him, Li Quan.

Xiao Changsheng only needs to teach them basic discipline, and the specific training content will be designed by Li Quan himself.

Seeing that Li Quan showed satisfaction towards these child soldiers who did not yet have strong combat capabilities, Xiao Changsheng was filled with doubts.

However, given that this seemingly gentle prince easily resolved Zhao Wang's difficulties time and time again, Xiao Changsheng also wanted to see whether Li Quan could truly gain a foothold in Liangzhou.

So he called out to a young man standing at the front of the team: "Ergou, come here!"

When the young man heard the call, he immediately ran forward and saluted to Li Quan and Xiao Changsheng: "Ergou greets His Royal Highness the King of Qi! Ergou greets the Commandant Xiao!"

Xiao Changsheng introduced Li Quan: "This kid is smart and steady, so I made him the team leader.

If Your Highness feels that the person is not suitable, you can change the candidate."

In ancient armies, due to the large number of people, it was difficult to manage with one person alone, so the principle of organization of five people in a group and twenty-five people in a row was adopted to facilitate the efficient transmission of orders and help generals effectively command the army.

After learning that Ergou was the team leader designated by Xiao Changsheng, Li Quan looked at him carefully.

Although this young man is thin, his eyes are full of determination.

"Let him be the captain, but the name Ergou lacks dignity. It would be better to change it to Pohuang, Li Pohuang!"

Taking into account the long-term threat posed by the Huang tribe to the western border of Dakang, Li Quan, as the King of Qi in Liangzhou, changed Ergou's name to "Pohuang", which has profound meaning.

Ergou was filled with gratitude and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the name!"

Li Quan helped him up and said gently, "You lead the team back to the mansion now, I will be there soon."

Li Pohuang took the order and led the rest of the soldiers back to Prince Qi's palace.

Li Quan then left the military camp, returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, and immediately found Mingyue.

"Madam, ask Xiaoqiu to buy some food according to the list. The soldiers have arrived, and the expenses will increase significantly."

Mingyue didn't take Li Quan's instructions too seriously at first.

"It's just a hundred more children, how much will it cost?"

However, when she looked through the purchase list handed over by Li Quan, Mingyue couldn't help but be stunned.

"One hundred catties of beef, fifty catties of mutton, one hundred shi of rice..."

She was surprised at the food standards set by Li Quan for the soldiers in the palace, which were even comparable to the treatment of fifth-rank officials in the imperial court.

"My dear, isn't this meal too sumptuous? This is the standard for a fifth-rank official!"

In Dakang, even wealthy landlord families found it difficult to have fish and meat every day, but Li Quan arranged beef and mutton for every meal for the soldiers, which made Mingyue very confused.

Li Quan smiled and explained: "These children could only eat leftovers in the military camp before, and their nutritional status was worrying. Most of them were very thin.

If we want them to have sufficient fighting power, we must first improve their food and strengthen their physical fitness."

However, Mingyue pointed out worriedly: "According to this food standard, I'm afraid our current funds can't sustain it for a year."

Although Li Quan brought more than 100,000 taels of silver from the capital, at this rate of spending, the most optimistic estimate is that it would be used up within a year.

After all, even in the Western Territory where the Wilderness Clan trades frequently, the prices of beef and mutton are still high, and ordinary people can often only taste them during festivals.

Facing Mingyue's worries, Li Quan patted her hands gently and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Leave the money-making to your husband.

Ask Xiaoqiu to buy some other supplies besides the food. I will write down the list now."
