The waste prince is so fierce

As soon as Zhao Wang heard He Chong's opening words, he guessed his intention.

"That's what it means."

He Chong nodded in response, seeing that Zhao Wang had understood.

Zhao Wang pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and smiled.

"Wonderful!"

"The Liu family is very wealthy, so it's a good thing for them to fight against Li Quan."

"You don't have to show up in person for this matter. I..."

"No, I'll go see Liu Zhixiong in person!"

Zhao Wang interrupted.

Thinking that the deadline given by the prince was approaching, Zhao Wang couldn't help but feel anxious.

If the prince's mission cannot be completed on time, the consequences will be disastrous!

The next morning.

Li Quanli used the secret passage in the house and brought Xing'er quietly to the house on Zhuque Street.

When we arrived, Xiao Laosan and Xiao Ting were already waiting at the door.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Prince of Qi!"

When the two men saw Li Quan coming, they wanted to perform a great salute, but Li Quan stopped them with his hand.

"I've already said that there's no need to be polite when we meet in the future, otherwise I'll let Xing'er deduct your monthly salary."

Li Quan smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Laosan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"It's almost time, I'll teach you how to make soap first.

After you learn it, you can pass it on to others.”

After Li Quan finished speaking, he began to demonstrate the soap making process from beginning to end.

Although Xiao Laosan is old, he has a very good memory and can learn most of it in one go.

Seeing that the two had basically mastered it, Li Quan was quite satisfied.

Although soap is his main source of profit at present, he does not consider it a top priority.

What Li Quan is most concerned about at the moment is how to transform the palace soldiers into an elite force that surpasses the Dakang Black Armor Army in the shortest time possible!

After the teaching was completed, Li Quanli returned to the Prince of Qi's Palace through a secret passage.

On the training ground, Li Pohuang was leading the child soldiers to practice standing still according to the secret manual.

Despite the abundant food, standing still was still a big challenge for them.

There is still a long way to go to reach the goal set by Li Quan of standing still for half an hour over three days.

However, Li Quan does not require everyone to meet the requirements within three days.

He set this goal to test the character and mentality of the dolls.

Without the spirit of facing challenges head-on and not fearing hardships, even with his support, they would hardly become the "Flying Tigers" in his mind!

"Sir!"

Seeing Li Quan appear at the training ground, Li Pohuang quickly ran over to salute.

Although he didn't understand why Li Quan asked them to call him "superior", Li Pohuang still obeyed his orders.

"Ah."

"How's the training going?"

As Li Quan asked, he looked into the distance and saw a group of young men sweating profusely and training hard.

"Sir, all 100 members of the Black Tiger Guard are here, no one is absent."

Li Pohuang responded seriously.

"Currently, three people have been able to hold out for a quarter of an hour, but no one has yet met the commander's standards."

He added.

Li Quan nodded slightly: "It's OK. There is only one day left before the three-day deadline. We need to speed up."

"After the assessment, the formal training will begin."

He ordered softly.

"As you command, sir!"

After Li Pohuang saluted, he returned to the Black Tiger Guard.

The Black Tiger Guard was the name of the unit that Li Quan carefully selected for this group of young men, intending to emulate Emperor Kang's Shadow Dragon Guard.

"It seems that you really value these young men."

Hearing Mingyue's voice beside his ears, Li Quan turned around with a look of surprise on his face.

He looked at the bright moon and said in a gentle voice, "Why are you here?"

Mingyue chuckled and said, "Since it's so hot today, let's send some water to quench the thirst of these young men."

As soon as she finished speaking, the servant behind her carried water and walked towards the training ground.

Li Quan said with emotion: "They are the foundation of my foothold in Liangzhou. Without them, I, the King of Qi, would only be in name only."

Mingyue sighed softly when she heard this.

She also understood Li Quan's situation.

Although he was a vassal king in name, he actually had no power or influence, and even Zhao Wang dared to challenge him.

Li Quan urgently needed to break the situation of being alone, and having a loyal force was the best way to do so.

This group of young people who were despised by Zhao Wang were his hope.

Mingyue seemed to sense the heaviness in Li Quan's words and suggested softly, "Perhaps, you can put aside these troubles and be a free and easy prince?"

Li Quan chuckled and shook his head: "How can I do whatever I want in the imperial family? But please rest assured, with me here, no one can touch you."

These words caused ripples in Mingyue's heart.

She said softly, "I don't understand these political affairs, so I will just manage your accounts for you."

Li Quan suddenly thought: "By the way, do you know any famous weapon forgers and armor makers in the county? I want to make excellent equipment for the Black Tiger Guards."

Mingyue shook her head: "I have never asked about this, but Xiao Junwei is in the army, so he may know something."

Li Quan slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, how could I forget about him! I will go find County Magistrate Xiao right away. Thank you, Madam, for reminding me."

After saying that, he gave Mingyue a warm hug and hurriedly left the training ground.

After Li Quan left, Mingyue remained standing there in a daze, as if she was in a trance.

"Miss, Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Xiaoqiu stretched out her hands and waved them gently in front of Mingyue's eyes, trying to get her attention back.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Mingyue woke up as if from a dream and came back to her senses.

Looking at Mingyue's somewhat dazed expression, Xiaoqiu showed a sly smile on her face.

"Miss, could it be that you really have feelings for His Highness?"

As a member of Yihua Palace, Xiaoqiu naturally knew Mingyue's real purpose of approaching Li Quan.

However, at this moment, seeing Mingyue's reaction, she couldn't help but feel that Mingyue had developed true feelings for Li Quan.

Hearing this, Mingyue's face flushed slightly.

"You little girl, stop talking nonsense."

"Miss, I'm just talking. What matters is your feelings."

"us……"

"I understand."

Before Xiaoqiu could finish her words, Mingyue interrupted her with a hint of coldness in her tone.

Mingyue turned and left, feeling depressed. Xiaoqiu looked at her leaving back, with complicated emotions in her eyes...

After leaving Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Quan immediately went to Xiao Changsheng's County Magistrate's Mansion.

However, the housekeeper told him that Xiao Changsheng was not at home at the moment, but had gone to the camp in the north of the city.

Upon hearing the news, Li Quan rushed directly to the camp in the north of the city without stopping.

As soon as he stepped into the camp, he heard Xiao Changsheng's voice coming from the tent.

"I just sent you to suppress the bandits, why did it cost you three thousand strings of cash?"

In Dakang, one string of money was equal to one thousand coins, or one tael of silver, so three thousand strings of money was three thousand taels of silver.

Inside the big tent, Xiao Changsheng was harshly questioning the deputy county lieutenant Wang Li.

Wang Li showed great disdain for Xiao Changsheng's questioning.

"Sir, sending troops to suppress bandits will naturally cost money, but what does three thousand strings of cash mean?"

Relying on the support of the county magistrate Zhao Wang, Wang Li didn't care about Xiao Changsheng at all.

Seeing that Wang Li not only could not explain the purpose of the three thousand strings of cash, but also acted like he didn't care, Xiao Changsheng was furious.

"Three thousand strings of cash! That's the expenses of ten ordinary families for fifteen years, and it's also the monthly salary of three thousand soldiers!"
