The waste prince is so fierce

However, his rebuke was immediately stopped by the tall guard: "How dare you be so rude to the princess!"

The guard then produced an iron plate with wolf patterns carved on it. Upon seeing this, the bearded man was so frightened that he fell off his horse.

"Meet... Meet Princess Azhen!"

Everyone realized at this moment that the spoiled girl was actually the princess of the barbarian tribe, and they couldn't help but tremble with fear. Although fighting was strictly prohibited in Xihuang Town, the princess was of noble status, and the rules of the town were like waste paper to her.

"This kid is so unlucky that he actually offended the barbarian princess!"

There were sighs from the crowd.

Princess Azhen's identity is revealed, and the situation suddenly becomes unfavorable to Li Quan.

The young girl Ah Zhen looked expressionlessly at the bearded captain who was half-kneeling on the ground and performing the Huang Clan salute to her. She put her hands behind her back and said calmly, "Stand up."

The bearded captain stood up in panic.

"Beautiful sister, now that you know my identity, you can probably guess who my brother is."

Princess Ah Zhen continued, "As long as you are willing to be my sister-in-law, my brother can do whatever you want. It is much better than following that pretty boy."

The girl seemed to have deep hostility towards Li Quan, either because of the previous conflict or simply because of disgust. Faced with the girl's persistence, Mingyue could only respond helplessly:

"Little sister, I will never leave with you, so just give up on this idea."

Hearing Mingyue's refusal, Princess Ah Zhen's face darkened:

"To tell you the truth, I have a crush on you. Today you must agree to be my sister-in-law. There is no room for negotiation!"

After he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Huang tribe quickly surrounded Li Quan, Mingyue and Li Pohuang. Seeing this, the onlookers all avoided them, fearing that they would be involved in the trouble.

Facing the aggressive soldiers of the Huang tribe, Li Quan remained calm and composed:

"This is Xihuang Town, where the Huang Clan and our Western Territory have agreed not to engage in warfare. Are you going to break the contract?"

Despite being at a disadvantage, Li Quan still showed a calm demeanor, which surprised Princess Azhen a little.

"I didn't expect that you, a pretty boy, are so brave that you can remain calm in the face of my soldiers from the Wilderness Clan."

She thought to herself that she had thought Li Quan would be so frightened when he saw the guards that he would obediently hand over Mingyue. However, Li Quan showed no fear and remained calm, which surprised Ah Zhen.

"This is indeed Xihuang Town, but I have no intention of breaking the contract in the name of the Huang Clan."

Princess Azhen responded coldly.

"I just suspect that you and the store owner are colluding to manipulate prices, so I asked the captain to take you back to assist in the investigation. What's wrong with that?"

Faced with Li Quan's questioning, a hint of cunning flashed across the girl Ah Zhen's eyes.

Li Quan had previously forced her to pay an extra two thousand strings of cash by charging a high price. Now she took the opportunity to retaliate against him, accusing Li Quan of colluding with the shop owner to raise prices.

In fact, she could have purchased the raw stone for 3,000 guan, but the cost doubled due to Li Quan's intervention.

On the surface, they claim to be conducting an investigation, but in reality, once the person is taken away, the subsequent disposal is entirely up to them.

"We are arresting you on suspicion of price manipulation and defrauding customers. Please come with us."

The bearded man approached Li Quan and made a stern declaration.

Li Quan frowned slightly when he heard this. Just as the soldiers of the Huang tribe approached, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Stop, who dares to move!"

Then, a group of armored cavalrymen came galloping from behind Li Quan. Li Quan felt relieved when he saw that the leader was Xiao Changsheng.

"This is Xihuang Town, what do you want to do?"

While Xiao Changsheng was shouting at the soldiers of the Huang tribe, he glanced at the besieged Li Quan.

When he saw clearly that the trapped person was Li Quan, he was startled.

Although conflicts are strictly prohibited in Xihuang Town, Li Quan is a member of the Dakang royal family and the current King of Qi. If something unexpected happens to him, Xiao Changsheng will face a devastating disaster.

"Xiao Changsheng, we are arresting a criminal who manipulates prices and defrauds customers. It has nothing to do with you!"

The bearded man, who had always had a grudge against Xiao Changsheng, responded strongly.

"Price manipulation? Fraud? It's pure nonsense!"

Xiao Changsheng refuted the other party's accusation against Li Quan, then turned to Li Quan and saluted respectfully: "Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty the Prince of Qi!"

"Qi...His Royal Highness King Qi!"

"He is actually the King of Qi!"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and couldn't believe that the elegant scholar-like man in front of them was actually the Prince of Dakang, the King of Qi appointed by Emperor Kang.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you kneel down and salute immediately? Do you want to die?"

The people from the Western Territory present all came to their senses, pulling their companions to kneel before Li Quan. This scene shocked the people of the Huang tribe, and the soldiers who originally wanted to capture Li Quan hurriedly retreated.

"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Highness, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Xiao Changsheng knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Please stand up, Commander Xiao. The king is fine."

Li Quan raised his hand to signal, and Xiao Changsheng stood up.

"You said that my Highness the Great Kangqi Prince would manipulate prices and defraud others for a mere two thousand strings of cash?"

After Xiao Changsheng stood up, he questioned the bearded man with a stern expression.

The bearded man was speechless for a moment. If Li Quan was just a commoner, accusing him of a crime might not be a big deal.

However, Li Quan was not an ordinary person. He was a member of the royal family of Dakang and had an extremely respected status.

If the bearded man insisted on accusing Li Quan of being a liar, it would undoubtedly be a blatant insult to the Dakang royal family and even the entire Dakang Kingdom. Such a charge was definitely not something that a small captain of the guard in Xihuang Town could bear.

If the situation escalates, it may even lead to a full-scale war between Dakang and the Huang tribe.

It should be noted that Dakang, under the leadership of the peerless commander Xu Yingnan, had just defeated a powerful enemy in the north not long ago, and is now at the peak of its national strength.

For the Huang clan, becoming an enemy of Dakang at this moment would undoubtedly be a self-inflicted disaster.

Thinking of this, the bearded man looked at Princess Ah Zhen eagerly, seeking help. Ah Zhen noticed the bearded man's gaze and was about to speak, but the tall guard behind her whispered something. After hearing the guard's words, Ah Zhen's face flashed with disappointment.

"This is purely a misunderstanding. General Xiao, there is no need to be angry."

Ah Zhen understood that after learning about Li Quan's identity, she had no hope of bringing Mingyue back as her sister-in-law, so she had to give up. However, just as she finished explaining and was about to leave, Li Quan, who had Xiao Changsheng's support, stopped her.

"Wait a minute."

Li Quan said in a stern tone, "Not only did you falsely accuse me of being a liar, you also attempted to make the wife of the King of Qi of Dakang become your sister-in-law. Do you want to just walk away?"

Li Quan's words made Ah Zhen stop and suppress her anger and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing else, it's just that my reputation has been damaged, and I need you to make compensation."

As Li Quan spoke, he glanced at the rough stone in Ah Zhen's hand. Ah Zhen understood what he meant and angrily threw the rough stone at Li Quan.

"Despicable, shameless!"

Ah Zhen couldn't help cursing, "My beautiful sister is wasting her precious talent by marrying a man like you!"

"Whether she is a good person or not is not for you to comment on. You should go home and find a wife for your lonely brother!"

Li Quan said sarcastically, although Ah Zhen didn't understand the meaning of "single dog", she knew it was not a good thing.

"You! I've made a note of this and I will never let it go!"
