The waste prince is so fierce

Ah Zhen pushed the crowd away angrily and left.

Li Quan watched Ah Zhen go away with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Seeing this, Mingyue chuckled and said, "Everyone has left, but you are still staring at them. Do you really want to marry a princess of the Huang tribe?"

Upon hearing this, Li Quan quickly retracted his gaze and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "I, Li Quan, am an upright gentleman, how could I have such thoughts!"

Although according to the customs of the Huang tribe, Azhen has reached the marriageable age, Li Quan has no such intention.

He pondered, "I was just wondering what she meant by 'I won't let it go easily'."

"Well, maybe it's just that as a princess, she doesn't want to lose face, so she just said it casually."

Mingyue speculated, "Da Kang is now gaining prestige, how dare the Huang people easily become an enemy of Da Kang?"

Li Quan nodded slightly after hearing this: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

He turned to ask Xiao Changsheng: "Xiao Junwei, why are you not on duty in Wuwei County, but showing up here? If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the conflict between me and Wanyan Zhen would not be easy to resolve."

Xiao Changsheng replied: "Your Highness, you may not know that according to the rules, every month when Xihuang Town holds a big market, I will lead my troops to guard this place.

I just received a report that something happened, so I came here quickly. Fortunately, Your Highness is safe and sound, otherwise I would be blamed. "

He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he recalled the possible serious consequences.

Li Quan's eyes flickered: "It seems that the Western Territory does not completely trust the alliance with the Wilderness Clan."

"It is true that although Da Kang abides by the agreement, the people of the Huang tribe are fierce and no one can guarantee whether they can keep their word."

Xiao Changsheng said calmly, "We in the Western Territory will indeed send troops to garrison Xihuang Town, and so will the Huang Clan. There is no difference between the two sides."

Li Quan told Xiao Changsheng: "The princess and I still want to tour Xihuang Town. If the county lieutenant has no urgent official business, he can handle it on his own."

He knew that Xiao Changsheng was responsible for maintaining order in Xihuang Town, and it was inconvenient for him to follow him all the time.

"I have arranged several people to protect you. As long as Your Highness does not leave Xihuang Town, that group of people will not be able to pose a threat to you."

Xiao Changsheng was also concerned about Wanyan Zhen's possible counterattack and did not dare to take it lightly.

Li Quan expressed his gratitude to Xiao Changsheng for his care. After the two parted, Li Quan and Mingyue continued to stroll in Xihuang Town.

Soon, Mingyue walked towards a stall selling cattle.

"Girl, do you want to buy a cow?"

The Huang tribe merchant wearing a felt hat was enthusiastic, "Look, these cows have bright fur and bright eyes, and they are of high quality."

Although the merchant recognized Mingyue from Dakang at first sight, this did not affect his active promotion. After all, everyone is equal in business, and sometimes even when facing enemies, as long as there is benefit, cooperation can be achieved.

Mingyue asked gently, "I wonder if your store can supply fresh milk every day?"

"milk?"

The old man from the Huang tribe raised his eyebrows and said, "If you can ensure the daily supply of fresh milk, we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship."

Seeing Mingyue wanting to buy milk from the Huang people for a long time, Li Quan smiled and shook his head, knowing her motive: thrift. The Huang people are nomadic people, good at making all kinds of dairy products, such as milk tea, milk cakes, etc.

Purchasing milk directly from the Huang tribe is obviously more economical than purchasing it from Wuwei County at a high price every day.

The old man said thoughtfully, "Milk is indeed available, but it is not easy to keep fresh. If you need it delivered daily, I will have to bear the additional transportation costs."

Wuwei County did not prohibit the people of the Huang tribe from entering the city to do business. As long as they passed the security check at the city gate, merchants from the Huang tribe could also enter the city smoothly to trade.

"I can afford the daily transportation costs to the city. As for the price of milk..."

Before Mingyue finished speaking, the old man from the Huang tribe responded decisively: "According to the market price, a bucket of milk is worth about 2 taels, 2 qian and 3 cents. If the girl is sure that she has a long-term demand, I can give you a discount of 2 taels per bucket."

Compared to the price of 4 liang 7 qian in Wuwei County, this place can save more than half. Mingyue heard the offer and happily agreed.

"Very good, let's do as you say, four barrels a day. If we need to increase or decrease the amount in the future, we can discuss it later."

Li Quan saw Mingyue buying milk from the old man of the Huang clan in order to save a few taels of silver every day, and couldn't help but whispered: "Madam, why is my Qi Wang Mansion so embarrassed? Your actions..."

"How do you know? Money is accumulated bit by bit. The expenses of Prince Qi's Mansion are huge. If we save a little here and a little there, it will add up to a lot."

Mingyue retorted. Li Quan knew that Mingyue was very careful with her money, so he said no more, but reminded her to check whether the milk supplied to the Black Tiger Guards was poisonous every day. After all, the seller was a member of the Huang tribe, and the Black Tiger Guards were an important trump card in his hand, so he had to be on guard.

Mingyue responded solemnly: "It's all up to you."

At this time, Wanyan Zhen, who had failed to succeed and lost Mingyue, was still unwilling to give up.

Seeing that she was depressed, the tall guard behind her suggested: "Princess, how about we capture the King of Qi and the Queen?"

After hearing this, Wanyan Zhen became even more furious: "How can we capture him when we have the Western Border Army protecting us? I have heard that there is a King of Qi in the Western Border, but I did not expect him to be so sinister and cunning. I am afraid that our Huang Clan's plan will be difficult to implement."

The tall guard disagreed with Wanyan Zhen's evaluation: "Princess, that man is just a low-level person, how can he stop my Huang clan's grand plan?"

Wanyan Zhen snorted coldly: "What do you know? If he were a powerful person who was full of benevolence and righteousness, he would be easier to deal with.

What I fear most is this kind of insidious and cunning people who will do anything to achieve their goals.”

With a determined look, she ordered the tall guard Ali: "From now on, do your best to collect information about this person. I have a feeling that we will meet again soon."

Wanyan Zhen solemnly gave orders to the tall guard Ali behind him: "Ali, act immediately."

Although Ali had reservations about Wanyan Zhen's decision, he still obeyed resolutely: "Yes, Princess."

He asked Wanyan Zhen if she wanted to continue browsing the market, but Wanyan Zhen waved her hand and refused: "Forget it, I don't feel like shopping anymore, let's go back."

She turned her head and stared at Xihuang Town with a firm look in her eyes: "Beautiful sister, I will definitely take you back. That pretty boy is not worthy of you!"

After Wanyan Zhen left, Li Quan and his party continued to stroll around the market leisurely.

Li Quan had been feeling a lot of pressure lately due to the heavy workload of soap production and the Black Tiger Guard, so he gladly accepted this rare opportunity to relax.

As he strolled, Li Quan's eyes were attracted by a strange black stone on a stall.

The stone was not big and was covered with countless irregular holes. With just one glance, Li Quan concluded that the football-sized object was actually a meteorite from outer space.

He leaned over to take a closer look, becoming more and more certain that his judgment was correct.

"Uncle, are you selling these black stones too?"

Li Quan tentatively asked the middle-aged stall owner.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Li Quan with disdain: "If you don't understand, don't get in the way and don't delay my business."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and rested, showing that he was unwilling to talk more with Li Quan.

Seeing this, Li Quan thought that the stall owner should know the value of this meteorite.

He pretended to be puzzled: "This stone seems to be similar to the meteorite recorded in the book."

Afterwards, Li Quan decisively expressed his willingness to buy: "I want this stone. May I ask how much it costs?"

The middle-aged man responded coldly: "Five hundred taels, one price."
