The waste prince is so fierce

Zeng Yuan finally felt relieved when he saw his daughter coming back.

Zeng Wenjing nodded, but his expression was still a little serious: “Dad, I have something to make clear.

I have already paid back the 80,000 taels of silver that my eldest brother owed.

As for half of the shops of our Zeng family business, the people of Ping An Casino have already handed them over to others.

From today on, I will live in the shop and I will not go home unless something serious happens. "

Zeng Wenjing felt that there was no warmth at home anymore, so she might as well focus all her attention on her career.

Moreover, Li Quan also reminded her to deal with the matters with the Zeng family properly. Severing relations with the Zeng family now can be regarded as giving an explanation to Li Quan.

When Zeng Wenjie heard this, he immediately stopped Zeng Wenjing and said, "What do you mean? You said the shop has been given to someone else by the gambling house? Then how can you still live there?"

He suspected Zeng Wenjing wanted to share the family property, so he warned: "I'm telling you, don't even think about sharing our Zeng family's things!"

Zeng Wenjing sneered: "You owe the debt, and the shop has long been not owned by the Zeng family.

If you want to get the shop back, go to the gambling den and see if they will give it back to you."

After saying that, she looked at Zeng Yuan and said, "Dad, I will no longer be in charge of the Zeng family business. If you want to give the shop to my eldest brother, just give it to me."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Mrs. Fan watched from the side, thinking: "Master, you worked hard to build the Zeng family, how can that girl take half of it?"

Zeng Yuan glared at her and said, "Why divide it? Your son lost half of the store himself! Didn't you always want to manage the family business? Now the rest of the store is handed over to you.

"Whether you want to make the Zeng family prosperous or ruin it, it's up to you!"

Zeng Wenjie was extremely happy when he heard this: "Dad, don't worry, I will make Zeng's business the largest merchant in Wuwei County!"

Zeng Yuan looked at his smug look and shook his head helplessly.

Time passed quickly and it was night in the blink of an eye.

Li Quan was watching the moon with Mingyue when Xiaoqiu suddenly ran over and said, "Your Highness, the wife of the Commandant Xiao has something urgent to discuss!"

Mingyue raised her eyebrows curiously: "It's so late, Madam Xiao came to see His Highness?"

She felt a little strange, after all, it was not appropriate to visit so late at night.

Xiao Qiu lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Uncle Fu has already taken Madam Xiao to the gatehouse and asked me to inform His Highness."

Li Quan thought for a moment and said, "Since Madam Xiao wants to see you so late at night, there must be something important.

Please invite her over.”

"Ok."

Xiaoqiu agreed and left the yard.

Usually, few people come to this small courtyard, and no one is allowed to enter except those around Li Quan.

Li Quan let Madam Xiao into the yard. First, he was afraid that Mingyue would misunderstand that he and Madam Xiao had some improper relationship. Second, he had a good relationship with Xiao Changsheng. When he first entered Wuwei County, the Xiao family had treated him warmly.

So, Li Quan asked Xiaoqiu to take Mrs. Xiao to the small courtyard.

Not long after, a young woman in black came in behind Xiaoqiu.

When Mingyue saw her, she immediately stood up and went to greet her.

"Sister Qiu Tong, why are you here so late?"

When Zheng Qiutong heard Mingyue's question, she immediately burst into tears and knelt in front of Li Quan and said, "Your Highness, please save Changsheng, you must save him!"

Seeing her like this, Li Quan quickly asked Mingyue to help her up, and then said, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, talk slowly."

"Didn't Brother Xiao go to suppress the bandits?"

Li Quan suddenly stopped talking here.

"Did something happen to Brother Xiao during his bandit suppression?"

Zheng Qiutong nodded while crying.

When Li Quan saw her like this, he frowned.

Although he always felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Changsheng leading troops to suppress bandits, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, Xiao Changsheng is the elite of the Black Armor Army. Even if he cannot defeat the bandits with a thousand men, he will have no problem protecting himself.

Now that Zheng Qiutong suddenly came to ask for help, Li Quan felt that something was wrong.

"Sister-in-law, tell me what you know so I can decide how to help you."

After hearing what Li Quan said, Zheng Qiutong stopped crying and said, "Changsheng's deputy general also came with me. He just escaped from Black Wind Village. Your Highness, please meet him."

"Tell him to come in."

Li Quan said to Xiao Qiu.

After a while, a middle-aged man in armor and covered in blood came in, half-knelt in front of Li Quan and said, "Wuwei County Qianzong Mengshan greets His Royal Highness the King of Qi!"

When Li Quan saw Meng Shan's appearance, he knew that he must have experienced a fierce battle.

He asked in a cold voice: "What's going on? Where is Lord Xiao now?"

Meng Shan stood up and said, "When I broke through the siege, Lord Xiao was still leading the brothers to resist.

However, according to my estimation, Lord Xiao may have fallen into the hands of the Smiling Tiger now. "

When Li Quan heard this, his brows furrowed.

"Marquis Xiao led a thousand elite soldiers to suppress the bandits. How could he be unable to defeat the three hundred horse bandits in Black Wind Village?"

Li Quan knew that the terrain of Black Wind Village was special and difficult to attack.

But Xiao Changsheng had many troops with him, and they were all elite. How could he not win? Li Quan really didn't believe it.

Xiao Changsheng is not a incompetent person. Even if he fails to capture the Black Wind Village, he will not be captured!

Li Quan looked at Meng Shan, his eyes full of confusion.

Meng Shan sighed, shook his head, and began to talk about their experience of suppressing bandits.

“This time we went to suppress the bandits, something was really wrong.

Those bandits from Black Wind Village seemed to know all our plans in advance."

"When Sir Xiao led us to Black Wind Mountain, before we had time to gain a foothold, Smiling Tiger and his men were lying in ambush waiting for us there."

"Lord Xiao reacted very quickly and ordered us to counterattack immediately, but the bandits took advantage of the terrain and we lost two hundred brothers in one fell swoop."

Li Quan frowned after hearing this: "Only 200 soldiers were lost? What about the remaining 800 soldiers? How could Lord Xiao not escape?"

Meng Shan took a deep breath and continued, "Yes, if we only lose 200 soldiers, our Wuwei Army is not a pushover and we will definitely be able to fight back.

However, just after we were caught off guard and before we had time to rest, our logistics and baggage train was robbed by bandits. "

“As a result, our entire team only has one day’s worth of food left.

In order to save me, Lord Xiao risked his life to break through the bandits' encirclement and let me come out to ask His Highness for help."

Speaking of this, Meng Shan, a grown man, couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Quan looked at Meng Shan and asked again: "Why didn't you go directly to the military camp in the north of the city to ask for help, but came to me instead? There are tens of thousands of Wuwei soldiers there, what's the point of you coming to me?"

Meng Shan wiped his tears and replied, "This is what Lord Xiao specifically told me before he asked me to break out.

He told me not to alert anyone else when I return to Wuwei County, and to go directly to his wife, who will then come to find you, Your Highness."
