But Jinzhong had grown up under everyone's watch. Even if the brothers attacked him, they only tortured him in the training ground and ordered him to do a lot of tiring tasks.

Sometimes, when he is so busy, Jinzhong will inevitably not be able to get a good rest for several days and nights.

Yin Qi in the palace was itching to see how they were torturing his nephew, but he couldn't leave the palace. All he could do was to catch his nephew and give him a beating when the court was over.

Everyone fought bravely for more than a month before finally stopping this childish game.

Actually, it was Prince Zhi who called a halt to this matter in advance. After all, he and Jinzhong had spent the most time together over the years.

Seeing Jinzhong like this for a long time, I feel both hateful and heartbroken.

So on this day, after his brothers listened to him and stopped, Prince Zhi came to the military camp riding the beloved horse given to him by Yinqi.

Just then, I saw Jinzhong, who had just finished a day of hard training with the generals under Prince Dun, and was about to change his clothes and return to Prince Li's palace.

Although Prince Zhi now looked unhappy when he saw Jinzhong, he still came over and poured a pot of warm water on him when Jinzhong took off the weight of dozens of kilograms, then turned around and snorted coldly.

Jinzhong, who had already noticed Prince Zhi's little trick, pretended to be startled and turned around with a bright smile.

"Big Brother"

If he had said "big brother" in the past, Prince Zhi would have definitely responded directly.

But when Prince Zhi heard the word "big brother" now, it felt so irritating to his ears.

Prince Zhi was so angry that his back teeth were almost broken. He kicked Jinzhong's butt and growled.

"Don't call me Big Brother, I'm not your Big Brother"

Jinzhong, who was kicked, still smiled and patted the dust off his robe, showing his white teeth as he answered.

"Okay, brother"

Seeing his shameless look, Prince Zhi wanted to punch him twice.

But thinking that Jinzhong must be tired after just finishing training, Prince Zhi had to glare at Jinzhong fiercely and took several deep breaths before continuing to speak.

"I came here today to tell you that the Emperor intends to let you go to Tibet. Are you willing?"

In fact, Prince Zhi was lying to Jinzhong. This suggestion was made by Prince Dun when they were discussing with the brothers a few days ago.

He still remembered the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces when they looked at Prince Dun after he made this suggestion.

If the problem could be solved by transferring Jinzhong away, they would have tied him up and sent him to the border long ago.

But if they really did that, they probably wouldn't even be able to wait until the next day. As soon as they sent the person away, Yin Qi would follow and kidnap the person in the next hour and then wander around the world.

So this final proposal was ended by Prince Rui, who slapped Prince Dun's stupid head twice.

(Prince Dun: I think the fact that I am not smart is something my ninth brother taught me since I was a child.)

"Yes"

After hearing what Prince Zhi said, Jinzhong agreed without changing his expression.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Prince Zhi was also stunned.

Huh? What happened? Did we win just like that?

But before he could react, he heard Jinzhong's next words.

"But if I leave and my brothers fail to stop Ah Qi, and we elope, and you can't find us, I won't be able to do anything about it."

Sure enough, Prince Zhi took a deep breath and he knew that this little wolf cub was no good.

But he was reluctant to give up directly, so he tried to test Jinzhong from a different angle.

"You're dreaming. How can you be sure that Qi'er will come to find you? Has Qi'er come to see you once in all these days?"

This question left Jinzhong silent.

Well...how should I put it, we see each other every day, not only do we meet, we also sleep together every day.

However, he couldn't say this to Prince Zhi, so Jinzhong could only look at Prince Zhi with a helpless expression.

"Brother, I really don't want to expose you, so I don't need to tell you what's going on."

Prince Zhi, whose lie was instantly exposed, turned his head away in embarrassment. Tsk, it's so hard to fool him.

"Humph! You are just pretending to be calm. I am too lazy to argue with you."

As he spoke, Prince Zhi, feeling guilty, walked quickly out of the military camp with his hands behind his back.

But before he took a few steps, Jinzhong's rare serious voice came from behind him.

"Brother, I will accept any training you give me, but if you want to separate me and Ah Qi, I will kill you."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhi suddenly turned around and looked at Jinzhong, whose eyes were full of seriousness and determination.

Looking at Jinzhong in front of him, Prince Zhi seemed to see Yinqi who had said the same words to him that day.

He stared into Jinzhong's eyes for a long time, and finally, Prince Zhi sighed helplessly.

Then he quickly changed his face to an angry expression, walked up to Jinzhong again and kicked Jinzhong hard before turning around and leaving again.

Jinzhong also smiled foolishly and waited until the people walked away before he said loudly, "Goodbye, big brother," which made Prince Zhi even more angry.

Only then did he return to the courtyard of Prince Li's mansion, and then entered the space to talk to Yin Qi about what happened today.

Although Yinqi was detained in the palace by Yongzheng during this period, there were still carriages and horses coming and going in the prince's palace built outside the palace every day.

These endless stream of carriages also carried some necessary items that Yinqi's puppets pretended to buy, as well as finished furniture, doors and windows.

The rest were all gifts sent by his brothers after Yin Qi built the mansion. More than a dozen truckloads of them were delivered in just a few days, as if these things were free.

Especially the gifts from the two royal palaces of Zhili and Li are the most valuable and rare ones for each brother.

After all, since the first voyage in the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, the leaders of the voyages in the following years have all been replaced by Hongfang (the second son of Prince Zhi) and Hongxi.

In recent years, the Qing Dynasty has had cargo ships going out to sea for business every year, which has led to one in every hundred people in the capital being a foreigner, and the culture of foreigners has gradually merged with that of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, when the Qing Dynasty went out to sea for trade, other countries would also have ships following the Qing Dynasty's ships back.

When those people first came, they were all arrogant and looked down on others. They all wanted to come to the Qing Dynasty to show off how prosperous and advanced their country was.

Of course, this is not their fault. Even though the Qing Dynasty had gone out to sea for trade in previous years, it had to admit that they lagged behind foreign countries in terms of weapons and industry.

Even though Yinqi had accepted a lot of things they "gave" in the past few years, they would never believe that the Qing Dynasty would surpass them within a few years.

It’s a pity that these were just delusions they had before they came to the Qing Dynasty.

Today's Qing Dynasty is indeed half a step behind these countries in industry.

But when it comes to firearms alone, Yinqi can guarantee that no country on earth today can surpass the Qing Dynasty.

So when those foreigners came to the Qing Dynasty full of pride and satisfaction, but after seeing the strength of the Qing Dynasty, they finally returned to their countries with the same fear and caution.
