"No matter what favor you ask me for, I will definitely help you complete it."
The prince assured Gao Zhijun.
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Highness. Let's eat first and talk about it later."
Gao Zhijun felt relieved after receiving the prince's guarantee.
So, everyone had their meal, and after they were full, Gao Zhijun invited the prince, Huo Jinqian, Qinglong, and Gulang to the study.
Zhuang Die took the Sun family back to pack their luggage and start living in the courtyard in the east of the city tomorrow.
Huo Jin took the Huo family back to the Huo Mansion, planning to go to bed early and get up early so that he could help when the clinic opened tomorrow.
After entering the study, Xiaoli brought tea with her maid and then left.
"Prince, you are well aware of Ning Zeming's background. Keeping such a person around would be a huge threat to my grandmother's family.
I don't like this kind of dragging things out. I would like to ask the prince for a favor and catch them all in one fell swoop.
You know, although the rats in the gutter can't bite people to death, they can occasionally pop out and annoy people. I don't want to experience this feeling of being unable to guard against them. The only way to prevent them from coming out and annoying people is to crush them to death and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Gao Zhijun did not beat around the bush; she stated her purpose directly and clearly.
"Okay, when do you want to start?"
The prince agreed without hesitation.
She is not only the county lady, but also the woman his cousin likes, the daughter of the general of cavalry, and the granddaughter of the minister of revenue. He should help her with any of these identities.
What's more, he had taken two life-extending pills. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have helped him, and one should be merciful to those who have helped him. He should help.
"To prevent any further trouble, let's do it tonight.
I have to be busy with the clinic tomorrow and won't be able to spare the time to guard against him."
Gao Zhijun said.
"Alright! Lone Wolf, take War Wolf and go find Governor Xing Huaichuan and have him send troops to capture Ning Zeming. All the brothels, underground banks, and underground casinos he's involved in must be taken under control.
The people in the government office and his people in the provincial government are also secretly under control. I will personally conduct the trial the day after tomorrow."
The prince gave Lone Wolf a task and asked him to carry it out.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The lone wolf immediately obeyed the order.
The prince took the token and handed it to Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf and War Wolf rode out of Huojia Village and went to the Governor's Mansion to find Governor Xing.
"County Lady, how about I leave three guards behind to protect your personal safety?"
Thinking about what happened tonight and considering that she had to take care of so many people, the prince felt that he should leave three guards for her.
This time, he brought a total of ten guards, all of whom were very agile. If he left three behind, there would be seven to escort him back to the capital, which would not be a problem. Furthermore, Eunuch Wang also had three experts by his side.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will not accept it. Your safety is the most important thing. I will go buy a few more people to protect them the day after tomorrow."
Gao Zhijun refused, saying that the prince's guards were among the best and were dedicated to protecting his safety, so how could she dare to accept them.
"Please accept it, County Lady. I'll leave Canglang, Tianlang, and Polang to you. The martial arts of these three are better than Qinglong's."
The prince said to Gao Zhijun.
Canglang's kungfu is slightly worse than Zhanlang's. Although Tianlang and Polang's kungfu are not as good, they are better than Qinglong's.
Huo Jinqian was afraid that Gao Zhijun would refuse again, so he said, "Since it's a gift from your cousin the Crown Prince, you should accept it. Otherwise, your cousin will be worried."
Gao Zhijun thought about it and realized that since she was trying to curry favor with someone powerful, she shouldn't be too pretentious. So she said, "I am flattered and will accept your kindness, Your Highness."
"Cang Lang!"
The prince said to the outside of the door.
"I'm here!"
Canglang pushed open the door and came in and said respectfully.
"Starting tomorrow, you will stay with Tianlang and Polang to protect the County Master and obey her orders. From now on, the County Master will be your new master, and you must obey her in everything. Do you understand?
If you can't do that, then follow the rules of the Dark Guard Camp: three cuts and six holes!"
The prince said to Canglang seriously.
The rules of the Dark Guard Camp are more than just three knives and six holes. Three knives and six holes refer to the punishment for not listening to the master.
If someone betrayed their master, their tendons in their hands and feet would be cut, and they would be whipped for 49 days. Each day of the whipping would be 49 times, and the whip would be soaked in salt water before it was used.
Just imagine how painful and uncomfortable it would be if salt water touched the wound. It’s creepy to think about it.
"Yes, Your Highness. I will loyally protect the County Lady and will never betray her."
Canglang promised immediately.
He didn't want to experience the pain of cramps and whipping.
"Okay, I believe you!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Canglang.
"Canglang greets the new master. If you have any questions, please feel free to give them instructions."
Canglang saluted Gao Zhijun.
"Canglang, you don't need to show any great courtesy to me. You just need to do one thing well and be loyal.
Besides, I am only a county lord and cannot give you any power, but I can give you wealth and glory."
Gao Zhijun said to Canglang.
Power, she, a county lady without real power, could not give him. If he followed her, his status and position would decline.
If it's wealth and glory, she can give it to her. She wants to be the richest person in the future, and she will definitely have more money than she can spend.
"County Lady, I don't need power or wealth, as long as I can have three meals a day!"
Canglang explained immediately.
"Canglang, although you will not follow me, your positions and salaries will remain unchanged."
The prince assured them that their positions and salaries would not change.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will protect the County Lady until my death."
Canglang knelt down to the prince and said gratefully.
"Remember, you must protect the county lady. She won't treat you unfairly."
The prince said.
"I will remember this!"
Canglang said.
"You should leave now."
Gao Zhijun said to Canglang.
"Yes, County Lady!"
Canglang left the study.
The prince talked with Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian for a while, and then he went back to rest. Only Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun were left in the study.
