I originally thought that this was an ordinary human trafficking case, but I never imagined that there was collusion between several government officials, and even between superiors and subordinates.
This collusion doesn't matter.
It's a bit too much for the two of them to collude to kidnap and sell young children and not report it. Besides, it's so hard to find such a beautiful woman nowadays. Qi Peng has more than 30 of them at once and he is not afraid of sudden death.
"Qi Peng, let me meet your man now. It's a good opportunity to let him enter the competition venue for the top 20."
"Now let you meet this mysterious man."
The two men looked at each other and froze. Zhao Xin was also stunned, secretly cursing Qi Peng for being such a loser and not bringing him anything good.
Isn’t the person opposite him Chu Zhan, and he is smiling like a flower. The two of them are laughing happily while chatting and laughing, as if they are unaware of the hatred between Zhao Xin and Chu Zhan.
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is the person I invited, Master Chu."
"Mr. Chu, long time no see. How come you have cured your family member's facial disease?"
Chu Zhan was surprised. He had clearly planted a poisonous insect in him, but why didn't he have any symptoms now? His complexion was rosy and he didn't look weak at all.
"Why, do you have any objection?"
"Oh, long live His Majesty. I am just a commoner. It is only thanks to the blessing of the Crown Prince of Dongwu that I am here to play chess."
Zhao Xin originally thought that he would just make a joke and then let Qi Peng go, but he never expected that this series of twists and turns would eventually lead to the Chu War.
Qi Peng, Qi Peng, don't blame me for messing with you now. It's you who has to come here to upset me. Then don't blame me for being rude.
"Well, since he invited you, I can't refuse, right? So, then get ready to go on stage. Just don't let those people defeat you."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"You should have a good rest. Xiaochenzi, take him to his room to rest. We will go to the competition tomorrow."
"yes."
After these people left, Zhao Xin looked at the man opposite him with a gloomy face, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and thought of a way to deal with him.
"I'm wondering, was I really that ridiculous just now?"
Of course Qi Peng refused immediately, but it seemed that this refusal was useless because Zhao Xin had no intention of forgiving this guy.
"Don't worry, the Crown Prince of Dongwu is as powerful as the sky now. Even I can't compare to you. You can just say whatever you want. I won't refuse anything."
Feeling...good guy.
"Your Majesty, please stop being so sarcastic. Tell me what I have done wrong to make you so concerned."
Zhao Xin didn't say anything, and you can guess what he looked like.
"Thirty stunning beauties? That's impossible, Your Majesty. You didn't ask for it when I asked Your Majesty."
Zhao Xin remained silent.
"Could it be that I, the prince, arrived late and used your token to defraud others?"
Veins popped out under Zhao Xin's hands.
"Could it be—"
"Enough! Someone, come and arrest this shameless guy!"
Then a group of warriors filed into the room. Qi Peng coughed twice, and it seemed that the emperor was really angry. It seemed that he really couldn't joke anymore.
Otherwise, the envoy from Eastern Wu would have to come in person to pick up the person.
"Your Majesty, could it be because of that Master Chu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Peng rejected this idea from the bottom of his heart. What kind of dispute could there be between a commoner and a figure like the emperor? Besides, this person was also hanging around in Dongwu, so it was impossible to provoke him in the end.
"Go back and rest. If you don't play chess well tomorrow, I will cut you into pieces, put you in a box and send you back to your Dongwu as tribute."
…ruthless person.
Then he went back and rested.
Then he made the worst decision.
In the past, when Qi Peng coaxed women, he would always listen to the opposite of what he said. If the woman said no, then it meant she liked him. But what he didn't consider was that the people in his palace were all reserved, but Zhao Xin was not ambiguous!
"Master Chu, I'm telling you this: when playing chess, give up after you've won a few games and don't go any further. Got it?"
He wondered if it wouldn't be better to just abstain.
But... this is not good. After all, if he gives up, the person he hired will be of no use and will directly become a patrolling bodyguard. This kind of thing is really embarrassing.
No matter which side loses, there will be countless embarrassing materials spread by the mouths of these people. Anyway, it sounds extremely unforgettable.
"It's His Royal Highness, I understand."
He secretly rubbed his hands and snorted in his heart. Zhao Xin's skills were so poor that he actually made all the contestants give up. He didn't look like an honest and upright person.
We cannot go against the prince's name. If we directly disobey his words, we will be hunted by the army until dawn and the rooster crows.
"I understand. Go to sleep. Someone will take you to the competition venue tomorrow. Just don't lose the first round and embarrass this prince!"
Chu Zhan bowed twice quickly before asking the man to leave.

"Everyone should have had a lot of rest for the top 20 competition. A young man from an aristocratic family withdrew from the competition, so we will directly replace him. Please do your best to make it to the top ten."
The one who came on the bench was Chu Zhan, and the one who went back for fun was Nan Wuyou.
As for Nan Wuyou, Zhao Xin honestly had no intention of taking care of him, but he didn't expect that Nan Cang would take him away on the pretext that "you can't play chess and you're embarrassing me here."
Thinking of this middle-aged man being dragged out by an old man by his clothes, Zhao Xin wanted to laugh for no reason.
