Upon hearing this voice, Sun Jian turned around.
A somewhat handsome man stood behind him.
He kept tapping a folding fan in his hand.
Who is this kid?
Sun Jian was somewhat stunned.
Just because he doesn't know him doesn't mean others don't.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince."
The remaining soldiers all knelt down and kowtowed.
Even Gu Hu, who was standing next to him, was the same.
Holy crap, this is the Second Prince?
Enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile.
Because of the series of events that Sun Jian has recently encountered, it seems that the ultimate target is this second prince.
Although there was no conclusive evidence, Sun Jian's intuition told him that he was involved.
"So it's His Highness the Second Prince. Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't recognize you at all. I thought it was some beautiful lady who had arrived."
Sun Jian clasped his hands slightly in a fist salute.
Given his current status, he wouldn't need to bow to the emperor, let alone a prince.
"It's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The second prince smiled and then walked up to Xu Jiang, who was already dizzy and disoriented.
"How dare you, a mere captain, lay a hand on the deputy captain of the Tiger Guard Battalion?"
"Moreover, even after Sun Jian revealed his identity, you still did not repent and continued to attack."
"Do you know that you have committed a capital offense?"
At this moment, Xu Jiang finally realized what was happening.
With a thud, she knelt down in front of the Second Prince.
"Greetings... to His Highness the Second Prince."
"No need to say more."
The second prince coldly interrupted him.
He then looked at the vast number of soldiers.
"This man is insubordinate and rebellious, and even attempted to kill an official of the imperial court."
"Guards! Take this man back with me and keep him under strict guard. We must interrogate him to find out who is behind this."
The words fell.
Two burly men stepped out from the crowd.
They pulled Xu Jiang and disappeared into the crowd.
Sun Jian witnessed all of this but remained silent.
What does this mean?
Wasn't your mom doing this for my benefit?
Sun Jian was internally ranting and raving.
Since it's a performance, it's really not being done with any real effort.
“Sun Jian, this man has been brought back by me. You have suffered today.”
"Why should I suffer? He's no match for me. He's the one who should be suffering. I'll probably give him a concussion this time," Sun Jian sneered.
Even someone as cunning and scheming as the Second Prince almost couldn't keep up with Sun Jian's words.
"Hehe, although I, the prince, rarely leave my residence, I have still heard of your great name."
"However, since you don't have a good place to live in the capital, why don't you and your three wives move in with me?"
“A few years ago, a large house was vacated, with four courtyards and four exits, enough for you and your three wives to live in together.”
The second prince spoke with a smile.
Holy crap, is this blatant courting?
Sun Jian was somewhat shocked.
How am I supposed to say this in front of so many people?
If I agree, won't the Crown Prince want to kill me?
If I don't agree to your proposal, and publicly reject your suggestion as the Second Prince, wouldn't that give people something to talk about?
Sun Jian knew that the Second Prince was not a simple person.
Unexpectedly, their first conversation turned into a difficult problem.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Jian said, feigning seriousness.
"It's really unfortunate, Second Prince. We've just settled down in the capital. If we move there now, my wife definitely won't be able to handle it. Maybe we should wait for another opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince smiled and nodded, showing no embarrassment at being rejected.
"In that case, it seems that I, the prince, have not considered this carefully."
"However, we'll meet again soon. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to my house for a visit. I'm also very interested in your inventions."
"and……"
The second prince slowly approached.
What others can give you, I can give even more of.
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian quickly retreated.
He nodded with a forced smile.
"In that case, I must thank the Second Prince in advance."
"Now that things here have been resolved, let's prepare to leave the city and bid farewell to Prince Ha for the time being."
With that, Sun Jian pulled the bewildered Gu Hu toward the city gate.
The second prince stood there, smiling as he looked at the two of them.
He didn't say anything more.
After the two left the city gate, the second prince turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Before an incense stick had burned out, Sun Jian's face darkened.
It now seems that the Second Prince has also begun to win him over.
However, Sun Jian still harbored doubts.
All the recent events were his doing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused in public.
It's just a matter of dealing with whatever comes our way.
He's not afraid of playing the wool game, and he's even less afraid of playing the conspiracy game.
Although the imperial court is like a battlefield, he is not one to be bullied.
"My benefactor, that was really dangerous! I thought we were going to be stranded there forever."
After a while, Gu Hu couldn't help but speak up.
"Don't worry, there's no obstacle you can't overcome with me. Let's go and take a look at Huangzhuang ahead."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hu nodded quickly.
The two walked for a while longer and finally arrived at Huangzhuang.
However, upon arriving here, Sun Jian noticed that there seemed to be very few birds.
Moreover, the ground was cracked.
It seems that the drought has lasted for a long time.
Just as they continued forward, they encountered a dark mass in the air beside them.
Sun Jian thrust his sword forward, only to discover that it was a locust.
However, these locusts are somewhat different now.
Locusts usually appear singly, but when they swarm together like this, Sun Jian considered one possibility.
Moreover, normal locusts are entirely green, which makes them easy to hide.
However, the locust he discovered was...
Its back had turned black, while its abdomen was brown.
Holy crap, this time there's going to be a locust plague.
Sun Jian was somewhat stunned.
Without saying a word, he quickly found a haystack by the roadside.
Upon opening the haystack, they indeed found many locust eggs.
"My benefactor, what are you doing?"
Gu Hu was somewhat confused.
"I'm afraid a disaster is about to strike here."
Sun Jian muttered to himself.
Once a locust plague occurs in a region, absolutely nothing will grow there.
If a person runs fast enough, they can avoid level one.
But crops, trees, and livestock are harder to hide from.
