The second prince glared at Li Zhu through gritted teeth, his face contorted with rage, his breathing rapid. But in the end, he still managed to say through gritted teeth...
"Tomorrow, along with the gold, deliver it to my elder brother's residence..."
Hearing the Second Prince agree, Li Zhu was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that the Second Prince would not refuse such an excessive request. Could he make some even more excessive requests?
Thinking about this, Li Zhu decided it was worth a try. He'd already gotten what he wanted, so agreeing to the next request would be a pleasant surprise, and refusing wouldn't cause him any loss—after all, he was just tricking someone else…
"Second brother..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu call his name, the Second Prince Li Ke trembled, and his gaze toward Li Zhu became much fiercer!
"Second brother, the way you're looking at me terrifies me. What if I forget something and say something I shouldn't, which could affect your future attempt to seize the throne..."
The second prince's face darkened. How could someone openly discuss seizing the throne? Even if I had such thoughts, I'd have to hide them…
"Brother, stop talking nonsense..."
The Second Prince's patience had reached its limit, and these words were practically spat out from between his teeth!
"See? I told you so. My memory isn't good; I never know when I'll blurt out things I don't even know myself..."
Li Zhu continued his threat!
"Brother, just say what you want to say. I'll definitely agree to anything within my ability..."
The second prince was on the verge of a breakdown; when would this ever end...?
"Second brother, I've heard you have quite a few concubines? Look..."
"Li Zhu, don't go too far..."
The second prince roared, and everyone who had been watching the two princes whispering to each other, keeping their voices barely audible, was shocked by this roar...
Everyone was watching them, wondering what had caused their conversation to break down...
"Li Zhu, remember this humiliation you've suffered today; you will repay it a hundredfold in the future..."
After saying that, the Second Prince Li Ke walked out, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. His movements were fluid and graceful, and he left without looking back, as if he were fleeing!
However, the Second Prince's voice came again very soon.
"Brother, my beloved Mingfei will be visiting our residence tomorrow..."
Holy crap! They actually agreed to this?
Li Zhu was stunned. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This younger brother of mine is a ruthless man. He can abandon his wife, so what can't he abandon? He can tolerate being cuckolded, so what can't he tolerate?"
However, the Second Prince was not shrewd enough. Compared to the Third Prince, who did not come, he was easier to trick. The Third Prince was more cunning and ruthless, like a venomous tongue hidden in the dark, waiting for the right moment to strike. Once he did strike, it would be a fatal blow!
Pfft!
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh suddenly rang out inside the tent, startling Li Zhu from his reverie. When he turned around, he saw Xie Yuanlong raise his knife and kill all the Jie people!
Seeing Li Zhu turn around, Xie Yuanlong immediately said, seeking credit.
"Your Highness, the Jie rebels have all been executed..."
Li Zhu was shocked again. This teammate's betrayal was too clean and efficient. His head was rolling all over the ground!
The executioners lying on the ground forgot to groan, all staring in shock at their general. Why was there such a stark contrast in their attitudes toward the crown prince?
Xie Yuanlong thought to himself, "I don't want this either. My team leader has already slunk away. If I continue to fight head-on, there will be no other outcome but death..."
"You... you're really a fucking genius..."
After struggling for a long time, Li Zhu finally managed to utter this sentence: she really didn't know how to describe this shameless behavior!
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!"
Hearing Xie Yuanlong shamelessly accept the sarcastic remark, Li Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "What the hell did I say to praise you? Are you out of your mind?"
"These are all witnesses, and you just killed them like that?"
Li Zhu couldn't think of any good excuse to start the conversation, so he used the dead people on the ground as a starting point!
"Your Highness, these people have brought disaster to the New Tang Dynasty and deserve to die. I was too hasty. I beg Your Highness to punish them..."
Xie Yuanlong knew he was doomed today, but he was still making a last-ditch effort!
"Your Highness, this scoundrel is overstepping his bounds. Let me choose him..."
No sooner had Wang Yanzhang finished speaking than a loud slap echoed from inside the tent…
Snap...
"Why waste time talking nonsense? Let's fight first..."
Hou Wang spoke calmly, completely ignoring the gazes of Wang Yanzhang and Li Zhu!
Wang Yanzhang's gun trembled with anger; his chance to show off had been snatched away again, and he felt that Hou Wang had done it on purpose...
At the same time, he was also wondering if he should make a move without warning next time. However, after just this brief contact, he was already somewhat afraid of Li Zhu. He thought it best not to provoke Li Zhu, otherwise what if he was forced to serve him in bed?
Li Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the Marquis would slap him to death again. It was good to see that the person was still alive!
Xie Yuanlong also covered his face, suppressing his anger. He thought viciously to himself, "If I can get through today, I will definitely get my revenge later!"
"You still want revenge?"
Li Zhu looked coldly at Xie Yuanlong, who was full of resentment, and said something that terrified Xie Yuanlong. He couldn't understand how Li Zhu knew what he was thinking. Could Li Zhu read people's minds?
As if he had discovered some great secret, he couldn't help but shout.
"Second Prince, save me! I have a huge secret to tell you..."
But no matter how he called out, the Second Prince did not appear again, which made Xie Yuanlong somewhat desperate!
"Take it with you..."
Li Zhu looked at the Marquis and gave the order!
Such a laborious task was naturally left to Wang Yanzhang; the Marquis would never do something so thankless and exhausting!
Xie Yuanlong was lifted up by Wang Yanzhang like a chick, and no one dared to stop them from leaving…
Although Li Zhu knew that these Jie people couldn't possibly have anything useful on them, he still searched the place with a glimmer of hope, only to return disappointed...
Where exactly is the Book of the Zodiac?
Li Zhu frowned involuntarily, pondering this question the entire way...
He was exhausted after such a long night, and he only said goodbye to Yingying and Qingqing before returning to his palace alone...
Li Zhu didn't even look at the situation on the bed, and just lay down sprawled out on it. After all, he was the only one in the entire palace, so there was no need to pay attention to his image!
But he had barely lain down on the bed when he felt something was wrong. He felt as if he were pressing against a soft object. He was sure it wasn't a blanket, so what was it? He subconsciously reached out and touched it, thinking to himself, "It feels pretty good..."
