"Brother Zhu..."
“Brother Zhuzhu…”
The two people called out "Li Zhu" one after the other, making his bones go numb...
These two women each have their own strengths; one has the air of a chivalrous woman, acts quite boldly, and is not afraid to make eye contact with Li Zhu…
She was shy and timid, keeping her head down and observing his every move out of the corner of her eye. Whenever their eyes met, she would shyly lower her head again...
This made him feel that he would be willing to replace "Zhu" with "Pig". Pigsy was a lecherous old man, and he drooled all over the place over Gao Cuilan. Now he was facing two stunning beauties, each with their own unique charm. It would be normal for him to become a pig under the influence of his lustful thoughts...
"Waaah, my love..."
Before Li Zhu could even begin to explain, Wang Riqing objected, letting out a cold snort.
"Why did Your Highness call Yingying 'Sister Yingying' first? Do you think I'm inferior to her?"
"That's not what I meant at all..."
Li Zhu's head suddenly spun, and all his fantasies about the pig-headed man shattered. He recalled the scene when the other man met with Princess Nazha of Xiliang; even the chivalrous woman had turned into a green tea b*tch. Now, that scene was repeating itself, leaving Li Zhu utterly overwhelmed…
As expected, scumbags never have a good ending; the battleground mode has officially begun...
"Sister Qingqing, Brother Zhuzhu didn't mean that..."
When Yingying opened her mouth, both of them couldn't help but shudder. That voice, that tone, it was irresistible to both men and women...
"So what do you think he meant? Was he looking down on me?"
Li Zhu really wanted to slap her and then tell her to learn from Yingying how nicely she speaks, and how she speaks like a hermaphrodite.
However, this was just a thought. He knew Wang Riqing was upset. As a chivalrous woman, being able to love and hate fiercely was definitely a fine quality, but her pride also made it difficult for her to accept sharing love with others. The reason he made things difficult for Li Zhu was a direct manifestation of his straightforward personality...
"Qingqing, you have a chivalrous heart. I thought you wouldn't fuss over such a trivial matter. I entrusted the affairs of the Eastern Palace to you and Yingying. Don't you understand my burning heart? In this life, I will only ever look down on Red Bean, because it can't beat Green Bean..."
"Ugh...you're disgusting..."
After Li Zhu's heartfelt confession and some lighthearted banter, he managed to smooth things over, and Wang Riqing temporarily let him off the hook. However, he still spoke with a bitter and resentful attitude, throwing a sheepskin at Li Zhu and saying...
"This is a list of the nineteen people who came to deliver money today, totaling 65,000 taels of gold..."
Hearing this number, Li Zhu was shocked. These powerful families were truly wealthy. On average, it was equivalent to each person donating 3,200 taels of gold. And this was only a small group of people. Tomorrow's fundraising was the main event...
This is how fast they rip people off...
No! Even Li Zhu himself was shocked by the speed at which he was making money…
The most urgent task now is to convert some of the money into food to solve the problems of military rations and the plight of displaced people…
The remaining money was used to build a biogas digester and pipelines, as well as the paper mill and movable type printing plant he had been longing for—things he wanted to get done before leaving Luoyang…
However, this amount of money seems insufficient, so he needs to speed up his earning pace. With money, many problems can be easily solved...
"Hmm, not bad. Tell me the names of these nineteen people. Give them another chance tomorrow. Since they paid, we still have to get things done..."
Li Zhu took the list of these people and looked it over, memorizing their names. Then he turned and headed straight for the dungeon, intending to see Shi Hu and Xie Yuanlong. These were two important figures. With Shi Le's whereabouts unknown, perhaps he could obtain some useful information from Shi Hu. Xie Yuanlong was also the catalyst for taking down some arrogant and fierce generals, and he needed to extract some useful clues from him in order to plan the subsequent schemes.
"Why are you following me?"
After walking a few steps, Li Zhu noticed that Yingying and Qingqing were following him. This was the dungeon, a dark and damp place that was also a den of iniquity. How could he let his two beauties go to such a place?
"Brother Zhuzhu, I'm scared..."
Holy crap…
Upon hearing this, Li Zhu felt as if his soul had ascended to heaven; this was absolutely terrifying...
"It's alright, Qingqing is with you. You two should go back and rest. You've had a busy day, so get some rest. You have things to do tomorrow..."
Even so, Li Zhu composed himself and politely declined Yingying's request!
"Brother Zhu..."
“Brother Zhuzhu…”
"stop!"
Li Zhu raised his hands; he was afraid of two people. He couldn't help but say helplessly.
"Why don't you go and play with Little Dragon Girl and Mingfei?"
Hearing that Li Zhu still didn't want to take them, the two girls stood there looking aggrieved. Wang Riqing turned her head away haughtily, as if to say, "I'm angry," while Yingying lowered her head and pouted, looking like she was about to cry. One of them looked like she wanted to laugh, while the other couldn't help but feel sorry for her...
"Okay, okay, it was my fault..."
I accidentally started using a Taiwanese accent!
Upon hearing Li Zhu admit his mistake, the two immediately smiled and followed him to the dungeon, one on each side…
"Your Highness, I'm back..."
On the way, the Marquis suddenly appeared out of nowhere and knelt in front of Li Zhu, saying:
"Okay, then let's go together..."
Li Zhu didn't take it seriously. This guy's skills were just so-so; it felt like he was either there or not.
Li Zhu's attitude hurt the Marquis, but he was also secretly glad that Li Zhu hadn't called him "little monkey," otherwise he would have been incredibly embarrassed...
"Little monkey, how's the situation in the various counties and prefectures coming along?"
The Marquis, who was just feeling relieved, now wished he could just kill Li Zhu. This guy was too foul-mouthed; how could he be the leader in the future? How could he establish authority?
However, thinking of the Dragon King and the expert who suddenly appeared during the day, he refrained from making a move and said, holding his nose.
"It's all ready. You can take it to Your Highness at any time if needed..."
"Hmm, very good..."
Li Zhu gave a perfunctory compliment!
This left the Marquis completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened. He could only follow Li Zhu dejectedly. How could he possibly understand the danger of this chaotic situation? If Li Zhu knew he was still single, he would probably laugh at him: "Single dog, no friends..."
When they arrived at the dungeon, they could hear Xie Yuanlong cursing from afar, while Shi Hu stared at the wall with a look of utter despair…
"Stone Tiger!"
"arrive!"
Li Zhu let out a roar, and Shi Hu stood up as if in response, with his feet together, his hands on his outside thighs, in a standard attention posture, looking straight ahead without looking to the side!
