If the palace guards were called up, there would be too much noise. Fortunately, Chen Yan had plenty of manpower, so he picked ten veterans.
Although he was doing things according to the prince's instructions, Chen Yan still felt that it was an overreaction.
Wei Sushen knew what he was thinking. Instead of explaining, he warned him, "If things get too difficult to handle, try to create even greater chaos. I'll take advantage of that opportunity to take the person away."
Chen Yan endured it again and again, but due to his status, he couldn't say more. Finally, under Wei Sushen's constant orders, he couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you worrying too much?"
Wei Sushen stopped and the old soldiers following behind them looked at each other, worried that the prince would be angered.
"Where is the restaurant?"
The topic shifted too quickly. Chen Yan looked around and remembered that it was nearby.
He was not interested in foreign cultures, so he had never been here. However, the restaurant was built very tall, and there were always ostentatious lanterns hanging on it, which could be seen from a long distance.
But now, at a glance, there is nothing to see.
"Did we take the wrong road?" Chen Yan suspected.
As an outsider, Wei Sushen didn't know much about the capital, and frowned slightly when he heard this.
An old soldier said at this time: "Just go a little further. I've been there once."
Wei Sushen took a few steps forward doubtfully, and saw a group of people gathered in front of him. People from the government office were also there, trying to evacuate the people.
While others were retreating, they were going in. The people in the yamen had never seen the prince, but they had seen Chen Yan, so they hurried forward to pay their respects.
Wei Sushen had changed into plain clothes. In this situation, revealing the Crown Prince's identity would be unwise. Chen Yan didn't reveal Wei Sushen's identity, but asked gravely, "What happened?"
In fact, the officers and soldiers didn’t need to tell them, as one could tell with their own eyes that the once magnificent restaurant had now become a ruin.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was razed to the ground.
"It seems to be an earthquake, but the specific cause is still uncertain." The officers and soldiers who spoke felt it was ridiculous. There were always tens of thousands of victims affected by an earthquake. How could only one restaurant be affected?
Chen Yan then realized that the prince's words were not only not alarmist, but probably even an understatement. He frowned and asked, "Are there any casualties?"
"No." The soldier's expression was a little subtle. "Before the restaurant collapsed, someone shouted that the building was going to collapse. The restaurant was swaying and only collapsed with a loud bang after everyone evacuated."
Surprisingly humane.
Chen Yan glanced around but didn't see any trace of Fang Shan.
"Have you seen..." He paused, not mentioning Fang Shan: "The princess of Yuexiu Kingdom?"
The officers' eyes widened immediately: "The princess is in there too?"
The furrow between Chen Yan's brows deepened: "Take someone to look for him."
No matter what, the Emperor must not let anything happen to the Princess of Yuexiu.
The people were forcibly sent away, but the sound of discussion still reached here. Chen Yan looked at the only person who might know the truth and asked, "Where do you think he will kidnap the princess to?"
He had already identified the victim as the Princess of Yuexiu. After a moment's thought, he whispered, "Princess... is it possible that she's still alive?"
Wei Sushen glanced at him and said indifferently: "Maybe."
Chen Yan's pupils dilated slightly: "What can we do now?"
System 333's face appeared in Wei Sushen's mind for no apparent reason. Finally, he said two words coldly: "Pray."
“…”
After saying that, Wei Sushen turned around and left, but he didn't go back to the palace. Chen Yan asked the old soldier to stay and help clean up the mess, and followed Wei Sushen.
The news of the restaurant collapsing spread quickly. Walking on the street, one could see groups of three or four people gathered together to discuss the matter. Wei Sushen's footsteps finally stopped at the door of a tavern.
"I heard that this pub is the most famous."
Chen Yan nodded. "There was a time when I was even in charge of the palace's wine supply."
Wei Sushen walked in. There were not many people coming to the tavern during the day, so the owner thought he was a guest and greeted him with a smile.
After giving him money but not asking for wine, Wei Sushen asked, "Has a girl ever come to buy wine?"
The boss hesitated for a moment, and Wei Sushen glanced at Chen Yan behind him: "What are you standing there for? Give me the money."
Chen Yan's eyebrows twitched. He felt that compared to Doctor Zhang, the prince was no pushover. He stuffed money into the shopkeeper's pocket with a blank expression and said, "Speak."
A veteran of many battles would reveal a hint of murderous intent, intentionally or unintentionally. Even this hint was enough to intimidate the boss: "Yes, it happened not long ago, and..."
"And what?"
"She didn't come alone. She was holding this girl in her arms."
There was too much information in the words, and Chen Yan didn't react for a moment.
When I looked back at Wei Sushen, the latter had already walked out. Perhaps because he was passing by green trees, the sunlight shone on his head, and the reflected light was also green.
"Where to go now?" Chen Yan ignored the light.
Wei Sushen: "Brothel."
"..." Chen Yan paused: "Your Highness, do you keep a turtle?"
Wei Sushen: "What do you mean?"
Chen Yan: "Just asking, Yuexiu Kingdom sent a lot of rare things as tribute this time. I heard that one of them was a turtle with two tails."
He didn't think it was precious, but Yuexiu Kingdom had always had the habit of treating deformed animals as sacred objects, so Emperor Chengyuan could only interpret this as the other party's good intentions.
Chen Yan now felt that the green-haired turtle was quite suitable for the prince.
Brothels are truly deserted during the day, and many larger brothels simply do not open during the day.
When he is out, Wei Sushen always follows a principle: when reason cannot settle a matter, use money.
The people inside took the money and let them in quickly even though it was not business hours.
Wei Sushen: "Where is your boss?"
Being chosen by Fang Shan to be in charge of the operation of the brothel, he must have unique abilities. The man smiled and said, "The boss happens to be away today."
Wei Sushen: "You can't beat me."
Before the person in front of him could speak, he pointed at Chen Yan and said in advance: "These people in your building can't beat him."
At the same time, he took out a gold ingot and said, "Answer again."
“…”
After a dozen breaths, Wei Sushen arrived at the inner courtyard under the guidance of a special person.
The environment inside was quite quiet, and the beautiful girl was very conspicuous. She was taking a nap under a big tree, and the aroma of wine wafting from her body could be smelled from a long distance away.
Fang Shan was sound asleep, his position carefully chosen so he could feel the faint sunlight and the cool breeze. Suddenly, in the midst of a beautiful moment, only shade remained, the warmth of the sunlight vanishing.
Fang Shan waved his arms wildly, as if trying to shoo away an annoying fly. When that didn't work, he opened his eyes a crack... and suddenly, a handsome face, magnified, appeared before him. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart and put his hands to his head. But after a second, he changed his hands to hold his stomach. "I'm already pregnant with your child, don't hit me!"
“…”
Chen Yan carefully observed Wei Sushen's expression and felt that the latter did not want to hit anyone, but just wanted to beat the person to death.
Fang Shan stood up in a daze: "The goddess scatters flowers."
After saying this, he dubbed himself: "Dudududu..."
A bottle cap of water came out of his mouth.
Wei Sushen was caught off guard and about to be hit in the face. Chen Yan reacted very quickly, pushing him aside and saying, "Prince, be careful!" He was shocked that someone could hide hidden weapons in his mouth, and so many of them.
But what is even more shocking is that the prince actually endured it and did not kill the man with a sword on the spot.
"Look at me." Wei Sushen held Fang Shan's shoulders, his face terribly gloomy.
Fang Shan used his fingers to support his eyes, which were narrowed due to drunkenness, and nodded continuously: "You are so beautiful."
His eyes were shining, as if his heart and eyes could only see one person.
Chen Yan, who was standing next to him, subconsciously turned his head and sighed that it was a sin for a man to look so seductive.
As expected, Doctor Zhang has his own way of living to this day.
Wei Sushen's mood calmed down a bit, and he stared at Fang Shan: "Where is the Princess of Yuexiu?"
Fang Shan raised a finger and scorned him: "You actually asked about other women in front of me."
Don't reason with a drunk person.
Wei Sushen repeated it three times in his mind, and his emotions calmed down again: "Don't play dumb, where's the princess?"
Fang Shan fell into thought and repeated his words: "Where is the princess?"
Wei Sushen: "Alive or dead?"
Fang Shan: "Alive."
Wei Sushen and Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Where are the people now?"
Fang Shan smiled and said, "Sold it."
“…”
This time, Chen Yan reacted before Wei Sushen: "Sold it?"
Fang Shan pushed him and said, "Don't imitate my speech."
Chen Yan stood still, his face expressionless, but his voice trembled slightly: "Really sold it?"
Fang Shan took out a thick stack of banknotes and said, "I got a lot of money."
As he spoke, he looked as if he was asking for praise.
"She wanted to get me drunk and destroy me, so I sold her out. Isn't that smart?"
Chen Yan looked at Wei Sushen and felt like the sky was falling. After all, she was a princess of a country, and yet she was sold just like that.
Wei Sushen said with a forced smile: "Then you really know how to do business."
Fang Shan staggered: "I know you are angry, but I am not afraid."
Feeling that the prince was on the verge of danger, Chen Yan silently took a step back.
Fang Shan, whose sixth sense had completely dropped to zero, still didn't realize it and asked, "Do you know why?"
Wei Sushen forced a cold smile: "Why?"
"Because I didn't know you were angry." Fang Shan raised his hand and chopped towards himself without any warning, then fell down in a daze.
This move was such a show that the two opponents were so stunned that they had no time to react.
Wei Sushen finally caught Fang Shan. Chen Yan sneered in his heart. No wonder he was not afraid. He wouldn't lose his temper at a fainted person.
"Finding the princess is important." Chen Yan, expressing his heartfelt sympathy for the prince, said seriously, "Try to find her before anything happens."
Wei Sushen nodded.
Chen Yan sighed deeply, "In your opinion, Your Highness, will the princess be sold to... a brothel?"
Maybe it's in the brothel where they are.
Wei Sushen waved his hand. Based on his understanding of Fang Shan, the most likely thing was to send him to do hard labor in the mines.
