The emperor would rather have a

Chapter 58 Wang Sanlang

When Li Yi and the other arrived at Prince Wei's mansion, they were shocked by the scene at the gate.

The road in front of the gate was completely blocked, with a large number of carriages and horses crowded together, all trying to rush to the Prince of Wei's mansion, and no one would give way to anyone else.

Some people in the carriage could not wait any longer and got off on foot. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes, and there were both calm and steady old men and young and middle-aged men who were full of vigor and vitality.

"Are all these people here to choose a son-in-law?" Ma Renyu asked in surprise, "Brother Yi, look at those guys, they're so old, yet they're here to join in the fun. Do they have any dignity?"

"Keep your voice down! Are you worried others won't hear you?"

Li Yi frowned slightly and scolded him in a low voice, "Why don't you use your brain more? According to what the shop assistant said, even if the King of Wei really wants to choose a son-in-law, he has to wait until the day after tomorrow. Why are you here now? Are you going to get turned away?"

"Besides, the King of Wei's daughters won't have trouble finding a husband. Those guys over there are at least forty or fifty years old. Are they coming here to choose a husband because they're afraid the King of Wei won't kill them?"

Ma Renyu was thick-skinned enough that he didn't care even after being scolded. He chuckled and asked in confusion, "Then why are they here?"

Li Yi said softly, "Whether the King of Wei chooses a son-in-law or not, they will come to visit."

"After all, after returning from this expedition, the King of Wei was not only promoted from King of Wei to a noble, but his eldest daughter was also officially crowned as the Queen. Now, in my Great Zhou, apart from the royal family, only the Fu family is the most noble."

"These people are naturally here to curry favor with the King of Wei..."

While Li Yi was chatting with Ma Renyu, he looked at the lively scene in front of him curiously, secretly wondering about the identities of these people.

And how many of them came here with the intention of participating in the selection of a son-in-law.

However, regarding the matter of King Wei choosing a son-in-law, all I have heard so far are some rumors from the shop assistants, and the exact situation is still unknown.

Maybe the King of Wei was just hosting a normal banquet... At least we'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to find out.

Just then, a commotion came from behind Li Yi and the others.

"Get out of the way, don't block the road, you're bumping into my husband..."

Looking back, I saw a big man holding a knife and a bow, arrogantly dispersing the crowd in front of him, cursing under his breath.

Behind the big man, a young man with fair hair and white complexion was riding on a tall horse, protected by a dozen guards holding sticks.

What a great majesty... Li Yi snorted in his heart.

However, in this day and age, it is not a big deal for warriors to kill people in the street, and Li Yi himself is one of them.

Although it was an unintentional mistake, it also shows how chaotic the world is.

It's nothing unusual for a rich young man to show off his power.

Not to mention that these people being driven out were servants who followed their masters, so naturally they could only obediently give way.

Li Yi didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately called out to Ma Renyu, and the two of them prepared to lead their horses to the side of the road.

But many times, even when you don’t want to cause trouble, trouble will find you.

The knife-wielding man who was leading the way saw that Li Yi and the other two were slow to give way and immediately started cursing, "Where did these two idiots come from? Don't you have any sense at all? Get out of here!"

Damn! I gave you face, didn’t I?
Li Yi immediately stopped trying to give way. He stopped and said coldly, "Say that again?"

Ma Renyu on the side widened his eyes and reached out to touch the sword hanging on the horse's belly. If the man holding the sword said another word, he would definitely chop him with the sword and let him know why the flowers are so red.

Although Ma Renyu usually obeys Li Yi's orders, he is more of a pure warrior than Li Yi. When he gets angry, he will not listen to reason. "I..." The man with the knife was about to curse back, but when he met Li Yi's gaze, his heart subconsciously trembled and he swallowed his words back.

It seems that this guy is just a tough guy on the outside but weak on the inside. When he meets a real strong man, he immediately becomes scared.

At this point, the fair-faced young man on horseback finally spoke. He bowed and said, "Please forgive me, my guardsmen, for being a bit rude."

Li Yi glanced at the young man, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a cloud-patterned brocade robe with gold embroidery, a palm-sized jade disk hanging around his waist, and a pair of horse-head boots embroidered with Shu brocade and with thousand-layer soles.

This set of clothes alone is worth all the assets of an average family, and maybe even some.

Li Yi did not return the greeting. He stood straight and said calmly, "Sir, please take good care of your dog. Don't let it out barking next time. It's just annoying."

The young man's words sounded nice, but when his guard was driving the crowd away, he didn't say a word to stop them. Seeing that he was thwarted, he jumped out and pretended to be a good person.

At such a young age, he is so hypocritical...

After hearing this, the fair-faced young man's face turned pale and blue. He tried hard not to lose his temper and said unnaturally, "Brother, what you are teaching me is..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and whipped the knife-wielding man with a horsewhip, cursing, "You disgraceful thing, get out of the way!"

It turns out that you can't pretend. He was pretending to be gentle and polite a moment ago, but now his true nature is exposed.

The big man with the knife took a beating from the whip and retreated to the side in disgrace. The fair-faced young man, escorted by a dozen people, headed straight for the gate of the Prince of Wei's mansion, and the big man with the knife hurriedly followed him.

"What a piece of shit!"

Ma Renyu spat at the backs of the group, "Brother Yi, you are kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have just chopped that guy down with my sword. How could a general of the Imperial Guard like me endure such humiliation?"

Li Yi chuckled and said, "You, Yu'er, are the only ones who think I'm kindhearted. In the eyes of ordinary people, they probably think I must be a strong man who can eat a child every day. Otherwise, how could I have achieved such great military achievements?"

"In this era, the common people don't have a good impression of us warriors..."

At this point, he shook his head slightly. "Just now, I was just concerned about being on King Wei's territory. I didn't want to cause trouble and leave a bad impression on the King of Wei."

"Otherwise, considering that guy's foul mouth just now, do you really think I won't punch him in the face and make him feel like he's getting bruised all over?"

Hearing this, Ma Renyu grinned: "Hehe, that's true... Didn't Zhao Da's cousin get beaten to death by you, Brother Yi?"

Then he wondered, "What about that kid on the horse? Who is he? How dare he act so arrogantly in front of the King of Wei's residence? Could he be a son of the King of Wei?"

Li Yi whispered, "It should be the Wang Sanlang that Li Hanchao mentioned."

"Ah? Brother Yi, have you seen him?"

"I haven't seen it, but did you notice that the man holding the knife has the words 'Xiangzhou Yabing' tattooed on his wrist?"

Ma Renyu shook his head: "I was just waiting for you to make a move, and then I would chop that guy to death with a single blow, but then I noticed this... Anyway, with Brother Yi here, I don't have to worry about these things. I'll do whatever you say."

"You know how to enjoy life. You let me do all the brainwork, right?"

"hey-hey……"

"Let's go, first find a place to tie the horses, and then we'll go around the Prince of Wei's mansion."
