Seeing this, the women gathered around him and tried to persuade Li Quan to continue drinking, but Li Quan was already drunk and unconscious, and he didn't listen to them at all.

One of the women rolled her eyes and came up with a plan. She said in a tender voice, "Sisters, it seems that this young man is very drunk tonight. Why don't we help him to rest first?"

"Okay, it won't be too late to have fun with him tomorrow when he sobers up," another woman agreed.

So, several women helped Li Quan up and walked to the guest room upstairs. Their movements were very gentle, for fear of waking Li Quan, but their faces were full of excitement.

You have to know that the guests who can enter the Yihongyuan are either rich or noble. If they can take the opportunity to curry favor with a powerful person, their future will be secured.

Although Li Quan looked young, he had an extraordinary bearing and was generous. It was obvious that he was not from an ordinary family. Therefore, they all wanted to take the opportunity to please him.

After helping Li Quan lie down on the bed, the woman who offered to help him upstairs gently took off his shoes, socks and outer clothes, and carefully covered him with a quilt.

Then she signaled to the other sisters to go out first, and she stayed in the room to take care of Li Quan.

She sat by the bed, quietly looking at Li Quan's sleeping face, and her heart could not help but ripple. She thought of her helplessness and unwillingness when she first entered this place of fireworks, and thought of the wealth and glory that Li Quan might bring her, and she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Just as she was lost in thought, Li Quan suddenly turned over and hugged her in his arms.

She fell into Li Quan's arms unexpectedly and panicked. However, when she looked up and saw Li Quan's eyes were still closed, she breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out that he was just acting unconsciously.

She carefully broke free from Li Quan's embrace, stood up and straightened her dress. However, just as she was about to leave the room, she heard Li Quan muttering to himself: "Xiao Wan... don't leave me..."

She was stunned.

Xiaowan?

Whose name is this?

She looked back at Li Quan lying on the bed, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

I didn't expect that this young man is such a romantic.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs. She frowned and walked out of the room to check what was going on, only to find that it was a few drunks making trouble, shouting that they wanted to find the most beautiful girls to accompany them for drinking. The boss and the waiters were trying to persuade them, but the drunks were unmoved and became more and more violent.

The drunk's noise became louder and louder, waking up Li Quan who had just fallen asleep.

Li Quan was woken up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "What's wrong?"

"There are a few drunks making trouble downstairs, please go and check it out!" she said anxiously.

Li Quan sobered up immediately after hearing this, and he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room. When he saw the situation downstairs, he couldn't help but frowned - those drunks were obviously here with bad intentions!

He walked downstairs quickly and shouted, "Stop! Don't move!"

His voice was loud and majestic, and immediately silenced everyone present.

The drunks were also stunned and looked at Li Quan.

One of them seemed to recognize Li Quan's identity, his face changed, and he quickly grabbed his companion, "Hurry up! This guy is the son of a powerful official! We can't afford to offend him!"

After saying this, they hurriedly left Yihongyuan.

The boss and his staff all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. "Thank you very much, sir, for helping us out!"

The boss said gratefully, "Your bill tonight is free! Please come back more often!"

Li Quan waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome, then turned and left Yihongyuan.

He did not notice the complicated look of the woman behind him.

After all this, Li Quan no longer had the mood to continue enjoying himself. He called Zhang Hu over and returned to the palace.

the next day.

The next morning, the sun shone through the curtains onto Li Quan's face. He opened his eyes slightly, and yesterday's hangover gave him a slight headache. Recalling what happened in Yihongyuan last night, he couldn't help but laugh.

Those women, those drunkards, were like a small episode in his life, interesting but not worth mentioning.

After getting up and washing, Li Quan went to the study and began to deal with the affairs of the palace.

As the owner of the palace, he had many responsibilities to fulfill and could not always indulge in sensual pleasures. He opened the account book and carefully checked the income and expenditure of the palace, and also read recent documents to understand the governance of the territory.

Just then, Zhang Hu hurried in with a hint of anxiety on his face: "Prince, there is an emergency!"

Li Quan put down the document in his hand and motioned Zhang Hu to continue.

"News has come from the border that there are signs of enemy invasion, and our spies have already discovered their vanguard troops." Zhang Hu whispered.

Li Quan frowned upon hearing this. This situation was much more serious than he had expected. He quickly stood up, walked to the map, and carefully studied the geographical situation of the border.

"Where's Father? Where's the Crown Prince? What do they say?"

"Your Majesty has summoned the Minister of War, the Left Prime Minister, and General Qin Wu. They are expected to have arrived by now."

Li Quan nodded, looking solemn.

"Prepare the horses, I want to go into the palace." Li Quan said in a deep voice.

Zhang Hu immediately responded and soon a fine horse was brought to the gate of the palace. Li Quan jumped on the horse and headed straight for the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Li Quan met the crown prince Li Ke who also hurried over. The two looked at each other and tacitly said nothing more.

They walked into the palace side by side and went straight to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Emperor Kang was discussing countermeasures with the Minister of War, the Left Prime Minister, and General Qin Wu with a serious face. Seeing Li Quan and the Crown Prince, Li Hao, coming, the emperor motioned for them to take a seat.

"Ke'er, you are here too."

Emperor Kang said in a deep voice, "I just received an urgent report from the border that the enemy has invaded. We are discussing countermeasures."

Li Ke nodded, indicating that he already knew about this situation. He looked at the border line on the map, took a deep breath, and said, "Father, I am willing to lead the troops to the border to resist the enemy."

Kangdi glanced at him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

But he did not answer immediately, but turned to Qin Wu: "General Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness is determined to do this, which is a blessing for our dynasty. But the enemy is coming with such force this time that we must act with caution. I suggest that Your Highness take command, and the Crown Prince stabilize the rear. I will assist him and lead the troops to the border to meet the enemy."

Emperor Kang was no longer in good health. He nodded weakly, "Okay, let's do as General Qin says. Quan'er, you have to remember this. What do you think?"

Li Quan bowed and said, "I obey your command."

……

The news that Li Quan was leading the army to the battle soon spread throughout the capital, and the people were all amazed. After all, since ancient times, leading the army was something that only those who had no foundation and needed to risk their lives for a future could do.

Li Quan is a prince and a royal lord. If he really leads the army to war, there is no guarantee that the enemy countries will not take the opportunity to sow discord and destroy the relationship between the Jin Dynasty and its neighboring countries.
