The waste prince is so fierce

"presumptuous!"

Li Quan was furious.

Zhang Bao said, "Master Li, don't be angry. Sooner or later, I will take his dog head to offer sacrifice to my elder brother's soul!"

"Master Zhang is joking."

Li Quan sighed, "You are now in charge of water conservancy. How can I let you shed blood and sacrifice in vain? Come, tie up all these bandits. I will personally go to see His Majesty to report this matter."

The southern barbarians were furious. "Li Quan, you are going too far! How can we, the southern barbarians, be afraid of you?"

"Hahaha--"

Li Quan laughed loudly, "You southern barbarians call yourselves warriors, but you are vulnerable. Now my Great Kang is so powerful that it is not worth mentioning such a small matter. Today, I will tell you what it means to have a strong army and a powerful horse! Come on, tie them all up and take them back to the capital!"

"Here!"

The guards rushed over immediately.

The southern barbarians fought back vigorously, but they were outnumbered and were soon subdued and dragged before Zhang Bao.

Li Quan patted Zhang Bao on the shoulder and said, "Master Zhang, don't worry. I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor. When the time comes, you can just rest assured and recuperate, and wait for good news."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince!" Zhang Bao was so moved that his eyes sparkled with tears.

Li Quan comforted Zhang Bao for a few more words and then left.

After he left, Zhang Bao's face turned pale.

"Master Zhang."

Several guards stepped forward and looked at Zhang Bao with concern, "Your injuries..."

Zhang Bao shook his head. "It's okay. They are just some superficial injuries. They won't cause any trouble. Send someone to inform General Yang and tell him that I fought with the enemy and was severely injured. Ask him to bring some help."

The guard took the order and left in a hurry.

Zhang Bao took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.

"Master Zhang..."

At this time, three other imperial guards ran in.

One of them was covered in blood and his clothes were torn.

Zhang Bao looked at him, "Commander Chen? What happened to you? Who did this?"

Lieutenant General Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It was Liu Xun's group. They came over under the cover of darkness and tried to assassinate us. Fortunately, we were well prepared, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."

"Liu Xun and his gang of bastards."

Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and said, "When I regain my strength, I will kill him!"

Lieutenant General Chen hesitated for a while and asked, "Master Zhang, the young master Li just now was..."

Zhang Bao sighed, "He is the Ninth Prince Li Quan."

"what?"

Lieutenant General Chen widened his eyes in disbelief.

Ninth Prince Li Quan, the Ninth Prince who repelled the southern barbarians outside Dongning Prefecture?

Such a person would actually come to Jiangning City. This is simply unbelievable!

Li Quan is famous all over the world!

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince actually came to Jiangning..."

Zhang Bao was silent for a long time, then suddenly shouted, "Someone come!"

Soon, two more imperial guards ran in.

"Master Zhang, what do you want?"

Zhang Bao said, "Please take me to see His Highness. Tell him I have something to report."

"Yes."

Zhang Bao lay on a stretcher and slowly moved towards the north gate.

Brigadier General Chen hurriedly followed.

Lying on the stretcher, Zhang Bao's eyes were bright.

Liu Xun!

This time, with His Majesty the Ninth Prince here, let's see how you can still stir up trouble? !

……

On the other side, Liu Xun was standing in the courtyard with several of his men.

He stared at the convoy moving away in the distance with a cold look in his eyes, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it! He actually let Zhang Bao escape!"

"Boss, we have also captured a group of prisoners, which will be enough for a while." A young man reminded.

"Shut up!"

Liu Xun scolded, "This operation failed, and all of us will be punished. If you hadn't been so greedy and reckless, we would have already resolved the battle."

The young man curled his lips and said nothing more.

Liu Xun sneered, "Don't be unconvinced. This operation was specifically ordered by the old man and we must complete the mission. Only by completing the mission can we survive."

"I know I was wrong, Boss."

"Okay, let's continue with the plan."

"Yes!"

Liu Xun waved his hand.

A man in black came out, bowed, and then disappeared silently into the shadows.

"All of you, follow me to hunt down Zhang Bao."

Liu Xun left behind five or six people, and the rest dispersed and chased the enemy.

"Boss, why do we have to leave a few people behind to cover our retreat? With so many of us, we are enough to wipe out Zhang Bao." asked a slightly older man.

"idiot!"

Liu Xun scolded, "What do you know! For everything, you must be fully prepared to succeed."

"Oh……"

……

"Your Highness, look!"

Just as Li Quan was about to enter the door, he heard Zhang Hu's voice.

Turning his head, he saw a carriage parked in front of him and heard Zhang Bao's weak voice coming from inside.

"Your Highness, I have something to report!"

Li Quan stepped forward and opened the carriage, took a look inside, his face was filled with anger: "Nonsense! Lord Zhang is injured, how can he be jolted like this? Quick, carry Lord Zhang to my house and let him have a good rest."

"Zhang Hu, go get the doctor."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu took the order and left.

Li Quan looked at Zhang Bao and sighed, "Master Zhang, you have worked hard! Master Zhang, please lie down first. I will bandage you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Li Quan bandaged Zhang Bao's wound, Zhang Bao felt much better, but still looked haggard, obviously having not gotten enough rest.

Li Quan advised: "Master Zhang came here in such a hurry, I guess the matter is very urgent. But now Master Zhang is seriously injured. If you don't mind, how about staying in my palace for a while?"

Zhang Bao waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not. I am ill and cannot stay in the mansion."

Li Quan frowned, "Are you worried about a sneak attack from Liu Xun's men?"

Zhang Bao smiled bitterly, "I have offended many people, and no one can guarantee that Liu Xun, that bastard, will not stab me in the back. Therefore, I choose to hide in a private house, using the cover of the house to avoid being attacked."

After a pause, Zhang Bao asked, "Your Highness, is there something I want to report when I come here this time?"

Li Quan nodded, "It's about Liu Xun."

"Your Highness is wise."

Zhang Bao said bitterly: "Your Highness is indeed powerful. You can't hide Liu Xun's affairs from him. Liu Xun relied on his position as a county magistrate to kill people at will. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I spoke out to stop him. But I ended up provoking this mad dog..."

"When the king heard about this, he was very angry."

Li Quan pondered for a moment and said, "I have dealt with Liu Xun before. He is a military man. But he has his own way of governing the local area and is quite caring towards the people. He should not have fallen to this point."

Zhang Bao bowed and said, "Your Highness, Liu Xun is a man with evil ambitions. If we let him become powerful, he might rebel."

Li Quan nodded, then looked at Zhang Bao and said, "Master Zhang, since we have met today, I have something to say to you.

Now that Liu Xun is in a high position, even I cannot act without solid evidence.

Of course, the people around Liu Xun also need to be arrested. In this way, Liu Xun's threat is reduced by half. However, Liu Xun has dozens of constables under his control, so it is not easy to capture this thief.

Therefore, I hope that Lord Zhang can try his best to buy time so that we can successfully capture Liu Xun.

Mr. Zhang, what do you think?

"Your humble servant is willing to assist Your Highness!"

Zhang Bao agreed without hesitation.

Li Quan laughed, patted Zhang Bao on the shoulder, and praised him, "Master Zhang, your kindness is great. I will remember it! However, your most important task now is to recover from your injuries. You will have to wait until you recover from your injuries before you have the strength to do anything else."

Zhang Bao nodded in agreement.
