Seeing Zhao Baokun's stunned expression, Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Of course, the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion is not short of money. You can beat him up a few more times if you want, but do you know when to start?"

Zhao Baokun reacted, his eyes sparkling, and he was eager to try: "After he caused trouble for Shen Jingan!"

Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Not bad, not that stupid. I'll give you a gift when I get back home."

Zhao Baokun held the banknote tightly, treating it like a treasure.

He naturally didn't want the money to be used to treat his injuries.

But if he used Chai Bin's money to beat Chai Bin, he would be more than happy to do so!

For a moment, he didn't care about Shen Shuyi calling him stupid, and couldn't help asking, "What gift?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "I'll tell you when I get it."

Seeing this, Zhao Baokun held back and did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured into the streets of Gyeonggi Province.

All of a sudden, all the people were driven to both sides. Guards wearing silver armor and holding long swords, each two meters apart, stood on both sides of the road and quickly cleared a path.

More and more people and vendors gathered on both sides of the road. For a moment, there was constant discussion, and everyone stretched their necks to look.

"What's going on? Why is there such a sudden commotion? Is there a distinguished person returning to the capital?"

"Have you ever seen a noble person travel with such a grand ceremony? I don't know who has such a grand style!"

"You probably don't know this, I heard that it was the Wolf King who returned to the capital!"

"What? The Gray Wolf King is back?"

"Yes, he is our Daqian's God of War. I heard that he won another battle, so he was recalled by His Majesty to receive a reward!"

"I heard that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is coming up soon, and the Wolf King has come back specially to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday..."

"..."

When this title was mentioned, the people's faces were filled with joy, and their eyes were filled with enthusiasm and longing, and they seemed very excited.

Shen Shuyi stood among the crowd and couldn't help but think about it.

Wolf King?

There are only six princes left in Daqian now, four of whom are brothers of the current emperor, namely Prince Duan, Prince Fu, Prince Shun, and Prince An.

The first two made great efforts in the fight for the throne when Emperor Qianwu was in power, and they strongly supported the current emperor, thus securing his throne.

Prince Shun was an idle prince who never participated in court struggles and only sought pleasure, so he was given a title.

Prince An was the youngest, and when the throne was being fought for, it was not his turn at all, so he got the title without any trouble.

In addition to the four royal relatives, there were two kings of different surnames in the Daqian Dynasty. One of them was King Chuchen. King Chuchen followed Emperor Qianwu in his campaigns. It can be said that Emperor Qianwu’s military achievements were inseparable from this brave general under his command.

The most important thing is, once Emperor Qianwu was surrounded and his life was hanging by a thread, it was this brave general who led his men to rescue him and even blocked a fatal blow for Emperor Qianwu.

Later, this brave general was in a coma for seven days before he was out of danger. However, since then, his health has been much worse than before and he developed a chronic illness.

After Emperor Qianwu ascended the throne, in gratitude for his kindness, he conferred on him the title of King Chuchen, the first king of a different surname in the Daqian Dynasty.

The other king with a different surname is the Canglang King who returned to Beijing today.

When Emperor Qianwu first ascended the throne, the country was unstable and surrounded by powerful enemies. Several neighboring countries also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some advantage from Daqian and get a piece of the pie.

Emperor Qianwu could not lead the army in person, so he sent the eldest prince to fight on his father's behalf.

But although the eldest prince seemed to be full of knowledge, he was actually cowardly and afraid of fighting. Once he arrived at the battlefield, he was frightened and was later captured and fell into the hands of the State of Chen.

Emperor Qianwu was furious, but he could not ignore his son, especially since the eldest prince was his first son and he had a special affection for him.

Coincidentally, the State of Chen sent envoys to take the opportunity to seek peace, and at the same time asked the eldest prince to be held as a hostage in the State of Chen to ensure the stability of the State of Chen.

Hundreds of officials offered their advice and suggestions, and various voices were heard, but everyone believed that keeping the prince as a hostage in the State of Chen would damage the country's prestige. However, when asked to come up with specific rules on how to welcome the prince back to the country, no one could come up with an idea.

Later, the mighty general at that time stepped forward and volunteered to use his son as a hostage in the State of Chen in exchange for the eldest prince's return.

If it were someone else, the State of Chen would naturally not agree, but during those years of war, it was the mighty general of the time who defeated the State of Chen several times, making the State of Chen terrified and dare not fight back.

Therefore, for the State of Chen, the reputation of the mighty general was even more terrifying than that of Emperor Qianwu, and he was a well-known killing god in the State of Chen.

Using his son as a hostage made the royal family and people of Chen feel at ease.

In the end, the State of Chen agreed to use the son of a mighty general, plus one million taels of silver, and agreed to let the prince Gui Qian.

However, the State of Chen probably never imagined that the eight-year-old boy who entered Chen alone would overthrow the royal family of Chen seven years later, creating the myth of one man destroying an entire country.

After the young man returned to Qian, Emperor Qianwu was overjoyed, thinking that he had avenged his previous humiliation and vented his anger. He immediately conferred him the title of the second king of a different surname in Daqian - the Canglang King!

In the following two years, the Wolf King fought wars in the south and the north, becoming an invincible sword in the hands of Emperor Qianwu, and his reputation was even greater than that of the mighty general back then!

Shen Shuyi was lost in her memories, but Zhao Baokun's eyes kept falling on her. After a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you help me today?"

Shen Shuyi turned her head to look at him. The boy had a likable face. His deep brown eyes hid the unruly nature engraved in his bones. His long eyelashes were clearly visible, and his straight nose added a bit of stubbornness.

But because he is only fourteen, the outline of a man has not yet fully emerged. He has some of the shadow of the devil in his childhood, but also has some understanding and maturity that he was forced to have after years of suppression and forbearance.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think of his past life.

At that time, the entire family of Qingyuan Marquis was executed, but she was kept in the dark and could not imagine what Zhao Baokun was like at that time.

Under the huge machete, will there be unspeakable grievance and despair in the boy's eyes? Will he remain unruly and unwilling to bow his head, or will he close his eyes and stop looking at the sky, despairing of this world.

Compared to Zhao Baokun, she was more familiar with his twin brother Zhao Baopeng, because Zhao Baopeng survived that year.

Later, she helped him change his name, and he stayed with her, but by then he had become silent and had grown up overnight.

Unfortunately, she spent so much effort to save him, but in the end, he died at the hands of Xiao Tingshan and became one of the seven heads.

When she thought of this, Shen Shuyi felt a blockage in her heart. The pain was like a bunch of tangled vines, tightly wrapped around her heart and tightening continuously.

Those dark green, extremely hard vines strangled her heart, leaving bloody marks, and bright red blood dripped down.

It's not fatal, but the pain is unbearable.

Shen Shuyi suppressed the piercing pain, looked directly at the young man in front of him, and said softly: "Do you need a reason to help your family?"
