Chapter 176 Li Jiren Establishes His Authority
Prince Qing Li Zhaojie had no reaction to his son calling him "dog" when he opened his mouth and "young master" when he closed his mouth.
Li Jiren lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Chonglin. Li Chonglin quickly covered his mouth and then grabbed Li Jiren's sleeve in a flattering manner.
"Brother Jiren, I will never curse again next time."
Li Jiren shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't bear to scold this hard-earned little cousin.
Nineteen years ago, Prince Qing was robbed and killed by an unknown assassin on his way back to his fiefdom from Luo City. In an attempt to save Prince Qing, Princess Qing was stabbed in the abdomen by the assassin.
If Prince Lin had not suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned back from Lin'an Prefecture, Prince Qing and his wife, as well as Prince Qing's personal guards, would all have been killed.
After being captured, the assassins all bit the poison hidden in their teeth and died of suffocation.
To this day, Prince Qing has not found out who the real culprit behind the incident is.
Princess Qing was five months pregnant at the time. Not only did the sword kill the fetus in her belly, but she also couldn't get pregnant again for several years.
Prince Qing is nearly thirty years old and has only one concubine daughter. Princess Qing wants to take another concubine for Prince Qing, but Prince Qing refuses to agree no matter what.
Twelve years ago, the genius doctor Ye Jianan finally found a prescription from an ancient book to cure Princess Qing. However, the most crucial ingredient in the prescription was the Jade Spirit Flower, one of the ten most exotic flowers.
The Jade Spirit Flower only grows in one place - the top of Xuefeng Mountain in the territory of Yan State.
Not to mention that Yan State was an enemy country, it was difficult for them to enter Yan State. The Snow Peak Mountain was towering into the clouds, more than 5,000 meters high, and was the highest mountain in several surrounding countries. The top of the mountain was covered with snow, the temperature was extremely low and the air was thin.
Countless people have sacrificed their lives for this priceless Jade Spirit Flower, but the only recorded incident is that more than two hundred years ago, a peerless master plucked this flower.
Prince Qing and Emperor Huiren sought help from many martial arts masters, but none of them were able to obtain the Jade Spirit Flower.
Later, King Lin could not bear to see his brother becoming increasingly depressed, so when he drove the Yan army back to Yan State again, he sneaked into Xuefeng Mountain alone and picked the Yuling Flower.
This is how the Prince of Qing came into being.
However, even someone as skilled as King Lin still coughed for more than two months after returning from Xuefeng Mountain.
Prince Qing named his son Li Chonglin so that he would remember that he was able to be born thanks to his uncle the emperor.
Li Chonglin's dependence on his two royal brothers is just like Prince Qing's dependence on Prince Lin in the past, and he listens to his two cousins the most.
At this moment, he was waving his hands at Li Jixin on the ring, shouting, "Brother Jixin, I'm here."
The originally crowded crowd now automatically made way for them.
Shen Meng was even more speechless. Why were these people causing trouble? Didn’t they hear that he was asking them to leave the city just now?
He could only bow once more to Prince Qing and Prince Lin and say, "Please leave the city immediately."
Li Jiren ignored him completely, hugged Li Chonglin and pointed at his toes. Shen Meng only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes. When he turned around, Li Jiren was already standing steadily on the ring with the child in his arms.
Shen Meng broke out in a cold sweat. It was too fast. The ring was more than a hundred meters away from him, and Li Jiren was holding a child who was neither big nor small.
Prince Qing cursed Shen Meng as an idiot, then walked away leisurely.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard again in the distance. Shen Meng looked up and saw Yuan Zheng, who was in charge of guarding the south gate of Luo City. He quickly rushed over and asked, "Commander Yuan, how could you let Prince Qing and Prince Lin enter the city?"
Yuan Zheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He knew that if he failed to defend the city gate, Emperor Zhaowen would never let him off easily.
"Commander Shen, the 100,000-strong army led by Prince Qing and the Crown Prince is now camped at the city gate. They came and asked us to open the city gate. Why would we open the city gate?
But they used siege engines and broke down the city gates without hesitation. Prince Lin handed the army to a general named Han Qi, who led Prince Qing into the city. We couldn't stop them at all.
Han Qi said that if anything happened to the prince and his men in the city, they would immediately mobilize all the troops from Jiyang and Yucheng to fight the emperor to the death. When everyone was safely out of Luocheng, they would withdraw.
These people don't even take us seriously and actually started cooking at the city gate."
The more Yuan Zheng thought about it, the angrier he became, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Hurry up and report to the emperor."
Shen Meng now understands why Lord Li, the Minister of the Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau, has been shouting "crazy" recently.
Isn't that crazy? Is it worth it to make such a big fuss for the Empress Dowager and Ye Jianan?
There were two officials from the Ministry of Rites on the stage, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Prince Qing hooked his finger at them and said, "Do you want me and the Crown Prince to sit on the ground and watch the game?"
The two officials gritted their teeth and asked someone to bring a few more chairs over. They said that the reason they were able to come in was because the city guards were incompetent and it had nothing to do with them. But if the two of them caused a disturbance in the venue today, they would be in trouble.
Ever since Li Jixin saw his brother, he no longer leaned lazily on the chair. He stood in front of Li Jiren and looked at him carefully. He was relieved to see that except for his hair being a little messy due to rushing, he was not injured.
"Second uncle, big brother."
Li Jiren was also looking at Li Jixin. After not seeing him for a few months, his younger brother had grown taller. He nodded slightly.
The people in the audience and upstairs looked at the pair of handsome brothers on the stage and sighed in their hearts. One of them was still a teenager, and the other was between a teenager and an adult. Both were extremely handsome men. They looked 30 to 40% similar, but their temperaments were very different. There was no difference in appearance between them.
Wang Shen and his parents were also in the crowd, watching the two brothers on the stage and secretly shedding tears.
Wang Shen still remembers that year when they were being chased and met Prince Lin, the person he was holding in his arms was Crown Prince Li Jiren. At that time, Li Jiren was only four or five years old. Now he has grown up this big and looks almost exactly like Prince Lin.
Not only Wang Shen's family, but also many people who had received great kindness from Prince Lin's Mansion were praying silently in the crowd.
Li Jiren looked at everyone and said loudly, "Since my brother has made a bet with Emperor Zhaowen, I will not stop him.
As long as it's a fair and honest match, our Lin Palace is willing to accept defeat. If we lose, we'll leave immediately. If we win, let us take the person away.
But if anyone dares to use evil means and hurt my brother——"
Li Jiren picked up an empty porcelain cup on the table, clenched his palm, and the porcelain cup turned into powder and fell down.
"I will make him like this cup!"
Li Jiren's last words were so cold that it made people tremble all over.
There was another exclamation from the crowd.
Some of those who originally planned to go on stage to compete have already backed out.
They didn't know Li Jixin's kung fu, so it would be fine if they couldn't beat him. But if they accidentally hurt him, they would definitely not be able to defeat Li Jiren and the others.
By this time, the time for the competition to begin had long passed, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already sent people to report the arrival of Prince Qing and others to the ministry. Before receiving a reply, they did not dare to act rashly.
Li Jiren and Prince Qing also sat down and drank tea leisurely.
Li Jixin suddenly looked at Mingxianglou and said something to Wei Qing beside him, and Wei Qing flew to Mingxianglou.
Wei Qing's arrival caused the people who had been crowding at the door to watch the excitement to retreat back into the teahouse and stare at him nervously.
Wei Qing ignored them and walked straight to the counter to take away a pot of cocoa tea. The shopkeeper nodded to the waiter, and the waiter hurried to the kitchen to bring out a pot of cocoa tea.
"how much is it?"
"Ah?" The shopkeeper felt that he had misheard.
"What? Do I look like a bandit? Of course I have to pay for things."
"Oh, oh, three taels of silver."
"What?" This time it was Wei Qing's turn to be surprised.
"You are robbing me. Do you know that three taels of silver can feed a whole family for two years in Jiyang?"
Wei Qing shouted loudly, but still took out three taels of silver indignantly, looked up at the crowd staring at him, and saw cocoa tea on most of the tables.
Wei Qing became even angrier, it turned out they were the only ones who were poor.
"I'll return the pot to you after you finish drinking. Black shop!" Wei Qing shouted and flew back to the ring.
Because of this, the crowd, who were originally nervous, had to work extremely hard to hold back their laughter.
