This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

Hearing the whispers and comments about him, the Fourth Prince scratched his head sheepishly, then looked at the black mist.

"Hey, you barbarian, is this the place for you to act so recklessly in Daqian? Do you have any remorse now? If you admit your mistake, I'll let you go. If you don't..."

Seeing Chao Lu Ri's ashen face and murderous aura, the Fourth Prince shrank back and muttered under his breath.

"Fine, if you don't want to admit it, then so be it. We've become friends through this little misunderstanding. Um... I'll be going now, okay?"

With a slight raise of his small hand, pointing at the crowd, the Fourth Prince surprisingly chose to shrink back, leaving the crowd at the city gate feeling helpless once again.

"This fourth prince truly lives up to his name," someone remarked, immediately drawing many others to echo their sentiments.

"I'm going to kill you,"

Chao Lu Ri's expression was terrifyingly gloomy. He felt he had been played for a fool; this prince was a wolf in sheep's clothing, harassing him. This was intolerable.

"Chao Lu Ri, stop! Aren't you ashamed?"

The rugged man on horseback finally arrived. He gave the Fourth Prince a deep look, then clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

"I've long heard that His Majesty the Martial Emperor's five sons are all extraordinary, and seeing them today, I can confirm that their reputation is well-deserved. Your Highness, which prince are you?"

"Me?" The fourth prince hurriedly waved his hand, denying it.

"You've got it wrong. I'm just passing by. I'm not some prince. You know, helping those in need is a fine tradition of our Great Qian Dynasty."

"You don't believe me? Ask them. Do you think I'm a prince? Are there any princes who would personally take action like this?"

"I really don't believe it. You, Zheng Youqian, get over here and tell them whether I'm a prince or not?"

The fourth prince got anxious and immediately pointed outside the crowd and started cursing again, which drew attention once more to Zheng Youqian. Who was this?

Xiao Xingchen was already numb. He had been scrutinizing the Fourth Prince for a long time. Why did this guy sound so modern? Could this pig also be a time traveler? Otherwise, how could he concoct gunpowder?

Finally, Zheng Youqian pushed his way through the crowd and truly showed everyone what it meant to be rich.

Zheng Youqian lived up to his name; he was indeed rich. He was a fat man with a thick neck and a big belly. He wore three large gold chains around his neck and a bunch of jade bracelets on his wrists. His clothes were made of brocade and silk, giving him the air of a nouveau riche.

"Cough cough cough, I can vouch for you. Our Fatty Brother is not some prince. He's just an ordinary person, just like me. We're all just ordinary people."

"Pfft!" This time, everyone really couldn't hold back anymore.

"I knew it! When did Yong'an get such a wealthy fat man? Turns out he really is rich. No wonder the name Zheng Youqian sounded familiar; now it makes sense."

"Is this fat guy really rich?" a stranger asked doubtfully.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? He's really rich, his family is incredibly wealthy. Even our Emperor Wu borrowed money from them. So this fat guy is born rich, you know?"

"It's obvious that this luxurious attire can't be faked; I could feel the dazzling gleam of gold just by looking at him from afar."

The sudden appearance of the fat man caught Manghuang and his companion off guard. They had seen fat people before, but seeing two fat people together was quite rare.

"Your Highness, why must you do this?"

"Don't call me prince. My name is Xunhuan. My father's surname is Li. You can call me Li Xunhuan."

This time, Xiao Xingchen couldn't hold back and spat it out, which attracted a lot of attention.

"Hey kid, do you have a problem with me?"

The fourth prince glared at Xiao Xingchen.

"No, no, I just saw you standing up for justice and admired your wisdom and bravery. If all of us in the Great Qian had such a kind heart, how could we not pacify the Northern Wilderness, or let the barbarians run rampant here?"

"One more question for you, sir: do you know the Little Li Flying Dagger?"

Xiao Xingchen's eyes lit up. Could this guy really be a transmigrator? But the Fourth Prince's answer instantly brought him to his senses. He realized with a sigh, "Of course, how could there be so many transmigrators?"

"Little Li Flying Dagger? What's that? I may not know how to use it, but Zheng Youqian has a lot of flying daggers. What, young brother, are you interested? Want to come and play with us?"

"No, no, please make yourself at home, sir."

Xiao Xingchen hurriedly refused, even slapping herself in the face. Why did she have to engage with this guy? Judging from the Fourth Prince's expression, it seemed he was determined to keep bothering her.

"No, sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. We're all brothers, and we should share hardships together. Like now, this barbarian wants to attack me. Don't you think I should fight back?"

"Absolutely. I won't offend others unless they offend me."

"See that? See that? This is my brother! Everyone here is a witness! This is my own brother! You barbarians, you see too, this is my brother!"

An ominous premonition lingered in Xiao Xingchen's heart.

"That's all right now, my brother's here. If you need anything, just ask him. I'm off now, bye-bye!"

The fourth prince, with a smile on his face, began to retreat, then came to Xiao Xingchen's side, not forgetting to gesture to the barbarians.

"Brother, you've settled all your scores, my brothers have taken care of everything. My brothers are incredibly loyal and righteous. I'm so proud to have such a brother in my life. Don't worry, brother, I'll take good care of your family. Hey, is this your wife? She's damn beautiful!"

Xiao Xingchen felt a toothache at the sight, and Lan Beitang was also shocked by these shameless remarks. Only Daji stared at the Fourth Prince with amusement, even giving him a charming smile.

"You're really rich, come quick! This woman is so beautiful, holy crap, holy crap, holy shit!"

The fourth prince was a little unsteady on his feet, drool almost dripping from his mouth. He was furious at the prince's lack of ambition and grumbled as he walked over.

"We must not covet our brother's wife; that's our red line. Since she's our brother, then his wife... Oh, what a beautiful lady! What's your name, young lady? I'm truly wealthy; I'd be happy to serve you."

Daji smiled without saying a word, then pointed at Xiao Xingchen, the meaning clear: "I'm his woman." The two fat men then bumped into her with their butts, sending Xiao Xingchen, who was originally standing in front of Daji, flying backwards and landing right in front of the two barbarians.

"Damn it, I really love how shameless you two are!"

Xiao Xingchen sighed inwardly, realizing he had truly encountered an extreme case. He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.

This action completely ignited the emotions of the many people outside the city. Laughter echoed throughout Yong'an, and some people even laughed until tears streamed down their faces.

Some people kept pointing at Xiao Xingchen and calling him a jinx.

"What are you laughing at? Shut up, all of you! Can't you see I'm flirting with a girl?"

The fourth prince got agitated, put his hands on his hips, pointed at the crowd, and roared in anger.

"Hmph, they must be jealous that we found such a beautiful girl. At first glance, she's nothing special, but upon closer inspection, oh my god! Old Huan, I feel like my spring has arrived!"

He was truly wealthy, his face full of fawning obsequiousness, staring at Daji in a way that was almost unbearable to look at.

"Get lost! What do you mean by 'springtime'? I feel like I've found my queen! My mother has been pressuring me lately, and I never expected to find her here. I knew my mother wouldn't harm me. She said I had to come to the city gate today to see the excitement and find my destined one, and I've found her!"

"No way, even brothers should keep their accounts clear. Whoever gets it first keeps it!"

"Okay, I agree. We'll each use our own methods, and whoever wins the girl's heart will get to marry her. The other one isn't allowed to cry or make a scene, okay?"

"Alright, let's do it this way. Shall we make our escape?" Zhen Youqian glanced back guiltily, and shuddered upon seeing Xiao Xingchen's sinister smile.

"Nonsense! Our brothers shielded us from the barbarians. How can we abandon his woman, no, how can we abandon the girl? If we're going to leave, we should take the girl with us!"

"I agree, young lady. The people here are so uncouth. Shall we find a place to have some snacks and tea? I have some top-notch..."

"Get lost! Don't you know about first come, first served? I saw the girl first, so if anyone should invite her, it should be me first."

"Bullshit, I've already said it, let each use their own abilities."

"Alright, don't get in the way of my brother dealing with the barbarians. Make way for me. I am the fourth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty. I need to take my princess first. Make way for me."

The two barbarians' faces twitched in disbelief. How could the Great Qian have such a shameless prince?

Among the officials, the two prime ministers seemed to be in a trance, not even glancing at them, as if they were complete strangers to these two fat men.

Everyone in the court covered their faces in embarrassment; the eldest princess had vanished, and Huangfu Lingfei had disappeared without a trace as well.

What was originally a scene of wild and arrogant demonstration suddenly became somewhat comical.

At this point, no one paid any attention to the barbarians anymore; all eyes were drawn to the Fourth Prince, and Xiao Xingchen, who was facing the barbarians in the center of the arena, became the next focus.
