The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 725: Sun Avoids Jade Toad
Prince? Which prince? Zhao Chen used his "Dongxu Eyes" to look at these men in brocade clothes and found that they had long lives and stable luck, so they should not be here to cause trouble.

So he asked calmly, "Prince? Which prince is it?"

"Sir, we are subordinates of the Prince of Liang from the outer vassal state." The leader of the men in brocade clothes responded very politely.

Prince Liang... Fang Ritu's husband? How did he know I was in the capital and invited me to his house? We don't have much of a relationship...

Well, it’s not right to say that it has nothing to do with me at all. After all, his wife’s real body slept with me and left me with those troublesome “Blue Dragon Energy”.

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen asked again, "I wonder what Prince Liang wants to talk to me about?"

"His Royal Highness Prince of Liang heard that the young master came from Xiliang City, so he wanted to ask about the recent changes in the Sima family..." At this point, the man in brocade clothes glanced at Ming Xueling, Yan Hongxia and others who got off the carriage one after another, and continued, "The prince will prepare a banquet for the young master later, and specifically instructed that the young master can bring his female relatives with him."

Inviting me to a banquet and asking me to bring my female relatives... What is the plan of King Liang? Zhao Chen frowned, not knowing whether he should attend the banquet or not.

As for the words "inquiring about the changes that happened in the Sima family", it was pure excuse and Zhao Chen didn't believe a word of it.

Few people knew better than Princess Liang what had happened to the Sima family, so how could she ask an outsider like herself?

However, just when Zhao Chen was hesitating, another fast horse came galloping from a distance and soon stopped at the door of the house where Zhao Chen was temporarily staying.

The knight on the horse did not dismount, but glanced at everyone present with a rather arrogant look, and said condescendingly: "Who is Zhao Chen? My Lord Liang wants to see him!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chen glanced at the knight and immediately understood what was going on. He then turned to look at the man in brocade clothes at the head and deliberately asked, "Is this also someone sent by your prince?"

The man in brocade clothes obviously recognized the logo on the knight's armor. He shook his head and said, "This is a subordinate of King Liang of Jiuzhou, and my prince is a foreign vassal. There is no relationship. Please don't misunderstand, young master."

To be honest, Prince Liang has always been domineering, and because of the same pronunciation, his Prince Liang has been implicated a lot, so the man in brocade clothes has no good impression of the knight in front of him.

After listening to his explanation, Zhao Chen glanced at the knight who was still looking up at him, and said with a smile: "I have already agreed to attend the appointment with the Prince of Liang, so let your Prince of Liang wait for next time."

The knight was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at Zhao Chen with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe that the other party would actually refuse the prince's summons.

"Prince of Liang? He is just a foreign vassal. Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he snatch people from my prince?
"My prince is the crown prince!" the knight shouted angrily.

"Crown Prince? Have you asked the Queen, the Imperial Concubine, and the current Emperor before you say this?" Without Zhao Chen saying anything, the man in brocade clothes under the King of Liang started to sneer, "It means that my Great Xia has abolished the charges of 'usurpation' and 'disrespect', and people are no longer punished for their words. Otherwise, I would have sent you to the government just based on what you just said."

"How dare you!" The knight became furious and swung his whip at the man in brocade clothes.

He seemed to be a cultivator at the "Gangsha" realm, and this whip condensed the power of the vitality of heaven and earth.

But the man in brocade clothes just sneered when he saw this, and then after wrapping his palm with true energy, he actually grabbed the whip and pulled the knight off the horse.

"You fancy-dress guy, I'm afraid you relied on elixirs to forcibly upgrade your nine orifices, and then used some tricks to draw vital energy into your body, to achieve this magic power?" The man in brocade clothes smiled contemptuously, then kicked the knight in the stomach, causing him to curl up like a "prawn" in pain.

This kick was obviously a revenge for him belittling his own prince.

"Brother, you have great skills." Zhao Chen praised sincerely, because he could see that the man in brocade clothes actually only had the cultivation level of nine orifices.

Those who can defeat masters of "magic power" in the "refining the orifice" stage have all, without exception, comprehended "intention" on their own and can temporarily borrow the "power" of heaven and earth and mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth for their own use.

Unlike a fake genius like himself who relied on the power of others to understand the truth, this person must be a real genius with amazing comprehension like Yan Sanxia!
"Sir, thank you for your compliments... Please!" The man in brocade clothes immediately put on a smile and led Zhao Chen and his group to the intersection ahead. ——The residence of the King of Liang was also in this area, not far away, so everyone did not get on the carriage.

Only the knight stared at the backs of the man in brocade clothes and Zhao Chen with resentment, his face full of ferociousness.

Sensing his malicious gaze, Zhao Chen just muttered in his heart: "Avoiding the Jade Toad during the day will summon ghosts..."

If I had followed the knight to Prince Liang’s mansion just now, would I have met the so-called "Jade Toad"?

I just don’t know if the “ghost” is the “ghost” I think it is.

In addition, the invitation from Prince Liang was also very "coincidental", as if he was helping me avoid the "Yuchan" in Prince Liang's mansion.

While Zhao Chen was talking to the man in brocade clothes and thinking about something, he didn't notice that there was another pair of eyes watching him not far away.

The target of the sight is a petite woman wearing a ghost face mask.

She looked at Zhao Chen who was gradually going away, pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the direction of the palace.

……

In the garden of Prince Liang's Mansion, Ming Hongyi was playing chess with his teacher "Master Yuchan".

"Teacher, you were in a hurry to go to Wuguan before, but what important thing happened?" Ming Hongyi asked casually after filling a black piece into the star position.

"It's nothing, just a subordinate who didn't do his job well and was killed." Master Yuchan shook his head and picked up the white chess piece to fly in the corner.

Ming Hongyi knew that it would not be that simple, otherwise he would not have let a real person go and inquire about it in person.

But he didn't care what his teacher did in private. He just used the black piece to help him and asked, "The situation of the crown prince is getting more and more complicated. Not only are the two nephews from the Xiang and Wei families eyeing him covetously, but my brother has also found a illegitimate child...

"Since the Master wants Concubine Ning, he can't make a move in advance..."

Having said that, he made a gesture of cutting a neck.

Yuchan Zhenren shook his head again, picked up the white pieces and counted them three by three, then said: "If I could do it, I would have done it ten years ago, and would not have waited until now.

"Your Majesty is not only favored by the 'Xuan Du Lu Wen', but he should also be protected by other experts."

At this point, he did not continue the topic and said, "But it is indeed a bit strange for Your Majesty to take back a 'civilian prince' at this time. It is better for me to take a look at it, so as not to fall into Your Majesty's trap."

Looking at the white chess piece at the 33 position, Ming Hongyi felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still nodded and responded: "This king also thought so, and has sent someone to..."

However, before he could finish his words, the knight who was beaten came back crying and reported: "Your Highness, Zhao Chen was called away by Ming Zirong's men... I tried to stop them, and they beat me!"

"Ming Zirong...Uncle King Liang? Why would a foreigner like him intercept Zhao Chen and beat up my men?" Ming Hongyi slammed the table, completely disrupting the chess pieces.

"Prince Liang? You're still trying to intercept him at this time..." Master Yuchan calculated with his fingers, frowned and said, "Maybe I should go to Prince Liang's mansion for a walk."
