Chapter 853

After Ximen Beifeng finished speaking, he sighed again, and said, "It is rumored that His Royal Highness is arrogant and domineering, and has an extreme personality. Those who try to interfere with his will will never end well."

Ximen Wusai lowered his head and said, "I just thought of this too."

Seeing Ximen Wubei's shameless look, Ximen Wubei sighed and said, "Forget it, since the words have been said, there is no room for reversal, but what does His Highness the Crown Prince think of our Ximen Villa?"

"The prince has always regarded our Ximen Villa as a subject of Zhao Guo."

After speaking, he frowned again, and said: "It seems that not only our Ximen Villa is regarded as a vassal, but other Jianghu sects, he seems to be regarded as a vassal of Zhao Guo!"

When Ximen Beifeng heard the news, his eyebrows frowned into the word 'Chuan', and he said: "He is really as self-willed as the rumors say! He treats the whole Jianghu as his subordinate, but people in the Jianghu never think that he is a member of the imperial court! No wonder Now there are many rumors about him circulating in the Jianghu, it is because some people don't want to see him enthroned!"

Ximen Wubei heard the words, recalled the scene of contact with Shangguan Xiaoyao, and said: "Second Grandpa, I don't think His Royal Highness is as miserable as the rumors say."

Ximen Beifeng glanced at him in surprise, and asked with great interest, "Oh? How did you see that?"

"He is the prince. If he is really as bad as the rumors say, how can he win the hearts of the people? I have met the attendants who follow him, and I feel that they are sincerely submitting to the prince. And it can make the first-class masters in the world submit willingly I'm afraid they won't be able to surrender by relying on power and wealth."

Ximen Wubei felt more and more that the legendary Zhao Rui in the Jianghu was afraid that others were deliberately pouring dirty water on him, so he said: "I feel that there are various rumors about him in the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu do not want to be bound by the law, most people jump out of the law, they want to sit on the court in the future is a king who does not care about the affairs of the Jianghu, rather than a wise king who can coordinate the world!"

This time Ximen Beifeng was completely taken aback.He looked at Ximen Wubei, his eyes were full of curiosity and a hint of relief, and said: "There are rumors in the world that Zhao Rui likes the Miemenjue faction. The first rumor started a year ago, when the second-rate sect Linjiang faction He was removed from the arena, but no one found the murderer. Not long after, there were rumors in the arena that the Linjiang faction was destroyed by the prince. In the following year, small sects were eliminated successively, and there were rumors about it. Now that I think about it carefully, I’m afraid it’s not entirely true, perhaps someone poured dirty water on him.”

Ximen Wubei also felt that there was a possibility.Now all the warriors in the Jianghu in Wancheng are discussing the matter of the extermination faction of the current crown prince, but the crown prince seems to have not heard those discussions, ignoring the rumors in the Jianghu at all, just this shows his capacity!

The two were silent for a while, and finally Ximen Beifeng said solemnly: "Okay, what kind of person he is is not for us to discuss. Instead, tell him that giving him the "Ximen Sword Art" this time will benefit us." Has Ximen Villa ever fought for an official position?"

Ximen Wubei shook his head and said, "No, I once asked for an official position, but he didn't give it to me."

Ximen Beifeng's expression was a bit ugly. If the emperor of the dynasty heard that there was a Jianghu sect submitting to him, he would definitely give him an official position, even if it was a vain position without any rights.

But since Ximen Wubei handed over "Ximen Sword Art", the crown prince would not give him an official position!
"He is unwilling to accept the surrender of our Ximen Villa. It seems that the power of our Ximen Villa has not been taken seriously by him!"

A look of resentment flashed across Ximen Beifeng's eyes. After all, Ximen Villa is an equal sect to the Xueshan Sword Sect. Now that he voluntarily submits to the current crown prince, he will be rejected!

When Ximen Wusai heard the words, he really wanted to say again that the crown prince regards the whole world as his subject, but he couldn't say it when he got to his lips.

"Although he did not accept the surrender of our Ximen Villa, he agreed to help us solve the crisis in Ximen Villa."

He put it another way, believing that with this news, Ximen Beifeng should feel better, right?

"Then let's see how he plans to solve the crisis in our Ximen Villa!"

……

There are still warriors pouring in from Wancheng, but with the news that the crown prince appeared in Wancheng, the warriors who enter Wancheng now spontaneously carry guides.

It is said that the people in the rivers and lakes keep saying that they don't take the imperial court seriously, but how many real court dignitaries sit in Wancheng and don't take the current prince seriously.

Wancheng City Lord's Mansion.

After Nie Mantian learned that Shangguan Xiaoyao's identity was exposed, he frowned, glanced at his military adviser, and asked, "Can I go to meet the prince at this time?"

The military division replied: "No need to go."

"Why?"

"Since His Royal Highness did not notify the city lord after entering the city, it proves that he doesn't like to make a big show. Although his identity was exposed, he seems to have never hidden his identity. Now he goes to meet him, but he may not be able to welcome him. The city lord took the initiative to meet him Prince, it is still possible."

After receiving the answer from the military adviser, Nie Mantian immediately walked towards Shangwan Inn.

This time he only brought two guards with him, and his actions immediately attracted the attention of the people in Jiang Hu.

Going all the way, when they came to the door of Shangwan Inn, Sun Gan, the innkeeper, stood guard at the door with a smile on his face.

"My lord, please forgive me for offending me yesterday. If my lord wants to check on the warrior's guide, just check it now."

Sun Qian's attitude was completely different from that in the morning. As soon as Shangguan Xiaoyao's identity was guessed by everyone, he became afraid.

Although Hongnong Yang's family stood behind him, although he could not take the court seriously, he couldn't.In the morning, the city guards came to arrest people, but he directly blocked them. At that time, the city guards retreated, and he thought it was the city guards who were afraid of the Hongnong Yang family behind him. The nobleman in the inn.

Originally, he was thinking about how to make amends to Nie Mantian, but Shangguan Xiaoyao's identity was not considered a real exposure, and everyone only guessed that the young man in white was the prince.

Under the circumstances that he was not sure whether the young man in white was the prince, he took the initiative to admit his mistake to the City Lord's Mansion, which was to admit cowardice.And he also went to see Shangguan Xiaoyao, but was rejected behind closed doors.

Now the city lord Nie Mantian came to Shangwan Inn. After he heard the news, he immediately stood at the door of the inn to welcome the apology, and at the same time asked tentatively: "Is that noble man really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Nie Mantian glanced at Sun Qian indifferently, and said, "Don't you know if you ask yourself?"

Sun Gan's face immediately turned livid. It's not like he hasn't seen him before, but he was rejected!
"My lord, you also know that I'm in business. This time, my lord's investigation of Luyin made me a small profit. If I didn't have my lord to help me behind the scenes, I wouldn't be able to make any money. The city lord My lord has put in a lot of effort, I can share half of the money I earn from those Jianghu warriors."

After all, Sun Qian is a businessman, and he is also a well-rounded person. After seeing the indifference on Nie Mantian's face this time, he immediately promised a lot of money.

After investigating the matter of Lu Yin, a herringbone room cost 50 taels of silver, but it was increased ten times, and it was 500 taels.Moreover, the fee is still based on the head. Just this morning, Sun Gan earned tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Now he divides half of the tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is at least 5000 taels, and the price of 5000 taels is enough to buy a county magistrate if it is done in secret.

And Wancheng is just a small county, only because there are many sects around it, Wancheng County calls the city lord the city lord, and the official worships the fifth rank.

This is a special case. In places where there are many sects, the county magistrate is a fifth-rank official.This is also the initial official position set up by the imperial court to recruit Jianghu sects.

Nie Mantian's family was originally a sect, but when the emperor Taizu conquered the country, his ancestor immediately joined the court and changed his identity as the city lord of Wancheng, which also made the fifth-rank officials almost all hereditary.

Governing the rivers and lakes with the Jianghu sects is to prevent riots in the Jianghu sects.It's just that people in Jianghu have always been ashamed of this kind of sect that has taken refuge in the imperial court, and they are not willing to call themselves sects anymore, but prefer the title of city lord.

Sun Gan felt that he had caused trouble, and he didn't pay attention to a Wancheng city lord, but he couldn't ignore the current prince.Even the Yang family of Hongnong behind him, after seeing the prince, would still have to greet him, not to mention the innkeeper in a small county town?
"Hehe, Fatty Sun, you have today too!"

Seeing Sun Qian admitting his mistake, Nie Mantian felt as refreshed as if he had eaten ice cubes in the dog days.

Sun Gan smiled and said nothing, he just laughed off this kind of ridicule.

Seeing him like this, Nie Mantian also knew that mocking him was useless, and immediately said: "I will share [-]% of today's profit, and I will give you a good word for your Highness!"

"Seventy percent? Do you think my money fell from the sky? City Lord Nie, you really know how to speak!"

Sun Gan is not happy anymore. As a businessman, money is the most important thing. Now that the other party wants to share [-]% of the money, how can he accept it?

After speaking, Sun Qian asked with some entanglement: "Is he really the prince?"

Nie Mantian smiled and said nothing, but his right hand still gestured to him with the number 'seven'.

Sun Gan was completely entangled. Before the identity of Shangguan Xiaoyao was exposed, he still felt that he had made a lot of money from this incident of leading the way. Now that the identity of the prince has been exposed, what qualifications do he have? Stop the city guards who check on Luyin?
This is really a blatant confrontation with the imperial court, and it will be decapitated!
