In the silence, everyone tactfully chose to leave.
What a joke, even the dignified Ning King had been chased away, and they were still staying here, waiting to go to the Imperial Guards prison to drink tea?!
Not long after, the huge Warm Fragrance Pavilion was empty.
Seeing this, the brothel madame could only bring Zhou Miaodan to the room where Ling Chen and the others were.
Just as he walked into the room, he saw Ling Chen looking at Prince Xin with a smile that was not a smile, playing with the teacup in his hand,"Now that there is no one to disturb, Your Highness Prince Xin, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly, right?”
As he spoke, an impatient expression appeared on his face.
The reason why he ended the bidding was because he was here tonight.
They weren't really here to watch the show!
Prince Xin naturally wasn't here to act.
At this moment, his expression was as dark as water, and he was no longer as calm as before. He could no longer remain calm as he looked at Ling Chen, and under Ling Chen's gaze, he felt as if the air around him had frozen, becoming denser and denser, and he felt as if he could not breathe.
He could feel that from this moment on…
Ling Chen had already taken the lead!
This feeling, the moment Lu Wenzhao dared to execute Ling Chen's orders in front of him, reached its peak!
This was completely unacceptable to him!
"Damned Ning Wang, coming out of nowhere to oppose this king and causing this king to lose face. He actually relied on the power of this Embroidered Uniform Guards to resolve this matter…If so, how can this king still have any dignity in front of this person?!”
Thoughts flew through his mind. Prince Xin could not help but take a deep breath before finally recovering.
He swept his gaze over the brothel madame and signaled her to leave. Then, he looked at Zhou Miaodan and said,"This Prince has invited Lord Ling for a gathering tonight without any other intentions. It's just that I want to make friends with Lord Ling!”
As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver notes and placed them on the table.
"Datong Bank's bank in the capital, 400,000 taels of silver. Excluding the 200,000 taels that I gave to Miss Miao Tong, the rest is a small token of my appreciation to Lord Ling, congratulations on your promotion!”
Seeing this, Zhou Miaodan's eyelashes trembled slightly and the shock in her eyes could not be concealed.
She was a smart woman and was born into an aristocratic family of officials. She was naturally not unfamiliar with this scene.
However, what made her feel strange was that the dignified Prince Xin, who usually had countless people come to seek refuge with just a word, now needed to pay the price of 400,000 taels of silver in order to rope in a thousand men of the Embroidered Uniform Guards? For this, he did not hesitate to confront Prince Ning in public?!
And…he still felt that it was not enough?
In disbelief, Prince Xin took out a box from the chair beside him and placed it on the table.
When the box was opened, a fragrant smell immediately rose from the dark room, and rays of light flashed.
Three dragon-eye-sized pills were placed neatly. They emitted a faint fragrance, but when he smelled them carefully, he couldn't feel it at all. It was very strange.
"Shaolin's Great Cyclic Pellet, the imperial family's collection!”
When Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying saw the three pills, envy appeared in their eyes.
However, Prince Xin did not seem to care at all."This pill is rare in the world and is rumored to be the secret of the Shaolin Temple. Not only can it bring the dead back to life, but it can also heal all injuries and increase one's strength. It's rumored that the abbot of the Shaolin Temple can only use one in his life!”
"In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial family has only collected three. Now, they are all in this king's hands!”
"This Prince knows that Lord Ling's blade technique is extremely high and rare in the world, but it seems that he hasn't opened up the conception and governor meridians yet.”
As he spoke, he slowly and seductively pushed the box towards Ling Chen,"With these three great recovery pills, Lord Ling's inner energy cultivation will surely be able to reach a higher level!”
One had to admit that the boldness that Prince Xin displayed at this moment was even greater than Prince Ning.
In order to 'befriend' Ling Chen, he was extremely sincere!
Zhou Miaodan was stunned.
Was it because he didn't understand or because the world had changed too quickly? Nowadays, even making friends had to pay such a huge price, right? What ability did this thousand household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards have to make His Highness Prince Xin value him so much?!
What was even more unbelievable was that it was not over yet!
Prince Xin took out something from his bosom and placed it on the table.
"This Prince knows that Lord Ling seems to still be living in the yamen of the Northern Garrison? The head of the Embroidered Uniform Guards is too shabby. This courtyard is located outside the Imperial City and was given by the late Emperor. Today, this king will give it to Lord Ling!”
Hiss!
Even Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying couldn't help but gasp.
How could an ordinary residence compare to the courtyard that the late emperor had bestowed upon a prince? As Prince Xin's subordinates, they naturally knew that this courtyard occupied a huge area. It was resplendent and had countless pavilions. It was the Crown Prince's residence when the late Emperor was the Crown Prince!
Prince Xin actually gave it to Ling Chen?
At this moment, the two of them didn't care if this was a taboo. There was only one thought in their minds.
What kind of a big deal was this!
Even the way Ling Chen looked at Prince Xin changed.
Gold and silver!
A beauty!
A mansion!
Spirit pills!
Prince Xin was indeed born in the royal family. His attainments in controlling the human heart were extremely deep. The four kinds of sincerity he gave stacked layer by layer, converging into an indescribable temptation. There were definitely very few people in the world who could reject him.
He thought so too.
As such, after speaking, he calmly looked at Ling Chen, waiting for a response…he firmly believed that no matter how arrogant and domineering Ling Chen was, he would not be able to remain indifferent!
No one could resist such a temptation!
However, Ling Chen's gaze only revealed a trace of amazement, but he did not show any intention of expressing it.
"You…"
Prince Xin's heart skipped a beat. The pride and confidence that he had just recovered was instantly dealt another blow.
A hint of determination appeared in his eyes. He suddenly gritted his teeth, put his palms together, and clapped again.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and a green figure slowly walked in. It was a beauty who was not inferior to Zhou Miaodan.
Her face was a bit pale, and she seemed unwilling, but she stared at Ling Chen with determination.
"This woman's name is Miao Xuan, and she's proficient in painting and calligraphy. She was saved by me many years ago!”
Prince Xin glanced at the woman, then looked at Ling Chen and said,"Up until now, this Prince has never touched her. If Lord Ling thinks that her looks are acceptable, how about letting her and Miss Miao Tong follow you?”
Zhou Miaodan's expression changed drastically as she looked at Prince Xin in disbelief!
One had to admit that Miao Xuan and Miao Tong were beautiful. When they stood together, they were irresistible to any man in the world…and it was obvious that Prince Xin knew this, which was why he added another bargaining chip at the end.
This was obviously his last bargaining chip.
As such, Ling Chen calmly smiled and finally said,"Your Highness Prince Xin is so generous, I'm afraid it's not just to make friends with this Ling, right?”
"Haha…"
When Prince Xin saw this, the aura that controlled everything appeared on his body again. He smiled slightly and said,"Of course, if Lord Ling is willing to befriend this Prince, this Prince hopes that Lord Ling can release the Four Prodigies of Qingcheng and Yu Renyan from the imperial prison…"
"Their master, the Sect Master of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, Yu Canghai, is one of my men!”
At this moment, he had thought that Ling Chen would agree without hesitation…of course, letting him go was just a facade, and he was only using this matter to make Ling Chen express his stance.
And if Ling Chen agreed, that meant…
This newly risen Embroidered Uniform Guard big shot, who had attracted the attention of various forces, would become his man!
Prince Xin was looking forward to this!
However, it was clear that Ling Chen had disappointed him.
"No, no, no…"
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, Ling Chen's face suddenly revealed a mocking expression," What I mean is that Your Highness Prince Xin has spent so much effort to rope me in…"
"They are preparing to rebel."
These words were like a thunderclap, deafening the deaf.
Prince Xin's expression froze.
