Li Chen did not intend to ignore the dozens of families in the fief. The benefits that should be given would not be small. He, Li Chen, did not have much else but money!
Li Chen could not do something like sucking the blood of the commoners like a landlord.
"Yes, Master." Li Ya noted down Li Chen's words. She would buy more when she went shopping later and send them over.
Li Ya and Li Xi were very smart. Li Chen did not just treat them as maids, he would gradually train them to become the managers of the Inner Residence. As for the two people at home who were just broken melons, they would continue to stay and warm their beds. It was impossible for them to have power.
"Lord Marquis, you're here. Take a look. This is the best venison I've hunted last night.”
The vendors in Xi City were very familiar with Li Chen. Unlike others, Li Chen had come to buy vegetables and meat personally. He had carefully selected them. Of course, he would not lose out on others. The price was negotiable, but the premise was that the food was good.
Li Chen looked at the venison on the stall and frowned. He shook his head and said,""Forget about venison. The weather is hot. Eating too much venison will make you angry. Send that wild boar to the residence.”
Wild boars were good things, but they were difficult to deal with.
"Alright, Lord Marquis, don't worry. This lowly one will definitely deliver it to you on time.”The peddler smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Who in Xi City didn't like to do business with Li Chen? He was generous, polite, and never put on airs. As long as the item was good, the price was not a problem!!!
A wild boar, a few living fish, and some vegetables. After buying the things, Li Chen was ready to go home. Now that the craftsmen had settled down, he only needed to be responsible for the lives of himself, a few servant girls, and two palace maids.
"That bastard! Stop right there!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out on the street, followed by the sound of hooves. A few fast horses quickly appeared on the street, scaring the surrounding vendors into dodging. Those who dared to ride horses in the city with such a big fanfare were either rich or noble. They could not afford to offend them. This was common sense.
You called me?
Seeing the other party riding a horse straight at him, Li Er saw that the surrounding peddlers were so scared that they avoided him. He was instantly unhappy, and his impression of the person became bad.
" You're Li Chen!!"
A few horses rushed towards Li Chen. Li Ya and Li Xi were so scared that their faces turned pale. They wanted to pull their master away, but Li Chen did not care at all. He did not have the intention to move aside. I'm afraid you'll die a miserable death.
When the time came, the system would force a counterattack. Let's see if you hit me or I hit you!!
However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of really bumping into him. The horse stopped less than two meters away from him. The horse's hooves scraped against the rocks, making an ear-piercing sound. Li Chen shook his head repeatedly. This kind of behavior hurt the horse's hooves the most.
The person held the horsewhip and showed off his riding skills. At the same time, he gave Li Chen a show of strength. Then, he pointed at Li Chen and asked loudly.
Li Chen smiled faintly. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the little fatty on the horse's back." So what if I am? So what if I'm not? Who are you? Didn't your parents teach you to report your name first?”
"How dare you!"
The little fatty on the horse's back had a face full of anger. He pointed his whip at Li Chen and said angrily,"I am the King of Yue, a mere third-grade county marquis.!”
It was Li Tai, King of Yue. No wonder he was so bold. Who in Chang 'an dared to be more powerful than him?
He was not the Crown Prince, but even more so. He was arrogant and had great courage. Of course, this was Li Erchong's doing. However, Li Erchong was your father, and I was not your father.
Li Ya and Li Xi's faces were pale. They couldn't believe that the King of Yue would come to find trouble with their master. Although they were panicking, they didn't dare to move. They knew their master's temper very well. If they dared to kneel, they would get lost.
"Oh!" A trace of anger flashed in Li Chen's eyes. He looked at Li Tai, who was looking down at him and smiled." Although I'm a small third-class marquis, this kowtowing is not something you, Li Tai, can bear."”
"How dare you!"
Li Tai couldn't believe it. He had put Li Chen in an awkward position, but Li Chen didn't buy it. Not only did Li Chen not buy it, but he even called him by his name. This was the first time Li Tai had seen such a daring person.
During this period of time, Li Chen's reputation in Chang 'an was great, but Li Tai did not take him seriously. He was just a small merchant. Even if he was conferred a title, he would only be a third-class county marquis. It was not a big deal. He was the King of Yue!!
However, after Empress Zhangsun gave her two favorite palace maids, Huan 'er and Yun' er, to Li Chen, Li Tai immediately lost his composure. He had been eyeing these two palace maids for a long time, but who would have thought that they would be given to Li Chen? He had asked for them many times, but Empress Zhangsun had never agreed to give them to him.
Li Tai was extremely upset that the person he wanted had been snatched away. The next day, he couldn't wait to come and ask for the two palace maids. If Empress Zhangsun didn't give them to him, he would ask for them from Li Chen. The result would be the same anyway, right?
How could the two little beauties be ruined by Li Chen!!
Unfortunately, the two little beauties that Li Tai had always coveted had already been eaten by Li Chen, turning from young girls into women.
" Look at the whip!!!"
Li Chen didn't give him face, which made Li Tai furious. He took the whip and whipped it at Li Chen. Li Chen's expression changed. Li Ya and Li Xi beside him cried out in surprise. The two little girls hurriedly stepped forward to block the whip for Li Chen.
Li Chen was also furious. He pushed Li Ya and Li Xi away and raised his hand to grab the whip. A golden light flashed in his hand, and he held the whip firmly in his hand without suffering any damage.
This Li Tai was simply arrogant. He had hit people without distinguishing right from wrong. He had already touched Li Chen's bottom line. So what if it was Li Tai? So what if it was the King of Yue? Your father wasn't so arrogant. What are you being arrogant for?!
"Get down here!"
Li Chen pulled with all his might. After transmigrating, Li Chen gradually felt that his physical fitness was improving day by day. He did not know if it was because of the system, but his strength had increased. He, who originally did not have much flesh, gradually became muscular and had an explosive power.
" You're alright?!"
Li Tai was stunned when he saw that Li Chen was fine with the whip. In the next second, a huge force pulled Li Tai off the horse's back.
"Bang!"
