The prince didn’t know that Li Hu was also waiting for him.

Before entering Li Hu’s yard, Wang Daniu heard the crisp sound of sharpening a knife.

He walked forward cautiously and saw Li Hu squatting in the yard sharpening a knife.

Amber squatted beside Li Hu, constantly scooping water with a long-handled copper spoon and pouring it onto the grindstone.

Is this going to kill someone? Great!
Wang Daniu walked in excitedly and shouted, “Marshal, the brothers are all ready. Except for Chen Qiang who is still training in Anhui, Wang Yaozu, Jia Yun, Bai Wu and others are all here.”

Li Hu didn’t look up, still sharpening his knife, and said, “Tell them all to go back, why are they joining in the fun!”

Wang Daniu was unhappy: “What do you mean by joining in the fun? That little bastard is insulting our Sharp Warrior Battalion. We must kill him today!”

Li Hu said angrily: “Get lost.”

Wang Daniu: “Get out of here!” Then he turned and left.

Li Hu: “Stop.”

Wang Daniu came back with a smile on his face: “I knew the Marshal would not be able to swallow this.”

Li Hu sharpened his knife faster: “Let them discuss who is willing to lead the troops in the Yongwei Battalion, and wait for me in the front hall tomorrow morning.”

Wang Daniu: “No need to ask, no one is willing to lead a bunch of trash.”

Li Hu was too lazy to argue with him and said directly: “Tell Jia Yun and Bai Wu to bring 20 officers each tomorrow.”

Wang Daniu: “Yes.” He turned around and walked out.

It was only then that Amber finally burst out with the laughter she had been holding back, “General Wang is still so humorous.”

Li Hu sharpened the knife, felt the blade with his hand, and then picked up the dry cloth on the bamboo stool to wipe the water stains. Then he said, “This kid is very evil!”

“Second Master!”

“Second Master!”

Xiangling and Xueyan ran in hand in hand and said to Li Hu, “Miss, please invite the second master to dinner.”

Li Hu stood up holding the knife and said, “Tell the girls that I will not be coming over for dinner today.”

Xiangling and Xueyan: “Oh.” They disappeared in a flash again.

“Two crazy girls!”

Li Hu shook his head, then looked up at the sky. The setting sun was as red as blood. The prince’s men would not come!
He slowly raised the knife in his hand. The blade was like a mirror, reflecting Li Hu’s cold eyes. It was true that human feelings were as thin as paper! Just one thing did not go his way, and he forgot all the good things! Once you dislike someone, you will never like them again.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. Heart for heart, if it can’t be exchanged, then change people!
Li Hu kicked the bamboo stool away, and then chopped it down with a knife, and the bamboo stool instantly broke into pieces. Then he practiced the knife skills, accompanied by flashes of cold knife light and bursts of piercing sounds.
Amber saw that Li Hu was upset, a look of discomfort flashed in her eyes, she sighed silently, and asked the maid to prepare food and bath water for Li Hu.

It was getting dark.

The door of the Wang family mansion was wide open, and the lanterns on both sides illuminated it as bright as day. People were coming and going in a bustling manner, and the crying sounds inside shook the mountains and hills.

The Prince of Nan’an, dressed in plain clothes, walked out, and the guards waiting outside the door hurriedly followed him.

A gust of wind blew, making the paper flags and flowers in front of the door rustle.

The Prince of Nan’an stopped and looked back at the brightly lit palace. A smile appeared in his eyes. He turned around and walked forward again, asking, “Any news?”

The guard whispered back, “West Mountain is still under martial law, and our people dare not approach.” He paused, “Should we think of other ways?”

The Prince of Nan’an County shook his head: “No need. There has been no news for such a long time, the assassination must have failed, and he died at the hands of Li Hu.” At this point, his face darkened: “A bunch of trash! Not good enough to do anything, but always bad! What else can you say? You have assassinated several native chieftains of Southern Xinjiang, and this is all you can do?”

The guard gave a bitter smile and said, “In southern Xinjiang, Li Hu is a local lord. It’s not that easy to assassinate him.”

With a humph, the Prince of Nan’an asked: “What’s Li Hu’s reaction?”

The guard said: “Li Hu did not go out, nor did he submit any memorials to the palace.”

Prince of Nan’an: “What about the palace?”

The guard said: “There is no movement from the prince’s side either.”

The Prince of Nan’an was stunned at first, then laughed and said, “They are both waiting for the other side to give them a way out. What a pity, they are both stubborn!” Then he walked to the carriage and said, “After tonight, there will be a gap between them. Once there is a gap between people, there will never be a way back. As the old saying goes, ‘A broken mirror cannot be mended, and spilled water cannot be collected’. So
The so-called reconciliation is bullshit, it’s just a rehash of old scores.”

The guard smiled and nodded.

The Prince of Nan’an: “This is a good thing! If assassination doesn’t work, then kill him openly, using the prince, no, using the future emperor to kill him.”

At this point, he looked back at the palace, “Now Wang Ren is the commander of the Southern Pacification Division. As long as he discredits Li Hu in the daily and monthly reports submitted to the emperor, hum! When the emperor becomes suspicious of him, it will be his death! Dare to kill the followers of my Nan’an County Prince’s Mansion, cut off the arm of my Nan’an County Prince’s Mansion, and ruin my Nan’an County Prince’s Mansion’s grand plan, then pay with your life!”

The guard said: “There are people from Li Hu in the Southern Pacification Office.”

The Prince of Nan’an: “Wang Ren now hates Li Hu to the core, and he will clear Li Hu’s dogs out of the Southern Pacification Office.” As he said this, he got on the carriage and said, “Father’s people will be entering the capital soon. As soon as they arrive, they will immediately clear out Li Hu’s spies in the capital and poke out his eyes.” After that, he closed the carriage door.

The guard sat down in front of the sedan chair, pulled out his whip, tapped the horse’s buttocks lightly, and shouted in a low voice: “Go!”

The horse pulled the cart and disappeared into the night.

Yuqing Palace

Zhao Tong lit the lamp on the desk.

The prince sat silently at his desk, lost in thought.

Zhao Tong sighed silently and said softly, “My Lord, the palace gate has been locked. Duke Lu will not come.”

The prince came back to his senses from his deep thoughts: “He is waiting for me to bow my head”

Zhao Tong was stunned.

The prince said: “I am the king and he is the subject. I wonder if there is any king in the world who would bow to his subjects? I don’t believe it! If we leave Zhang the butcher, we will eat hairy pigs?!”

Zhao Tong knew that the prince was angry, but he did not dare to persuade him. He would soon be the emperor!
With a “humph”, the prince spread out the memorials and official documents on the desk, ready to review them.

Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment and said softly, “My Lord, you haven’t paid your respects to the Queen yet.”

The Dashun dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the crown prince had to pay his respects to the empress every morning and evening.

The prince finally remembered. No wonder no one from Kunning Palace had come to deliver the queen’s instructions for such a long time, teaching him how to handle this matter. It turned out that she was waiting for him to pay his respects and lecture him in person.

Thinking of this, the prince frowned. He was no longer a three-year-old child and he still had to listen to his mother in everything.

Zhao Tong: “Prince”

The prince sighed and said, “Just bear with it for a while. Once you sit on that chair, you won’t have to listen to others in everything!” (End of this chapter)
