nThe ruthless and greedy Qian Jiyun, who even dared to hit me, has returned to the capital? Why did he return so soon?

nI thought Qian Jiyun wouldn’t return to the capital if I didn’t set off for the southern border. I wasn’t expecting him to return!

nHe instructed the guard beside him anxiously, “No, no! Hurry up and arrange a horse carriage for me. I want to leave the city to hide!”

nHe had to hide. Qian Jiyun would beat him up if he caught him. That man killed people at the border like flies. His fists were tougher than iron. How could a prince like him, who lived a pampered life, be his match?

nHis advisor sighed to himself. “Your Highness, why do you want to hide?”

nWhy are we so unlucky to have been assigned to Prince De? We’re going crazy!

n“Prince Zhan Yun’s return has nothing to do with you.”

n“That’s right, Your Highness. Sure, Prince Zhan Yun is back. But why should you care about him?”

n“What do you know?” Prince De glared at his advisors.

n“How has it got nothing to do with me? Father sent me to the southern border to seize Qian Jiyun’s territory. Knowing how he quibbles over every detail, how could he not quibble with me?”

nIf it were him, he would not let this matter rest either.

nWhoever dared to snatch what was his would have to fight him to the death. Killing them straightaway would be letting them off easy!

nQian Jiyun was a barbarian. He had beaten him up several times. There was no use complaining to his father, and it would continue to be useless complaining to him if he were beaten up again.

nWas he supposed to deliver himself to Qian Jiyun to be beaten up instead of hiding quickly?

n“I don’t know what Father is thinking. He actually sent me to Qian Jiyun’s territory to fight with him! He’s a wolf who eats people without spitting out their bones. I’m clean-limbed. How can I snatch food from a wolf’s mouth?”

nHe was very suspicious that he was not his father’s biological son.

nOtherwise, why would his father send him to the southern border to die? Staying in Qian Jiyun’s territory was not easy.

nJust look at what happened to his uncle, Prince Lei Ting.

nAnyone with discernment would know what would happen if they tried to compete with Qian Jiyun. Qian Jiyun would drag them back and humiliate them. And they would still have to use their remaining value to elevate Qian Jiyun to a higher position.

n“Your Highness, you have the Emperor’s backing. Why are you afraid of him?” an advisor encouraged Prince De.

nNo matter how powerful Qian Jiyun was, he was only a court official. In comparison to Prince De, he was nothing.

n“That’s right, Your Highness. You’re a proper prince, and Qian Jiyun is only a prince of the second rank. With his status, he’ll have to kneel and greet you.”

nUpon hearing what the advisors said, Prince De rolled his eyes.

nHe enjoyed playing and disliked listening to national affairs, but that did not make him a fool.

nWould Qian Jiyun greet me? If I dare order Qian Jiyun around like this, he’ll surely teach me a lesson and make me bedridden for half a month!

nThat’s the real Qian Jiyun!

nFather won’t punish Qian Jiyun if he beats me up again because Daqing Kingdom can’t afford to lose Prince Zhan Yun!

n“Shut up!”
