Chapter 102 - Hedonist ConquerorLooking at the furious expression on Xiang Changan"s face, Xiang Yun smiled coldly, "Your Highness, this one doesn"t dare to use force against you."
"It"s just that I"m the deputy mayor of Qin Feng City and someone is disturbing the security of the city, destroying the business of the shop." It"s just that I"m the deputy mayor of Qin Feng City, and someone is disturbing the security of the city and destroying the business of the shop.
Xiang Yun laughed sinisterly!
"If anyone else doesn"t give you money or apologize, then just leave them anything you want. It"s fine if you break your hands or legs!"
"You!"
All of a sudden, the members of the An Lin Party from top to bottom, dozens of core members were all trembling with fear in their hearts.
Before, Zhou Henglong"s fate was right before their eyes, and even Zhou Henglong had been forced into a pa.s.sive position. Who knew if this Crown Prince would dare to disarm them!"What should we do?"
"Yeah, what do we do? This guy is a lunatic!"
For a time, the people who had been extremely arrogant, waiting for Xiang Yun to make a fool of himself, were all panicking as they looked at each other in dismay!
Even Xiang Changan was fl.u.s.tered. His previously aloof demeanor as a big boss was replaced with that of a child"s, helpless.
He couldn"t help but turn to look at Yang Guanlin, who was gritting his teeth helplessly.
At last, Yang Guanglin said in a low voice, "Your Highness, we messed up today. This guy came prepared. At worst, we can just give him some money. Next time, we"ll get him back!"Xiang Chang An nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said to Xiang Yun, "I shall pay! "You can calculate the total amount of money and I"ll reward you guys!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun smiled and waved towards the brothel"s old procuress.
"w.a.n.g Ma, bring me the bills for His Highness!"
When Mother w.a.n.g, the Brothel Keeper of the Pinnacle Pavilion, heard this, she handed over a slip of paper with both hands in fear and trepidation. On it was written "The expenses of today"s Anlin party members".Xiang Yun only lowered his head to take a glance before frowning and shaking his head as he spoke.
"Mother w.a.n.g, what"s wrong with your bill? Why is it only 5,300 taels of silver? Do you look down on the signboard of our Exquisite Phoenix Pavilion, or the wealth of these n.o.bles in front of you? Bring me a pen, I"ll fix it! "Hearing this, how could the old procuress dare to disobey? She hurriedly took out a pen and ink and pa.s.sed it to Xiang Yun. The latter took the brush and added three zeros to the five thousand numbers!
"Alright, five million and three hundred taels of silver. We"re all familiar with each other, so let"s calculate five million taels for each of you!" Xiang Yun slapped the bill on the table as he spoke to Xiang Chang An and the rest!"Five million!" Why don"t you just s.n.a.t.c.h it! "
This time, Yang Guanglin finally could not hold back and let out an angry shout. Even Xiang Changan"s expression was ugly, while the other n.o.ble sons and juniors could not help but excitedly attack him.
Regarding this, Xiang Yun had only said one sentence!
"If you think this number is wrong, then follow me back to the Qin Feng City dungeon. I will tell you everything, and I guarantee that you will be convinced. After all, there are very few people as fair as me in this world."
Xiang Yun grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, his sinister expression as if he was about to devour someone!
Seeing Xiang Yun"s expression, how could the crowd not know what this crown prince meant? If anyone disagrees, I"ll bring you all to the prison to serve you with a great punishment, all the way until you submit!
This time, Xiang Chang An and the rest were in a predicament once again. Originally, they had come to take revenge on Xiang Yun in a threatening manner, partly because of the eighth prince"s support, and secondly because of their advantage in numbers!
However, Xiang Yun had skillfully separated the relationship between the eighth prince and the rest and had also brought an army over. The logic was hard and the fists were even harder, immediately rendering them unable to resist!
For a time, everyone was panic-stricken. Some people even took out their money to see how many taels of silver they had!Seeing this scene, Yang Guanglin knew that the outcome of today had most likely already been decided, and that he had underestimated Xiang Yun.
He could only whisper a few sentences into Xiang Changan"s ears, and the latter finally nodded in agreement with a heavy heart!
Soon after, a dramatic scene appeared in the Feng Ting Pavilion. The members of the An Lin Party, who were extremely arrogant earlier, had all gathered together to gather money to pay for their own debts.
There was nothing they could do about it, even though five million wasn"t a large sum of money for them.However, no one would bring five million silver with them just by walking out of the door, so they could only gather money together to pay the bill.
In the end, a thick stack of banknotes was placed in front of Xiang Yun, who had to be counted out clearly before he was willing to let them pa.s.s. As he left, Xiang Yun did not forget to wave towards Xiang Chang An and the rest."Your Highness eighth prince, thank you for visiting the store. I welcome everyone to visit again!"
Hearing this, Xiang Changan, who was walking at the very front of the group, almost fell to the ground in anger!
Today was the first time their An Lin party and the "Dragon City Twin Fiends" had crossed swords and ended up in such a defeated state. Xiang Changan"s heart was like a surging volcano!Seeing the group of disgraced members of the An Lin Party slip away gloomily from the entrance of the Mighty Phoenix Pavilion, the ladies of the Clear Wind Pavilion burst into cheers, forming a stark contrast to the former.
This time, everyone finally saw the Crown Prince"s methods. He had so many influential sons and even the eighth prince.
On the other hand, Xiang Yun had only used half an incense"s time to come here and solve all the problems, and had even tricked the other party by five million silver taels.
He recalled how the Crown Prince had beaten Li Donglai up before the city gate and issued the order to kill him. His highness" actions now were not like those of a foppish young lord. Instead, he had become the foppish young lord"s nemesis!
Soon after, the group of people walked out of the pavilion. The fatty looked outside and saw that a large number of soldiers had really arrived, surrounding the entire pavilion so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
"Boss, you really are my good brother. As the saying goes, "One cannot bear to see true love when in trouble". You really have great feelings for me. You"ve made such a huge ruckus to save me."
Xiang Yun curled his lips in an unconcerned manner, "Don"t be so grateful. It"s a small matter for you to be beaten up. Phoenix Pavilion is my precious property, there can be no mistakes.""Ugh!" Fatty Niu was speechless for a moment.
"Prince, when did you bring this army? How come I didn"t know about it?" Lin Wan"er asked curiously. She remembered that both she and Xiang Yun had come alone, but had not brought anyone with them.
Xiang Yun smiled, saying, "I already knew that this group of people harbors malicious intents, so I naturally made some preparations. Earlier, when you were waiting outside the door, I took out the command medallion to give Housekeeper Zhang and had him deploy troops and protect the courtyard."
"The crown prince is so smart!" Lin Wan"er beamed a bright smile as she narrowed her eyes, making her look like two crescent moons."Of course!"
Afterwards, Xiang Yun personally escorted Fatty Niu back to the Ox Mansion. This fellow had been cursing viciously the entire way, even saying that he would definitely take revenge on these fellows during the Great Games.
Xiang Yun had thought at that time, If this fellow had only half the skill to talk, then he wouldn"t have come to save him today.However, having experienced such an incident, Xiang Yun was clear that even the An Lin Party would not let this matter rest. They would most likely hate him by now, and these people would not stop even in the Great Games.
Of course, Xiang Yun was not the least bit afraid. If those people really plotted against him, he would definitely make them regret it.
After returning to the Crown Prince"s Palace, Xiang Yun began cultivating as usual!
At the same time, the group of people who had returned to the fully filled building gathered in Xiang Chang An"s room. Everyone was silent, the atmosphere in the room was frighteningly quiet!
All of them had unsightly looks on their faces. Xiang Changan was so angry that his face turned green as he panted heavily through his nose.
This was the first time since the establishment of the An Lin Party that it had suffered a setback. In the past, with the status and influence of a group of people, the An Lin Party had always been successful wherever they went.Yet today, they had been utterly defeated by Xiang Yun alone, causing them to feel humiliated.
"d.a.m.ned Xiang Yun! How dare he look down on me!" Prince Xiang Changan finally spoke, his voice low and resentful.
"Boss, today was just an accident. I didn"t expect that guy to have so much preparation." Yang Guanglin comforted.
"Are we not prepared?" Xiang Changan was indignant and indignant. He had originally wanted to get back at his cousin. He hadn"t thought that he would suffer so much upon meeting him.
"Boss, this is Qin Feng city after all, and it"s Xiang Yun"s territory. Our powerful dragons can"t suppress a snake on the ground, so it"s normal for us to not have fought him.""Humph!" Xiang Chang An snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with this explanation.
After a while, Xiang Changan suddenly turned to the crowd and asked, "That"s right, how is that Zhou Xialong guy? Did he find someone to treat him?"
"Your Highness, don"t worry. We"ve already sought out the best doctor in Qin Feng City and even used the Bone Replenishing Pill that we brought back from the imperial city. Our arms have already been reattached." Yang Guanglin quickly replied.
"That"s good!" Xiang Changan nodded as he suddenly thought of something!
"Eh, Xiang Yun that trash, isn"t he unable to cultivate? The speed of this fellow"s sword today …"
Xiang Chang An suddenly recalled the sword that had cut off Zhou Xian Long"s arm today. It was as fast as lightning and even he was unable to see it clearly. He immediately felt a wave of shock.
Hearing this, Yang Guanglin was also stunned. He also remembered Xiang Yun"s sword strike today. Judging from his strength as a Six-Cloud martial pract.i.tioner, this sword attack could be considered to be very fast and efficient. It was obviously not something an ordinary person could achieve!
"Could it be that this boy has become a Cloud Warrior?" Yang Guanglin looked surprised.
"Impossible, he clearly had zero spiritual roots when he tested it on the Heavenly Stage. How could he cultivate Yun Li?!" Xiang Chang An flatly rejected."Could it be that this child cultivates some sort of body-tempering cultivation technique?" Yang Guanglin said doubtfully.
"That"s right! This boy must have cultivated a body tempering cultivation technique. His body is very hard!" Li Donglai, who was standing to the side and still had the bandages on his hands, spoke in agreement.
Li Donglai had a deep understanding of the strength of Xiang Yun"s physique. His strength as a martial artist from Three Clouds Sect actually caused him to not be able to fend off Xiang Yun"s attacks, and both his hands were broken.
Only after hearing this did Xiang Changan relax and snort coldly.
"Hmph, so you are just a lowly Body Tempering cultivator. In the future, you will not even be able to climb up to the Yellow Cloud Realm. You are destined to be an ant!" You want to fight us? "
The moment the fear and dread in Xiang Chang An"s heart disappeared, the young man"s face returned to the prideful indifference that a boss of the An Lin Party should have!
"Do you have any other options? If you want to deal with that guy, then just say it out. Don"t make all of you sound like you"re deaf and mute!"
Now that the An Lin Party had suffered such a huge loss, he naturally could not let it go. Otherwise, the An Lin Party would not continue to survive in the future. This matter was enough to be ridiculed by others.Hearing Xiang Chang An"s words, everyone looked at each other, speechless.
There was no helping it, the opponent they were facing right now was Xiang Yun. He was someone with a n.o.ble status that even Xiang Changan found hard to suppress, and he was also someone who did not follow common sense. He was rather troublesome to deal with!
For a time, everyone was thinking hard.As the saying goes, three smelly smiths competing against Zhuge Liang, the principle of more people and more power was never wrong. Just as everyone was pondering and unable to figure it out, a wretched young man in a Chinese robe walked out from the crowd!
"Boss, I have a plan!"
"Oh, tell me quickly!" Xiang Changan waved at the youth, gesturing for him to come forward and speak.The wretched man quickly walked in front of Xiang Changan and bent down to whisper something into his ear. Then, he raised his head and looked at Xiang Changan in antic.i.p.ation.
Xiang Chang An couldn"t help but kick the man"s leg as he listened. "What kind of wicked method is this!"
The wretched youth"s face was filled with fear. However, before he could kowtow and admit his mistake, Xiang Chang An"s expression changed and he put on a happy smile!
"However, I like this idea. Hahaha, I"ll use your method. What"s your name? I"ve never seen you before, have I?"
Hearing this, the wretched man was immediately excited. He replied in a trembling voice: "Reporting to boss, I am the son of the governor of Dragon Tail County, Chen Yingli!""Good, good, good! From now on, you will be my advisor!" As Xiang Chang An was overjoyed, he directly ordered his dog-head strategist, Chen Yingli, to come over.
When the latter heard this, he was so excited that he almost broke down in tears. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his grat.i.tude!
