"Your Highness, do you have any further advice?"
Hou Junji said angrily that he had just said some polite words, and as the victorious party, Li Xiang should not care about it. This could also show Li Xiang's magnanimity, but Li Xiang mentioned it again, which was a bit disrespectful to Hou Junji.
"The general led his troops to besiege me today. My relationship with the general is over, but they... hehe..."
Li Xiang looked at the guards of the Marquis' Mansion around him. These people were still standing with knives in their hands. After all, Hou Junji did not let them put away their knives.
"Your Highness wants to take them all away?"
Hou Junji said with his eyes narrowed. People who knew him knew that he was extremely angry at the moment. If they said something wrong, this old guy would probably kill someone.
"Broken Sword..."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, more than a dozen guards around him immediately swung their swords and chopped them down. Then everyone heard a clanging sound and even some sparks came out. When everyone looked carefully, they found that the swords of more than a dozen guards under Hou Junji were chopped off.
It's amazing. You know, the swords that Hou Junji equipped his subordinates with were the best, all made by famous masters of the Tang Dynasty. The price of each sword was more than dozens of strings of money, but now it was cut off by a single sword. So what kind of swords did the subordinates of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson use?
"you……"
Hou Junji's hand was already on the hilt of the sword. For a warrior, breaking the weapon was equivalent to losing his life. Although Li Xiang did not kill them today, it was equivalent to taking their second life.
"Don't move."
After seeing this, the remaining guards of Hou Junji were about to take action, but Hou Junji stopped them again.
If we had a 40% chance of winning just now, now we don’t even have a 10% chance.
Can't you see the weapons in his hands?
I don't know how many times more advanced it is than yours. If you stab it, your weapons may be cut off at any time. Then what's the point of fighting? Aren't you just waiting to be slaughtered?
Mission accomplished…
The seed reward is placed into the body space.
After hearing this voice, Li Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was worth the risk he took.
"I will remember today's shame in my heart."
After Hou Junji finished speaking, he turned around without any delay and strode towards his warhorse, while his guards also slowly retreated.
"His Royal Highness Changsun is mighty!"
"Long live Your Highness."
The people present couldn't help it. When Hou Junji turned around, they started cheering for Li Xiang.
Today's situation is really overwhelming. First it was Zatlk, then Hou Junji. Each of them is a big shot in Chang'an City, especially Hou Junji, who is the top bureaucrat.
But they are all useless at this moment, and none of them are a match for our Prince Changsun.
"It is my fault that Li Xiang disturbed you all today. I have something important to attend to, so I will leave first. I will leave a little money for tea, please accept it."
Li Xiang knew very well how to win the hearts of the people. When Li Xiang finished speaking, the guards behind him threw ten strings of money into the sky. The money was not much, but for ordinary people, everyone wanted to get some good luck. Even if they could only grab a penny, it would be enough to brag about for a while.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward..."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Voices of thanks to Li Xiang came one after another. Li Xiang also took advantage of the time when everyone was scrambling for money to quietly retreat with his people. He had made quite a splash today. He hurried back to check the system's rewards. Maybe he would get something better.
"Your Highness..."
On the way home, Li Xiang saw a lot of people gathered in front of a store. Zhao Yunhui was afraid of trouble, so he stood in front of Li Xiang.
"Your Highness, this is the Changsun family's wine shop. I've had someone come check it out. They say that the Tang Dynasty Tianniang will be released today, but it's already sold out. That's why the people who lined up and couldn't buy it are making trouble here!"
Qian Ping is the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace. He keeps an eye on all directions and keeps his ears open when doing things. Since the Crown Prince asked me to follow His Highness, I must be the first to know about anything related to His Highness.
After hearing this, Li Xiang frowned. Changsun Pingting was still lacking in this regard. She had been promoting the wine to Chang'an City for a while, but on the day of the sale, there was no wine to be sold. Wouldn't that ruin her reputation? Even if she had catered to the powerful in Chang'an City, she should have still put some of the wine on public sale.
"Go to our workshop outside the city and bring back another 20 kilograms of wine. Tell them that I'm going to sell these 20 kilograms of wine to the public."
Li Xiang casually wrote a note and asked Li Si to do this. All the people in the workshops outside the city were exchanged by the system. If other people were asked to go, even if they had the note in Li Xiang's hand, those people would probably have to come to confirm again.
In fact, Changsun Pingting was also in a very difficult situation at this moment. Those who got the news were all powerful people in Chang'an City. They were giving two catties of this and two catties of that. If you give this one and not that one, you will probably offend people in the end. So you can only choose to offend small landlords and small bureaucrats. Of course, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. No matter whether it is five taels of silver per catty or seven taels of silver per catty, ordinary people can't afford it.
After writing the note, Li Xiang did not stay here. After all, the sales process was handed over to Changsun Pingting. We can only do some remedial work and cannot become someone else's home.
Finally, they arrived at the East Palace. The second steward of the Changsun family was already standing there. Behind him were two carriages, which were loaded with money. Because there was not so much silver in the Tang Dynasty at that time, most of the money carried in was copper coins.
Everyone in the East Palace was lying at the door watching. It seemed that our eldest son was really capable. I don’t know what he did, but he brought in cartloads of money.
"Tomorrow we will go to the inner city and buy a separate courtyard specifically for storing silver and money."
Li Xiang was still a little unfamiliar with money in this era. This time, he had brought in a total of 600 strings of cash, one string of cash equaling 1,000 copper coins, filling two large carts. If the business expanded in the future, the amount of money would be even greater. Was this the case at the gate of the East Palace every day? If so, it was really a bit too ostentatious.
"Don't worry, Prince. It will be done tomorrow morning."
Qian Ping bowed and said.
"This money?"
Seeing Li Xiang about to go in, Qian Ping had to ask for permission. Tomorrow's goods can be transported to the other courtyard, but for today's two trucks...
"Send it to your father, and it will be considered as a way of honoring him."
Li Xiang thought of Li Chengqian's huge debt. Although he had given him 5,000 strings of cash last time, it was still not enough for him to pay it back.
Li Xiang still didn't know how to deal with Hou Junji's situation. He would use this money as consulting fees. He would have to consult his father later to see how to deal with it...
