Chapter 666: Below the Grandmaster, he is the king

According to the Marquis, there were no Grandmasters in Jinzhou City; this matter was one hundred percent certain.

Below the Grandmaster, he is the king!

If he encounters a Grandmaster, he runs!

So, Chen Guanlou boldly entered Jinzhou City in the middle of the night to visit Prince Cheng's Mansion.

According to the topographic map, walking directly along the central axis, the main hall located in the second courtyard was Prince Cheng's bedroom where he rested on weekdays.

The lanterns around the bedroom had already been extinguished, with only a few lights still on in the courtyard.

People were vaguely walking inside the house.

Not sleeping in the middle of the night—either their spirit was too good, or they were worrying.

He simply entered the bedroom; oh my, it was incredible, what did he see? He saw a body double!

Prince Cheng was preparing a body double.

Clearly, he had many dissatisfactions with the body double.

The body double was passable in appearance, but his words and actions clearly showed they were two different people.

Prince Cheng output a round of punches and kicks at the attending eunuch, "Get out, get out, all get out. If there's no improvement next time, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

The body double and the eunuch trembled, bowing and retreating from the main hall.

Prince Cheng was angry, called the eunuch, and wanted to go to the backyard to favor his concubine to vent his anger.

The eunuch had just taken a step when he fell unconscious for no reason.

Prince Cheng opened his mouth to curse, but found he couldn't move and couldn't make a sound. Instantly, terror overflowed from his eyes; he was almost scared to death.

Chen Guanlou appeared decisively, brought the words to Prince Cheng, and then asked: "Do you understand?"

Prince Cheng's eyeballs rolled around wildly.

Chen Guanlou snapped his fingers casually, and Prince Cheng found he could speak.

"What great courage! How dare the Marquis of Pingjiang humiliate this Prince like this. Who are you? Hurry up and release this Prince; this Prince will spare your life."

"The Marquis of Pingjiang said you think too highly of yourself; at first I didn't believe it. Now it seems his evaluation is very accurate. Now you are the fish, and I am the knife; you are shouting at me, you are really not afraid of death!"

"Even if I gave you ten guts, you wouldn't dare to kill this Prince." Prince Cheng was very certain, "Go back and tell the Marquis of Pingjiang that this Prince's affairs are not for him to comment on."

"I wouldn't dare to kill you, but I can make you worse than dead. For example, making you fall into a deep coma, no matter what, you can't be woken up—that I can do."

"You, you, you, don't you dare mess around!" Prince Cheng only knew fear now.

Chen Guanlou smiled at him, "The Marquis of Pingjiang asked me to remind you repeatedly that in the eyes of the imperial court, you are just a fart; don't think of yourself as too important. Your father couldn't do it, and you don't even have thirty percent of your father's ability; what are you being so arrogant for. Be honest, be a peaceful Prince and enjoy it until you die, which fits your status and expectations. If you keep jumping around, don't wait for the Brocade Uniform Guard to make arrests; the Marquis of Pingjiang will destroy you first."

"What right does he have! What kind of thing is the Marquis of Pingjiang, a cripple, and he dares to manage this Prince's affairs. How much money did he give you? To be able to hire someone as capable as you to work for him, he has some ability. Why don't you work for this Prince; this Prince will give you ten times the price."

"Sorry, I don't sell my life!"

Chen Guanlou laughed and ate the snacks.

The snacks in the Prince's Mansion were delicious; the cook's craftsmanship was comparable to the imperial chef. Not inferior to the Marquis's Mansion's cook, even slightly better.

And drank some wine.

Oh my, the Prince's Mansion is deep.

The wine clearly contained something that shouldn't be there; the portion was very small and not fatal. But if taken long-term, hahaha...

Chen Guanlou turned his head and observed Prince Cheng's breath carefully; he was not old, but his internal energy was insufficient, and his lungs were damaged.

Tsk!

"What kind of price can move you, you just open the price. This Prince can afford it!"

Prince Cheng had a wealthy and imposing appearance.

Chen Guanlou smiled, "You are so rich, why don't we do this: what do you think your life is worth? As long as you give enough price, I will give you a chance to live."

"What do you mean?" Prince Cheng's eyeballs rolled around, starting to imagine all sorts of things.

"Just say the price! Open any price, anyway I don't mind."

"What are you trying to do?"

Chen Guanlou was very disgusted and pouted, "Forget it if you don't say it. Have a good sleep, I'm leaving."

"Don't go. Is ten thousand taels okay?" Prince Cheng was a bit anxious, having a premonition in his heart that he couldn't miss it, and if he missed it, he would definitely regret it. So he opened a price casually.

"Only ten thousand taels! Forget it, forget it. Give the money!"

Prince Cheng was bewildered; how could he give the money.

Since he was a child, he didn't carry money on him.

Strictly speaking, he hadn't seen what money looked like a few times. Because he didn't need it.

"If you don't have money, you can use things to offset it." Chen Guanlou came up with an idea.

Prince Cheng's eyeballs blinked toward his left hand, "The drawer on the treasure cabinet, the key is in the bedside drawer, there are a few valuable things inside, you can take them at will. Can you tell me now?"

Chen Guanlou took the key; he wasn't afraid of Prince Cheng plotting against him at all, and opened the drawer on the treasure cabinet. Sure enough, there were huge treasures, all kinds of jade and gemstones, dazzling.

He picked a few at random, evaluated them, and they were worth about twenty or thirty thousand.

"Considering that things are difficult to cash out and can only be used as heirlooms. I took a few more. This is not greed, this is reasonable discounting. Understand? You drink this kind of wine often, right? It's poisonous!"

Prince Cheng hadn't had time to be shocked when he heard the other party continue: "The poison each time is not much, not enough to be fatal. But drinking this kind of poisonous wine year after year, the toxins accumulate in the body, and your lungs have already been damaged. Even if you are successfully detoxified later, your lifespan won't be made up, and you are destined not to live long. This poison is very cleverly placed; ordinary doctors can't check it at all, only thinking it is a pot of nectar. If you think I'm talking nonsense, why don't you use chickens and ducks to test the poison; I believe there will be a surprise. Alright, the words have been brought, the money has been taken, and the matter has been said, goodbye!"

"Wait..."

Where was anyone!

With a *whoosh*, the person was gone. How he left, Prince Cheng was bewildered.

Immediately after, he found he could move.

But the eunuch was still unconscious. He kicked him hard and picked up the wine pot, wanting to smash it!

Instantly he calmed down again. Gritting his teeth, he called the attending servant and gave instructions.

Chen Guanlou actually didn't leave; he stayed in the Prince's Mansion that night. He found a side hall at random, moved in, and no one ever discovered him. Early in the morning, he even went to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion to visit; the women in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion had high overall appearance, truly knowing how to enjoy.

Ran to the kitchen to get breakfast and ate until full, before setting off for the military camp.

Entered silently and met the Marquis in the main camp.

The Marquis clearly dismissed the left and right in advance, waiting for him specifically.

Seeing him arrive, he didn't ask how things went last night, just pushed the wooden box in front of him, "Take these back and hand them to the Crown Prince, tell him, it's in the south, not in the north."

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow, "Anything else? The Northwest is too dry; I've been a bit inflamed these few days. I still prefer the climate of the capital."

The implication was that for a very long time in the future, he wouldn't step into the Northwest again. If there was anything he needed help with, explain it all at once, don't hesitate. ===== CHAPTER 667 =====
