Chapter 19: Tokyo, Bianhe

Tokyo, Bianhe.

A small boat slowly pulled over.

Looking around with a face full of impatience, Chai Wenyi, the son of the Little Prince of Shang, said with a face full of disgust, "You said that person is the one who made an appointment to meet me here?"

"That's right, Your Highness!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with fear, the butler beside him hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, I want to see what plans he has. If he wants to deceive me, then watch how I deal with him!"

Walking angrily into the small boat, Chai Wenyi couldn't help but become violent.

But just as Chai Wenyi had entered the small boat, Niu Er beside him had already started rowing the oars.

Watching the small boat drift away leisurely, the butler was left frozen on the spot because he hadn't boarded the boat yet.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I haven't boarded the boat yet! Your Highness, you've left, what will this old servant do!"

Shouting loudly and running wildly forward, the butler was now breaking out in cold sweat.

Because if anything happened to the Prince, he would lose his life!

"Stop chasing, come over and eat something, he'll be back in a while!"

Just as the butler was looking at the Bianhe, intending to jump in, a voice came from the road beside him.

Turning his head, the butler saw a copper hot pot on a table emitting a strong fragrance.

Swallowing his saliva, the butler looked behind him, and finally walked toward the small table with a firm expression.

"This brother, how should I address you!"

Looking at the butler before him, Situ Yaozu asked.

"I am the Prince's butler, Chai Wu!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu seriously, Chai Wu said, "When will my Prince return?"

"Rest assured, once the matter is discussed, your Prince will return!"

Handing over a bottle of vodka, Situ Yaozu said, "Come, have a couple of drinks! Eating mutton without drinking, how can that work!"

Smelling the copper pot, Chai Wu's face was full of covetousness as he said, "This is really fragrant, even better than our Little Prince of Shang's mansion!"

"That's of course. My cousin said that in the whole world, you can't find ingredients like these!"

Pointing to the things on the table, Situ Yaozu introduced them.

And just after Chai Wu finished listening, the whole person couldn't help but say in surprise, "Then your cousin, looking for my Prince, could it be that he wants to do restaurant business?"

"No, what he's doing is human trafficking!"

Looking at Chai Wu with a full face of smiles, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

If it were when they had just arrived in Bianliang and Zhang Cheng said he wanted to do "human trafficking," Situ Yaozu definitely wouldn't have agreed.

But after participating in the martial arts examination and seeing the darkness behind the prosperity, Situ Yaozu felt that "Are kings and nobles born with high status?" was a question!

Situ Yaozu: Are kings and nobles born with high status?

"What? Human trafficking?"

Looking at Situ Yaozu in astonishment, Chai Wu was completely dumbfounded.

Because you prepared so many delicacies I've never seen before, and you're telling him human trafficking!

This is equivalent to walking into a restaurant, only to find out it's a foot bath place; isn't that absurd?

On the light, drifting small boat.

Chai Wenyi was sitting honestly in front of the table, his face full of embarrassment as he said, "Brother, this is our first meeting, is it necessary to be like this?"

"It is precisely because it's our first meeting that I treat the Prince with such courtesy!"

Facing Chai Wenyi, Zhang Cheng lit the cigar he was holding and handed it out.

Looking at the cigar in his hand, Chai Wenyi couldn't help but turn his head and say, "What is this?"

"A cigar, symbolizing the 'friendship' of partners!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng explained.

But after listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Chai Wenyi said embarrassedly, "Talking about cooperation is fine, but can you let him put down the sword first?"

"Alright, Bai Yutang, don't threaten my Prince! He's timid and can't handle being scared!"

Speaking with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Bai Yutang put away the Juque Sword with a face full of frost and left.

Seeing Bai Yutang gone, Chai Wenyi couldn't help but slap the table and shout angrily, "You have a lot of nerve, actually daring to threaten this Prince. Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I know, the Little Prince of Shang, Chai Wenyi!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi calmly, Zhang Cheng put the cigar in his mouth.

"Puff!"

As thick fog was exhaled from his mouth, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but savor it and said, "Since I've asked you to do things, do you think I wouldn't have any precautions?"

Mimicking Zhang Cheng's actions, Chai Wenyi smoked the cigar, light appearing in his eyes as he said, "Eh, this thing is not bad!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with twitching corners of his mouth, Zhang Cheng was speechless at this moment.

Because can't this guy act a bit smarter? He's acting just like a playboy!

Zhang Cheng: Wait, this guy seems to be a playboy, right?

"Hmm, I quite like this thing. As long as you tell me the way in the future, this Prince can spare your life!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, greed appeared in Chai Wenyi's eyes.

"This is called a cigar, produced overseas. Only my people can get it!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi, Zhang Cheng handed over a piece of paper and said, "There is a contract on this. You sign it, and I'll give you forty percent of the profits! In the future, there will be many treasures not found in the Great Song offered up!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"Forty percent, that won't do. This Prince was just threatened by your people with a sword, and just based on the name Chai Wenyi, you have to give at least seventy percent!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Chai Wenyi couldn't help but examine the things on the table, hurriedly becoming serious.

Looking at Chai Wenyi, Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin.

Because this Prince doesn't seem like a fool at all!

"That Juque Sword, it belongs to Zhan Zhao, right? You have a good relationship with Kaifeng Prefecture!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Chai Wenyi laughed.

Looking at Chai Wenyi, Zhang Cheng felt he had underestimated the ancients a bit.

After all, even if Chai Wenyi was useless, he was still the Little Prince of Shang; how could he be an idiot?

"That's right, I do have a good relationship with Kaifeng Prefecture, and that sword is also a token!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng didn't say too much.

Because for some things, saying too much is just covering up; it's better to let people guess for themselves!

Zhan Zhao: Wait, I've become a shield?

"What do you want to talk to this Prince about? A show of force won't work, you know. After all, in the Great Song, no one dares to kill me!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Chai Wenyi smiled.

"Killing you is indeed impossible, but poisoning is hard to say!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng supported his chin, staring at him with a face full of teasing.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Eating chocolate beans in his mouth, Chai Wenyi was frozen on the spot the next second.

"What you ate is the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Gu. Once this thing enters the brain... it will turn into a worm. Once there is no antidote, you will die in madness..."

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng introduced the dangers of the "Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Gu" to Chai Wenyi.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a speechless face, Chai Wenyi picked his nose and said, "Anything else?"

"You're not afraid?"

Looking at Chai Wenyi curiously, Zhang Cheng asked with some surprise.

"If you want to kill me, why bother with these?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng calmly, Chai Wenyi examined him and said, "I remember now, you're the unlucky Imperial Son-in-law who is going to marry the Princess recently, right?"

Looking at Chai Wenyi with twitching corners of his mouth, Zhang Cheng really wanted to call Bai Yutang from outside the door, but after thinking about it, he held back!

After all, if Bai Yutang really came in, Chai Wenyi would be gone!

"What do you want to do by borrowing the Chai family's reputation? Why don't we be a bit more frank?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Chai Wenyi felt that this person was different from those who "curried favor," because in this person's eyes, there was something called ambition!

"Do a little business, earn a little money, and by the way, climb to the imperial court!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi, Zhang Cheng also laughed.

"So, you want to borrow the Chai family's power!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Chai Wenyi pondered for a long time, then narrowed his eyes and said, "You're quite interesting!"
