The Fourth Prince decisively cut off his wrist and said coldly, "Li Quan, how dare you behave so atrociously in the Sacred City and act so unscrupulously. If the city guards don't execute you today, I will personally chop you into pieces!"
"Men, bring Li Quan to the Snow World's Main God Residence and announce the verdict in front of everyone! I will personally go to the court to report to my father and thoroughly investigate the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue! " The fourth prince was ruthless and smart enough to directly cut off one of his arms. He wanted to make Jue Wuxin and Ye Qinghan surrender. At the very least, it would make Jue Wuxin, a commoner, have a good impression of him.
The sixth prince, seventh prince, and ninth prince were stunned. They didn't expect the fourth prince to even remove the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This was one of his generals.
The Fourth Prince directly ordered people to take Li Quan away, heading straight for the Snow World's Divine Residence. This was a place that specialized in judging officials or the sons of officials. Some of the princes who weren't favored by the Crown Prince would be judged if they broke the law. This place was fair and impartial. If they really broke the law, the Crown Prince would also be crippled and thrown into the Great Purgatory, never to rise again.
"General Zuo, General Jue, please come to the Divine Residence of the Snow World to testify. The Divine Residence will definitely return the Holy City to its former glory!" The fourth prince said righteously.
Ye Qinghan smiled faintly. If he didn't know the Fourth Prince's character well, he would have been fooled by this person's acting. Back then, the Fourth Prince had sent people to kill Xue Wu Hen, and they had chased him all the way here. His viciousness and viciousness were not so righteous.
"Then I thank Your Highness, Fourth Prince, for upholding justice." Ye Qinghan smiled indifferently and cupped his fists.
"The two generals have been humiliated. Tonight, I would like to invite the two heroes to my residence for a meal. I have heard of your heroic deeds for a long time and would like to get to know you. I hope the two of you will give me face and let me treat you to a meal." The fourth prince took the initiative to invite the two of them.
Ye Qinghan was startled. He didn't expect the fourth prince to be so eager to subdue him and Jue Wuxin. However, wouldn't it make Xue Wuhen and Yu Fei suspicious if they went to the fourth prince's residence for their first meal?
"This … Your highness personally invited us. Naturally, we are honored. However, we are very tired from the journey. How about another day?" Ye Qinghan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it so firmly. After all, they had just entered the Holy City and he didn't want to provoke the fourth prince.
"Ah, how can I not feel sorry for the two generals who are tired? I have arranged for a divine brew bath tonight. This is the fastest way to recover from fatigue. As long as the two generals are willing to give me face and still treat me as a prince, please don't refuse," the fourth prince said hurriedly.
The divine brew bath is known as the most luxurious body tempering technique. A night of divine brew bathing is better than a hundred years of hard work. I am ashamed to accept such resources … "Jue Wuxin knew the benefits of the divine brew bath. It could allow an ordinary priest to reach the level of a giant god in just a few days. One could imagine how terrifying the resources used were. If one wasn't a prince who was as rich as a country or the future owner of a financial group, who would have the right to enjoy such a bath?
"The two of you are giants among men and have made great contributions to the Empire. You killed a member of the Hu Po Army in one night. Isn't that a contribution? As the eldest prince who is still alive, shouldn't I invite the two of you to a banquet? Are you looking down on me? "the fourth prince pretended to be angry and said in a low voice.
Jue Wuxin didn't quite understand the fourth prince's thoughts. He thought that the fourth prince was a good prince who recognized heroes and respected heroes. He didn't know how to refuse, nor did he have a reason to.
Ye Qinghan knew that the fourth prince wanted to use this opportunity to show his goodwill! He wanted to win over Jue Wuxin and himself. However, the fourth prince had already said so. If he refused, it would be tantamount to falling out with him. The Holy City was so big, and basically everyone was on the side of the four princes. Offending them was tantamount to death.
"Then we shall accept. Thank you for your hospitality, fourth prince. The two of us will definitely keep the appointment." Ye Qinghan bowed slightly and agreed.
Seeing that Ye Qinghan had agreed, Jue Wuxin naturally couldn't refuse, so he agreed to keep the appointment tonight.
After all, the other three princes were still a bit younger, so the fourth prince beat them to it. The sixth prince quickly followed up and said, "Since the two of you have accepted fourth brother's invitation, you can't refuse this prince's invitation. Tomorrow, I will hold a welcoming dinner for the two of you at the Holy City's Fragrance Pavilion. We won't leave until we meet!"
The seventh prince was about to make the appointment tonight, when Ye Qinghan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Imperial Concubine Yu has already decided to hold a welcoming dinner for us tomorrow night. Furthermore, we have already agreed. I hope that the princes won't make things difficult for us."
"Then the day after tomorrow, I hope that the two of you will give us face!" the seventh prince immediately said.
"Since my three brothers have already decided, as the ninth prince, I can only step back. When the two of you are free, I will personally pay you a visit and apologize. This prince feels very guilty today! If I can't offer a humble apology, this prince will feel uneasy. "The ninth prince bowed slightly and said in a low voice.
All the princes had a courteous attitude, so Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin had no reason to refuse. They could only smile bitterly.
The two of them were escorted to the imperial prison but were respectfully escorted away by the four princes. This immediately caused a huge uproar in the Holy City.
The fourth prince rewarded the old man with some resources and made appropriate arrangements. He repeatedly promised that no one would dare to seek revenge on him before leaving with peace of mind.
Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin led the ten chiliarchs out of the prison and followed the guards to Xue Wuhen's residence.
In the palace, Imperial Concubine Yu was shocked when she learned that the four princes had invited Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin. The four of them were the strongest candidates for the crown prince position. If not for Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin's protection, Xue Wuhen wouldn't even have a chance to compete for the crown prince position!
"Men, prepare the carriage and leave the palace. Let's go to my son's residence!" Imperial Concubine Yu was anxious. She couldn't let the fourth prince take away these two people. Otherwise, Xue Wuhen would die miserably. Participating in the battle for the crown prince position meant either success or death!
Soon, Imperial Concubine Yu led a group of palace maids and guards to Xue Wuhen's residence.
Ye Qinghan, Jue Wuxin, and the ten chiliarchs had just arrived at the residence. Imperial Concubine Yu hurried to the residence and found Ye Qinghan.
"Left General, did you agree to the fourth prince's banquet?" Imperial Concubine Yu's face was full of grief.
Uh …
Ye Qinghan didn't expect Imperial Concubine Yu to get the news so quickly. It seemed that those who were favored in the palace weren't easy to deal with.
"Imperial Concubine Yu, don't think too much. The fourth prince has already said so much. If I still don't agree, it will only bring trouble to his highness. Therefore, I have no choice but to agree." Ye Qinghan smiled bitterly.
Imperial Concubine Yu sat on the chair dispiritedly. Her hands and feet were cold. She knew the fourth prince's ability to win people over. As long as he chose, no one could escape from his grasp. They either had to submit or die! She and Xue Wuhen were just widows and orphans. They couldn't be compared to the fourth prince.
"What can I use to attract him and the military saints?" Imperial Concubine Yu was very anxious. She had to reassure Ye Qinghan. Otherwise, they would lose the battle before it even started.
