Chapter 303: Chapter 221 Jun Wu_3

Having walked some distance away, a few attendants caught up and disappeared along with that graceful silhouette of Li Junwu at the entrance of Cloud Sky Palace....

...

...

Due to the recent commotion, the guests in the large hall all prudently left.

It was very quiet around, with only a few musicians who were forced to stay continuing to play.

Cloud Sky Palace was pretty much reserved by Xu Yuan.

Sitting on the collapsed couch and drinking by himself, Xu Yuan downed one cup after another, his mood inexplicably somewhat melancholic.

The imperial faction....

As the head of the Imperial Guards, Wang Chengping’s father was naturally part of the imperial faction, which at any moment could trigger a coup if it came under the control of his father, Xu Yinhè.

And the Deputy Minister was an important official the Emperor relied on to balance his father in the court.

If there were to be a face-off against the Imperial Family, then at that time...

Thinking about this, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered the words that old aunt Lou Ji told him.

"There are things you may not want to do, Changtian, but you must do them. Your father and Li Yaoxuan practically killed off all of their friends back in their day."

A sigh.

"Ah....."

Xu Yuan, having put down his wine cup and rested for a bit, was about to settle the bill and return home when he saw an old acquaintance walk through the door.

The Third Prince, seeing the deserted Cloud Sky Palace, was stunned for a moment and then started to twitch uncontrollably at the corner of his eyes as he spotted Xu Yuan sitting alone in the elegant seat.

Damn it.

Is this plague never going to end?

He opens a Hook Bar, and this bastard comes to tear it down?!

Raising his hand to signal the complaining madam to shut up, the Third Prince took a deep breath to soothe his curse–ridden heart and walked slowly toward Xu Yuan. He sat down next to him very familiarly and laughed, "Xu the Third Young Master, who’s the blind fool that pissed you off?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and took out two one-thousand taels silver notes from the Sumeru Ring, placing them on the wine table in front of him:

"Not at all, this is Your Highness’s property? Just now there was a minor disturbance with a friend and it was misunderstood."

Seeing the silver notes, the Third Prince, all smiles, said:

"Xu the Third Young Master is too polite, there’s no need for you to compensate."

While speaking, he reached for the silver notes.

"So generous, Your Highness."

Xu Yuan promptly took back the silver notes.

"......" Li Yunqing.

Xu Yuan glanced at him with a hint of amusement, then turned his gaze to the two people behind Li Yunqing.

One was naturally Eunuch Hou.

The other, however, was somewhat unexpected.

It was the Eastern-Japanese assassin Chu Jingyi from before, dressed in sleek black attire similar to Ying’er’s, but the style leaned more towards the Japanese.

Seeing where Xu Yuan’s gaze landed, the Third Prince, unconcerned about the loss of the two thousand taels, cheerfully said:

"A slave girl I’ve recently taken in, from Eastern-Japan."

Xu Yuan, with interest, asked, "From Eastern-Japan? Where did the Third Prince find her?"

Li Yunqing, beaming, answered:

"Caught her with a friend who shared adversities with me. It took a month to properly train her."

"Caught her?" Xu Yuan’s eyes appropriately showed a trace of confusion.

Li Yunqing continued with a smile:

"A so-called ’Daimyo’ from their side wanted to buy military arms from me, as if I would ever sell arms to those Japanese pirates, and this woman was sent to collect the debt."

"Is that so."

Xu Yuan nodded and kindly reminded him, "Then His Highness must be careful – if there’s a first, there will be a second, with the Northern Frontier perhaps being unstable."

Li Yunqing laughed off the concern, "Those Japanese rogues don’t have the leisure to attempt another assassination on this prince."

"How so?" Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Li Yunqing glanced at Chu Jingyi behind him with keen interest and explained:

"This woman says, it seems their homeland has been invaded by a bunch of golden-haired ghosts coming from the sea."
