The Hongmen Banquet was a story Ling Qing had told him before. Ling Chen liked it very much, so he had a deep impression of it.

"This subject has Xun Qing's identity?" Why did Flower Speaker feel that Ling Xiang was making things difficult for him?

He had accepted so many difficult missions as soon as he came out. This was Tyrant wanting to cripple his rhythm!

"Didn't you say that you wanted Xun Qing to do a few things to improve his good impression? Don't miss such a good opportunity. " Ling Xuanxin glanced at him. "By the way, let the Empress dispel her suspicions and kill many birds with one stone."

"But this... "It's too fast …" Flower Speaker realized that she was too naive. How could Ling Jin possibly want to cripple him? She was obviously trying to kill him!

"The flower marquis is resourceful, he must have a good plan." Ling Jin's face was cold, but his voice carried a trace of gentleness as he spoke.

"The Empress has returned." Flower Speaker suddenly pricked up her ears and heard the sound of distant footsteps.

Ling Xuanxin did not speak again.

Ling Qing had returned.

Behind him was another scholar.

Ye Cheng followed without a word this time, but he did not go upstairs with them.

Just as Ling Qing was about to go to the banquet, he met a familiar face — Ling Yuehuang!

When she met Ling Jin on her southern tour, she had asserted that if this scholar were to take the test, he would definitely be in third place in senior high school.

And now, he had really come to the capital to undergo the test!

However, this foolish Elementary Scholar did not recognize Ling Tian.

After a year, even though Ling Tian Qing had consumed the Scarlet Beauty Pellet, his temperament had undergone an earth-shattering change. Furthermore, with his disguise, Ling Yuehuang would never have imagined that the young noble, who dressed as a man, was the one who bought him a few lines of poetry.

Even now, those two sentences were still cherished at home – Don't worry about not knowing each other before, who in the world didn't know who was king.

He believed that one day, he would become famous and the world would know about him.

Unfortunately … The Elementary Scholar was still so poor.

They had finally made it to the imperial capital, but the capital was already packed with students who wanted to watch the Courtesan Belle selection. The poor Elementary Scholar had nowhere to stay, so he decided to stay in the woodshed for a month until the exam was over.

It was the end of winter and the night was very cold. If this Elementary Scholar were to lose control of his body during the exam, then all his years of hard work would be wasted …

How could Ling Tian Qing let the future prime minister miss out on such a good opportunity?

He made Ling Tian draw a picture for himself every day and write a few words. When the top scholar of the Royal Board is announced, she can take out these paintings and sell them at a high price …

Hearing the footsteps outside, a trace of jealousy appeared in Ling Chen's eyes.

He actually brought another man upstairs!

Could she make it?

And from the sound of footsteps, it was a young, gentle, and weak man.

If this pavilion became her harem, then all sorts of handsome men could be found within it, allowing her to enjoy herself …

Thinking of this, Ling Zui subconsciously pinched his fingers.

Ye Cheng, who was standing downstairs, suddenly looked at the fatty's room with a sharp gaze. The treasured sword had already silently slipped two inches away from his body.

Xun Qing pushed open the door and looked at Ling Tian Qing like he was a wooden stake. He mumbled, "Xiao Yu, I'm so bored. Let's go out for a walk."

"I'm very busy today, let Little Four take you to travel to the capital." Ling Tian gave Xun Qing a slight smile. From the outside, he could not find anything wrong with Xun Qing.

Seeing that it was Xun Qing, Ye Cheng silently sheathed his sword.

It was because he was too sensitive and felt that Zhang Yushui would secretly harm Ling Tian.

"Little Yellow, over here." "There's really no place to stay outside. Just stay here and don't go anywhere in the evening, because there are a lot of unmarried embroidery ladies staying here. Un, unless you have a crush on someone who's planning to get married …"

The Flower Speaker was being disregarded so much that he could not feel the "harassment" mentioned by Ling Zui.

He really wanted to tear off his own clothes and stretch out his white thighs towards Ling Qing, coquettishly saying: Come and harass me!

But he didn't dare!

The real Yama was watching the house.

"Thank you, benefactor." Ling Yuehuang looked at the delicate and charming young man in front of him and bowed deeply.

His ancestors must have burnt incense and met such a good young master.

"Don't mention it, if there's anything you need, just find the second in charge here. She usually manages the chores." Ling Tian Qing then turned around and left with a smile on his face.

Xun Qing stood at the side of the corridor. Upon seeing Ling Tian coming out, he hurriedly followed him. "Xiao Yu, where are you going? Bring me along?"

"Ah …" "Oh right, I didn't touch your waist last night, did I?" Ling Tian Qing stopped and asked.

Earlier, Little Four had said that Fat Grandpa had gone to the fishing boat by the river to drink, and Ling Tian would find him later to ask around.

He would first touch it before saying anything else.

Flower Speaker's face stiffened as she thought to herself, This is bad.

The Little Demoness had been cold just now, why did she suddenly bring up this matter?

How would he deal with this?

To be touched, Ling Jin would definitely blow him up.

Not letting him touch her, Ling Lingxiu told him that she was going to make a "move" last night …

"You also said that you can touch anywhere you want." Seeing Xun Qing standing at the side blankly without uttering a word, Ling Tian Qing added.

"Ugh …" Flower Speaker wanted to cry.

Could he stop playing?

"You don't want me to touch it again?" Ling Tian on the other hand, was quite natural. Seeing Xun Qing's embarrassed expression, he sighed and said, "I'm leaving."

After she finished speaking, she really did not touch him anymore, nor did she stay any longer. She just left as soon as she said she would. She directly went downstairs and left together with Ye Cheng.

The flower fox was left to flit around in the wind.

Indeed, it was true that Ling Xuanxuan had said that the little queen had become difficult to deal with … It's hard to do...

Because he couldn't figure out her thoughts at all!

Zhang Yuquan was waiting for him at a Zhang courtyard.

This was the place that the late emperor bestowed to Zhang Yiyuan in the past, and it had a few small courtyards. Usually, the Zhang family would live in the old Zhang Mansion, so they rarely came here.

Zhang Yuquan did not want to deal with this in a place with too many eyes.

"Zhang Yuquan has done the absolute preparations. Young Master, are you prepared to attend the gathering alone?" When they were almost to the courtyard, Ye Cheng finally opened his mouth and spoke.

"You're not human?" Ling Tian Qing asked.

"…" What she said made sense. Ye Cheng was actually at a loss for words.

"Your sword is fast. There's nothing to worry about." Seeing his habitual silence, Ling Tian burst into laughter.

"Although my sword is fast, if he were to hire someone powerful …"

"Didn't you say you never lost a fight?" Ling Tianqing interrupted Ye Cheng with a smile, "I will not let you lose."

"…" Since this young master was so confident, Ye Cheng had nothing else to say.

He had never lost before, but that did not mean that the people standing beside him would not lose …

"The back of the mountain, the running of the water, the land of the Three Yin, the land of water that did not return, this land that the late emperor bestowed upon me, my Feng Shui sure is lacking." Ling Tian Qing said as he looked at the house hidden in the tall tree from afar.

It was a good thing that this place was remote and there were almost no pedestrians. No one paid any attention to Ling Qing's disrespectful words.

As for Ye Cheng, he did not have any reaction. He slowly led his horse into the forest.

"My family's young master has been waiting for you for a long time." A butler came from afar with two bookkeepers, greeting them with a smile.

Zhang Yuquan had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw the calm and collected young master from yesterday bringing only Ye Cheng in, he sneered in his heart. What arrogance!

Did she treat this place as a gambling den?

"Young Master Zhang, sorry for the wait." The moment Ling Tian walked into the house, he saw that the table was filled with delicacies, but he knew that they were definitely not for him to eat.

Ye Cheng wordlessly stepped forward and placed a greeting gift on the table.

"You're the one who's being polite, what gift are you bringing?" Zhang Yuquan sat in the seat of honor and said without moving.

"I'm not used to visiting empty-handed." Seeing that Zhang Yuquan did not touch the gift, Ling Qing smiled as he looked at Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng took out the contract from his bosom and held it up in the air.

"Sir, who exactly are you?" Zhang Yuquan did not invite them to sit, nor did he serve them tea. He remained seated on his chair as he asked.

"A businessman." Ling Qing then looked at Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng wordlessly threw the contract in front of Zhang Yuquan.

Zhang Yuquan took the contract and laughed, "Businessman... "We should know that one third of the capital's business belongs to our Zhang Clan. It is not beneficial for us to go against our Zhang Clan."

As he spoke, he tore apart the contract.

"If you know what's good for you, you can sell that gambling house to me. Let's forget about yesterday's matter." Zhang Yuquan hooked his fingers and the butler brought out a box filled with gold and silver, "This three hundred thousand taels of gold belongs to you, then the casino …"

"This is the official's gold. I'm just a commoner, how can I take it away?" Ling Qing only took a glance at the gold in the box before smiling. This Jade Spring thought of her as a big spender and wanted her to launder the money.

The gold of the government offices would be marked at the bottom with the official's insignia and would enter the national treasury. Ordinary citizens would not be able to touch the things belonging to the officials' family.

And this three hundred thousand taels of gold was bribed by the officials during the reign of Zhang Yiyuan.

Zhang Yi was very cautious, he did not dare to use too much of his official silver. All these years, he had secretly melted a lot of it, and there was still a lot left over, which was brought over by Zhang Yuquan.

"Who exactly are you?" Zhang Yuquan did not expect her to recognize the official's silver at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this young master was actually the son of an official?

He had wanted to use government money to kill this reckless brat, but he didn't have to do it himself. As long as she carried him out, he would immediately go to jail and wait for his death. He wouldn't even have the chance to turn the tables.

However, she wasn't moved. Her calmness and sharpness made him worry.

"It seems that Young Master Zhang is not ready to pay his debt." Ling Tian then sighed, "Fortunately, I made a copy of the contract and sent it to the Zhang Residence."

Copy?

What the hell was that?

Zhang Yuquan looked at the contract that had been torn into pieces, and immediately turned to the butler and yelled, "Return to the Zhang Mansion quickly!"

"It's too late to return now. I assume your father has already paid the full amount." Ling Tian Qing smiled and said, "I am just here to inform you, thank you so much. Goodbye."

Her presence here had diverted Zhang Yushui's attention away, so he had no idea that she had already sent someone to the Zhang Mansion to collect the debt.

Zhang Yuquan only felt blood energy attacking his heart; he had been played by this young man!

No wonder she was smiling as she gave him a greeting gift …

"Someone, come!" Zhang Yuquan saw that she was about to leave and shouted angrily.

When had he ever been toyed with like this!

Only by killing her would he be able to vent the hatred in his heart.
