What Zeng Hongshen did for more than thirty years was not a secret, so the King of Qi also knew that he was the former leader of the rebel army.
According to records, at that time, when the imperial court was enshrined in a one-on-one situation, there was almost no opponent for this crippled old man.
The lifespan of a great innate master is about three hundred years, and only in the few years before his final time is approaching, the energy and blood in his body will deplete at an extremely fast rate.
Before that, they will be at a peak state and can continue to improve.
Now after more than thirty years, Zeng Hongshen's strength will inevitably rise again.
But this has little to do with Zhao Xiangqi.
People die for money and birds die for food. With the wealth of his two uncles, he can still afford to hire a strong man from the second realm no matter how high the price is.
And with the scale of their business, due to various factors, they also need to hire strong people from the second realm to take charge.
However, these hired second-level warriors either sit in some important shops or follow certain caravans to transport important goods. They are rarely used as someone's personal bodyguards alone.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
Even in Zhao Xiangqi's house, there is no second-level powerhouse in charge.
It's not that the two marquis uncles, who are royal relatives, are reluctant to part with their only nephew. They can say they want to pamper him as much as they want.
The reason why there isn't is that it's just unnecessary.
The eighth son of the current emperor, the eighth prince of Dali, who is so stupid that he dares to assassinate him in the capital city?
And without the emperor's will, he had no way to leave the capital.
Therefore, even though Prince Qi's Mansion is better than Prince Yu's Mansion before, the bodyguards in the Mansion are mainly martial arts cultivators from the future, with a few ordinary people with good strength occasionally.
And before the number reaches a certain scale, even if there are many acquired martial arts practitioners, it is almost impossible to be an opponent of one innate grandmaster.
Therefore, whether Zeng Hongshen is an ordinary innate powerhouse or one of the best, Zhao Xiangqi's concept is the same.
With the strength of the guards in his house, they cannot defeat or stop him.
…
"If something happens to His Highness, you will have nothing to do with it. Come on."
Outside the room, the butler's voice sounded again.
Obviously, because he didn't hear King Qi's answer for a long time, he thought something had happened to His Highness.
In his own house, something happened to his prince, and they, the servants, would not be able to escape the involvement no matter what. Therefore, even though the housekeeper knew that the intruder standing at the door was very powerful, he was ready to fight.
"etc."
Since Zhao Xiangqi recognized Zeng Hongshen's identity, how could he let the guards in the house humiliate themselves again?
After they were beaten, it was he, the master of the palace, who lost his face.
"My king is fine, please retreat first!"
Zhao Xiangqi quickly calmed down, put on a majestic look, walked out of the room and said.
"yes."
Seeing that King Qi had not been seriously injured, the housekeeper and the guards in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. However, before Ziah stepped back, the housekeeper said with some worry: "It's just that, Your Highness..."
While hesitating, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Zeng Hongshen beside him.
"Ahem..."
Zhao Xiangqi coughed twice and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Zeng, the chief steward of my fifth brother's house."
After a pause, he emphasized: "An innate great master!"
Wow...
Everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar.
No wonder just now, the old man just waved his hand gently, and they were forced to get out of the way without any resistance. It turned out to be such an expert in the innate realm.
This is what the guard is thinking.
Although the housekeeper was also surprised by the true cultivation of the person who just broke in, he was thinking in his heart that he was really the person of His Royal Highness Prince Yu. He had told him earlier!
If I had told them earlier, they wouldn't have to be so nervous.
When entering the mansion, although Zeng Hongshen was holding a token representing King Yu's identity, after he ignored the advice and forced his way into the backyard and chose to take action after being stopped, they regarded him as the person he just did.
The block token was stolen from somewhere.
If Zeng Hongshen hadn't been too fast, they would have sent people out to ask for help.
This capital is the capital of Dali. As long as the news spreads, real masters will come to the house within a few moments.
When the time comes, no matter how powerful the people who create trouble in the palace are, they will eventually be completely suppressed by the power of the Dali court in broad daylight.
And now, since His Highness King Qi has personally come forward to say that this was a misunderstanding, the subsequent actions are naturally unnecessary.
King Yu and King Qi are half-brothers, and they are very close to each other. They don't have the right to express their opinions as servants as they like to play with each other.
…
After the confrontation ended, the butler and guards retreated one after another.
It was only then that Zeng Hongshen slightly raised his hands to Zhao Xiangqi and said: "The way I asked His Highness to get up just now was ordered by His Highness King Yu himself. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"
"Sir, don't worry, I know this clearly."
King Qi waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he would not take it to heart and would not offend others because of it.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After thanking him, Zeng Hongshen continued: "In that case, I would like to ask Your Highness to clean up quickly. After eating, you will return to Prince Yu's Mansion with me."
"From now on, I will be responsible for the training of His Highness."
"ah?"
Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a consultative tone: "Mr. Zeng, you see it's already too late. Since it's already late, why don't we just give up today?"
He was not stupid enough to say that he would stop practicing in the future, but asked tentatively: "It's not bad for this day, how about we see tomorrow?"
“If you don’t accumulate small steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles!”
Zeng Hongshen decisively refused: "Since His Highness has promised my prince, please keep your promise!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiangqi looked bitter.
Is that what he wants to say yes to?
If he could refuse, he would have refused, and nothing like this morning would have happened.
He just likes to lie down and eat a little more, provoking whoever he wants.
It's a pity that the wailing in his heart has not reached the point where it can distort the world.
Before Zhao Xiangqi could think of any more excuses, Zeng Hongshen continued: "Before coming, the prince has already said that if His Highness refuses, I can be allowed to use some special means."
"Wha...what means?"
Zhao Xiangqi's eyelids twitched. Thinking of the place where he was in pain just now, he felt something bad in his heart.
