The man paused, turned slowly, and looked at Chu Yi, with a purple look in his eyes.

Chu Yi snorted coldly: "Don't want to use illusions on me. If I dare to come to you, I will have my own way to deal with you."

The man's eyebrows moved slightly, and the purple in his eyes disappeared instantly. He looked at him and said, "What are you going to ask me to do? I won't do anything about killing and setting fire."

Chu Yi sneered: "Wouldn't it be useless to do talent like a gentleman to kill and set fire? If the gentleman follows me, he doesn't have to be left alone in the gambling house all day long."

The man looked at Chu Yi and asked, "Then talk about your identity first."

Chu Yi said: "I am Xiao Rui, the King of Rui of Northern Qi."

The man said "Oh" and said, "It turns out he is the son whom Emperor Qi met again after a long separation."

Chu Yi didn't comment, didn't say anything, just stared at him.

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I can talk to you, but I have a condition."

Chu Yi made a gesture of invitation with his right hand and said, "Please say it!"

The man said, "Even if I and you are with you, it doesn't mean I'm selling it to you. I'm not your subordinate. You and I are just an ordinary cooperative relationship. The cooperation between me and you is charged according to the number of tasks you asked me to do. As for the cost of each task, I will give you a quote when you give the task. If you think it's too expensive, you can ask someone else to do it for you."

Chu Yi nodded and said, "Yes!"

"I'll remind you again, my charges are very high." The man looked at Chu Yi with provocation.

Chu Yi smiled: "It depends on whether you are worth the price!"

"Ha ha……"

The man laughed and said, "Then, I will introduce myself first. My name is Guiyan. From now on, I will have a happy cooperation." Guiyan said, stretching out a hand to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi smiled, reached out his hand, and grabbed Gui Yan slightly.

Gui Yan said: "Now, I have no fixed place in Qidu. Since I am with you now, you should always provide me with a simple accommodation."

Chu Yi said: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for you."

...

The attack on the bandits was very smooth. In less than ten days, the good news was sent back from Nanning City, and the prince and Liu Cong also went very smoothly.

On the tenth day, the prince and Liu Cong returned early. Emperor Qi received two people in the Shenwu Palace, and several important ministers in the court were there, and Xiao Yichen was there.

Liu Cong reported to Emperor Qi with a slight eloquence about the relief of refugees. The most important thing is that the relief funds were only used half of the funds, so he settled the refugees and received praise.

After hearing this, Emperor Qi was very satisfied and praised Liu Cong as "my good money bag."

Liu Cong was frightened and hurriedly said, "The emperor praised it. The reason why this time was so smooth and he saved a lot of money for the treasury was entirely because His Highness the crown prince was good at leading the way."

The prince next to him was not very interested, but when he heard Liu Cong's words, he could only squeeze out a smile and said to Emperor Qi: "Father, I have also done what the minister should do."

Emperor Qi was in a good mood and turned to Xiao Yichen and said, "Yi'er, let the Ministry of Rites prepare a celebration banquet immediately to welcome the prince and Liu Aiqing."

Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement.

At the celebration banquet, all the ministers in the court came to congratulate the prince.

The prince was indifferent to the atmosphere. Before the celebration banquet was over, he used the excuse of being infected with cold on the way and returned to the East Palace.

As soon as Xiao Ziyu returned to the Eastern Palace, Meng Xi, the Minister of Revenue, came.

When Meng Xi walked in, Xiao Ziyu was lying on the bed to rest.
