My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 111 The Prince Has a Bad Temperament

Liu Lin?

Where did this ghost come from?

Mu Zheng thought for a long time, but couldn't find any memory of him in his mind.

Li Lian had some impression of this man. "The Prince of Zhao's palace is in Handan. I heard that the Crown Prince of Zhao is very fond of alchemy and often associates with people who believe in ghosts and gods, which has caused resentment among his vassals. However, since Wang Mang came to power, the Han princes have become much more obedient. Liu Lin is no exception. He lives cautiously all day long, changing his usual high profile, for fear of attracting Wang Mang's attention and being demoted."

"The prince of Luomo Palace?" Mu Zheng was a little surprised. Logically, such a force should have nothing to do with Elephant Island. How could they come specifically to deal with Gong Wen?

Is it really an accident?

"Please help us make an appointment with Prince Liu. I want to talk to him in person." Mu Zheng said to Li Yu.

Li Yu was silent for a long time, then he smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "Since Mr. Mu wants to talk to the prince, then let's talk."

Mu Zheng waved his hand to let Li Yu leave, and told him that Bu De Fang Wu would let him go later.

Not long after Li Yu left, Qi Yuxiu and Li Lian entered the room one after another.

"Oh, the beauty is back." Mu Zheng said with a smile.

"Not only has she returned, but she's also incredibly beautiful." Gong Wen echoed.

Qi Yuxiu was stunned, a hint of shyness appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Then, Li Lian next to him said, "I'm so ashamed. I just didn't want Li Yu to misunderstand that you kidnapped his daughter."

Ok?

Everyone was stunned. Why did this sound so wrong?

After lunch, Li Yu came to the door and said that the Prince of Zhao had agreed to meet with them at the viewing tower by the lake outside the city.

Mu Zheng and others thought it was a tourist attraction, but when they arrived at the scene, they found that this was a place to listen to music.

Sure enough, in an era when people are living in poverty, the powerful and wealthy will never feel the famine.

"Gentlemen, please come upstairs!" A servant came forward to greet them.

"Excuse me, where is Room No. 1?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Sir, I'll take you upstairs right away." The servant made a gesture of invitation.

"No need, just tell me the direction and I can go there myself." Mu Zheng politely declined the servant's service.

After a while, Mu Zheng stood outside Room No. 1, but he was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he stood outside the door waiting.

Just then, he heard two voices coming from inside the house.

"Li Yu, do you really not want this head anymore?"

"My Lord, please have some mercy on me. You don't know how cruel they are. I'm really stuck between you two."

"What does that have to do with me? Since you've already agreed to hand over the transfer station to me, there's no room for negotiation."

"But I... then, my Lord, how about this? Let's find a compromise, such as..."

"Compromise? Do you believe I can compromise you right now?"

"Master..."

"Alright! I'm already doing you a favor by agreeing to meet those country bumpkins. If you keep on nagging me, I'll throw you into the lake to feed the fish."

Mu Zheng was speechless listening outside the door. Too lazy to listen anymore, he kicked the door open and walked in with everyone.

Li Yu turned around and saw Mu Zheng, who had a bitter look on his face.

Li Lian didn't want to embarrass him, so he waved his hand at him: "Boss Li, it's windy outside, and you're sweating profusely. Go outside and cool down."

Li Yu looked at Li Lian with gratitude. He couldn't afford to offend either side. Since the big shot wanted to discuss something, it would be better for a small fry like him to stay away from the battlefield.

Seeing Li Yu leave, the Prince of Zhao looked grim, but he didn't stop him. He glanced at the people in front of him, then arrogantly picked up the tea in front of him.

"How dare you!" the guards in front of Liu Lin scolded him, "Why don't you kneel before the Crown Prince of Zhao?"

In this ancient society, people often kneel down at the drop of a hat, but Mu Zheng had traveled through time for over a year and had never kneeled before. He glanced at the man calmly, then walked over, pulled out the chair opposite Liu Lin, and plopped down on it. "Prince Zhao, do you know that the transfer station was built by people from my Elephant Island?"

Uh.

Not to mention Liu Lin, even Gong Wen was stunned for a moment.

After all, they are ancient people, and the ideas of the powerful class are deeply rooted. Even if they don't want to kneel down to Liu Lin, they can't sit opposite the prince and talk to him so openly.

"hehe!"

Liu Lin sneered.

Now it is the New Dynasty, and many people no longer respect the Liu royal family. He has seen many similar scenes, but powerful people can do it. Where does the confidence of this fisherman on Xiang Island come from?

"Yours? What belongs to you in my territory, King Zhao?" Liu Lin grabbed the cup and threw it at Mu Zheng. Mu Zheng was prepared and turned his head slightly to avoid it.

Seeing this, Li Lian quickly drew his sword.

King Zhao's guards also quickly stood in front of everyone.

"It seems that Prince Liu has a bad temper." Mu Zheng rubbed his fingers together, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and shook his head: "It's too bland!"

Then, before anyone could react, the teacup flew out and hit the back of the hand of one of the guards.

Bang!

The knife fell to the ground.

"you!"

Liu Lin looked at Mu Zheng in horror. He easily dodged the cup thrown by him, but his guards could not dodge the cup thrown by him.

Does this mean that the other party is about to slap him, and his guards will be unable to stop him?

Thinking of this, cold sweat gradually broke out on King Zhao's forehead.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant! It's not like my Prince Zhao's Palace is without experts." Liu Lin looked at him warily. But what he said was indeed true. Today, he thought he was just going to meet some locals, so he brought a few of his regular followers. But he was a local overlord after all, so he always had a few martial arts masters in his palace.

"Yes, I believe it, but so what? Can they get to you in time?" Mu Zheng looked at Liu Lin with a smile that made the other's heart beat fast.

"Be bold!"

As soon as the guard whose knife was knocked away opened his mouth, Liu Lin shouted, "Shut up!"

The guard was stunned and turned around to see that the man who was more beautiful than the woman had already closed the door.

"You?" The guard retreated tactically.

"Don't be afraid. I, Li Lian, know how to control my strength when I strike." Li Lian laughed, but Liu Lin's eyes twitched.

He turned his gaze to Li Lian and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Li Lian from Ju County?"

As soon as the words fell, the guard's face suddenly changed, as if remembering something. Having been with Liu Lin for a long time, he had heard about the goings-on at court, including the recent rebellion in Ju County. It was said that a man named Li Lian was involved, and rumored to be more handsome than a woman, which perfectly matched the characteristics of the man in front of him.

When Li Lian heard the other party say the word Ju County, he realized that the other party had heard of his name.

"My name remains unchanged, and I am incredibly beautiful. I am Li Lian!" As she spoke, Li Lian lifted her hair to show off her beauty.

The moment Liu Lin heard Li Lian acknowledge his name, his pupils suddenly shrank. "I've heard of Master Lian's name before. I didn't know this transit station was related to you. If I had known, I would never have interfered. But as the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting. We are destined to be together. Now I'm returning this transit station to you intact. Let's just consider it a friendship."

Mu Zheng and Gong Wen looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.

What does that mean? As a prince of the imperial court, why do your eyes light up when you hear the name of a traitor?

Does he also want to rebel against Wang Mang?
