Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 292 The Third Prince Pulls Out a Weeping Willow

As soon as the Third Prince returned to the restaurant, Lu Chengqing hurriedly greeted him: "How is your Highness?"

"What else can he do? He is just a pale-faced scholar, who is powerless. At that time, I pointed at his nose and scolded him, 'You little thief, your grandfather came here today to give you some face. If your grandfather is not happy, don't blame me for demolishing your county government.' Guess what that pretty boy did?"

"How?" Lu Chengqing's eyes were burning: "Did he have an argument with His Highness?"

"Dare! Give him the courage." The third prince slammed the Fuliang travel guide on the table. "He gave me this map with his tail between his legs, and said that he would cover all my expenses at that time! Hahaha, I really thought he was a wolf and a tiger, but I never thought he was a stray dog. But you, how could you be bullied by such a person?"

This sentence choked Lu Chengqing so much that he couldn't speak for a long time. He was just surprised. The Xia Lin he knew was not an easy person to talk to. The key point was that the Third Prince was not an easy person to deal with either. How could the two of them be so easy to deal with?
But looking at the Third Prince's arrogant look, he doesn't seem to be lying. Could it be that Xia Daosheng really only picks on the weak?
Damn thing!

At this time, Du Feng trotted to the Third Prince and said flatteringly, "My master said that all the food, clothing and other expenses of His Highness here will be charged to his account. He also said that if His Highness goes to that cheap restaurant, he will be led to a better place. If this place doesn't work for His Highness, please follow me to a better place."

The Third Prince was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes really lit up. He glanced around, and slammed the table with a domineering look on his face, "Come on, I don't care about the pomp and circumstance. Go back and tell your master to be careful and not to provoke me and Lord Lu."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Du Feng returned to the government office again. After hearing the original words, Xia Lin immediately slapped the table and laughed. After laughing, he turned to Xu Jingzong and said, "Old Xu, this third prince is not a simple person."

"Of course. Who among those who grew up in an imperial family is a simple person except my silly wife?" Xia Lin sighed, "She is really brainless."

"Sir, I have been married for more than ten years. Eh...how should I put it? I really want a sudden gust of evil wind to blow."

"How to say?"

"If the tiles blown down from above hit my wife on the head, it would be best if she could become stupid. If she could become dumb, that would be the best thing in the world. If this dream comes true, from now on until I die, I will burn incense and kowtow to the Dragon King of Changjiang every year."

“Hahahaha… Fuck, you’re the most cunning bitch in the history, and someone can force you into this state?”

Xu Jingzong's face was full of helplessness: "She should be reasonable. You and her are secretly plotting against each other, and she is fighting against you. You are making a feint to the east and attacking in the west with her, and she is also fighting against you. She... Damn it."

Xia Lin felt like he couldn't survive after hearing this. He held his chest and took a long time to calm down. It's true that every family in this world has its own problems.

At this moment, Du Feng couldn't help himself, so he asked with a smile on his face: "My lords, I have something I don't understand."

"Tell me." Xu Jingzong actually liked this Du Feng: "What's the puzzle?"

"It's about the Third Prince. I just heard him say to Lord Lu, 'You little thief, your grandfather came here today to give you some face. If your grandfather is unhappy, don't blame me for demolishing your county government office.' And then he was showing off. But wasn't he very polite when he came?"

After listening to this, Lao Xu twisted his beard and said, "You still don't know people well. People here say one thing and do another. They say one thing to one person and another to another. Only by speaking nonsense can you live freely in this world."

Du Feng scratched his head. Although he was still confused, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

However, Xia Lin started to talk now: "In my opinion, the Third Prince's reputation is all self-defiled. If I'm not mistaken, he probably doesn't want to be involved in the battle for the throne, so he uses this method to make everyone think that he is a bastard. Since he has no value, no one will use him. This is a way to protect himself. If you want to say that he is vicious, I don't think so. He is a prince, and there is no need for him to use such a vulgar method. So in my opinion, he has been acting, acting for the court, acting for His Majesty, and acting for the world."

"So that's why he has two styles?"

"More than that, guess why I asked you to tell him that all his expenses here will be on my head? Because he wants to cause trouble. If he doesn't, he won't be the Third Prince. And since I spent money for him, he can't make trouble from this point. And do you know which is the most important sentence he asked you to bring?"

Du Feng still shook his head. He was not bad in academics, but he was really not good at dealing with human relationships. After all, he was young and had little exposure to these things.

At this moment, Xu Jingzong knocked on his head with his fan: "Rotten wood! It's the sentence 'Tell him to be careful and not to provoke me and Lord Lu'."

After listening to this, Xia Lin glanced at Xu Jingzong. After all, he was Old Xu. This old guy was able to serve three emperors of the early Tang Dynasty, including the Secretary of State under Li Shimin, the Minister of Rites under Li Zhi, and the Secretary of State under Wu Zetian. He was the highest official in the country. In the end, he was able to have a good end. This guy... Oh, he was really amazing.

"This sentence is very meaningful." Old Xu waved his fan and said, "Sir, he meant that Lord Lu was instigating this, right?"

"Yeah, that's what I mean."

After saying that, he patted Du Feng on the head and said, "You wouldn't survive more than three episodes in a serious palace drama."

Du Feng stood there scratching his head. He had no idea what a palace drama was...

From that night on, the Third Prince caused chaos in the whole place. He had three fights and beat six people to the ground, making them scream in pain.

Xia Lin paid for him. Then he got into an argument with a wonton stall and overturned the stove.

Xia Lin also compensated him.

He refused to go to any nice restaurant and insisted on catching chickens from his fellow villagers and roasting them by the river.

Xia Lin still compensated him.

Actually, the total amount of money was not much. The people who were beaten only had superficial injuries. The five taels of silver per person were very happy. The wonton stall was only less than one tael of silver, and Xia Lin also compensated them with five taels, and was very happy. Stealing chickens and dogs, how much can chickens be worth...

Anyway, it was just a bunch of ridiculous things, but everyone said that this guy was arrogant, rude, lawless, and like a plague.

The Third Prince was also very happy about it. He even refused to stay in an inn or a villa, saying that he was bored of living in the capital and had to live in something exciting. So he rushed into a funeral store and picked out a coffin for himself to live in.

He also asked Lord Lu whether he could stay there. How could he stay there? Lu Chengqing ran away overnight.

The third prince was also a rude man. He didn't run away but set up camp by the river. Several guards lit a bonfire and he sat in a coffin, which looked quite scary.

It was probably almost midnight when Xia Lin came to the river carrying roast chicken, roast goose and liquor. It was only April now, and the temperature here had dropped in the past few days, and it was still chilly.

When he passed by, the third prince was sitting in his coffin, staring at the surging river in a daze, holding a piece of dry biscuit in his hand, eating it bit by bit.

When Xia Lin came to him, his guards were smart and immediately stood up and became alert, but when they saw it was Xia Lin, they sat down again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

He called out twice before the Third Prince turned his head. At that moment, the moonlight shone on his face, revealing a completely different calmness and composure.

"Laugh if you want to." The third prince raised his hand and threw the cake in his hand into the river: "I've had enough of this kind of life."

Xia Lin handed over the things in his hand: "Your Highness, it's cold here. Why don't we go to the inn?"

"No." The third prince waved his hand, then opened the wine jar and drank from it. "You can go and tell my eldest brother that I am playing crazy. I know I can't hide it from you."

Xia Lin found a rock and sat down: "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

"I have carefully considered this before I came here. How can I not know your fame even if others don't know it? If I can keep it a secret from you, then your reputation as the best in the world is not in vain."

"How does Your Highness know that I am not just a name for nothing? I can't see through it. I just think that Your Highness is a very violent person, arrogant and unruly. He is difficult to get along with and acts recklessly. He is not worth making friends with."

Xia Lin stood up and walked back after he finished speaking: "I know that if Your Highness doesn't come, it will arouse suspicion. Don't worry, Your Highness, you have a good grasp of this measure."

The third prince looked back at the place where Xia Lin disappeared. Suddenly, he felt like crying. He felt like meeting a confidant. No kidding, it was the kind of happiness that did not need to be explained that made the third prince realize that Xia Daosheng was truly a gift from heaven.

Ridiculous is only ridiculous in the eyes of those who don’t understand. However, the meaning of Xia Lin’s words just now clearly showed that the Third Prince was helpless.

This understanding alone made him almost cry. He sighed, silently took a bite of the roast chicken, and then paused for a moment.

"Mm! It smells pretty damn good."

But the question is, what did Lord Lu call him here for? Wasn't it to mess with Xia Daosheng? But now he is busy making trouble and going crazy every day. Xia Daosheng doesn't arrest him or care about him. If the two of them want to fight, they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

So the next day, Lord Lu had an idea. They must go to the Fuliang Grand Theater. Although the two most popular girls there today were not there, the other girls were all top-notch courtesans.

Everyone knew that the third prince was lustful, so Duke Lu deliberately took the third prince to the theater.

Today's play was the Legend of the White Snake, and His Highness was watching it with great interest. At this moment, Lord Lu suddenly pointed his fan at the actress playing the role of White Snake on the stage, turned his head and said to the Third Prince, "Your Highness, what do you think of this young lady?"

"Good!" The third prince threw a handful of golden pumpkin seeds from his pocket onto the stage: "You deserve a reward!"

"That's not what I meant." Duke Lu smiled and said, "I'm asking if Your Highness is interested in her."
