In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Seeing Huangfu Yueling speak with such confidence, Chen Shan immediately laughed.

Chen Shan admired Huang Yueling for being able to justify giving away money so confidently, even if she had other ulterior motives.

After all, it was quite unexpected that a princess could achieve this.

"Alright, since the princess says that being near the water gives you an advantage, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Please trouble the princess to wash herself thoroughly tonight, and it would be best to have some candles in the room. Oh, and by the way, prepare the whip."

"Since the princess has given me such a convenient position, let's go all the way."

"I hope the princess won't disappoint me."

Chen Shan spoke with a smile, without any politeness whatsoever.

Instead, they started teasing Huangfu Yueling.

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, Huangfu Yueling's eyes widened, her face flushed, and she glared angrily at Chen Shan.

"You, you pervert! Who would play this game with you!"

"Besides, I'm giving you a chance, not telling you to mess around."

"If you're really capable of taking down this princess, why not give me a good beating?"

"But I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

Huangfu Yueling snorted, turned around with an arrogant expression, and walked towards the courtyard next to her.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting Chen Shan to know so many ways to play.

Watching Huangfu Yueling leave, Chen Shan laughed. This Ninth Princess was truly interesting.

Not only did they offer it up for free, but they also failed to increase the favorability rating at all. This is definitely someone who came with an ulterior motive.

Given such a strong sense of purpose, Chen Shan naturally wanted to investigate thoroughly.

Perfect timing, the distance is close, and with the Black Ice Platform there, it's just right to keep an eye on things.

In this way, Chen Shan no longer needs to worry about Huangfu Yueling causing any trouble.

He was genuinely worried that this woman would drag her own wife into the rebellion.

Back in the courtyard, Chen Shan gave Liu Ruyu and the others some advice, telling them to stay out of Huang Yueling's mess and just interact normally with her.

Chen Shan, on the other hand, went to the Southern Slaughter King's Mansion.

Xu Sijing's matter needs to be addressed and momentum needs to be built.

In Chenshan, none other than the Southern Slaughter King is worthy of the title.

As for the Ninth Princess Huangfu Yueling, that woman's intentions were not pure to begin with, so we still need to consider her.

If she were involved, she might directly instruct Xu Sijing to teach those students to rebel.

If that were the case, even the Confucian sage would be furious.

at that time.

The Southern Slaughter King's Mansion.

As Chen Shan approached, he saw the Third Emperor Huangfu Song sitting to one side.

This surprised Chen Shan somewhat.

Meanwhile, the Southern King and his daughter sat to the side, seemingly discussing something.

"Your Highness, it seems I've arrived at an inopportune time. I hope I haven't interrupted your conversation?"

Chen Shan didn't stand on ceremony; while he said he was being a bother, his actions betrayed him.

He went straight up and sat down.

He didn't even offer the slightest courtesy when facing a princess, a prince, and a duke.

"Chen Shan, do not be rude, the Third Prince is here."

Nan Tu Rou watched. Although she and her father were used to Chen Shan's personality, there were still other people present.

We should still be mindful of the potential impact.

"I wasn't being rude, was I?"

"I've heard that the Third Prince is indifferent to worldly affairs and probably doesn't care about those formalities. Besides, I'm a military man, so there's no point in me getting involved in those empty formalities."

"You agree, Third Prince?"

Chen Shan looked at Huangfu Song with a smile.

Their eyes met, and Huangfu Song's heart skipped a beat. This guy had wanted to slap him the first time they met.

Indeed, there's no need to be particular about etiquette.

"This is Uncle Wang's residence. If Uncle Wang has no objection, then naturally I have no objection either."

"Besides, General Chen and I both work in the Governor's Office, so we are colleagues and there's no need to make a fuss about these things."

Huangfu Song quickly spoke, using rather official language that sounded like mere politeness to anyone.

However, Chen Shan's next words made all three of them uneasy.

"The Third Prince is indeed thoughtful and meticulous, yet unconcerned with trivial matters. It's hard to imagine that he's a prince who is indifferent to worldly affairs."

"Could it be that the Third Prince is hiding his true abilities?"

Chen Shan got straight to the point, and his few words immediately put the three of them on edge.

Huangfu Song never expected Chen Shan to do this.

Others may notice or discover this, but it is all done through gradual testing and confirmation.

They only dare to speak openly after they are certain, but when it comes to Chen Shan, it's completely different.

This guy is completely open and aboveboard, as if he can't hide anything.

"Hehe, General Chen, you jest. I'm only here because Uncle Wang asked for some tea, not because..."

Huangfu Song spoke again, but he was wrong again.

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Shan interrupted him.

"What kind of tea does the royal family not have, but the prince's residence does? Is the Third Prince implying that the prince's residence is more powerful than the royal family? Isn't this an accusation that the prince has rebellious intentions?"

"Or is it that the Third Prince didn't actually come for the tea, but was just making up an excuse?"

Chen Shan's series of actions finally pushed Huangfu Song to his breaking point.

He immediately stood up abruptly.

"Can't you read the room? No matter what, I'm a prince, and these are a duke and a princess. Can't you at least show some restraint?"

Seeing Huangfu Song's impatience, Nan Tu Rou shook her head helplessly, a bitter smile on her lips.

Only the Southern Slaughter King laughed.

"Oh, look, you're getting impatient."

"You're a prince, after all. Be more composed. You've cultivated this persona for so long, and a few words are all it takes to expose your true colors. Your acting skills are terrible."

Chen Shan laughed out loud. He had originally intended to test the waters and see how deep the Third Prince was.

I didn't expect this guy to show himself so quickly.

It really feels like shallow water teeming with turtles.

"Alright, Chen Shan, Your Highness, you two should stop."

"Chen Shan, I know you don't care about etiquette and status, but you should still be mindful of some things when you're out in public."

"Please sit down, everyone. We're all family here."

When the King of Southern Slaughter spoke, Huangfu Song sat down with a sullen expression, instinctively avoiding Chen Shan.

I just wanted to get away from him.

After all, this guy is really too strange, he never follows the rules.

Hearing what the Southern Slaughter King said, Chen Shan was somewhat surprised.

"What? Your Highness, are you planning to tell me everything?"

"We are just cooperating, and my cooperation does not benefit the royal family at all."

Chen Shan was curious.

He originally came here to discuss the Lanan Tuwang Mansion's investment in the academy, hoping they would lend their support.

I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain; it was something I really didn't anticipate.

"Rest assured, the royal family was indeed involved in the Xiao family's affairs, but it was not the Third Prince or the Emperor."

"You little rascal, you're as cunning as an old fox at such a young age. If I don't make things clear to you, you might even try to scheme against me."

The Southern King's tone was somewhat helpless, yet full of admiration for Chen Shan.
