Qin Li was all too familiar with the melody of the two little bees.

In his past life in the business world, he often played with innocent female college students and girls in black stockings.

But this melody couldn't have suddenly appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The only possibility is that someone brought it to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Li quickly looked at Wei Hongying beside him and asked, "Miss Wei, have you heard Qin Feng sing this melody before?"

If Qin Feng brought this melody to the Great Zhou, then he's overthinking it; there are no other main characters involved.

otherwise……

Wei Hongying didn't know why Qin Li asked that, but she still shook her head and answered truthfully, "No, I've never heard Qin Feng sing it."

After saying that, Wei Hongying asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the melody?"

"Your Highness may not know this, but this melody was created by Su Chen, the young master of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion."

"Su Chen?"

Qin Li frowned.

"Yes, Su Chen!"

"His grandfather was General Su, the Marquis of Dingyuan in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Like our Wei family, almost all the men of the Su family died in battle on the border. Su Chen was young and neither good at literature nor martial arts, but he was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. He was just a spoiled brat. This time, he stayed in the capital and escaped a disaster!"

Geek!

Hearing Wei Hongying's words, Qin Li's heart skipped a beat.

As we all know, being the protagonist's family member is a high-risk profession.

They often start by offering sacrifices to the heavens to boost the protagonist's combat power.

The entire Su family performed the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, leaving only Su Chen alive.

He himself is a spoiled brat, a typical protagonist's family background.

Moreover, his name contains the character "尘" (chen), making it a perfect character for a main character's name.

Besides, he also has two little bees. Who would believe he's not the main character?

Based on Qin Li's experience as a seasoned bookworm of ten years, Su Chen is undoubtedly the protagonist.

Damn it!

The arrival of the main character, Qin Feng, is not enough.

Now there's another one, Su Chen.

Did this villain commit some heinous crime?

Did he flirt with Chang'e, or did he sleep with the Queen Mother of the West?

Let the two main characters come and kill him.

Seeing that Qin Li's expression was a little off, Wei Hongying asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just need some peace and quiet!"

"Who is Jingjing?"

……

After a long while, Qin Li closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down his complicated feelings.

It's alright, it's alright, they're just two main characters.

Was he scared?

Did he back down?

Although I was indeed a little scared, and I did want to back down.

Being flexible and adaptable is not shameful!

But when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it!

Having two main characters isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It should be noted that the protagonist is not allowed to have another protagonist besides himself.

Otherwise, there would be no point in them traveling here. Their ultimate goal has always been the same: to wield power over the world while asleep and to be surrounded by beautiful women.

Which protagonist could tolerate others taking a share of their pie, power, or beauty? Even the villain Qin Li couldn't tolerate it.

Therefore, Qin Li could use a little trick to make the two main characters, Qin Feng and Su Chen, fight to the death, and then he could come out and reap the benefits. Wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?

Thinking of this, Qin Li opened his eyes. "It's alright, let's go inside."

"good!"

As soon as I entered the private room, I saw several young men in fine clothes sitting inside.

The one in the lead was the youngest, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and not yet an adult.

He was handsome and dashing, with a roguish charm; there was no need to guess that he was the protagonist, Su Chen.

"Oh?"

"What wind blew Sister Hongying here?"

"Quickly offer me your seats! Show some respect, everyone. Let me introduce you to this heroine of our Great Zhou Dynasty, my sworn sister, Wei Hongying!"

Upon seeing Wei Hongying, the young Su Chen quickly put his leg down from the table and greeted her with a smile.

"You're so sweet-talking!"

Wei Hongying couldn't stop smiling.

He reached out and gently patted Su Chen's shoulder, treating him like a little brother.

Both the Wei and Su families are military families, and the two families often interact.

If it weren't for their age difference, they would have been betrothed long ago.

"Sister Hongying, who is this?"

Su Chen turned his gaze to Qin Li beside Wei Hongying and asked.

The young men in the private room were also very curious and looked at Qin Li together.

Qin Li was quite surprised that these young masters didn't recognize him.

However, upon further reflection, it became clear that the original owner, as the powerful eldest prince, was not on the same level as these young masters who only knew how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore. It was normal that he didn't recognize them. If their fathers were here, they would definitely recognize Qin Li.

Wei Hongying was about to introduce Qin Li's identity when Qin Li spoke first, saying, "My name is Qin Feng!"

Wei Hongying was taken aback and looked at Qin Li suspiciously, wondering what Qin Li was up to.

But she didn't expose him; instead, she took Qin Li's arm and said, "Yes, this is Qin Feng, the seventh prince of our Great Zhou, my fiancé!"

Upon hearing this, the young men exchanged glances, then stepped forward, clasped their hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Seventh Prince!"

Although Qin Feng's reputation as a good-for-nothing is far more resounding than his reputation as a prince.

But he was, after all, a prince, and it would be inappropriate not to pay his respects.

Besides, Wei Hongying is still here; even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least consider the Buddha.

Young Su Chen also bowed, but he seemed reluctant, his eyes filled with contempt.

Especially when he saw Wei Hongying's hand around his arm, his eyes were like an extremely sharp knife, as if he wanted to cut off Qin Li's arm.

Gee tut.

Qin Li couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.

As expected of the protagonist, every attractive woman is assumed to be his.

The protagonist will not tolerate anyone who dares to touch him, or is even touched by him passively!

"Your presence, my dear sister, truly brings honor to this humble abode!"

"Sister Hongying, you must take a seat! If you don't sit, we'll all stand!"

Without making a sound, young Su Chen stepped forward, took Wei Hongying's arm, and led her to the main seat.

In any case, he couldn't bear to see any other man besides himself having any physical contact with Wei Hongying.

Qin Feng, right? He remembered it.

What's wrong with the prince? He has a hundred ways to kill the prince.

Sister Hongying can only belong to Su Chen.

Young Su Chen's little actions and thoughts.

How could Qin Li, a seasoned businessman, not see through it?

He simply shook his head and chuckled twice.

A protagonist with this kind of mindset is much easier to deal with than Qin Feng.

After taking his seat, Qin Li noticed the young men whispering and gossiping among themselves, glancing at him every now and then.

No need to guess, they're definitely talking about him, this useless prince.

Qin Li ignored them, his attention drawn to the mountain of silver notes and gold bars on the table.

He then realized why Wei Hongying had brought him here.

The silver notes and gold bars on the table add up to at least several hundred thousand taels.

Although it's still not enough to cover the military expenses for this expedition, something is better than nothing.

"Sister Hongying, why aren't you staying home? What are you doing here? Do you miss your brother?"

"Get lost! All you do is talk!"

"I really should get you a wife so I can keep you in check."

After saying that, Wei Hongying deftly untied the money pouch from her waist and slammed it on the table. "I heard you've been setting up a scheme and winning for days on end. Well, your god-sister is itching to try her luck and wants to gamble a few rounds to earn some dowry money!"

After saying that, she secretly gave Qin Li a wink, signaling him to cooperate.

Tonight we'll beat those rich kids big enough to earn military funds!
