I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Qin Li also knew that Qin Feng would no longer easily believe his promises to him.

I can only blame myself for having tricked him too many times in the past, and I'm afraid to trick him again.

But Qin Li had to convince him that he still needed his help to capture Fang Yuan; the more people there were, the more strength they would have.

Thinking of this, Qin Li steered the conversation back on track, "Anyway, Fang Yuan isn't dead; he's currently hiding in this very manor right here beneath our feet!"

"Seventh Prince, you should think carefully about how much harm Fang Yuan caused you in the past. He impersonated you and let the world know that you, the dignified Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou, have homosexual tendencies. This has caused men to avoid you when they see you, and women to secretly laugh at you. It will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future."

"It's impossible for you and Wei Hongying to be together, but you still have to settle down, get married, and have children. Are you willing to marry an ordinary woman? You certainly aren't, but what family would be willing to marry their daughter to you? If she marries you, wouldn't she suffer a lifetime of widowhood?"

These words hit Qin Feng's sore spot perfectly!

If you ask him, the person he hates the most is not Qin Li, but Fang Yuan.

Qin Li will only trick him, making him work himself to the bone for nothing, and in the end, he will get nothing.

But Fang Yuan will harm him, ruining his reputation and future!

"Seventh Brother, I can promise you right now: as long as you capture Fang Yuan, I'll hand him over to you so you can execute him yourself and vent your anger!"

Even with his strong will, Qin Feng couldn't resist such temptation.

There is nothing more satisfying than being able to personally kill your enemy.

"But elder brother, the Emperor's decree ordered you to leave the Marquis's mansion immediately!" Qin Feng still had reservations.

Even Qin Li, who didn't leave, was severely punished; let alone him, the Xuan Emperor would surely kill him.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Qin Li patted his chest, "Your older brother is afraid of him? When has your older brother ever listened to Father Emperor?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything. If anything goes wrong, I'll handle it all."

With those words, Qin Feng felt much more at ease.

Seeing that Qin Feng's eyes had changed, Dong Jin knew something was wrong and looked at his sister, Consort Hui, beside him.

Weren't they supposed to be just friends in name only? How come they seem to be teaming up to deal with him now?

Consort Hui was unaware of what had happened and looked completely innocent.

He couldn't even withstand Qin Li's attack alone, let alone with the addition of the Seventh Prince Qin Feng.

Perhaps they really will search the Marquis's mansion from top to bottom.

Thinking this through, Dong Jin did not sit idly by and wait for his doom, but instead launched a preemptive attack:

"May I ask, Your Highness, what did the imperial edict say?"

The Emperor Xuan's decree was definitely in his favor. What he needed to do was to make the contents of the decree public so that Qin Li would no longer dare to act recklessly in the Marquis's residence.

Qin Feng was not fooled and said, "This is something that you, Marquis, need not know. The imperial edict is for my elder brother. Only my elder brother is qualified to know the contents of the imperial edict."

Dong Jin looked at Qin Li, who was even more direct, casually tossing the imperial edict to Zhou Biao behind him, instructing him to protect it, before saying, "The imperial edict isn't for Lord Dong, so why is Lord Dong so eager to know?"

Now, only the two brothers in the entire Marquis's mansion know what the imperial edict says. As long as the two brothers don't say anything, no one will know the Emperor Xuan's demand that Qin Li leave quickly. Dong Jin is always at a disadvantage.

Dong Jin couldn't just reach out and snatch the imperial edict; that would be tantamount to rebellion!

"My lord, my elder brother just said that you are harboring a wanted criminal who escaped from the army? Is that true?"

"It must be fake. Why would the Marquis harbor a wanted criminal?"

"Alright then, this prince will lead my men on a simple search to clear the Marquis's name!"

After saying that, Qin Feng was about to direct Zhou Biao and the others to search with him.

Normally, Zhou Biao and his gang would never give Qin Feng a second glance.

But now, they are happily going to follow Qin Feng to search.

Who cares who we search? As long as we can find the person, it will save His Highness the Crown Prince the trouble of searching.

"presumptuous!"

Dong Jin couldn't help but scold him. He had finally realized that Qin Feng and Qin Li were in cahoots.

He had assumed that Qin Feng had come with the imperial edict to help him.

Who knew that Qin Li would turn them against him with just a few words?

"Lord Dong, this is not a good idea."

"Resisting the search, could it be that the wanted criminal is really hiding in your residence?" Qin Feng said.

Pointing his finger at Qin Feng, Dong Jin was furious.

It's one thing for Qin Li to cause trouble at his residence; Qin Li has the power to do so.

But what is Qin Feng anyway? He's just a useless prince with no powerful maternal family. What makes him dare to act so arrogantly in his residence? He must have a death wish.

"Guards, fetch my greatsword!"

Soon, the broadsword that had accompanied Dong Jin on his campaigns was brought in.

Although this sword has been sealed away for a long time, its sharpness is still evident!

Holding a large sword, Dong Jin stood in front of the two men and said, "Your Highnesses, without any real evidence, you want to search my residence? If word gets out, how can I, the Marquis of Wuyang, maintain my standing in the capital?"

"You want to search the mansion? Fine, go and get His Majesty's decree!"

"Once the decree arrives, I will allow you to search as you see fit!"

"Without an imperial decree, I would be honored to offend you today!"

"Anyone who dares to step forward, don't blame me for drawing my sword!"

"You brought this upon yourselves by injuring any prince!"

Fang Yuan wasn't at his residence today, so Dong Jin wouldn't have anyone search his mansion.

I actually searched it up. What's the difference between this and pooping on his neck?

Not to mention, Fang Yuan is currently in his residence, so he would definitely not allow anyone to search the place.

Seeing that Dong Jinning refused to back down, Qin Feng had no choice but to retreat and whispered to Qin Li, "Brother, what should we do? We can't just search him by force, can we?"

"This is a legitimate military marquis; if we really resort to violence, we won't be able to explain ourselves!"

"My elder brother is about to be named the crown prince. At this critical juncture, it's best if something goes wrong."

"In my humble opinion, we can withdraw first, and then secretly send people to keep an eye on the Marquis's every move."

"As soon as Fang Yuan shows himself, we can catch him red-handed!"

Qin Feng's suggestion was the best course of action, but Qin Li was unwilling to implement it.

He's about to become the Crown Prince, how could he let a mere Marquis act so arrogantly in front of him?

He could search the entire capital city, except for the imperial palace!

Ignoring Qin Feng's attempts to stop him, Qin Li stepped forward: "I've long heard that Lord Dong is a formidable figure on the battlefield, capable of holding off ten thousand men single-handedly, and taking the enemy general's head from among a vast army with ease!"

"Today, this prince will experience it for himself!"

"I have lost. I will leave immediately with my men and will come to apologize with gifts another day."

"If you win, don't blame me for finding the wanted criminal in the Marquis's residence."

Upon hearing this, Consort Hui was overjoyed, for she saw the hope of revenge right before her eyes.

If Dong Jin can kill Qin Li, his son Qin Yu's revenge will be achieved.

This was Qin Li's own doing; it wasn't that Dong Jin wanted to kill him.

Dong Jin also received the look from his sister and nodded.

In a competition, injuries are inevitable, and death is also normal; no one can say he's wrong.

If Qin Li really dies by his blade, Emperor Xuan might even reward him handsomely. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Thinking of this, Dong Jin brandished his broadsword. "Since Your Highness is so eager to learn, then I shall humbly accept!"

After saying that, Dong Jin shouted loudly, swung his long sword in a wide arc, and then slashed diagonally.

Dong Jin is a peak seventh-rank master. Although he has been in the capital for many years and has not been on the battlefield, he has never slacked off in his martial arts training. Now he has one foot in the eighth rank.

This strike was powerful and fierce; it could cleave even the hardest boulder in two.

He wanted to see how Qin Li would stop him!

Seeing the long blade coming at him, Qin Li smiled wickedly, neither dodging nor evading.

The world's impression of him is still that he is a martial arts beginner who has countless cultivation resources but neglects to cultivate. He can bully ordinary people, but when he encounters a master, he can only get beaten up.

Little did they know, he was no longer a fourth-rank martial artist who had just transmigrated, but was now at the peak of the seventh rank!

The "Yin Yang Great Joy Technique" is perfect for him.

This is only considering that he has achieved his current power after sleeping with only a few women.

Once I have more free time, I can sleep with a few more people, and becoming a Grandmaster will be a piece of cake.

In addition, he possesses two divine-level techniques: Blood Eye Technique and Netherworld Profound Palm.

He was likely to lose to Dong Jin, who was also at the peak of the seventh rank!

Seeing that Qin Li didn't even try to dodge, Dong Jin's mouth almost split open with a grin.

Alright, I'll send you downstairs to keep Yu'er company...
