Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Mr. Thirteen was still a little excited.

Your Highness has hardly used the Miaoyinfang intelligence organization since its establishment.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Li Chengyuan formally assigned them a task.

So Mr. Thirteen swore secretly.

The first mission must be done well, and we must strive for a good start. We must not let His Highness down!

"And!" Li Chengyuan continued, "Fan Xian has already arrived in Beijing. Recently, you have sent people to secretly monitor him. If anything happens, remember to inform me immediately.

Well, Fan Xian is quite skilled in martial arts and is very vigilant. You should be careful to hide. It’s better to lose him than to expose your whereabouts!

There is also Niulan Street, where big things might happen.

So from now on, you must send people to stay around Niulan Street, taking turns to guard it around the clock. If there is any sign of trouble, report to me immediately!"

"I understand, I'll do it in a moment!"

"Well! That's all there is to do. You guys go ahead and do it first!" Li Chengyuan said and stood up to leave.

"Your Highness, your list!" Just at this time, Gong Yu had also copied the list and then gave the manuscript to Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan took the list, ruffled Gong Yu's hair, and said softly, "Be careful and protect yourselves. I'm leaving first!"

"Your Highness, walk slowly!"

Gong Yu looked at Li Chengyuan's back, her eyes filled with reluctance!

Chapter 57: Wang Qinian takes the initiative to plead guilty! Youweixuan in Kyoto City!

When Li Chengyuan returned to the palace, it was already completely dark.

However, the lights in the palace were still bright.

Everyone was waiting for Li Chengyuan to return home.

As soon as Li Chengyuan returned home, the palace instantly became lively.

Sweet Potato asked the servants to start preparing the barbecue. We would have barbecue tonight!

Green Ant and Blue Bird prepare various fruit wines together.

Cucumbers are prepared as snacks or staple foods.

Sang Wen helped Li Chengyuan wash and change clothes.

After a while, Li Chengyuan, Lao Huang and the five girls started a lively dinner in the garden next to the backyard.

There was no one else at the scene except a barbecue cook.

Because it is already spring, the weather is not cold at night. On the contrary, the smell of the early spring soil is particularly pleasant.

It has been a busy day today and Li Chengyuan is tired.

So I thought about getting drunk with Lao Huang.

However, not long after they had been drinking, someone suddenly flew into the mansion.

No need to ask, just by looking at his lightness skills, you can tell that it is Wang Qinian who is coming!

"Hehehe, Your Highness, Qi Nian came here just by smelling the scent!"

As soon as Wang Qinian landed, he came to Li Chengyuan's side as smoothly as a ghost.

Old Huang handed over a skewer of meat. Wang Qinian thanked him and happily took it.

"Hmm~! Smells good! Really smells good! Your Highness, the barbecue here is still the best!"

While eating the meat, Wang Qinian turned to Hongshu and said with a chuckle, "Miss Hongshu, could you please help me put more pork belly on it later? My daughter loves pork belly!"

Sweet Potato smiled and replied, "Okay!"

"Hey, thank you, Miss Sweet Potato. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell Qinian!"

Sweet Potato smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you're welcome!"

While eating, Li Chengyuan handed Lao Wang a glass of wine and asked, "Lao Wang, is there something you want to talk to me about this time?"

"Hehe, I knew that nothing could be hidden from Your Highness!" Wang Qinian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, how about you let me eat for a while first? I'll report back to you after I finish. Otherwise, I'm afraid that after I finish, I won't have an appetite anymore!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "I'm fine with that! It's up to you! Anyway, if you feel that the things on your mind won't prevent you from eating and drinking, then just finish eating first!"

"......." After hearing this, Wang Qinian suddenly found it difficult to swallow the wine at his lips. "No... Your Highness, I could have eaten another 15, but now that you've said that, I really have no appetite!"

Li Chengyuan laughed and said, "Then tell me! Or tell me while eating!"

"Alright! Then I'll speak first!" Wang Qinian put down his wine with a bitter face, then said to Li Chengyuan with a drooping brow, "Your Highness, I'm here to apologize!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over curiously.

Li Chengyuan was also surprised and asked, "Apologize? What's the matter? Why are you saying it so seriously?"

Wang Qinian sighed, "Your Highness, let me be clear! This is truly not my fault. I had no choice. Now that you've heard what I've said, please don't chase me away. As long as you don't chase me away, I'll accept any fine you give me!"

Good guy!

Li Chengyuan was really shocked!

Is it that serious?

Even Wang Qinian, a stingy man, is willing to be fined?

How serious a crime has Lao Wang committed?

Li Chengyuan was puzzled and said, "Alright, tell me what you did wrong first. Don't worry, as long as it's not a matter of principle, I can let it go!"

"Then...what if it's a matter of principle?" Wang Qinian said cautiously.

Li Chengyuan said speechlessly: "You speak first!"

"Alright!" Wang Qinian gritted his teeth and finally said, "Your Highness, this is what happened. A few days ago, our dean wrote me a letter, asking me to follow the new young master of the Fan family and work for him in the future!"

Li Chengyuan nodded as he listened and said, "Yeah, then what?"

"Huh?" Wang Qinian was stunned. "What then? There's nothing else!"

"......." Li Chengyuan was stunned. "What do you mean there's nothing else? Didn't you make a mistake? What about your mistake?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Wang Qinian explained, "Your Highness, our dean clearly wants me to be Fan Xian's retainer! But I'm your retainer now. If I were to become Fan Xian's retainer, wouldn't that be like a servant serving two masters? Isn't that a principled mistake? How serious is this problem!"

Li Chengyuan was at a loss for words after hearing this and said, "You scared me. I thought you'd made some big mistake! So this is it!"

This time it was Wang Qinian's turn to be confused.

"No... Your Highness, I'm serving as someone else's retainer. Aren't you angry?"

"Hmm!" Li Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "In principle, if you defect to someone else, I will definitely be angry and will kick you out of Prince Li's mansion. However, Fan Xian is an exception!"

"???" Wang Qinian was surprised, delighted, and puzzled when he heard this. He said, "Your Highness, I don't quite understand. Why is Fan Xian an exception? Don't you dislike him? I heard you beat him up in the street today!"

"These are two different things!" Li Chengyuan said, "My beating of Fan Xian doesn't conflict with you doing things for him!"

"So you mean you agree to me working for Fan Xian?"

"That's right!" Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "Old Wang, I've said before that although you are my retainer, on the surface, you are just a clerk in the Inspection Office.

So, from now on, no matter what task Chen Pingping or Fan Xian assigns you, just do it with all your heart and don't worry about me.

Especially Fan Xian, you can assist him wholeheartedly!

Believe me, he's a good guy, you'll have a bright future if you follow him!"

"???" Wang Qinian felt something was wrong the more he listened. "No, Your Highness, from what I hear, it feels like you don't want me anymore."

"No!" Li Chengyuan said again, feeling both amused and helpless: "It's not that I don't want you... Never mind, let me put it this way. From now on, the task I'm giving you is the same as Chen Pingping's, which is to assist Fan Xian and obey his orders.

Even if Fan Xian asks you to assassinate me, you must agree without hesitation and give him advice wholeheartedly, understand?"

"I don't understand!" Wang Qinian was almost crying. "Your Highness, I'm terrified by your mission. Why did you let Fan Xian assassinate you?

Please tell me the truth, is Fan Xian your friend or your enemy?

"How should I put it?" Li Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "Fan Xian and I must be enemies now, but we may be friends in the future!

Anyway, that's what I mean. From now on, just follow Fan Xian and you don't have to worry about the tasks on my side.

I will continue to pay your monthly allowance, and if your daughter gets hungry, you can always come and get her something to eat. Just don't let Fan Xian know!"

After listening to this, Wang Qinian said with a troubled look on his face, "Your Highness, I'm still a little uneasy. Could you please tell me who this Fan Xian is?"

Hearing this, Li Chengyuan looked at Wang Qinian with a half-smile and said, "Are you sure you want to listen? This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid that after you hear this, your dean will kill you to silence you!"

"Hiss!" Wang Qinian was immediately frightened. "It's so serious, I won't listen anymore!"

As he was speaking, Wang Qinian turned around and suddenly found that Lao Huang and the women on the other side were still eating and drinking as usual, as if they were not surprised at all by the conversation between them.

Wang Qinian saw this scene and understood something. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do they know the secret you mentioned?"

"Yeah!" Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "I told them!"

"That's not right!" Wang Qinian said, "Aren't they afraid of being silenced by the dean?"

"What do you think?" Li Chengyuan said speechlessly, "They are my people. How dare your dean kill my people?"

"Then I am yours too!"

Li Chengyuan blurted out, "You're mine at night, and Chen Pingping's during the day!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengyuan immediately realized something was wrong.

Why does this sound weird?

But Wang Qinian understood.

Looking at Lao Huang and the others, Wang Qinian said with a bitter face: "Oh, I wish I was also His Highness's man during the day!"

"Okay! Stop! Let's end this topic here!" Li Chengyuan hurriedly stopped.

My goodness, if I continue this, things will completely change.

Wang Qinian drank a sip of wine in frustration, then said helplessly, "Alright, then I will follow your instructions and assist Fan Xian diligently.

Your Highness, we have an agreement that I am only doing what you ordered.

If one day Fan Xian and I really come to assassinate you, you can't turn your back on Xiao Nian Nian!"

Li Chengyuan said disdainfully, "Alright! Got it! Look at you, you're like an abandoned widow!"
