An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 243 In The KY City

Perhaps it was because of the selection, Emperor Ning felt that he owed a lot to Lady Jin, so he agreed

to her request without hesitation, even if this request was somewhat difficult to accept.

Emperor Ning was afraid that Yun Shang would suffer losses at the frontier, so he sent a small group of

secret guards to follow her and obey her orders. Along with which, he also presented an imperial edict,

a golden medal, and a sacred sword that could make Yun Shang act without waiting for the Emperor's

approval. When the imperial edict arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Yun Shang was also surprised.

Although she knew Lady Jin agreed with it and it should be no problem, she didn't expect that it came

so soon.

Seeing the astonishment on the butler's face, Yun Shang worried that something unexpected would

happen if she didn't tell Prince Jing about it in time. So she asked Qian Yin to pack up her belongings

and set out with her people the next morning.

It was inconvenient for a woman to walk outside. Yun Shang changed into men's clothes, and they had

arrived at the outside of KY City after about ten days.

It seemed that the KY City hadn't been influenced by the war at all. The people in the city were still

leisurely and the street was full of people and seemed to be prosperous. Yun Shang couldn't help

frowning, feeling that this situation was somewhat strange.

Yun Shang left all her guards outside the city. When she came into the KY City, she didn't go to the Qi

Mansion directly. Instead, she found a fancy tavern and went inside.

There was no private room in the tavern, so Yun Shang sat in the hall on the second floor. After

ordering some food, Yun Shang looked up at the waiter and said with a smile, "Hello, we came from the

NX City. I heard that the KY City was fighting, so I come here to see if my business in the family is

affected. But, why does it look like that we are not fighting at all?"

The NX City was a prosperous city in the State of Ning. Yun Shang was afraid that she would say that

she came from the Imperial City to attract the attention of others, so she just made up the story

casually.

The waiter grinned and said, "You don't know? We thought we would have to close the door if the war

began. But it turned out that the people of the State of Xia are afraid of General Qi's fame. It's more

than a month now, but the soldiers of the State of Xia only dare to station dozens of miles. Only

occasionally send someone to see, like a turtle, they don't dare to come at all. I don't think we can get

into a fight. General Qi is a major general of the State of Ning. He has a strong force. I'm afraid he's as

mighty as Prince Jing."

Yun Shang put her hands on the table and talked with the waiter with a smile, "Really? I was worried

for nothing. With General Qi in charge, our KY City must be safe without mishap. "

She gave the attendant two taels of silver and sent him away. But she frowned. The leader of the State

of Xia was the Crown Prince and his counsellor was Liu Yinfeng. If she didn't know the situation of the

generals, she would believe the waiter right away. However, she heard Prince Jing mention it before,

and then she looked through some documents. Now listening to the waiter's words, the doubts in her

heart became stronger.

"Master, is General Qi really so powerful?" Dressed in casual clothes, Qian Yin stared at Yun Shang,

her eyes sparkling.

Yun Shang chuckled coldly, "Yes, of course, of course, arrogantly powerful." As well as the people in

the KY City who admired and believed him.

As the dishes were served, Yun Shang surmised what Liu Yinfeng was thinking about. He may do this

for two purposes. One was to make the guards in the other two cities on the alert to consume the

endurance of the other two city soldiers; the other was to let Qi Lang feel that since the State of Xia

was afraid of him and dared not attack him, they were more arrogant and waited for Qi Lang to relax

his vigilance. Then he would launch an attack all of a sudden, leaving Qi Lang off guard.

Yun Shang tapped her fingers on the table when a noise came from downstairs. "What did you say? No

private room? Do I, Qi Yuzhi, need to reserve an exclusive room before? Ask your shopkeeper to come

here! I'd like to know."

"Calm down, master! I'll ask someone to prepare a room. Please wait here... I'll prepare some tea for

you." The shopkeeper said in an obsequious voice.

Qi Yuzhi...

Yun Shang turned to look downstairs, and saw a young man standing downstairs. He was dressed in

purple, and had a folding fan in his hand. He was a handsome boy, but his eyes were full of arrogance

and contempt when he looked at the shopkeeper. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Qi Yuzhi, the third son of Qi Lang, was 21 years old with no wife. There were more than 20 concubines

in the clan. He was arrogant and domineering, which was called as a bully in the KY City. But because

his father was Qi Lang, not many people dared to offend him.

The waiter went upstairs in a hurry and knocked on the door one by one. After he went in and asked

about the details, a man in one of the rooms came out, looking unhappy.

The shopkeeper ushered Qi Yuzhi into the room.

"Come on, it's just because he has a father who is the general. Don't be so rude. You said there was no

private room here, and that's all. Since when did you have one after Qi Yuzhi came?" A man's voice

resounded from downstairs in the hall.

Yun Shang glanced at the man, and saw an unhappy expression on his face. The shopkeeper came

forward in a hurry and apologized, "Please forgive me, Mr. Li. We really have no other choice. If Mr. Qi

gets angry, we can't afford it."

The dishes were served. Yun Shang didn't look at them any more. While eating, she studied the

expressions of the people in the tavern. She saw a lady wearing a veil walking in with a musical

instrument in her arms. Although she didn't see the lady's face, she was curvy and graceful. Yun Shang

saw Her raise her head and look upstairs with an enchanting look.

As soon as the woman entered the tavern, she attracted many people's attention. Yun Shang heard the

banter from the man in fine clothes downstairs. "Well, the woman looks nice. Look at her figure and her

eyebrows, she must be a very beautiful lady. Beauty, you are here to play the instrument, so play a

song for my brother, what do you think?"

The crowd burst into laughter, but the woman looked at the man casually, and then walked to the stairs

with the instrument in her arms. The man in splendid clothes's desk, the crowd started to talk, "Brother

Li, look at you. You are not charming enough. This beautiful girl doesn't even talk to you."

The man froze, and there was a flicker of anger in his eyes. He stood up and pulled the woman, saying

coldly, "Didn't you hear me?"

The woman stopped, turned around and bowed to the man. "Master, someone wants me to play the

instrument. Please don't embarrass me."

Her voice was soft and seductive.

Mr. Li snorted, "who invited you? I'll double the price. But you have to play for me. "

"Master, the hall is noisy, and I can't even hear the music played. If you like me, you can come to the

Yaoyue Pavilion to find me. I have to go upstairs." The woman was about to go upstairs, but Mr. Li

didn't give up. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to the table where he sat, "I want to hear it now."

The woman's eyes flashed with anger, but she was pulled by Mr. Li and stumbled over.

Yun Shang noticed that a servant walked out of Qi Yuzhi's room and went upstairs. The servant pulled

the curtain, saying, "Yue Niang, Mister is still waiting. What are you doing there?"

Mr. Li looked up at the servant and frowned. "It's Mr. Qi who asked you to play?"

The woman nodded and said, "yes."

Mister Li still didn't let her go. He raised his head to look at the servant and said, "I saw this woman

first."

The servant glanced at Mr. Li with disdain and walked into the room. A moment later, the door was

slammed open, and with a bang, Qi Yuzhi rushed out in anger. Behind him were several sturdy

servants. "Which bastard dares to grab my woman?"

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw what was happening in the hall. He snorted coldly, "Li Qian,

are you insane? Beat him for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his servant jumped down from the second floor, grabbed Mr. Li's

hand, and pinched it so hard that Mr. Li's face was a little distorted in pain. "Qi Yuzhi, if you dare touch

me, my father will not spare you."

"Hahaha! Tell me that you won't spare me easily, and I'll still hit you today. Well, if you have guts, ask

your father to punish me. I'm not afraid! Hit him to death! "

Everyone in the tavern kept screaming. After a while, Mr. Li picked himself up and huddled on the

ground motionless. Yun Shang guessed that Mr. Li was dead. Qi Yuzhi then stopped and snorted

coldly, "You deserve it." Then he called the woman in veil, "Yue Niang, go upstairs."

The woman held the instrument in her arms and hastened upstairs. Then she followed Qi Yuzhi into the

room with her head down.

Qian Yin closed her mouth and said, "Your... Master... How could he be so lawless... "

Yun Shang sneered, "Lawless? I'm afraid that in the KY City, Qi Lang would regard himself as a law."

After the meal, Yun Shang wandered around the city and then went out of the city. She got her palace

clothes back and asked the hidden guards to find a carriage which looked very magnificent. After

getting on the carriage, she let half of her secret guards sneak into the city and half followed the

carriage. After that, she went into the city and went to General Qi's Mansion.
