Chapter 123: Cold Ping's Fury
According to Zhao Xinghai, it's true and false. When Qin Gu fabricated this identity, the wealthy businessman had said that the real heir of the Qin family had long been extinct! The remaining branches were also fragmented and disintegrated, which is why they fabricated this identity.
So the second prince's intention is not difficult to see, he really wants to win over Qin Li!
In fact, these secular clothes would hardly be taken seriously by Qin Li.
County-level seven stages? That's even more ridiculous! Qin Li had already successfully broken through to the Heavenly level!
Don't look down on Dusty Cold having a ninth-tier strength, if he really goes all out, it's hard to say who will die in whose hands.
However, today's gain was indeed beyond Qin Li's expectation, regarding the Second Prince's kind intentions. Qin Li naturally accepted it with a smile.
Among these people, the most uncomfortable one is probably Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe. Not only did he fail to take down Qin Li, but he also made himself lose face in front of his father, the Emperor. It's truly a loss that outweighs any gain.
At noon, Emperor Zhao Yuanli held a grand feast for the officials again and allowed Qin Li to sit beside him. Even Princess Zhao Xuanxuan looked at her with some jealousy. Fortunately, Qin Li was not a woman, otherwise she would have been really jealous.
Qin Li was at a banquet. He was also rewarded with a thousand taels of gold by the emperor, and it's true that once he opened his mouth, wealth poured in!
Emperor Zhao Yuanli didn't stay for long and soon got up to leave, leaving behind the officials. Immediately, some of them came over to make friends with Qin Li, asking him questions like whether he had moved into the Marquis's mansion yet, or if there were any plans for marriage.
Qin Li remained patient and smiling, answering without getting annoyed. At this time, Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe suddenly walked over from the side, holding a cup of wine with a forced smile on his face. He looked very stiff and unnatural, and his eyes were filled with conflicting emotions.
To be honest, he never thought of bowing his head to Qin Li. He was the crown prince, the future ruler of a country! Why should he bow his head to this arrogant guy?
Today's form, he didn't fail to notice, only didn't think that his father would actually dote on him so much. Not only was he granted a marquis title and a mansion, but the Yellow Sand City was also given to this person as his fief!
Deserted city!
Just thinking about this place makes Zhao Xinghe feel like his heart is bleeding.
That sarcastic face, that cold smile, and those words: "Because you're afraid of death, so you don't dare!" Those words were like a knife, still piercing his heart with pain to this day.
Especially being slaughtered to death. The master Muyong Tian hanging on the flagpole and the white cloth with bloodstained warning signs were more like a heavy sword hanging over his head, which would fall at any time and cut off his head!
The most important thing is that damn little bastard has disappeared!
Zhao Xinghe didn't believe he would die, he must be hiding somewhere, secretly watching himself, ready to assassinate himself at any time.
This nightmare has always been with Zhao Xinghe.
Until the Great Qing Gang incident, Zhao Xinghe heard this name and subconsciously wanted to kill him. The reason was simple: even if he wasn't that Qin Li, as long as he killed him, his nightmare would be alleviated a lot!
Until he saw Qin Li at that moment, listening to his exaggerated strong accent and those sharp words, Zhao Xinghe almost directly confirmed that this person must be Qin Li!
Unfortunately, he couldn't prove it and no one believed him!
Just now, even the courtiers who have always supported him are advising him to ease his relationship with Qin Houye and not make it so stiff. Even if he can't win him over for the time being, he shouldn't become an enemy. If he really wants to kill him, he should smile on the surface and stab him in the back!
Zhao Xinghe thought about it and also felt that way, although he was certain that this Qin Li was his arch-nemesis, but still decided to listen to the opinions of those supporters of his, after all, couldn't bear to chill the hearts of those supporters.
The other two princes came over. "Duke of Qin, I had some misunderstandings with you before, and now I apologize to you, hoping that Duke of Qin will not take it to heart. From now on, let's work together. I also hope that Duke of Qin can give more support!" Zhao Xinghe said, raising his neck and finishing the wine in his hand.
The majestic crown prince, bowing his head to a marquis, let alone that his words were sincere and he even finished the wine in his cup. This was already a huge face-saving gesture for a crown prince, and he had done enough.
Many people cast their eyes on Qin Li with a playful expression. Qin Li sat in his original position and didn't stand up at all!
Just sit there. Playing with the wine cup in his hand, he had a faintly smiling expression and said lightly: "Ben Hou and Dian Xia, originally had no grudges, all along, it was also Dian Xia who was pressing him, now thinking of laughing away the past grievances? Alright, I'll ask Dian Xia one question, does Da Qing Bang have any relation with you?"
Zhao Xinghe's face suddenly changed. He wanted to speak, but saw that the current prime minister, the most powerful figure behind his back, Niu Jianfeng, was desperately making eye contact with him. Zhao Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately reacted, thinking that Qin Li was so sinister! If the king himself said something wrong, wouldn't he be caught by him instantly?
He shook his head firmly and said, "What are you talking about? I've heard of this gang before, but they're just a bunch of street thugs. How could they possibly be related to me? You must be joking, Duke Qin."
"Oh? Alright... Qin Li nodded and said lightly: "I have a feud with them, I heard that the Great Qing Gang is looking for me to take revenge. Originally thought they knew the prince, so I gave the prince a scare. Face, not pursue this matter, since it has nothing to do with the prince, then, hehe, I want to see how big the guts of these street rascals are, dare to issue a wanted order to kill me".
Qin Li said, and directly stood up. He made a fist at Zhao Xinghe: "Farewell!"
Zhao Xinghe stood there with a dumbfounded expression, unable to react for a long time. His face turned pale as he asked the person beside him, "What did he mean by that?"
Niu Jianfeng walked over, looking in the direction where Qin Lidi had left, and said thoughtfully: "From what I heard from Master Qin's words, it seems like he is trying to stir up trouble for the Green Gang."
With a sudden commotion, at least seven or eight people in the royal banquet hall looked ugly and left without saying goodbye.
These people basically all have family members in the Green Gang who are making offerings and taking shares, as soon as they heard that Qin Li wanted to find trouble with the Green Gang, where could they still sit?
Anyone can see that. This purple-faced young master. Whoever dares to move him will absolutely be finished off. Just a slight movement, the entire Green Gang will be destroyed in no time!
Leng Ping sat calmly in the central hall, where his best brother Sun Liu's coffin was placed. Behind it were forty-five coffins! This morning, he received news that Qin Li had been summoned to the palace. The message conveyed to him was to remain calm and not make any rash moves.
So Leng Ping thought of capturing Qin Li's woman, with despicable means or not, he couldn't care less anymore, avenging his brother was what mattered!
Unexpectedly, at the entrance of Qinji Dan Medicine Shop, there were actually imperial guards standing guard!
His heart was as cold as his surname at that time, thoroughly chilled!
Just then, the idle and useless members of the Green Gang who were only good at taking silver, received the hawk's message one by one, didn't say a word, and left directly!
In the end, it was a supplier who had a good relationship with him who quietly told him: Lord Leng, you'd better leave quickly. Qin Li has already been enfeoffed and will come to find you for trouble. And as for you, you've already been abandoned by the Crown Prince!
They say that the greatest sorrow is a dead heart, and at this moment, he has a feeling of having a dead heart. He can't believe that the Crown Prince would abandon him like this. The Great Qing Gang is a top-notch gang with 20,000 elite warriors and 100,000 followers!
The business of the Big Green Gang is spread across many cities in Qinglong Country, with annual revenues that are quite astonishing!
In Qin Li's eyes, 10 million taels of silver was already a large sum of money, and even for many wealthy families, 10 million taels was not a small amount. But in the Daqing Gang, 10 million taels was just the annual dividend for a high-ranking member!
The annual income of the Big Green Gang is in the tens of billions!
Such a huge income is the true purpose of Zhao Xinghe's control over the Daqing Gang! As for combat effectiveness, although the Daqing Gang's combat power is not bad, it still has a big gap compared to regular troops.
Zhao Xinghe is willing to let people associate the fighting power of Daqingbang with him, because he doesn't want to expose the fact that Daqingbang has such a huge income!
So, Leng Ping didn't believe at all that Prince would give up control of the Da Qing Gang!
Actually, he was misled, and the person who passed on the message also intentionally misled Cold Ping. Zhao Xinghe had never thought of giving up the Big Green Gang, what he gave up was only Cold Ping, just one person!
But even Zhao Xinghe underestimated Qin Li's ambition. What Qin Li wanted was far from just killing to vent his anger.
Back to the Soul Night, the evening wind is bleak, at the entrance of the Daqing Gang's General Assembly Hall, people are crowded, tonight in the entire Qinglong City, nearly two hundred big and small gang leaders have arrived! In addition to their personal bodyguards, the total number is no less than two thousand people! The Daqing Gang itself also has more than a thousand elite warriors here. From afternoon till now, Leng Ping still hasn't received any news from the Crown Prince's side.
By now, if he still doesn't know that he has been abandoned by the Crown Prince, then it would be a waste of his years as the leader of the gang.
His eyes were cold and slightly red, a fierce aura emanating from his body, causing even the members of the Green Gang to be somewhat afraid to approach him.
Great! Your Highness, and those who usually claim to share the blessings and hardships together. You've done enough, expecting me to be killed by Qin Li after that, and then replace the leader of the Green Gang again, is the Green Gang still a plaything in your hands?
Leng Ping thought to herself, her eyes reddening as a cold smile spread across the corners of her mouth: Don't even think about it!
Suddenly, Leng Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at the long street in front of the hall. From afar, a thin figure was walking towards him. A burst of astonishing killing intent suddenly erupted from his body.
Qin Li, you've finally arrived!
