Chapter 1324 Disguise
"How have you been living in Jian'an City recently?" Prince Zhao asked with a smile.
"I live well! It's all thanks to Prince Zhao's great blessing."
Prince Zhao was very satisfied with Qin Yan's attitude. He hummed and said, "Okay, as long as you are satisfied."
After chatting with Prince Zhao for a while, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please take the seat of the birthday star."
Prince Zhao stood up and strode towards the birthday boy's position.
Qin Yan and the other three princes immediately stood up and followed Prince Zhao.
There were three generals beside each marquis. Prince Zhao sat on the seat of the birthday boy, and the master of ceremonies immediately shouted loudly: "A toast to the birthday boy!"
Before Qin Yan could take action, Marquis An Guo rushed out first, picked up a glass of wine and said to Prince Zhao with great respect: "Your Majesty, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
Prince Zhao picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Marquis Nanyang also stepped forward to toast Prince Zhao.
It was Qin Yan's turn for the third time. When Qin Yan toasted Prince Zhao, he took out a spiritual power pill: "Your Majesty, this is a pill I got at an accidental auction. It is said to be full of spiritual power. It can help people improve their strength. Now I will give this elixir to you. I hope you will be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
As soon as the elixir was taken out, it exuded a stream of fairy spirit. Everyone could tell at a glance that this elixir was extraordinary.
Prince Zhao picked up the elixir and put it under his nose. A stream of spiritual energy swished into Prince Zhao's nostrils. Prince Zhao felt a sense of comfort all over his body.
He stuffed the elixir into his mouth and ate it. The elixir melted in his mouth, and his spiritual power melted into Prince Zhao's limbs and bones in an instant.
Prince Zhao suddenly felt that his whole body was filled with soul power: "Okay, this is indeed a good elixir."
Prince Zhao cheered loudly.
"As long as the prince likes it, I will pay tribute to the prince when I get this elixir next time. I hope the prince is as blessed as the East China Sea and lives longer than the Southern Mountains."
Hearing Qin Yan's words, Prince Zhao was very happy. He patted Qin Yan on the shoulder and said, "Jining, you are such a good prince. I am very satisfied with you."
At this time, Manager Wang was also at the prince's side, saying good things to Qin Yan: "Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Ji is very respectful to you. He even hangs your portrait in his home and pays homage to you all the time."
"Really, there is such a thing?"
Hearing Manager Wang's words, Prince Zhao was extremely surprised. He did not expect Qin Yan to be so respectful to him.
Before Qin Yan came, An Guohou had been cursing Qin Yan in Prince Zhao's ears, saying that Qin Yan was bad at all.
The prince felt that Qin Yan was definitely not a good person, and he even had murderous intentions towards Qin Yan.
But now the prince's view of Qin Yan has changed, because Qin Yan is too respectful to him, which makes him feel that Qin Yan treats him better than An Guohou.
Although An Guohou often said that he respected Prince Zhao very much, An Guohou always gave very few gifts to Prince Zhao.
If Prince Zhao hadn't been because An Guohou was his right-hand man, he would have reprimanded An Guohou loudly.
Seeing how happy Prince Zhao was, Qin Yan continued to flatter him respectfully: "What I have today is all because of Prince Zhao, so I naturally have to be respectful to Prince Zhao."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yan said to Prince Zhao: "I am not like some people who say they respect the prince, but are never willing to pay tribute to the prince."
Having said this, Qin Yan looked at An Guohou.
Prince Zhao knew what Qin Yan meant, so he immediately nodded and snorted coldly.
When An Guohou heard Qin Yan's words, he naturally knew that Qin Yan was talking about him. His face instantly became extremely ugly. At the same time, he thought to himself: Ji Ning, you bastard, you actually dare to scold me in front of the prince. , see how I deal with you in the future.
Originally, An Guohou wanted to encourage Prince Zhao to kill Qin Yan, but now he felt it was impossible and he had to do it himself.
"Okay, let's have a dinner!" Prince Zhao waved his hand and said.
The music sounded immediately, and a group of dancers came in from outside the door. They danced gracefully and started dancing in the center of the hall.
Seeing these dancing girls, An Guohou sneered in his heart, and he planted assassins to assassinate Qin Yan among these dancing girls.
Of course, this was all approved by Prince Zhao.
When Manager Wang saw this scene, he immediately lowered his voice and said in Prince Zhao's ear: "Your Majesty, since Ji Ning is so respectful to you, do you think it is necessary to kill him?"
Only then did Prince Zhao remember that he had arranged this moment among the dancers.
Prince Zhao turned his head and said to Manager Wang: "If you call another dancer over, you must stop her at this moment, otherwise you will lose a prince who is loyal to me."
Manager Wang nodded and left immediately.
After a while, another dancer came in. She blended in with the many dancers and danced with them.
The assassin saw the opportunity, drew his sword and stabbed Qin Yan.
The dancer arranged by Manager Wang also drew her sword and blocked the assassin's way.
The assassin was a little confused and didn't know what was going on, so he started fighting with the opponent.
Seeing this, An Guohou opened his eyes wide and also couldn't figure out what happened.
In order to save the day, Manager Wang pointed at the two dancers and said, "Master Marquis, does it look good? This is Wu Zhongwu."
Prince Zhao knew that Manager Wang was trying to smooth things over and immediately said, "Not bad, not bad."
Qin Yan had long seen that this was directed at him, but he didn't say anything, and he laughed loudly and clapped at the same time: "Your Majesty, the program arranged by Mr. Wang is really great."
Manager Wang smiled and said, "Master Hou, you have given me the reward."
The banquet ended soon, and Marquis An Guo came to the prince: "My lord, why did you change your mind? Don't you want to kill Ji Ning? This guy is very ambitious. He first killed General Yao, and then Marquis Jian'an. In the end, General Wu was forced to death. Such a person will reach out to you sooner or later. I think you should kill him as soon as possible!"
The prince sneered; "If I remember correctly, you first annexed a general beside you, and then assassinated the former An Guohou to come to me, right?"
Hearing the prince's words, An Guohou was stunned.
In fact, the history of An Guohou is not glorious. Just like Qin Yan, he first killed the generals around him and then killed his immediate boss, Lord Hou.
But one thing is different between An Guohou and Qin Yan. He is really loyal to the prince, but Qin Yan is different. Sooner or later, Qin Yan will kill Prince Zhao and avenge Wan Jun.
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will go down first." An Guohou sighed in his heart, feeling that the prince would not believe him no matter what he said.
The prince nodded: "Go down! Remember, don't look for trouble with Ji Ning."
