I really became a king.

Chapter 107: In front of the Bullfighting Army Camp

They galloped along the way, whipping the horse's whip, followed closely by Jiang Zhongshan's hundreds of bodyguards. The rumbling sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the official road, and many merchants and porters passing by quickly moved aside.

"Who is this? Why is he so domineering?" Someone said angrily, brushing off the dust on his body.

The person next to him glanced at him and said unwillingly, "Why are you being so arrogant? This is an official road, it's very wide, you can ride a horse and gallop."

"That's right. Otherwise, how can we convey military intelligence?" someone nearby echoed.

The man at first was a little dazed, feeling as if he had angered everyone. As a foot merchant from outside the area, he dared not offend these local residents.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, I was too outspoken. I wonder who that person is?"

"Haha..." Another traveling merchant came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's normal for you outsiders not to know, but listen carefully, this is our Dali's Prince Yi!"

“Prince Yi? But that Prince Yi who made a stunning debut at the Dragon Gate Arena and then defeated all the secular sects at the Dharma Gate Conference?”

"What do you think? There are still a few Prince Yi in the Dali Dynasty and even in the entire Manghuang Continent!" A porter with sweat all over his forehead responded while walking and turning his head back.

The man who complained first bowed and smiled apologetically to the people around him: "Yes, yes, I was too blunt. I'm sorry, please forgive me..."

“Haha, I’m glad to know.” The man next to him wiped the sand and dirt that Jiang Yi and his entourage had splashed on his face with a towel, and said with a smile: “If someone else dared to do this, I would have to curse him behind his back, but this Prince Yi… hehe, it’s okay!”

The people passing by laughed in good faith. The man also laughed on the surface, but he was excited and expectant at the same time. He thought to himself, "My master's prestige is higher than I thought. It seems that my choice was right!"

Back at the Bull Fighting Army camp, the atmosphere was somewhat weird.

In front of the camp gate, there were dozens of generals in armor in the front, and behind them were more than a thousand soldiers in neat formation.

A hundred meters to the left of the camp gate is a courtyard covering several acres. Two groups of people are standing there, clearly separated by their expressions.

This courtyard was originally a temporary supply station for the Bull Fighting Army camp. Because the military camp was an important location, normal supplies could not be delivered directly to the camp and could only be transferred here.

After the Dharma Gate Conference, it was vacated to house those warriors whose martial arts foundations were abolished. After all, this place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital, so it can avoid a lot of discussions.

"Haha, why do you have to stay here? He is just using you to make money." A well-dressed young man stood there and said something.

Opposite him were dozens of pale-faced people, who were the warriors whose martial arts foundation had been abolished at the Dharma Conference.

Hearing this, none of the dozens of warriors said anything, but just stood there quietly. However, the bitterness on their faces became obviously more intense, making their already pale complexions even paler.

Jiang Shihuai tried his best to keep a friendly smile on his face and to suppress the violent temper in his heart. He was a prince, and he had been humble for such a long time, but the people opposite him still did not show any reaction.

"Let's trick you into coming here first, and then we'll give you a good beating later!" Having made up his mind, Jiang Shihuai continued kindly:
"I am the heir of Prince Zhong's mansion. How could I deceive you? I am grateful for your courage at the Dharma Conference and want to help you."

When he mentioned the words "Prince Zhong's Mansion", a hint of hidden pride flashed in his eyes.

Good times will always come after bad times, and when good fortune comes, nothing can stop it. After the Battle of Longmen, Prince Zhong's Mansion became the Empress Dowager's venting bag, and even my father was stripped of his position as the Grand Commander of the "Kui Camp".

At that time, Prince Zhong's mansion was really in decline, and they lived in fear, fearing that their usual enemies would take the opportunity to retaliate. Fortunately, nothing happened. Although their mansion was in decline, it had always been peaceful.

A few days ago, after the Dharma Conference ended, the father and son, who had been neglected for two years, were summoned by the Queen again. After a long talk, it seemed that they were being re-employed. How could they not be excited?

What made him most proud was that the Empress Dowager personally put pressure on my father and insisted that I become the crown prince. After some hesitation, my father agreed.

With an imperial decree, he officially became the prince of Prince Zhong's Mansion.

The first thing he did after becoming the crown prince was to drive his elder brother, who had been in seclusion, out of the secret room and directly sent him to the cold courtyard.

A useless person who was disabled and unable to practice martial arts in the past, relying on the mercy of the Imperial Grandmother and the King, has been the Crown Prince for so many years. He has enjoyed all the benefits he should have. What right does he have to enjoy so many resources!

Today is the first task that the Empress Dowager gave him after appointing him as the Crown Prince, so it must be completed!

"What are you waiting for? How can the Vein Shaping Pill be obtained so easily?"

"Even if I get one or two occasionally, it will never be your turn!" Jiang Shihuai was already extremely impatient. This was his third time here, and he had only taken two people away before, which was far from meeting the requirements of the Empress Dowager.
"I believe you all know that yesterday, Prince Yi personally sent a Vein Shaping Pill to Prince Su's son Jiang Hai." Jiang Shihuai smiled and continued:
"This is probably the only one he got from the bounty in the past few days. Even if there are one or two more, it will definitely not be your turn!"

"Don't forget, there are also Jiang Shang, Jiang Chuan and other royal children. Even Jiang Xuehen is far more valuable than you. Why should I give it to you?" Jiang Shihuai didn't say a word, and the faces of dozens of warriors opposite him turned pale.

Dozens of armored generals watching from afar had their brows furrowed. One of them asked the three leaders, "If we just stand there and watch, and he really instigates us, how are we going to explain to the prince?"

The leader, with a beard longer than his neck and a gentle manner, said with a smile, "Don't worry. If he succeeds in inciting us, it won't be too late for us to take action."

"That's right. No matter what, we can't let him take anyone away today!" said the second middle-aged general in charge. He was not good-looking, but his eyes flashed with wisdom.

"How to stop it?" The last burly man with half a beard and thick eyebrows asked in a silly voice.

"How else can we stop them? We will just knock them all down naturally!" the plain-looking man replied.

"Okay, I like it!" The burly man licked his lips, seeming to be looking forward to it.

"What do you think, Commander Lin?" The gentle man with a long beard turned and asked the old general in golden armor beside him.

"Yes!" The old general in golden armor said little, but was calm and measured. At his signal, more than a thousand armored soldiers behind him put their hands on their swords.

Jiang Shihuai didn't notice these, but a general behind him swallowed subconsciously, looked at the hundreds of guards behind him, and smiled bitterly.

When they came to ask for it, he suggested that the prince bring more people, and it would be better if the Queen sent her confidants to take charge, but he was rejected. It seemed that they were sure that the Bull Fighting Army would not dare to take action. After all, they took two people away in full view of everyone a few days ago.

"Alas..." With a light sigh, the general suppressed his dissatisfaction.

The Bull Fighting Cavalry roamed the nine borders, which was no match for the fancy personal soldiers in Prince Zhong's Mansion. Moreover, he always felt that the new prince in front of him took things for granted.

If a conflict really broke out, I'm afraid that my hundreds of personal guards wouldn't be able to stop even the hundred of the other side.
