I really became a king.

Chapter 32 The Dignity of Prince Duan's Mansion Cannot Be Lost

Faced with Jiang Yi's sudden question, Jiang Zhongshan was naturally surprised, and thought to himself, could it be true as the rumors outside said, that the young prince of Prince Duan's Mansion, who was once moody and tyrannical, has changed?

He couldn't help but think of a sentence his wife often mentioned in the letters she wrote to him in the past two years: Although life has been hard in the past two years, it is much better than before.

The biggest reason for this is that the sixth brother in front of him no longer pays attention to them, the illegitimate sons, as he did before.

"Since Father has already made the arrangements, it is entirely up to Sixth Brother to decide."

Jiang Yi nodded. He had to win over this illegitimate elder brother because he knew that he was a low-key and non-aggressive person, but extremely loyal. Of course, he was loyal to the Prince Duan's Mansion.

In his previous life, after Jiang Zhongbao took charge of Prince Duan's Mansion, he invited a wolf into the house, and colluded with Jiang Se and his son to do all kinds of bad things, making the entire Prince Duan's Mansion a mess and losing its dignity.

Even so, the other party did their best to work for Jiang Zhongbao, simply because Jiang Zhongbao was the only one who could support the Duan Prince's family business.

In his eyes, Prince Duan's Mansion is heaven, and it doesn't matter to him what is good and what is evil. He did the same in his previous life. Under the instigation of Jiang Zhongbao, he did countless bad things and became a villain who was cursed by many people, but he never complained.

Jiang Yi must subdue this kind of person. If used well, he can be the sharpest knife in his hand. In this life, Jiang Yi will never let him be this villain again.

"What do you brothers think about this?" Jiang Yi looked at the rest of them.

"Of course, the decision is entirely up to my sixth brother." The chubby third brother Jiang Zhongshu said as a matter of course.

"Yes, yes, let Sixth Brother make the decision." The pale-faced fifth brother, Jiang Zhongren, nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yi turned his gaze to the fourth brother who had not said a word. He seemed like an outsider from beginning to end, but Jiang Yi, who had the memories of his past life, knew that this was a proud and taciturn person with a deep heart.

In his previous life, Jiang Zhongbao let a wolf into the house, causing the dignity of Prince Duan's Mansion to be destroyed, and the other party disappeared.

"It's fine anyway. I have no opinion."

Jiang Yi looked at him and continued, "Why doesn't Fourth Brother practice martial arts?"

“I’m really not interested in that.”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "After this crisis is over, Fourth Brother, you may want to come and see me. I think I have something that Fourth Brother might be interested in."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhongzhi, who had been calm all along, showed a slight change in expression and replied, "Thank you, Sixth Brother. Fourth Brother will definitely visit you when the time comes."

Jiang Zhongchi, who had been left aside, finally came to his senses. Feeling flustered, he asked:
"What exactly is your plan, Sixth Brother? Prince Zhong and the Emperor's uncle will be unhappy if they get impatient."

Jiang Yi sighed secretly and said, "Second brother, do you really think that Prince Zhong will wholeheartedly help you and my Prince Duan's Mansion?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily: "Childish! Ridiculous!"

With a "bang", the teacup on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The originally harmonious atmosphere in Jingqi Hall was instantly broken.

Except for the fourth brother Jiang Zhongzhi, everyone present felt a shock in their hearts, wondering if the sixth brother who made them fear him like a poisonous snake has returned again?
"There is no free lunch in the world. Why would Prince Zhong help you? Why would he help Prince Duan's Mansion?"

"Why is he coming here to take charge? The Prince Duan's Mansion is more prestigious than his Prince Zhong's Mansion, so why does he need to come here to take charge?"

"He has ulterior motives and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to take over Prince Duan's mansion!"

"The world is talking about this, where is the dignity of Prince Duan's Mansion?"

"Father is not dead yet. How can you put his face down by doing this!" "If that really happens, I, you, you... all of us will become playthings in the hands of Prince Zhong and his son!"

"Don't you know who our uncle is? If he really wants to move into Prince Duan's mansion, your wives and concubines will be at his mercy!"

"The backyard of Prince Duan's Mansion will become the harem of Jiang Se and his son!"

Jiang Yi's series of angry shouts instantly made the Jingqi Hall silent. Everyone present turned pale, including the fourth brother who had been acting as if it was none of his business.

If it is true as Jiang Yi said, Prince Duan's Mansion will be completely disgraced and they will live worse than pigs and dogs!

Jiang Yi was not exaggerating. In his previous life, Jiang Zhongbao had been barely surviving for several years after he let the wolf into the house, and even Jiang Zhongbao was living with his tail between his legs, let alone everyone present.

"How...how is it possible, how...how dare he!" Jiang Zhongchi said palely.

"Haha, don't dare? If he does that, who will care? The Empress Dowager? Or our grandfather? If someone really cares, this Longmen Arena won't exist!" Jiang Yi scolded coldly.

Jiang Zhongchi's mind suddenly flashed with some strange words that the other party had said to him, as well as the weird smile when he said these words, and he suddenly collapsed on the armchair.

Except for Jiang Zhongbao, none of Prince Duan's sons were particularly evil. Moreover, he had promised Princess Duan, Mu Xiruo, that he would treat Prince Duan's sons well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi sighed, his tone became calm, and said to Jiang Zhongchi:
"Second brother, do you know why our Prince Duan's Mansion is facing the danger of Longmen Tournament?"

Then he squinted his lips and continued, "It's just because Jiang Se and his son came to me before and made these excessive requests implicitly, and I refused!"

"You all know that the Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace this morning. It was basically the same idea, but I still refused!"

"Then the news about Longmen Tournament spread..."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, the entire Jingqi Hall became eerily quiet.

Glancing at the people present, Jiang Yi stood up and walked out of the hall silently. The people who didn't know what was going on also stood up and followed him.

"Have you seen this plaque?" Jiang Yi raised his head and pointed at a large plaque with a green background. It was surrounded by four tigers and had three large characters "Jieqitang" written on it.

"This plaque was earned by my father after decades of fighting and bloodshed. Countless people look up to it and stand in awe!"

"It represents not only the glory of Prince Duan's Mansion, but also the face of my father!"

Jiang Yi put one hand behind his back and pointed at the entire Prince Duan's Mansion with the other hand, saying: "The dignity of Prince Duan's Mansion cannot be lost!"

It was still the Jingqi Hall, but there were only two people left, Jiang Yi and the boss Jiang Zhongshan.

"I wonder if Sixth Brother has asked me to stay here because of something he wants me to do for you?" Jiang Zhongshan had already given Jiang Yi a preliminary nod after what had just happened.

Looking at the mountain-like Jiang Zhongchi, Jiang Yi knew that the other party had a good talent in martial arts. Currently in his thirties, he had reached the peak of the fourth realm and was only one step away from the fifth realm.

Among the royal children, although he is not the top one, he is also in the upper middle level. Moreover, he is a concubine's son and has very few resources for cultivation compared to the real royal children.

"Brother, I plan to let you take charge of the 10,000 Bull Fighting Cavalry outside the Imperial Capital!"
