I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 22 Showdown
Li Hongcheng was a considerate brother. When he got off the boat, he did not forget to ask the maid at the bow to drive the boat.

Watching the boat slowly leaving the riverbank, Zhou Dewang couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity for such a beautiful woman."

Hearing this, and thinking of Zhou Dewang's pig-like appearance on the boat, Li Hongcheng immediately turned his head and said coldly: "Zhou Dewang, do you want to die?"

Don’t be fooled by people saying that his cousin is a loser, in fact, he is not a simple cousin.

Li Hongcheng was not sure what was difficult about it, but it was enough for him to know that Li Chengzong would take over the Zongzheng Temple in the future.

The Zongzheng Temple was one of the Nine Ministers' offices. It was not considered important by the civil and military officials in the court because it was not involved much in court affairs.

But as the son of the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Li Hongcheng was very clear about the importance of the Minister of Zongzheng Temple.

If the Emperor of Qing Kingdom does not intervene, once a member of the royal family is selected as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, he will be equivalent to the patriarch of the Li royal family.

The key point is that his father once mentioned vaguely that the emperor originally appointed this cousin as the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple in order to let him take on the important task of supporting the Qing Kingdom.

In other words, His Majesty values ​​the Third Prince very much, and his importance is no less than that of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and is even slightly higher.

Look at the situation tonight, Si Lili will be his cousin's woman in the future, how dare a mere son of a marquis dare to dream about it?
The key point is that in his words, he seemed to think that his cousin was unworthy, which was simply a slap in the face of the Daqing royal family.

Although Zhou Dewang didn't know how he had offended the Prince of Jing, he still directly pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Li Hongcheng snorted coldly: "Some things and some people are not worth your attention!"

Seeing Li Hongcheng walk away, Zhou Dewang looked confused and asked in a low voice, "What does he mean by this?"

"Do you like Miss Si Lili?"

"You don't like it?" Zhou Dewang turned to look at Liu Linjie and said as a matter of course: "Who among the young men in Kyoto doesn't like Miss Si Lili?"

Liu Linjie nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook his head and suddenly asked, "Don't you think that Mr. Li Xiu looks like someone?"

"Like who?"

Without waiting for Liu Linjie to answer, Zhou Dewang asked again in confusion: "Speaking of which, who is Li Xiu? Why are you so polite to him?"

Everyone says that Guo Baokun of the Guo family is a fool, but now it seems that Zhou Dewang of the Zhou family is no worse than him, even worse than Guo Baokun.

Young Master Liu shook his head and left.

Fortunately, Guo Baokun had not left yet and answered his doubts.

"Like your majesty."

The face of Emperor Qing appeared in my mind, and then I thought about the face of the man on the boat. I couldn’t say that they were similar, I could only say that they were a younger version of Emperor Qing.

Zhou Dewang suddenly realized and exclaimed: "It's Li Chengzong?!"

Guo Baokun suddenly found that Zhou Dewang was a little stupid. No, very stupid. He actually called the Third Prince's name in public. Isn't this asking for trouble?

So he left in a hurry without even saying hello, as if he was afraid of being infected by Zhou Dewang's stupidity.

Zhou Dewang ignored him and instead looked at the pleasure boat in the river, his eyes full of hatred.

In fact, he and Li Chengzong had little in common. Although they had met several times when they were studying at the Imperial Academy, they had no grudges against each other.

The reason why he disliked Li Chengzong had to do with the warm pot banquet in the palace.

The prince's palace invited the sons of Qing's nobles to the pot-warming banquet, but Zhou Dewang, who was also born in a marquis' family, was not among them. Naturally, he was ridiculed by other sons of noble families afterwards, so he hated Li Chengzong.

Today, Li Chengzong stole his beloved girl again, which made him even more angry.

"Li Chengzong, you wait for me!"

On the other side, on the pleasure boat.

As Li Hongcheng and the others left, Si Lili also left Li Chengzong's arms.

Seeing the soft and boneless beauty in his arms sitting next to him, Li Chengzong felt a little disappointed but also relieved. After all, as a virgin for more than thirty years, it was really hard for him to bear such stimulation all of a sudden.

Seeing his relieved look, Si Lili couldn't help but smile and lowered her head. This happened to catch a glimpse of something she shouldn't have seen, and her pretty face turned redder. She took two deep breaths to calm down, and silently picked up some dishes and put them on the plate in front of Li Chengzong.

Having been a law-abiding young man in his two lifetimes, Li Chengzong was a little nervous when he entered a brothel for the first time. Naturally, he had no experience. Seeing that Si Lili was silent, he didn't know what to say, so he remained silent as well. However, the hand that he had been holding around Si Lili remained on her waist.

"Mr. Li, have you hugged enough?"

Li Chengzong shook his head honestly, withdrew his hand with some regret, and asked seriously: "I want to sleep with you, what are the conditions?"

Si Lili was completely dumbfounded.

Having been in Kyoto for more than a year, she has met many young men from prominent families.

Although all the young men who met her wanted to sleep with her, they would at least be polite and tactful in their words.

I’m afraid there’s no one else in Kyoto who would say it so directly.

Where did this unlucky child come from?
While thinking, Si Lili's expression suddenly changed.

"Mr. Li is the prince of the dynasty, and I am just a prostitute. How can I resist him? But I am a lowly woman and not worthy of Mr. Li."

Si Lili was naturally very smart, as she was sent to Qing Kingdom as a secret agent of Northern Qi and made a name for herself in the capital of Qing Kingdom. Li Chengzong was not surprised that she could guess her identity.

"Smart, I want to sleep with you even more."

Si Lili really didn't know how to respond to Li Chengzong's words, so she could only make small talk: "I wonder which prince is Mr. Li?" "You are so smart, how can you not guess?"

"I have never seen the prince, so how can I guess the identity of His Highness?"

Although Si Lili said this, she actually already knew Li Chengzong's identity.

After all, it's not that hard to guess.

The young man who could make Li Hongcheng give in voluntarily, and whose surname was Li, must be a prince without a doubt.

The eldest prince is far away at the border and not in Kyoto. The second prince and the crown prince are fighting in the court and have no intention of coming to this romantic place, so it can only be the third prince.

Li Chengzong picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said speechlessly, "Look, I have directly admitted my identity and have not played any tricks on you. It is meaningless for you to do this."

"Rumor has it in Kyoto that the Third Prince is uneducated and physically strong, but now that I see him, he is clearly a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor and extraordinary intelligence. It seems that the rumors are not credible."

Si Lili pretended to be delicate and filled Li Chengzong's glass with wine and brought it to his mouth, smiling like a flower and saying: "I am honored to accompany the Third Prince today. I hope the Third Prince will take care of me."

After all, he is an expert at the grandmaster level, so Si Lili's little trick of drugging him could not be hidden from him.

Unfortunately, Si Lili could never have imagined that he was already a grandmaster. Not to mention ordinary drugs, even Fei Jie, a grandmaster of poison, could not drug him.

However, Li Chengzong still did not intend to drink it. After all, he had no habit of taking drugs. He pressed Si Lili's delicate hand without leaving any trace.

"Don't drink this wine in a hurry. I know that there is a rumor in Kyoto that I am an uneducated loser, but when did this rumor about me getting fat start?"

Si Lili felt a flash of regret in her heart, and smiled: "After the Third Prince presided over the Spring Examination, rumors spread in Kyoto that the Third Prince had a strong body."

"I'm afraid he's not strong, but as fat as a pig."

"Your Highness the Third Prince is very observant."

"By the way, you haven't answered me yet. I want to sleep with you. What are the conditions?"

"I am a humble girl, but it is a blessing for me to be favored by His Highness the Third Prince. I dare not make any conditions. After Your Highness drinks this glass of wine, you can follow me to the rear cabin."

Si Lili raised the wine glass and brought it to Li Chengzong's mouth again.

Li Chengzong shook his head: "I have never liked taking drugs since I was a child, especially drugs that cause sleeplessness."

"Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

Si Lili pretended to be calm and looked confused.

“Has anyone ever told you that you’re a good actor?”

Think about Si Lili in the TV series, her acting skills are really good.

After Li Chengzong asked this question, he couldn't help but smile.

"What a shame... I saw you drugged."

Si Lili was startled and was about to make a move, but she saw Li Chengzong's move was as fast as lightning and he clamped her wrist in an instant, so fast that she couldn't even see the movement clearly.

"I advise you not to move, let alone think about calling for help. If you call for help, you will be exposed. The kung fu of those people outside is average, but it is not the treatment you, a prostitute in a brothel, can get. It is obvious that you have a secret. I have no intention of finding out your secret. I just want to sleep with you and don't want to cause trouble, so let's talk calmly.

And even if you want to kill me, you and them together are no match for me. If you don't believe me, you can try. Of course, if you try, then as the prince of Qing, I can only send you to the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple or the Supervisory Office. There are too many departments, so you can choose one. "

Is this thing still interesting to pick?

Si Lili was speechless. She looked Li Chengzong up and down, calmed herself down, and asked, "What do you know?"

Should we just come clean?

If I confront her directly and she asks me how I know all this, how should I explain it?
After a moment's silence, Li Chengzong decided to come clean.

"I know more than you think. For example, it is true that you are of the royal blood of Qing. Your ancestor is the third son of Emperor Gaozu. Your real name is Li Lisi. You have a younger brother named Li Xiaoqian in Northern Qi. You are now a spy sent by Northern Qi. Those people outside are also Northern Qi's spies. On the one hand, they protect you, and on the other hand, they monitor you. How is it? Is it enough?"

Si Lili, no, it was Li Lisi who was panicking, but on the surface he still appeared quite calm and composed.

"From what Your Highness said, it seems that you are planning to keep this a secret. So what does Your Highness want? To let Northern Qi secretly help you ascend the throne?"

"Hey, you didn't even ask me how I knew this."

Li Chengzong was a little surprised, then shook his head and said, "I am not interested in the throne. You asked me what I want, and I have already told you that I want to sleep with you."

He kept asking to sleep with her, Li Lisi couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically:

"You hold my secret in your hand, and I am no match for you. Now that you have captured me, you can do whatever you want."

"I want you to do it willingly." Li Chengzong let go of Li Lisi's hand awkwardly.

Li Lisi laughed angrily, "Of course, if you can welcome me home with a grand wedding dress and a sedan chair, marry me, save my brother, and let my family be included in the family tree, I will be willing to do it."

Li Chengzong said sullenly: "You are asking for too much."

"You really want to agree to me, just to make me willing?"

"Why not?"

Li Chengzong asked back, without waiting for Li Lisi to answer, and said to himself: "I can marry you and save your brother, but I am afraid that it is impossible for your family to return to the family tree. After all, your old man followed King Kang to fight for the throne with my old man. Failure is equivalent to conspiracy. Even if I want to agree, the old man will not agree. Can you change the conditions?"
