Ye Liangchen said a bunch of demoralizing words, causing the soldiers to lose morale. Everyone felt that serving this corrupt Tiandou Royal Family was meaningless, so they left one after another, leaving Prince Xue Xing in the wind, disheveled.
"Come back, don't listen to his bewitchment."
"Aren't you afraid of the Tiandou Royal Family punishing you?"
Prince Xue Xing shouted furiously at the soldiers, which instantly made them furious.
"My family all died in the war, and now I'm a lone wolf, Prince Xue Xing. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll kill you first."
At this moment, a soldier couldn't take it anymore and roared at Prince Xue Xing, consumed by rage.
"Exactly! We were patrolling the streets today, doing our job well, and then you, old man, called us to the Heaven Dou Auction House, saying there were enemies. As a result, you want us to deal with a Titled Douluo. You old man clearly wants us to die."
"Brothers, let's kill him first. Anyway, we're single, and at worst, we'll be good men again in a dozen years."
When people are pushed to their limits, they can do anything. The emotions of dozens of soldiers instantly erupted, and they directly wielded the weapons in their hands, charging towards Prince Xue Xing.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
"Xue Qinghe, Xue Qinghe, save me! Save me!"
Prince Xue Xing was immediately horrified. He quickly dragged his heavily injured body, constantly retreating and calling for help from Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, quickly pretended to step forward to stop the impulsive soldiers, but inwardly, she found it very amusing.
At this moment, she hadn't expected these soldiers to turn against them and directly try to kill Prince Xue Xing. It was truly unexpected.
"Crown Prince, that Xiao Jiahuo is right. A man should know what to do and what not to do. Serving such a villain makes us feel disgusted. Anyway, we're all going to die sooner or later, so it's worth it to take a Prince down with us before we die."
The soldiers completely ignored Xue Qinghe, still wielding their weapons and charging towards Xue Xing.
"Everyone, listen to me first. I, as the Crown Prince, guarantee that I will not punish you. Moreover, my Imperial Uncle is just a Prince and has no authority to condemn you."
Xue Qinghe saw that the morale of these soldiers was already in disarray, and she was overjoyed, realizing it was a perfect opportunity to win their loyalty, so she decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Brothers, as the saying goes, are kings, nobles, generals, and prime ministers born of a special lineage?"
"This corrupt Tiandou Royal Family, there's no point in you serving them. If war breaks out, you're just cannon fodder, and when it's time to enjoy the benefits, you'll have no share. If it were me, I would have already killed those high and mighty nobles of the Tiandou Royal Family."
Ye Liangchen looked at the chaotic soldiers and found it quite amusing, so he added fuel to the fire, instantly causing the soldiers' thoughts to waver again.
"Right! When war breaks out, we are the ones on the front lines, dying the fastest, while the Xue Family can enjoy the best from above. Why?"
"Rebel against them!"
Now many soldiers were provoked and shouted excitedly, refusing to accept the Xue Family's rule.
"Long Chen, don't say anymore."
Xue Qinghe quickly shouted at Ye Liangchen. The current situation was already chaotic enough, and the other party was still adding fuel to the fire. He was truly a troublemaker.
"Crown Prince, you play slowly! We're leaving now, hahaha..."
Ye Liangchen waved to Xue Qinghe, greeted the women, and left the place gracefully.
"Ah, my good daughter, look at him. Learn from him."
"This is a great opportunity. You should seize it well. Don't reveal yourself when cleaning up the mess."
As Bibi Dong left, she deliberately passed by Qian Renxue and secretly transmitted her voice to her with spirit power, taking the opportunity to tease her.
"Boom!"
Qian Renxue's mind exploded. This was Bibi Dong's voice. She hadn't expected that the masked woman in black robes from before was actually her Mother.
How could her Mother, who disliked her, be with Long Chen? And who were these strange women? Her entire person had undergone such a significant change. Could it be related to that young man named Long Chen?
When Qian Renxue regained her senses, she found that Ye Liangchen and his group had already disappeared from the street. She could only compose herself and, as the Crown Prince, clean up the current mess.
"Crown Prince, what should we do? The situation is a bit chaotic," his subordinate said anxiously.
"Call for people immediately."
Thousands of soldiers were provoked by Ye Liangchen's words: Are kings, nobles, generals, and prime ministers born of a special lineage! They were all eager to act, scaring Xue Qinghe into immediately sending people to notify other city guards to maintain order, otherwise, it might trigger a Heaven Dou rebellion.
...
After Ye Liangchen and his group quickly left the street where the Heaven Dou Auction House was, they directly left Tiandou Imperial City, occasionally seeing groups of city guards running towards the Heaven Dou Auction House street.
"You brat, this act you pulled off, it's really something!"
Bibi Dong, to ensure Ye Liangchen's safety, also left with Ling Yuan.
"Mother, by doing this, I can divert the attention of the Heaven Dou City army. Otherwise, tens of thousands of troops charging at me would also be troublesome."
Ye Liangchen spread his hands. Trouble came knocking, so he could only deal with it as it came.
"You little brat, you really opened our eyes today."
Shui Lanxin rubbed Ye Liangchen's head. She was already prepared to go on a killing spree, but she hadn't expected the Xiao Jiahuo to resolve the situation with just a few words.
"Let's quickly leave this troublesome place!" Bibi Dong urged everyone to speed up and quickly leave Tiandou Imperial City.
In the evening, the group arrived at a valley in the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, intending to spend the night there.
Bibi Dong was very surprised that Ye Liangchen's few words at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Auction House had shaken the morale of those soldiers.
"Shui Lanxin, where on earth did this Xiao Jiahuo learn all that?"
"He probably learned it from books. The Xiao Jiahuo loved reading since he was little, and he's intelligent, often coming up with some wild ideas."
"Xiao Chen said before that only soldiers who serve the people can be called true soldiers; otherwise, they are just a bunch of dogs under the powerful. I strongly agree with that."
"Prince Xue Xing has suffered such a great blow this time; he's probably going crazy."
"Xiao Chen's earlier phrase: Are kings, nobles, generals, and prime ministers born of a special lineage? will definitely cause a stir in the Heaven Dou Empire. This time, that old man Emperor Xue Ye will probably have a headache."
"This Xiao Jiahuo is truly a talent. Those demoralizing words he said earlier directly caused the soldiers brought by Xue Xing to turn against him. It's simply incredible."
Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin chatted while watching Ye Liangchen make dinner by the fire.
At this moment, Ye Liangchen was cleaning a few pheasants, preparing to make beggar's chicken for everyone. Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er were helping him nearby.
"Chen Ge, we actually beat up Prince Xue Xing today! It was so exciting!" Xiao Maomi had been with Ye Liangchen for a while, and her courage had grown much larger.
"Xiao Chen, do you think the Tiandou Royal Family will cause trouble because of the big commotion we made today?" Shui Bing'er was a little worried about the events of the day.
"Cause what trouble? We didn't reveal our true faces today, nor did we use our Spirits. Prince Xue Xing doesn't even know who beat him. Plus, Aunt Lan and the others displayed their Titled Douluo strength, so the Heaven Dou Empire can only suffer in silence and can't do anything."
"The words I said to those soldiers earlier will definitely spread throughout the army, and then it will be lively. Maybe the Tiandou Royal Family is currently trying to appease the soldiers' emotions!"
Ye Liangchen didn't care about the people of the Tiandou Royal Family at all. In the past, when Dugu Bo was around, there was still a Titled Douluo. Now that the old man is gone, the Tiandou Royal Family's overt high-end combat power is only Marshal Ge Long and the three great instructors of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. These few are only Spirit Douluo. As for Emperor Xue Ye, like Xue Xing, he is just an old man whose body has been hollowed out by wine and women, not worth mentioning.
Two hours later, several fragrant beggar's chickens were cooked. Ye Liangchen dug them out of the fire pit and brought them to Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin.
"Can this black thing be eaten?" Bibi Dong and the other women asked curiously.
"This delicious dish made by Xiao Chen Didi is called beggar's chicken. We've eaten it several times in Sunset Forest recently, and the taste is too good..."
Shui Bing'er used a stick to break open the mud clod, revealing the pheasant meat wrapped in lotus leaves inside.
"Mmm! So fragrant!"
Bibi Dong and the other women looked at the pheasant meat, which was perfect in color, aroma, and taste, and couldn't help but feel their appetites stir.
"The taste is not bad."
Ye Liangchen directly tore off a chicken leg and began to gnaw on it.
"Xiao Chen, pay attention to your image. The Pope is watching!"
Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing used daggers to cut the chicken into small pieces and then placed them on a plate.
"Everyone here is not an outsider, so what image do we need? The best way to eat beggar's chicken is for each person to hold one and gnaw on it. That's what you call enjoyable."
"Aunt Lan, Mother, don't pretend to be refined. Otherwise, you won't get to eat anything, only bones."
Ye Liangchen urged everyone to start eating quickly. They had been busy all day and were almost starving.
"You brat, even if you didn't say anything, we would still eat."
"Pope, Ling Yuan, try it. This brat's cooking is truly superb!"
Shui Lanxin smilingly invited Bibi Dong to taste it. It was rare to be able to eat such a delicious meal in the wild.
"Mmm! The taste is really good." Bibi Dong picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes immediately lighting up.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so amazing." Ling Yuan praised him while eating.
"As a genius, one must be proficient in everything. Otherwise, just knowing how to cultivate and become stronger, and then just fighting and killing, such a life would lose its meaning..."
Ye Liangchen, at this moment, transformed into a charlatan, seriously spouting a bunch of life philosophies, the purpose of which was also for Bibi Dong to hear, hoping she would take it to heart.
"You brat, spouting nonsense in front of the Pope again."
Shui Lanxin grabbed Ye Liangchen's ear, making everyone burst into laughter.
The night passed without a word. After dawn, Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen's group parted ways.
"Xiao Chen, Mother is returning to Spirit Hall first. I'll come to see you when I have time later."
Before leaving, Bibi Dong hugged Ye Liangchen, allowing him to enjoy another facial massage.
"Mother, when you're in a bad mood in the future, just recite the Ice Heart Technique."
Facing this enthusiastic Pope, Ye Liangchen also hoped she would have a good ending and not become the madwoman from the original plot.
"Mmm! Mother knows."
"Shui Lanxin, Shui Lanyue, protect my godson. Don't let him suffer any harm."
"Xiao Chen, goodbye."
Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan waved goodbye to Ye Liangchen and his group, disappearing in a few moments.
"You brat, you've even captured the peerless Pope. From now on, you'll be the most dazzling guy on the entire continent."
"Let's go! It's time for us to return to Tianshui City."
Shui Lanxin smilingly took Ye Liangchen's hand, greeted the others, and quickly headed towards the North Origin Province.
...
Just as Ye Liangchen and his group left, the Tiandou Royal Family was in chaos. Under Qian Renxue's secret manipulation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army were discussing the topic of whether kings, nobles, generals, and prime ministers are born of a special lineage, giving Marshal Ge Long a huge headache. However, he couldn't kill them all, so he could only report to the Tiandou Royal Family.
"Xue Xing, what on earth are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere with the pill owner auctioning pills? Why did you provoke them again?"
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the main hall of the palace, angrily questioning Xue Xing, frustrated that he couldn't do anything right.
"Your Majesty, I was also trying to uphold the dignity of the Tiandou Royal Family."
Xue Xing said tremblingly. At this moment, he had a bitter story he couldn't tell! For this matter, his testicles were shattered. Although they had recovered somewhat under the treatment of a healing Spirit Master, he didn't know if they would be usable in the future.
"Father, the whole incident started because of the auctioning of slaves at the auction. The pill owner used his Limit Douluo identity to forbid the auction house from auctioning slaves. Imperial Uncle probably didn't believe it, so he brought the army to test their strength, which resulted in provoking four female Titled Douluo, three of whom had Ten-Thousand Year spirit rings..."
Xue Qinghe, who was beside him, completely recounted what had happened at the Heaven Dou Auction House today.
"Smash!"
Emperor Xue Ye was so angry that he smashed his cup. Everything was caused by his own brother seeking death, which led to such a big trouble.
"Xue Xing, you should retire! Don't manage any more affairs of the Tiandou Royal Family. Also, the Heaven Dou Auction House will be handed over to Xue Qinghe to manage."
"Xue Qinghe, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army who are agitated, and Marshal Ge Long has a huge headache. You immediately go and appease their emotions as the Crown Prince, otherwise, our Tiandou Royal Family might not be able to hold on."
Emperor Xue Ye had no one else he could rely on, so he could only let Xue Qinghe handle this matter entirely.
"Father, your son will not fail you."
Xue Qinghe pretended to humbly accept the task, but inwardly, he could barely contain his laughter. Old man! This time, I finally have the opportunity to intervene in military affairs.
Prince Xue Xing returned to his mansion in a daze, looking at Xue Beng, who had come to visit him, and sighed, "It's over, it's all over."
"Uncle, how did it turn out like this?"
Xue Beng also didn't know if his uncle was suffering from senile dementia. He actually led an army to confront four powerful Titled Douluo. He thought to himself, "I, Xue Beng, wouldn't do something so idiotic. Now it's good, I might be completely out of luck with the throne."
"Alas! Xue Beng, this Long Chen that your uncle encountered is even more arrogant and terrifying than Lan Chen, who beat you before. He only said a few words, and thousands of soldiers turned against me and tried to kill me. Such a person is simply a monster, too terrifying."
Xue Xing felt his scalp tingle as he recalled his previous encounter, especially that kick that cut off his lineage. He could still feel a faint sadness in his testicles.
"Uncle, what should we do now? Xue Qinghe is like a fish in water!"
"What else can we do? Nothing! This time, due to my misjudgment, the army's morale was shaken, and your father ordered me to retire. I can only lie low first and hide in the shadows."
"Alas..."
Facing such a situation, Uncle Xue Xing and Xue Beng could only sigh and drink their sorrows away, drowning their worries in alcohol.
