Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Bitao was already waiting in the yard. When she saw them come in, she welcomed them into the house.

The room was a little dark, with a faint musty smell, but it was now filled with all kinds of expensive items, even the big bed was made of top-grade golden nanmu wood.

When Gu Qiongsi saw them come in, he stood up from his chair with a smile and saluted Li Junze.

"I have met His Highness."

"Si'er, what's wrong? Did you hear something?" Li Junze waved his hand to let her stand up, and then he couldn't wait to ask Gu Qiongsi.

The note she wrote to herself had the words "good strategy" written on it, which must have been referring to the matter of the Jingji Army.

Gu Qiongsi nodded. Ever since she entered the mansion, Bitao had not been idle. She had always sent her out to inquire about things going on in the mansion.

She naturally knew it when Yang Jinzhong and others entered the mansion in the morning.

"Tell me quickly." Li Junze asked anxiously while sitting on the chair.

Gu Qiongsi smiled and poured him a cup of tea before he spoke, "Your Highness, do you think that the Jingji Army will keep these hundreds of people in their cells?"

The words woke Li Junze up from his dream, and he stopped tapping his knuckles on the table instantly.

"Your Highness, with so many people, they will definitely move to another place, and it definitely won't be the capital."

After Gu Qiongsi finished speaking, Li Junze already understood what good advice she was going to give.

"Cao Xingwen, go and ask around and see if you can find out any relevant information."

Li Junze immediately gave the order, and Cao Xingwen cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

The Jingji Army was mainly responsible for the safety of the capital. It had a total of 50,000 troops, and its barracks were stationed at the foot of the Qilian Mountains in the western suburbs of the capital.

Although there are a lot of people, their cells are definitely not enough to support almost a thousand people. Not only the manpower and material resources, but even the guarding requires a lot of energy.

After Cao Xingwen left, Gu Qiongsi smiled and took the initiative to sit on Li Junze's lap, and then continued,

"If what I said is correct, they will transfer the people to Xiangyang City and detain them in the next few days."

Li Junze stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Qiongsi's waist, smiling and nodded.

"It takes half a day to travel from the capital to Xiangyang even on horseback, so there are many opportunities to take action. I'll tell my grandfather, and he will definitely take action."

Gu Qiongsi's expression froze. Why was it Wang Zhuo again? At this time, did Li Junze still have to ask Wang Zhuo for instructions on everything?

"Your Highness, there is no need to trouble Master Wang with such a small matter. We can do it ourselves." Gu Qiongsi's tone was a little casual, but his arms had already wrapped around Li Junze's neck.

Li Junze lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Qiongsi's face. He naturally knew that Wang Zhuo had already wanted to kill Gu Qiongsi, and Gu Qiongsi's impression of Wang Zhuo would definitely not be good, so he understood what Gu Qiongsi meant.

"Why, Your Highness, at this point, you are still so indecisive and afraid to take action? If you ascend to that position in the future, will you have to consult Master Wang on everything?"

Seeing that Li Junze was reluctant to express his opinion, Gu Qiongsi had no choice but to add fuel to the fire.

Li Junze smiled and bit Gu Qiongsi's cheek before saying, "Okay, let's do it ourselves and not trouble Grandpa."

"Well, that's right. This is the Third Prince that Si'er likes."

Gu Qiongsi said with a smile and licked his lips with her tongue.

"You little devil, something interrupted us last night. Let's continue tonight."

Li Junze said this with gritted teeth, but his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

"Si'er has something else to tell His Highness. I wonder if His Highness still needs some help?"

"What do you mean by Si'er?"

"Although Fengyue Pavilion has only been in business for a short time, it already has a group of very loyal customers. If we let someone who knows illusions cast spells on them, will they become our thugs?"

Gu Qiongsi's words were certainly not groundless. She had heard about what happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet a long time ago. Since it was related to illusion, Wang Zhuo resigned from his official position and retired because of this matter.

It’s hard to guarantee, as Wang Zhuo has someone who is good at illusion in his hands.

Li Junze hesitated. He didn't know whether Wang Zhuo had such a person in his hands, and he had never told him.

But given Wang Zhuo's style of doing things, such a powerful person would definitely squeeze out all of her value.

Including the opponent's illusion, how could such a powerful method be lost just like that.

"I'm not sure about this. Let me ask my grandfather first."

Gu Qiongsi suddenly stood up from Li Junze's legs and asked in disbelief,

"It's already this late, how come Your Highness doesn't even know what cards you have in your hand?"

Li Junze also stood up and argued anxiously, "Si'er, you can't think like that. Grandfather must have his own plans. Besides, I just didn't ask about such things."

If I ask, Wang Zhuo will definitely tell me everything.

"But, Your Highness, have you ever thought about that..." Gu Qiongsi stopped talking halfway and then said apologetically,

"I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Junze somewhat understood what Gu Qiongsi meant. She was worried that Wang Zhuo had his own ideas and might act in accordance with his own calculations.

However, he knew in his heart that he was Wang Zhuo's son, and he did all this just to push himself to that position.

If he reached that position, it would be equivalent to him changing the fate of the entire Wang family.

However, then again, if Wang Zhuo really has his own selfish motives, that is possible.

So he did not stay in Guixiangyuan any longer. After returning to the reception room, he found that Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen were not there, and even Sun Xingzhi had not returned yet.

This made him feel irritated.

Especially with what Gu Qiongsi said, he felt even more upset.

Finally, Wen Jiaxiang came back first. He whispered to Li Junze, "Your Highness, I heard that there is a fragrance tasting competition at Qiandaozhai today. Are you interested?"

"Try the fragrance?" Li Junze had never heard of this, which made him annoyed again.

He knew that Qian Dao Zhai was his grandfather's business. Apparently, this competition was also planned by his grandfather, but he never mentioned anything to him.

"Yes, today, Zhangzhou Zuixiangxuan and Beijing Wangyulou are holding a fragrance tasting competition. I heard that many people have already gone there. Even the street outside Qiandaozhai is crowded with people."

Wen Jiaxiang said with great interest that he had just gone there to check out the situation and came back to report.
