430 Following behind her were her three bodyguards, A Da, A Er, and A San.
At this time, the three of them looked at Battan with unfriendly expressions. What a bastard, you even dare to mock the princess. I think you are tired of living.
Battan was startled and looked up, then he saw Zhao Ya walking over.
The next moment his face changed. She, why is she here!
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Chen Jie. No, it couldn't be that he was the one who invited him here!
Thinking of this, Batan's face darkened, but he still quickly dismounted and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Batan is arrogant, but no matter how arrogant he is, he would not dare to act arrogantly in front of the princess of Prince Ruyang.
The people around him also looked at the young man, and many of them had surprised looks on their faces.
There are mainly two points of surprise. The first is that this handsome young man is actually a woman?
Secondly, she was actually a princess. These days, the disciples of the Fishing Gang saw these four people coming in and out of the gang leader's room, and could hear their discussions from time to time. They thought they were just ordinary people in the martial arts world, but they never thought they had such a high status.
At the same time, at this moment, everyone here felt relieved. The gang leader actually invited such a backer, so what could a mere garrison commander do?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Batman, wanting to see how he would continue pretending.
Zhao Ya glanced at Batan and said, "Batan, you are so majestic!"
"You don't even take the imperial inspectors seriously. Whose influence do you rely on? The King of Qi?"
After hearing this, Batan lowered his body even lower. Yes, he did rely on the power of King Qi.
There were four powerful princes in Daqian, one of whom was Bolo Temur, the Prince of Ruyang, who was in charge of Jiangnan.
One is the King of the Northwest, Li Siqi.
Both of them started out with military merits, and gradually became kings by suppressing rebellions. They even worked together when they were young, but later when their power grew, the two sides began to quarrel with each other.
Became mortal enemies.
Hubei is the border between the King of the Northwest and the King of Ruyang, and both of them have influence here.
They infiltrated each other and checked each other, and Batan was a card played by the King of Qi in Huangzhou Prefecture.
At this time, Zhao Ya brought up the issue directly. Batman didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only look at Zhao Ya in silence.
Zhao Ya looked at Batan and said, "Why are you silent? Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
After hearing this, Batan said, "Princess, I really didn't know you were here. I was a little reckless in what I said just now."
Zhao Ya said: "Meng Lang, you can still speak Chinese."
After saying this, Zhao Ya looked at Batan and asked, "What did you just say? Chen Jiusi is a traitor?"
Batan looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, that's right."
Zhao Ya said, "No way, this Mr. Chen is my staff, how can he be a traitor? Then I must be a traitor too. Lord Battan, do you want to capture me as well, kill me, and report me as a bandit?"
"I dare not!"
"I dare not. I think you dare very much. Relying on the power of King Qi, you are very arrogant in Huangzhou Prefecture. There is solid evidence that Nan Batian is colluding with bandits, but you want to cover it up by saying that he is your secret spy. I think it is not that simple!"
Upon hearing this, Batan said, "Princess, this man is indeed my spy."
Although Batan did not dare to confront Zhao Ya head-on, he could not give up Nan Batian easily. After all, Nan Batian was also a good chess piece. He came to Mianshui this time for the medicinal materials in the Medicine King's treasure. He wanted to take them out and give them to the King of Qi to make a great contribution.
Nan Batian's Xuanbing Jin is very useful. There is an Ice Courtyard inside the treasure, which can only be opened by using ice-related skills. Nan Batian's Xuanbing Jin is just right.
So even if we can't take down Chen Jiusi today, we must protect Nan Batian!
Therefore, he chose to protect Nan Batian.
Zhao Ya represents the interests of the Ruyang Palace, and he represents the interests of the King of Qi. He cannot back down in the face of interests, otherwise he will lose his position in the King of Qi's heart.
If he loses his status, he will be close to death.
The King of Qi doesn't need a useless subordinate.
Therefore, even when facing the princess, he could not give in step by step, otherwise he would be replaced by someone else sent by the King of Qi.
Zhao Ya looked at Batan and asked, "Are you going to protect this Nan Batian?"
Batan said: "I am not trying to protect him, it's mainly because he is indeed my spy and also the spy of the King of Qi, so I hope my lady will show some mercy."
Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes. This Batan actually mentioned the King of Qi.
Zhao Ya knew that he was determined to protect him. In this case, Zhao Ya looked at Batan and said, "Batan, okay, if you want to protect this man, I won't stop you. But Chen Jiusi is my man, and he is also a member of my Ruyang Palace. You can't touch him!"
Batan looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, this man stabbed the leader in the back and tried to seize power. He is not a good person. If you protect him, I am afraid he will betray you in the future. I am afraid it will be difficult for you then."
"Hmph, whether it's difficult for me to do this has nothing to do with you. Also, Battan, let me ask you, why did you come to Mianshui this time? Was it just for you, the secret agent?"
Batan said: "No, no, besides him, I also want to explore the treasure of the King of Medicine!"
Zhao Ya: "Oh, you are also interested in the Medicine King's treasure?"
Batan pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't it possible that the princess is also interested in the Medicine King's treasure?"
Zhao Ya looked at Battan and said, "What do you think?"
After hearing this, Batan said, "Ah, this is not easy to deal with. Logically speaking, since the princess is interested in this treasure, I should give it to her. However, I have signed a military order with the King of Qi. I must get something from this treasure. If I return empty-handed, I am afraid I will have a hard time explaining to the King of Qi!"
"So, my lady, I am afraid I can't let you go."
Batan looked at Zhao Ya and said, Zhao Ya looked at Batan and said, "Batan, very good. If that's the case, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's each rely on our own abilities. Whoever can get the treasure in the treasure will own it. This way, no one will suffer a loss, and you will also have an explanation."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord!"
Battan said to Zhao Ya.
After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Batan and said, "Okay, now that we've talked about it, does the garrison commander still want to arrest anyone?"
Batan looked at Chen Jiusi after hearing this, and said with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Since this Chen Jiusi is the princess's man, he can't be arrested."
The princess said: "In that case, take your people and leave. You are not welcome here."
Batan bowed and said, "Yes, Princess. I will take my leave."
Battan turned around and looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "Chen Jiusi, right? I'll remember you!"
Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "It is my honor to be remembered by the garrison commander."
After hearing this, Battan waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
After that, the group left directly. Nan Batian also limped away. Before leaving, he glared at Chen Jie fiercely and said, "Chen Jiusi, we are not done yet."
Chen Jie said: "Boss Nan, I never thought you could find such a backer, but you may not be so lucky next time."
Nan Batian snorted coldly and said: "Next time, I will kill you!"
After hearing this, Old Monster Liu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Nan Batian, if your master hadn't saved you today, you would have died. Why are you still shouting? You really don't know how to live or die. You have no shame."
After hearing this, Nan Batian stared at Old Monster Liu and said, "Old Monster Liu, and you as well. When I heal you, you, and all of you, I will settle accounts with you one by one."
Old Monster Liu said, "Don't say harsh words. If you have the guts, come and fight again. Whoever is a coward is a grandson."
"Ahem…"
After hearing this, Nan Batian became furious and said, "You are just bullying me because I am injured. Otherwise, I will kill you!"
At this time, Old Monster Liu had a mocking look on his face. He had already chased the people away, but he was not allowed to shout a few times. How could such a thing happen in this world?
Thinking of this, Old Monster Liu said, "What's wrong, Nan Batian? If you have the guts, don't act cowardly. Come and fight!"
"you..."
Nan Batian only felt his dantian getting more painful, and at this moment, Yu Maner said, "Junior brother, let's go."
After hearing this, Nan Batian stared at Old Monster Liu fiercely and said, "Just wait!"
Old Monster Liu said, "I'll wait for you, you useless woman!"
"You..." Old Monster Liu's words were so mean that Nan Batian was so angry that he was fuming.
Nan Batian followed Batan and left. Chen Jie and others looked at the backs of these people. Chen Jie said, "It seems that there is a fight for this Medicine King treasure."
Zhao Ya said: "Humph, the King of Qi has been recruiting troops and plotting to take over Hubei. Batan is just one of his dogs."
Hearing this, Zhao Ya turned to look at Yelu and asked, "How do you, the Yelu family, stand?"
After hearing this, Yelu's face changed slightly and he said, "My Yelu family is only loyal to the court, Princess, you know that."
Zhao Ya looked at Yelu and said, "The King of Qi is the court, and my Ruyang Palace is also the court, so you should think about it carefully."
Yelu said: "Princess, I am only a descendant of the Yelu family, I cannot be the master..."
Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you, but this time, to get the Medicine King's treasure, are you going down with me or with Batan?"
Upon hearing this, Yelu said directly: "Of course I will go with the princess."
Zhao Ya nodded and said, "Okay, the Medicine King's treasure will probably be gone within half a month, and you can come with me then."
As they were talking, Old Monster Liu's eyes lit up. He turned around and looked at Zhao Ya and said, "My Lady, can I go with you to the Medicine King's treasure?"
After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Old Monster Liu and said, "Hmm, a fire-attributed technique? Sure!"
As he spoke, Old Monster Liu immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Old Monster Liu also knew a little about the Medicine King's treasure. It was opened once thirty years ago. At that time, he followed his master and rowed the boat for those great masters. Later, after those great masters revealed the treasure, they were quite generous in spending money.
Old Monster Liu remembered that he had given his master and disciple three Tai Sui Pills as a reward, and it was because of those three Tai Sui Pills that he was able to break through to the Hua Jin level. Of course, he became the leader of the Cao Gang.
It can be said that this treasure can be regarded as his benefactor. If it were not for this treasure, he would not have the fortune he has today.
Therefore, when Zhao Ya proposed to go to the Medicine King's treasure, Old Monster Liu immediately became interested.
And the pretty beauty who was not far away also heard these words, and raised her brows slightly. Medicine King's treasure, these people actually came here for the Medicine King's treasure!
This is troublesome. A master has come to Huangzhou Prefecture in the past two days to study the treasure of the King of Medicine. However, they never expected that they would be directly targeted by the imperial court. This is really troublesome.
Thinking of this, Qiao Hongyan looked at Chen Jie. Why not find an ally? It seems that Chen Jiusi will also be one of the main forces entering the treasure this time. In this case, why not unite with him?
Qiao Hongyan thought that when the Zoroastrian master arrived, she would look for Chen Jie to see if there was any chance for an alliance.
In this way, everyone had their own ulterior motives and the turmoil was calmed down.
Then everyone sat down and continued to attend the banquet. When the banquet was over, everyone left one after another, and Chen Jie had completely completed his inauguration ceremony as gang leader.
The ceremony ended very quickly, almost in half an hour. These prominent figures in Mianshui did not attend the banquet properly, so there was some food left on the table.
Seeing this scene, the people outside gathered around.
