I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!

Chapter 438 - 324: Grilled Fish (Part 2)

"If Wei Junzhuo really allied with Yuan Lang, we would have been arrested as soon as we entered the city. How could we still be here watching the show? On the contrary, it’s Yuan Lang probing our details. As for Wei Junzhuo..."

Rong Heng explained lightly, his eyes deepening slightly as he pondered Wei Junzhuo’s thoughts.

Wei Junzhuo is even more troublesome than imagined. Maybe he had long guessed that Yuan Lang would choose to cooperate with him.

Instead of preventing Yuan Lang from collaborating with enemy countries or lying in wait at their negotiation site, it’s better to take the opposite approach—Wei Junzhuo’s goal was never himself, but rather to devour other countries’ lands.

At the same time, Wei Junzhuo is not afraid of Yuan Lang exposing his plan because when Yuan Lang tells his former plan to the enemy country, he already has a new strategy.

Rong Heng lowered his gaze and regarded the group of people in the distant melee as mere air.

He curled his lips, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

Now that they’re here, even those whom Wei Junzhuo doesn’t care about can make a big move as long as the timing is right.

—This is where Rong Heng differs from Wei Junzhuo. Rong Heng never underestimates anyone, and in his heart, there are no distinctions of family background, bloodlines, or gender.

Rong Heng stood up, his thumb subconsciously brushing over the fine string tied to his wrist inside his sleeve. It held a warm jade in the shape of a copper coin. He had carved the largest piece of the warm jade he got into a Maitreya Buddha and gave it to the old lady as a birthday gift, with the remaining larger piece made into a Jade Pendant for Gu Lan, and the smaller one kept on his wrist.

"This is not the place to talk. I’m hungry; let’s eat first."

Jiu looked around, "Isn’t this a tavern? What can’t you eat here?"

Rong Heng: "Came all the way to Jinzhou, is it appropriate not to eat grilled fish? This tavern actually doesn’t have Jinzhou grilled fish, truly poor business sense."

With that, Rong Heng wrinkled his nose and, using Qinggong, leapt into the air.

Jiu looked up at him, as the rustling sound of the wind accompanied Rong Heng’s figure, like a majestic cloud eagle gliding over the water, he landed steadily on a large black-awning boat docked at the riverbank.

As night fell, the starlight and moonlight intermingled with the lights on the shore. The black-awning boats and painting boats on the river lit up with colorful lights, the river glistening, and the music of silk and bamboo instruments leisurely carried over, rippling the autumn waters.

The night view here is quite nice... It would be better if Gu Lan was here with him to appreciate it.

Just as the thought arose in Rong Heng’s mind, he heard Jiu shouting loudly from the shore:

"Master, that’s a brothel!"

In his heart, he silently lit a stick of incense for Your Highness.

Rong Heng paused in his steps, nearly stumbling, his eyes wide in shock as he looked around.

Only by being here can one hear the coquettish laughter and sweet teasing, along with the enchanting singing coming from inside the black-awning boat. The aroma of grilled fish permeated from within, yet Rong Heng turned and ran.

The dignified Prince of Dayan faced with mountains of sabers and seas of flames without changing his expression, but was startled away by a painting boat that seemed like it might be a brothel.

Behind him, a group of startled ladies chirped charmingly, waving silk sleeves to bid him stay.

Rong Heng didn’t look back.

Running, Rong Heng suddenly thought about what Gu Lan’s reaction would be if he were here?

Thinking like this, Rong Heng grew even more furious, because Gu Lan would definitely be left and right embraced, maddening him!

After a long while, he sat calmly on a black-awning boat Jiu found for him, a proper one serving only tea and meals.

Rong Heng sat with poised elegance, hands resting on his knees, his expression obedient.

On the table before him was a platter of spicy golden grilled fish, sprinkled with Jinzhou’s unique green peppercorns, with freshly steamed rice beside it, tantalizingly fragrant.

Rong Heng steadied his mood, picking up his chopsticks, and with an expressionless face, he picked up a piece of fish and placed it in his mouth, instructing: "Today’s events are not to be told to Gu Lan."

Jiu solemnly shook his head, "This subordinate will definitely not tell Young Master Gu that you actually visited a brothel behind her back."

The fish was fragrant, numbing, and tender as it entered his mouth, making Rong Heng’s eyes squint momentarily, then he angrily said, "Who knew the grilled fish was on a painting boat!? Does this make sense? If you dare to reveal this matter..."

Jiu swallowed, curiously asking, "What would Your Highness do?"

His name was Jiu, and he had a master who, according to Young Master Gu, was tsundere. Jiu just liked to repeatedly toe the line of his master’s rage.

"I’d have Lanlan seduce Rong Baoyi. I don’t believe there’s a woman in this world who doesn’t like Lanlan." Rong Heng looked at Jiu, his dark eyes deep, speaking word by word.

Jiu twitched his mouth, muttering, "Absolutely ruthless, Your Highness. This subordinate truly never expected you could be so vicious."
