Chapter 364: Fighting against human power
Wu Ziyan leaned against Chu Qiu's back and tried it out. She found that all the handsome men's faces rushed up to her. It was probably because the enemy had heard about her reputation for being a lecherous man and sent them over on purpose!
Sometimes she was quite grateful for those rumors, at least they added a layer of protection to the story. While she might have been a bit lecherous and stupid at times, she was very clear-headed when it came to important matters.
Wu Ziyan took Chu Qiu's hand and wrote the word "trap" on his palm with her finger. Chu Qiu turned his head and asked her with his eyes what to do.
She raised an eyebrow: "Jump, but it's you who jumps."
The crowd was so noisy that her words were not heard by the people, who were all making a ruckus. Chu Qiu, after all this time, seemed to have a certain telepathic connection with her.
He raised his hands: "Quiet, quiet! The soup kitchens set up in the city will be ready soon. Everyone will get a share, so please don't grab, don't grab!"
Wu Ziyan glanced at the handsome men mixed in with the crowd, and Chu Qiu understood what the trap was.
She pointed out the handsome men one by one with her finger: "You, come with me to the tent. Our prince just happens to need a few servants."
Wu Ziyan frowned. The blame was still being shifted back onto her. These beauties looked like femme fatales. But since she wouldn't die anyway, she might as well keep them around to see how they fared.
When those people saw that all the good-looking ones were taken away, they began to complain that this prince was a good-for-nothing. It seemed that there was the Situ family army there, otherwise what would they, the ordinary people, do?
The chosen beauties were overjoyed, realizing that the rumors were true. If they could kill the so-called prince, they might be able to escape their slave status!
And so, the more they thought about it, the more motivated they became, but they didn't realize that they had already been targeted.
"Chu Qiu, how did you become so bad? Why do you say I need menial tasks?"
"Does Your Highness not like those beauties? Does he only like me and Ziliang?"
"No, no, have you been switched? You're not Chu Qiu at all. Did Qi Zexuan secretly teach you a few moves behind my back?"
"Your Highness, I was just joking with you. I think the same way. Please keep them around and see what they do."
"I bet once we get back to the tent, one or two of them will turn into exquisitely handsome men and start relentlessly pursuing me. Do you believe me?"
"letter."
Sure enough, when they returned from patrolling the city, those beauties who were covered in dust and dressed in tattered clothes had changed into the clothes of servants, but their faces were all more exquisite than the last.
Those beauties don't seem to know yet that she is the Fourth Prince, which is quite amusing.
As she walked back, she suddenly raised her voice: "What Fourth Prince? He went out today and hasn't returned yet. It seems he said he was going back to Qiyang. I can't stand staying here any longer. Why didn't he take me with him? I'm his personal maid."
Those handsome men seemed to have radar in their ears; upon hearing the words "Fourth Prince," they immediately pretended to have something to do and came out.
One of them, feigning concern and appearing somewhat weak, asked, "May I ask, young lady, did you say that the Fourth Prince has returned to Qiyang?"
"Yeah, she didn't even bring me along. How is she supposed to survive?"
"Did the Fourth Prince say when he would return when he left?"
"I don't know, someone else told me. This is driving me crazy! By the way, why are you all so concerned about the Fourth Prince? Didn't we just bring you back?"
"Oh... well... we just wanted to thank the Fourth Prince for saving our lives."
"That's hilarious. What's wrong with your brains? It's just me and this gentleman next to me. What does it have to do with the Fourth Prince?"
Wu Ziyan's words stunned them again. Wasn't she the Fourth Prince's maid? How dare she speak ill of the Fourth Prince behind his back, and even flirt with the so-called master beside her?
"You wouldn't be plotting against the Fourth Prince, would you? If so, I dare not keep you here, unless... you, you, become my servant."
The two chosen hesitated, wondering why they should be servants to the Fourth Prince. But then they thought that if they didn't go, everyone else would be driven away. They could tell what kind of person the Fourth Prince was just by looking at his servants.
He really is a lecherous, incompetent, and materialistic fool!
“Sister, what are you saying? We are happy to serve you.”
"Why are you calling me 'sister'? I'm still so young, call me 'little sister'!"
The two men were utterly exasperated. They looked at each other, thinking to themselves that they really didn't want to do this damn job anymore!
"What are you standing there for? Can't you see that we're exhausted after we got back? Aren't you going to pour us some water? Oh, and bring us two chairs to massage our shoulders!"
Their fists were clenched. Why should they serve her? Why? But they still put on a fawning smile, after all, that's how they were trained since childhood.
While massaging her shoulders, she kept asking if the pressure was right. Wu Ziyan closed her eyes and didn't speak until the water was handed to her.
She deliberately let the water drop, splashing it onto the handsome man's shoes. She looked up at him and said, "How can you be so clumsy? You can't even hold a glass of water properly. How are you going to serve His Highness the Fourth Prince?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong."
Chu Qiu looked at her and realized she wasn't faking it at all. He hadn't expected her to have such a mean side. He was even a little worried about himself and couldn't help but put himself in the role of this handsome man.
"Clean this up. It's freezing cold in the middle of winter. What if the adults slip and fall? Be careful, or I'll report you to the Fourth Prince and have you all kicked out."
"Yes Yes!"
At this moment, Huang Ziliang walked in from outside the door carrying a scroll. He held a map in his hand, looked at the handsome men standing in the room, and then observed the expressions of Chu Qiu and Wu Ziyan.
Recalling what he had overheard outside, she was indeed an actress, so of course he had to play along. As soon as he entered, he said, "Miss, His Highness asked you to keep an eye out for handsome men before he left. I didn't expect you to finish so quickly."
"Yes, look at the people I've chosen, what do you think?"
"Yes, Your Highness will definitely like it, won't you, Miss?"
"Did you all hear that? Below the Fourth Prince, even if I'm not the best, you can't even get to see the Fourth Prince."
These handsome men were witnessing for the first time what it meant to be a bully relying on his master's power, but they still stood respectfully to the side, nodding repeatedly, their smiles not at all fake. Well, they're all acting masters.
They made a fuss there for a while, but knowing that Huang Ziliang must have something to say to her, she found an excuse to take Chu Qiu out with her, and Huang Ziliang left, leaving the group of handsome men there looking at each other in bewilderment.
