The Peerless Servant

Chapter 26: The Prince's Request



Huo Chenan looked at the invitation and visiting card in his hand.

To be honest, Huo Chenan really wanted to meet the most popular prostitute in Jinling. It was not because a good man's heart was as big as the sea, but purely to criticize the feudal dregs of brothels.

But there was no way. As the saying goes, a higher official can crush a person. What's more, the prince of Wu, who was many levels higher, could only let down Miss Mudan's kindness.

With the prince's invitation, Huo Chenan soon came to the prince's mansion. Unexpectedly, the prince of Wu actually came out to greet him in person.

This made Huo Chenan alert immediately. Not to mention the huge difference in their identities, the courtesy of the prince of Wu alone made Huo Chenan shudder.

Wouldn't this guy want to rebel? Huo Chenan was sweating in his heart, and he didn't want to get too involved with the prince of Wu.

"Brother Huo, I have heard of your name for a long time." The prince of Wu greeted him enthusiastically.

Huo Chenan replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Highness is too polite. Compared with your Highness's reputation, my humble reputation is like the light of a firefly, how can it compete with the bright moon. It's better not to mention it, it's better not to mention it."

Flattery is always good, and King Wu was very pleased with Huo Chenan's flattery. He then asked: "Why didn't Miss Su Ruyi come?"

Huo Chenan raised his eyebrows slightly, this guy wouldn't fall in love with my girlfriend, right?

"The second young lady has been weak and sick since childhood, and today her old illness happened to relapse and she is recuperating at home."

"Is it because she fell into the river last night?" The prince of Wu asked anxiously.

Huo Chenan continued: "The young lady has tuberculosis, and she did catch a cold yesterday."

Huo Chenan knew that the most clever lie was that every word was true, but the meaning it expressed was a lie.

"What a pity," King Wu showed a look of regret, and then invited Huo Chenan to the mansion.

After both parties sat down, the King of Wu expressed his intention to invite Huo Chenan.

"First, I want to apologize to Brother Huo and Miss Su. If we hadn't been so abrupt yesterday, that disaster wouldn't have happened. To express my apology, I have ordered the craftsmen to build a better pleasure boat. I hope Brother Huo and Miss Su won't dislike it."

"Of course I don't dare." Huo Chenan replied.

"Second, I want to invite Brother Huo and Miss Su to play a song at my father's birthday banquet. Is that okay?"

Huo Chenan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this... is not appropriate?"

"What's wrong?" asked the Prince of Wu.

Huo Chenan said carefully: "We two are just idle and entertaining ourselves. Our humble skills are not suitable for being performed in a refined hall."

The Prince of Wu waved his hand to interrupt Huo Chenan's words and said: "Brother Huo is too modest. I have heard the songs played by Brother Huo and Miss Su on the Qinhuai River. The lyrics and music are so exquisite that it can be said that they are unprecedented. If even your skills are not suitable for being performed in a refined hall, then there is no one in the world who can be performed in a refined hall."

The praise from the Prince of Wu is really high.

Huo Chenan could only change his angle and continue: "King Wu is too kind. It's just that the two songs have a strong Jianghu flavor. Aren't they not suitable for playing at King Wu's birthday banquet?"

Unexpectedly, the Prince of Wu said indifferently: "A real man lives between heaven and earth. The officialdom is one choice, and the long journey of Jianghu is also another choice. How can you care whether the other path is correct just because you choose a different path?"

After these words, Huo Chenan was impressed by King Wu's courage.

He hesitated and said, "Okay, since the prince asked, how dare I not do it? I will not only play a song of "Swordsman" for the prince, but also write another song for the prince to celebrate his birthday." The prince was overjoyed after hearing what Huo Chenan said. "Father's birthday is still three days away, so I will wait for good news from brother Huo." "Your Highness, I have another unwelcome request." Huo Chenan smiled awkwardly. "Just say it!" Prince Wu said generously. "My second daughter is ill and may not be able to come. I hope that your Highness can help fill the missing musicians." Huo Chenan said carefully. "Brother Huo is very worried, but I don't know what kind of musicians we need to find?" Prince Wu asked. "Music player, pipa, flute, big drum, small drum, gong, etc." Huo Chenan said roughly. "Okay, no problem, leave it to me. Tomorrow you come to my house and I promise to find the best musicians for you." The prince of Wu patted his chest and promised.

...

A dock in Jinling.

Several figures were gathering in the warehouse.

Yamamoto Gangmen raised a glass of wine and said to the people kneeling in front: "You are all warriors of the Yamato nation."

"Hi." Everyone responded in unison.

Yamamoto continued: "Three days later, a troupe will enter the Wu Wang Mansion to celebrate the birthday of Wu Wang. At that time, you will disguise yourself as members of the troupe and sneak into the palace to assassinate the prince. You understand."

"Hi." Everyone responded again.

"After you succeed, you will go down the river. I will arrange someone to meet you at the dock."

"Hi."

"I wish the warriors a triumphant return."

Yamamoto Gangmen raised his glass and drank it all, and then smashed the wine bowl to pieces.

"Triumph, triumph, triumph." After three shouts, everyone drank the wine and smashed the wine bowls.

Jinling Tyrant Gang.

Ma Daha was strolling around the hall with his legs apart.

There was no other way. Huo Chenan's foot that could make him infertile made him lie in bed for five days before he could get out of bed. Now he would feel a dull pain in his balls when he walked.

So he walked with his legs apart like he was riding a horse.

Everyone in the gang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh when they saw his weird posture. They were almost hurt.

"Brother, brother."

When Ma Daha was depressed, one of his younger brothers ran over happily.

"If you have something to say, you can fart." Ma Daha said impatiently.

"Brother...Brother, I found the servant who kicked your balls." The younger brother ran and panted while running.

"Where is that bastard?"

Ma Daha stood up excitedly. Because the movement was too large, his two balls were shaking and there was another sharp pain.

"Ouch, I can't let that kid go."

Ma Daha covered his crotch with his hands in pain and squatted down again.

"Brother, that kid is a servant of the Su family." The younger brother hurriedly said.

"Which Su family?" Ma Daha asked with a painful grin.

"The Jinling cloth merchant Su family."

"Damn it, a small merchant family, but the people of the Su family are meddling in other people's business?" Although Ma Daha was rude, he was not stupid. He also knew who to offend and who not to offend.

"No, it was that servant who meddled in other people's business on the road, and the master didn't know." This younger brother also did his homework and answered fluently at this time.

"Okay. Bastard, don't blame your grandfather for being cruel." Ma Daha said hatefully.

"You two keep an eye on that little servant, and if there is a chance..." Ma Daha made a gesture of wiping his neck when he said this.
