Chapter 453 Hey, are you threatening me?
It must be said that Tianxiang Tower has been able to stand firm in the capital city where land is so valuable for so many years. Besides having a strong backing, they also have some real talent. Compared to the formal performances in the palace that are all about showing off skills, the dancers and entertainers here, although their skill levels vary, still have a certain charm.
“You sang well, Thirteen. Take this silver to this Miss Miaoyun and tell her that I really like her voice. Consider this silver as a gift to buy her some cosmetics she likes.”
Thirteen weighed the money pouch in his hand and knew that his sixth brother's habit of spending money like water had struck again. He looked up through the curtain at the figures on the small stage not far away, sighed helplessly, got up, lifted the curtain, and went out.
Now that the money had been given, Yinzhuo wouldn't concern himself with the aftermath. After listening to music for more than an hour, he was getting tired. The private room in Tianxiang Tower was quite warm, so he simply got up, walked to the couch behind him, took off his shoes, and lay down.
"Hey, why did it stop? Keep playing the music and dancing! Thirteen, Fourteen, you don't need to worry about me. I'm going to sleep. You guys watch your show. Let's not bother each other."
Since Yinzhuo wanted to sleep, the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers didn't have anyone come over to sing. Instead, they called over dancers and had several jugs of fine wine served. The two brothers enjoyed the singing and dancing while drinking together.
Yinzhuo didn't get to sleep for long. He was still groggy when he was woken up by the noise and commotion outside. Dexi helped him up from the bed, and he looked around but didn't see the thirteenth or fourteenth princes. This discovery made him instantly awake.
"Dexi, don't tell me that it's your thirteenth and fourteenth masters who are fighting outside right now."
Faced with Yinzhuo's question, Dexi was momentarily speechless. "No, Your Highness, your question is far too tricky. This servant really has no way to answer it."
Dexi had served by Yinzuo's side for so many years, and Yinzuo believed he knew him quite well. As soon as he saw Dexi's appearance, he knew he had guessed correctly. The people fighting outside were his two troublesome younger brothers.
"Come on, tell me what's going on. Don't tell me they're still playing the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act at their age."
There was a window in the private room facing the lobby on the first floor. Yinzhu got up, walked over, and pushed open the window, where he saw the chaotic scene downstairs.
Thirteen and fourteen are undoubtedly strong fighters, and even when facing multiple opponents, they held their own for a time. But what about the person they were fighting? At first glance, it was clear that he wasn't from the capital.
“Akshang, who are those people fighting downstairs with Thirteen and Fourteen? Judging from their clothes and appearance, they seem to be from the grasslands, but they don’t look like they’re from any of the Mongolian tribes.”
Yinzhuo's suspicion that the group downstairs wasn't from the Mongol tribes was based on several reasons. Firstly, the princes and nobles of the various Mongol tribes were summoned by Kangxi almost every few years, so they couldn't possibly not recognize the thirteenth and fourteenth princes.
Moreover, even if some small tribal leaders had never been summoned by Kangxi, they were weak and would not dare to be so arrogant in the capital city full of powerful figures. Just look at the attitude of the group below who were fighting against the thirteenth and fourteenth emperors, and you can tell that they were quite arrogant.
"Sir, you guessed right. See that man sitting down there? That's Galdan Tsering, the son of Tsewang Arabtan, the current leader of the Dzungar tribe. It's said that they came to the capital to seek help, and the reason they clashed with the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes was entirely because their attitude was too arrogant..."
Yinzhuo had truly seen something new today. In all his years, apart from himself, he had never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant in asking for help.
“Akshan, you don’t need to stay here with me anymore. Go outside and call all our men in. Take those bastards down and send them to jail for a few days. I don’t believe that after starving them for a few days, they’ll still have the energy to shout like that.”
When Prince Yinzhuo, the thirteenth, and the fourteenth princes went out, they naturally brought a large number of people with them. Although Yinzhuo left all his people outside because he found it troublesome, how far was it between the inside and outside of the house? Akshang was fast on his feet and soon went out to bring them in.
There's a saying that goes, "Many hands make light work." With so many people, the situation on the field changed dramatically. Although Ce Ling had brought quite a few people, Yin Zuo had even more. Everyone rushed forward and quickly pinned Ce Ling and his men to the ground.
"Dexi, let's go down and take a look. I want to see if they can still be arrogant after being pinned to the ground."
As it turns out, he's no coward at all. Even now that he's been pinned to the ground, he's still not backing down.
Yinzhuo looked at Ce Ling, who was still spouting nonsense while lying on the ground, turned around and gave Dexi a look. Dexi immediately went over and swung his arm to slap the person on the ground.
"If you know what's good for you, I advise you to shut your mouth. Otherwise, I'll consider myself a coward if I don't knock out all your teeth today. I heard you came to the capital for help because of the snow disaster on the grasslands. Why are you still being so arrogant and provocative? Haven't you heard the saying, 'When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head'? If you're asking for help, you have to have the right attitude. Hatu, take your men and lock them all up in jail. Starve them for a few days. When they stop being so unruly, then drag them out."
Although Ce Ling is arrogant, he is not stupid. He can tell us the purpose of their trip, which means he knows their identities. If he knows their identities and still dares to lock them up, then his identity must not be simple. Judging from the attitude of the person in front of him, he must be at least a member of the royal family with real power.
"Wait a minute, young master. Although we were the ones who provoked you first, you've already started a fight. Now you want to lock us up in jail and starve us for a few days? Isn't that going a bit too far? Do you know who I am? If your emperor finds out what you've done, he will definitely not forgive you."
Hey, you're threatening me, aren't you? If you had just brought up my fourth brother to scare me, I would have considered letting you go. Even though you've come all the way to the capital, didn't you at least do some research beforehand? The person I fear least in the whole world is His Majesty the Emperor, whom you're talking about.
"Alright, stop worrying about me. What you need to do now is to obediently follow Hatu. That way you'll suffer less. As for whether the Emperor will spare me, that's not up to you. Since we were able to defeat your Dzungar tribe once, we can defeat you a second and a third time. Hatu, stop standing there and take him away."
