"Someone attempted to assassinate Her Highness, and we are in pursuit," the golden-armored guard shouted. Lu Fei exclaimed in shock, "Who would dare to assassinate Her Highness? Men, follow me to capture the assassin!" With that, Lu Fei led a group of cavalry to follow the golden-armored guards in the direction Wang Xuan had fled. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Xiao Ming. The golden-armored guards had no reason to doubt Lu Fei and galloped ahead, with Lu Fei following closely behind. Their…-

"Your Highness, this man has been secretly staring at you throughout the banquet. Such disrespect is unacceptable!" The sudden outburst caught everyone off guard. It was only then that Wang Chengchou realized what had happened. He quickly stood up and apologized, "Your Highness, my son meant no harm. It’s just that Your Highness’s beauty is unparalleled, and he was momentarily captivated." Princess Pingyang chuckled upon hearing this. "You certainly know how to flatter. Since everyone here is a…

Qi Prince's Residence. Princess Pingyang stepped down from her carriage and, upon seeing the scenery within the prince's residence, frowned slightly. In Chang'an, she was accustomed to luxurious mansions. Compared to those, the Qi Prince's residence was indeed rather shabby. The residence lacked the auspicious qilin statues at its entrance, the plaque above the gate wasn't gilded, and even the door knockers were rusted—details that seemed unbefitting of a prince's status. Noticing Princess Pingyang's…

"Fifteen million taels!" Princess Pingyang nearly jumped to her feet in shock. Xiao Ming nodded silently. Her expression stiffened for a moment before Princess Pingyang forced a smile and said, "I didn’t realize that the Prince of Qi is now so wealthy." "Compared to you, Auntie, I’m still far behind. I’ve heard that your assets in Chang'an are quite substantial," Xiao Ming flattered her. "So, what do you think about this matter…?" "Forget it. Since you’ve already made agreements with so many…

"Now, the green ore in front of you is called green vitriol. I've already taught you about this before. Previously, we didn’t have the experimental instruments to work with it, but now that we have these chemical tools, today I will demonstrate how to use green vitriol to produce sulfuric acid. After this experiment, you will be responsible for the production of sulfuric acid," Xiao Ming said. By now, these individuals had mastered the basics of chemistry. In Xiao Ming's view, they had at least the…

"Forget it, forget it. If she wants to come, just make sure to receive her properly when she arrives." Xiao Ming let out a deep sigh. This Princess Pingyang was neither Xiao Ming's half-sister nor his elder sister, but rather his aunt—Xiao Wenxuan's biological younger sister. Xiao Wenxuan doted on his young sister to an extreme degree, almost to the point of indulgence. As a result, Princess Pingyang had grown up spoiled and became utterly lawless in Chang’an. Especially after her consort passed…

"Precisely for this reason, I want you to establish a cavalry unit. At least for now, the best way to deal with cavalry is still cavalry." Historically, cavalry was not phased out until the advent of mechanized forces. Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, the army would need to focus on building a strong cavalry unit for a long time to come. Lu Fei nodded. No matter how excellent infantry formations were, they could only be used for passive defense. Cavalry, on the other hand, was an offensive force,…

The merchants stared at Xiao Ming, and after his words fell, there was a brief silence. Finally, Ding Wanquan was the first to speak. He said, "Your Highness said that you cannot easily agree, which means there is still a chance for us. We hope Your Highness can clarify." "Please clarify, Your Highness," the other merchants echoed in unison. Xiao Ming glanced at Ding Wanquan. This old man was indeed good at reading people, which was why he had amassed such a fortune. However, Xiao Ming wasn't someone…

In the dim light of the evening, the merchants who had come to visit Xiao Ming gradually departed. Xiao Ming had instructed Luluo to hand over the recorded donations to Li Kaiyuan. These merchants had only made verbal promises, and whether they would fulfill them remained uncertain. However, Xiao Ming wasn’t worried about them breaking their promises. The introduction of the membership system had stripped these merchants of any excuse to use the names of feudal lords or princes to curry favor. Through…

"Brother Wang, since His Highness is unwilling, there must be a reason. Are you here to upset His Highness this time?" Qin Mu said lazily. Compared to the Wang family, the Qin family was closer to Xiao Ming. However, the incident in Cangzhou had severely weakened the Qin family, and they harbored some resentment toward Xiao Ming. But this resentment could only be buried deep in their hearts, as the incident had shown them that Prince Qi no longer needed to cater to their whims. "Brother Qin, why would…
