DS Chapter 1

When mentioning the young prince of Yu Country, everyone’s first reaction is that he is famous for his romance.

That’s a genius who dared to visit the brothel when he was studying under Bai Xiaosheng at the age of sixteen.

However, some people also raised their doubts. A man who is seven points more beautiful than a courtesan, would he really go to a courtesan? However, it is well known that he has visited all the brothels in Yu Country and Yunmeng Ze.

This young prince, who was famous for his looks and flirting, was actually Bai Xiaosheng’s proud student.

Bai Xiaosheng once said when he left the sect: “Those who get Shaoze and Qing Lan can get the world.”

Among them, Shaoze is the current War of God of Qi Country, Chu Yi, and Qing Lan is the young prince of Yu Country, Yu Lin.

However, Yu Pei, the ruler of Yu Country, had always been at odds with his younger brother, never listening to advice, and even believing in slander and leading to a disastrous defeat. He was also extremely greedy for life and afraid of death, so he gave Qi Country money and beauties when Qi asked for them, and even gave away his own brother.

Yu Lin went to the palace overnight to argue with Yu Pei, but to no avail, so he broke relationship with him on the spot. As for what the two argued about, it is unknown. As for the content of the dispute between the two, there is no way to know, but it is known that Yu Lin beat up his useless brother and left the palace with an ugly face. The next day, Yu Lin took off the dragon robe representing the prince, and was forced to board a carriage with gold, silver and treasures to be transported to Qi Country in a single piece of clothing.

Qi Huan, the king of Qi Country, is not a stingy person. If there are treasures in the tribute from Yu Country, he will take them all out and hold an auction. All the money earned from the auction will be put into the national treasury for military use.

Whetherin terms of his own value or that peach blossom jade face, Yu Lin is a treasure among treasures.

There is no precedent for auctioning beauties at auctions. Even if Qi Huan wants to recruit Yu Lin, he has to follow the rules. If the king exercises privileges in this matter, the scholar-official class will not agree.

If you want it, you have to pay for it.

Qi Huan had to abide by the auction rules he had set. All withdrawals from the treasury went through the Ministry of Revenue, so they had to be used properly. Things like auctioning beauties sounded very lewd and immoral, and the Ministry of Revenue would never approve it, so Qi Huan had to pay out of his own pocket.

“…Next is the last item of this auction – Prince of Yu Country.” As the auctioneer’s voice fell, a huge cage was lifted up. Yu Lin’s hands were hung, and the whole person was half suspended in the air. His long hair fell down, covering that beautiful face, making it difficult to distinguish whether he was a man or a woman.

Once they enter the auction house, they become items for trading, and the noble princes of neighboring countries are no exception.

“The starting price is ten thousand taels, and each increase must be at least one thousand taels. Gentlemen, please.” The crowd, who were eager to move after seeing that unparalleled seductive face, suddenly quieted down: ten thousand taels, without a certain amount of family wealth, it is impossible to take it out.

“Eleven thousand taels.” A wealthy businessman who was fond of homosexuality immediately started to quote the price.

Once someone took the lead, others would follow, and the price gradually rose to 30,000 taels.

“I took the liberty of feeding him some medicine.” Seeing that no one was bidding any more, the auctioneer used an abacus to gently lift up Yu Lin’s hair, revealing his rosy face, and smiled ambiguously, “Prince of Yu Country is famous for his erotic reputation. There should be many gentlemen present who do not mind eating meat or vegetables. Just imagine, such a high and mighty person would obediently lie down under me. What a wonderful feeling that would be.”

He could have been a talented strategist, but he was dragged down by his appearance.

“Thirty-five thousand taels.” The original businessman gritted his teeth and pressed out the silver he brought this time.

Thirty-five thousand taels is something an ordinary family could not spend in several lifetimes. Just thinking about using it to buy a man is a waste of money.

“Forty thousand taels.” Qi Huan finally quoted his price. Forty thousand taels to buy a strategist who could conquer the world was not a loss at all.

Qi Huan has been subsidizing the deficit of the national treasury from time to time over the years, and has accumulated more than 40,000 taels. He estimated that it should be enough, after all, no one would be so ignorant to grab people from a king.

But there just happened to be such a person.

Xiao Mianzhi, the chief steward and strategist of the General’s Mansion, finally failed to hold back his General.He watched helplessly as the rumored impotent God of War of the Great Qi suddenly stood up and stepped aside with a headache.

“What’s wrong with General Chu?” Qi Huan heard the movement and looked in his direction, concerned.

Chu Yi ignored him, staring at Yu Lin’s eyes that were reddened by the medicine, and spit out five words with a green face: “I pay fifty thousand taels.”

The people in the entire building were silent for about half an incense stick, and began to whisper-

“What is General Chu doing buying a beauty back when he can’t get it up? As a vase?”

“I heard that Young Prince Yu has seen all the women in the brothels, maybe he can cure General Chu’s impotence?”

“Chu Shuai looks so gloomy, maybe he has some strange fetish?”

“Didn’t General Chu and Young Prince Yu both become Bai Xiaosheng’s disciples? Perhaps it was to save him?”

“Save? Would you bankrupt yourself to save someone who has no relation to you, and could even be considered an enemy?”

Regardless of how others maliciously speculated, Chu Yi remained indifferent. Once he was sure that no one would bid against him, he lightly tapped his toes and leaped onto the high platform.

With one stroke, he cut open the lock of the cage and let the person out.

Without support, Yu Lin slid down and was caught in a full embrace by Chu Yi. The warm breath fell on Chu Yi’s neck, making him somewhat stiff. His wide robe isolated the slightly trembling person in his arms from the many prying eyes below the stage, and only then did Chu Yi coldly give a rough check.

That pair of porcelain-white wrists had been worn out, revealing flesh and blood. The most serious was the palm of his hand. In order to avoid losing his composure, Yu Lin tightly held a small piece of porcelain. Now he was in a very chaotic state, Chu Yi couldn’t pry open his hand, and he didn’t dare to force it.

Chu Yi felt the body against him move uncomfortably. The porcelain piece in Yu Lin’s palm was gripped tighter, and two beads of blood rolled down onto Chu Yi’s robe. He slightly raised his eyes, and in those affectionate peach blossom eyes was an unresolved fog. His thin lips slightly opened, and he weakly spat out a word: “Scram…”

Chu Yi lifted his chin and patiently asked several times: “Take a good look at who I am?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Lin’s expression slightly settled, slowly blinked, and after seeing the handsome face close at hand, he suddenly lost all his strength and slumped in his arms, his voice somewhat choked: “…Shaoze.”

Chu Yi turned his head back, his eyes gloomily looking at the auctioneer: “Where is the antidote?”

The auctioneer shakily brought out the antidote.

Regardless of Qi Huan, whose face was equally bad, Chu Yi picked up Yu Lin and strode towards the door. Xiao Mianzhi resignedly took his saber and the antidote, instructed the auction house’s people to go back to the General’s Mansion for money, and then left with Chu Yi.

Just as Xiao Mianzhi was preparing to get on the carriage, he was stopped by Chu Yi: “What are you doing?”

Xiao Mianzhi looked puzzled and handed him the antidote and the knife: “Going back to the General’s Mansion.”

Chu Yi decisively refused without thinking: “Yu Lin is inside, there’s no room, you should just walk back by yourself.”

Xiao Mianzhi: ??? This carriage can accommodate four people without a problem, you’re telling me there’s no room?!
