Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

34  Crown Prince And Assassination

' I need to quickly feed this little beast and restore it to the third layer. Otherwise, I can never use the treasures enchanted by the Pot of Miracles.' Jia Hao gave a wry smile as he walked around.

Holding eight hundred taels of gold, Jia Hao couldn't help but feel a little rich. As he walked, he saw a tall building before him.

" Hongxin Tower? This looks like a restaurant." Jia Hao walked inside and saw the inside was bustling with the crowd.

" Welcome, Young Master, how can I help you?"

A female waiter appeared before Jia Hao instantly as she spoke with a smiling face.

" Well, I thought I would taste the famous delicacies of Hongxin Tower." Jia Hao smiled. " But, I think it's a bit crowded here."

" If Young Noble is willing, I can take you to the VIP Floor." The girl replied instantly. " It's just the money…"

" How much?"

" 5000 taels of silver, Young noble."

" Here, take this."

Jia Hai didn't mind as he gave fifty taels of gold to the waitress.

Seeing the glittering gold, the waitress's eyes shone as she nodded. " Please come upstairs, Young noble."

On the fifth floor, it was truly calm. Jia Hao was amazed when he saw the exquisite and detailed craftsmanship of wood and stones on the VIP floor. Not to mention, the noises from downstairs were completely gone, and he could only hear the clinking of utensils and murmuring of fewer people.

Jia Hao picked his seat and the waiter served some steamed bun and fragrant tea immediately.

" This is free of charge, Young noble." The waiter smiled. The benefit of VIP Floor."

" Also, What would you like to eat?"

" The three best dishes of your restaurant and a jar of wine." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice.

" Very well, Sir." As Jia Hao kept making mental notes about the restaurant, he saw a group of people entering the VIP section.

A beautiful waitress guided them to a reserved seat. However, other than a young man, the three bodyguards remained standing beside him.

Jia Hao used his Sage's Divine Eyes as he looked at the young man.

[Name: Li Qing]

[ Age: 26]

[Remarks: Crown prince of Yan Kingdom, Seventh stage of Profound Awakening Stage, Possessor of Blue Internal Qi]

[Recent Future Point: Twenty breaths later, He will die due to the poison in wine]

' Oh???' Jia Hao's eyes turned wide when he heard that. Crown prince of Yan Kingdom? What is he doing here?'

' Well, Who cares?' Jia Hao shrugged as he waited for his dishes. However, when he gazed at one of his bodyguards, Jia Hao almost spat out his tea.

[Name: Zhou Yan]

[ Age: 61]

[ Remarks: The Imperial Bodyguard of Crown Prince, Third stage of Innate Realm]

[ Recent Future Points: After a few moments, he arrests everyone in the room on suspicion of assassinating the Crown Prince. Few of them tried to resist, dying by his hands in the process]

Jia Hao almost had an internal meltdown when he heard that. Without delaying a second, he walked toward Li Qing.

" Fellow brother, may I sit with you?" Jia Hao smiled as he stood beside Li Qing.

Although Li Qing was 26 years old, he looked like 21 year old young man. With sharp eyebrows and placid eyes, he naturally gave off an aura of elegance and nobility.

Zhou Yan and other guards became slightly alarmed. But Li Qing waved his hand. " Well, Why does brother wish to sit with me?"

" Well, One should drink wine alone only if he is sad. And, I am not feeling sat currently." Jia Hao laughed lightly.

" Shall I?"

" Go ahead."

Jia Hao's eyes fell on the jar of wine placed on the table before Li Qing.

[ Poisonous Yellow Wave Wine: A yellowish rice wine. This jar is mixed with Heart Cleaving Dark Poison]

Jia Hao's eyebrows twitched when he saw that. After seeing the future events of Zhou Yan, Jia Hao felt a wave of cold air on his neck. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The death of a crown prince is a very huge scandal and it can take the entire kingdom in a bloody storm.

No one knows how many heads would roll due to this. And in this age, no one will bother to check if the dead ones are innocent or not.

' Who knows if I would be among the people who died in this room? With my strength, escaping from an Innate realm master is impossible.'

Suddenly, Jia Hao staggered as he pushed the wine jar to the side. With a bang, the wine jar shattered as it spilled on the ground.

" Oh, How clumsy I am!"

Jia Hao cupped his fist as he looked at Li Qing. " Fellow Brother, I seek your forgiveness. How about I treat you to another jar of wine?"

The bodyguards were alarmed as they looked at Jia Hao with suspicion. However, Li Qing was calmer as he smiled. " No worries, Brother."

" However…" His voice became a whisper as he leaned close. " Why do I feel you broke that jar deliberately?'

Jia Hao was surprised when he heard that, feeling Li Qing had seen through his trick.

" Well, Brother…Would you believe if I say, a stinky and poisonous fly fell in it?" Jia Hao whispered back.

Li Qing's pupils shrank for a moment before returning to normal." Why not? I believe it."

He gave a side glance at Zhou Yan as if he was gesturing something. Zhou Yan nodded as he turned around and left.

After that, a few maids came and asked the remaining guests to leave. There weren't many guests in the first place. And after a while, everyone left. " Brother can be assured now. I am glad that you helped me." Li Qing spoke. " My name is Qing Li. What is brother's name?"

" My name is Jia Hao." Jia Hao chuckled. " If Brother Qing still has some doubts, you can check the wine."

One of the bodyguards knelt and wiped a silver needle in the spoilt wine. His brows furrowed when he saw the silver turning black instantly.

" This is…This should be impossible. Young Master, we already tested the wine before. But how did it get poisonous?"

" Maybe someone added poison in the midway?"

Li Qing frowned. But soon enough, Zhou Yan returned. Jia Hao felt a light shiver through his body when he saw some faint blood stains on Zhou Yan's shoes.

" It was a Profound Awakening Realm assassin." Zhou Yan's voice turned cold. " Young Master, maybe we should leave…"

" No need, Since Brother Jia saved me, I guess I am lucky." Li Qing chuckled.

Jia Hao placed his wine on the table as the waitress served various dishes on the table. " I always love this Yellow Wave Wine. It really gives a good sting." Li Qing drank a mouthful of rice wine as he laughed. However, he saw Jia Hao's expression wasn't very good.

" What happened, Brother Jia? You didn't like the wine?" Li Qing asked in a curious voice.

" Uhh…A bit." Jia Hao gave a fake smile. However, this wine tasted almost the same as some low quality beer. ' Hmm, the distillation technique in ancient times wasn't developed. This is the best quality wine for a common man? Even a kid won't get drunk by this.'

After that, he tried eating the stuffed beans and steak. The stuffed buns were pretty plain and the steak was very chewy. Jia Hao felt his appetite vanishing when he tasted it.

' Although I can feel the flavor of soybean paste, it can't match the soy sauce at all.' Jia Hao sighed. " I guess brother Jia doesn't have much appetite." Li Qing smiled.

" Perhaps." Jia Hao laughed lightly. " Maybe I should go back and eat from the hand of my wife?"

" Brother Jia is married?"

" Just two days ago."

" Oh?" Li Qing nodded with a smile. " I hope your marriage life goes well."

" Brother Jia, Since you have helped me, it's my duty to repay your favor. How should I repay it?"

' Just don't behead me.' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly. " Ahem, Brother Qing, don't say like that. After all, saving a life is greater than building a seven floor pagoda."

" I hope Brother Qing remains cautious in the future." Jia Hao spoke as he got up. He already eaten enough and doesn't wish to eat more.

" Brother Jia, here, Keep this." Li Qing smiled as he passed a red plaque to Jia Hao.

" This is a VIP plaque of Hongxin Tower. If you show this, they will treat you as a VIP and never ask for money."

" Thank you for this token, Brother Qing." Jia Hao laughed lightly as he accepted it.

 ' Heh, I wonder if I ever come here again. No way I will eat bland food. I am not a westerner.'

As Jia Hao left, Li Qing's gaze became serious. " Someone even tried to poison me and none of you noticed?"

" Only a few people knew where I am going. Zhou Yan, I want to see the traitor's head till evening."

" It shall be done, Young Lord." Zhou Yan bowed.

" Also, Dig into Jia Hao's background. He seems to be interesting. But I don't think he is a martial artist."

" Indeed. I also had a feeling that he never practiced martial arts. But his aura is pretty stable." Zhou Yan nodded with confirmation.

" Interesting. I wonder which family young master he is."
