With a chuckle, Xiao Chen waved his hand towards Han Che and said, "Che'er, as a father, I still have some things to do. Can you go out and play first?"

Han Che was a smart kid. Even though Xiao Chen didn't say it explicitly, he knew that the next thing must be important, so he nodded heavily immediately.

After Han Che walked away, Xiao Chen looked at Ouyang Xu and murmured: "Do you know that if one day in the future his martial arts skills are higher than yours, you may die in his hands at any time?"

Ouyang Xu chuckled lightly, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Isn't that what the prince wants to see?"

Xiao Chen burst out laughing, patted Ouyang Xu's shoulder lightly and said, "Why do I like to hang out with martial arts practitioners like you? It's because you are all straight people and don't have anything to do with twists and turns. Just do it."

Ouyang Xu said: "Then I will think that the prince is complimenting me."

Sitting back on the stone bench, Xiao Chen poured a glass of wine for each of Ouyang Xu and Xue Wuwei, then raised the glass and said, "Want some?"

The two of them didn't show any pretense, they picked up the Li Huo Shao on the table and took a sip.

Xiao Chen pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the two of them to sit down. Then Xiao Chen walked to Ouyang Xu and said, "If I were you, I would hold back when I was teaching Han Che. At least in the future, if we turn against each other and become enemies, I would still be able to help him."

Have a backup plan to counter him."

Ouyang Xu glanced at Xiao Chen in surprise and said, "Is the prince warning me?"

Xiao Chen smiled warmly and said, "This is advice."

Ouyang Xu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "No matter what grudges Han Che had with me before, at least now, I am Han Che's master and master. I will naturally spare no effort when teaching him. This is the principle of a warrior, so

In this regard, I won’t bother you, Your Majesty.”

Xiao Chen glanced at Xue Wuwei who was standing aside. Xue Wuwei nodded slightly, agreeing with Ouyang Xu's statement.

Xiao Chen smiled and continued: "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. The reason I came to you this time is to ask you what you think of Ye Zhichu and Youying."

"You also know that I am about to leave the city, and now, the shadow is waiting for me outside. If I make a mistake, my little life will have to be handed over here. I am still young, don't I want to do more?

In terms of how many years of life you have, apart from other things, it would be good to have a few more little girls."

Mentioning Ye Zhichu and Youying, Xue Wuwei's face instantly became solemn.

"My lord, do you really want to face the shadow?"

Looking at Xue Wuwei's appearance, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "What? The shadow is scary?"

Xue Wuwei pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's terrible. If it is not necessary, it would be better for the prince to stay in the post house."

Xiao Chen was startled: "So, even you, Xue Wuwei, are not their opponent?"

Xue Wuwei said: "The organization of Shadow is Ye Zhichu's top combat team, especially famous for assassinations. No one knows how many powerful people there are in Shadow and how strong they are.

, but it is undeniable that throughout the world, Shadow is one of the best in the assassination world."

"Now I should be in the realm of my true self, one-on-one, and I am not afraid of anyone. But facing the group of demons that haunt the night, I don't feel confident."

Xiao Chen's expression became complicated. This was the first time he saw the fearless Xue Wuwei showing such a timid look.

Turning to look at Ouyang Xu, Xiao Chen said, "What about you, do you think so too?"

Ouyang Xu took a deep breath and said: "Xue Wuwei is right, Your Majesty, the shadows are scary. No one knows how strong they are and how many people there are. Your Majesty rashly left the city, even if there are thousands of heroes in the Pavilion."

With the bodyguards accompanying me, Xue Wuwei and I, and at most Senior Zhang, we can’t guarantee that it will be foolproof.”

"For the sake of your safety, I advise you to think twice."

Xiao Chen nodded: "But neither Ji Wushuang nor Diexiang object to my leaving the city."

Ouyang Xu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Chen looked at Ouyang Xu and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hide it."

Ouyang Xugong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as a subordinate of General Bai Qi, it may be inappropriate for me to say this, but what I must tell you is that no matter what relationship they have with you, they are not your own people after all.

, as the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different minds. It would be better for the prince to be more considerate to them."

With a gentle smile, Xiao Chen waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand, you can go down first."

The two of them cupped their hands and were about to leave, when Xiao Chen suddenly said: "By the way, let me go ahead and leave the city for a banquet early tomorrow morning. Also, pass this news to Ye Zhichu. After all, they have carefully destroyed such a big chapter for me."

, it would be disrespectful if I didn't even say a word."

Xue Wuwei and Ouyang Xu looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what Xiao Chen was thinking.

When this news was passed to Ye Zhichu, it was equivalent to telling everyone in Yangnancheng. This was not a good thing for Xiao Chen.

Furthermore, when did Dandy Xiao ever care about etiquette?

But after all, it was the master's wish, and the two of them did not dare to go against it, so they could only nod and leave.

Watching the two people's backs, Xiao Chen had a meaningful expression on his face. When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he happened to watch Ouyang Xu leaving with Han Che.

"Master, what did father tell you?" Han Che followed Ouyang Xu and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't say anything. I just want to go out to a banquet tomorrow and let us go with him."

"Going to a banquet? Is it delicious? Master, can you tell my father and ask him to take me with him too."

"no."

"Oh, when will you come back, master?"

"When your father comes back, we will come back."

"Then will my mother also go with me?"

"have no idea."

"Oh, Master, don't keep a straight face all the time. Can you smile more? In the worst case, I will cook for you from now on?"

"Hey, master, please walk slower, I can't keep up with you..."

The two of them walked away while talking, and gradually drifted away. Xiao Chen took a deep breath, and then waved his hand towards the darkness.

A man wearing the uniform of Qunying Pavilion came up from nowhere, bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Chen murmured: "Go tell Ouyang Xu that he won't follow him when he leaves the city tomorrow. Keep an eye on Han Che. That's the only thing I ask of him."

The man nodded slightly, flew up to the treetops, and disappeared.

…

It was extremely quiet in Yangnan that night, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop clearly.

There was not a single pedestrian on the street, but every house had closed its doors, turned off the lights and went to sleep at midnight.

There was a bright full moon hanging in the sky, which was the only source of light in this dark Yangnan City. Xiao Chen stood in his small courtyard, looking at the full moon in a daze.

Suddenly, a phantom suddenly struck from the night sky in the dark night and headed straight for Xiao Chen. The dazzling cold light was as cold as ice against the bright moon.

After coming back to his senses, Xiao Chen could see clearly. It was an assassin in black holding a long sword. The sword came with great violence. From the moment the sword was drawn to the time Xiao Chen reacted, the tip of the sword was already less than half a meter away from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's expression did not change. In fact, after hearing so many rumors about Youying, he had already thought of this day. However, he did not expect that the time of the assassination would be chosen the night before he left the city.

Yes, everyone will think that Xiao Chen will leave the city tomorrow to accept the challenge of Youying. Who would have thought that Youying would take action at this time?

The assassin is indeed an assassin, he behaves in a certain way and does not follow normal people's thinking at all.

The long sword was like wind, as fast as lightning. Just before the tip of the sword was about to touch Xiao Chen's neck, a roar of steel colliding suddenly came from the night sky.

"clang!"

Sparks flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes like fireworks.

Then, the black-clothed assassin's powerful sword was suddenly thrown away. The man in black flew up, turned around and disappeared into the old locust tree outside the courtyard.

Xue Wuwei appeared next to Xiao Chen and asked thoughtfully: "My lord, are you okay?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and just looked at the locust tree blankly.

The night and the locust tree were intertwined, and the locust tree in the night was like a ferocious Shura, glaring at Xiao Chen with eyes as big as copper bells.

At the top of the locust tree, a black shadow slowly appeared on the willow tree. I saw his feet stepping on the branches as thin as fingers, but his whole body stood firmly on it, as light as a feather. Indistinctly, in the black clothes

Behind the person, several black shadows could be seen moving.

Although he couldn't see the appearance of the person coming, Xiao Chen knew that the man in black must be looking at him.

"I have long heard that Prince Xiao has a general with superb martial arts skills. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved." On the willow tree, the man in black chuckled in an extremely hoarse voice.

Seeing that the assassin was so blatant, Xue Wuwei was furious, holding his sword and preparing to rush out, but Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to stop him.

Smiling softly, Xiao Chen looked at the man in black and said: "A dandy like me, if he doesn't have two capable losers in the world, he might be killed by others at some point. Do you think this is the case?

reason?"

The man in black laughed, nodded and said: "Indeed, it is indeed amazing to be able to stop my shadow C-level assassin from attacking with all my strength. The background around the prince is indeed amazing."

"It's just that what I want to tell the prince is that the people I, Shadow, want to kill, have not failed even once."

"Really?" Xiao Chen said with a faint smile: "Normally, Youying is also a world-famous force. You know that I will go out to fight tomorrow, so why are you in a hurry? Is it possible that my life, Xiao Chen, is so attractive to you?

?”

Black Shadow smiled solemnly: "The purpose of Shadow's existence is to kill people. Killing and competition are two completely different fields. For us, killing the target is our only pursuit. As for what means and methods to use,

Whenever, that’s okay.”

"Furthermore, the Lord invited you to a banquet in Tiger Roaring City, and deliberately asked me, Shadow, to test whether you are qualified to attend the banquet. I, Shadow, have been established for many years, so why can't I test whether you, Xiao Chen, are qualified to confront you?

Face us?"
