After hearing Huangfuchen's words, Xiao Yifeng's eyes also flashed with surprise.
Xiao Yifeng had heard a lot of rumors about the Crown Prince, but Huangfu Chen was by no means the kind of person who was overflowing with sympathy.
Xiao Yifeng didn't understand why he would help him like this tonight at first, but now it seems that he probably knows the reason.
It turns out that the person Ling Xuewei mentioned before that she met in Yipin Pavilion is His Highness the Crown Prince!
This is too coincidental.
"Are you Xiao Yifeng?" At this time, Huangfuchen's eyes fell on Xiao Yifeng.
"Yes, Your Highness knows about me?"
Huangfu Chen nodded, "Of course, your reputation in Shura Hall is still very good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yifeng's expression changed slightly.
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Don't be surprised. As the crown prince of a country, it's not difficult for me to know this. You don't have to be wary. I won't do anything to you, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you just now."
The two were silent.
Thinking about it, if Huangfu Chen wanted to do something to them, there would be no need to beat around the bush. His status and strength alone would be enough.
"I have also heard about your situation. The Xiao family is one of the four great families. It is not a wise move for you to be an enemy of their entire family."
"Since Your Highness knows my situation, you should know that I have no choice."
Xiao Yifeng is in his current situation because of the situation. If he could, he would never choose to be an enemy of such a powerful opponent.
"I can help you."
Huangfuchen's words made Xiao Yifeng's expression change slightly.
"Are you kidding, Your Highness? Although you are the crown prince of a country, the Xiao family is also your subject. I don't know why you chose to help me?"
An evil smile appeared at the corner of Huangfuchen's lips, and he looked at Ling Xuewei beside him, "What do you think, Mr. Ling?"
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly, "I am just an ordinary person, how can I know what His Highness is thinking?"
"Ha...Ling Qing is dishonest. You should know that the relationship between the aristocratic family and the royal family is one of ebb and flow."
It's not that Ling Xuewei doesn't understand.
The four major families are growing stronger and monopolizing power, which is not a good thing for the royal family of Qinglong Kingdom. If the royal family wants to centralize power, it needs to weaken the power of the family and cultivate its own power.
It's just that Ling Xuewei doesn't want to explore the political struggle of Qinglong Kingdom, but is very confused. The man in front of her looks unfathomable, why did she decide to cooperate with them?
Ling Xuewei doesn't think her and Xiao Yifeng's abilities are worthy of the prince's special treatment.
At least so far, that's the case.
"How can I trust that His Highness is not lying to us?"
Ling Xuewei's words made Huangfu Chen chuckle, "Just because I am the crown prince of the Qinglong Kingdom."
Ling Xuewei's face was expressionless, "What about the prince of a country? In the face of interests, they are just ordinary people."
Huangfu Chen was startled, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was joyful, and even An Jiu outside could hear it clearly.
An Jiu was surprised.
His Highness actually laughed? How long has it been since he heard His Highness smile? What happened inside?
Ling Xuewei looked at him laughing and frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Haha... No, I just think Ling Qing is a wonderful person. I really didn't make a mistake."
Ling Xuewei was even more confused. She glanced at the man in front of her strangely, feeling that His Highness the Crown Prince was really weird.
After a while, Huangfuchen finally smiled enough, looked at Ling Xuewei and said, "If I had met Ling Qing earlier, my life would not be boring."
"Your Highness, please stop joking. I don't think I have such great abilities."
Huangfu Chen stopped teasing him and said with a straight face, "Actually, you should be able to feel that I have no ill intentions towards the two of you. What happened tonight can be regarded as a meeting gift from me to you. As for whether you want to cooperate with me, you
There’s no need to rush to answer, it’s not too late to tell me after you’ve thought about it.”
Even though he said this, Huangfu Chen's expression showed confidence.
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Ling Xuewei. Ling Xuewei understood and immediately replied, "We will consider your Highness's opinion."
Then seeing that the time was almost up, he said, "It's getting late, so I won't bother Your Highness any more and will take my leave."
The two stood up, saluted Huangfuchen, then turned and left.
"Ling Qing, wait a moment."
At this time, Huangfuchen suddenly stopped Ling Xuewei, stood up and walked over, "I have something I want to talk to Ling Qing alone."
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly, and then she said to Xiao Yifeng, "Go out and wait for me first."
Xiao Yifeng nodded and left first.
"What does Your Highness want to say?"
"Ling Qing, come and sit down." Huangfuchen took Ling Xuewei's hand and led her to sit down at the table.
The unfamiliar touch on her hand made Ling Xuewei frown slightly, but she still held back and said nothing.
After all, she is a man now. If she reacts too much, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?
What's more, in front of this unpredictable man.
Huangfu Chen noticed that the young man's slender hand in his palm seemed to be able to be grasped with a fist, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Ling Qing looks very young." Huangfu Chen suddenly asked as they sat down.
Ling Xuewei naturally retracted her hand, sat down, and replied calmly, "Next year I will be crowned."
"so."
"Your Highness, what do you want me to say?"
"I just want to chat with Ling Qing alone. After all, we didn't have the chance to meet each other several times before." Huangfu Chen made a cup of tea for Ling Xuewei, "Ling Qing just arrived in Qinglong Kingdom?"
"Yes." Ling Xuewei nodded.
"Are you here because of Young Master Xiao?" Huangfu Chen continued to ask.
Ling Xuewei said nothing.
Huangfuchen didn't care and smiled, "Don't blame Ling Qing, I just want to know Ling Qing better."
Ling Xuewei put down the cup, "If Your Highness wants to know about me, it should be easy."
"Indeed, but I think Ling Qing doesn't want anyone to randomly explore your identity and past."
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows slightly.
She didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince was quite respectful. Should she be happy or grateful?
"I didn't expect His Highness to be quite considerate."
"Haha... Is Ling Qing mocking me?" Huangfu Chen raised his eyebrows.
Ling Xuewei smiled lightly, "How could that be?"
Huangfu Chen curled his lips and chuckled silently.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Ling Xuewei lowered her eyes slightly, and the sight above her head made her a little awkward.
She didn't know what the man in front of her wanted to do by leaving her behind, but this implicit and appraising gaze really made her a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, her ears suddenly twitched, and then she raised her head suddenly!
"Shh." Huangfuchen gestured to her to silence her voice. Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly but she said nothing.
Looking out the window, light and shadow flashed by, reflecting on the window like a ghost.
It was extremely quiet outside, except for the occasional call of a warbler, which made the air even more eerie.
At this moment, the top of his head suddenly cracked open! Then several assassins wearing ordinary clothes fell down!
Just as Ling Xuewei was about to make a move, the next second she was grabbed by someone and rushed out of the room!!
When they came outside, they discovered that the shipyard they were in had been surrounded by a group of people!
It was only when she looked at those people wearing ordinary clothes that she finally understood.
It turns out that those people lurking in the dark came to assassinate Huangfuchen!
So, Huangfuchen has been nearby from the beginning? They originally wanted to ambush him, but they didn't expect to encounter Xiao Zhe blocking Xiao Yifeng and the others, so they had to temporarily stop their actions and wait for the opportunity to take action again?
"Heh, it seems they can't wait any longer." Huangfu Chen beside him said quietly, without any panic on his face.
Ling Xuewei looked at An Jiu who rushed out from nowhere and the hundreds of armored soldiers behind him, and was surprised, "Your Highness, you knew there would be an ambush tonight?"
Huangfu Chen said calmly, "These people have been secretly watching my Prince's Mansion for a long time. It is expected that they will take action tonight."
Ling Xuewei was silent.
It seems that Huangfu Chen has long been accustomed to these things, but as the prince of a country, someone blatantly assassinated him. Is the person behind this too bold?
"Ling Qing is wondering, who is so bold and dares to assassinate me?"
Ling Xuewei paused and looked up at Huangfuchen.
"Actually, those who dare to do this and have the ability are just those few people. Ling Qing might as well guess who they are?" Huangfu Chen suddenly asked the question to Ling Xuewei again, with a bit of interest in his eyes.
Ling Xuewei curled her lips slightly and turned her head, "I'm not as smart as Your Highness, and I don't know much about the current situation. How could I guess it?"
"Ha... Ling Qing is really dishonest."
Although Huangfu Chen said this, there was no hint of displeasure on his face.
The two of them stood high on the boat, watching the armored soldiers of the Prince's Mansion capture the assassin with lightning speed. The whole process only cost less than a stick of incense.
During this time of burning incense, Ling Xuewei finally got a taste of the strength of the Prince's Mansion's armored soldiers.
Let's not talk about his guard An Jiu. Although the other armor soldiers are not outstanding individually, they are well-trained.
Especially in terms of combat experience and attack coordination, they have a perfect tacit understanding.
From this we can see how diligently the Prince's Mansion trains troops. We can also see the methods of His Royal Highness the Prince's Majesty.
After a while, after everything calmed down, An Jiu came to report, "Your Highness, everyone has been arrested. Do you want to conduct a rigorous interrogation to find out who is behind the scenes?"
"No need, they will all be killed without mercy."
A simple word can determine the life or death of these people.
At this moment, Huangfu Chen's face is no longer as approachable as before. It seems that now, he is the legendary Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom who is decisive and decisive in killing.
Ling Xuewei lowered her eyes slightly to cover up the flash of dark light. She raised her head and saw Xiao Yifeng hurriedly walking towards her. He looked her up and down and was relieved when he found that she was fine.
At this time, Huangfu Chen came over and said, "Ling Qing was shocked. I failed to entertain you two properly tonight. I am rude to you. When I have the opportunity, I hope you will come to my prince's residence to have a chat with me."
After finishing speaking, he said to An Jiu beside him, "An Jiu, send the two young masters back safely for me."
"No need, His Highness is busy with affairs, so I won't bother you." Xiao Yifeng said, "We can just go back by ourselves, so we won't disturb His Highness too much."
When Huangfu Chen saw this, he didn't force himself and said with a smile, "I'm glad I could chat with you two for so long tonight. I hope we have another chance to meet."
