Chapter 21 The Identity of Li Xingkong and Li Ruoxue
In the morning, an army arrived from outside. When they arrived, the leading soldier waved his hand, and this well-trained army quickly surrounded the inn.
"You all stay here, I can go up alone." The soldier ordered the soldiers and walked into the inn alone.
Pedestrians passing by stopped one after another. The army they recognized was the guard of Fengcheng, and the soldier leading it was Cao Feng, the captain of the guard. The status of the guard in Fengcheng was not low, even ordinary people
Soldiers also have to be carefully selected and undergo special training before they can join the team. They are all very powerful and are usually responsible for the security of Fengcheng. Now, so many escorts have been dispatched to surround a small inn. They want to know what happened.
whats the matter.
The waiter was originally busy. When he saw Cao Feng, dressed as a soldier, coming in, he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted him with a smile on his face.
The waiter naturally knew Cao Feng, who was known to everyone in Fengcheng, and said: "Oh, it's rare that Captain Cao is here today. There are private seats on the second floor. Captain Cao please come."
Cao Feng waved his hand to stop the waiter from continuing and said, "There were three young people who stayed at your inn yesterday. I wonder where they are now?"
"Hey, there are too many customers in the shop. I wonder which three Captain Cao is talking about?" the waiter asked.
Cao Feng had a serious face, piercing eyes, and spoke in a loud voice: "A black-haired boy, a beautiful woman, and a young man holding a long sword."
Hearing Cao Feng talk about the black-haired boy and the beautiful woman, the waiter still had fresh memories. He had been working in Ke Siyun for so many years and had seen many beautiful women, but this was the first time he saw one as beautiful as Li Ruoxue.
Not to mention when it comes to Huangtian, those physical features are so conspicuous and leave a particularly deep impression on people. What's more, the battle between him and Little Heavenly King last night has been rumored, and everyone in the inn is talking about it.
The waiter said: "Captain Cao is looking for the three of them. They are having dinner on the second floor at the moment. I will take you up here."
Under the leadership of the waiter, Cao Feng quickly found the three Huangtian people who were chatting. Cao Feng took out the portraits and compared them. After confirming that there was no doubt, Cao Feng strode towards the three people.
Arriving at the three-person table, Cao Feng knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "General Cao Feng meets the second prince and the third princess."
Huang Tian looked at the two of them in astonishment and said, "Who is this person? Why does he call you prince and princess?"
Li Ruoxue didn't expect that her identity would be discovered, and she looked a little unnatural and said, "Who said we are princes and princesses?"
Then Li Ruoxue turned around and said, "You couldn't have admitted the wrong person, right?"
Cao Feng had a resolute face and spoke in a loud voice: "Princess Qi, it was the Lord of the City who personally handed the portrait to the general. The general also checked the portrait carefully just now, and there will be no mistakes."
"I've already seen that your identities are extraordinary. I didn't expect that you are the prince and princess of the empire!" Huang Tian muttered to the side, obviously dissatisfied with Li Ruoxue and Li Xingkong for hiding their identities from him.
Li Ruoxue glared at Huangtian, and Huangtian remained silent.
Then, Li Ruoxue waved to Li Xingkong, and Li Xingkong understood and leaned towards Li Ruoxue.
"What should we do? He has found out our identities." Li Ruoxue covered her mouth with her hands and whispered.
Li Xingkong said: "Since we have been seen through, there is no need for us to hide it. We are going back to the royal city anyway. Let's ask him what he wants first!"
Li Ruoxue looked at Cao Feng and said, "What do you want from us?"
When the guests dining around saw Li Ruoxue's confession, they all knelt down to pay homage.
Li Xingkong stood up and said, "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, prince and princess."
"The Lord of the City is worried about the safety of the prince and princess, and would like to ask you to move to the Lord's Mansion."
Li Ruoxue gestured to Li Xingkong with her eyes, meaning, what should I do?
Li Xingkong said: "Since we have come to Fengcheng, we should go to the City Lord's Mansion to pay a visit to City Lord Lu. Then you can lead the way!"
Li Ruoxue turned to look at Huang Tian and found that he was looking at her with strange eyes and said, "What is that look in your eyes?"
Huang Tian said: "You said before that your family is very powerful, but now it seems that your family is really very powerful."
Li Ruoxue smiled and said proudly: "Now you finally know, going to the Royal City with us is the best choice!"
Then Li Ruoxue said to Cao Feng: "Let's go."
Huang Tian said: "Since he invited you to go, I won't go. I'll wait here for you to come back."
Without waiting for Li Ruoxue to speak, Cao Feng said: "The city lord specially asked me to go there with him."
Huang Tian was a little confused and said: "Invite me? Why are you inviting me? I don't know your city lord."
"This...I don't know." Cao Feng said.
"Since I invited you, you can go!" Li Ruoxue said.
Huangtian said: "Okay then!"
As soon as the three of them came out of the inn door, the troops standing at the inn door immediately surrounded them. Such a large formation made Huang Tian a little flattered, but the expressions of Li Xingkong and his sister were quite natural.
Under the escort of the army, the three of them walked towards the city lord's palace.
After walking for more than half an hour, the three of them saw the huge palace of the City Lord's Mansion. Two lifelike stone lions were placed at the door, and the glazed tiles on the roof shone in the sunlight.
There were already people waiting at the door of the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man and an old man.
Seeing the three people coming, the middle-aged man came up to greet them, bowed and said, "The Lord of Fengcheng, Lu Yun, is here to see the second prince and the third princess."
The old man who was standing next to him also followed closely behind Lu Yun, but did not salute. His eyes as deep as a deep pool stared at Huang Tian non-stop.
"Okay, Lu Yun, don't be too polite. If you have anything to do, go in and talk about it!" At this moment, Li Xingkong showed the demeanor that a prince should have.
Huang Tian didn't pay too much attention to Lu Yun, because he noticed that the old man next to him was staring at him. The old man's fiery eyes seemed to suddenly see his son who had been separated for decades, which made Huang Tian feel
Very awkward.
Lu Yun welcomed the three people into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Li Xingkong sat at the top, and the others sat at the bottom on both sides. The old man sat opposite Huang Tian, as if he was deliberately targeting them.
"Tell me, Lu Yun, what brings you to this prince?" Li Xingkong asked, sitting in the upper position.
"It's like this. Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the two princes, and has secretly informed the city lords of each city. As soon as there is news about the two princes, he will report it immediately."
"I am worried about the safety of the two princes, so I invited you to the city lord's palace and will send the two princes back to the palace on a day."
Li Xingkong nodded and said: "I see, it's good that this prince has been out for a while. It's time to go back. Then I'll trouble City Lord Lu."
"Where." Lu Yun said quickly.
From the moment the old man saw Huang Tian, he never took his eyes away from Huang Tian. Huang Tian couldn't stand the old man's naked eyes and said, "Why does the old man look at me like this?"
Only then did the old man realize that there was something wrong with him, he laughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, you are from that family."
Huang Tian frowned. From the old man's tone, he seemed to know which family he came from.
The old man sensed Huang Tian's thoughts and said: "Young man, don't get me wrong. The characteristics of people from your family are so obvious that anyone of a certain age can recognize them at a glance."
Seeing that Huang Tian was still suspicious, the old man said: "Don't worry, I won't harm you."
"Old man, do you know which family this guy comes from?" Li Ruoxue was already extremely curious about Huang Tian's life experience, but Huang Tian had been unwilling to tell her. Now that someone finally knew, how could she not ask.
"My old man must know which family he comes from," the old man said.
"Then tell this princess quickly." Li Ruoxue looked at the old man and said hurriedly.
The old man chuckled, stroked his pale beard, and said, "Although I know, I can't tell you!"
Li Ruoxue said dissatisfied: "Why can't you say it?"
"Because there are a lot of taboos involved."
"Taboo? What taboo?" Li Ruoxue obviously didn't believe it and said, "Just tell me, I promise not to talk nonsense everywhere."
"Can't say, can't say." The old man looked at Huangtian with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "The Continent of Gods and Demons has been peaceful for so many years, and it is finally getting lively again."
"What do you mean by the old man's words?" Huang Tian asked.
"Hahaha, this is already a common practice. As soon as you Bing family members appear, the Gods and Demons Continent will definitely not be able to calm down." The old man looked very happy and laughed.
"It turns out that you are from the Bing family, little Tiantian. Old man, you let it slip." Li Ruoxue chuckled, looking a little cunning.
The old man realized his mistake and quickly shut his mouth.
Li Ruoxue walked up to Huang Tian, lowered her head and looked at him with a mischievous smile, and said: "So your surname is Bing, but why have I never heard such a weird surname before? Please tell me the truth to this princess."
Huang Tian also chose to remain silent.
Li Ruoxue was so angry that she itched her teeth and said, "Huh, don't even say so. When I go back to the palace and ask myself, I won't believe that I can't find out."
