C459 (1/2)

The night was dark and the fire was blazing.

Xiao Qingqian stood on top of the city wall with his hands behind his back, and watched the enemy troops fleeing into the distance.

”Your highness, should we chase them?” the guard asked.

It was lucky that they were able to push back the enemy troops today. However, if they were to regroup and launch an attack again, the East Mausoleum would not have any chance of winning at all.

Seeing that Xiao Qingqian did not reply after a long time, the dark guard bowed and waited at the side.

Snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, landing right between Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows.

He suddenly remembered when Wei Qing smiled in the snow at the beginning of time.

How was she right now?

”Inform them to prepare the water immediately.”

The guard was stunned, thinking he had misheard, ”Your Highness, you just said …. You want to prepare water? ”

Xiao Qingqian nodded, ”You didn't mishear me wrong. You did indeed go and prepare the water.”

The hidden guard hurriedly went down to spread the news. When Chen Cheng heard of this matter, he immediately guessed Xiao Qingqian's intentions.

”Your Royal Highness, do you want the enemy troops to not be able to climb the city walls?”

”Since you've guessed it, don't say it.” Xiao Qingqian glared at him snappily.

Chen Cheng pursed his lips, ”The princess is not by your side, your temper is really big!”

After saying that, Xiao Qingqian unhappily punched him, ”Is my skin itchy?”

Chen Cheng curled his lips, ”Die'er is now the little sister of the Royal Concubine. This subordinate's relationship with the Duke can also be considered to be close.

Xiao Qingqian looked at him with deep eyes. ”Chen Cheng, don't forget, Die'er listens to Qing'er the most!”

Chen Cheng was so frightened that his face changed several times. He pretended to be very frightened and said, ”Emma, Your Highness, this move of yours is really too damaging. Your subordinate is afraid! ”

With the support of the soldiers, General Meng wobbled in front of Xiao Qingqian.

”General Meng, you don't need to apologize to this king. If today, your drunkenness caused the enemy to attack the city, you will have to apologize to the people of the world and the East Mausoleum Emperor! ”

Looking at Xiao Qingqian's eyes which were filled with anger, General Meng kneeled down.

”Prince Chu, it's all because of me. Something like this definitely won't happen again.”

Xiao Qingqian gasped for breath and glanced at Chen Cheng, who picked him up.

”Why would the Prince prepare a large amount of water?” General Meng asked as he stood up.

Xiao Qingqian did not utter a word. Instead, he continued to speak, ”The prince naturally has his uses. General Meng does not need to ask about it too much.”

Now that the conversation had reached this stage, General Meng could only restrain his curiosity.

Very quickly, Chen Cheng led the East Mausoleum soldiers and carried the buckets up the city walls.

Buckets of water were poured over and soon the water froze into ice.

The gray walls quickly turned into a crystalline ice palace. When the sun rose, it looked very dazzling in the distance.

Xiao Qingqian checked it for a while, but was not satisfied with it, so he let Chen Cheng continue to prepare the water.

This time, the water was mixed with broken pieces of porcelain.

As soon as a person approached it, the protruding piece of porcelain would cut through the person's hand.

”A brilliant plan!” General Meng lied on the city wall and looked down, praising.

After what happened last time, even if the sky was even colder, he still didn't covet wine.
