C737 (1/2)

”They want the palace to come down and negotiate with us?”

Hong Xiao washed his face in disbelief. At this time, Duan Chengxuan had just come down from the battlefield to count the number of people and teach the generals a lesson. The news of Cheng Shan had yet to reach the ears of the Prince.

At this moment, he only looked at Hong Xiao from his tent. ”You trust that Your Highness even more than I do, but at this moment, that Your Highness is not only preparing to establish a shrine at the Fallen Water Barrier, he even wants to be the third prince's lobbyist.”

”I don't know about all this nonsense, but since the prince believes, I do. I remember that Sanin taught me before.” Hong Xiao threw the cloth onto the rack, causing it to tremble.

Cheng Shan expressionlessly placed the letter on the table, and then said: ”This time, the ones escorting His Highness are Sang Ning and Su Yuwan.”

”Su Yu Wan? Is it because my ears aren't good? ” Hong Xiao stopped.

”Your Highness seems to like Su Yuwan very much now.” After Chengshan said this, he left. He believed that Hong Xiao could keep a close eye on this secret letter.

Hong Xiao scratched his head and thought for a long time. He only remembered that when they first met, Su Yuwan was a haughty and overbearing little miss. She was normally capable of anything under the command of the Prince.

But how could it be? Shouldn't meeting a love rival cause one's eyes to go red?

When Duan Chengxuan entered, his entire body was covered in blood and grime, Hong Xiao hurriedly told him about this matter.

”Clang —”

The Zhanmadao broke a wooden frame at the side, and Hong Xiao dodged to the side, his shoulders hunched.

The hair on his head was in complete disarray, but Hong Xiao didn't dare to make a single joke. The tent flap was suddenly pulled open by someone, and before the little soldier could enter, Hong Xiao waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly. However, the new recruit obediently saluted and opened his mouth behind Duan Chengxuan's back, ”Your highness, His Highness the Third Prince has sent a letter over.”

As soon as he said that, Hong Xiao snatched the letter and signaled for the recruits to leave. He then said carefully, ”Your highness, how about …”

”Read it.” Duan Chengxuan's calm voice ruthlessly struck Hong Xiao's heart.

He restrained his actions and opened the letter without saying a word. After hesitating for a while, he said with a troubled expression, ”Why don't you, your highness …”

”Read it.”

Hong Xiao had no choice but to brace himself and say, ”In half a month, the new and old lovers will gather together.”

After a moment of silence, Hong Xiao's veins popped. He couldn't walk forward now, nor could he take a step back.

After who knows how long, Cheng Shan opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing Hong Xiao looking as if he was about to face a great enemy, he said respectfully, ”My lord, although Ai Yan's lackeys have not made much of a move, the border guards behind us all hope to surround us. The food supply has stopped, and the water supply is far from enough, but the Third and Ninth Princes have no one to control.”

Putting his hands on the edge of the table, Duan Cheng Xuan pondered for a long time before speaking. ”We can only defend against external enemies. After half a month, we'll welcome them and instruct the people inside to properly block Yu'er for at least a month.”
