Chapter 184 Since we are enemies, there is no need to say more!
The Sixth Prince sneered: "How dare Lu Hong defy the odds? What I want is Xiangying, so what did he send?"
He really didn't expect that Lu Hong, who had always been obedient, would dare to disobey him.
The Sixth Prince simply rolled up his sleeves and said: "Since he won't give it to me, I will go find it myself!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiang Qianqian quickly stepped forward and hugged his arm.
"Your Highness! Don't go," Xiang Qianqian raised his head, his eyes watery, "The prefect did this for your consideration."
"For me?" The Sixth Prince raised his eyebrows, "Please tell me."
Xiang Qianqian was so anxious that he came up with the same rhetoric he had used to please his father to flatter him.
"You are the most prestigious prince. I believe that the Emperor of Nanyue must also know about this. The purpose of sending you to Meicheng this time is to train your abilities and convince us, the prisoners of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"Even the princes of Nanyue are so outstanding, let alone the Holy One. Therefore, the eldest sister cannot see you this time because she is not lucky. But the prefect is just afraid that you will cause trouble. If word spreads, what will His Majesty of Nanyue think of you?"
"It will have an impact on your reputation and prestige. Qianqian has no special skills, but she has studied for a few more years than my eldest sister and is good at poetry and poetry. She will not disappoint His Highness the Sixth Prince."
At the end of the sentence, she lowered her head slightly, holding her neck in shame, and a blush spread on her cheeks.
The black in the Sixth Prince's narrow eyes gradually became clear.
He reached out and lifted Xiang Qianqian's chin, saying meaningfully: "These words may sound nice, but they are actually fighting for yourself. Do you want to please me?"
Xiang Qianqian's eyelashes trembled and her body trembled slightly. Suddenly, the clothes on her shoulders slipped off, revealing her white shoulders.
She seemed unaware and said softly: "Qianqian is born to love powerful people. Your Highness is rich and handsome. No woman would not like it, right?"
The sixth prince was made happy by her.
So he sat down again. Seeing this, the little maid bowed and left.
Xiang Qianqian was overjoyed and was about to stand up and said, "Qianqian is here to pour wine for His Highness."
"No, just kneel," the Sixth Prince poured the wine by himself, looking at her with teasing and contemptuous eyes, "just keep kneeling until Xiang Ying arrives. His Highness will not be able to see what he wants to see. No one else is interested.”
Xiang Qianqian was startled, and his face turned pale with embarrassment.
Her fingers on her knees gradually dug into her palms.
Xiangying Xiangying, why is it always her?
Just now she heard the little maid yelling and thought Xiang Ying had really run away.
That's why she volunteered to meet the Sixth Prince on her behalf. She didn't expect that the opportunity would come to her, but the Sixth Prince was so stubborn.
Xiang Qianqian could only kneel there honestly.
Half an hour later, the sixth prince had almost finished eating and threw a piece of dry biscuit into Xiang Qianqian's arms.
"Eat what I reward you with."
Xiang Qianqian held the dry biscuit in her hand and was a little stunned for a moment.
The sixth prince saw it from the corner of his eye and sneered secretly.
No matter how noble they were in the Western Zhou Dynasty, now they are short of food and drink, and are stunned when they see a mere dry biscuit?
Really ignorant, it seems Xiangying should be better dealt with.
However, he did not see the slight disgust rising in Xiang Qianqian's eyes.
Xiang Qianqian was thinking that this dry biscuit smelled so bad, it was not as good as the ones Xie Chen made when she was in exile.
No matter how bad it was, the cakes Xiangying made by herself were as crispy as mille-feuille. She once saw Taoxue and the others eating them. She could hear the crisp sound when she took a bite.
Is this all the Sixth Prince can give?
At this moment, the sixth prince pretended to be cold and said: "Xiang Ying could have received such good treatment, but if she doesn't come today, she is not lucky." "Meicheng has limited food and grass, so I can give you all this. When I return to the capital in the future, I will be able to give more, but since Xiangying is so ignorant, I think she must have some backbone, so let’s continue to starve her.”
Xiang Qianqian came back to his senses, a light flashed in his eyes.
It turns out that Xiangying, like her, has been hungry these days?
She suddenly smiled: "Qianqian knows His Highness's kindness."
Meicheng didn't have much food and grass due to drought and famine, but the sixth prince would never be short of food. For this reason alone, he was better than Xiang Ying!
Seeing that Qian Qian was interested, the Sixth Prince finally waved to her and asked her to sit over and eat the rest of his food.
Xiang Qianqian had also been hungry for several days. She tried hard to maintain a ladylike manner, but she still couldn't help but swallow.
The Sixth Prince sneered: "Do you like eating? Then help me with something for the banquet the day after tomorrow."
Xiang Qianqian nodded repeatedly: "Whatever His Highness wants to do, Qianqian will definitely try his best."
The sixth prince leaned over and lowered his voice.
At the same time, on the maple forest slope, a pale moonlight slanted down.
Before Yan Jing came, he thought that Jie Chen would be waiting for him with thousands of troops and an ambush.
However, when he arrived, he only saw Jie Chen riding on horseback, alone.
But he was very powerful, his tall body on horseback, covered in moonlight, as cold as a statue of a god.
Yan Jing paused and stepped forward: "I don't know what the deputy general has to say. He has to wait three hours in the middle of the night. Is there some shady thing to do in a place like this?"
Jie Chen's eyes were like cold stars, and he glanced at him coldly.
"I called you here because I only have one thing to ask. Once I ask you clearly, you will be able to tell whether you are an enemy or a friend."
Doubts arose in Yan Jing's heart.
He and Xie Chen have a completely different relationship, so what kind of friends are they?
If we talk about enemies, that's not enough.
Although he is currently under the command of the Sixth Prince, he is still heartbroken and ready to find another way out.
"I wonder what the deputy general wants to say?"
"I just want to ask, when Prince Gong was assassinated in the palace, Concubine Zhuang sacrificed her life to protect him and saved his life. At that time, Prince Gong said that he would repay Concubine Zhuang for her life-saving grace in the future. Before Concubine Zhuang died, she had I entrusted the letter to Lord Gong, why didn’t you care?”
After Xie Chen finished speaking, he raised his long sword and pointed the sword's edge directly at Yan Jing.
He repeated again: "Why don't you care!"
If Prince Gong had taken action at that time, his mother and concubine would not have died so miserably.
The sixth prince's biological mother died of illness when he was two years old, and the entire palace was unwilling to raise this lowly born prince. Only Concubine Zhuang felt pity for him and took him to her side to keep him company with Jie Chen.
After the death of Concubine Zhuang, Jie Chen was sent to the Western Zhou Dynasty. When he learned the news again, it turned out that the counselor who used to serve Prince Gong had gone to work under the Sixth Prince.
It is ridiculous to say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with life!
Yan Jing froze on the spot.
He looked at Jie Chen blankly: "Who are you? How did you know that Concubine Zhuang had sent a letter to the old prince?"
Jie Chen did not want to answer, but his eyes were as dark as wolves in the night.
He was born with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows. The peaks of his eyebrows were like sharp blades unsheathed and inserted diagonally into his temples. They were dark and neat. He frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a storm surging between the peaks of his eyebrows, and a murderous aura was coming towards his face.
"My identity is no longer important. Since you know that Concubine Zhuang once sent a letter to Prince Gong, it seems that Prince Gong was the one who refused to save her!"
Xie Chen swung his sword and said coldly: "Since we are enemies, there is no need to say anything!"
After he finished speaking, he flew forward with his sword, ready to kill Yan Jing with one strike!
