Empress Lin Ance

Chapter 138 137. Be Frank
**
Huyan Xingchi, if you really want to play like this, it will be boring.

Chu Qingyan suddenly pulled out her arm.

Her eyes were sharp, but her words were full of admonition, "Brother, it's not easy for someone like you to be where you are today."

Huyan Xingchi is different from Huyan Sufeng. Sufeng is the son of the Khan and is a romantic and unrestrained person by nature. Even if he claims that he likes men, not many people may believe him. After all, he has no shortage of women under his command.

But Huyan Xingchi is different. There has never been a woman around him, and he has a special identity now. If this secret is made public, it will inevitably be used against him, which will be absolutely useless for his future fight for the position of Khan.

Every word she said was a reminder.

How could Huyan Xingchi not hear it?
He sneered, "If I was really afraid of those old guys, I wouldn't have brought Qi Rong down in the first place."

"Ah Qing, you think too little of me. I am different from Gu Jin and Su Feng. They are more concerned about stable inheritance, but I only know that there is no construction without destruction."

Although he was in an awkward position and was suppressed by the Khan on the grassland, he was not constrained everywhere. On the contrary, he had great power, and he naturally had ways to make some guys he disliked disappear.

Chu Qingyan heard that he didn't care about what those people thought at all, and even... he didn't think that his love was something that needed to be hidden.

"Brother is really courageous."

She raised her hand and touched her forehead, and seemed to be sweating.

The answer she got today was really hard for her to digest. She thought her test would not work, but she didn't expect Huyan Xingchi to admit it himself.

So, he doesn't like women, he likes men...

Will not.

Chu Qingyan didn't dare to think any further. She would rather her thoughts were wrong. After knowing the result, she regretted why she made this test.

"Ah Qing, do you have something to ask?"

Huyan Xingchi still stared at her, his words were full of temptation and expectation, as if he wanted her to continue asking.

"No, I…I'm done asking."

She was so panicked that she was about to leave, fearing that if she stayed any longer she would lose control of her words and actions.

But Huyan Xingchi never wanted to let her go.

"Now that you've asked my questions, it's my turn."

Chu Qingyan stopped abruptly before she could step out of the tent.

She turned around, Huyan Xingchi casually gathered his clothes, walked to the couch beside him and sat down.

It was not easy to leave the tent today. She suppressed her emotions, forced a smile, and walked back briskly, "Brother, just say it."

She pulled up a wooden chair and sat down.

In his hand, he unconsciously stroked the black hair on his fingers.

She had expected that what Huyan Xingchi wanted to ask her would not be that simple.

"Ah Qing once said that he had an elder brother, but he died in an accident. Is that true?"

He stared at her, listening to every word.

She nodded.

Of course she would not refute what had already been said.

Huyan Xingchi chuckled, "Ah Qing always says that he is a pawn of Dasheng, but I have never seen an ordinary pawn who can get acquainted with the General of the Cavalry, be favored by Princess Yongping, and travel with the Junior Official of the Dali Temple."

There was a sense of desperation in his eyes.

It was obvious that if he couldn't figure it out today, he would never give up.

The old matter was brought up again. He had used her to evade the issue at the hot spring before, but he kept holding on to it again. Chu Qingyan knew in her heart that he had never dispelled this suspicion.

But she was confident in her disguise and there should be no loopholes.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Huyan Xingchi slowly shook his head, "Ah Qing."

"I have to say that your disguise is pretty good. No matter who you are, you must have spent some time in the martial arts world, otherwise you wouldn't know everything about it."

She must have studied the various tribes in the west. Even the black demon from the western region, which was widely known in the martial arts world, Yan Qing could recognize it by its weapon when she encountered it. But there was one thing she could never fake.

"Your disguise is very good, otherwise I would not have expressed this suspicion until now."

"But do you know what's the hardest thing about you to disguise?"

Huyan Xingchi spoke in a deep voice, but Chu Qingyan said nothing. Even though she was in turmoil, she would never show it on her face.

She sat quietly until Huyan Xingchi sat up straight, then leaned forward slightly and fixed his eyes on her.

“Ment, thought, and ability.”

"All of them are beyond the ordinary. This is definitely not what an ordinary pawn should have."

"You can disguise your identity, change your appearance, and even imitate your personality, but you can't hide what you reveal in your gestures and words."

"..."

silence.

After a moment, Chu Qingyan suddenly sneered.

"Brother, what do you think a pawn should be like, living a mediocre life, struggling for a living?"

Huyan Xingchi said nothing, just waiting for her to finish.

"Then you underestimate the minions of Dasheng. When the country is in trouble, every citizen has the same responsibility. Minions not only consider their livelihood, but also their country."

"Will there be Qingwu Guards among the runners?" Huyan Xingchi chuckled again and said, "A month ago, I sent people to Chang'an to investigate some things. Ah Qing, do you want me to explain it more clearly?"

...Chang'an.

Chu Qingyan was silent.

She has seldom appeared in public since she was young, and has even been traveling in recent years, but there is no guarantee that Huyan Xingchi will not find out something.

So had his suspicion of her reached this level a month ago?

So, with all this today, was he just deceiving himself, or... was he confident?
Impossible, I almost forgot that she is now a man!
How could Hu Yanxingchi investigate the identity of a woman through the appearance of a man? !
absurd!

Huyan Xingchi did not ignore the flash of sarcasm in her eyes when he heard him say that he would send people to Chang'an to investigate... It seemed that the direction was right, but the method was wrong.

It doesn’t matter. Since this is the case, he has a better way, so we can give it a try.

"It seems that Ah Qing is unwilling to talk. Then I can only ask Princess Yongping. She and you grew up together and have a very close relationship. I think she will definitely be able to find out something..."

"Huyan Xingchi!"

Chu Qingyan stood up suddenly.

"Why do we always have to involve others in the matter between you and me?"

Pei Huan is her bottom line and the purpose of her coming here. Huyan Xingchi knows it clearly, but he keeps touching this bottom line.

Her eyes were sharp.

Huyan Xingchi smiled bitterly. Does he care about Pei Huan so much?
It seems that the method is correct.

He nodded, "Okay, I won't ask her. Then you tell me in person. You should understand that I have no intention of harming you. I just want to be honest with you."

What a frank person!
Chu Qingyan clenched her teeth. If she didn't give a reasonable explanation today, Huyan Xingchi would not let her go!
"You know me very well. Now I will tell you my secrets. I hope you can be honest with me, even though we are on opposite sides."

Chu Qingyan still didn't speak. Her eyes moved around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Huyan Xingchi knew that she was unwilling to speak, but he had to give an explanation today.

Since she didn't speak, he would speak.

"The sixth prince of Dasheng, Prince of Yan Chu Huaiyu, was born to the daughter of the old master of the Pei family, Consort Xian. His brother, the fourth prince, died young."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are from the royal family, is that correct?"

Right or wrong?
