Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Zhu Linlang was not to be outdone. She dealt with the besieging soldiers with agility, while maintaining tacit cooperation with Fang Yue.

The "ding-dang-dang" sound of metal collisions echoed in the night sky. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were not afraid of the siege. They responded to the endless attacks with exquisite martial arts and tacit cooperation.

The captain of the imperial guards was secretly shocked when he saw this.

He didn't expect that these two young men were so capable and could handle the siege of so many imperial guards so calmly.

The battle lasted for a while, and Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang had knocked down hundreds of imperial guards.

In other words, Fang Yue and the other man did not have the intention to kill, otherwise these soldiers would have probably died long ago.

Despite this, the soldiers lying on the ground still looked terrified. They had never seen such superb martial arts and swift attacks.

The captain of the imperial guards took a deep breath. He knew he had to re-examine the two young men.

Their strength was far beyond his imagination, and such opponents should not be underestimated.

He waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop attacking, then walked forward and looked at Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang with complicated eyes.

"Who are you? Do you know that this is Shenjing City? There are countless masters in my dynasty. I advise you two to surrender and avoid physical pain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linlang smiled gently, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She looked up at the captain of the imperial guards and said firmly, "We have not violated the laws of the dynasty. I did not kill the young master of the Wen family. Why should we surrender?"

When the captain of the imperial guards heard Zhu Linlang's response, his brows furrowed and his expression became more complicated.

He said in a deep voice: "The cause of death of the eldest son of the Wen family has not yet been determined, and you happened to be at the scene, so you are naturally a major suspect.

Moreover, you openly resisted arrest in the city of Shenjing and clashed with the imperial guards, which is already a serious crime!"

Before the fight just now, the captain of the imperial guards did not give Fang Yue and the other man a chance to talk. Now that he saw how strong they were, he became timid.

It's really soft at first but not hard at last!

Fang Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he looked at the captain of the imperial guards, who looked fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

He understood that in this world, strength is the only thing that matters.

So he calmly said to the captain of the imperial guards: "Can you let us go now?"

The captain of the imperial guards frowned in response to Fang Yue's question, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

When will the reinforcements arrive?

The commander clearly said that as long as Fang Yue and the other two could be held back for a while, reinforcements would arrive and capture the two villains.

But now so much time has passed and no reinforcements have arrived. This is different from the plan!

Thinking of this, the captain became ruthless. If he continued to stop him, he might die here. If he disobeyed military orders, he would also die.

The captain of the imperial guards was in a state of confusion, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He was worried that he would not be able to stop Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, and he was also afraid of being punished for disobeying military orders.

The current situation put him in a dilemma.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang saw the captain of the imperial guards' hesitation, and they knew this was the best time to leave.

Zhu Linlang said softly to the other party: "It seems that this general dare not stop us, so let's go."

Fang Yue nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Zhu Linlang, and the two of them moved and prepared to leave.

The captain of the imperial guards was unwilling to see this, but he also knew that he was powerless to stop it.

He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to make way.

However, just as Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were about to leave, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly came from a distance.

In a blink of an eye, a team of cavalry came galloping and surrounded Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

When the captain of the imperial guards saw this scene, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that reinforcements would not come, but unexpectedly they appeared at the critical moment.

The leader of the cavalry was a general in armor. He glanced at Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang with a cold gaze, then turned to the captain of the imperial guards and asked in a deep voice, "Are they the ones?"

The captain of the Imperial Guard nodded quickly and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir. They both openly resisted arrest and clashed with the Imperial Guard, injuring many of our soldiers."

The general's eyes became even colder when he heard this. He waved his hand, signaling the cavalry to get ready.

Then, he looked at Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang coldly. Suddenly, he raised his hand without warning and slapped the captain of the imperial guards hard.

The sound of the slap was so crisp that it echoed in the night sky. Everyone looked at the scene in astonishment.

"Asshole!" the general roared, "Who gave you the authority to intercept these two distinguished guests at will?"

The captain of the imperial guards was hit and staggered. He covered his cheek and looked at the general with horror, completely unable to understand what was happening.

The general no longer looked at him, but turned to face Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang with a respectful expression.

He bowed deeply and said sincerely: "I am Li Hao, the commander of the Imperial Guards. I am honored to meet you, Your Excellency. I apologize for any offense I have caused you. Please forgive me, Your Excellencies."

Zhu Linlang looked at Li Hao in front of her. Although she was surprised, her expression remained calm.

She nodded slightly in response.

"Can we go now?"

As soon as Zhu Linlang finished speaking, Li Hao stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, but..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Her Royal Highness the Princess learned that you two were here, so she sent me here to greet you.

Her Highness hopes that you two can come to the palace for a chat. She has something to discuss with you two."

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

Especially Fang Yue, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The eldest princess of the Wei Dynasty had previously sent people to arrest her brother's family.

I’m afraid that the person who sent someone to invite them this time also had bad intentions!
Fang Yue took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice: "Princess? What does Her Royal Highness want to talk to us about?"

Li Hao noticed the coldness in Fang Yue's tone and was shocked, but he still kept a smile on his face and explained:

"I am not very clear about the specific matters. But Her Royal Highness the Princess has specifically instructed that you two must come to the palace for a discussion."

There was obvious provocation in Fang Yue's tone. He looked directly at Li Hao, as if waiting for his response.

Although Li Hao was a little unhappy in his heart, he still maintained the proper politeness on his face. He said, "You two, you can stay or leave as you like."

When Fang Yue heard Li Hao's answer, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought that the commander of the Royal Guards would insist that they go to the palace, but he did not expect the other party to give such an answer.

Zhu Linlang was also a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and said softly to Fang Yue: "Since Commander Li said so, let's leave first." Fang Yue nodded, and the two prepared to leave.

However, just as they turned around, Li Hao suddenly said, "Please stay."

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang stopped and turned to look at Li Hao. Li Hao smiled and continued:

"The princess said that if you two are unwilling to enter the palace, she will wait for you at Yuhua Terrace outside the city."

Fang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Then go and have a look."

Originally, he didn't want to confront the Princess of Wei so early. After all, the situation in Shenjing was tense.

But since the other party has come to him, he will not back down.

Zhu Linlang had no objection, and the two of them followed Li Hao to Yuhuatai.

Yuhua Terrace is located on a high ground outside the capital city of Shenjing, surrounded by green trees, quiet and elegant. In the night, a luxurious chariot was waiting there, and several palace maids and guards stood beside the chariot.

Seeing Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang coming, the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, revealing a graceful and elegant face. This was the eldest princess of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"You two, I have been waiting here for a long time." The eldest princess said with a smile, her voice gentle and magnetic, as if she had a natural charm.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang stepped forward to pay their respects. The princess waved her hand to indicate that they did not need to be polite, and then invited them to sit down and have tea together.

"I wonder what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to talk to us about? Do you know that I really want to kill you now!" Fang Yue asked straight to the point.

The princess took a sip of tea, then put down the cup, looked at Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, and said slowly: "I came to you two to ask for a favor, and also to resolve the previous misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Fang Yue snorted coldly, "You sent people to arrest my brother's family. Is this also a misunderstanding?"

The princess sighed softly and explained, "Mr. Fang, that matter was indeed handled improperly by my subordinates. I deeply apologize for the trouble it has caused you and your family. I have ordered the release of your family and promised that they will not be disturbed again."

There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.

Princess Zhu Changxin didn't believe that Fang Yue would not be tempted after hearing her conditions.

She took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Fang, I know you still have a grudge about what happened before.

However, I hope you can understand that our royal family also has its own difficulties.

This time I asked you to come here, in addition to expressing my apologies to you, more importantly, I hope you can lend a helping hand to the royal family."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linlang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Fang Yue, as if asking for his opinion.

Fang Yue had a blank expression on his face, but he sneered in his heart.

The princess felt a little depressed when she saw Fang Yue remained silent.

She was well aware of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's strengths. If she could get their help, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for the royal family.

So, she continued, "Mr. Fang, I know this request may be difficult for you.

However, I can assure you that as long as you are willing to help the royal family, the royal family will never treat you unfairly.

The status of the Heterosexual King will allow you to enjoy endless glory and power in the Wei Dynasty."

Fang Yue raised his head, looked directly at the princess, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, your conditions are indeed very tempting.

But I refuse!"

When the princess heard Fang Yue's refusal, a gloomy look flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.

She sighed softly and said, "Mr. Fang, do you know the consequences of rejecting me?"

"Are you threatening me?" Fang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

The princess felt Fang Yue's anger, but she did not back down. Instead, she looked at him calmly and said:

“Mr. Fang, this is not a threat, it’s just a reminder to you that not everything in this world goes as you wish.

I am the eldest princess of the Wei Dynasty. I represent not only myself, but also the dignity and interests of the royal family."

She paused and continued, "Of course, I respect your choice. But if you reject me, you may also lose some immeasurable opportunities.

Furthermore, the situation in Shenjing City is complicated. You killed Wen Feiyang, the eldest son of the Wen family. Without the protection of the Wen family and the royal family, you two may encounter a lot of trouble. "

Zhu Linlang also felt Fang Yue's anger. She gently held Fang Yue's hand and signaled him to calm down.

"And now, if you refuse me, you must die here today!" The princess sneered and continued, "Why do you think I have to say so much to you!"

Fang Yue's eyes flashed coldly. He sensed the threat from the princess and said coldly, "Oh? Is the princess trying to force me?"

The princess chuckled and shook her head: "Mr. Fang misunderstood. How could I do such a thing? But..."

She changed the subject and continued, "I have set up a formation on Yuhua Terrace, and would like to ask you two to help test its power. Of course, if you two can break it, then I will naturally not force you two to do anything."

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other, and saw vigilance in each other's eyes. They understood that this might be a trap set by the eldest princess.

"Formation?" Fang Yue sneered, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is really good at this. She actually set up a formation on Yuhua Terrace. But do you think you can trap us with just a formation?"

The princess smiled lightly and did not directly answer Fang Yue's question. Instead, she said:

"Mr. Fang, why don't you give it a try? If you can break this formation, then I will have nothing to say."

A hint of coldness flashed in Fang Yue's eyes. He slowly stood up and looked around.

In the darkness of night, the trees, flowers and plants of Yuhuatai exude a strange atmosphere, as if they are hiding some kind of power.

"Well, since Her Royal Highness the Princess has invited us so graciously, let us experience the power of this formation."

Fang Yue said this and winked at Zhu Linlang.

Zhu Linlang nodded in understanding, and the two of them simultaneously mobilized their internal energy and walked cautiously towards the depths of Yuhuatai.

As soon as they stepped into the central area of ​​Yuhuatai, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang felt a powerful energy wave coming.

The surrounding scenery also changed accordingly. The originally quiet and elegant Yuhuatai suddenly became gloomy and eerie.

"Is this an illusion?"

Fang Yue frowned slightly. He felt that this energy fluctuation contained a powerful force of illusion.

This power can interfere with people's perception and thinking, making people fall into endless illusions and unable to extricate themselves.

Zhu Linlang also noticed something was wrong. She held Fang Yue's hand tightly, fearing that the two would be separated by the illusion.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Fang Yue comforted softly, and at the same time used his mental skills to resist the invasion of the illusion.

They looked around and saw thick fog all around, blurring their vision. (End of this chapter)
