Chapter 122: Amazing!

"Does it make any difference? You betrayed her in public when the two armies were fighting. Even if you fed her Bei Yuan, this is an indisputable fact."

When the two armies fought that day, Beili's army was not familiar with the terrain here, so Nangong Yan sent them a garrison map. They also turned against their own side in the battle and took the commander Zhao Wanyu hostage, so they barely won the victory.

No one knew what happened between the two later. Zhao Wanyu left in anger and has not been seen since.

Then an idea flashed through his mind, but it was fleeting. "I always feel that something is wrong. We have been stationed here for half a month, and there have been small-scale confrontations during this period, but the princess has never appeared."

Zhao Wanyu valued the people inside the pass more than his own life and could not possibly turn a blind eye to it.

"Who knows, maybe she is inside the pass, but just doesn't want to see me." Nangong Yan drank a cup of tea and slowly closed his eyes, "Little guy, if you can, treat that little girl well."

Xiao Mingxuan's expression was unclear and he remained silent for a long while.

Nangong Yan was just about to close his eyes and rest, but someone beside him would not let him do that easily.

"How are things arranged?"

Nangong Yan opened his eyes suddenly and stared at Xiao Mingxuan with a hint of disapproval in his eyes, "You really want to do this, those two don't have a deep hatred against you, right?"

"No." Xiao Mingxuan drank a cup of tea, his eyes firm, "But only in this way can we lure Xu Qingcheng and Liu Yuan out, and the Imperial City will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Nangong Yan looked grim, "Have you ever thought about whether the little princess can accept it? She will go crazy! Just like Ah Wan broke off all ties with me, do you also want to end up in the same situation as me?"

Xiao Mingxuan looked down at the cup in his hand, gently stroking the edge of the cup, and said: "So I won't be as hesitant as you. I will let her eat it immediately, forget everyone in Tianshuo, and only remember me. It also... belongs only to me."

Ten years have passed, and Xiao Mingxuan's paranoia has not abated at all. Instead, it has become more and more intense. He has gone completely crazy and will do anything to achieve his goals.

"I must take over Tianshuo Imperial City." Xiao Mingxuan loosened his grip slightly, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered. "But I want her too."

"You are too greedy." Nangong Yan said this many years ago. In the past ten years, he has watched Xiao Mingxuan grow from a weak and vulnerable kid to His Royal Highness Prince Jing who holds the power of life and death, but his opinion has never changed.

"My heart is my master. Anyone who tries to stop me will be killed!" Hatred as deep as ink gushed out from his eyes, drowning out his reason and lifting the ambitious person high above his head, shoulder to shoulder with the sky.

Xiao Mingxuan was no longer the little brat who was controlled by him. Nangong Yan knew that he could not persuade him, so he sighed, "Let's not talk about this for now. You said the other day that you would find a way to find Ah Wan. What was that method?"

Xiao Mingxuan pointed in the direction of the pass, "There is someone inside who can find the princess. Perhaps only she can find her."

"Zhao Xihe?" After thinking about it, Nangong Yan could only think of this person.

Xiao Mingxuan nodded, "If even Lihua Palace can't find anyone, then no one else in the world has this ability except her."

Xihe carries with her both space and spiritual power, allowing her to transcend this world and search for people and things that mortals cannot find.

"Are you sure?" Nangong Yan had certainly heard what Tianshuo said about Fubao, but he never believed it. "She's only sixteen. Can she still build up a force without being discovered by Lihua Palace?"

Nangong Yan's Lihua Palace is the largest intelligence organization in the martial arts world. No matter whether it is royal secrets or martial arts treasures, nothing can escape the spies of Lihua Palace.

Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head and smiled faintly, "You'll know when you get there, let's go."

"Now?" "Yes." Xiao Mingxuan glanced at her and said, "If you know the news one minute later, the princess will be in more danger. Are you sure you want to waste time here with me?"

Nangong Yan quickly said seriously, "Then hurry up and go."

The two men arrived at the border tower with only four guards. Suddenly, martial law was imposed all around and they were surrounded by a group of soldiers. Bows and arrows were set up on the tower and aimed at them.

Xiao Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the group indifferently and then looked away in disappointment. He turned around and said, "Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Beili Xiao Mingxuan wants to see you. If they want to know about Princess Yuanyang, let us in."

"Wait, we'll go report it."

A group of people stood in the sun, basking in the sun.

"Do you have any news about Awan?" Nangong Yan quietly moved to Xiao Mingxuan's side and asked.

Everyone around could not bear the heat, but there was not a trace of sweat on Xiao Mingxuan's forehead. He stood as tall and straight as a pine tree with his back straight. He stood there steadily, only glancing up at the city wall from time to time.

"No."

"then you……"

"You lied to them." Xiao Mingxuan exhaled slowly, looking at the figure approaching not far away, "If not, what other reason do you have to let them let us in?"

Nangong Yan naturally noticed the bad looks on the faces of the two Zhao brothers. They even had time to lament over the passing of time. "If they knew you had lied to them, would we still be able to get out alive?"

Judging from Zhao Chengning's expression, Nangong Yan felt that it was possible that the other party would chop him to pieces on the spot.

When he walked in, Zhao Chengning took a look at Xiao Mingxuan and said calmly, "It's been many years since we last met. I hope your Highness Prince Jing is doing well."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am in good health."

The two men fought silently, causing suffering to a group of people.

After a long time, Zhao Chengning smiled and broke the silence first, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jing has news about his aunt. What is the news?"

Nangong Yan was sweating nervously. Who could have thought that Zhao Chengning would not even give him a chance to go in and talk, but just stood at the door and demanded news.

Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "So this is how His Royal Highness treats guests. He didn't even give us a cup of tea when we wanted to know the news, but just made us stand at the door. Your Royal Highness's hospitality really impresses me."

Zhao Chengning remained motionless, as if the other party was not talking about him. Instead, he looked at the person in front of him inadvertently. The child in his memory had grown into a person who could compete with him.

"Of course, hospitality is the way to treat guests, but I don't know when a treacherous person can become my guest."

Zhao Chengning implicitly accused Xiao Mingxuan of being immoral and treacherous in attacking the border.

Xiao Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged, not showing any sign of being offended. "You may be a distinguished guest, or you may be a traitor. Today, I have the news about the eldest princess. If Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't give me this cup of tea, then there will be no news. If it's a little later, the person might be... dead. What do you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Mingxuan immediately had a grasp on Zhao Chengning's lifeblood. Before he went on the expedition, Emperor Jingyuan called him to Yuanyang Palace for a private talk, and his implicit words all asked him to protect Zhao Wanyu.
