Chapter 140 Chapter 141

Not long after Nangong Yingxin and He Yixiao walked out of the woods, they heard the sound of horseshoes not far away.

The group of people were all dressed in black, with swords on their bodies.The saber on his waist reflected brightly in the sun.

The deafening sound of horseshoes was mixed with flying dust. Nangong Yingxin couldn't help taking a few steps back when she saw the menacing team rushing not far away.

"He's not here to rob!" Nangong Yingxin muttered as he watched the group of people approaching gradually.

When He Yixiao heard the muttering sound coming from behind, the corners of his mouth raised slightly imperceptibly.

Just when Nangong Yingxin was still dreaming, in just a split second, the team just now had arrived before their eyes.The group of people reined in their horses and stopped a foot away from them, dismounted together, and walked straight towards He Yixiao and Nangong Yingxin.

When the breeze came, the pink and purple clothes stood quietly, while the group of people just stood in front of them.The dust behind him gradually fell, and the thatch on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.Just when Nangong Yingxin thought that everyone would go on like this, the group of people suddenly knelt down on one knee.

"My subordinate is late in rescue, please forgive me, Princess Xuan." The group of men in black saluted collectively and said in unison.

"Huh?" Facing the inexplicable situation that suddenly happened in front of him, Nangong Yingxin froze for a moment, then raised his head to look at He Yixiao for no reason.

Seeing Nangong Yingxin's puzzled expression, He Yixiao also shook his head.

To be honest, he really didn't know what was going on.Although this group of people appeared very imposing just now, He Yixiao didn't feel any murderous aura. It was expected that this group of people were friends rather than enemies, so he was not worried.But to say who this group of people is, He Yixiao doesn't know, but a name that he is not sure of flashes in his mind.

Just when the two of them were puzzled, the birds in the woods not far away were suddenly disturbed and flew around with a coaxing sound.Not far away, there was the sound of hurried hooves.

A maroon sweat horse came galloping, and a man dressed in black with red trim on the horse's back grasped the reins tightly and rode the horse, the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, with an indescribable aura.

The sound of horseshoes was approaching, and the sun was shining brightly. Nangong Yingxin poked his head out and squinted at the man in black who was galloping towards him.When the maroon horse roared and stopped, Nangong Yingxin finally saw the black-clothed face on the horse's back.

"General." The group of men in black turned around and saluted when they saw the person riding the horse behind them.

The man just nodded, but his eyes didn't linger on the men in black, and he directly locked on Nangong Yingxin who was hiding behind He Yixiao.

He was dressed in a strong suit, and his black hair was neatly tied up. Under his sword eyebrows, his eyes were deeply sunken, showing the unique determination of a soldier.Although the body was not made of expensive fabrics, the simple black and red collocation gave the man an indescribably special aura.

"Brother?" Nangong Yingxin didn't expect him to appear, and was stunned.

"I'm going down to Nangong Chen." Nangong Chen looked back at Nangong Yingxin, looked at He Yixiao who was standing in front of Nangong Yingxin, and clasped his fists slightly.

Hearing the person's introduction, He Yixiao's eyes flashed an imperceptible subtle change, but he smiled calmly and replied, "I'm here, why is it?"

The two didn't speak any more, just looked at each other and smiled.There was a special smell in the air.

Prince Xuan's Mansion.

"What did you say?" Meng Xuanfeng, who was sitting in the gazebo playing chess with Liu Meier, stopped the chess piece he was about to put down, and squinted at Yu Xia who was kneeling on the ground.

Although it was only a light glance, Yu Xia felt an atmosphere that he had never felt before: "This subordinate is incompetent, please forgive me, my lord!"

Meng Xuanfeng, who was dressed in dark green, withdrew his gaze from Yu Xia, and looked at the chessboard on the stone table: "So, the princess was robbed?"

"Yes."

"The princess was taken away by one person just under the noses of you group?" Meng Xuanfeng's eyes were still looking at the chess game, and he kept turning the white chess piece on his fingertips in his hand, and his voice came faintly.

Yu Xia listened to Meng Xuanfeng's words, and nodded: "Yes."

"Just one person?"

"Yes." Yu Xia replied tremblingly when she heard the master's words, sweat dripped from her forehead.

"A large group of you can't stop a single person?"

Sweat rolled directly down the cheeks and dripped directly to the ground. The person kneeling on the ground hesitated and nodded: "Yes."

The slender fingers squeezed the white chess piece made of sheep fat jade between the fingertips, and then looked at Yu Xia: "Do you have anything to explain?"

"Back to your lord, it's... Ao Hanyi." Yu Xia, whose back was chilled and sweat was all over his forehead, didn't dare to raise his head.

"That woman can have an accident, but this king does not allow that woman to have an accident in my hands, let alone her at this time." Meng Xuanfeng seemed to have not heard the name Yu Xia said, and moved the chess piece in his hand. Put it directly on the chessboard, "Understood?"

In an environment so quiet that there was no slightest noise, only the sound of chess pieces falling from fingertips to the chessboard could be heard.

"This subordinate understands." Yu Xia nodded.

However, Liu Meier sat across from Meng Xuanfeng, and when she heard the word "Ao Hanyi", her hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and the tea spilled all over the table.

"Beauty!" The tea was poured out, and the chessboard and chess pieces were all wet, but Meng Xuanfeng immediately got up and grabbed Liu Meier's hand, with a nervous expression on his face, "How is it? Did you get burned?"

"No, it's okay. The water is too hot, I didn't pay attention just now, so..." Liu Meier shook her head, shrinking her burned hand slightly, "I'm sorry, Meier disturbed the prince, please punish him."

As Liu Meier said, she took a step back and apologized to Meng Xuanfeng.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by disturbing the king?" Meng Xuanfeng ignored this, then hugged the woman in white, and pulled Liu Meier's retracted hand.Seeing that his fair fingers were burnt red, Meng Xuanfeng frowned slightly, without raising his head, he ordered directly: "Come on, drag the tea-making girl out and beat her fifty times with a cane!"

"Yes! Your lord!" Hearing Meng Xuanfeng's words, the guard immediately stepped forward and dragged out the maid who had just served tea.

"My lord... Your lord, please spare me!" The girl serving tea was dragged out by several servants before she recovered her senses, and the voice came from afar.

Liu Meier turned her head to look at the servant girl who was carried away: "My lord..."

"Beauties don't need to intercede, and those who make beauty suffer can't be easily let go." Facing Meng Xuanfeng's punishment of his servants, Liu Meier wanted to speak, but was stopped by Meng Xuanfeng.

"But, that's not the servant girl's fault..."

"Shhh... the king will get angry if the beauty talks about it." Before Liu Meier could finish speaking, Meng Xuanfeng's finger landed on the moist lips, "The king sent the beauty back to apply medicine."
