When Baili Yuanlong heard that His Highness was going alone, he immediately tried to persuade him. "Your Highness, this subordinate must accompany you. This subordinate is most familiar with the details of military affairs. This subordinate must …"
Before he could finish, Long Fei Ye interrupted him Coldly. "Are you saying that this crown prince isn't familiar with military affairs?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Baili Yuanlong realized that he had overstepped his bounds. "This subordinate is worried that Your Highness …"
"Do you think this crown prince will be deceived by a woman?" Long Fei Ye cut him off harshly. "Or are you like the Tang siblings, still suspecting that this crown prince will cherish old feelings for Han Yunxi?"
After the first negotiation, His Highness had humiliated the master and servant of Western Qin to such an extent. Baili Yuanlong had long stopped suspecting him. He was only going because he wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible and be His Highness's advisor.
He was about to explain when Long Fei Ye coldly retorted, "What, do you think this crown prince will forget who he is for a woman?"
"No! No! "
Baili Yuanlong immediately fell to one knee. "Your Highness, please understand. This general has no such intention! This general will absolutely obey all of Your Highness's orders! I only hope that Your Highness will be more careful on this trip to guard against any tricks. "
Long Fei Ye finally softened his tone. "Go about your business. This crown prince has his own arrangements for the negotiations."
"Yes! This general awaits Your Highness's good news. "Baili Yuanlong finally withdrew.
It was easy for Long Fei Ye to deal with Baili Yuanlong. After all, Long Fei Ye had peerless martial arts and didn't need anyone to worry about him. Moreover, his style had always been domineering and decisive. He didn't need others to say anything.
However, Han Yunxi was different.
Without Ning Cheng's help, that trash Han Yunxi wouldn't even have been able to climb such a steep cliff.
She tried her best to convince Ning Cheng to just arrange guards for her, but Ning Cheng wouldn't feel at ease letting her go alone.
After a round of discussion, Han Yunxi was defeated.
"Your Highness, when I'm free in the future, how about I teach you martial arts?" Ning Cheng asked.
Han Yunxi thought that if she knew martial arts, she would be able to convince Ning Cheng today. She smiled bitterly. "I can't learn it."
"Why can't I learn it? Your Highness has never learned it before, right? "Ning Cheng asked again.
Han Yunxi was about to tell Ning Cheng that she had long been determined to be a natural waste. She was unable to gather Qi and cultivate internal strength, so she was unable to learn martial arts.
Before Han Yunxi could say anything, the attendant came over with something that she was very familiar with. It was the Pearflower Storm Needles!
Han Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She watched as Ning Cheng took the item and walked towards her.
"Here!" Ning Cheng said seriously.
"This …" Han Yunxi played dumb.
This Pearflower Storm Needles had long been used up by Tang Li on his escape from the wedding. It was now useless. When Ning Jing married into the Tang Clan, the Tang Clan had used it as a betrothal gift to cheat Cloud Realm Trade Consortium. She never expected Ning Cheng to still treat it as a treasure.
"Pearflower Storm Needles, the Tang Clan's number two assassination weapon! For you, keep it for self-defense. It's a hundred times more powerful than the weapons in your sleeves. " As Ning Cheng spoke, he added, "I spent a lot of effort to find out how to use this thing. Hold it like this and press this mechanism when you want to use it. Remember, you have to aim before pressing it. "
Ning Cheng demonstrated as he explained, "There's a limit to the number of needles hidden here. Using one means losing one. Thus, you can't use it unless it's a critical moment, such as a life or death situation. "
Han Yunxi nodded her head blankly, feeling incomparably guilty.
After all, she had long used up quite a few of these Pearflower Storm Needles. Moreover, both Tang Li and Long Fei Ye had praised her for holding the weapon so beautifully that she wouldn't lose out to a man.
How would Ning Cheng react if he found out the truth?
Han Yunxi was still feeling guilty when Ning Cheng said in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, this thing … just keep it to deal with Long Fei Ye."
Han Yunxi knew that Ning Cheng was willing to part with this treasure because he wanted to deal with Long Fei Ye.
In a flash, all of her guilty conscience vanished into thin air. "No need to give it to me. I believe that Long Fei Ye won't really do anything to a woman like me. You can keep it for yourself."
"Princess …"
"Ning Cheng, if you're safe, then I'm safe, isn't that right?"
These words simply touched Ning Cheng's heart. Ning Cheng didn't refuse anymore. Han Yunxi asked faintly, "What's the situation with Ning Jing?"
"I just received the news yesterday and was about to report it to Your Royal Highness," Ning Cheng said, "Ning Jing has fallen into Long Fei Ye's hands. Tang Li came forward as the leader of the Tang Sect to ask for her, but was rejected. Your Royal Highness, this is an excellent opportunity. I've already sent Ning An to the Tang Sect. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to persuade the Tang Sect to cooperate with Western Qin. "
Ning Cheng said and asked again, "Your Royal Highness, have you seen any private dealings between Long Fei Ye and the Tang Sect before?"
Han Yunxi was so shocked that her jaw almost fell to the ground. She subconsciously shook her head. "No … I haven't seen it before."
She was still worried that the Tang Sect had been exposed. She didn't expect Tang Li to have the ability to make things like this and cause Ning Cheng to have such a big misunderstanding.
If she guessed correctly, it should be Tang Li who imprisoned Ning Cheng and then pushed the blame to Long Fei Ye.
Ning Cheng hoped to cooperate with the Tang Sect. At this moment, Tang Li was probably at the Tang Sect, waiting for Ning Cheng to deliver himself to him!
As long as the Tang Sect seized this opportunity and pretended to cooperate with Ning Cheng, wouldn't Tang Li kill Ning Cheng under Long Fei Ye's various instructions?
Where did Tang Li get his confidence from? Why was he so sure she wouldn't leave the Tang Clan? After all, she was very clear about the relationship between the Tang Sect and Long Fei Ye!
After a long while, Han Yunxi replied to Ning Cheng, "It's a good idea."
With Han Yunxi's words, Ning Cheng felt more assured about the Tang Sect.
Night fell.
The two parties arrived at the cliff as scheduled.
Just like the first time they met, Han Yunxi saw Long Fei Ye standing alone in the middle of the suspension bridge from afar. He was still dressed in black and had a cold expression.
He was like a god of the night, standing there Cold and aloof. He was high and mighty, ruling the world and looking down on the common people.
His figure was compatible with the night, so mysterious that it was intimidating. No one dared to approach him, but there was a kind of charm about him that made people fascinated. Even if they had to go to the soup, they would still want to get close to him, respect him, love him, cherish him, worship him, and dedicate themselves to him.
Long Fei Ye … Long Fei Ye …
Han Yunxi silently chanted his name in her heart.
However, Ning Cheng noticed that there was no one on the other side of the cliff. This time, Long Fei Ye came alone.
What did he mean?
"Princess, Long Fei Ye came alone," Ning Cheng said in a low voice.
Han Yunxi couldn't see Long Fei Ye's expression clearly because they were still some distance away. However, she didn't know why, but she felt that he was watching her every move.
She took a small step back discreetly to keep a distance from Ning Cheng. "He can make all the decisions. Why does he need someone else to accompany him?"
Han Yunxi made it sound like she was a puppet.
Ning Cheng immediately explained, "Princess, you can make all the decisions on this matter. I'm just worried about your safety."
"If both sides fight, they won't kill the envoys. If they stop fighting and negotiate, they won't fight. He's a dignified man. What can he do to me? "Han Yunxi retorted.
"Yes." Ning Cheng didn't argue anymore.
The real location of the negotiation was in the middle of the bridge. It was suspended in the air without any walls.
Only the relevant people could hear all the details of the negotiation. Even their personal bodyguards couldn't hear it.
This location was chosen by Ning Cheng. Both sides were satisfied.
All the attendants were waiting behind them. Han Yunxi and Ning Cheng came to the end of the suspension bridge. Long Fei Ye's cold eyes slowly narrowed, full of warning. However, it wasn't clear whether he was warning Han Yunxi or Ning Cheng.
"Princess, I'll bring you there. I've offended you! "
As soon as Ning Cheng's voice fell, before he even made a move, Long Fei Ye coldly opened his mouth, "Han Yunxi, you're a country's princess. You need someone to escort you halfway across the bridge? Is your Western Qin royal family this weak? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with this prince? You can go back! "
Han Yunxi looked at him from the distance. She didn't look away, as if she was afraid she would miss a glance.
Long Fei Ye loudly said to Ning Cheng, "Ning Cheng, how about you talk to this king? This prince has no interest in such an incompetent woman! "
"You're going too far!"
Ning Cheng was about to explode, but Han Yunxi stopped him. She loudly said, "Long Fei Ye, just wait. This princess will walk over by herself!"
"Princess, you can't!" Ning Cheng was shocked, "Princess, don't fall for his trick! He's doing this on purpose! "
Ning Cheng wasn't stupid, but it was a pity that he still hadn't guessed the truth.
Long Fei Ye was creating an opportunity for Han Yunxi. He was also creating an opportunity for the two of them to talk alone. He had already hidden several dozen Shadow Guards in the abyss. Even if Han Yunxi fell, nothing major would happen.
Then again, even if there were no Shadow Guards, with his current martial arts, he wouldn't allow anything to happen to her.
Han Yunxi, if you want to know the answer, then come over here!
"I know he's doing this on purpose." Han Yunxi lightly said.
"Then you're still ….." Ning Cheng was about to go crazy.
"Ning Cheng, as the princess of Western Qin, protecting the dignity of the royal family is far more important than taking revenge and restoring the country!" Han Yunxi's words were an excuse, but they were also the truth.
Ning Cheng was about to explain, but Han Yunxi said, "Ning Cheng, we already lost face last time. This time, we can't lose face again!"
When these words were said, Ning Cheng fell silent.
Han Yunxi stepped onto the suspension bridge and grabbed the ropes on both sides. However, the broken plank under her feet still swayed several times.
"Princess!"
Ning Cheng anxiously stepped down, stabilizing the plank for her.
"I'm fine, Ning Cheng. Believe me!" Han Yunxi said.
Ning Cheng still didn't retreat. Han Yunxi simply retreated, "That's fine. You talk to him. This princess will go back!"
"This subordinate doesn't dare!" Ning Cheng immediately knelt down on one knee. He was incomparably vexed. Why did he choose such a broken place in the first place?
"Ning Cheng, wait for me to come back. This is an order! "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Ning Cheng didn't want to look at her, nor did he want to answer. However, in the end, he could only obey the order, "This subordinate obeys!"
Han Yunxi finally walked back to the bridge. She took the first step. After she steadied herself, she resolutely continued to take the second step.
Whether it was Long Fei Ye or Ning Cheng, they all watched without blinking. They didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
The plank under her feet swayed and made creaking sounds as if it would break at any time. The ropes on her hands were very thin and couldn't support Han Yunxi's strength. It was even harder for her to maintain her balance. She had just taken the third step when her whole body suddenly fell to the right …..
