Duan Chang Feng's weathered eyes were filled with deep nostalgia. He lowered his head and shook it, "Let's not talk about that. Your Highness didn't come late at night just to catch up with me. If there's anything you want to say, just say it. I'll do my best."
Xiahou Qing was not pretentious. "I know that you are of noble character, so I will not beat around the bush with you. Tomorrow, the Southern Yan Vice Emissary will most likely invite you to the palace to verify something. When the time comes, I would like to ask for your assistance."
Duan Chang Feng laughed heartily, "It's just a small matter. The Crown Prince and I are friends who have gone through life and death together. There's no need to be so courteous. It'll make us seem distant."
Xiahou Qing also laughed, "I'm treating you like an outsider. I'll use tea in place of wine to punish myself by drinking three cups."
"Good, good, good! I'll drink with Your Highness! "
After a few cups of tea, the two exchanged their experiences in the past few years and talked happily. It was already the second half of the night. In order to prevent other Southern Yan envoys from finding out, Duan Chang Feng left first. Xiahou Qing stood up to send him off and said, "Mister, why did you come to the capital incognito?"
Duan Chang Feng looked at the gurgling water outside the window and the reflection of the moon in the water. He suddenly smiled, and some kind of deep thought floated in his eyes, "I'm a person with half my body buried in the earth. What can I do? I haven't returned for many years and miss my hometown, so I took the opportunity to come back and see it. After seeing it, I'll leave forever. "
"Who are you? Get out of my way!"
In front of the Gate of Divine Martial, about a hundred feet away, the sleeping Xuanwu Street was awakened by a delicate voice. Xiao Zhangping lifted the curtain and looked at the person in the middle of the road. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
This person was wearing a black cloak, and even a strand of hair was hidden in the darkness. He stood quietly in the middle of the street and looked at her. She couldn't see anything except for the pair of bright eyes under the cloak, which made her feel numb all over.
Not long after she separated from Ning Shu, her personal maid Hong Fei noticed that someone had been following them. She looked back several times and didn't see anyone. She thought Hong Fei was being paranoid. She didn't expect this person to really exist. And he only showed up when they reached the Gate of Divine Martial. What did this mean? This person was not afraid of being discovered by the Imperial Guards who were a hundred zhang away!
Xiao Zhangping glared at her and scolded again, "Didn't you hear what this princess said? It's late at night, this princess doesn't want to be entangled with you. If you know what's good for you, then quickly scram! "
The person under the cloak laughed. Her voice was soft and hoarse, but there was a hint of tenacity. It was a woman. She lowered her voice and said slowly, "There are some things that can only be said in the dead of night. Your Highness, please calm down. I have a deal that I think you will be very interested in. "
Xiao Zhangping glared and said, "No matter what the deal is, this princess is not interested. This Princess will give you one last chance. The palace gate is right in front of you. As long as this Princess gives the order, the Imperial Guards will immediately rush over to surround you and sentence you to death! You're not leaving? Hong Fei, go and call for help! "
Hong Fei got the order and immediately jumped out of the carriage to call for people. She heard the woman suddenly raise her voice and said, "Slow down." Dark clouds covered half of the moon. Under the slightly dim moonlight, the woman walked towards Xiao Zhangping step by step. She slowly lifted her cloak and exposed her face under the moonlight. She also exposed her face in front of Xiao Zhangping, "Princess, don't you want to know who I am? Then I will lift this cloak. I don't know if princess dares to look. "
When she saw the woman's face, Xiao Zhangping was shocked and took a deep breath. The dagger that she had been secretly holding in her hand to defend herself fell to the ground, "Why … is it you?!"
