621 Xiao Hanzheng was really good
The North Prince had thought that Xiao Hanzheng might have hidden some of his people, but he did not expect Prince Yi to be the one who was hiding behind.
“When did you get here?” he asked with a dark expression.
Liang Yulin smiled. “I came after you cleaned up those people outside who were working under my brother the previous dynasty’s princess.”
The North Prince was speechless.
This fellow was really patient.
“Then why did you only show up now?”
The three of them had already decided who would win.
Liang Yulin sighed. “It’s your fault for taking so long to organize the treasures.
“In the future, you still have to train them to improve their work efficiency.”
The North Prince was speechless.
He felt as if another mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest.
How could he not understand that Prince Yi wanted to take advantage of him? He was even waiting to get hold of all the treasure here.
Everyone saw the North Prince’s sullen face and knew that he had been angered by Prince Yi.
No one would be happy that Prince Yi had taken advantage of them.
They were still waiting for the North Prince to speak, so nobody expected him to suddenly rush toward Shi Qingluo to grab her.
He clearly wanted to use her as a hostage.
Seeing this, Liang Yujun couldn’t help but want to comment that the North Prince was indeed smart and knew how to make a move on Shi Qingluo.
Xiao Hanzheng was about to become the stepson of his disgraceful younger brother, and Shi Qingluo was the sweetheart of Prince Yi’s stepson.
As long as he got hold of Shi Qingluo, the North Prince might not only be able to leave this place as planned, but he might also be able to take the treasure away.
However, just when everyone thought that the North Prince would catch Shi Qingluo, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly stood in front of her.
His hands that were tied behind his back instantly broke free, and he drew a soft sword from his waist to meet the attack.
Shi Qingluo also broke free from the rope that bound her and threw it on the ground.
She also took out a thin whip from her waist and whipped the two others who had tagged along the North Prince.
The two of them were caught off guard and were hit head-on, and they attempted to dodge.
It was also because of their movements that allowed Shi Qingluo to find an opportunity to whip them and force them to take a few steps back. She then went to Prince Yi’s side.
Prince Yi’s experts immediately stood in front of Shi Qingluo and preemptively fought with the two secret guards of the North Prince.
Liang Yulin looked at Shi Qingluo, who was safe and sound, and smiled. “It’s good that you’re fine.”
When the North Prince suddenly did that, he was actually shocked.
If his eldest daughter-in-law had really been arrested, he would really have to compromise.
After all, no amount of gold, silver, and jewelry could compare to the life of someone he valued.
However, it was obvious that his eldest son and daughter-in-law were not just smart.
When Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty saw that Shi Qingluo and her husband had broken free from the ropes so quickly, their expressions turned ugly.
If the North Prince had not appeared, Prince Yi, Shi Qingluo and her husband would have schemed against them.
The princess from the previous dynasty frowned and looked at Shi Qingluo, “How did you break free from the ropes?”
Her trusted aide was the one who had tied the two of them up, so it was impossible for them to break free easily.
She also glanced over and saw that their hands were indeed tied tightly.
Shi Qingluo took out a sharp blade from her sleeve and waved it. “Because we are prepared!”
The blade wasn’t actually in her sleeve.
After all, it wasn’t easy to hold it since her hands were tied up.
If she wasn’t careful, it would injure her hand.
She had put it in her space in advance.
When the three parties were in chaos, she had taken it out of her space and cut the rope.
Then, she approached her young husband and helped him cut his rope.
The princess from the previous dynasty was speechless. The two of them were well-prepared and had clearly predicted that they would be tied up.
Prince Jin didn’t know what to say.
It seemed like they were occupied all day just to help these few people with their own plans.
No wonder Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng were watching the show so leisurely, not afraid of being caught or killed. They were prepared for this.
Soon, everyone’s eyes were on the North Prince and Xiao Hanzheng.
The two of them were evenly skilled, and their movements were so fast that it dazzled their eyes.
Liang Yulin asked Shi Qingluo worriedly, “Who do you think will win?”
The North Prince was known as the Ge Kingdom’s God of War. He was highly skilled in martial arts, and he felt that his own skills wouldn’t be comparable to his.
Of course, they would only know the outcome if they had a match.
That was why he was worried that his eldest son would not be able to defeat the North Prince and would be captured as his hostage.
Shi Qingluo gave an expression that suggests that she was taking this for granted. “It must be my husband.”
Those present were speechless.
How confident are you of your husband!
However, they felt that the North Prince had a higher chance of winning.
After all, he was highly skilled in martial arts and was very experienced.
Looking at this burly and tall figure, he was an expert in fighting.
The impression that Xiao Hanzheng gave to Prince Jin and the others was that he was gentle and handsome, like a weak scholar. How could he possibly defeat the fierce North Prince?
However, the result was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Not only did Xiao Hanzheng defeat the North Prince with a fierce attack swiftly, but he had also put the flexible sword on the North Prince’s neck and made him his hostage.
Xiao Hanzheng put his sword against the North Prince’s neck and smiled. “You’ve let me win, your Royal Highness!”
The North Prince was speechless.
Where was the weak scholar he was expecting?
Damn it, how could Xiao Hanzheng’s martial arts be so good?
His face was full of dissatisfaction.
Shi Qingluo looked at him and laughed, “North Prince, don’t be unconvinced. My husband used his martial arts to defeat you, the God of War.
“If he had used poison, you would have been poisoned countless times.
“In fact, even if Prince Yi didn’t come today, you guys wouldn’t be able to escape,” she said with narrowed eyes.
She took out a packet of medicine from her sleeve and shook it. “As long as I sprinkle it on you, you won’t have the strength to move for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. In the end, you’ll still be at our mercy.”
She had done this on purpose to anger them.
She also wanted to let these people know that since they were constantly scheming against others, they had to be prepared to be schemed against too.
They were well prepared.
In addition to Prince Yi’s ambush, they also had the bone-softening powder newly developed by her young husband.
It was also because of this that the couple had so openly presented themselves to their door as so-called “prisoners”.
As expected, Prince Jin, the North Prince, and the princess from the previous dynasty wanted to vomit blood again.
So, from the beginning to the end, the true winners were actually Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, who they had never taken seriously?
They still believed Shi Qingluo’s words.
First, it was because Xiao Hanzheng was the disciple of the divine doctor, and it was said that he was a master in crafting poison.
Secondly, it was because Shi Qingluo had no reason to lie to them.
But the more it was like this, the more they felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.
They had lost too badly.
The North Prince wanted to vomit blood the most. As an oriole, he was the most aggrieved. He had just revealed himself and he had already met the hunter.
Now, not only had he lost to Xiao Hanzheng, but he had also taken him as his hostage. If this were to spread, his reputation would be ruined.
“Your Highness,” Xiao Hanzheng said to the North Prince, “ask your men to move all these boxes and sacks out.”
The North Prince was speechless.
Xiao Hanzheng was really good, he was so brave.
He sneered, “What if I don’t? ”
To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Hanzheng directly hit the North Prince’s head with his sword. “Then I’ll have to be impolite, Your Highness.”
He had promised his wife that he would smash the North Prince’s head.
Although he couldn’t kill the North Prince, he could still teach him a lesson.
