"There's really nothing I can do?" Shen Haoxuan asked.
"Unless we move this mountain away, it would be too troublesome to enter the Chu Country through formal means." Xuanyuan Chen said in a deep voice. His brows tightly knitted, and his normally beautiful phoenix eyes also drooped a little at this moment.
Shen Haoxuan pondered for a long time before suddenly saying, "My prince, why don't you and the young wangfei mention this matter. I think the little wangfei should be able to think of a solution."
Shen Haoxuan's intuition told him that Xie Qingrong definitely had a way, since he had never seen such a girl before. Even if she was intelligent, it was impossible for him to do so.
Xuanyuan Chen was well aware of Shen Haoxuan's doubts. It was just that, why did he never ask her? It was all because of the selfish desire in his heart. He couldn't bear to put her in such a difficult place. Even if he had complete confidence, he wouldn't dare take the risk.
Shen Haoxuan seemed to see the hesitation in Xuanyuan Chen's heart, and smiled, no longer with a casual look, it was rather intriguing.
Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, "At this point in time, this king has his own considerations, so there's no need to mention it again."
If it really comes to that, then let's give it a try.
Xuanyuan Chen watched as a city standing at the intersection of the Heavenly Sage and Yue Country, that was independent of both countries, the Min City.
This city was impregnable. The Heavenly Sage and the Yue Country had tried everything but to be unable to take it down. Who knew where this City Lord Min came from? He was actually able to make the Min City stand independent from the other two great nations, and was also able to allow the Min City to have the power to protect himself from being annexed by the two great nations.
As a result, the Min City had replaced the original place of intersection, becoming a new boundary. If one wanted to travel from the Heavenly Sage Kingdom to the Yue Country, they would have to pass through the gates of the Min City. At the same time, if one wanted to travel from Yue Country to Heavenly Sage Kingdom, they would have to pass through the gates of Min City, which meant the west gate and the east gate.
"Do any of you know anything about the origins of this place?" Xuanyuan Chen asked indifferently.
Lin Mu shook his head and said: "I don't know."
He only knew that the City Lord Min had an extraordinary background and that his abilities were extraordinary, so he did not know anything else.
Shen Haoxuan flapped the tasseled fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said: "I know a bit. I heard that the City Lord Min came from the middle region, and the tall city walls were constructed by the City Lord Min and his men, extremely stable. "Many people have tried their best to attack this place and have failed."
Middle stage?
This matter was getting more and more interesting.
The corner of Xuanyuan Chen's mouth raised into a faint smile, and his phoenix eyes pricked up slightly. He seemed to have thought of something interesting by revealing such an intriguing expression.
Every time Shen Haoxuan saw Xuanyuan Chen's smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the hairs on his back would rise. He quickly changed the topic and asked, "Your Royal Highness, has the wedding date been set yet?"
"Three months from now." When he talked about his marriage with Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen changed his dangerous smile and revealed a few traces of a sincere expression.
"Three months from now, is it an eventful time? Are you sure that we can smoothly conclude the marriage at that time?" Shen Haoxuan asked.
It was not that Shen Haoxuan did not trust the Duke's abilities, it was just that the Second Prince's movements were increasing every day. Xuanyuan Jing was afraid that he would make his move before three months had even passed.
Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if three months from now were to pass and things become complicated, this king would definitely allow A Rong to marry into the Prince Chen's Mansion and become this king's Princess Consort Chen." A hint of arrogance and confidence could be heard in his deep voice.
Indeed, Xuanyuan Chen had the ability to be arrogant and confident. After thinking for a moment, Shen Haoxuan no longer said anything.
"Haoxuan, send some people to keep an eye on Wen Yan." Xuanyuan Chen changed the subject and mentioned Zhangsun Wenyan.
Shen Haoxuan's clear and limpid eyes were filled with suspicion, not knowing why Xuanyuan Chen did not send people to protect Zhangsun Wenyan.
Xuanyuan Chen saw the doubt in Shen Haoxuan's eyes, and did not explain too much, he only said indifferently: "It's not convenient for me to help."
Even though he knew that his royal brother's men were protecting him by Zhangsun Wenyan's side, he was still a little worried, afraid that Zhangsun Wenyan would do something stupid by herself. A few years ago, he still hadn't noticed anything strange about Zhangsun Wenyan, but these past few days he had been relying on her, and he felt more and more that Zhangsun Wenyan seemed to be plotting something.
The tacit understanding that Shen Haoxuan and Shen Haoxuan had had for many years surfaced at this moment. After thinking for a while, he had already guessed that Xuanyuan Chen had not said all that he had wanted to say.
"I will send my Tianyi Pavilion's best assassin to protect Zhangsun Wenyan. Once Zhangsun Wenyan encounters danger, he will definitely be the first one to notice it. Moreover, he will be able to report Zhangsun Wenyan's situation."
The three of them discussed a lot of things in the study room. Before Shen Haoxuan and Lin Mu left, they repeatedly asked Xuanyuan Chen, "Your highness, tomorrow you will go with King Jing to various counties to rob their families, but please do not forget not to underestimate King Jing. He is not afraid of King Jing making things difficult for you on the surface, only afraid that he would cause trouble in the dark.
Moreover, this opportunity is related to the position of Crown Prince, even though we all know that the King does not like that position. However, the Prince naturally knows in his heart that the person who sat on that seat was, after all, the prince's most respected royal brother. No matter what, we still hope that the Prince will be able to hold on to that position. "
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, his clear and handsome eyes flashed with a trace of being moved. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a sincere smile, as if he was a peach flower blooming at the start of March, dazzling and threatening.
On the way back, Lin Mu suddenly asked Shen Haoxuan, with a face full of suspicion and puzzlement, "I keep having the feeling that the Duke was hiding something from us, can you guess what the Duke is hiding from us?"
Shen Haoxuan suddenly laughed, he was not indifferent like usual, nor did he appear to be disrespectful at all. The smile on his face carried a hint of resignation, "Lin Mu, since we are loyal to the Duke, no matter what the Prince wants us to do, we do not need to question him, we only need to obey him."
Lin Mu shook his head, his usually cold and steady face actually carrying a bit of worry and worry, "I am not suspecting that the Duke has other intentions, I am just a little worried for you."
The corner of Shen Haoxuan's mouth hooked into a very nostalgic smile, his handsome face carried a little seriousness and seriousness, "No matter what, he is still our Prince. "Since I chose to follow him back then, then no matter what he does, I will follow him to the end."
Even if the prince wanted his life, he would not hesitate to hand it over to him.
Without asking for the reason, there was no need for the reason.
Moreover, this life was given by the prince.
Lin Mu wiped off the beautiful thin lip. Although it still looked a bit worried on the surface, the depths of its eyes held a firm conviction.
It was as Shen Haoxuan had said, unconditionally obeying the Duke had already become their instinct, not to mention the fact that the person he had sworn to follow at all costs was someone who had given him a new lease on life.
