After Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen finished watching Qi Yun, they clapped in praise. Qi Yun on the other hand, was a little embarrassed as he fanned himself, using the fan to hide his embarrassed face.
Xuanyuan Chen chuckled: "Young Master Qi is truly resourceful, I truly admire you."
He was meticulous enough to think of the simplest and most intuitive way to prove himself in such a delicate situation with so little time, and to let everyone understand the thief's scheme.
He truly deserved to be the Regent Qi Yun who had single-handedly helped the eight or nine year old Jun Changyou to become a sovereign.
"No, no. If Your Highness and the Crown Princess encounter such a situation, I'm afraid that I can think of a method that is more perfect and comprehensive than this king's." Qi Yun said in a very humble and polite manner.
Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, and laughed: "Young Master Qi, there is no need to be so modest, you have truly broadened your horizons today. However, Young Master Qi caused such a commotion in the Chu Country, so the following days will not be too peaceful. "
Not only did Xie Qingrong have a jinx mouth, her words were too effective.
Although the thief was caught red-handed, he only paid a few fines and was released from prison after three days.
The first thing he did after coming out of the prison was to seek revenge on the Qi Yun who caught him on the street the other day.
He told his brothers to crouch around, just in order to find traces of Qi Yun, and sure enough, they found traces of Qi Yun.
The thief thought to himself, "There's only three of them. When the time comes, I'll take away all their money bags and give them a good beating. This will be the end of this affair."
Qi Yun, Xuanyuan Chen and the other two had already sensed that someone was secretly watching them. In the past few days when they were travelling, they had already noticed that someone was peeping at them.
Today, they left the inn at dusk to have dinner at the restaurant they usually went to. When they arrived near the corner of the street, the three of them looked at each other before dispersing.
As they walked towards a quiet alley, the three of them met at the intersection.
The helpers the thief had found all entered through a few streets, slowly approaching Xuanyuan Chen and the other two.
The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth slowly raised into a cold, murderous smile. The bloodthirsty aura in her eyes became stronger and stronger as Xuanyuan Chen slightly pulled on Xie Qingrong's sleeve.
It indicated for Xie Qingrong to rein in her killing intent. After all, in this place, the Chu Country s did not have a deep foundation, so it would not be good for them to cause too much of a commotion.
Xie Qingrong was helpless, she curled her lips and looked at the two of them to communicate.
When the thief and helpers got closer and closer to them, Xie Qingrong's right hand moved slightly from her waist behind him, and immediately held onto a violet-gold whip.
He raised his voice and said, "Do it."
Qi Yun and Xuanyuan Chen could move together, but the three of them cooperated extremely well. They did not cause too much damage to the group of people, and only made heavy work on their joints.
Although it could be cured, once the wind and rain blew, the joints would faintly ache.
This group of people only had the courage to provoke Xie Qingrong's group because of their numbers and brute force. Xie Qingrong's group did not put them in their eyes and quickly dealt with them.
Xie Qingrong's whip had already tightly wrapped around the thief's hands. The whip fiercely swung backwards, and the thief was pulled into the air, falling onto the ground. Her stomach was in pain, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The thief glared at Xie Qingrong and Qi Yun and said sinisterly: If you want to kill or cut me, then do as you say.
In the future, if these people accidentally landed in his hands, he would definitely take revenge for today's grudge and the imprisonment three days ago.
Xie Qingrong looked at the hatred in the thief's eyes and laughed disdainfully: "It's just a bunch of thugs, not even the title of assassin in the underworld, how are you going to take revenge? "Although a thief like you is quite courageous, it's a pity that you used it in the wrong place."
With that, he kicked the thief hard in the chest, knocking him to the ground. His eyes were cold, "If you want to seek revenge from me, I'm ready at any time."
Hearing Xie Qingrong's words, the corner of Qi Yun's mouth twitched. He had never seen a woman who looked forward to her revenge so much. However, his understanding of Xie Qingrong was not deep, it was merely at the level of a friend.
Just at this moment, Xuanyuan Chen and the others decided to let the group of thieves go, when they heard a bright and clear voice, filled with laughter, come from behind them.
"I never thought that there would be such a crime happening at the feet of the Son of Heaven. It was the Chu Country's fault that an accident happened to three guests who came from afar. Please forgive me, my three esteemed guests. "
Gongsun Heng slowly walked out of the shadows. The one who was half a step behind him was a young master dressed in white, handsome and gentle with a smile on his face.
This man was An Muxi.
The thief who was lying on the ground saw the two familiar figures, and his heart slightly trembled.
Originally, he had been feeling lucky. After all, these people had left some face. However, these two were the crown prince and his companion, Lord An.
His little life might not last long, so he closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.
Xuanyuan Chen smiled slightly, a meaningful smile plastered on his lips, and a few glimmers of light appeared in his narrow and long phoenix eyes.
"No worries." We're fine. As for the thieves, I originally planned to hand them over to the yamen to handle. Since Crown Prince Gongsun has already appeared, then I will hand them over to Crown Prince Gongsun to handle. " Xuanyuan Chen laughed.
Originally, this group of people did not need to die, but if they fell into Gongsun Heng's hands, even if they did not die, they would at least die a little.
After all, although the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country were dirty, they could not be put on the surface, so they had to pretend to be peaceful on the surface.
"Yes." Gongsun Heng replied indifferently, "I'll leave these people to you."
"Yes." An Muxi followed Gongsun Heng's orders from behind. As for how to handle this group of thieves, they would probably never see the sun tomorrow.
"It is already late, so the three of you should not have eaten yet. My Prince just so happens to be going to Cui He Inn for dinner, if the three of you don't mind, why don't you have dinner together? " An Muxi suggested.
Xie Qingrong chuckled, and said: "Then I won't be courteous."
Other than An Muxi, no one knew that An Muxi had said all these because he had gestured with his hands behind his back.
An Muxi, who had grown up with Gongsun Heng, immediately understood his own Highness's intentions and offered to invite him in.
Sure enough, after Xie Qingrong agreed to the invitation, she made another gesture.
An Muxi retracted his gaze, and no longer paid any attention to his own highness' hand gestures. Taking two steps forward, he led the four of them to Cui He Inn.
