C420 Return of Xuanyuan Rui

stopped his attack on the Heavenly Saint. Shen Haoxuan secretly observed the people that Mo Yun had sent, and realized that the other party wanted to monopolize all the food in Wu Huan's territory with the Heavenly Saint.

Shen Haoxuan told Xie Qingrong that he must do everything in his power to disrupt Mo Yun's plans.

In the past few days, Mo Yun had received letters from one of his subordinates informing him that someone had been secretly monitoring their movements. As long as they did anything to collect food, there would definitely be people who would buy it in advance.

Therefore, Wu Huan's food had not arrived yet.

After receiving the letter, Mo Yun was so angry that he slammed the cup in his hand against the wall, leaving behind a drop of water and a shattered piece of porcelain.

Xuanyuan Chen's injuries were already getting better and better, and from Shen Haoxuan's letter, he already found out everything he had done in Mo Bei.

A cup of green tea was placed beside Xuanyuan Chen. When the tea was opened, a dense cloud of hot air was emitted without stop, while Xuanyuan Chen seemed to not have noticed at all as he held the letter that was sent back from the Mo Bei.

The edges of the letter were already covered in fine hairs, as if it had been rubbed by someone many times. Xuanyuan Chen read through the contents of the letter again once more and carefully read through it before placing it back into the wooden box.

This was the letter Xie Qingrong had written him, and it was the most precious thing he had encountered so far. She needed to store it carefully and not let anyone destroy it, including him.

Xuanyuan Rui brought Zhangsun Wenyan to the crown prince's residence. The first thing he saw was Xuanyuan Chen, who was still recovering, with a happy yet strange smile on his face.

Xuanyuan Chen reclined on his bed, and upon hearing the familiar footsteps coming from the courtyard, he shifted his gaze from the rattan frame to Xuanyuan Rui's body, and a hint of happiness instantly flashed across his face.

He could hear Xuanyuan Rui's footsteps just now, but he knew in his heart that Xuanyuan Rui had taken Zhangsun Wenyan to travel the four seas with him, so he was not certain.

"Royal brother, why did you suddenly return?" Xuanyuan Rui immediately got up from the chair, walked to Xuanyuan Rui's side and patted his shoulder.

Although Xuanyuan Chen's expression did not change much, the slight redness in his eyes was enough to prove the excitement in his heart.

Zhangsun Wenyan's hand was wrapped around Xuanyuan Rui's wrist, and between his brows, there was the expression of a woman's gentleness, as though he was looking at a little brother. His gentle gaze followed Xuanyuan Rui's gaze and fixated on Xuanyuan Chen.

"Wen Yan and I couldn't rest at ease. In the end, we decided to come back together and lend you a hand." Xuanyuan Rui also patted Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, his gaze gentle yet firm.

While he and Zhangsun Wenyan were travelling around the four seas, the hidden forces had used a special method to contact the two of them. The two of them had immediately ended their journey and hurriedly rushed back.

He came to see how Xuanyuan Chen's injuries were and how he could help Xuanyuan Chen defeat Wu Huan, as well as the Chu Country Monk who was eyeing them covetously and did not know how to deal with his friends and enemies.

If the war ended earlier, he and Wen Yan would be able to travel with ease.

Hearing about everything that Xie Qingrong had done in the Jiang Province, he and Zhangsun Wenyan felt extremely proud, but at the same time, they were also incredibly worried about Xie Qingrong's consolation. Zhangsun Wenyan could not help but want to return, if he did not stop them, they would have already been helping Xie Qingrong on the battlefield.

Xie Qingrong was the most suitable wife for Xuanyuan Chen, a wife who could help him and share her hardships with him, a wife who was not one bit inferior to him.

"Royal brother, you and royal sister-in-law need not worry about my safety. If it wasn't for A Rong telling me to heal up properly before I could return to the battlefield, I would have long been on the battlefield bloodshed. There is no need for me to hide here and have my wife fight on my behalf."

Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, but he was still able to see the slight sadness between his brows.

Xuanyuan Rui chuckled and said, "Chen Er, since sister-in-law has said so. What else can you do but do it? Furthermore, if not for your siblings, you would probably have died at the Chu Country's border long ago. " As he spoke about death, Xuanyuan Rui's originally teasing attitude immediately dissipated, and his tone became somewhat gloomy and cold, with a tinge of ruthlessness.

Zhangsun Wenyan pulled on Xuanyuan Rui's sleeves, making it suitable for Xuanyuan Rui to hide his expression.

Only then did Xuanyuan Rui withdraw his dangerous gaze.

In the end, he was still a member of the royal family, and possessed an imposing aura. No matter what, there would never be any change.

"Royal brother, don't make fun of me. I wish that Xie Qingrong could hide under my wings forever, but I can't do that. Xie Qingrong was an eagle soaring in the blue sky, not a canary trapped in a cage. If I break her wings, she won't be happy and she won't forgive me for the rest of her life. "

Xuanyuan Chen laughed lightly, but his tone was bitter as if he was drinking some medicine, and his throat had a bit of a astringent feeling.

That day at the Chu Country's border, if it wasn't for Xie Qingrong, I really would have died at the Chu Country's border like my royal brother said. After that, there would never be a peaceful day between the Chu Country and the Heavenly Sage, becoming eternal enemies.

Even though he had never cared about the lives of those people, he had received a lot of education and the skills of an emperor from his childhood, making it impossible for him to put the lives of ordinary people behind him.

Since he enjoyed the unparalleled glory and prosperity of being a member of the royal family, he had to take responsibility for himself, even if he never liked it.

Xuanyuan Rui stared fixedly at Xuanyuan Chen in front of him. Seeing his cold and calm face and his unwavering gaze, the stubbornness in that pair of eyes that were exactly like his own was almost enough to burn his phoenix eyes.

He smiled and said, "You should stay in the Crown Prince's Palace to recuperate. I will protect everything in Jiang Prefecture for you. I definitely won't let anyone have any opportunity to take advantage of the Heavenly Sage. As for the Mo Bei, I'll leave it to you and my sister-in-law. I believe that you and your sister-in-law will definitely be able to protect the Heavenly Saint well, the home that you have raised us and taught us since we were young. "

After he finished speaking, he patted Zhangsun Wenyan's hand and brought Zhangsun Wenyan out of the crown prince's mansion, leaving the rest of the space for Xuanyuan Rui, in hopes that he could properly consider these problems.

Don't be impulsive.

But he, on the other hand, had to bring Zhangsun Wenyan to the palace entrance as he had another joyous event to tell his royal father and mother. After all, this joyous event could somewhat alleviate his current worries and bring a burst of vitality and perseverance to the Heavenly Saint.
