Feng Qingxiao coldly said, "Raise your head and look at This King!"

Gao Changfei suddenly raised his head and looked at him. He only needed to look at him face to face before he immediately lowered his eyelids. Unexpectedly, he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of this prince. He had never felt this way, and from the bottom of his heart, he was definitely not willing to assassinate King Jingyuan. That night, if he knew that his mission was to assassinate the prince, he would find an excuse not to go, or he would secretly send a letter to the prince …

His heart couldn't help but pound. Why would the Dragon Guards, a being that belonged solely to the Emperor, have such thoughts?

However …

Feng Qingxiao said word by word, "Gao Changfei, do you really want This King to ask you one sentence at a time?"

"Prince …"

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Even though he couldn't see the sharp gaze of the prince, he still felt as if there was something on his back. This is the Prince of War God, the war god of the Tianyuan Kingdom!

At this very moment, every second felt like an eternity to Gao Changfei. He would rather be killed by King Jingyuan at this moment than to face this kind of pressure and conflict in his heart. He wanted to say everything, but he wasn't willing to betray the Emperor, the oath sworn by the Dragon Guards. However, he couldn't stand by and watch his prince be ambushed by the emperor again and again.

"Say it, This King will ask you one last time."

The Prince of War's voice was cold and low, without a hint of anger or emotion, but it made Gao Changfei's body fiercely tremble again.

"Your Highness …" There were some things that this lowly official was not clear about. Now that he thought about it, the journey back to the capital might not be peaceful at all. "When I heard that Prince's old wounds had recurred and were difficult to treat, this lowly subordinate's heart is unable to win …"

At this point, he paused and smiled wryly to himself. If he were to say that he was extremely worried that the prince was injured, the prince would not believe him and would fawn even more to beg for mercy. He didn't think that begging for mercy from this prince was a shameful matter. Merely begging the God of Slaughter, was there any use?

"Please tell me, Your Highness, is your body alright now?"

His gaze slowly moved upwards from Feng Qingxiao's feet. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the prince's face. There was nothing out of the ordinary about his grave face. At the very least, he hadn't been able to tell that this prince was injured in the slightest, needless to say, that his life was in danger. He still remembered that night, when countless people from the Dragon Guards were dispatched, as well as many experts, including four Silver rank experts. Among them, the vice commander who commanded the operation stepped into the realm of a Golden Origin Stage expert, just a little bit away from reaching that supreme realm.

However, as soon as the prince made his move, three of the four masters had died, and he had almost died from his injuries.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but bitterly smile. He lowered his eyes and said, "This humble servant is stupid. Now it seems that your highness is naturally safe and sound."

"He's fine, but that's not necessarily true. This King has a lot of luck. This was pulled out from This King's chest."

"Clank …"

The Soul Devouring Crossbow was thrown in front of him. Seeing the Soul Devouring Crossbow, Gao Chang's pupils shrank as he stared at it in horror, "Soul Devouring Crossbow? It's actually the Soul Devouring Crossbow! "

He reached out to pick up the Soul Devouring Crossbow, but quickly retracted his hand. Even if it was half a Soul Devouring Crossbow lying on the ground, he didn't dare to pick it up with his bare hands.

"Your highness was hit by this Soul Devouring Crossbow? Is the Prince well? "

His expression was one of urgency as he stared at Feng Qingxiao's chest before raising his head to observe the prince's expression.

"This King has great luck. Someone used a heavenly method to pull out the Soul Devouring Crossbow and leave This King safe and sound. If not for that, This King might not have lived until today. "

"Is the prince really alright?"

Feng Qingxiao nodded, his heart filled with doubt. This Gao Changfei had an expression of surprise and worry on his face, not a trace of hypocrisy in it. The look in his eyes was one of extreme worry for him.

Gao Changfei clenched his fist and thought for a while before kneeling down. "My lord, this lowly subordinate knows what to say, and speaks it all up. Now that he thought about it, the reason why the Dragon Guards were so frequently used up was probably to assassinate the Prince. Now that I've seen this Soul Devouring Crossbow, I'm even more certain of this. It's just that … For those who have gone from the Dragon Guards to have never seen them return, I believe they have all been left behind by the King. "

He lowered his eyelids slightly, allowing Feng Qingxiao to see his expression and gaze. He told Feng Qingxiao everything he knew about the situation in the Dragon Guards.

He smiled wryly in his heart, but even more so in endless fear and despair.

The emperor actually used the Soul Devouring Crossbow on King Jingyuan!

Your majesty, how much hatred do you have for the King? How much hatred do you have for the Emperor? How much hatred do you have for the Emperor?

The Soul Devouring Crossbow that could devour souls was the most vicious in the world. No one was willing to dream about it even in nightmares. It was impossible to beg for death, in extreme pain, only after being tormented for a long time could it die. In the end, even the soul was devoured by the Soul Devouring Crossbow!

At this moment, he voluntarily told them everything he knew. He only hoped that the prince wouldn't suffer any more losses.

As he spoke more and more, Gao Changfei's heart also became more and more relaxed. It turned out that knowing too many secrets was a type of heaviness that was hard to escape. When he told her everything he knew, he was relieved.

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and once again respectfully bowed, saying with a nod, "Reporting to Your Highness, this lowly one knows that there is not the slightest thing that has been left out, so I shall report everything to Your Highness. Now, this lowly subordinate will await your punishment, your highness. "

Kneeling at the feet of Feng Qingxiao, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. Closing his eyes, he waited for death to come. Perhaps after he had automatically told them everything, the Prince would show mercy and grant him death.

"Gao Changfei, that night when you assassinated this king, you died."

"Yes, even if I have to die, I will not dare to defile your hands. If you have the kindness of the prince, please bestow a sword upon me. If I have the grace to end my own life in front of you, your highness, I bow in respect to your grace."

"Are you willing to serve This King?"

He raised his head in surprise and immediately kowtowed, "Gao Changfei, you vow to be loyal to the Prince, even if it costs you your life!"

He kowtowed three more times before straightening his body and saying, "The old prince saved my father and subordinate. When my father was alive, he always hated that he could not repay the debt. "Now that Prince Meng has shown mercy, this subordinate's life was bestowed upon me by the Old Prince and the King. If you have second thoughts, you are willing to suffer the pain of the Soul Devouring Crossbow!"

Only after hearing Gao Changfei's words did Feng Qingxiao think of this matter, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "This King remembers. Father once mentioned this. You can get up."

"Thank you, Prince."

He stood up and respectfully bowed his head to one side. "Your Highness, the Deputy Commander of the Dragon Guards, Gao Changfei, is already dead. From now on, I am only your subordinate."
