After sending Bai Liwu off, a figure emerged from the darkness and asked coldly, “That man is the point you said you’ll cut through in?”

Huang Yuanwei snorted coldly, “He is not bad. He is ambitious and has the makings of a rebel. ”

“But he also said that when it comes to the moment of crisis, he will sacrifice his small self to protect the big picture.”

“Heh, I’ve seen a lot of people like that. Before something happens, they are all heroic but become so selfish and cunning when they are desperate, even disowning their relatives. Don’t worry, just go back and report to the king. Give me five months, and I will make the Snow Kingdom open its gates to welcome my army! ”

“Okay! Commander Huang will have become the greatest general under one person and above all others in my Kalou Kingdom!”

It was already late evening when Bai Lixin returned. He burped and asked Xiahou Chun, “General Xiahou, the food at Xinghai House is not bad, right?”

“It’s not bad,” Xiahou Chun said, his face slightly flushed and a white mist coming from his mouth.

“General Xiahou has drunk a lot of wine today.”

“The smell of wine is intoxicating, so I just drank a little.”

“Ha, does General Xiahou know who the owner of the table I sent the wine to is?”

Xiahou Chun’s eyes twinkled for a moment, and he shook his head gently, “No. Could it be that His Highness did not give him the wine on a whim? ”

“You don’t know him, but I do. He is the third prince of the Great Yao Kingdom, Li Chige.”

“He is the prince of the Great Yao Kingdom? How does His Second Highness know that? What is this Prince Li Chige doing sneaking into our Snow Kingdom? ”

“He probably took a fancy to one of the girls in our Snow Kingdom. Prince Li Chige is suave and elegant, and his love affairs are widely spread. With such a nature, what else could it be if not for a girl?”

Bai Lixin winked at Xiahou Chun, his smiling eyes like two crescents.

Xiahou Chun gulped, “For example, that number one beauty of the Snow Kingdom, Xu Ying?”

Bai Lixin swept Xiahou Chun a glance and suddenly recalled a scene he had once seen when he was crossing over. In the scene, a man in the shape of Xiahou Chun had pressed Bai Liwu underneath him and it did not appear to be fake.

Could it be that, despite being a loyal and kind-hearted minister, Xiahou Chun was unable to resist the beauty after all? So he compromised for the sake of Bai Liwu?

How could that be?

I have to dispel this guy’s unrealistic thoughts and wake up Xiahou Chun properly. There will be a tough battle between him and Bai Liwu. If Xiahou Chun’s heart feels compassionate and turns against him, wouldn’t it be terrible?

Such variables must not be allowed.

For the next three days, Bai Lixin went to the Xinghai House every day to sit and laugh with the disguised Prince Li Chige. On the fifth day, Li Chige finally invited Bai Lixin into his room and sent everyone else out, including Xiahou Chun.

The two talked from morning to afternoon, and even lunch was brought to the room by the junior scholar.

Only when they saw the sun sinking in the west did the door of the room creak open and the two men pushed their way out.

Prince Li Chige looked solemn, but Bai Lixin calmly put his hands together and made a bow before leading Xiahou Chun away.

Several secret guards looked at their master with a wary expression. Prince Li Chige swept the guards a glance and made a silent gesture, “It’s nothing, I just made a close friend. Let’s go.”

The guards glanced at each other and saw Prince Li Chige return to the room and close the door.

Prince Li Chige sat down at the tea-table. He casually picked up a cup of tea and poured it down in one gulp, then suddenly laughed out loud after placing the cup on the table. “How exciting!”

Bai Lixin hummed a little tune, the corners of his lips slightly hooked up in a very pleasant manner.

“Your Highness is very happy? What did you do in Prince Li Chige’s room just now? ” Xiahou Chun was curious and asked in a loud voice.

Bai Lixin licked his lips and his voice rose a little, “Of course, I did something that all men long for.”

Xiahou Chun’s heart thumped. This little guy couldn’t have mistaken Li Chige for him and did something strange, right?

Heh! That guy may be good looking, but you have to look at the essence through the phenomenon. You can’t take every handsome man as me!

The more Xiahou Chun thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his teeth clenched.

Bai Lixin looked up to the sky and let out a loud laugh, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a good time playing chess!”

“Play…playing chess?” Xiahou Chun’s gnashing teeth almost bit into his tongue in one stroke.

“Prince Li Chige loves to play chess and often makes friends through chess. I used this to tell him a story. If he is Prince Li Chige, he should be able to understand it.”

“What story?”

“A story about the death of lips and teeth.” Bai Lixin chuckled and put his hands back behind his back, “I’m a little tired, General. What would you like to eat for dinner? I am treating you today. ”

“I will be fine with whatever His Highness eats.”

Bai Lixin clasped his hands together and said, “In that case, we will go and see what the palace has prepared, and I will treat you to whatever you want to eat.”

Xiahou Chun：”……” Haha, you must have known I would say that, so you said something about treating me, right?

The two were full of wine and food. Bai Lixin propped his head up and looked at Xiahou Chun, who was sitting straight as a statue, as usual, saying, “General Xiahou likes men?”

Xiahou Chun was drinking tea when he suddenly heard Bai Lixin’s unspoken words. He coughed, “What?”

“General Xiahou is twenty-seven years old, young and talented. Countless women like you, but General Xiahou is still all alone. So I am thinking, does General Xiahou have a love for a dragon and a sun? ”

Xiahou Chun coughed dryly, “Your Highness seems to be quite concerned about my affairs recently.”

“Naturally! To put it seriously, General Xiahou is a pillar of the state, and to put it more lightly, he has been protecting me day and night these days. Shouldn’t I be concerned about General Xiahou, both in public and in private? ”

“The person I seek is indeed out of reach, but whether it is the love of the dragon and the sun or not, I would not know.”

Bai Lixin nodded. Not all bent men would admit to being gay. They would say, “no, I don’t like men; it’s just that the one I like happens to be a man.” Xiahou Chun must be the same. He didn’t like men and just happened to like Bai Liwu, who was a man.

Bai Lixin gave a dark laugh and said, “Do I know the person General Xiahou said was unattainable?”

“This…please forgive me for not commenting.”

“Well, you can at least tell me what you like about that man that you would leave a whole great forest behind for just that one tree, right?”

“He is strong, brave, resilient, and never gives up. Although his true character is elusive, it always appealed to me deeply no matter which character he had; in short, in my eyes, he was perfect in everything. ” Xiahou Chun said without thinking twice, his eyes firmly fixed on Bai Lixin’s and unable to turn his eyes away, “Most of all, whenever I think of him, my heart surges and I can’t wait to do whatever I want to him.”

Bai Lixin couldn’t help but tremble. What a possessive tone, and what does it mean to do whatever you want? Xiahou Chun, how many times have you masturbated to Bai Liwu in the night? Pervert!

That is the kind of person who can easily turns against others!

But while the Bai Liwu that I remember was indeed a perfect and flawless character, is his personality elusive? Yes, Bai Liwu has been wearing a mask for so many years. What else is it if not an unpredictable character?

After giving Xiahou Chun a sidelong glance, Bai Lixin secretly took note of Xiahou Chun’s description of Bai Liwu’s merits.

“Then I’ll take the liberty of asking one last question, General Xiahou.”

“What?”

“How does the man General Xiahou has in mind compare to my Royal Brother?”

“The Grand Prince?” Xiahou Chun snorted, “It’s simply a world apart; there’s no comparison.”

Huh? Bai Lixin stopped in his tracks and looked at Xiahou Chun. “He’s not comparable? Are you sure? ”

“The person I have my eye on is unique.”

Bai Lixin’s heart thumped.

The next day, Bai Lixin once again took Xiahou Chun out of the palace to the Xinghai House to look for Prince Li Chige of the Great Yao Kingdom, but he got an answer that he had left in the night, leaving only a secret guard waiting.

When the secret guard saw that the man had come again as his master expected, he handed Bai Lixin a letter he had been instructed to deliver and then went after the army.

Bai Lixin took the letter and did not rush to open it.

It was only when he returned to the palace that Bai Lixin drew the letter from his arms and shook it at Xiahou Chun, “General Xiahou, guess what is in this letter?”

“I don’t know.”

“Heh, do you not know or do you not say?” Slanting a glance at Xiahou Chun, “Inside this is an endless treasure.”

“Although crystal ice crystals are a treasure unique to our Snow Kingdom, this kind of treasure, which has been mined over the years, will one day gradually lose value due to over-exploitation. By then, the very foundation on which our Snow Kingdom relies for survival will be broken, and we will be in a passive situation. So using crystals as a channel to obtain things from other countries is not desirable. ”

“What should we do then?”

“Although our Snow Kingdom is only known for its crystal ice crystals, the world does not know that the wine we make is also unique in the world! The Snow Kingdom lives high in the mountains, and the wine is made from the snow. The snow in our kingdom is sweet and delicious, so the wine is even more delicious. ”

Xiahou Chun suddenly realized, “That’s why Your Highness kept giving Prince Li Chige wine these days. But wine is not worth more than ice crystals, and too low a return will still have an impact on the Snow Kingdom. ”

Bai Lixin looked at the sky and said, “The weather has just turned warm. In another two months, it will be the onset of the great cold again ……” He remembered that something had happened at that time, and his father was furious.

For many years, Huang had hired workers to collect ice crystals in the mountains and forests, causing damage to the dragon veins. In that year of great cold, heavy snow fell. The damaged veins and heavy snow eventually caused a landslide, and countless workers were crushed in the caves that collapsed. It greatly damaged the economy of the Snow Kingdom.

His father was furious, and Bai Liwu was given the responsibility of investigating the matter. Bai Liwu pushed one of Huang Yuanwei’s men to be the scapegoat to save the latter at that time.
