CH 279

Faced with Bai Lixin’s demand, what else could Xiahou Chun say?

Xiahou Chun, who had no temper when it came to Bai Lixin once again lifted his front lapel and knelt on one knee. He raised his hands to his chest and cupped his fist, “I was wrong!”

Only then did Bai Lixin raise his eyebrows and say, “Alright, arise and follow me to my study.”

Bai Lixin sat on the soft sedan chair, allowing Xiahou Chun to follow him, and then headed for the study.

When he arrived at the study, Bai Lixin dismissed the others and left only Xiahou Chun.

“General Xiahou, I want you to do something for me.”

“Your Highness, just give me the order.”

“A doctor calling himself Wang has just arrived at the Benevolent Prince’s residence. He gave my royal brother a pill that smells strange. He should still have some in stock, so can you break into the Benevolent Palace at night and steal one for me? ”

“Yes, but what will happen after stealing it? What does Your Highness intend to do?”

“You don’t have to worry about that; you just need to steal it for me. This is not a difficult task for General Xiahou, is it? After all, General Xiahou is very experienced. ”

Xiahou Chun: “I don’t understand what Your Highness means.”

“General Xiahou, where were you last night?”

“Naturally, I was in my residence.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes!”

Bullshit!

“General Xiahou, I’m not going to hide it from you. Yesterday, someone attacked my chambers at night. ” Bai Lixin sat on the cushion, his legs casually resting on each as he leaned back with his head propped up, lazily like a leopard.

Xiahou Chun’s throat rolled, “Oh, the same person who attacked last time? Is His Highness injured? ”

Bai Lixin sneered, “I don’t know if it counts as an injury, but that man served me quite well.”

“Well? How well? ”

Bai Lixin lowered his voice with a hint of temptation, “How well? Wouldn’t General Xiahou also like to try? ”

“This……this minister……” Xiahou Chun’s throat rolled twice more.

Bai Lixin chuckled and sat up from the soft cushion. He walked to the cabinet and opened a drawer. He pulled out a belt, a leather whip, and a leather eye patch, all of which were brand new.

Bai Lixin walked forward with a smile and the belt and whip in his hand, a gleam in his eyes.

Xiahou Chun looked at Bai Lixin’s treacherous smile and suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

“General Xiahou, for you to empathize with my feelings, it would be better for you to experience it for yourself, right? Although my safety and security are no longer your responsibility, the safety and security of Snow Kingdom still is, right?”

Bai Lixin lifted Xiahou Chun’s chin with the leather whip and said, “I mean no harm, so if I were to bind General Xiahou with a belt, General Xiahou would not resist, would he?”

The leather whip rubbed against his jaw, the slightly rough texture stirring back and forth against his jaw, and Xiahou Chun’s throat rolled twice more.

Bai Lixin laughed maliciously in his heart, “Speak up, General Xiahou.”

” Your Highness can do whatever he wants. I will never resist.”

“Good! Bravo! Worthy of being the strongest war god in my Snow Kingdom!” Bai Lixin laughed out loud, walked behind Xiahou Chun, and lowered his voice, “General Xiahou, kneel.”

Xiahou Chun: “…” Why do I have to kneel again?

Xiahou Chun knelt to the ground as he was told, and he felt a chill at his wrists. His wrists were tied in a loose knot behind his back by the belt. Bai Lixin then put the eye patch over Xiahou Chun’s head and tied a knot in the back. By this point, Xiahou Chun’s hands were tied behind him and a blindfold was placed over his eyes.

With the leather whip in hand, Bai Lixin ran it along Xiahou Chun’s forehead, down his nose and mouth, and finally to his heart.

With the handle of the whip against Xiahou Chun’s heart, Bai Lixin asked in a cold voice, “Say, who the hell are you, intruding into a prince’s bedchamber at night, showing great disrespect to the prince. Are you trying to rebel?

Xiahou Chun could not see Bai Lixin and could only hear his voice echo in his ears. The leather eye patch did not transmit light, and there was only darkness before his eyes. His body became more sensitive because his vision had been blocked.

Bai Lixin’s leather whip ground a few times at his heart, and with a stroke of his hand, it came to one of his two points.

As if he hadn’t noticed that he had touched the sensitive spots, Bai Lixin rubbed the whip there a few more times before sliding it down to his lower abdomen, “Eh? General Xiahou, you should say something.”

Xiahou Chun’s throat rolled and he used his inner strength to suppress the clamour in his lower abdomen and said, coldly and stiffly, “What is Your Majesty’s intention in humiliating me like this? I don’t understand what Your Highness is talking about! ”

“Heh, a dead duck with a stiff tongue!” Bai Lixin took back the leather whip and fiercely threw it at Xiahou Chun’s body twice. The whip made two crisp and loud “pa!” sounds on Xiahou Chun’s body, but it did not even cut his clothes.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the tips of the two strokes grazed the tip of Xiahou Chun’s lower abdomen in a seemingly unintentional manner.

Xiahou Jun groaned and once again used his inner strength to suppress the agitation in his lower abdomen.

Bai Lixin scanned Xiahou Chun’s expression and was embarrassed in his heart.

This guy even gained pleasure from this! He is a pervert, ah.

“What, General Xiahou still knows pain?” Bai Lixin said as he whipped a few more times, this time going over Xiahou Chun’s unspeakable spot.

Xiahou Chun’s body tensed up. He felt the belt behind him start to crumble and loosen, so he quickly slumped to the ground and fell with his back to the ground.

“I was really at my house. Your highness said I should empathize, so did your highness suffer from this kind of inhumane torture last night? Damn it, who is the villain that dared to insult His Highness like this? I will capture this person for His Majesty to set the court straight!”

Pretend, continue to pretend.

Seeing that Xiahou Chun refused to admit that he was Dijia, Bai Lixin angrily whipped Xiahou Chun twice more, before taking two deep breaths to calm his anger and saying, “Then I am grateful to General Xiahou. Only you and I are aware of the matter. What that evil beast did to me is too unspeakable. If I hear any rumours outside, General Xiahou, it will be on your head. All right, get up.”

Bai Lixin tossed the leather whip aside and sat lazily on the soft cushion again, watching Xiahou Chun slowly stand up.

Xiahou Chun stood blindfolded for a while. Hearing no movement, he said out loud. “Your Highness, you have not yet untied this servant.”

“Why are you pretending? Can’t you already break the belt yourself? Hurry up and untie yourself and roll. ” Bai Lixin looked at the person who intended to keep pretending and was furious.

Xiahou Chun heard Bai Lixin’s words, and he pulled his arms outward, breaking the belt and leisurely removing the blindfold.

Grasping the belt and blindfold in his hands, Xiahou Chun asked, “Your Highness, what should I do with these?”

Bai Lixin took one look at the belt that had disintegrated into two pieces and waved his hand in disgust, “Leave the leather whip, throw the rest away.”

Xiahou Chun slowly walked out of the palace and sat cross-legged in a waiting carriage.

Xiahou Chun took a black cloth from his arms and placed it on the tip of his nose, sniffing intoxicatingly. His originally flat lower abdomen clamoured to stand up due to the removal of his inner strength. The black fabric lovingly swept across his handsome face, resting on his eyes.

The black cloth covered his eyes and the sunlight came through it, blurring what little of the scene outside could be seen.

The sound of Bai Lixin’s moaning and cries that night came to mind; the young man writhing in the messy bed; and Xiahou Chun’s lower abdomen swelled up a few more points, protruding even more.

Xiahou Chun enjoyed the unbearable pleasure as he let it swell, refusing to let it dissipate.

The carriage slowed down and finally came to a halt.

The boy outside said respectfully, “Master, we have arrived at the General’s residence.”

Xiahou Chun let out a long sigh and raised his voice, “Take the back door and drive the carriage straight in.”

The boy got the order and re-drove the carriage to the back, pulling it all the way to Xiahou Chun’s residence before saying again, “Master, we have arrived in front of your compound.”

Xiahou Chun carefully put away the black cloth and slowly stepped down from the carriage.

The boy lowered his head, not daring to directly look at Xiahou Chun, but his eyes coincidentally fell on a certain huge object that topped out his front flap.

The boy’s cheeks flushed red as he gulped.

No wonder the general wanted to enter through the back door today; it was …… such a moment!

Xiahou Chun stepped down from the carriage and glanced at the boy, “Drive the carriage to the stables. Do not come to me if there is no important business. ”

The servant trembled and replied, “Yes, yes, I know.”

Xiahou Chun straightened up and walked slowly and leisurely back to his room.

……

In the night, Bai Lixin had fallen into a deep sleep when a figure drifted in again.

Bai Lixin was angry. Again?

He was lying in bed, planning not to let the man get the better of him this time when a killing intent struck him. Bai Lixin’s heart thumped, and he rolled in the large bed, dodging the cold, biting light.

The man was stunned when he missed. Seeing this, Bai Lixin hurriedly grabbed the blanket and put it over the man’s head before running away from him. He rushed towards the door, “Someone! There’s an assassin!!!”

No sooner had Bai Lixin shouted than he felt a tug on his ankle and his body fell to the ground.

Outside, the lights were bright, the voices were noisy, and footsteps came one after another.

“Your Highness! Are you in there, Your Highness?”

Bai Lixin picked up a wooden chair within reach and smashed it against the assassin, and once again shouted, “Come in, there is an assassin!”

The door opened and a cadre of soldiers rushed in. The chair had delayed the assassin’s movement, and Bai Lixin kicked back hard with his unrestrained foot, sending the assassin sprawling to the ground.

After rolling and crawling to the soldiers’ protective circle, Bai Lixin shouted, “Keep him alive!”

The assassin knew the situation was over when Bai Lixin was saved.

There was an abrupt crunch of something being bitten down, and the assassin fell to the ground lifelessly.

The soldier at the head of the group stepped forward to take a look, then turned and knelt on the ground and said, “Your Highness, this man is dead.”

Damn!

……

The next day, before dawn, Xiahou Chun rushed into the palace in a frenzy and arrived at the Crown prince’s bedchamber.

At this time, many people had gathered in the Crown Prince’s chambers. Emperor Shengyuan, the Empress, the patrolling guards, and the chief guards were all gathered in the chambers.

Xiahou Chun’s heart, which had been raised on the way, fell back into his chest when he saw that Bai Lixin was alive…

The corpse was still lying on the ground, so Xiahou Chun took three steps forward and was about to kneel and salute when Emperor Shengyuan said, “Please don’t salute, General Xiahou. Xin’er insisted on leaving the corpse behind because he wanted you to see what clues you could see from it.”

Xiahou Chun looked at Bai Lixin and saw him nodding at him, so he said, “I will take a look at the assassin.”

The assassin wore a night suit; his hair was tied up high, his skin was tanned, and his eyes were tightly closed.

After looking around the assassin’s body, the assassin was very clean and did not have any tattoos that represented an organization.

After looking around without a clue, Xiahou Chun drew his sword and scraped the assassin’s head a few times.

Xiahou Chun’s sword was very sharp, and he had shaved half of the assassin’s hair off with just a few strokes. Although the man’s skin was tanned, the skin under his hair was extremely fair. Xiahou Chun opened the assassin’s mouth again to look at his teeth.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. This man is not from our Snow Kingdom. The Snow Kingdom has snow all year round, yet he is wearing thick clothes that can shield him from getting sunburned. This man’s body is tanned, but his scalp is extremely white. He had been exposed to the sun for many years and had become tanned because of that and his head is fair because he wears a hat to shield his head from the sun. In addition, we in the Snow Kingdon have extremely healthy white teeth and skin thanks to the practical rain that falls from the sky all year round. If you look at this man, his teeth are uneven and dark yellow and black. That is because he takes in water containing a lot of mud and sand.”

Emperor Shengyuan frowned, “Are you saying… that this person is from the Kalou Kingdom in the desert?!”

“Eight or nine is not far from ten, but I cannot be sure. The only thing I am sure of is that this person comes from the desert. ”

Bai Lixin looked at the corpse and said in a deep voice: “If I hadn’t been awake last night, he would have killed me.”

Xiahou Chun’s heart tightened and he looked at the assassin with killing intent in his eyes.

“Please allow me to enter the palace to be by Your Highness’s side day and night! I dare to give my life as a guarantee that when I am there, I will do my utmost to protect His Royal Highness! ”

Emperor Shengyuan nodded, “Very well.”

Emperor Shengyuan still had court affairs to attend to, so he left after a while, leaving the scene to Xiahou Chun.

The Empress covered her mouth and patted her chest in fear. Bai Lixin wore out his lips soothing her before he could send the Empress away. The corpse was no longer useful, so Xiahou Chun ordered his men to take the body down, dismember it, and feed it to the dogs.

He had been afraid Bai Lixin would be in grief because it was his brother whom he had left alive. But to his surprise, Bai Liwu had intensified his actions and colluded with the Kalou Kingdom in advance, intending to kill Bai Lixin.

Leaving the palace maid to clean the room, Bai Lixin said, “General Xiahou, let’s go next door to talk.”

Next door was the bed-chamber where Xiahou Chun had lived for two months.

Xiahou Chun froze for a moment when he walked into the room.

Everything was still in the same place as he had left it, and had not been moved at all.

Bai Lixin closed the secret door and sat down at the coffee table. “Did you get anything last night?”

Xiahou Chun nodded and pulled out a small wooden box from his sleeve pocket. He pushed it in front of Bai Lixin and said, “This is the miracle pill of the man who called himself Doctor Wang. I saw that he had several boxes in his medicine chest, so I stole one out. ”

“Would it be discovered?”

“I put a pill in replacement. It should not be easily discovered.”

“Pill? What kind of pill?”

“It’s made of croton and is designed to cure constipation.”

Bai Lixin: “…”

A medicinal scent came out when he opened the wooden box.

Bai Lixin took out the pill and placed it on the tip of his nose. He then detected a strange fragrance hidden underneath the medicinal scent.

“This is spiked with ecstasy grass.” Bai Lixin put down the pill and said in a deep voice, “I’ll ask Father to let you send someone to storm the Benevolent Palace immediately, capture Doctor Wang, and arrest him with the stolen goods.”

Xiahou Chun nodded, “Okay!”

Bai Lixin consulted the Emperor as quickly as possible. Emperor Shengyuan only hesitated for a moment before ordering Xiahou Chun to capture Doctor Wang alive while ensuring Bai Liwu’s safety.

Xiahou Chun and Bai Lixin travelled together. Xiahou Chun alone was enough to capture Doctor Wang.

Xiahou Chun and Bai Lixin entered the Benevolent Palace under the name of visiting. Bai Liwu had just taken the pill when they entered. Bai Lixin only saw an open wooden box on the coffee table, while not far away was Doctor Wang’s medicine box.

Bai Lixin looked at the blissful expression on Bai Liwu’s face and hated that iron was not steel.
