Xiu Heng was suspicious in his heart, he quickly walked to the entrance of the camp and met the uninvited guest outside.
"Your Highness, she was the one who was screaming outside the door and insisted on meeting you." The soldier guarding the military camp said to Xiu Heng when he saw him walk out.
Xiu Heng nodded, he raised his head and looked, and could not help but be shocked.
It had been a long time since they last met, but Duan Yunfei seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It was probably because the weather was too cold, but her complexion was a little pale, and she didn't have her usual rosiness.
She was wearing a set of armor and holding a great sword in her hand, standing in front of him with a resolute look on her face.
Her name had already appeared in Xiu Heng's mind tens of thousands of times, but the moment she appeared, Xiu Heng couldn't help but be shocked. He opened his mouth to shout her name.
Who would have thought that it would actually be Duan Yunfei who spoke first.
"It's been a few days. Have my old friends been well?" Duan Yunfei expressionlessly looked at him, but the words he spoke were extremely piercing.
Xiu Heng was startled, but he still maintained a humble appearance, and bowed to Duan Yunfei. "Thanks to the concern of an old friend, I am fine."
As he spoke, he sized Duan Yunfei up once, then continued to look at her and asked: "I wonder why an old friend has suddenly come to visit today?"
Duan Yunfei did not reply, and instead looked towards the tent. Although I came uninvited, but since I have come, does Crown Prince Xiu Heng not want to invite me in to drink some tea and have a chat? "
Xiu Heng saw that Duan Yunfei's eyes were averting her gaze and she could not help but feel suspicious in her heart.
"I dare to come alone, but Crown Prince Xiu Heng doesn't dare to invite me in. This way, Xiliang would appear to be petty. " Duan Yunfei saw that Xiu Heng was hesitating a little as he purposely said this to him.
This move was indeed useful. Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Xiu Heng immediately smiled at her and said: "What are you talking about? Since we're old friends, why would I refuse to entertain you, please come in."
"Since that's the case, then I'll accept it." Duan Yunfei threw the lead rope to the guards in charge of the camp and walked inside the camp with a swagger.
Just as Duan Yunfei sat down in her tent, Xiu Heng had someone bring him some good tea. Thirteenth Princess is a rare guest, I will bring wine with my tea today and offer it to the princess. "
Duan Yunfei did not reject it. She accepted the cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
The wind outside was biting cold, but not a trace of cold could be felt in the room. Xiu Heng was always afraid of the cold.
Duan Yunfei sized him up, and the person in front of him seemed to suddenly become unfamiliar.
The Xiu Heng that she knew was gentle and elegant, and was a modest Young Master.
However, Xiu Heng who was sitting in front of her, was cautious and scheming against others. Every step he took was for his own benefits and never took the lives of others seriously.
"Thirteenth Princess is really bold. Now that the two nations are at the midst of a battle, the Thirteenth Princess actually dares to intrude into my Xiliang's military camp alone, and can even sit here and chat and laugh with me. " Xiu Heng took a sip of tea, and then slowly placed the teacup on the table, and raised his head to ask Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei did not reply. Instead, she glanced at Xiu Heng's table and unknowingly picked up the < Sun Force > manual which was placed at the top.
"If my memory is correct, I am the one who gave this book to Prince Xiu Heng." Duan Yunfei flipped it over and raised his head to look at Xiu Heng as he asked with a smile.
It had probably been too long since the book's pages had turned yellow, and some of the words were already unclear. Duan Yunfei couldn't even understand why Xiu Heng would be willing to keep this book by his side.
Xiu Heng lightly nodded her head, "Back then, thank you very much for taking care of me, Thirteenth Princess.
Back then, when Xiu Heng was still a proton, he was just a weak youth who did not say a single word. Everyone looked down on him and did not want to get along with him, and only Duan Yunfei was willing to get along with him, give him military strategy, and protect him thoroughly. Just as Xiu Heng had said, if not for Thirteenth Princess's protection in the past, there would not be the current Xiu Heng.
"Since that's the case," Duan Yunfei said as she raised her head to look at Xiu Heng, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised upwards. Is Crown Prince Xiu Heng willing to return the favor? "
Duan Yunfei actually came today because she had a request for him.
Xiu Heng glanced at Duan Yunfei, and couldn't help but have some suspicions in her heart, but on the surface, he still spoke politely: "Thirteenth Princess is too polite, and I do not dare to forget the kindness that I showed you back then. If Thirteenth Princess has any difficulties now, why not tell Xiu Heng that he will do his best to help Thirteenth Princess solve them."
"Since that's the case, then could Crown Prince Xiu Heng please bestow me the antidote." Duan Yunfei lifted her head, and her eyes met Xiu Heng's gaze.
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Xiu Heng finally understood. The reason the Jin Country army had not come out of seclusion these past few days was because the poison that had afflicted Mu Chuyang had yet to be treated. If that was the case, he was afraid that he was in danger now.
Xiu Heng pondered for a moment, made an awkward expression, then bowed towards Duan Yunfei and said: "Thirteenth Princess, it's not that I don't want to save Young Prince Mu, but this poison comes from the Western Regions, and isn't from my Xiliang. The poison concocting techniques of the Prince Mu's Mansion are unparalleled in the world, even they are unable to cure it, how can I cure it?"
Duan Yunfei lifted her head and looked at Xiu Heng without saying a word. She had already known that this would be the result. With how ruthless he was, how could he be willing to give her the antidote?
Xiu Heng purposely avoided Duan Yunfei's eyes, bent down, and bowed to her. Xiu Heng is deeply sorry that Young Prince Mu was poisoned that day, but what happened today was too late for me, I have to trouble Thirteenth Princess to come here for nothing. "
"Xiu Heng." Duan Yunfei called out to him, and took out the sword from her waist, pointing it straight at his throat, she spoke word by word: "You are truly unwilling to hand over the antidote?"
Duan Yunfei's eyes were red and swollen, but unexpectedly, Xiu Heng suddenly laughed. He gently pushed away Duan Yunfei's sword with his hand, and revealed a scoundrel's smile. Could it be that Thirteenth Princess has forgotten that this is the Xiliang and not the Jin Country? I am already the crown prince of the Xiliang and not the proton that had been entrusted to others in the past. Do you really think that you can scare me and make me hand over the cure? "
Xiu Heng revealed his true face so quickly, instantly angering Duan Yunfei, she waved the sharp sword in his hand and pierced towards Xiu Heng's left shoulder. Xiu Heng was unable to dodge in time, he casually took out a book from his table to block the attack. Duan Yunfei raised his sword and cut the < Sun Force > in half.
The somewhat yellowed pieces of paper all turned into fragments in an instant, as if they were all from the past, scattering down in front of Duan Yunfei and Xiu Heng.
