Xiu Heng and Duan Yunfei looked at each other, and only spoke after a long period of silence.
Although they were standing in the same tent, it was impossible for them to return to their original appearances.
There had been too many things between them over the years, and from the very beginning it had all been wrong.
Many years ago, Xiu Heng had already told Duan Yunfei that they weren't people of the same world. It was Duan Yunfei's willfulness that led to today's conclusion.
Everything that had happened today was a result of Duan Yunfei and could not be blamed on others. On the other hand, Mu Chuyang had lost his happiness for her.
Duan Yunfei let out a light sigh, kept the sword in her hand and spoke to Xiu Heng: "Since the crown prince isn't willing to hand over the antidote so casually, then how about we make a deal?"
Xiu Heng frowned slightly, and raised his head to look at Duan Yunfei. What does Thirteenth Princess mean by this? "
Duan Yunfei walked to the side and sat down, then poured herself another cup of tea. After thinking for a while, he said to Xiu Heng: "I naturally know that the Xiliang and the Golden Horde Kingdom have formed an alliance, but after the last battle, the Golden Horde Kingdom's strength has greatly decreased, and will no longer be a threat to the Jin Country."
"If Crown Prince Xiu Heng is willing, I am willing to give the ten cities that the Golden Horde Kingdom has given to him as a gift to the Xiliang. Does Crown Prince Xiu Heng feel it is good? " As Duan Yunfei spoke, she filled Xiu Heng's cup with tea and shook it towards him.
"Ten cities for one antidote." Xiu Heng smiled at me, "Thirteenth Princess is extremely intelligent, are you really willing to do this kind of thing?"
Duan Yunfei imitated Xiu Heng's actions and gently sipped the tea in the teacup. I was born stupid, and in order to save my future husband, I have to do this, so I am naturally not as scheming as Crown Prince Xiu Heng. "
"Wait." Xiu Heng hesitated for a moment, then asked Duan Yunfei with some suspicion: "Who do you think Young Prince Mu is?"
Duan Yunfei purposely acted like she was happy, and responded to Xiu Heng's words with a turn of her head.
"I forgot to tell Crown Prince Xiu Heng that I have already been betrothed to Mu Chuyang. Once the great army returns and we officially get married, I will remember the invitation letter from the Prince of Xiliang Palace."
When Xiu Heng heard Duan Yunfei's words, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger burning in his heart. He drank all of the tea in the teacup in one go, and desperately suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.
"If Crown Prince Xiu Heng agrees, then I would like to ask Crown Prince Xiu Heng to give me the antidote. I will definitely keep my promise and offer all ten cities to you." Duan Yunfei talked while slowly standing up.
"What if I don't agree?" Xiu Heng's expression was a little ugly, his deep eyes stared straight at Duan Yunfei.
"You won't." Duan Yunfei smiled at Xiu Heng. Crown Prince Xiu Heng has already said that to you, this is a business competition for money. Crown Prince Xiu Heng has always been interested in profit, so he would naturally not let go of this opportunity. "
"Crown Prince Xiu Heng should think it over. If you have made up your mind, you can send someone to tell me. I will come and contact you." Duan Yunfei held onto her sword tightly and walked out of the tent.
However, before she could get far, Xiu Heng said from behind: "Since Thirteenth Princess is here, why do you need to leave in such a hurry? If I catch the Thirteenth Princess, then what I got would probably not be as simple as ten cities. "
Xiu Heng said, and gave a look to the people in the camp to arrest Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei had already guessed that Xiu Heng would use this move, but she was not afraid at all. She took out her dart from her sleeve and shot it straight through the leader's throat. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a trace of a proud expression.
"Since Crown Prince Xiu Heng wants to capture me today, I want to see if the soldiers of the Xiliang's army have the ability to do so."
As Duan Yunfei was speaking, she took out the sharp sword in her hand, and while she was not paying attention, she hoisted Xiu Heng up in front of him.
"Thirteen, what are you doing?" Xiu Heng was a little angry, and berated Duan Yunfei in a stern voice.
He tried his best to struggle free, but he did not have the slightest bit of strength. Even Duan Yunfei was not able to do so.
Seeing that, Duan Yunfei held onto Xiu Heng's collar tightly, her mouth revealing a slight smile, and she spoke to proudly: "Treat him like that. Crown Prince Xiu Heng, you didn't think that you would be poisoned too, right? "
Xiu Heng was a little terrified as he asked Duan Yunfei anxiously, "Thirteen, what exactly did you do?"
"It's nothing, I just brought some of the poison in Young Prince Mu for you to taste." Duan Yunfei casually pinched Xiu Heng's neck. I wonder how Young Prince Mu feels about this? "
"How did you do it?" Xiu Heng looked at Duan Yunfei in disbelief. He had originally thought that this was just a pretense, that Duan Yunfei had come to swindle him to obtain the antidote.
However, it had become difficult for Xiu Heng to breathe, and he no longer had any strength left.
"That day, Crown Prince Xiu Heng shot the arrow filled with venom straight into the Young Prince Mu's left shoulder, causing him to be in so much pain that he couldn't sleep all day. I just took some of it, and just added it into Crown Prince Xiu Heng's tea, wanting to see how Crown Prince Xiu Heng would react." As Duan Yunfei spoke with Xiu Heng, he placed the sword in her hand in front of his throat and then tightly grabbed onto his collar.
The soldiers in the army camp were all holding swords and sabers, staring at Duan Yunfei like she was some sort of prey. However, Duan Yunfei was holding onto Xiu Heng's life, so the soldiers did not dare to move.
Xiu Heng still could not believe that Duan Yunfei would actually do something like this to him, and looked at Duan Yunfei with a face full of disbelief. Thirteen, you actually did such a thing? "
"Could it be that Crown Prince Xiu Heng has forgotten? This is all taught to me by you." Duan Yunfei laughed presumptuously at him. Compared to Prince Xiu Heng's ruthless heart, I'm not even one in ten thousand. Crown Prince Xiu Heng was not aware of it today, and never expected that he would fall for my trick. "
Xiu Heng became silent all of a sudden, and looked at Duan Yunfei without saying a word.
Duan Yunfei kept the sword in her hand tighter and tighter, until it was right next to Xiu Heng's skin. Crown Prince Xiu Heng still doesn't want to tell me where the antidote is? "
"Killing one thousand enemies while hurting yourself is a trick that Crown Prince Xiu Heng always used. I want to see, how long can you last today?" Duan Yunfei's mouth revealed a proud smile, and whispered into Xiu Heng's ear.
