Chapter 561: Wooing and Temptation
Lin Qingshuang looked at the luxurious carriage carrying the crown prince and the crown princess, felt sorry for Zhou Sisi for no reason, and said secretly: "Crown princess, you are really blinded by foreign objects! You should have waited for Ye Heng, he is not perfect, but he is worth your wait, you should wait for him to go back to you! But you left Xiangyunzhuang and abandoned this feeling." ”
While Lin Qingshuang felt sorry for Zhou Sisi, she was also glad that she had grasped her own happiness. Maybe it's because of Xi Shi in her lover's eyes, in her opinion, Ye Heng is her most ideal partner. Before the two participated in the Continental Elite Competition, Lin Qingshuang decisively took Ye Heng in order to refuse the Chen family's proposal, which in her opinion was one of the wisest choices she made.
The team set off quickly, and the old owner of Zhou came to Ye Heng's side and said to Ye Heng: "Ye Heng, thank you really for your help this time, otherwise my old life may be left here." ”
"Where does the old owner say, Ji people have their own natural appearance, even if I don't make a move, you can turn evil into good fortune. Ye Heng smiled, "By the way, how are you recovering from your injuries?"
"My injury is not a big deal, it's just a ......," the old owner of Zhou stopped talking.
"If you have anything to say, do you and I still need to see each other?" Ye Heng said boldly.
"I'm just worried about Sisi! This time I came to the imperial capital because I was worried about her safety, but the unknown enemy is so powerful, I thought that with my old bones, I could protect her well, and you can see the result. I suddenly wanted to return to Xiangyunzhuang, not only was I not used to living here, but it seemed that it was useless to stay. Zhou Laozhuang said excitedly.
"Do you want me to protect Sisi?" Ye Heng asked directly.
Old Zhou shook his head and said, "The battle for the throne is too deep, I don't want to involve you in it." I'm just complaining to you, how can I really leave Sisi and return to Fengxin Prefecture? I guess you may leave the imperial capital in the near future, and you will probably go to Jinyang Prefecture, right?"
"Well, I want to sort out the affairs of the Blade Pavilion, there has been a lot of trouble recently, and I have to let the Blade Pavilion prepare in advance. Ye Heng said without concealment.
Old Master Zhou nodded and said: "Others don't know the strength of the Fengbing Pavilion, I still don't know if I have cooperated with you for so long?" You don't have to worry too much, the Fengbing Pavilion is probably even stronger than your similarity, and when the new Dragon Gate List is released, the name of the Fengbing Pavilion will definitely be among them!"
"Then what are you looking for me?" Ye Heng asked curiously.
"There is a branch of Xiangyunzhuang in Changye City, I want you to help me pass a word, you tell the people of the branch, let them tell Zhou Wen, if I can't return to Xiangyunzhuang before the New Year's Festival, let him take over as the owner, this is a letter I wrote in advance, you can transfer it to the branch. Old Master Zhou sent a letter to Ye Heng and said.
Ye Heng took it and asked, "Old farmer, are you hiding something from me?"
Old Zhou shook his head and said: "I just feel that the crown prince is likely to lose in the battle for the throne, if someone takes the opportunity to threaten Xiangyunzhuang with my or Sisi's life, I am afraid that the second child will do stupid things and give away our life's work to others." ”
Ye Heng immediately understood the intention of Old Master Zhou, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the letter." If you feel that something is wrong, you must come to the Hero Academy for help, and I will arrange for someone here to provide maximum support. ”
"Thank you so much!" Old Master Zhou did not refuse, he already had a premonition that the water in the imperial capital was too deep, now was not the time to be reckless, with the help of the Hero Martial Academy, at least he could have more power to ensure Zhou Sisi's safety.
The God of War Regiment escorted the prince to the prince's mansion smoothly, and the prince's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach, and he immediately ordered someone to prepare a large amount of silver taels to thank the God of War regiment, but after listening to the prince's orders, the housekeeper stood motionless in place very embarrassed.
"Why, didn't you hear what this king said? This king has only been away from the prince's mansion for a few days, and what this king said will not work?" said the prince with a gloomy face, very unhappy.
The butler shook his head desperately, hurriedly approached the prince, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Prince, there are not so many belongings in the house, we really can't take them out!"
"What? I can't even take out this little bit of silver?" said the prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, the expenses in the house have been too great recently, and our house has long been unable to make ends meet, if it weren't for the old slave who sold some literary and exotic treasures on his own initiative, I'm afraid it would be difficult to support you until you come back smoothly! "The chief steward poured out the bitter waterway.
"Then what do you want this king to do? If you want this king, the reward has already been spoken, you must not let this king break his word!" said the prince angrily.
"Your Highness, how about we exchange the bounty for something else?" the butler suggested.
"Didn't you say that the house was about to be opened, and what else could we give them?" said the prince irritably.
"If you can't give them, you can make them official, such as the Praetorian Guard! As long as they accept this title, they must be at your disposal, otherwise this title can only be an empty shell, and if they want to make this title a reality, they must assist you in ascending to the throne, what do you think of this idea?" the butler advised. 77 eBooks
Li He's eyes immediately lit up, obviously impressed by the idea. He had long felt that his strength was not strong enough, so he repeatedly wooed the Hero Martial Academy, but a group of old stubborn people led by Elder Wu did not enter, and never agreed to his request. If he can use this to pull the Ares into his carriage, not only can he save a lot of money, but also get a strong army, why not?
So, Li He turned around with a smile on his face, walked straight to Ye Heng, and smiled at Ye Heng: "Captain Ye, thank you for the protection of the God of War Regiment all the way, if it weren't for you, I think it would be difficult for this king to return to the Prince's Mansion so smoothly." ”
Ye Heng stared at Li He curiously, and secretly said Could it be that he had also discovered those top masters who emitted a faint aura? But how high is Li He's cultivation, how could he find those people? Could it be that he is a master who hides deeply? However, Ye Heng can see through Li He's strength at a glance, and he doesn't think he has such ability.
"The prince is serious, but in fact, we didn't do much. Now that the person has been delivered, then we will leave!" Ye Heng said humbly.
"How can this king let you work hard in vain? In this way, this king has appointed your God of War Regiment as the Praetorian Guard for the Protector of the Country, and is directly responsible to this king, and in the future, this king will ascend the throne and give you higher honor and greater power, what do you think?" the prince induced.
"Thank you for the prince's kindness, but our God of War Regiment is only a cadet soldier of the Hero Martial Academy, and we have no right to accept such a high salary. In this way, if you really have this intention, discuss it with Elder Wu later. Ye Heng kicked the ball back to the prince and replied very cautiously, "If the prince has nothing else to do, then we will return to the martial arts academy to resume our lives."
"Why do you have to listen to the arrangements of the Martial Academy? You promise the same! If you are afraid that the Hero Martial Academy will embarrass you, then you will graduate early, what I said still counts, as soon as you leave the Martial Academy, I will immediately arrange for you to serve as the Praetorian Guard!" the prince continued to lure.
"I'm sorry, I personally don't have the right to make decisions on behalf of all the team members, you should discuss this matter with the Martial Academy!Since the prince has returned to the mansion, then we will leave!" Ye Heng was unwilling to continue to entangle with the prince, and immediately issued an order to the God of War Regiment, turning around and returning to the Hero Martial Academy.
"I really don't know how to lift!" Seeing the God of War Regiment withdraw under the leadership of Ye Heng, the butler of the Prince's Mansion came to the prince's side and said dissatisfied.
"Toast and don't eat sin wine, one day in the future, this king will make you regret it!" the prince stared at Ye Heng's back and said viciously.
Ye Heng looked back as if he had a feeling, and Li He immediately restrained his hostility and replaced it with an approachable smile. Ye Heng didn't look at him, and saluted at the old owner Zhou who was guarding Zhou Sisi's side, and then urged the horse away.
"How unreasonable!" Prince Li He was completely enraged by Ye Heng's ignorance, but he could only be angry in the Prince's Mansion, and he didn't dare to go directly to Ye Heng for trouble with a few dares, so he could only enter the Prince's Mansion in a stupid manner.
Several masters hiding in the tall building in the distance saw the prince enter the mansion, exchanged glances with each other, and retreated one after another.
Only then did the old owner of Zhou walk into the courtyard from behind the gate of the Prince's Mansion, looking at the tall building where the masters were just now, and his eyes were fascinated.
It didn't take long for Zhou Sisi to come to the owner of Zhou Zhuang, and the old owner said solemnly: "Sisi, this time I really have to thank Ye Heng, if it wasn't for him escorting us, we would probably encounter an ambush again, they failed last time, and if we do it again this time, we are really in a catastrophe!"
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to let you follow me and be scared!" Zhou Sisi said guiltily.
"Silly granddaughter, grandpa has spent most of his life licking blood on his knife, what is there to be afraid of? Grandpa is worried about you! The identity of the crown princess seems to be noble, once Li He loses power, then you will have to follow the bad luck, as the saying goes, the phoenix that falls into the grass is not as good as a chicken, and the blessing is not enjoyed for a few days, but you have to take a lifetime of happiness, grandpa is sorry for you!" said the old farmer with emotion.
"Grandpa, it's too late to say anything now, you can only take one step at a time. I came to you just to discuss something with you, so let's go in and talk about it. Zhou Sisi's eyes darkened, and he quickly returned to his natural nature, and said calmly to the old owner of Zhou.
The old owner of Zhou nodded silently, he didn't want Zhou Sisi to sink here, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to help Zhou Sisi get out of the predicament, even if he lost his life because of it!
Not long after Ye Heng led the God of War Regiment out, he ordered the team to continue to march towards the Hero Martial Academy, while he himself broke away from the team, identified the direction, and flew away.
Along the way, several masters who monitored the prince were retreating, and their actions were very careful, passing through the streets and alleys from time to time, even changing carriages three times on the way, and entering two deep mansions, and quietly slipping away through the back door after disguise, such actions were really very careful, and it was impossible to follow them. However, just as they were about to part ways, a figure blocked in front of them.
"Several, leaving in such a hurry, where are you going?" The person who asked the question was naturally Ye Heng, when he found out that someone had been secretly following them on the way to escort the prince, he quietly locked on them, if it was about the tracking technique, except for the Red Flame Wolf King, Ye Heng really hadn't served anyone, if they wanted to disappear under his tracking, these people thought that they had been very careful to cover up Xingzang, but it was still very insufficient!
"Ye Heng, how did you find us?" someone among those people recognized Ye Heng and asked in surprise.
"You don't have to care how I found you, you just need to tell me where the Lord of Shadows is hiding!" Ye Heng said coldly.
"You want us to betray the Shadow Master, you are dreaming!" one of them said forcefully.
