  Chapter 540 The Vicious Prince Xie

  Luyan Port, which was supposed to be peaceful and festive, was full of murder tonight, with soldiers running around inside and outside the city.

When the sergeants led by Chu Nanzhi rushed to the Li family compound thirty li away from the north of the city, Qi Jiang heard the news and asked the guards in Zhuangzi to directly fight with Chen Chuan's men and horses, while he himself escaped through the back door.

  Chen Chuan is really a brave general who is good at fighting. It only took a stick of incense to subdue hundreds of guards in the whole Zhuangzi, only losing five sergeants.

   Searched all over Zhuangzi, found nearly ten catties of arsenic, and a lot of gold, silver and jade.

  Under the bright torchlight, Chu Nanzhi looked around at the group of restrained minions, and asked sharply, "Who is Qi Jiang?"

  The crowd waited and pondered for a long time before someone answered in a low voice: "Qi Lao Liu has escaped."

   "Escaped?"

  Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt lost, and when he was about to interrogate him again, he heard a loud voice in his ears: "Don't worry, he can't escape."

  Hearing the voice was very familiar, Chu Nanzhi turned his head to look, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure walking straight towards him.

   Long time no see, that ruffian look is still the same as before.

   "Dengtuzi."

  Chu Nanzhi was inexplicably excited.

   "Little Zhizhi, you are really bold, bringing so few people here to arrest so many bandits."

  Xie Jingchen casually led the people forward, and looked at her kindly.

   "Where did the madman come from, how dare to disrespect the princess."

  Chen Chuan was so angry that he pointed the handle of the knife directly.

   "Lieutenant Chen, don't be rude, this is a friend of mine."

  Chu Nanzhi also couldn't laugh or cry, he was still so nervous on this occasion.

  Xie Jingchen saw that the brutish man put the knife back, so he waved to the people behind him, and then saw a group of guards in plain clothes escorting more than ten people up.

  Chu Nanzhi took a closer look, and found that all the people being escorted were missing arms and legs, and none of them were healthy.

   "I helped you get rid of dozens of minions. I heard that the rest of them were the ones who assassinated your country's envoy outside the city this morning. I brought them here for you."

Xie Jingchen smiled lightly at Chen Chuan, who was still full of vigilance, and continued to face Chu Nanzhi, sighing softly in his heart: "I heard that Princess Pingning and King Pingning held a banquet today to celebrate their reunion. Take it as my congratulatory gift."

   "You, why did you suddenly come to Luyan Port again?"

  Chu Nanzhi now knows that he is a member of the Xie family from Baiyu, and his status must be noble. Now that the two countries are confronting each other, and the war is about to break out, she does not want this disciple to appear in the Dahe Empire in a fair manner.

Before Xie Jingchen could answer in person, a middle-aged man in a brown brocade coat beside him said first: "My Highness has heard about everything that happened in the city as soon as he arrived at the Luyan Harbor Post House, and also learned that Princess Pingning personally He was worried about taking people out of the city to arrest the thief, so he led me out of the city to help the princess out of the siege."

  Deng Tuzi was so eager, Lin Jinxiao might be angry again when he heard about it, Chu Nanzhi said with a stiff face and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for worrying too much, I'm leading all the powerful generals in the army, so what could go wrong."

   After a moment of silence, she stared at Xie Jingchen who was full of smiles, and asked hesitantly: "At the beginning, I thought His Highness was extraordinary, and I don't know which Highness it is from the Baiyu Ten Clan?"

   "Naturally, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  The middle-aged man was a little upset, his nephew had just arrived at Luyan Port, and she was so ungrateful for his nephew who had worked so hard to save her.

   "Sixth uncle, you accompany Shiyao back to the post house first, and I will **** Princess Pingning to the Pingning Palace, and I will meet you at the post house again."

  Xie Jingchen was already impatient with Xie Liushu's noise, and was anxious to send him away.

  Uncle Sixth Xie knew that his nephew was hopeless, so he rolled his eyes at Chu Nanzhi coldly, then turned around angrily and left.

Following his leaving back, Chu Nanzhi could clearly see a graceful woman in white clothes sitting on top of a white horse in the distance, wearing a thin black cloak, she looked a little a little bit in the night wind. lonely.

  The eyes of the two intertwined inadvertently, and the woman just looked at Chu Nanzhi slightly, then turned around and left while drinking lightly on the horse.

"This time I was ordered to come here to discuss important diplomatic relations between the two countries. I happened to be transiting at Luyan Port, and I heard about the riots in the city, so I stopped by. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise this group of people must be let go. got away."

  Chu Nanzhi was still thinking, when he heard Xie Jingchen's magnetic voice ringing in his ears.

She came back to her senses and looked at this handsome gentleman carefully, and said suspiciously: "You are the prince of the ten clans of Baiyu, even if you are discussing the diplomatic relations between the two countries, you shouldn't come here in person, don't you?" Worried about being held hostage in the country.”

   Xie Jingchen twisted the corner of his mouth, and slowly revealed a bitter smile: "In order to avoid the loss of life in the two countries, even if I am held as a hostage in the Dahe Empire for the rest of my life, why should I be afraid?"

  Under the seemingly tranquil expression, there are affectionate eyes in the eyes.

   In the past few months of being separated from her, he has suffered from lovesickness. As long as he can see her every day, he would rather stay in Dahe Empire as a hostage.

Chu Nanzhi disagreed with his point of view: "Since you are worried about the two countries fighting, you should try your best to stay in the capital and stabilize the court. Don't let Bai Yu's army repeatedly violate our borders. You shouldn't risk yourself. It is in accordance with the wishes of those people with ulterior motives in your country."

   Chen Chuan always felt that something was wrong seeing the two of them talking so intimately.

   Besides, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to the empire if the prince of the empire came to the empire for peace talks in person.

  He said with a smile: "Prince Xie's sincerity in this peace talk is very good, and he will definitely be able to exchange for peace between the two countries. Even if he stays in our court as a guest, he is still a distinguished guest. No one will dare to embarrass Prince Xie."

   "I think so."

   Xie Jingchen pursed his lips and looked at Chu Nanzhi with a slight smile, and found that she seemed a little unhappy, so he immediately changed the subject: "You should quickly interrogate these prisoners who have been escorted back."

   After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to bring Qi Jiang to Chu Nanzhi.

   "Are you Qi Jiang?"

  Looking at the blood-stained middle-aged man whose legs had been beaten, Chu Nanzhi asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes."

  Qi Jiang pouted, his face full of disbelief.

   "Why do you want to assassinate the imperial envoy?"

  Chu Nanzhi bent down and stared at him quietly.

   "Labor and management are happy."

  Qi Jiang turned his head sideways, his eyes bulging arrogantly.

   "It seems that the beating just now was not enough to make you happy, so the prince will come to serve you in person."

Xie Jingchen flicked the blade of the sword in his hand, his slender figure bent slightly, maintained the same posture as Chu Nanzhi, looked closely at Qi Jiang, and said with a sneer: "We Bai Yu people have many ways to torture people, you If you like it, I can let you feel it from beginning to end."

  Qi Jiang thought that he had his hamstring cut off just now, and it was already painful enough.

He had also heard of the viciousness of the Baiyu people, and immediately confessed with lingering fear: "A few days ago, someone came to Zhuangzi to report that an imperial edict would come to Luyan Port at dawn today. As long as we take the imperial edict , the imperial court will definitely blame Princess Pingning on her head."

  Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi nodded slightly in thought.

   As expected, it was aimed at me.
