Back to the Peak

Chapter 43: Face Saint Returns

Inside the magnificent third prince's bedroom.

Xue Xiaoxiao was sitting at the sandalwood round table, her chin was propped on her slender, white hands, her elf-like eyes were staring into the distance, in a daze.

"Who has such a great charm that I can't forget my lovely little sister back to the palace!" The third prince shook his hand in front of Xue Xiaoxiao, and joked, "Could it be Ling Feng from the Ling family? Is my lucky general not going to succeed? But think about it, a young and handsome young hero like me, I am afraid that any girl will fall in love with him at first sight, haha!"

She blushed a little at what the third prince said, Xue Xiaoxiao knocked his hand aside, and said angrily: "Bah, you're just talking nonsense, I don't have one! Ling Feng cares so much about Sister Yan'er, they love each other, so I won't Go be the third party and beat the mandarin ducks!"

"You mean that if Miss Tang Yan didn't exist, you would...hehe!" The third prince had a smirk on his face.

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense, I'm just curious about Ling Feng, I don't have any thoughts about that at all." Xue Xiaoxiaobai glanced at the third prince and denied it. However, he secretly said in his heart, "It would be great if Ling Feng really didn't have Sister Yan'er by his side, then I could really..." Thinking of this, Xue Xiaoxiao's pretty face turned even redder, and her heart thumped even more Plop, the deer jumped up in a mess.

"Is it just out of curiosity...then why are you willing to leave Xiaohua in the Ling family? This third-tier beast 'six-colored blood-eyed lion' was only begged from the royal father after you stalked it back then. , you treat it a hundred times better than me as an older brother, you were reluctant to borrow it for two days when I wanted to play with it for two days, but today you left it in the Ling family!" The third prince pretended to hang his chest while hanging his chest. Painful, "Oh, I didn't expect that third brother is even worse than Ling Feng in your heart, it's really chilling..."

Seeing this, Xue Xiaoxiao let out a coquettish laugh, stretched out her pink fist and punched the third prince in the chest: "You also saw it at the time, it was Xiaohua who didn't leave by herself, so what can I do? Besides, there is Xiaohua in Ling Family, with its innate double strength, it can more or less protect them, Ling Feng is your lucky general, I am thinking of you!"

The third prince blinked exaggeratedly, managed to squeeze out a drop of tears, and put on a moved face: "My little sister gave the pet to others, so she was thinking of me. This is really - I am touched." Already!"

Seeing that the third prince was still making fun of herself, Xue Xiaoxiao frowned, and said with feigned anger, "You don't believe me?"

The third prince shrank back, and said with a smile: "Your lie, I will know it when I was eight years old, and only a fool will believe it!"

"Hmph, you're looking for a fight!"

Xue Xiaoxiao pouted her lips, and punched the third prince again.

The third prince took a stride, raised his hands, and shouted: "Okay, let me come and meet our heroine!"

With the movement of Xue Xiaoxiao's beautiful figure and the white glow on her arm, the third prince said in shock: "Little sister, you have become a congenital martial artist?" A smug look flashed across Xue Xiaoxiaoqiao's face, , then heard a pig-killing wail suddenly coming from the third prince's bedroom: "Little sister, brother is wrong, please forgive brother! Ouch, don't! It hurts...it hurts, you...you lighten up—"

In the imperial study room, the surrounding shelves are filled with all kinds of books of different thicknesses. Xue Hongze sat on a chair, and a large number of memorials were piled up on the table in front of him, waiting for his approval.

But at this moment, Xue Hongze did not approve those memorials, but looked at a middle-aged man in brocade clothes standing across the table with a serious face. I saw that the man was plump and full of beards. He was Wang Hu, the imperial envoy who went to Pingyang City to announce the decree.

Xue Hongze frowned, and said, "You mean that the fugitives from the Heavenly Prison are supported by a strong person with a third level of innate ability and a large number of strong people with a high level of innate ability. Ling Feng has already died for his country when he went to Longwei Mountain to hunt down the fugitives?"

"As soon as the minister receives the news, he will immediately report to the Holy One!" Wang Hu sighed.

Although he didn't have much contact with Ling Feng, he still had a good impression of the latter.

"Is the news accurate?" Xue Hongze asked.

Wang Hu said respectfully: "This news came from the mouth of the eldest prince, I believe it is not wrong. And..." At this point, Wang Hu paused, looked at Xue Hongze in awe, he hesitated, hesitant to speak .

"If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it, I forgive you for your innocence!" Xue Hongze said.

Only then did Wang Hu say in a deep voice: "And the eldest prince has brought Liu Cheng and Liu Qing from the Liu family to the Ling family..."

Although Wang Hu still hadn't finished speaking, Xue Hongze, who is the emperor, had already guessed the purpose of the eldest prince's visit to the Ling family - to destroy the Ling family!

Xue Hongze shook his head slowly, and sighed in his heart: "My elder son is too arbitrary and flamboyant in his actions. With his character, if he becomes the king of a country in the future, he will definitely use military force and become a generation of tyrants! "

Obviously Ling Feng's pursuit of the fugitive was a trap set by his eldest son. After killing someone with a borrowed knife, immediately wipe out the roots of the Ling family to avoid future troubles!

Xue Hongze's mind is so meticulous that he can understand the whole thing clearly in the blink of an eye.

The eighteen-year-old first-level innate martial artist was a genius who was one in a million, and Xue Hongze felt a little regretful that he just disappeared.

But soon, the look of regret on Xue Hongze's face disappeared in a flash, and the majestic expression of the past reappeared. He who controls the power of life and death in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has long been used to seeing life and death. Ling Feng is not the only genius who has fallen around him? Xue Hongze, who is the king of a country, is no longer surprised except for a little regret.

"You should deal with the matter of the eldest prince going to the Ling family. It must be made into a minor matter. It is best that as few people know about it, the better!" Xue Hongze ordered to Wang Hu.

After all, without Ling Feng, the Ling family is useless and worthless in Xue Hongze's eyes. As a father, he still has to think about his son.

"Yes, I obey the order!" Wang Hu bowed and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly an eunuch outside the door reported in a shrill voice: "My lord, Captain Zhaowu came back from hunting down the fugitive, and asked to be interviewed! "

Hearing this, Xue Hongze and Wang Hu were both taken aback, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time, with doubts on their faces.

Immediately, Xue Hongze came to his senses, laughed loudly, and said to Wang Hu: "Haha, Wang Aiqing, it seems that your news is wrong!" Then he ordered the eunuch outside, "Xuan!"

Wang Hu couldn't help frowning, his face full of doubts, and his heart was mixed with joy and sorrow. Hearing that Ling Feng was not dead, the friendship between the two was good, so I should be happy. But if he really didn't die, wouldn't he have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor with his words just now?

Just when Wang Hu was feeling uneasy, he saw a young man with star-eyed sword eyebrows stepping in. At a glance, who is this young man if he is not Ling Feng?
