Chapter 416

【The sword light is like electricity, arriving suddenly!】

【This sword came too fast, let alone Xie Yuan, even experts like Li Qinlan couldn't react in time. When they wanted to save him, they were already half a step late.】

【Liu Yuan secretly operates his true essence in his sleeve, his knuckles trembling, and he has divided into three forces, but quietly dissipates just before he is about to make a move. He narrows his eyes, a flash of dark and unclear color in the bottom of his eyes.】

【He Lan Zhenshu, the Crown Prince of Changsheng Heaven, has a smile on his lips, playing with the jade thumb ring in his hand, as if he had known about this change.】

【The several courtesans were already scared out of their wits, and they didn't even notice the handkerchief in their hands falling to the ground. They have lived in the wind and moon for a long time, when have they seen such life-taking cold light?】

【"Stop!", in Su Yun's angry shout, Pei Feng's sword tip suddenly burst out three inches of gang energy—he actually had a heart to kill!】

【Xie Yuan just took half a step, his face was anxious, the sword edge had reached three inches from Xie Guan's throat—at this distance, it was difficult to save him!】

【Li Qinlan's pupils shrank, as if she had already seen the tragic scene of a sword beheading and blood splashing five steps.】

【Pei Feng's murderous intent soared, and his ruthless look was even worse. This sword sealed the energy of all directions, even an expert in the sixth realm "Soft Winding" would drink hatred if caught off guard, let alone the other party was just a weak Confucian scholar?】

【Where the sword points, there is no life!】

【Xie Guan seemed to be in danger, standing still, as if he was scared silly.】

【Pei Feng sneered, but the moment he looked up, he met a pair of calm eyes, and his heart was slightly surprised.】

【In the blink of an eye!】

【The courtesans had already closed their eyes and turned their heads, only Song Tingting, who was playing the zither, showed a look of pain.】

【"Hmm——?"】

【There was no blood splashing, no screams, only an unexpected low hum.】

【Pei Feng's pupils shrank. At the moment of his strike, he felt his head suddenly stung by a needle, his mind went blank, the mouthful of innate energy he gathered weakened, his footsteps tilted, and he actually stabbed crookedly, and Xie Guan just happened to retreat half a step.】

【Pei Feng stood still, the sword tip still trembling, drawing a deep trench on the original empty ground. He shook his head, his face full of confusion.】

【He usually operates his energy freely, how could such a thing happen!】

【Liu Yuan frowned, seemingly feeling something, looking at the place where Pei Feng's sword slashed and the half step you just retreated.】

【Pei Feng suddenly raised his energy, seeing the young man still calm, immediately swung another sword!】

【Unfortunately!】

【"Whoosh——" an arrow broke through the air, like a meteor chasing the moon, accurately hitting Pei Feng's sword body. Under the shock of the huge force, his tiger's mouth cracked, blood splashed, and the long sword fell with a clatter.】

【Three black-clad masked guards had already stood in the hall at some point.】

【The black-clad men ignored Pei Feng and guarded in front of Su Yun.】

【Your gaze turned slightly, falling on the three people in front of Su Yun—holding a bow, holding a sword, holding a judge's pen.】

【The three people's energy was condensed, guarding Su Yun in the center.】

【That arrow just now was from the man holding the bow, the arrow was like electricity, breaking through the air without sound, showing his profound cultivation.】

【The moment Pei Feng's murderous intent appeared, these breaths that were originally hidden in the dark had already made a move.】

【They must be Su Yun's personal guards. In fact, when you left Xie Fu, you had already noticed several faint breaths following from afar, but the distance was too far, and it was difficult to investigate without using the Primordial Spirit power, so you didn't delve into it.】

【As the grandson of Minister Su, how could Su Yun not have experts secretly protecting him?】

【At this moment, these secret guards finally revealed their true faces.】

【Your heart moved slightly, and you sensed that there were still several breaths hidden in the pavilion, all of which were not bad—mostly the guests secretly enshrined by Qimo Chunfang, or the guardians accompanying the crown princes.】

【Your gaze turned lightly, and you scanned Liu Yuan in the wheelchair as if unintentionally. This Crown Prince of Sui also hid his cultivation.】

【As for the sword Pei Feng stabbed just now, you had already been alert secretly. You used the "Ghost Slashing Sword" on him just before he made a move, so he felt like he was stung by a needle, and for a while, he messed up his breathing and stabbed crookedly.】

【"Take him!" He Lan Zhenshu shouted coldly.】

【The guards behind him moved at the sound, grabbed Pei Feng's arms and pressed him to the ground. Pei Feng didn't resist, just looked at you dead.】

【He Lan Zhenshu strode forward and kicked Pei Feng on the forehead, the force was ruthless, and blood splashed immediately, staining half of his face red.】

【"You don't know how to live or die, daring to run wild here, I will deal with you properly after I go back."】

【Xie Yuan rushed to your side, worried, "Brother Guan, are you okay, are you hurt?"】

【You shook your head lightly: "Nothing."】

【Su Yun's face was livid: "He Lan Zhenshu! Your mansion's people openly assassinated, and you want to reveal it so lightly?"】

【"Assassination?" He Lan Zhenshu raised his eyebrows, suddenly laughed, and spread his hands: "Why would I want to kill him?"】

【He kicked the long sword on the ground with his toes, and said carelessly: "It's just that Pei Feng's hand slipped and he didn't hold the weapon steady."】

【Su Yun's face was like frost, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out: "Do you really think I, Su Yun, am easy to bully?!"】

【He shook his sleeves, and his voice suddenly rose: "Do you think there is no one in Qi?!"】

【If He Lan Zhenshu was allowed to take Pei Feng back like this, he would be unscathed.】

【He Lan Zhenshu's burly body like a black bear suddenly shook, and he looked up and laughed "haha."】

【The laughter stopped abruptly.】

【"Qi has bullied my three countries for many years, and now you are talking about our faults?"】

【He threw the gold knife at his waist on the ground, and he sneered: "I am just a hostage, how dare I run wild in Bianjing? Why don't you take me to the Xuanjing Division prison now—"】

【"It just so happens that I have tasted all the delicacies in Bianjing, but I haven't tasted the prison food yet, so let other countries know how Qi treats its allies."】

【Changsheng Heaven formed an alliance with Qi ten years ago, and they were brother countries, and several times they almost sent this crown prince back to his country.】

【"Amitabha." Kong Du rarely chanted a Buddha name, his prayer beads spinning rapidly, "Young Master Yun, calm down, Crown Prince Zhenshu received a family letter that the Khan was seriously ill, and he was worried and spoke without thinking, I hope Young Master Yun will be magnanimous."】

【Liu Yuan's wheelchair moved forward slightly, and he tapped the armrest with his hands behind his back: "Zhenshu, apologize to Young Master Yun."】

【Although the three had conflicts in Bianjing, they were very tacit at this moment. After all, in this foreign land, they prosper together and suffer together.】

【Hostage of the enemy country, after all, they are of the same breath.】

【Su Yun's face was ugly. If it were in the past, how would He Lan Zhenshu dare to be so arrogant?】

【But now the Red Eye Army in Jiangnan Road is in chaos, and the thirteen states are full of smoke. Moreover, Sui is deploying troops on the border, watching covetously】

【It is truly a scene of internal and external troubles!】

【If this Crown Prince of Changsheng Heaven were forcibly detained at this moment, it would only trigger a dispute between the two countries. Su Yun took a deep breath, and finally did not want to add trouble to his grandfather.】

【"Confusing black and white!"】

【Xie Yuan was furious, pointing at He Lan Zhenshu's nose, "Just now it was clearly an attempted assassination!"】

【He Lan Zhenshu didn't panic and brushed his sleeves, his smile was sinister: "Young Master Yuan, you are wronging people. I am a hostage of a small country, and I am trembling in Bianjing, how dare I have such thoughts?"】

【"Third brother." Su Shishi called out softly, her slender fingers secretly pulling her adopted brother's sleeve.】

【Su Yun naturally understood his sister's hint—to take the overall situation as the priority.】

【But looking at He Lan Zhenshu's unscrupulous appearance, it was really hateful.】

【Especially since Xie Guan was a guest he invited personally and a member of the Caotang Poetry Gathering.】

【If He Lan Zhenshu didn't have the status of Crown Prince of Changsheng Heaven, he would have wanted to cut him into pieces.】

【He Lan Zhenshu pretended to be generous and waved his hand, his face full of hypocritical smiles: "This matter is ultimately my poor discipline, so I should naturally apologize."】

【He clapped his hands, leisurely, "Tomorrow I will send a hundred taels of gold to Xie Fu, just to calm Young Master Guan." His tone was as if he were giving alms to a beggar.】

【"Harmony is precious. Big things become small, small things become nothing, don't you think so?"】

【He Lan Zhenshu's appearance and figure were both a big man, but there was fox-like cunning in his eyes.】

【"Who wants your stinky money!"】

【Xie Yuan was shaking with anger, but seeing Su Yun's face hesitant and silent, he knew that today's matter could only end here.】

【Xie Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. He saw it clearly—these people were bullying Brother Guan for his humble background and lack of official status. If Brother Guan really died here today, I'm afraid it would just be a matter of paying some silver.】

【He stared hatefully at He Lan Zhenshu's proud face, his heart surging with unprecedented powerlessness. If he were in a high position, would there still be scruples!】

【If he had the heaven-reaching cultivation of the Second Master, he would have killed a few people with one sword.】

【Cai Huang and Song Tingting stood quietly on the side, their red lips tightly pursed. This kind of court game is definitely not something that women in the wind and dust like them can comment on.】

【But seeing the anger in the eyes of the two women, He Lan Zhenshu's arrogance is really annoying.】

【Xie Xuan's face was tight, but there was a hidden joy in the bottom of his eyes.】

【He Lan Zhenshu suddenly raised his foot and kicked Pei Feng until he staggered. "What a waste!"】

【"Can't even hold the sword, why don't you kneel and apologize to Young Master Guan?"】

【The moment the guards let go, Pei Feng actually knelt on the ground with a "thump," his forehead hitting the bluestone slab heavily. In the dull impact sound, he looked up and grinned, revealing white teeth—where was there any regret?】

【"That's more like it." He Lan Zhenshu clapped and laughed, loudly, "As the saying goes, grievances should be resolved rather than knotted..."】

【After speaking, his gaze was as sharp as a falcon, shooting directly at you, "What does Young Master Xie think?"】

【The field fell into a silence, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.】

【Su Yun's gaze was bright, everyone held their breath, waiting to see how this seemingly weak Xie Fu concubine son would deal with this humiliation?】

【Li Qinlan also had an unkind expression. As a descendant of the nine major surnames, she knew He Lan Zhenshu's means and power.】

【Every sentence was hidden in the machine, dripping without leaking, making it difficult to refute.】

【She glanced at you, only to see your face calm as water, as if you were outside the matter, watching others' disputes.】

【Liu Yuan also turned his wheelchair, his gaze focused on you.】

【Your gaze swept over Pei Feng who was wiping blood, and He Lan Zhenshu who was tall behind him.】

【Facing this matter, you decided...】

1. Accept the apology. (Hint: No impact on the future.)

2. Do not accept the apology. (Hint: Impact on the future.)

3. Sword behead Pei Feng. (Hint: May be beneficial to the future.)

4. Participate personally. (1/3)

5. Can deduce the future once. (1/2)

The big tripod knocked and revealed ten thousand rays of light, and the words on it slowly fixed.

Yu Ke is looking at the five options. As Xie Guan gradually grows up and his strength improves, after leaving the Qunfang Banquet, there has been no "life-threatening" crisis, which can be considered progress.

Nothing to struggle with, choose directly.

3. Sword behead Pei Feng. (Hint: May be beneficial to the future.)

【You suddenly smiled, "Crown Prince He Lan, I really don't know where I offended you, making you want to get rid of me so quickly."】

【As soon as these words came out!】

【Liu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, originally thinking you would judge the situation and take a step back, but didn't expect you to face the provocation directly without retreating.】

【You, a concubine son, what kind of waves can you turn up.】

【Hearing this, Su Yun's eyes were complicated.】

【"Hahaha——" He Lan Zhenshu suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, his gold-inlaid belt swaying with his front and back.】

【Following that, the smile on his face slowly converged, "Don't say, Young Master Guan, you are more funny than the actors in the palace."】

【He slowly straightened his body, his tall figure cast a shadow in front of you, looking down from above, "Who am I, and what is your status, you are worthy!"】

【You smiled indifferently, and the conversation turned, "In this way, Crown Prince He Lan has no heart to kill me, then it is this Pei Feng who wants to put me to death?"】

【Pei Feng was stunned, but didn't speak.】

【You raised your eyes to meet He Lan Zhenshu's gaze, "I don't know if the Crown Prince... knows."】

【"A low-class guest..." He Lan Zhenshu tidied his cuffs slowly, "Is he worthy of the Crown Prince's trouble?"】

【Your voice was not slow: "The Crown Prince's apology, Xie Guan accepts, but I don't want the gift."】

【"Oh? It seems Young Master Guan is unwilling to make big things small?"】

【You looked directly at him, your eyes calm, "Although I don't know where I offended this guest of the Crown Prince."】

【"But since he wants to take my life, why not compete fairly—have grievances, have hatred."】

【He Lan Zhenshu paused, a flash of surprise in the bottom of his eyes, obviously not expecting you to be like this.】

【After a while, he laughed lowly: "Interesting..."】

【"But say it first, swords have no eyes, if something happens, the Crown Prince will not bear any responsibility."】

【You nodded, "Naturally, the competition itself is like this."】

【This result, even Liu Yuan was stunned, unexpected!】

【Xie Xuan felt that he couldn't understand this ninth brother, he knew that you were still young, and you were squeezed out in the mansion, let alone martial arts, even enlightenment reading was not there.】

【And Pei Feng is a martial arts master, and his strength should not be underestimated. Your move is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, seeking your own death.】

【Li Qinlan also showed a look of incomprehension.】
