Chapter 388
"Open the gate!"
"Let that kid come out and die!"
"Audacious, ignorant thing!"
"Princess Taiping is like a fairy, how can she be defiled by a small person like him? It's simply outrageous!"
"Open the door quickly!"
Night fell, and the Imperial Capital was filled with ten thousand lights, blooming like flowers.
Outside the Princess's Mansion, there were torches and weapons, and it was packed with people.
Thoroughbred horses, spirit beast mounts, and luxurious carriages were everywhere, with rich servants and beautiful maids gathered in groups. Leading them were a group of young people in brocade clothes and arrogant momentum.
Especially four of them, who looked like kings descending, looking down on everything.
The ordinary guards of the Princess's Mansion were trembling, trying to endure their fear, and blocked the gate.
Dozens of "Black Cavalry" rode on hybrid third-grade horned horse beasts, lined up, holding swords, standing in the courtyard to prevent accidents.
"What? The Princess is not here, so that dog thing doesn't dare to come out?"
The Heir of the Prince of Boyang, Wu Sitian, fanned himself with a pearl and jade screen fan and smiled faintly. His square face was exceptionally square.
The Heir of the Prince of Dongxiang, Wu Sidi, said coldly: "Why are you being so literary? Anyway, Her Highness the Princess is not here. If he doesn't come out, we'll go in and catch him, and beat him to death with sticks!"
"Just you not being literary? Rude!" Wu Sitian glared at him.
"I said you..." Wu Sidi prepared to tear into him.
Xu Youzhi, the son of the Eldest Princess, who was as beautiful as a woman, laughed: "Brothers, no need to argue. If he doesn't dare to come out, his reputation is already ruined, and... does he think he can hide? Can he really hide for a lifetime? Isn't it beautiful for us to play cat and mouse?"
Xu Youzhi was the strategist among them. Hearing him say this, the other young masters nodded repeatedly.
Cao Wei, the grandson of the Prime Minister, said: "Youzhi is right. Crippling this person won't be in vain for us running back from so far away!"
Wu Sitian said: "It's just that I don't know what this kid looks like. What did the Princess see in him? Could it be that he is more handsome than us?"
"That's impossible!" Wu Sidi said confidently: "If we talk about being romantic and handsome, what kind of great man can surpass us?"
"That's true!" Everyone nodded.
"I'll shout a couple more times!" Cao Wei shouted at the inside: "You brute, come out and..."
Before he finished shouting, he heard the gate "creak" open. The guards at the gate retreated to the side, and the "Black Cavalry" in the courtyard also moved to the side.
A path was revealed. He saw the lights in the direction of the main hall were dim, and three palace maids and the leader of the Princess's Mansion "Black Cavalry" were surrounding a person.
With his back to the light, one couldn't see the person's face clearly. He was seen wearing a thin white long gown, hair disheveled, barefoot, holding a knife in his hand, preparing to wipe it across his own neck.
"Ah... uh..."
The young masters of the princes and nobles outside were stunned!
They had imagined that after the door opened, the Princess's "pretty boy" would argue with reason, be fierce but cowardly, rely on the Princess's power to bully others, or even hide and let his servants come out to stall.
But what the hell is this?
What kind of scene is this?
Someone is wiping their neck in front of us?
Are you kidding?
Wu Sitian and the others exchanged blank glances, and Cao Wei said: "What is the meaning of this? Who is that guy committing suicide?"
Mulan looked at Heng Xian with trembling cheeks, suddenly unable to understand this person. She took a deep breath and cupped her hands outside the gate: "Young masters, heirs, please. This... is our Young Master Heng, the Princess's prospective husband!"
"Wahaha..."
There was an instant commotion outside the gate.
"What is this kid doing? Did he commit suicide out of fear?"
"The Princess has met the wrong person!"
"So cowardly, hahaha, just a small person from the market!"
"It really insults the Princess's heavenly appearance! Should be killed!"
"Not necessarily!" Xu Youzhi, the son of the Eldest Princess, narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "Even a fool would argue a bit. How can someone give up great wealth and commit suicide out of fear?"
Everyone couldn't help but stop mocking.
Xu Youzhi nodded, led everyone forward together, and looked at Heng Xian coldly: "What is the meaning of this? If you don't give a reason, even without the Princess's matter, we will punish you for the crime of arrogance and rudeness!"
Heng Xian still held the knife to his neck, looking like he had no desire to live: "Nothing else! My faith has just collapsed!"
"Uh..."
"Faith collapsed?"
This term is a bit fresh. Although it can be understood literally, it still made the group of young masters a bit confused.
Cao Wei sneered: "What the hell is faith collapsed?"
Heng Xian looked at the sky: "When I arrived, I heard about the Four Heavenly Kings of the Imperial Capital, each handsome and romantic, with deep wisdom, able to write to settle the world, able to ride horses to set the country, peerless, worthy of being called peerless..."
The group of young masters listened, dumbfounded. What kind of fairy praise is this? It's simply too explosive!
Wu Sidi hesitated and said: "Which... four Heavenly Kings are you talking about? Why haven't we heard of them?"
Heng Xian said very seriously: "Of course it's the Heir of the Prince of Boyang, Wu Sitian, the Heir of the Prince of Dongxiang, Wu Sidi, the grandson of Prime Minister Cao, Cao Wei, and the son of the Eldest Princess, Xu Youzhi. I admire these four people very much!"
"Ah this..."
Wu Sitian, Xu Youzhi, and the four were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned red.
So it was us!!!
There was an inexplicable sense of pleasure, rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
They had been called playboys many times since they were young. When had they ever been praised like this by a stranger?
The key is that this person is valued by the Princess, and he used such a formation!!
The four looked at Heng Xian, inexplicably forgetting about the Princess's matter, and found this guy a bit pleasing to the eye.
"The four are peerless national scholars! When I arrived, the elders in my hometown told me that I must take the four as lighting pillars to indicate the path for the future!" Heng Xian added fuel to the fire.
"Ah this..." Xu Youzhi's face couldn't take it.
Wu Sidi laughed loudly: "This matter... we won't argue with you! What you said is somewhat reasonable. Consider you kid to have some vision!"
"However..." Heng Xian's tone changed, "I heard that among the rude people who came to call the door and disturb the peace, there were four of them. So... they are such people. How can I not feel cold? How can I not be disappointed?
How can I face the elders in my hometown? My spiritual world has collapsed. What joy is there in living, and what is there to fear in death?"
"Ah..."
"This..."
Wu Sitian and the four immediately put down their arrogance, patted their bodies, coughed lightly, and became "virtuous and respected"!
"I might as well die!" Heng Xian was about to wipe his neck.
"Brother, don't!" Wu Sidi roared.
"Can't do this!" Cao Wei and the others also made a gesture to step forward.
Heng Xian stopped and looked at them: "What do you mean?"
Cao Wei and the others looked at Xu Youzhi, who immediately said righteously: "We are the Four Heavenly Kings in your eyes, but... we came to visit you, brother. Calling the door and scolding was just a joke with you!"
"So that's how it is!" Heng Xian threw the knife away cleanly and ordered: "Quick, welcome the Four Heavenly Kings in. I want to have a drink with them!"
Mulan's expression was extremely complex. Her faith was also about to collapse. She participated in the whole process and understood too well that Young Master Heng was playing with them.
He actually dared to play with the four most powerful young masters in the capital??
The key is that the four actually bought his act!
This kind of operation, she couldn't understand at all!
