Chapter 99: Defeat the scheming boy and tease the sultry general (9)

Until Chu Heng returned to the general's mansion, he still couldn't figure out the inexplicable feelings in his heart, and the reason for the throbbing and tolerance he felt towards Li Ziyan.

Logically speaking, a training camp is not a place that is particularly easy to enter. Although Li Ziyan is the Holy Prince and he only needs to report to the camp, as a person who does not like trouble, Chu Heng has never taken the initiative to invite anyone to the training camp. But now he made an invitation to please Li Ziyan.

Yes, it was to please, and one could even use the word "please" to describe Chu Heng's motives and feelings. He had no shady thoughts, he just wanted to make this seemingly fragile and lonely little prince happy.

Compared to the furrowed brows and melancholy look, Chu Heng prefers Li Ziyan's bright eyes and smiling cheeks.

The emotional development between the two people in this regard is progressing much faster than 007 imagined. After running through the previous worlds, 007 is very confident in Li Ziyan, and it will automatically input the rewards obtained after the end of each world into Li Ziyan's mind.

Li Ziyan lay in bed, his mind filtering through the green tea tactics and skills 007 had transmitted to him, slowly counting the number of worlds he had passed. As he counted, his eyes grew darker. Four worlds in total, four lives he had lived through with this system. The system said that a world was nothing more than a fluctuation of brain waves, just an all-too-real dream, but Li Ziyan didn't believe it.

Or perhaps Li Ziyan originally believed it, but later when he realized that these worlds were becoming more and more real, and when he realized that a part of his brain seemed to have been dug out by something, he felt that something was wrong.

007 was hiding something from him, and he wasn't sure whether hiding this part from him was good or bad, but what he was sure of was that it was inextricably linked to the ultimate reason for these missions.

With a light sigh, Li Ziyan suppressed the hidden emotions in his eyes and stopped thinking about it. Instead of pursuing things that he had no clue about, it would be better to solve the dilemma in front of him. Perhaps after this time, he could find some way to start.

007 was currently undergoing upgrades and inspections, and was completely unaware of Li Ziyan's thoughts. Li Ziyan happened to seize this opportunity and secretly created a defense in his heart.

Two days passed quickly, and when it was time for Li Ziyan and Chu Heng to meet, Li Ziyan wore a dark blue suit, probably to make himself look less fragile and thin. The dark fabric made his face look even whiter, and although it looked a little sickly, it could not hide the exquisiteness and beauty of his facial features.

The breathtaking white and the rich, deep black outlined an extremely thrilling game of colors. Even Chu Heng was shocked. This was the first time he saw Li Ziyan wearing dark clothes, which made Li Ziyan look heroic and sharp. The whole person looked more imposing and noble.

"Does this look weird on me? Ahem..."

"No, Your Highness looks very good in this dress." Chu Heng realized his impoliteness and quickly retracted his gaze and half lowered his head, but his heart was still trembling. "Your Highness, the carriage is ready, we can set off."

"good."

Chu Heng put his hands aside, Li Ziyan held Chu Heng's arm and used the force to get into the carriage. Chu Heng originally wanted to ride a horse outside and follow him, but Li Ziyan lifted the door curtain with one hand, blinking his peach blossom eyes and looking at him like that, which made him feel a little soft-hearted and he got into the carriage uncontrollably.

"Huanzhi, thank you so much. I have never traveled with friends before. I think all my first times were with you." The young prince's words were ambiguous and sincere, which made the idiot general, who was used to hearing dirty jokes in the army, blush completely. He sat there, but did not dare to look beyond the limit and could only nod woodenly.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is merely my duty."

"For Huanzhi, being with me is just a duty?" Li Ziyan said softly. Chu Heng suddenly raised his head and looked into Li Ziyan's clear eyes, not knowing what to say.

What did Li Ziyan mean by this? He didn't understand. Was it what he imagined? He didn't know. Although he had received the favor of many young ladies from aristocratic families and high-ranking officials, he had never experienced such ambiguous, innocent words.

"I thought Huanzhi and I were already friends."

Li Ziyan finished the second half of the sentence with a smile. Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little disappointed for no reason. He didn't know what he was expecting.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being so humble. I am of low status, and I really..."

"Huan Zhi has made great military achievements and comes from a family of famous generals. Why do you say he is of low status? Moreover, ahem, moreover, I am not the kind of person who only makes friends based on status, ahem."

"I'm sorry for being so rude." Chu Heng also realized that what he said was wrong. Seeing the young prince's sincere expectation, his heart was like a fire burning. "It is my honor to make friends with the prince."

"Then, then Huan Zhi, could you please stop calling me Prince? Just call me by my name, okay?"

"This... Your Majesty, this is unreasonable."

"You and I are friends. Isn't it normal for friends to call each other by their names? Huanzhi, can you please call me? Ahem..."

Her eyes were full of affection, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with pleading and expectation. How could anyone be willing to reject such a beauty, and how could anyone be willing to let him frown those beautiful eyes and brows?

Chu Heng nodded blankly and opened his mouth: "Zi Yan."

His voice was deep and pleasant, and just calling out Li Ziyan's name was enough to make one's ears blush. Li Ziyan smiled, took out a folding fan, and unfolded it, covering himself with it. Unaware that his joy had already been revealed through his eyes, Chu Heng's heart trembled, and he wanted to worship this smiling little prince in front of him.

The training ground was a little far from the palace, but the two of them left early, so it was just after noon when they arrived.

Some people were already practicing in the training grounds. The carriage Li Ziyan and his companions were riding in was quite conspicuous, and Chu Heng had given instructions last night, so when the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the training grounds, Rong En, who was standing on the training platform, rushed over.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty, Your Highness."

"Lieutenant General Rong, please get up quickly. No need to be so polite in front of me." Li Ziyan was carefully helped down by Chu Heng. His slender, porcelain-white hands rested on the back of Chu Heng's somewhat dark hands. The whiteness was a bit dazzling, yet also had some charming beauty.

"General," Rong En bowed and consciously stood diagonally behind the two of them. He then ordered the coachman to take the carriage to the backyard. "Today I..."

"General!"
