Han Xiao brought a total of three arm crossbows. He just asked Lu Qingyun to take one away, so there are two left.

A Han Xiao was mounted on his arm. After being improved by General Huo, this arm crossbow was much lighter and did not affect his movements. The disadvantage was that it could only attack the enemy by surprise, which was equivalent to the last means of self-defense.

Originally, he thought that Chu Jinglin's place would be heavily guarded, but he didn't expect that Chu Jinglin would send Lu Cheng for the safety of the young master. Han Xiao felt bad about it, so he simply took out the arm crossbow and asked Lu Cheng to give it to Chu Jinglin.

These things were secretly produced by General Huo and Han Xiao, and have not yet been made public, so even the third prince does not know that this thing has been successfully developed.

He walked in front of Lu Cheng with his arm crossbow. Lu Cheng watched Han Xiao go in and out, his brows furrowed. "My Lord, you better go in quickly."

Han Xiao nodded: "I came to deliver something to Brother Lu, and I'm sorry to bother you to make another trip."

Han Xiao placed the wrapped arm crossbow in Lu Cheng's arms. Lu Cheng opened the package with a puzzled look on his face, then slammed it shut and bowed to Han Xiao: "Thank you, my Lord."

Han Xiao waved his hand and said, "The Third Prince has already entrusted his guards to me. This little thing is nothing. The Third Prince used a simplified version of the arm crossbow when he was in the military camp before. This one is used in the same way as the simplified version."

Lu Cheng nodded. He knew this, which was why he was so nervous. Don't underestimate this small arm crossbow. He had seen the power of this arm crossbow. He didn't expect Han Xiao to bring it here.

Not daring to delay any longer, Lu Cheng took his armband and went to look for the Third Prince again. Han Xiao looked at his hurried steps and felt that the atmosphere became even more tense.

As it got dark, Han Xiao ordered the palace servants to close the palace gates and not to receive any more guests, as the "guests" who came might not be good people.

The young master was talking to Liu Anlan in the inner room. When Han Xiao came in, they both raised their heads at the same time.

The young master's face looked a little uneasy. Han Xiao's heart moved and he stepped forward to hug the young master's shoulders and comforted him, "It's okay, we will be fine."

Hearing Han Xiao's comfort, the young master's nose felt sore and tears were about to fall. He had just heard what An Lan said. Although everyone told them that everything was fine, the young master knew that it was all to prevent them from worrying.

Liu Anlan couldn't help but cough twice to indicate that there were other people in the room.

The young master's face turned red. How could he forget An Lan? He immediately climbed out of Han Xiao's arms, turned to look at Chao Chao on the bed, pretending nothing had happened.

If it were any other day, Liu Anlan would definitely tease him a few times, but when he saw that there was no Lu Qingyun behind Han Xiao, Liu Anlan felt something was wrong.

Liu Anlan's face darkened as he thought of a possibility, and he asked with difficulty, "Han Xiao, where is Lu Qingyun?"

Han Xiao's expression froze. Lu Qingyun left happily, but you didn't tell me how to explain it to your wife.

Seeing Han Xiao's silence, Liu Anlan's face became even uglier and his eyes turned red.

The young master was so scared. In his mind, Liu Anlan had always been lazy and didn't care about anything.

What happened suddenly? Why did you start crying?

The young master looked at Han Xiao uneasily and wanted to ask Han Xiao, but Han Xiao just shook his head at him.

Then he took the young master's hand and went out, leaving Liu Anlan with some space. He didn't know how to comfort the other young man, so he just let him calm down on his own.

The young master followed Han Xiao out in a daze. When he heard Han Xiao say this, he stamped his feet and said, "Who needs your comfort?"

After saying that, she glared at Han Xiao in a naive manner.

Han Xiao was bewildered by the stare and touched his chin, not knowing what he had done wrong.

Looking at the young master's back as he walked in angrily, Han Xiao sighed in his heart: It's really hard to guess what these young men are thinking.

But now is not the time to think about these things. The sky is getting darker and darker, and the weather is not good. It actually starts to rain. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire palace becomes even more weird.

Not far from the palace, Mr. Mo, who was originally in the capital, was riding on a horse, looking up at the rain with an expressionless face.

The heavy rain delayed their actions. It seemed that they needed to wait until the rain stopped. Hu Yan then sent a message that the emperor had returned to the palace tonight and asked them to act as soon as possible.

"Mr. Mo, everyone is here. When do we start?" The person who came was a tall man.

"No rush, wait a little longer. Now is the time when they are on high alert. Let's rest here first."

Old Mo looked at the sky. First, he wanted to wait for the rain to stop. Second, night had just arrived. If the emperor had guessed the actions of the second prince and his men, he would have definitely taken precautions by now.

So it is better to wait a little longer, until the early morning, which is the time of the day when people are most tired and least alert.

The pitch-black night obscured the figures of the Northern Di army, and these dense woods were their best protection.

The second prince kept walking back and forth in the room. Hu Yansui was still drinking, and he felt dizzy watching the second prince walking back and forth.

"I say, Second Prince, can you please stop turning around?" Hu Yansui couldn't help but say.

The Second Prince paused, his face livid. "Could you please stop drinking? With such a big event happening today, you're still drinking?"

Hu Yansui threw the wine pot away, looked at the forest outside, patted the Second Prince on the shoulder and said, "Someone just came to deliver a letter. Now everyone has gathered. All we need is your order..."

The second prince's expression changed: "No hurry, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Now is not a good time, he needs to be absolutely sure.

Hu Yansui shrugged his shoulders, leaned back in his chair and began to doze off. Since you all have to wait a little longer, he will just sleep for a while.

Otherwise I won’t have the energy to play with them later.

Hu Yansui had just closed his eyes when he heard a noise outside: "Second Prince? Second Prince?"

The Second Prince's body stiffened. Who on earth was looking for him at this time?

When someone opened the door, they saw that it was Eunuch Dexi standing outside.

"Eunuch Dexi, why are you here at this time?" The second prince asked in surprise.

Eunuch Dexi looked at the Second Prince without saying a word. Then, seeing De Huyansui in the room, his expression remained unchanged. He said softly, "Hey, the guards just discovered a few wild animals. His Majesty is worried about your safety, so he sent this old servant to check on you."

Eunuch Dexi surveyed the entire palace and said, "Second Prince, your place is remote and close to the back mountain. It's really too dangerous. Why don't you go back with me? His Majesty has an empty room..."

The second prince sneered in his heart, what beast or not, he was afraid that his father had already discovered their plan and wanted to strike first.
