Zhang Zhe left, turning back every few steps.
When he walked out of the private room, Ye Jingchen's face turned completely cold.
He glanced at the size of the private room and was the first to leave.
After leaving the restaurant, Ye Jingchen walked in the opposite direction of the armory. After walking for about half an incense stick's time, he saw an alley that was wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
He walked into the alley and gestured for Xie Chang'an to follow.
After entering the alley, Ye Jingchen called out a name.
"Dawn".
The dawn flew down from the eaves to his side and came to his side.
"beat!"
He only said one word.
Chenxi instantly understood his meaning and immediately slapped Xie Chang'an across the face.
Xie Chang'an barely managed to dodge Chen Xi's palm before it made intimate contact with his face, and then he began to fight with Chen Xi in the narrow alley.
As soon as the two clashed, several heads suddenly popped up from the eaves on both sides of the alley, including his bodyguards and Xie Chang'an's men.
But they just watched, and no one dared to intervene.
After watching for a while, Ye Jingchen realized a somewhat unacceptable fact: Xie Chang'an was actually able to keep up with Chenxi's speed, and it seemed unlikely that they could determine a winner in a short period of time.
In other words, his idea of having Chenxi beat up Xie Chang'an is likely to fail.
He remembered that in the novel, when Xie Chang'an hired people to ambush and kill Chenxi, he clearly sent several people with exceptional martial arts skills. Together with himself, they fought for a long time before finally killing Chenxi!
But then he thought that Xie Chang'an in the novel had never had a peaceful day since he was six years old. He was poisoned every three days and assassinated every five days. He was not in good health and did not have much time to practice martial arts. He was not good at kung fu and relied more on strategy.
But in this life, he spent a lot of time practicing every day, so his skills are naturally different from those in his previous life.
"Stop!" Ye Jingchen shouted after watching them fight for a while.
Chenxi retreated to his side, a hint of resentment showing on her usually expressionless face.
Xie Chang'an's expression was also unpleasant, and he glared coldly at Ye Jingchen.
"What, you're not going to act all friendly with me anymore?" Ye Jingchen retorted with a cold laugh.
"Since you knew I was acting, why did you still let your bodyguards hit me?" Xie Chang'an said in a deep voice, his hands tucked into his sleeves trembling slightly.
He had only trained for seven years, and there was still a gap between him and Chenxi. If it were a life-or-death battle, he might not be able to survive against Chenxi.
"You put on this show in front of Zhang Zhe, shouldn't you be beaten? Who has repeatedly said that Zhang Zhe is untrustworthy?!" Ye Jingchen said irritably.
"It's precisely because he's untrustworthy that I staged this whole thing to lure him out." Xie Chang'an said, waving his hand, and half of their heads disappeared.
Ye Jingchen waved his hand, and Chenxi and the remaining half of the heads disappeared back into their surroundings.
"You're not trying to mislead Zhang Zhe into thinking we have some kind of secret relationship, so he'll go and complain to my father?" Ye Jingchen asked incredulously.
Xie Chang'an nodded.
"Young man, you're playing with fire!" Ye Jingchen patted Xie Chang'an on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Back when he was choosing study companions, his father suspected that there might be something wrong with him because his several study companions were all quite good-looking.
He was only eight years old at the time, and even his father doubted his sexual orientation!
He's fifteen years old now, but he still hasn't figured things out, and he doesn't want to marry the Crown Princess. If his father hears these rumors again, he'll go crazy!
"What are you trying to achieve by doing this?" Ye Jingchen asked, puzzled.
Before this, he always felt that he and Xie Chang'an had a good understanding, but this time, he really couldn't figure out what Xie Chang'an was thinking.
“My grandfather is too old to go to the battlefield. I want the emperor to send me to the northern frontier!” Xie Chang’an said.
"Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo has some health problem?" Ye Jingchen asked hurriedly.
This is the guardian deity of their Great Abyss! He can't be allowed to die before Xie Chang'an rises to power!
"Old wounds left from years on the battlefield are always a hidden danger. It's better to be safe than sorry!" Xie Chang'an said.
Ye Jingchen fell silent.
After a long pause, he asked, "Do you want my father to misunderstand our relationship and then exile you to the northern frontier?"
"Yes," Xie Chang'an admitted.
At that moment, Ye Jingchen had an urge to crack open Xie Chang'an's skull to see how his brain was structured and why he would come up with such a bizarre and inexplicable idea!
“Well… winter is almost here, and there will definitely be war in the northern frontier. It’s not realistic to change generals on the eve of battle. We still have more than half a year to plan. Why don’t you wait a little longer? Your current plan is really dangerous. My father will most likely not exile you, but will choose to kill you directly!” Ye Jingchen said with difficulty.
“Zhang Zhe didn’t dare to tell the emperor about this directly. He would only let it reach the emperor’s ears as a rumor. He didn’t even dare to spread the rumor, so the rumor was controllable!”
"The emperor would certainly be angry about a controllable rumor, but surely he wouldn't kill me over it?"
"It shouldn't have come to that, but—"
But something Ye Jingchen found difficult to say.
"But when I was choosing my study companions, the portraits of all four of you were particularly cute. At that time, my father suspected that I might prefer boys."
"And a while ago, my father was already very unhappy when I refused to marry the Crown Princess. If rumors about you and me spread, he will definitely blame you for my refusal to marry the Crown Princess. Do you think he won't kill you?!"
There is another, more important reason, but Ye Jingchen will not tell Xie Chang'an!
In this era, fifteen years old is already the age to get married and have children, but he still hasn't figured it out. How can he explain this to Xie Chang'an?
Although Ye Jingchen hadn't yet revealed the most important reason, based on Xie Chang'an's understanding of Emperor Shengping, these two reasons alone were enough for Emperor Shengping to harbor murderous intentions towards him.
But he was reluctant to give up now that he had already cast the bait.
After all, this was the fastest and best way for the emperor to exile him!
"Wait a little longer, maybe things will turn around in a while," Ye Jingchen quickly reassured him when he saw that he didn't speak.
After leaving the alley, the two parted ways.
Ye Jingchen had only taken a few steps when Chenxi appeared beside him.
Ye Jingchen glanced at Chenxi; he clearly hadn't forgotten what had just happened, and there was still a hint of resentment on his face.
Baby faces are always a blessing from heaven, and seven years have passed, but Chenxi still looks the same.
Now that the two of them are walking together, no one would doubt that Ye Jingchen is the older brother and Chenxi is the younger brother.
Ye Jingchen found Chenxi's unwillingness amusing and teased him, "Next time we'll find a more spacious place, so you can fight as hard as you want. Xie Chang'an definitely won't be able to beat you."
