Chapter 262 The Person He Wants to Save]
Xiao Yunshuo's eyes flashed, and he turned his body to the side, barely avoiding Xiao Yuncong's folding fan.
However, Xiao Yuncong was not someone to be easily dealt with, and his second move had already arrived.
Xiao Yunshuo still did not fight back, but his body moved like a dragon, and he just managed to avoid Xiao Yuncong's fatal moves every time.
Later, Xiao Yuncong's face couldn't help but look ugly.
Fortunately, with the last few moves, Xiao Yuncong managed to successfully cut off one of Xiao Yunshuo's sleeves and two lapels, thus regaining some face.
Xiao Yuncong withdrew his hand and returned to his original position.
Lieutenant General Xu immediately rushed forward and put his sword to Xiao Yunshuo's neck: "How dare you, a daring assassin, attack His Royal Highness Prince Rui in broad daylight!"
Xiao Yunshuo glanced at him coldly, then looked at Xiao Yuncong and said calmly, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui suddenly attacked. Does that mean I won't dodge or evade, and will be killed by His Royal Highness Prince Rui? Besides, I was just dodging, so how can I even talk about an attack?"
Lieutenant General Xu was speechless for a moment. He stiffened his neck and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui wants to kill you. That's a gift to you! You should just accept it without dodging or evading!"
Xiao Yunshuo: "..."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Xiao Yuncong smiled and said, "Lieutenant General Xu, that's enough. I just made a sudden move to test the skills of this Young Master Yun and see if he can kill my assassin. Seeing Young Master Yun's skills, I realized that I was mistaken. The assassin is someone else."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Yunshuo, cupped his fists, and said with a smile, "Young Master Yun's Yun Clan's Soaring Cloud Step has truly been mastered to perfection. This king admires you."
Xiao Yunshuo looked at him and said calmly, "Your Highness Prince Rui, I appreciate your concession."
Lieutenant General Xu was somewhat unwilling: "Your Highness Prince Rui, General, but this assassin..."
Xiao Yuncong gently waved his folding fan and said to Qu Wenmin, "General Qu, I mean to leave the matter of the assassination behind. I am not injured, and the princess's boudoir was robbed. I believe the thieves were making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and they may not be targeting me. Moreover, it is not my intention to cause unrest in Dingzhou City for my sake."
Qu Wenmin immediately said, "Your Highness Prince Rui has Li Min in mind and is unwilling to disturb the people. He is truly a model of benevolence and righteousness. It was my negligence that caused such a disturbance in the city. However, whether it is an assassin or a bandit gang, we cannot ignore it, otherwise more people will be harmed. I will ask them to investigate as little as possible to minimize disturbance to the people!"
Xiao Yuncong and Qu Wenmin glanced at Chen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue respectively, then left with their men.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but some of the timid guests were so scared that their legs went weak.
Chen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue took the three little ones back to the room.
Xiao Yunshuo pretended to pass by her and stuffed a note into Chen Fenghe's hand.
Chen Fenghe didn't say anything. After returning to the room, he took out the note and read it. The note asked her to come to his room as soon as possible.
Qin Mengyue sat on the ground with lingering fear and whispered, "Shuo'er is fine. Fortunately, everyone is safe tonight. It's just that the Second Prince... Fenghe, tell me, he suddenly attacked Shuo'er just now. Did he recognize her..."
Chen Fenghe was also a little suspicious, but she still comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. If the Second Prince had already recognized us, how could he let Your Highness and us go so easily? He must not have recognized us."
Of course, there is also a possibility that Xiao Yuncong recognized him, but did not want to expose and deal with the prince in public.
After all, the person who killed the crown prince was the fifth prince. Although the crown prince is now charged with the crime of treason, there is no guarantee that his innocence will not be overturned in the future.
Given the Second Prince's usual method of winning people's hearts, there was no need for him to act in public and bear the crime of murdering the Crown Prince.
However, she did not tell Qin Mengyue about these speculations, because it would be useless and would only increase her worries.
Chen Fenghe told Qin Mengyue about the note, and then quietly went to Xiao Yunshuo's room when no one was around.
