Chapter 683
However, the fact that even the Second Prince, who was usually very good at disguising himself, was forced to reveal his true colors made the First Prince even more curious about what Shen Rang had found out.
"You'd better think less about me."
The eldest prince's response was even colder.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the people behind the Second Prince, his face full of contempt.
His contempt was something the Second Prince, who was also a prince, could disregard, but the servants he brought with him dared not and did not take him seriously.
However, the second prince stood firmly in front of the first prince, showing the same unwavering attitude.
Shen Rang must have obtained irrefutable evidence before returning. If he were to let Shen Rang go so easily, his own fate would be dire.
Therefore, no matter what means he has to use today, he cannot let Shen Rang return to Luoyang safely!
Thinking of this, the murderous aura surrounding the Second Prince grew even stronger.
With the two masters on the verge of drawing their swords, the servants behind them naturally tensed up as well. Some even had their hands on their sword hilts, waiting for their masters' orders to fight the other side.
However, the eerie tranquility was suddenly shattered by the sound of horses' hooves.
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Huo Yue and his group catching up.
Upon seeing Huo Yue, the Second Prince's brows furrowed even more.
How could he forget that Huo Yue also left the city today?
Now that Huo Yue has arrived, he will never have another chance.
However, the second prince was unwilling to give up so easily.
Just as the Second Prince was struggling with his decision, Huo Yue and his son arrived.
Huo Yue sat upright on his horse, standing between the eldest prince and the second prince, his aura even subtly suggesting that he could overwhelm them.
"Why is the Second Prince out in this desolate wilderness?"
In front of Huo Yue, the Second Prince dared not be presumptuous: "I heard that Shen Qing and Prince Huo came back today, and I also heard that my elder brother came, so I thought I'd come out and join in the fun."
Seeing the flawless smile on the Second Prince's face, the First Prince snorted coldly without giving him any face.
It's a wonder the Second Prince can still utter such high-sounding words, as if he wasn't the one who was about to draw his sword!
But Huo Yue hadn't come before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Second Prince's words. He nodded and said, "Your Highness, Prince Shen, let's go."
After saying that, Huo Yue took the lead and walked forward.
The aura of a general who has fought on the battlefield is naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
The Tian family members exuded an air of nobility, but Huo Yue carried a faint aura of rust, as if he had been soaked in blood.
Faced with such an imposing aura, the crowd, who had dared to defy even the First Prince, could only instinctively give way.
Huo Yue led everyone away safely, escorting Shen Rang all the way to the majestic palace gate.
Shen Rang dismounted in front of the palace gate and cupped his hands in greeting to Huo Yue: "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."
Huo Yue shook his head and gestured towards the palace: "The guards that Shu'er brought were all people who had survived the battlefield by sheer luck over several lifetimes. Now that they have been killed by their own people, I ask Lord Shen to present their grievances to His Majesty."
Shen Rang's expression turned serious, and he bowed to Huo Yue, saying, "General, rest assured."
This time, he called for the general.
He is not a prince.
Upon hearing this address, Huo Yue knew that Shen Rang understood him.
Huo Yue's gaze softened slightly, and he pulled on the reins, turning his horse around and heading towards the Prince's Mansion.
