Chapter 560 Alliance (1)
"Yeah?"
A man's deep voice was heard in the empty secret room. The voice was very calm, even pleasant to the ears. However, at this moment, it seemed to carry a heart-pounding power that made people feel creepy when they heard it.
Xie Changchao was stunned for a moment, and quickly let go of Shen Miao and turned to stare at the person who came.
There are bull horns hanging on the walls of the secret room, with torches placed in the horns. The burning torches are bright, and seem to divide the dim secret room into two parts. The person opposite is standing in the dark, and in the dim light, his appearance can be vaguely seen.
He was a tall, imposing young man, draped in a dark brocade rat-fur cloak, revealing a purple-gold brocade robe, deerskin boots, and a dark gold belt. Even in this gloomy place, his air of nobility was unmistakable. He wore a half-silver mask, its color distinctly cold, yet under the torchlight of the secret room, it radiated a warmth that drew one in.
Xie Changchao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly called out, "Your Highness Prince Rui!"
He had seen this man at the tribute banquet of Ming Qi and had also met him at the Crown Prince's banquet in the Eastern Palace. Who else could the man wearing the half-silver mask be but Prince Rui of Daliang? But how could Prince Rui of Daliang suddenly appear in this place? Xie Changchao's heart suddenly sank. He asked, "How do you know this place?"
This was the secret room within the Lin'an Marquisate. Even if Prince Rui possessed the formidable ability to infiltrate, he would never find it. Xie Ding knew nothing about this secret room. Only Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao knew about it in the entire Lin'an Marquisate. How could Prince Rui of Daliang, an outsider, have discovered this place? Xie Changwu would surely not tell anyone.
The moment Shen Miao saw Xie Jingxing appear, she heaved a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat relieved. She could certainly fight Xie Changchao to the death, and she might also be able to think of other ways to escape, but there was always a chance of an accident. If something went wrong, the future would be much more dangerous. Xie Jingxing's appearance seemed to have omitted even the word "accident."
"Tell me! How do you know there's a secret room here?" Xie Changchao suddenly felt a surge of unease. This unease wasn't caused by fear that the other party was King Rui of Daliang. It was an instinctive, deep-seated fear. However, only he and Xie Changwu knew about this secret room; not even his subordinates knew about it. He had come alone today, so it was too late to escape.
"There's nothing I don't know about the Lin'an Marquis Mansion."
The purple-robed youth slowly stepped forward, emerging from the darkness into the light. The silver mask shimmered in the brighter torchlight. He curled his lips, a smile that was unclear whether mocking or genuine, and slowly reached out to brush the mask from his face.
Shen Miao was slightly startled, Xie Changchao swallowed his saliva and stared at the purple-clothed young man in front of him without blinking.
The silver mask was removed.
The lights climbed up the young man's almost perfect face inch by inch. His features were so handsome that even the scorching sun pales in comparison. His mischievous expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling remained the same as before. His peach blossom eyes had become a little indifferent and a little deep after years of precipitation, subduing the frivolity of his youth. But they were like a small boat sailing on the starry river in the dark night. Looking down, his eyes were still full of brightness.
Xie Jingxing is more handsome, calmer, more unfathomable, and more dangerous than he was two years ago.
It was Xie Jingxing who was pierced by thousands of arrows on the battlefield and skinned and dried, and he had already become a sigh in the history of Ming Qi.
Xie Changchao couldn't believe his eyes.
He shouted, "Xie Jingxing! Xie Jingxing!"
