Chapter 401 I will handle it
Ling Fengxun was wearing a black robe. His tall and slender figure was like a natural clothes hanger. The black python robe made him look even more majestic.
"Your Highness, please."
The prosperity of the imperial city of Nanqi Kingdom was more prosperous than that of Beiling Kingdom. Because of the climate, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Beiling Kingdom in this month.
But Nanqi seemed to be unaffected.
Baili Yunhe led the way in front, smiling and saying to An Yunxi on the side: "If there is a chance, I will take you to Lingyuetan and Baihua Valley not far from the imperial city. Even in the cold winter, there are hundreds of flowers blooming there."
An Yunxi blinked: "Okay, I'll trouble my third brother to lead the way then."
Baili Yunhe was obviously in a very good mood, and the smile in his eyes became deeper.
However, just after the two of them followed Baili Yunhe into the city gate smoothly, the guards behind them were stopped.
"Except for the Prince Regent of Beiling and the Princess, no one else is allowed to enter the imperial city!"
The general guarding the gate led a number of people to stand out and block the way of all the guards behind.
Baili Yunhe's expression changed slightly, and he immediately pulled the reins, turned around with the horse, and turned to look.
"What's going on?"
He asked, and the general guarding the gate came over respectfully to salute.
"Your Highness, calm down. This is the emperor's order, but you can rest assured that the emperor will arrange for people to settle down these people from Beiling Kingdom and will not treat them harshly. As for the safety of the regent and the princess, my Nanqi Kingdom will definitely guarantee it and will never allow anyone to harm them!"
Baili Yunhe frowned. His father's actions were obviously a warning to Beiling Kingdom.
The people of Beiling Kingdom showed anger on their faces.
The leader, Yingfeng, rode up on his horse. He was dressed in black, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He said with a very cold face: "We are all the prince's personal guards. It is our duty to protect the safety of the prince and the princess. We will never allow the prince and the princess to be exposed to danger!"
The people of Beiling Kingdom who followed Yingfeng instantly put one hand on the hilt of the sword at their waist.
It seemed that as long as the prince gave an order, they would take action in public.
The general showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
"After all, this is the order of the emperor, and we are also acting in accordance with the will. Please don't make it difficult for us."
These words made the faces of the people of Beiling Kingdom even more angry.
Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi were riding horses and listening beside them. Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his dark blue eyes.
Just as he was about to step forward, An Yunxi stretched out her hand and grabbed his wrist. She shook her head at Ling Fengxun with a smile on her lips.
She was not panicked at all, because before she came, her third brother told her to come to the wedding banquet with peace of mind, and he would take care of everything.
She believed in her third brother and would never let her and the prince suffer, so she would cooperate with the prince in his actions.
Everyone only heard Baili Yunhe speak.
"Anyone who comes is a guest. There is no reason to turn away guests. Just let them in!"
Upon hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the commander guarding the gate showed an embarrassment on his face.
"Your Highness, this is not acceptable. This is the Emperor's order."
He hadn't finished speaking.
There was a flash of silver light in front of their eyes.
Everyone saw that Baili Yunhe actually reached out and pulled out the sword from the waist of a guard beside him, and then slashed the commander's neck with the sword.
The commander's eyes widened, and he covered his throat that was constantly bleeding with his hands in disbelief. After a moment, his body softened and fell to the ground, lifeless.
The long sword in Baili Yunhe's hand was still dripping with blood. He just looked around with a cold gaze, and then asked again: "I said let them go, didn't you hear it?"
A gatekeeper saw the prince's cold gaze and immediately made way. The rest of the people also took action, quickly retreated, cleared the entrance to the gate, and made way.
When Yingfeng saw this scene, his eyes were full of surprise.
When he saw the prince and princess sitting on horseback, so calm and composed, Yingfeng's heart was full of admiration!
The fact that the Crown Prince of Nanqi could kill the gatekeeper with his own hands showed that the Crown Prince of Nanqi really regarded them as distinguished guests.
He raised his hand gently and called out to the thousands of people behind him.
"Enter the city!"
There were a total of three thousand guards in this densely packed team.
As soon as they entered the streets of the imperial city, the soldiers of Beiling Kingdom exuded a murderous and cold temperament, and the frightened people on both sides were shocked and dared not make a sound.
The footsteps gave people a feeling of neatness and comfort, which showed that the soldiers of Beiling Kingdom were well-trained.
Baili Yunhe was still walking in front, accompanying An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun. He said with a little apology in his eyes: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ling Fengxun was also very polite, "It's okay, it's just a small matter, and it also allows me to see the sincerity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them talked back and forth, really like guests.
An Yunxi just smiled lightly on the side and did not interrupt. When she was holding the reins, she had nothing to do and her eyes swept across the streets and alleys on both sides.
Many people were looking here.
She was still in the crowd, and saw many girls, covering their faces with handkerchiefs, looking at the two men who were talking to An Yunxi with red cheeks.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't feel surprised.
After all, these two people can be said to be the most noble people of this age in the two countries.
From the city gate to the palace, at the current speed, it would take at least half an hour to walk, and the officers and soldiers on both sides have been leading the way.
Just as they passed a corner, a cold light suddenly flashed.
The cold arrow flew straight towards Ling Fengxun.
However, Ling Fengxun, who discovered this cold light, did not dodge or avoid it. He did not shake on the horse's back. The shadow wind behind him suddenly flew up from the horse's back, pulled out the long sword at his waist and split the short arrow.
The short arrow was blocked, turned and hit the ground. The assassin hiding in the attic saw that the attack missed and immediately turned around and ran away.
Baili Yunhe narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Chase, kill without mercy!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
In an instant, a group of guards carrying weapons chased in the direction the man fled.
The people in the crowd noticed that there was danger around them, and their original mood of watching the excitement suddenly disappeared.
Some people wanted to retreat, but at this time, some chaos occurred in the crowd.
"Ah, someone was killed! Someone was killed!"
A woman's scream came from a crowd not far away.
Everyone immediately looked over and saw that there was already chaos there.
Countless people were crowding and retreating, and there was a middle-aged man covered in blood lying on the ground.
The guards of the Southern Qi Kingdom immediately drew their swords to prevent anyone from endangering the people they were protecting.
Baili Yunhe's eyes were full of coldness. He had arranged so many things. If these people who came to cause trouble could still escape, he, the emperor who had unified the world in his previous life, would have been in vain!
"Prince, you and Yun Xi continue to walk towards the palace. I will take care of the things here."
