Wu Yingxiong smiled slightly, his expression arrogant.
"My name is Wu Yingxiong, and my father is the Prince of Pingxi."
Li Huan feigned surprise and asked, "Prince Pingxi, Wu Sangui? You are Wu Sangui's son? Really?"
Wu Yingxiong waved his folding fan: "Genuine, no doubt about it."
Li Huan asked, "Young Prince, what exactly do you want to do?"
Wu Yingxiong said indignantly, "You ganged up on these two girls because you outnumbered them. I saw injustice and decided to help!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Young Prince, you want to lend a hand? Fine, draw your sword then!"
Wu Yingxiong quickly gave Long'er a wink.
"What are you doing?" Li Huan immediately shouted, "I told you to draw your sword, not your henchman!"
Wu Yingxiong looked a little embarrassed after being rebuked.
Because he doesn't know martial arts.
Li Huan said, "Young Prince, you were attracted to the beautiful female assassin and wanted to play the hero and save her, right?"
“I…” Wu Yingxiong’s face turned red.
Duolong shouted, "These two female assassins are the disciples of the One-Armed Nun! As for the One-Armed Nun, Your Highness should know that she is Princess Changping, the daughter of the former emperor. She has always opposed the court and is regarded as a traitor by the court!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Young Prince, you want to save the traitor's disciple? Do you intend to become an enemy of the imperial court?"
Wu Yingxiong was speechless for a moment.
Doron ordered, "Take the traitors away!"
The guards escorted Ake and Anan away quickly.
Wu Yingxiong stared at Ake's retreating figure, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Li Huan stared intently at Long'er.
"Hey buddy, your looks and build seem familiar."
Long'er waved her folding fan: "Really? We've met before?"
Li Huan said, "No, no, I've never seen your pretty face before, but I'm very familiar with your eyes."
Li Huan was naturally familiar with Long'er's eyes, as she was impersonating the Empress Dowager.
Wu Yingxiong hurriedly introduced, "This Brother Long is the most valiant general under my command!"
"Brother Fierce General!" Li Huan clasped his hands in a salute.
Long'er raised her head, her eyes filled with disdain.
Li Huan stared at Long'er's chest: "Brother Long, you truly deserve to be called a fierce general. Your pectoral muscles are so well-developed, it's enviable. I really want to..."
"What do you want to do?" Long'er's expression hardened, her tone became stern, and she covered her chest with her folding fan.
Li Huan said with a smile, "I'd really like to admire your pectoral muscles, and if it's convenient, I'd also like to touch them!"
"You scoundrel!" Long'er shouted angrily, her face slightly flushed.
Li Huan said, "Brother Long, don't get excited. You've developed such well-developed pectoral muscles, shouldn't men be allowed to admire them? What's wrong with appreciating them?"
Wu Yingxiong hurriedly said, "By the way, who are you? How dare you speak to Xiao Wang like that!"
Li Huan coughed a few times, straightened his chest, and continued to stare at Long'er's chest.
Duolong hurriedly introduced, "This is Grand Secretary of the Imperial Academy, Duke of Luding, Lord Li Huan!"
Wu Yingxiong was shocked and instinctively took a half step back.
"You...you are Li Huan..."
Long'er was not surprised; she looked at Li Huan with icy eyes.
Li Huan chuckled a few times: "I am Li Huan. Since the young prince is visiting the capital, I should select a few pretty girls for you to keep the young prince and the fierce general company drinking and having a good time!"
"No need!" Wu Yingxiong said sternly, turning and walking away.
"Holy crap, so arrogant! What a load of rubbish! He's clearly asking for it! Just because he's Wu Sangui's son doesn't mean he's any better!"
Wei Xiaobao angrily cursed.
Long'er snorted coldly and followed Wu Yingxiong away.
...
Half an hour later.
cell.
Li Huan walked down the steps and stood in front of the cage.
"Wei Xiaobao!" Ake called out.
Li Huan laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, I am Li Huan, not Wei Xiaobao!"
"You're Li Huan?" Ake's beautiful eyes widened.
Li Huan said, "I'm sorry, it was at the Lichun brothel at the time, there were too many people around, I couldn't explain it to you..."
"You scoundrel!" Anan cursed. "What are you trying to explain?"
Li Huan said, "Actually, I have another identity. I wonder if you two ladies can keep it a secret after I tell you?"
Ake asked, "What is your identity?"
Anan quickly reminded her, "Senior sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He's full of lies; not a single word of the truth is out of him!"
Li Huan smiled calmly and took out a golden token from his waist pouch.
"Look, what is this?"
Ake and Anan approached and examined the area closely.
"By imperial decree, I am setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches!" Ake read out the words on the golden token.
Li Huan quickly said, "I'm sorry, I took the wrong token."
He quickly put the golden token into his waist pouch, took out the Heaven and Earth Society's token, and showed it to Ake.
"The leader of the Green Wood Hall?" Ake's eyes widened.
Anan asked suspiciously, "You killed the leader of the Green Wood Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society and took his token for yourself?"
Li Huan was both amused and exasperated: "Please, can you stop having such a vivid imagination! This token was personally bestowed upon me by Chen Jinnan, the Grand Master of the Heaven and Earth Society, who ordered me to take charge of the Green Wood Hall!"
Ake exclaimed in surprise, "So you're a member of the Heaven and Earth Society!"
Li Huan said, "Hey, keep your voice down, don't let the guards outside hear!"
Anan reminded her again, "Senior sister, don't trust him too easily; the token might be fake!"
Li Huan said helplessly, "Junior Sister, you are too suspicious. In this world, who would risk having their head chopped off to idly pretend to be a member of the Heaven and Earth Society?"
Anan had no rebuttal.
Ake said, "Alright, I'll believe you for now!"
Li Huan said, "The Heaven and Earth Society has a good relationship with the One-Armed Nun. The Grand Master often mentions the One-Armed Nun and praises her for teaching two brave and resourceful disciples."
Ake's face flushed slightly: "Master Li, you flatter me. My junior sister and I lacked experience in the martial world, which is why we were captured alive..."
Li Huan laughed and said, "This matter cannot be blamed on your good experience, nor on the One-Armed Nun's poor information. It's mainly because I hid myself too well. Apart from the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, no one knows my true identity!"
Ake hurriedly asked, "I didn't know that Master Li has come to offer any guidance?"
Li Huan said, "Given the current situation, what advice can I offer? Of course, I'm here to save you two!"
Upon hearing this, Ake and Anan's eyes lit up.
How to save them?
Li Huan said, "From now on, you two must do as I say and have complete faith in me in order to escape from prison safely!"
Ake nodded: "Alright, please give your instructions, Hall Master Li!"
Li Huan said in a low voice, "I'll find two sets of guards' clothes for you to wear first, and then I'll use a deceptive plan to take you out of the prison and hide you in my house for the time being."
"Once things calm down, I'll find a suitable opportunity to secretly send you two out of the city..."
After listening, Ake and Anan nodded repeatedly.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Ake, you're quite tall, so when we go out later, you should bend over to avoid attracting attention."
Ake said, "Don't worry, Hall Master Li, I've got it."
Li Huan stared at Anan's collar: "Excuse my bluntness, but it's too high up here. Tie it up with a strip of cloth later to make it less conspicuous!"
Instantly, Anan's face turned red with embarrassment.
After giving his instructions, Li Huan rushed out of the cell...
