"Tell me quickly, what do you have in mind?" Princess Yanran asked anxiously.
Zhao Huan quietly pulled her aside and said, "Let's meet here tonight at midnight. I'll tell you then."
Well, Princess Yanran looked at him doubtfully, wondering how he would manage to leave the post station. She knew that the post station chief was quite skilled. She had tried to sneak out several times in the past few days, but was stopped every time.
"Princess, to avoid being seen, we should talk more and get closer to each other. This way, others will think we are very familiar with each other and will not be suspicious." Zhao Huan said in a low voice.
Princess Yanran looked around. The maids and servants were all looking at her, so she nodded solemnly: "Okay, Master Linghu, you come here to see me, won't they get suspicious?"
After all, she was a foreign princess whom the emperor did not want to see. Every time Zhao Huan came to see her, others would inevitably suspect their relationship.
"Well," Zhao Huan pretended to be embarrassed, "I told them that His Majesty sent me here."
Princess Yanran was shocked: "You are falsely conveying the imperial edict. You will be beheaded, do you know?"
Zhao Huan stammered, "I, I know, but I'm willing to do anything for the princess."
Damn it, this is a blatant confession, and it can be considered as taking advantage of the situation.
Princess Yanran blushed. She saw what Zhao Huan was thinking but pretended not to understand. "But this is too risky. The emperor didn't ask you to come to me, but you are using the emperor's name. If this gets known, you will be killed."
There are thousands of ways to pick up girls, but this time Zhao Huan wants to try the most direct one. Sometimes the most direct method is the most effective, provided the girl has a crush on you.
If the girl is indifferent to you, this trick will most likely fail. If the girl likes you, then don't hesitate and pretend to be a fool, just shout out loud: I like you.
"I like you!" Zhao Huan said, "I've loved you since the first time I saw you, Princess."
He wanted to see Yanran's reaction, whether it was shyness or rejection, desire or rejection, joy or rejection.
Zhao Huan felt disappointed because Princess Yanran was frowning and shaking her head.
This trick won't work, Zhao Huan thought to himself. Although he had developed a thick skin and never knew what shame was, he still failed this time.
Unexpectedly, Princess Yanran said quietly, "Mr. Linghu's generosity is profound, and I appreciate it. However, when it comes to love, I dare not ask for anything more. I can only marry the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty as a princess, hoping that he will change his mind one day. In an afterlife, I will repay your kindness."
She didn't say anything about this princess, but rather, "I'm a little girl." So she did have some feelings for Zhao Huan, but her mission kept her from overstepping the bounds. For the sake of Goryeo, she would rather sacrifice her precious life to marry the old, aged Emperor of the Song Dynasty. This was probably her last bargaining chip.
She actually had some feelings for Zhao Huan. This Song guard gave her a different feeling. Others would feel inferior when they saw her because she was a princess.
He was different. He wasn't reserved when talking to me. He seemed to treat me like an ordinary girl, not ashamed of being a princess.
Of course, Zhao Huan himself was a dog emperor, so he would naturally not be restrained when meeting the princess. This was something Princess Yanran had not expected.
Zhao Huan was secretly delighted when she heard this. She wanted to marry the emperor, but Zhao Huan didn't like it. He didn't like marrying a body without a soul. It would be too boring for two people to be together without any feelings.
That's why he sneaked to the post station. He wanted to cultivate a relationship with the princess. Only if she truly liked him would he consider marrying her. If the princess had no feelings for him at all, what would be the point of marrying a mere shell?
"So, Princess. If you don't marry the emperor, will you like me?" Zhao Huan asked.
Yanran still shook her head: "I don't know. But I don't hate you."
"Ha!" Zhao Huan laughed out loud: "I know." Then he chuckled softly: "Zi Shi, I'm still here. See you then."
Zhao Huan was floating when he left, and the war was over when he found Linghu Yunlong.
Unsurprisingly, Zhu Chengen was completely defeated. In fact, he lasted less than thirty rounds against Linghu Yunlong.
"Master Linghu, your disciple is so powerful. I admire him!" Zhu Chengen was disheartened. If his disciple was like this, there was no need to mention his master.
Zhao Huan laughed heartily. "Thank you very much, Lord Zhu. Princess Yanran has come to the capital not only to seek reinforcements, but also to hold a great secret. Your Majesty sent me here to uncover this secret. I will secretly take her out of the post station tonight. You will pretend to cooperate with me."
Zhu Chengen was skeptical: "But the order I received is..."
Zhao Huan pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom. The handwriting was crooked and distorted, which was from his handwriting: "Your Majesty's handwritten order, please read it yourself."
Zhu Chengen took it and looked at it. The imperial seal was there, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to accept the order.
So Zhao Huan whispered something to Zhu Chengen.
Zhu Chengen couldn't believe his ears: "Ah?!"
It was midnight, and the night was a bit chilly. However, Zhao Huan was somewhat excited. When he arrived at the back garden, he had already spotted Princess Yanran's pretty figure.
Zhao Huan quietly moved over and said, "Hi!"
Princess Yanran was startled: "You, why are you here just now?"
Zhao Huan said innocently, "It's not even midnight yet."
Princess Yanran was a little embarrassed: "Then, then tell me, how do we escape?"
Zhao Huan said mysteriously, "This post station is surrounded by guards. If you want to sneak out, you need three things."
Before Princess Yanran could ask what it was, Zhao Huan continued, "The key to the gate, a handwritten note, and a prosthetic leg."
"W-what?" Princess Yanran seemed to feel that she didn't understand.
"We must leave the post station in a swagger. You go and steal the gate key and the postmaster's artificial leg, and I'll take care of the handwritten order."
Princess Yanran was even more confused: "I know the key. I've sneaked into the postmaster's room several times. But what is a prosthetic leg?"
Zhao Huan patted her shoulder and said, "Go now. You only have half an hour. I'll wait for you here. Go quickly."
"Hey, you..." Princess Yanran wanted to ask more, but Zhao Huan did not give her a chance to explain and kept waving his hands to urge her.
Princess Yanran had no choice but to return to the post station. At this time, except for the guards who were patrolling outside the post station, everyone else had already rested.
Princess Yanran tiptoed to Zhu Chengen's room. Zhu Chengen was sleeping on the bed, snoring loudly.
Princess Yanran saw that the key to the door was hanging on the wall, and everything seemed to be going well.
