Chapter 98

White Fox Face, Did You Serve the Prince of Qin?

The two of them did have doubts.

Ying Changqing was merely a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, who was married to a princess of the Northern Liang Dynasty, and held no real power.

No matter how strong he is personally, he shouldn't receive this kind of special treatment.

After receiving the message last night, the prince immediately summoned Xu Fengnian and sent him to lead a group of people to travel overnight, arriving in Quancheng at dawn.

The prince attaches such importance to this matter; even the emperor's visit wouldn't elicit such a response.

However, both men were soldiers who understood the absolute authority of military orders and were loyal to the Xu family.

So despite their doubts, they nodded solemnly after hearing the Crown Prince's instructions.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely fulfill His Highness's orders."

Xu Fengnian nodded slightly after hearing this.

With a wave of his hand, he shouted to the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry soldiers behind him, "Follow me into the city to welcome my brother-in-law and show him the might of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry!"

The people outside the city gate became even more curious after hearing Xu Fengnian's words.

The Crown Prince asked, "Brother-in-law, is there really someone in the city who is the princess's husband?"

This is a question that everyone wants to know the answer to.

Everyone wants to know who the person the Crown Prince calls his brother-in-law is.

Some people even followed Xu Fengnian, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

……

Outside the inn.

Xu Fengnian stood in the middle, with Chu Lushan and Xu Yanbing standing on his left and right, closely following behind him.

Behind them, a thousand Snow Dragon Cavalrymen stood in neat rows, exuding a powerful aura.

"Luqiu'er, wait at the door."

"Uncle Xu, come with me to see my brother-in-law."

After Xu Fengnian gave the instructions, Xu Yanbing and Chu Lushan both nodded in agreement.

This mission was personally arranged by Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, and they dared not disobey.

Feeling displeased, they thought Ying Changqing was putting on airs too much and insisted that they personally come to invite him.

This is not the territory of the Qin Empire, but the territory of the Northern Liang.

Xu Fengnian didn't explain much, because Li Yang had spies everywhere in Beiliang, and many things had to be done in secret.

at this time.

The street outside the inn was packed with people; almost all the townspeople had come.

"Is His Highness's brother-in-law staying at the Spring City Inn? We'll see his true face soon."

"Hmph, I'd like to see who is worthy of our Northern Liang's princess."

Everyone was speculating about who could be personally greeted by the Crown Prince and who was qualified to marry the Princess of Beiliang.

Xu Fengnian entered the inn, and the waiter immediately came forward to greet him.

"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at the inn or just have some tea?"

The innkeeper respectfully asked Xu Fengnian and Xu Yanbing, thinking that the two looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

"You two look familiar, have I seen you before...?"

The boss wanted to ask a few more questions to find out their identities.

Xu Yanbing immediately took out his identity token.

"Official business at the Northern Liang Prince's residence. Where are the three people who stayed at the inn last night?"

Upon seeing the token, the boss was immediately terrified and bowed deeply.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, those three are resting in the upper room of the penthouse and have not yet woken up."

At this point, the boss asked in a panic, "Sir, what did they do wrong, or...?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Boss, don't be afraid."

"I am Xu Fengnian, the heir apparent of Beiliang. My brother-in-law was among those three people yesterday. I've come to take him back to the palace."

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper's eyes widened suddenly.

He realized yesterday that the three men were no ordinary people; otherwise, the city's garrison commander wouldn't have been so careful in serving them.

But to my surprise, my previous judgment had greatly underestimated their true identities.

He was glad he hadn't been negligent yesterday, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

Seeing that the innkeeper was no longer so afraid, Xu Fengnian said, "Boss, take me to my brother-in-law's room."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will take you there immediately."

The innkeeper immediately jogged up and led Xu Fengnian and Xu Yanbing up to the second floor.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock sounded on the door, and Ying Changqing, who was practicing the Great Sun Golden Body Technique by the window, slowly opened his eyes.

"Who?"

"Brother-in-law, it's me, Xu Fengnian. Are you up?"

Xu Fengnian's gentle voice came from outside the door; he didn't want to disturb Ying Changqing's quiet cultivation.

"Hold on."

Ying Changqing readily agreed.

The sound of someone getting dressed could be heard coming from inside the room.

Soon, Ying Changqing pushed open the door.

This was the first time Xu Yanbing had ever seen his own son, the Third Prince of the Qin Empire, treat the other party with such respect, even calling him "brother-in-law."

He saw a man dressed in black walk out amicably.

Xu Yanbing nodded.

Admittedly, this man is very handsome, even more so than the prince.

You can tell he comes from a good family just by looking at him; his innate nobility is so striking that it makes people afraid to look at him.

Xu Yanbing was very satisfied.

He had fought alongside Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, for many years and had long regarded the Xu family as his own.

Therefore, she was particularly concerned about the husband of Princess Chang, Xu Zhihu.

He feared that Ying Changqing was a useless playboy who would cause Xu Zhihu to suffer in the future.

Xu Yanbing judged Ying Changqing to be no ordinary person based solely on his demeanor.

Ying Changqing glanced at Xu Yanbing and asked coldly, "You've arrived quite early."

He turned to Xu Fengnian, his tone clearly impatient.

Xu Fengnian said helplessly, "I didn't want to come so early either."

"It was that old bastard Xu Xiao who forced me to travel overnight, eager to see your Xu family's benefactor."

Xu Fengnian leaned closer to Ying Changqing and lowered his voice, "Brother-in-law, don't you want to meet my eldest sister soon?"

"My sister is an absolute beauty; I guarantee you'll never forget her."

He finished speaking without waiting for Ying Changqing's response.

Xu Fengnian suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, I forgot."

He pointed to Xu Yanbing and introduced him: "This is Uncle Xu, Xu Yanbing."

Xu Yanbing cupped his hands and said, "I am Xu Yanbing, and I greet Prince Ying Changqing."

Xu Fengnian introduced himself, and Xu Yanbing bowed to Ying Changqing with clasped hands.

"I have long known of General Xu's name."

Ying Changqing returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

At that moment, the doors on both sides of his room opened simultaneously.

Nangong Pushe and Bai Hehuai were awakened by the voices coming from the doorway.

Ying Changqing nodded to Nangong Pushe, but when he saw Bai Hehuai, he froze.

Bai Hehuai was dressed in white and red brocade, and her openwork silver high heels and white stockings immediately caught Ying Changqing's eye.

Xu Fengnian's face suddenly showed surprise when he saw Nangong Pushe.

"Are you White Fox Face?"

Xu Fengnian spoke with some uncertainty in his tone.

Nangong Pushe used to wear men's clothing when protecting him.

Therefore, Xu Fengnian was never sure of her gender.

Now that he saw her dressed as a woman again, Xu Fengnian was stunned by her beauty.

"It's Minister Nangong!"

Nangong Pushe walked up to Ying Changqing and said directly to Xu Fengnian, "Miss Nangong Pushe, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Xu Fengnian smiled awkwardly and greeted him again.

Then he turned to look at Ying Changqing and gave him a thumbs up with great admiration.

His expression clearly showed: Brother-in-law, you're amazing.

Ying Changqing remained calm and did not speak.

Seeing Ying Changqing so calm, as if it were just a trivial matter, Xu Fengnian admired him even more, but important matters came first.

He quickly asked Ying Changqing, "Brother-in-law, shall we leave now?"

Ying Changqing nodded and said, "Let's go."

"I also want to see what kind of person Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, really is."

After saying that, Ying Changqing, along with Nangong Pushe, Bai Hehuai, and Xu Fengnian, went downstairs.

I just got downstairs.

The onlookers were all surprised to see Ying Changqing and Xu Fengnian come out together, with Ying Changqing even walking in front.

After all, Xu Fengnian is the heir of Beiliang, and everyone knows he's a spoiled brat!

Someone actually dared to walk in front of him?
