Xiao Shunyang looked at the white-robed man who suddenly appeared and really did not understand where this guy came from.
He had forced him back with just one move. This person’s martial arts were unfathomable.
Why did such an expert appear beside Hui An?
Was it arranged by King An?
Other than King An, Xiao Zhonghua, Xiao Shunyang could not think of anyone else who would spare no effort to protect Hui An.
Could it be that King An had secretly planned Hui An’s escape?
Did Father know?
What was the situation in the capital?
After coming to the southern border for too long, Xiao Shunyang could no longer grasp the movements of the capital.
He only knew one thing. Hui An was a princess of the Great Zhou. She could not wander among the commoners like this. He had to bring Hui An back.
Xiao Shunyang looked behind the white-robed man. “Hui An, if you really don’t want to get married, I can plead for you, but you will never leave like this! What will you do to Father and the Great Zhou’s royal family?”
Princess Hui An choked and said, “It’s useless! Do you think Third Brother didn’t plead for me? He even knelt down in the Imperial Study! Mother also cried and begged Father not to marry me to the distant southern border, but Father had already made up his mind. It’s useless no matter who begs!”
Xiao Shunyang was not willing to fight this white-robed man and tried his best to persuade Hui An to walk over herself.
“I’ll call Big Brother to plead for you. Father has always doted on you the most.
If you really refuse to marry, tell him personally. He won’t force you.”
Hui An shook his head. “I used to think that Father doted on me the most, but later on, it was first the Western Jin and then the Southern Border. Father was willing to marry me off to anyone. Only then did I understand that from the beginning, Father cared about his throne, his empire, and his power the most!”
Xiao Shunyang’s expression darkened. “Hui An!”
The man in white looked at him indifferently. “Have you said enough?”
Xiao Shunyang said coldly, “Move aside. This is our own business. Even if you were sent by King An, you should understand that you can’t use force on a prince.”
The man in white said, “Looks like you’re done.”
To a certain extent, the man in white had the same personality as Su Xiaoxiao. He would never be led by the nose.
He stopped talking nonsense with Xiao Shunyang and slashed at him.
The Rakshasa Sword was not in his hand. He was using an ordinary long sword.
Even so, the powerful sword qi still made one shudder.
Xiao Shunyang also drew his sword.
This time, he did not underestimate his enemy.
However, he was still shocked by the other party’s sword qi and could not go forward.
The third sword qi attacked. He was forced to slide back a full ten feet. His chest hurt and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He planned to attack but white-robed man’s sword was already on his neck.
“Don’t kill my second brother!” Princess Hui An said.
“When I was six years old, I shook off the palace maid and fell from the rockery. I fainted in the snow. It was Second Brother who found me and carried me back. Second Brother, I don’t want to see you injured, but please don’t force me anymore. Just pretend that you didn’t see me tonight.”
The white-robed man looked at Xiao Shunyang coldly. “She has returned your life-saving grace. Don’t appear again, or it will be your death.”
Xiao Shunyang held his painful chest and looked at Hui An with a complicated expression. He gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
“Huahua!”
Su Xiaoxiao rushed over from the other end of the alley.
Princess Hui An turned around to look at Su Xiaoxiao, her eyes red. Su Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward. “Why did you leave suddenly?”
Princess Hui An sobbed. “I bumped into my second brother.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “King Rui?”
“He’s already gone. He was…”
Princess Hui An turned her head. Where was that person in the empty alley?
At Elder Lou’s residence.
It was Ah Yong’s turn to keep watch tonight.
Ah Yong and Ah Dong were brothers who had come under the orders of the Young Master to take care of Young Master Su.
When Ah Yong came over with the medicine to change Young Master Su’s dressing, he realized that Young Master Su was not in the room.
“Strange? Where did he go? I just went to cook porridge…”
Ah Yong was muttering when the courtyard door opened and Young Master Su walked in with a pale face.
He casually inserted the sword into the scabbard at the corner of the courtyard.
“Young Master Su, did you go out?” Ah Yong came up to him. “Young Master has instructed that you can’t get out of bed. It wasn’t easy for the wound to scab over. It will be difficult if he tore it.”
Su Xuan said calmly, “There’s no need to tell your young master.”
Ah Yong said in a daze, “…Yes.”
Su Xuan entered the house.
Ah Yong came over to change his dressing.
When he took off his shirt, Ah Yong realized that his wound had torn again. His shirt was covered in mottled blood..
