Chapter 179(1/2)
"Do you think that if you stop me, I will have no other way?"
"Lan'er--"
Xiao Jingyu called Lan'er who was guarding outside.
When Lan'er saw Xiao Jingyu and Chu Huan's current actions, she couldn't help but lower her head, "What are your instructions?"
"The princess' acupoint was lit."
Lan'er has practiced martial arts, so she can naturally do the simple thing of pinning acupoints and immobilizing it.
Lan'er didn't ask much and walked directly behind Chu Huan. If Chu Huan wanted to avoid Lan'er, she could only let go of Xiao Jingyu, but if she let go of Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Jingyu would leave directly.
But even if she didn't let go, she would still be unable to stop Xiao Jingyu when Lan'er clicked on her acupoint.
When Chu Huan was thinking, Xiao Jingyu had already broken free from Chu Huan's comfort. Before Lan'er took action, Xiao Jingyu pointed Chu Huan's acupoint first.
Xiao Jingyu picked Chu Huan up and then put her on the couch.
"Xiao Jingyu, what are you going to do? Unlock the acupoints for me."
"When I catch Chu Heng, I will naturally come back to untie your acupoints. Now, in order to prevent you from getting in the way, you can only lie down here first."
"Until I come back, I will not be allowed to untie the princess' acupoints."
After Xiao Jingyu explained to Lan'er, no matter how Chu Huan called him, he did not turn around and walked out directly.
"Lan'er, please help me untie the acupoints. I must stop him."
"Your Highness has an order, and Lan'er has no choice but to feel wronged the princess."
Xiao Jingyu led his troops to search the place where Chu Heng found his traces.
It was a very ordinary inn. Logically speaking, when they searched the inn before, if Chu Heng was here, they should have been able to find someone.
But why did nothing be found at that time, but now it is found?
"Are you sure it's here?"
The other people in the inn had never seen such a formation. They thought there was something serious about it, and they were afraid that it would affect them, so they rushed to escape one by one.
But Xiao Jingyu's people had surrounded the inn. They were worried that Chu Heng would mingle among these people, so they could not let any of these people go.
Xiao Jingyu walked into the inn. He glanced at the people who were about to leave, but did not see Chu Heng.
Just then, a man in black walked out, and the man didn't look like a native of Beixiao.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, have been waiting on the top floor for a long time."
Chu Heng's subordinates have already appeared, so Chu Heng is really here.
Seeing that they could catch Chu Heng immediately, the deputy generals couldn't wait to lead the people to rush forward, "Come on, go up to the top floor, and catch Prince Nan Chu--"
The stairs were so narrow that Chu Heng's entourage could stop all the Beixiao soldiers when he stood alone. After he repelled a few, Xiao Jingyu asked the soldiers to stop.
"My Crown Prince only saw His Highness Yu, I wonder if His Highness Yu has the courage to go up."
Xiao Jingyu narrowed his eyes. He didn't like the feeling of being sovereign by others. He pulled out the sword on his waist and pressed it against the man's neck.
"Believe it or not, I will kill you now. It depends on how you stop my soldiers."
The man showed no fear, as if the sword Xiao Jingyu pressed against his neck did not exist.
"Your Highness Yu, you can kill me, but do you think my Highness really can't notice it?"
"He only gave His Highness Yu a stick of incense. If His Highness Yu doesn't go up, my crown prince will leave."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't deliberately revealed his whereabouts today, would you think you could really find us?"
Xiao Jingyu knew that what this person said was true. If Chu Heng had not done it on purpose, he might have really not been able to find his whereabouts.
Including Chu Huan, he had been blocking him just now, because Chu Huan knew very well that as long as he didn't go, his subordinates would not be able to capture Chu Heng. If he went, there would be a glimmer of chance.
"Your Highness, this is probably a trap set by the people of Nan Chu, think twice."
Xiao Jingyu waved his hand and signaled the deputy general not to say anything anymore, he had already made a decision.
Xiao Jingyu took back his sword and walked upstairs, "No one is allowed to come up without my orders. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"
He wanted to know what trick Chu Heng was going to play with him.
Chu Heng looked at the incense stick in front of him that was about to burn out. He had already gotten up and was about to leave, but the moment he got up, Xiao Jingyu pushed the door and walked in.
"Your Highness Yu is just in time, and Chu Heng is just about to leave."
Xiao Jingyu looked at the jar on the table, and there was only dust left. Fortunately, he didn't hesitate much just now.
"What exactly does His Royal Highness want to do when you find me in this way?"
"I don't do anything, I just want to make friends with His Highness Yu."
Chu Heng poured two cups of tea and handed one of them to Xiao Jingyu.
Although Xiao Jingyu took it, he didn't drink it. Chu Huan planned this way last time. Chu Huan and Chu Heng were brothers and sisters, and he did not guarantee that Chu Heng would not use the same method.
Xiao Jingyu's worries this time were actually redundant, and Chu Heng did not put anything in the tea.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince just say it right. I don't have time to spend time with Youth the Crown Prince here."
Xiao Jingyu did not lie, he really had to go back soon, after all, Chu Huan's acupoints were still lit.
"It is better to have more friends than one enemy. Chu Heng and His Highness Yu have no deep hatred. There is no need to meet each other like seeing an enemy every time they meet."
"Have you got the East-West Crown Prince? What is the relationship between me and Marquis Jian'an? Your Highness should have always been aware of it. Your Highness thinks we can become friends?"
Xiao Jingyu had thought about many reasons why Chu Heng came up, but he definitely didn't expect it to make peace with him.
Although he and Marquis of Jian'an are mutually exploiting each other, they are still closer than Chu Heng. What benefits can he get when he is a friend of Chu Heng?
"I know, but Your Highness Yu is a person who recognizes interests. If I can bring greater benefits to Your Highness Yu, then Your Highness Yu naturally knows how to choose, not to mention that our relationship should be closer now."
There is a Chu Huan between Chu Heng and Xiao Jingyu. According to seniority, Xiao Jingyu should follow Chu Huan and call Chu Heng the Fourth Brother.
"What can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring to me?"
Xiao Jingyu's plan to lead troops to attack Nan Chu was because Chu Yu and Lin Qingwan failed. Lin Qingwan was Chu Heng's concubine, and he didn't believe Chu Heng would not know about this.
"As long as Chu Heng doesn't help His Highness An, wouldn't he just give His Highness Yu what you want most?"
Xiao Jingyu didn't know how to refute Chu Heng said this. Xiao Jing'an's current power is not much worse than him. What he lacks is an assistant. If Chu Heng secretly helped Xiao Jing'an, he might not be Xiao Jing'an's opponent.
But if Chu Heng doesn’t help Xiao Jingan, would he have to be on his side?
"Your Highness Yu Wang doesn't have to doubt Chu Heng. Chu Heng took those letters just to deal with the Marquis of Jian'an. As for Bei Xiao's state affairs, no matter what angle it is, Chu Heng will not take action."
Chu Heng was indeed not interested in Beixiao's national affairs, but if Xiao Jingyu insisted on being an enemy of him, he wouldn't mind doing this extra thing to keep himself busy.
Every word Chu Heng seemed to be asking for peace from Xiao Jingyu, but in fact every word he said was threatening Xiao Jingyu.
If Xiao Jingyu promised him, he would be willing to live in harmony with Xiao Jingyu, so that he would be good to both of them and even Chu Huan. However, if Xiao Jingyu disagreed, the person he would meet tomorrow would be Xiao Jingan.
"I suddenly want to taste the cup of tea that His Highness poured into the crown prince."
Xiao Jingyu rubbed his fingers against the tea cup, and his eyes fell on the tea in the cup.
"I hope Chu Heng's craftsmanship can satisfy His Highness Yu."
Xiao Jingyu glanced at Chu Heng, then drank all the tea in the cup.
Even if Xiao Jingyu agreed to Chu Heng, he had already finished what they wanted to say, and he should leave.
Seeing that Xiao Jingyu turned around and was about to leave, Chu Heng still called Xiao Jingyu, and he had one last thing to say.
"Huan'er is a clear-minded woman. As long as His Highness Yu is willing to wait, she will not disappoint you."
The last time Chu Huan said to Chu Heng, Chu Heng also understood the meaning of it and the feelings that Chu Huan had always hidden.
The person Chu Huan said should be Xiao Jingyu, so he felt that it was necessary to explain this matter to Xiao Jingyu clearly.
Chu Huan just has been with him since she was a child, and no other man has ever appeared beside her, so she can easily see her thoughts and can't tell what her feelings are.
Xiao Jingyu naturally understood what Chu Heng meant, and he felt that he and Chu Huan were a little funny.
He has been threatening Chu Huan with this matter, and Chu Huan has always wanted to hide it from Chu Heng, but he didn't know that Chu Heng had known it a long time ago. I don't know what expression would Chu Huan have expressed when Chu Heng knew about this matter long ago?
"There is no need for the Prince's concern for the matter between us. The Prince's Highness should take care of his own affairs."
Xiao Jingyu left the room and walked down. He saw that the deputy general had been standing in front of Chu Heng's entourage, ready to rush up at any time.
The deputy general saw Xiao Jingyu and thought Xiao Jingyu would order them to rush forward, but Xiao Jingyu walked directly outside.
"Your Highness, we—"
"Retreat troops, unblock the imperial capital, and withdraw all those sent to guard the city gate."
The deputy general thought he had heard it wrong, but Xiao Jingyu told him that he had read it wrong. He was curious about what Chu Heng said to Xiao Jingyu, and Xiao Jingyu changed instantly.
Xiao Jingyu returned to the royal palace, and the first thing he did was to untie Chu Huan's acupoints.
But when Chu Huan saw Xiao Jingyu's first sentence, he asked, "How did you do to my fourth brother?"
Xiao Jingyu felt that he would have to wait a long time. When he first met Chu Huan at the emperor's birthday party, he felt that this woman was not simple.
"Fulai Inn, Chu Heng will leave Beixiao and return to Nanchu tomorrow. You can go and see him off."
