Chapter 141 The Prince Appears

Zhu Cijiong was a little brat with a stubborn temper. He even threatened that victory or defeat might be decided in the matter of life or death!

He kept pressing forward step by step, and even used his sword to make deadly moves, attacking Xiao Lang's vital points!

While Xiao Jingchuan was dealing with the situation in a hurry, he suddenly saw a flower bed behind him. He then quickly thought of a way out and circled the flower bed, starting to retreat while parrying the attacks.

"Xiao Jingchuan!"

"Don't run if you have the guts!" Zhu Cijiong chased after him with a sword in his hand. However, due to his short stature, he had no speed advantage. He became furious and started to curse at the top of his voice!
"nonsense!"

"If you don't run, you'll chop me down!" Xiao Lang replied, and then he turned to Qiu Zhizhong for help.

"Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), what the hell are you doing?"

"I was chopped down!"

"Why don't you give me a hand!"

"Can you show some loyalty?!" Xiao Lang looked embarrassed.

"Hahaha"

"Third Prince, just give him a couple of strikes to vent your anger!"

"Leave me alive, ah!"

"Leave me alive, just give me, Qiu Zhizhong, some face!"

Zhizhong smiled and seemed not to be worried about Xiaolang's safety at all, but instead started to joke with Zhu Cijiong.

"Okay!"

"We can't not give Brother Zhizhong face!"

"Xiao Jingchuan, if you know what's best for you, stop right there!"

"I'll just chop you twice with my sword, and the matter will be over!"

"stop!"

Zhu Cijiong was smart and he borrowed Zhizhong's words to trick Xiao Lang into stopping.

"You can pull it down!"

"Your Highness, you are such a cunning person!"

"The sword style is also very sinister!"

"Who is the master?"

"Tell me, I, Old Xiao, will chop him to pieces tomorrow!"

Xiao Lang kept walking and mocking.

Moreover, he now intends to raise the pitch a few degrees so that the voice can spread and attract the people who should come!
After all, no matter what, the Third Prince was still chasing and biting him, and he couldn't really do anything to him, so he had no choice but to shout loudly, asking him to stop!
Qiu Zhizhong was unwilling to help openly, he must have understood the current situation, so he stepped aside and did not get involved for the time being!

Whoosh!
Suddenly at this moment, Zhu Cijiong saw that he could not catch up, so he threw out his sword!
The sword was swung towards Xiao Lang's face!

Xiao Jingchuan dodged in a hurry and accidentally flew into the flower garden!
Zhu Cijiong, who lost his sword, did not stop, but went into the flower garden and began to attack Xiao Lang with his fists and feet!
Suddenly, petals flew everywhere and grass leaves scattered in the flowerbed!

Two punches!

After Xiao Jingchuan blocked the young prince's attack at close range, he used all his strength to throw two punches, causing Zhu Cijiong to take several steps back.

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Gu Changting beside him and saw that his fingers moved slightly, sending a signal to him!

In fact, from the very beginning of this fight, Xiao Jingchuan exchanged glances with Chang Ting, asking him to pay attention to the movements around the courtyard so that he could send a secret message.

"Your Highness, your boxing skills are pretty good, but you're too impetuous, and you can't control your movements and keep your body steady!"

"May I ask what your ambition is in the future? You are so young, and you are practicing martial arts so hard. Are you going to join the army?!"

Xiao Lang took the opportunity to shock the opponent and asked some questions.

"Puh!" Zhu Cijiong spat out the grass leaves that flew into his mouth.

"So what if you want to join the army?!"

"I want to be a general!"

"Destroy the traitors!"

"Watch the trick!"

After saying this, Zhu Cijiong shouted and went forward again, persevering!
"Hahaha"

"Okay, okay!"

"Your Highness has great ambitions!"

"The Crown Prince has gone south to rule the world!"

"When His Highness the Third Prince grows up and has more experience, he will be able to command the troops of the world and conquer all directions in due time!"

"It's also a good story!"

"Your Highness, when I return, I will pick some good fighters from the army to help you improve your martial arts. How do you think?"

Xiao Jingchuan continued to fight and talk.

"Humph!"

"Fists and kicks?!" "You're still looking down on me!"

"If I want to learn, I'd rather learn how to be a ten thousand enemy!" Zhu Cijiong followed suit.

With a punch, Xiao Jingchuan tried to restrain his hands and feet.

"Haha, okay!"

"In this case, I will make an appointment with His Highness!"

"Three years!"

"Three years later, Your Highness will be fifteen years old and follow me to the army!"

"I will personally teach Your Highness what it means to be an enemy of ten thousand men!"

From then on, Xiao Jingchuan and Zhu Cijiong looked at each other passionately.

At this juncture, I wonder how much sincerity there is in Xiao Lang’s words!

This agreement can be regarded as destiny!

"The third one!"

"Alright! Stop it!"

"You are no match for General Xiao!"

"Didn't you see that they were giving in everywhere?!"

Suddenly, Crown Prince Zhu Cilang finally appeared at the corner door on the west side of the inner courtyard behind Xiao Jingchuan and put an end to the farce!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijiong withdrew his hand angrily.

"Humph!"

"Xiao Jingchuan!"

"You said a three-year agreement!"

"I, Zhu Cijiong, am waiting!"

After saying this, he walked out of the flower garden in a panic, picked up the sword that had fallen beside him, brushed past the prince's brother, and without stopping, he ran straight to the corner gate and left the scene!
"General Xiao Jingchuan pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

As the prince approached the three people, Xiao, Qiu and Gu hurriedly greeted them.

"No need, get up!"

"The third child is still young and doesn't know much."

"General Xiao, you won't argue with him!"

Crown Prince Zhu Cilang spoke coldly, with hidden meaning in his words, intending to suppress Xiao Lang.

"Haha, His Majesty the Third Prince has a free and easy temperament, and is upright and martial. This General is also greatly shocked!"

"In time, who knows, he might become the King of England!"

"Every word I say is from the heart!"

"If the prince is at ease, then in two years, when the little prince is older, let him follow me!"

"I will do my best to help your Highness succeed!"

Xiao Jingchuan pleaded with a selfless look.

He and the prince were apparently being polite, but in fact they were testing each other with deep meaning!

After all, since leaving the capital, Qiu Zhizhong has always been the mediator between Xiao Lang and the prince, and there are not many opportunities for the two to meet directly.

During Xiao Jingchuan's trip to Yi County and Lai Shui, he even sent away a group of ministers around the prince. Although this move prevented the civil officials around the prince from gossiping, to be honest, it also caused the prince to feel resentful of Xiao Jingchuan, leading to a misjudgment and misunderstanding.

"Oh, the third brother is still young, who knows what he will be like in the future. General Xiao is planning too far ahead!" the prince replied.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't seen you for a few days. Is your cough getting better?!"

"Is Doctor Hu from Jimin Hall still useful?!"

Seeing the prince's aggressive tone, Xiao Lang felt very uncomfortable, so he changed the subject of Zhu Cijiong and asked about his illness instead, thinking that such a casual greeting would not make him embarrassed!

"Haha, Doctor Hu, his medical skills are average, but he has a clever tongue!"

"Okay, let's not talk about him. My illness won't be cured in a day or two!"

"General Xiao, did you gain any new gains during this expedition?!"

Zhu Cilang seemed unwilling to talk more about his own illness, and instead asked about Yan Xiaolang's situation when he went out.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan was at a loss. Just as he was about to speak out and report in detail, the prince suddenly waved his hand.

"Oh, no hurry. I will be in charge of the layout and furnishings of the new Scholars' Building of Kowloon Academy."

"General Xiao must have never seen it before, why don't you follow me in and take a look?!"
