After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Xiao Yuheng and Xu Qingqing were discussing why the northern barbarians wanted to kill Prince An, while Wang Dahu and He Anran were confused.

He Anran scratched his head, turned to Wang Dahu and asked, "Brother Wang, did you understand what they said?"

Wang Dahu shook his head in bewilderment: "I didn't quite understand either..."

Just when Xu Qingqing was hesitating whether to tell him the news that the northern barbarians were trying to assassinate King An, King An took the initiative to come to the door. After hearing the report from the attendant, Xu Qingqing hurried out to greet him.

"How come Your Highness Prince An has time to come and discuss leisure with us?" Xu Qingqing asked softly, looking at Prince An in front of her.

Prince An's gaze lingered on Xu Qingqing for a moment, then he glanced at Xiao Yuheng who was following closely behind her, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Hahaha, Miss Xu, I came here this time specifically to thank you."

"Oh?" Xu Qingqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard that. She thought to herself that it seemed that Prince An must have important matters to discuss with her during his visit. So she raised her hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Prince An, please follow me inside to talk."

As soon as he arrived at the room, Prince An bowed to Xu Qingqing and said, "Shiyuan thanks Sect Master Xu for saving my life that day."

Xu Qingqing dodged quickly: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. It was just a coincidence that I saved His Royal Highness Prince An that day. I wonder why His Royal Highness Prince An appeared in Northern Xinjiang? And was assassinated here? If Dudu hadn't brought him back that day, you would really..."

Everyone present understood the unspoken meaning.

After all, when Prince An fell to the ground that day, he thought his life was over, but he never thought that he would wake up again.

He was also very grateful to Xu Qingqing and the people of Xiaoyao Sect who saved him.

As an idle prince, he only needs to read books and practice calligraphy all day, and go out with a few friends from time to time. His life can be described as leisurely and comfortable.

He believed that he was not someone who would make enemies, let alone mortal enemies who wanted to kill him.

So when I encountered an ambush in the northern border, I was very puzzled and almost died without a burial place. Fortunately, I met Sect Master Xu.

Prince An thought about what happened at that time, and looked at Xu Qingqing with gratitude in his eyes: "I don't know who wants to kill me. I am an idle prince with no real power. I have to survive under the nose of my brother every day. How can I have the opportunity to investigate."

As he spoke, Prince An's eyes revealed a hint of dejection and unwillingness.

Xu Qingqing nodded and stopped asking questions.

"Your Highness Prince An doesn't know, but I do have some information..."

Before Xu Qingqing could finish, Prince An took over the conversation: "Really?"

Xu Qingqing nodded: "Northern barbarians."

"Northern Barbarians?!" Prince An's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

"Prince An, do you know why the northern barbarians have tried to kill you time and time again?" Xu Qingqing stared at Prince An, trying to read something from his face.

Prince An was confused: "How many times?"

"Don't you know?" Xu Qingqing was a little bit incredulous.

King An pointed at himself and asked, "What should I know?"

Xu Qingqing's eyes began to feel strange when she looked at Prince An, and Prince An's expression did not seem fake.

that……

I didn't expect that Prince An was able to dodge so many assassination attempts not by relying on his strength but by luck?

Sure enough, is luck also a form of strength? !

According to the intelligence Xu Qingqing received, His Royal Highness Prince An had been assassinated by the Northern Barbarians no less than ten times in recent years.

The food was poisoned, but Prince An had a poor appetite and was removed.

The beauty trap seduced Prince An and he was given to the emperor.

The assassination attempt happened when Prince An went up to the rooftop to admire the moon in the middle of the night, and the assassin was seen by Prince An.

The siege on Prince An unexpectedly led to Prince An getting off the carriage to relieve himself.

and many more……

Such good luck?!

When Xu Qingqing read the news, she thought that Prince An was well-informed and had anticipated these things, so he was able to avoid them perfectly every time.

Xu Qingqing: ...

Xiao Yuheng: ...

Just when Xu Qingqing was about to tell King An about the northern barbarians, she heard a voice coming from outside the door.

"Miss Zhao, our boss is meeting guests, so it's really inconvenient for us to see you. So, after the boss finishes meeting the guests..."

"What is her identity? What is my identity? Do I need to wait for her to come? A merchant is really ignorant. Believe it or not, I will let my father seal your name as Lun Xiaoyao!"

"Ms. Zhao, why don't we just forget it? It's not a problem for us to wait for a while. After all, Lun Xiaoyao does have a lot of guests every day..."

When Xu Qingqing heard the sound outside the door, she couldn't help but feel a headache.

Why are Chen Shuhan and Zhao Chanjuan here...

"Brother Han! You! No, I want to see your boss now! Go and call Xu Qingqing out!!!" When Zhao Chanjuan heard Chen Shuhan defending Xu Qingqing, she became even more angry and yelled at the waitress.

Seeing this, Chen Shuhan's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust and pride.

Prince An listened to the sound coming from outside the door, turned around and nodded slightly to Xu Qingqing beside him.

Seeing this, Xu Qingqing stepped forward, reached out and slowly pushed the door open.

Standing outside the door were Zhao Chanjuan and Chen Shuhan. When they saw the door was open, they looked up at the same time. When their eyes met, they saw Xu Qingqing standing quietly in front of the door, and behind her stood the distinguished Prince An.

Zhao Chanjuan and Chen Shuhan were shocked and quickly bowed and said in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince An!"

His Royal Highness Prince An nodded slightly in response, his tone still as warm as the spring breeze: "No need to be polite."

Seeing that His Royal Highness Prince An was here, Zhao Chanjuan did not dare to act rashly. She suppressed her unhappiness and only dared to glare at Xu Qingqing from an angle where His Royal Highness Prince An could not see.

Xu Qingqing: ...

However, when Xiao Yuheng saw Chen Shuhan, his eyes dimmed slightly for a second.

After the two stood up, their eyes fell on Xu Qingqing again, full of curiosity and inquiry, as if they were secretly wondering when Xu Qingqing became involved with His Royal Highness Prince An.

Prince An keenly caught the two strange gazes, frowned slightly, then turned to face Xu Qingqing and said softly: "Since Miss Xu has a visitor, I will leave first and meet you another day." After that, he bowed slightly, turned around and left without waiting for Chen Shuhan and the others to react.

After Prince An disappeared with the maid, Xu Qingqing turned her gaze to the two people in front of her and asked, "Mr. Chen, Miss Zhao, why are you here today?"

Chen Shuhan looked at the beautiful Xu Qingqing with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his mother's instructions to him before he left. So he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing what he thought was the most charming smile, and said in a gentle manner: "Miss Xu, it's a nice day today, it's really a good day for a trip! I came here this time to invite you to play with me. It's a coincidence that I met Miss Zhao on the way here. I wonder if Miss Xu would be so kind as to give me a chance to go with you?"
