My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Cui Hongjing's eyes flashed with coldness, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop by ten degrees. Zhuang Xiang couldn't help but shudder.

Cui Hongjing's voice was still calm, as if he was talking to himself: "The expert who rescued Helian Lanfeng should not be his man, otherwise such a powerful person would not show up at the last moment. But, who is it?"

Zhuang Xiang couldn't answer this question.

Cui Hongjing's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Could it be that it's the second brother's people?"

Zhuang Xiang didn't think so. "King Qi is the grandson of Helian Mingyue, and Helian Lanfeng is the posthumous son of Helian Qingfeng. Helian Mingyue and his queen were killed by Helian Qingfeng in the rebellion because they supported the King of Nanyue. Therefore, King Qi and Helian Lanfeng have an irreconcilable hatred, so how could he save him?"

Before that, Muring Lane was burned down, and the century-old foundation of the Tiegu Gang was destroyed.

However, the capture of Du Zheng's confidant Hua Laoer was a conspiracy set up by Cui Hongjing and Li Mo. Their only purpose was to make Hua Laoer find an opportunity to tell King Qi the secret of his life experience without letting him become suspicious.

"My original intention was to use the hatred between King Qi and Helian Lanfeng to make them both lose. But why would King Qi save Helian Lanfeng?" Cui Hongjing closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then shook his head, "But I have a hunch that it was King Qi who did it. I really can't think of anyone else besides King Qi, the Lord of the Night, who would have such a powerful martial artist who could fight ten people alone and save someone from my secret guards."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Xiang, King Qi knows that Helian Qingfeng is the enemy who killed his grandfather and grandmother, but Helian Lanfeng doesn't know King Qi's life experience, right? Maybe he will be grateful to King Qi for saving him."

Zhuang Xiang suddenly realized, "Now that Your Majesty has said this, I seem to understand. Perhaps, Prince Qi wants to use Helian Lanfeng to do something?"

Cui Hongjing: "Could it be that the second brother has set his eyes on the soldiers in Helian Lanfeng's hands? Humph, after King Qi has used him, I'm sure Helian Lanfeng will die miserably... because Helian Lanfeng is definitely no match for Lord Ye."

Zhuang Xiang: "How about trying to reveal Prince Qi's background to His Majesty?"

Cui Hongjing sneered and murmured, "Father would never have thought that his son, who is the most indifferent to fame and fortune, the most gentle as jade, and known as the most talented man in Dazhen, would actually be the ambitious Lord Ye..."

***

Helian Lanfeng was dragged away from Prince Jing's mansion's secret guards like a dead dog.

The person who "dragged" him away didn't say a word along the way.

Helian Lanfeng was so tightly held by this person that he couldn't even look up at his face. He didn't know who this person was? Why did he save him?

But he could feel the cold aura coming from this person, like a zombie without any emotion or warmth. The air pressure around him was very low, which made people inexplicably feel fear and despair from the bottom of their bones.

But Helian Lanfeng quickly adapted, because in a sense, he was also such a person.

The more perverted a person is, the more he appreciates him.

However, the way this person dragged him was very rude, with one hand tightly grasping his shoulder blade, as if he was dragging a dead dog. Waves of pain came from his shoulder blade, and Helian Lanfeng couldn't exert any strength at all. He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Just like that, who knows how long he endured, finally, the man threw him to the ground.

Helian Lanfeng got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and saw the zombie when he looked up.

This was a young man who looked like a dead person. Every pore on his body exuded the breath of death, like a messenger from the eighteen levels of hell.

Helian Lanfeng endured the pain in his shoulder, raised his head and straightened his chest, trying hard to pretend to be a superior.

But he was too short and the boy in front of him was very tall, so he had to look up very hard to see the boy's chin.

He cleared his throat, leaned forward slightly, clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you for saving my life, young man."

Meng Nan didn't even blink, ignored him, or even bothered to look at him.

Helian Lanfeng did not feel embarrassed. He simply found a chair to sit down and poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it in a familiar manner.

The door opened silently.

Helian Lanfeng put down his teacup and walked over with a smile, "I guessed it must be you."

He looked at the young man beside him and said, "Besides Lord Ye, who else deserves such a... rising star?"

He wanted to say "servant", but what came out was "rising star".

Lord Ye, or Cui Hongqi, showed a sneer of disgust behind the mask, but his eyes that were exposed showed no expression.

He didn't respond to Helian Lanfeng's words, but turned to look at the young man: "Go outside and keep watch."

There were only two people in the room, and Helian Lanfeng once again thanked Lord Ye for saving his life.

"How could the dignified King of Nanyue be so vulnerable?" Cui Hongqi's voice was full of obvious sarcasm.

Helian Lanfeng didn't care, his face didn't even turn red, instead he chuckled, "I was just pretending to be weak, and I know that Lord Ye will never watch me lose my life in vain."

"You are right. After all, you are still of some use to me."

Helian Lanfeng's pupils shrank, and hatred instantly surged in his heart, but he did not show it. Then he chuckled, "You can't say that. Lord Ye needs me, but how do you know that Lord Ye has no use for me? We are just using each other."

Cui Hongqi laughed harshly from behind his mask. "I never keep useless people! Besides, you are not the only descendant of the Nanyue royal family... I am only giving you a chance because we have known each other for several years."

Cui Hongqi was filled with disgust. If it weren't for the fact that his identity was inconvenient to be exposed and he needed a puppet right now, how could he let this waste live until now? When the big thing was settled, he would kill Helian Lanfeng as the descendant of Helian Mingyue, justified.

What Helian Lanfeng was thinking in his heart was: Lord Ye has been cooperating with me for a long time, and he must have known by now that Mei Xueer is the daughter of that shameless bitch Princess Anping. If he really turns to support the daughter of that bitch, it will be bad.

Thinking of this, and thinking of Lord Ye's ruthless methods and unfathomable strength, Helian Lanfeng broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Cui Hongqi saw the expression on his face clearly, and thought to himself: He is so scared, could it be that he has found out the identity of my mother, and is afraid that I will compete with him for the throne of the King of Nanyue? Humph, how can I take a mere outdated king of Nanyue seriously? I must not let anyone know that I am a descendant of the Nanyue royal family!

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
