Both worlds are like dreams

"So you still don't care who becomes the crown prince?"

"I am stationed here and cannot interfere in the affairs of the court. But I hope that the one who sits in that position will be a wise ruler."

"Then do you think the Fifth Prince can be that person?"

"Only time will tell. But I think he should be able to do it."

"how you said that?"

"After meeting him for the past few days, I found that the Fifth Prince is indeed a wise and sensible man with noble character. He has unique insights into governing a country and truly cares about the people. I believe in him, just as the princess believes in him."

"The current situation in the court of Beiling is complicated, and the struggle for power among the princes is bound to be very brutal, but the arrow has been drawn on the string, and he has no way out. And I hope that he can have a strong enough confidence behind him."

"I understand what the princess means, please rest assured." Lu Wenxuan promised solemnly.

Xue Huang understood what he meant and said nothing more. "I'm full, you guys take your time."

"Are you full already?" Hua Yu was puzzled.

Xue Huang smiled slightly, "Wouldn't it be unnecessary for me to be here?"

"This girl just knows how to make fun of me." Hua Yu smiled helplessly.

Xue Huang left with a smile. She got the answer she wanted and ate a lot of dog food, so she was naturally full.

After Xuehuang went out, she did not return to her room, but came to Rongyu's room.

He had been out and had not returned yet, so Xue Huang occupied the house and started practicing.

It was not until midnight that Rong Yu pushed the door open.

Xue Huang raised her eyes, "You're back?"

Rong Yu didn't ask why she was here, he just asked: "How much of your power has recovered?"

"Just about half."

"Have you thought about the route back?"

“It’s not easy either way.”

"Mo Yunchen seems to have contact with Jiuxiao City. I noticed that his whereabouts in the past few days are a little unusual."

"Jiuxiao City's deputy general Duan Feng is the elder brother of the subordinate beside him."

Rong Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Come with me to meet someone tomorrow."

"Who?"

"You'll know once you go there."

Xue Huang nodded.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed." After saying that, Rong Yu turned and left, leaving the room to Xue Huang.

After breakfast the next day, Xue Huang went out as promised. After getting on the carriage, she found that Mo Ruilin was also inside.

"Fifth brother?"

"You look good." Mo Ruilin smiled.

After the three of them were seated, they set off in the carriage.

"Uncle, you are so mysterious, who are you taking us to see?"

"A friend." Rong Yu said.

The carriage traveled for an hour and stopped outside an elegant teahouse.

Rong Yu led them in and went straight to an elegant room on the third floor.

As soon as she entered, Xue Huang was stunned.

Sitting by the window inside was a young man, dressed in silver clothes, with his hair tied up with a jade crown, looking very high-spirited, with a long sword behind him. He sat there casually drinking tea, exuding a carefree and unrestrained aura.

Hearing the voice, he immediately turned his head and his eyes fell directly on Xue Huang. Then he quickly stood up and bowed to her, "Miss Xue Huang, long time no see, how are you?"

"Mr. Murong?" Xue Huang looked at Rong Yu unconsciously, wondering why didn't he say it earlier?

Rong Yu looked calm and even introduced Mo Ruilin, "This is the leader of Rashomon, Master Murong."

"Murong Hen greets His Highness."

"No need to be so polite." Murilan said with a smile.

There are many martial arts sects in the world, and Rashomon is one of them.

This Murong Hen is the leader of this generation of Rashomon. Although he is young, he is very good at practicing swordsmanship. He is very famous in the martial arts world and ranks tenth on the list of young martial artists of this generation.

Murong Hen's gaze was always on Xue Huang, but there was nothing in his eyes that made people feel that something was wrong. It was simply the kind of joy that came from the bottom of his heart when he met an old friend after a long separation.

"When I saw you entering the city that day, I thought I had seen wrongly, but then I saw Brother Rong Yu beside you, so it must be you. But you were surrounded by soldiers, so I couldn't rush over to stop you. Later, you entered the general's mansion, and I wanted to look for you. But there were also heavy guards. I have been wandering around outside for several days, and finally found a chance to catch up with Brother Rong Yu."

"Mr. Murong, how are you?" Xue Huang said.

"I'm fine, but I miss you a lot. I heard that you were injured. How are you now? I have all kinds of healing medicines. I will send a pigeon to send them to you right away."

"I'm fine too." Xue Huang quickly stopped him. "Mr. Murong, you don't have to be so polite."

"Don't be so formal with me. Come and sit down. The tea in this teahouse is very good. Come and try it."

Mo Ruilin watched from the side with a meaningful look.

Xue Huang met his gaze with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Rong Yu went straight to the point, "Master Murong knew we were going back to Shangyang City and wanted to help us. It was hard to refuse his kindness, so I had no choice but to bring you to see him."

"Help us?" Mo Ruilin was very surprised. "Since Master Murong knows my identity, you should know that this trip is very dangerous."

"Of course I know." Murong Hen said with a smile. "But since it concerns Miss Xue Huang, I have no choice but to do it."

Xue Huang said, "Mr. Murong, we are very grateful for your help, but this trip is really dangerous. If you help us, you will be implicated with the court. If this brings you trouble, I am afraid I will feel uneasy."

"Then I won't be the leader of Rashomon." Murong Hen said without hesitation.

"Mr. Murong, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept it."

"I'm doing this voluntarily, so you don't have to feel any burden. I've said before that it's my business that I like you. I'm willing to do anything for you."

Hearing this, Mo Ruilin almost spit out his tea. He had always thought that Murong Hen was interested in Xue Huang, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

Xue Huang was also somewhat helpless. When she left Shangyang City, she traveled around with Rong Yu and met Murong Hen.

He admired her very much for participating in the martial arts competition at Xuanyuantai, and because she stood up for the poor and helped them with her sword, Murong Hen fell in love with her at first sight.

Moreover, he was a straightforward person, without any hesitation, and he expressed his feelings to Xue Huang directly.

Knowing that Xue Huang had a lover, he respected her thoughts, but he was always nice to her and did not ask for any response.

I never thought that three years later, he still hasn't let go of me.

"Master Murong, you really don't have to do this. Besides, this trip is really dangerous."

"You are concerned about my safety and don't want to see me in danger?" Murong Hen was very happy.

Xue Huang really didn't want him to waste his life like this, "Master Murong, to be honest, I'm married."

"Married?" Murong Hen was stunned for a moment, "Is it... the sweetheart you mentioned?"

Xue Huang didn't want to lie to him, but she hoped he would let it go sooner, so she just followed his words. "Yes."

Murong Hen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but soon his eyes became clear again, "No matter what, we are friends. When friends are in trouble, we are naturally obliged to help. And you really need my help now."

Mo Ruilin also tried to dissuade him, "Mr. Murong, I will remember your chivalrous heart, but I must not let you get into trouble. I have other plans for returning to the city, so you don't have to worry."

"With your current team, how can you return to Shangyang City safely?"

Several people were silent.

Murong Hen continued, "Besides, my martial arts skills are ranked tenth on this generation's youth martial arts list. Although I am not as good as your Guigu Sect's Double Seven Swordsmanship, I can boast that I have made some achievements in using a knife. Now that you are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"

"But……"

Xue Huang was interrupted by him as soon as she opened her mouth. "In addition, I have a brilliant plan that will ensure that you can return to Shangyang City safely. How about it? Do you want to hear it?"

"Master Murong..." Xue Huang opened her mouth again, but was interrupted again.

"How about this. I'll help you once, and you help me once, and let's just consider this a deal." Murong Hen looked at Mo Ruilin, "Nowadays, the martial arts circles are constantly fighting each other, with countless casualties. Now I'm doing His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince a favor. In the future, I hope His Royal Highness can let the court intervene and impose some restrictions on the martial arts circles."

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "Mr. Murong is so sincere. I really admire him."

Rong Yu looked at Xue Huang, "Now that we have come to this, why don't we listen to Master Murong's plan."

Xue Huang had no choice but to agree and looked at Murong Hen.

Murong Hen smiled slightly, "Miss Xue Huang, do you remember what else we in Rashomon are good at besides swordsmanship?"

Xue Huang opened her eyes slightly wider and immediately understood what he meant.
