Return of the Phoenix Lady

Chapter 167: Sneaking into the enemy camp

Han Xing turned around and looked at the familiar group of five with a smile. He had never felt so close to them as he did now.

When Jin Haoyu saw Han Xing, he ran over like a cat seeing a fish.

"Brother Jin, what a coincidence!" Han Xing said with a smile.

"Yes! Brother Han, I didn't expect to meet you here! Are you here to buy weapons?" Jin Haoyu asked with a smile.

"That's right. I thought that if I encounter a strong enemy in the future, how can I fight without even a suitable weapon? So I came here." Han Xing explained.

"What? What are you going to do?" Jin Haoyu could tell there was something else behind Han Xing's words. He wanted to sell weapons. Could it be that he was planning to bring these friends to the palace to save his brother? This was absolutely unacceptable!

"To be honest, big brother, the princess's wedding is approaching, but we still haven't figured out a way to rescue my brother, so... we plan to..." Before Han Xing could finish, Jin Haoyu interrupted impatiently, "Brother Han, you better calm down and don't do anything stupid!"

Hearing this, Han Xing lowered her head and shook her head as she spoke in a voice filled with pain, "But...but, if we don't act now, it will be too late! My brother was captured for me...for me! How could I bear to let him marry a woman he doesn't love?"

"Even so, you can't ignore the safety of yourself and your friends just to save your brother!" Jin Haoyu anxiously wanted to persuade the fragile person in front of him. Seeing him so helpless and painful, his heart ached as well. He just wanted to hug the person in front of him in his arms and comfort him.

"But now it's hard to even see him. I really have no other choice! Brother Jin, can you help me?" Han Xing said with great emotion, almost shedding a few tears.

"This..." Jin Haoyu looked at the fragile person in front of him with heartache. Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly, "Brother Han, don't be sad. I have a way to let you see your brother!"

"Really?" The little man suddenly raised his head, his clear and bright eyes blinking at him, full of expectation.

In order not to scare the little guy away, Jin Haoyu had to suppress his impulse and said with a smile, "Of course, in two days, the princess will bring your brother to visit the Prime Minister. I will arrange for you to enter the Prime Minister's residence and then arrange for you to meet on the same day. Is that okay?"

Shangguan Lan'er, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She pulled Jin Haoyu over and whispered, "Brother Haoyu, this isn't good, is it? After all, Han'er wants to rescue his brother. If father or the princess knew..." Before Shangguan Lan'er could finish, Jin Haoyu interrupted, "Lan'er, you don't have to worry about this. Xinghan just wants to see his brother. How can they possibly rescue someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion with just their strength? Besides, that person is my sister's favorite?"

"Well... okay!" Shangguan Lan'er had no choice but to nod.

"Brother Jin, are you telling the truth? That...that's great! Brother Jin, thank you! Thank you!" Han Xing thanked Jin Haoyu with great joy.

The people behind Han Xing were also greatly impressed by Han Xing's acting skills, thinking: The young master not only has a high level of cultivation, but his acting skills are also unmatched!

"You're welcome, Brother Han. You call me brother, so how can I, as your brother, not help you wholeheartedly?" Jin Haoyu felt happy when he saw Han Xing smile again.

"Brother, you are so nice!" Han Xing said happily, and was secretly happy in his heart: the plan went well!

"By the way, Brother Han, if you want to buy weapons, why don't you come to your big brother? Have you forgotten what your big brother does?" Jin Haoyu said with a hint of blame and pampering.

"Haha~ I'm just sorry to bother you, big brother!" Han Xing smiled.

"Let's go! Here are some good weapons made by our union. Big brother will take you to see them!" Jin Haoyu pulled Han Xing and walked forward.

Han Xing looked at Jin Haoyu holding her wrist, and thought to herself that he had helped her after all, so she should let him off for a while!

Jin Haoyu enthusiastically showed Han Xing several weapons. Although none of them were particularly impressive, Han Xing pretended to praise them out of respect. However, the people behind Han Xing were not so easy to please. Apart from Han Xing, they showed no respect to anyone else. After glancing at the weapons for a few moments, they began to lose interest.

The people behind Jin Haoyu also saw Ying Rui and the others' attitude and were very dissatisfied, but they did not vent their anger. However, it was hard to say about Ouyang Qianrong, who had a hot temper.

It wasn't long before Ouyang Qianrong couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped and pointed at Ying Rui and the others with a cold face and said, "What do you mean? Do you look down on our union's weapons?"

Han Xing was startled by Ouyang Qianrong's sudden outburst. He quickly turned back to look at Ying Rui and the others, lamenting inwardly: Why did she choose these stupid kids? They're so good at causing trouble! Even if she was really bored, couldn't she just pretend? Didn't you see how hard she worked? I really should learn from her!

"Rong'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jin Haoyu had been looking at Han Xing, so he didn't notice the expressions of the people behind him at all. He was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Qianrong's sudden outburst.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Bo Wu, tell me, when Brother Haoyu introduced them just now, were they very disdainful?!" Ouyang Qianrong looked at Ying Rui and the others with anger, and glared at Mei Ye from time to time.

Xu Bowu walked forward, looked at Jin Haoyu, then glanced at Ying Rui and the others, and snorted coldly, "That's right! Rong'er is right! We all saw it! Brother, don't you agree?!"

Xu Bowen didn't show any displeasure towards them, and said politely, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding."

Shangguan Lan'er also smiled and said softly, "Yes! Right? Brother Yingrui? Brother Yingjue?" Of course, Yingrui and Yingjue would ignore this pretentious woman.

Seeing no one paying attention to her, her self-esteem was severely damaged and her eyes became red again. This time, even the rational Xu Bowen could not stand it anymore and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, are you dissatisfied with us? If you are dissatisfied, just say it directly. Why make everyone unhappy?"

Seeing this, Han Xing smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere, saying, "Don't get me wrong, my friends are introverts, so they don't talk much and act quite reserved. Once you spend more time with them, things will get better naturally."

"Since it's just his personality, don't take it to heart!" Jin Haoyu spoke to Ouyang Qianrong and others. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only swallow their anger. After all, he was the third prince of the Jin Dynasty.

After a short interlude, everyone continued to look at the weapons, some were bored, some were angry...

After coming out of the Artifact Pavilion, Han Xing only bought a spiritual weapon dagger.

Jin Haoyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Brother Han to have such high standards. Next time, Brother Jin will take you to our union to choose. I guarantee you'll be dazzled by the selection!"

Han Xing nodded in agreement and said okay with a smile.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jin Haoyu simply told others that he was his friend and wanted to stay here temporarily, so the Prime Minister did not doubt it and agreed. Then, Han Xing and the other four successfully moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion, infiltrated the enemy camp, and were just waiting for the arrival of the princess and the prince consort!
