After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

At that time, in Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu's tent.

Luo Hanfeng's body was slowly recovering. He leaned back on the bench, while Xie Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face.

Her gaze lingered on Luo Hanfeng, but she hesitated to speak.

Luo Hanfeng noticed her gaze, but didn't want to pay her any attention.

He had been running around all day, and the physical pain left him exhausted and unable to deal with Xie Mingzhu.

"Hanfeng." After a long silence in the tent, Xie Mingzhu finally spoke.

She looked up, her eyes still brimming with tears: "I know I shouldn't ask you this now, but before, in front of the Fifth Prince of the Southern Kingdom, you said you wanted Xie Xing to be your prince consort?"

"What does it mean?"

If Xie Mingzhu were still the daughter of the Xie family in the past, she would have had many choices and would certainly not have asked so gently as she does today.

It must have been a question posed out of shame and anger.

The only reason she dares to question now is because of the tens of thousands of soldiers behind her, which gives her some confidence.

But in the end, Xie Mingzhu still felt insecure because she didn't really know Gu Tai and the others.

Having been raised in a sheltered environment since childhood, she could not accept such a nomadic life.

A surge of resentment welled up in Luo Hanfeng's heart.

He clenched his fists, using all the anger in his body to suppress the rage.

He looked towards Xie Mingzhu, a forced smile appearing on his pale lips: "Mingzhu, I thought you always understood me."

Why should I marry Xie Xing as my princess consort?

Xie Mingzhu was taken aback.

Indeed, Xie Xing had always verbally humiliated Luo Hanfeng and had never been gentle with him. How could Luo Hanfeng possibly like her?

Besides, it was Xie Mingzhu who spent the most time with Luo Hanfeng and had the deepest camaraderie with him.

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and said softly, "It's because I heard those words that I..."

Luo Hanfeng lowered his long eyelashes: "That was just a temporary measure. Xie Xing is an obstacle on our path to seizing the throne and restoring the country. It would be best if we could use someone else to kill her."

"Mingzhu, in this era, the more you care about someone, the more they become the target of everyone's criticism."

"Xie Xing has made herself known to Prince Jin quite a bit; how many people want to use her to keep Prince Jin in check?"

"After this battle, I will no longer conceal my sharpness. If the Southern Kingdom fears me, it will naturally think of targeting Xie Xing."

"Mingzhu, I don't want you to be exposed to the public."

Luo Hanfeng's light brown eyes are so deceptive that even those who know his true nature would be fooled by his innocent and gentle expression.

Xie Mingzhu was easily deceived by Luo Hanfeng's eyes.

She stood up, ran into Luo Hanfeng's arms, and said, "I know you would never abandon me like my brother and father did."

Xie Mingzhu had long been prepared to be irreconcilably opposed to the Xie family.

All the past love has turned into hate.

For a moment, Luo Hanfeng's expression turned pained.

He clutched his chest, gasped, and said with a bitter smile, "Mingzhu, my injuries haven't healed yet."

Startled, Xie Mingzhu immediately withdrew from Luo Hanfeng's embrace.

He slowly sat up, rubbed his temples, and said weakly, "If we can't find anyone who has infiltrated the camp, we'll have to prepare to leave this place."

He looked at Xie Mingzhu and said, "After all, I am the son of the Chu Emperor. No matter what I say, Grand Tutor Gu will not believe me. But you are different, Mingzhu."

“You are of the bloodline of the previous dynasty and a royal princess; they will listen to what you say.”

Xie Mingzhu straightened up and looked at Luo Hanfeng with a serious expression: "What do you want me to say?"

Luo Hanfeng looked outside the tent and said, "Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is a considerable expense. There is no way that Grand Tutor Gu and a few others could manage such a large scale."

"They must have someone helping them."

“Mingzhu, although you are a descendant of the former royal family and have legitimate blood, you cannot be ignorant of everything.”

"You need to learn everything from Grand Tutor Gu, know about their ceremonial procession, and prepare for yourself."

Xie Mingzhu nodded: "I understand."

Meanwhile, Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin were outside the tent, listening to the sounds inside, and looked at each other in bewilderment.

[Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng?]

[I searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to me effortlessly.]

Xie Xing's eyes lit up.

As soon as these thoughts arose, Luo Hanfeng's eyes shone brightly, instantly locking onto the spot where Xie Xing was standing outside the tent.

Even through the layer of tents, Luo Hanfeng seemed to have known there were people there all along.

At the same time, Jun Lanjin was extremely fast. He quickly covered Xie Xing's mouth and nose, turned around, and quickly left the spot.

Luo Hanfeng suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent.

"What's wrong?" Xie Mingzhu realized something was wrong and jogged to catch up with Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng emerged from his tent, glanced around, and finally, with a cold expression, said, "Go and summon Grand Tutor Gu. Order a full-scale search!"

Under normal circumstances, Luo Hanfeng might have had the leisure to play a cat-and-mouse game with Xie Xing, but now, it concerns his private army.

After capturing Xie Xing, Luo Hanfeng planned to lock her in a basement he had prepared for her, imprisoning her in a cage so she could not go anywhere.

Xie Xing's thoughts startled Luo Hanfeng, and Jun Lanjin quickly moved Xie Xing out of the range of his thoughts.

Xie Xing was confused and looked at Jun Lanjin blankly.

Jun Lanjin lowered his eyes and said, "He found out."

Xie Xing had a question mark above his head.

How did Luo Hanfeng discover that the two of them hadn't made a sound?

Is his protagonist aura really that strong?

Jun Lanjin put his arm around the person's waist and said, "Let's find a place to hide first."

It seems that Luo Hanfeng also wants to find the people who support the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In fact, Jun Lanjin already had some guesses in his heart.

After all, to have such financial resources and audacity, and to do everything so flawlessly, without being detected by the imperial power, was truly remarkable.

Very few.

The four major families are the suspects.

Jun Lanjin went out slowly and said, "I'll take you to hide. Don't show yourselves in front of anyone now."

With Luo Hanfeng around, no matter how Xie Xing disguises himself, he will be recognized at a glance.

……

the other side.

Xie Yuze has already infiltrated a general's camp.

The general invited several of his colleagues to have a drink together.

Xie Yuze stood to the side, observing their expressions and pouring drinks for them.

"The world is becoming increasingly turbulent, and our opportunity has arrived!"

"The fighting is probably going to start very soon."

"That dog emperor, I heard that the Xie family is loyal, but it is because of their excessive military power that the dog emperor is wary of them."

"I heard that the Xie family's tiger tally is missing. Otherwise, the Xie family army would have been dismantled by the dog emperor long ago."

"Haha, why care about that damned emperor? The more he acts like this, the more our opportunity comes."

"The dog emperor has arrested the Xie family. How many of them can fight us now?"
