The leading general knelt down on one knee, stretched out his hand to caress his right chest, saluted Fu Heng, and said: "Your Highness—the gate guards came late to save you. Please calm down your anger!"
The leading general raised his head, with a domineering look on his face, and it turned out to be Lao Shou, the top master of Taiyangyuan.
Fu Heng has attracted many young and promising people in Da Yang Mansion over the years. All of these people have been incorporated into his own guards, and Lao Shou is one of them.
Fu Heng said: "Laoshou, I'll leave this place to you and Buya."
"Yes—Your Highness!"
"Yes—Your Highness!"
Buya and Laoshou nodded one after another, and then rushed towards the group of killers.
Fu Heng waved his white sleeves, and the white shadow swept towards the window.
On the dark long street, Hongyeji fled in a hurry. Seeing her pursuers approaching, she had no way to escape. Suddenly, a black shadow passed by, taking her away like a ghost, and then disappeared into the darkness of the street.
The black shadow moved very fast, and Zi Yuan did not notice it. She still held the sword and chased forward, followed closely by the white-haired Fu Heng.
Hongyeji's heartbeat quickened as she saw someone hugging her and dragging her to the darkness of the street.
The man stretched out his hand to cover her mouth. He was very tall, and her head rested in his arms. There seemed to be a wave of demonic aura suppressing his body, so that she did not dare to resist.
After the pursuers left, the man let go of his hand. When Hongyeji turned around and saw the man's face, she took a breath of air.
He was really a very handsome man, tall and straight, with a domineering and awe-inspiring look in his brows, which made people unable to help but be shocked by his majesty.
She instantly fell in love with him, looked at him up and down with a shy look on her face, and asked, "Why did you save me?"
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, his eyes always staring at her face. Hong Yeji, who originally wanted to show off her charming skills, suddenly let out a cry and hurriedly lowered her head in shame, reaching out to cover the scars on her face.
Only then did she remember that her veil had been lifted off by the purple kite, and there was still a terrible scar on her face. How could she show off her appearance like this?
Her charm and tenderness just now must have been just disgusting to that man. Thinking of this, he felt ashamed and suddenly lost all his confidence.
However, the man was unmoved and seemed not to care. He still took a step forward, reached out and pinched her chin, and raised her face.
A pair of captivating demonic eyes looked down at her, and then at the skull waist bell hanging on her waist.
He asked in a cold voice: "Are you Red Leaf Princess?"
For a moment, Hongyeji was mesmerized by the man's magnetic voice. She stayed there for a moment before she realized what was happening and said, "You...how did you know?"
The man always looked at him in a condescending manner, perhaps because of his height, or perhaps because he was born with a kingly aura.
Bullying said: "Not only do I know who you are, but I also know where this scar on your face came from. It was caused by Netherworld Evil Lord Xie Haixinglan, and the golden finger knife that injured you contains highly toxic substances. That toxin It invaded your wound and it is difficult to heal, causing your appearance to be ruined."
"You...you..." Hongye Ji was trembling when someone grabbed her weak point. She felt that she was very ashamed in front of such a handsome person, and she didn't even dare to look at him.
She once boasted that her appearance was the most beautiful in the world, but compared with the person in front of her, it was obviously not worth mentioning, not to mention that now she was disfigured.
Suddenly, he felt that the person in front of him was the white moonlight from above, and he was just a red leaf falling into the dust.
She turned her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Please don't look at it anymore——"
It was because of this scar that she was pulled down from the throne of the goddess revered by thousands of people, causing her to suffer for half her life.
The man sneered and said: "Hongyeji, in order to repair your appearance, you are looking for beauties everywhere. Once you find one, you will take her face. However, this method of repairing your appearance does not last long. After a while, you One person must be killed. If I can help you completely restore your appearance, will you be willing to follow me?"
Hong Yeji's eyes trembled, she looked at him in disbelief, and asked: "You...who are you?"
"The regent of Hengwu Kingdom—Sufeng."
When he revealed his identity, Hongyeji couldn't help but be shocked, and then said: "You...can you really help me restore my appearance?"
"I will keep my word."
"Your Highness the Regent, if you can really help me restore my appearance, I will follow you to the death!"
"Hehehe! Very good, you come with me!"
After Sufeng finished speaking, he turned around and left. The tall black figure quickly disappeared into the night, and Hongyeji hurriedly chased after him.
At the corner of the street, Fu Heng and Zi Yuan were already fighting fiercely.
"Why are you chasing me so closely?" Zi Yuan held the ice rose and quickly attacked his face.
Fu Heng dodged left and right, and with a flick of his white sleeves, he caught the long sword in her hand and said, "You set fires wantonly in my vast county and killed countless people. What do you mean?"
Ziyuan frowned and angrily said, "What the hell are you talking about? There is a fire in Qianlin County, what does it have to do with me?"
"Just now Mr. Wang's mansion was on fire. I followed the human-skinned kite to Yingshang Pavilion and found that you have the aura of the undead. How dare you make excuses?"
"The aura of the undead? Is this what you're talking about?"
After she finished speaking, she took out a white handkerchief from her body. When she opened the handkerchief, she saw that there was a human face inside.
"You are so cruel, you actually cut off people's faces!" Fu Heng was furious.
Zi Yuan said hurriedly: "Don't be angry yet, this thing is not mine, but Hongyeji's."
"Red Leaf Princess?"
"It's the woman in red who I fought with before. She has a poisonous scar on her face. In order to restore her appearance, she has to hunt for a beautiful face every once in a while. I have been tracking her for more than a year, and she has been running around. , and finally caught her in Yingshang Pavilion!"
Fu Heng frowned and said, "So the human-skinned paper kite is related to the Red Leaf Princess?"
She took back her face and said, "I don't know about that."
"Hmph, why should I believe you?"
Ziyuan reached out and took out a token with three large gilt characters - Yelong Pavilion - engraved on it.
She said: "I am from Yelong Pavilion. If I want to kill people, how can I use such a trick as setting fire?"
"Yelong Pavilion? The number one killer organization in the world, with power spread all over the nine continents, so you are a killer?" Fu Heng frowned in thought.
"That's right, killer Ziyuan! A year ago, an employer came to Yelong Pavilion and said that his daughter was killed and her face was cut off after her death. He paid a large sum of money and asked Yelong Pavilion to investigate the matter and provide him with My daughter takes revenge!”
"So, the person who skinned people is the Red Leaf Princess?"
"Yes, she has committed three murders in a row, and now she has fled to Qianlin County."
"Your Highness—" Bu Ya had already solved the killer and was chasing after him. He first glanced at Zi Yuan and then at his master.
Hearing Buya's words, Ziyuan guessed the identity of the person in front of her, took back the token, and showed a smile on her lips.
She said: "It is said that the fifth prince of the Hengwu Kingdom is handsome, with a jade-like appearance, skin like gelatin, and an aura like an orchid. When I saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation! Your Highness, the fifth prince, if you have a murder business to do in the future, you can do it." Come to me, Zi Yuan will say goodbye!"
Before Fu Heng could react, Zi Yuan had already swept onto the roof like a gust of wind and disappeared down the long street.
The street is long, the killer is cold, the flowers are fragrant, and the people are beautiful.
Bu Ya said: "Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to pursue you?"
"No need." A gentle smile appeared on Fu Heng's lips.
"Your Highness, is the case of the human-skinned paper kite related to the purple kite?"
Fu Heng pondered for a moment, and then said: "The case is complicated and confusing, and Zi Yuan's identity is strange. However, if the case is related to her, she will not reveal her identity, but... it cannot be ruled out that she is playing tricks on her to confuse her eyes. .”
Bu Ya nodded, and then said: "Your Highness, the killers who attacked us are probably people sent by the royal family, but we don't know which prince in the palace they are?"
Fu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, sneered and said, "Humph! Couldn't he be from the regent?"
"Prince Regent?!" Bu Ya thought for a moment and then said, "I will order the gate guards to investigate this matter."
Fu Heng lightly flapped his sleeves and sighed: "The country of Hengwu is in chaos, and it's a troubled autumn."
Fu Heng returned to the villa where he was staying in Qianlin County. His servants informed him that a visitor was coming, so he went to the lobby. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw a group of four people, including men and women.
The leading man is handsome, with a vague look of an old friend between his brows, but he is more mature and steady than before.
He chuckled and said: "Who is it? It turns out to be you! Zhenfeng, are you okay?"
Ye Zhenfeng stepped forward and said, "Fu Heng, I haven't seen you in five years, and you still look that chic and indifferent."
Fu Heng smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Han Ziyue who was behind Ye Zhenfeng, and he frowned.
Ye Zhenfeng stepped forward and signaled him with his eyes.
Although Fu Heng didn't know what was going on, as a high-ranking prince, he was naturally discerning. It was of course best not to speak before he understood the situation.
Ye Zhenfeng stretched out his hand and said, "These three are my good friends, Han Ziyue, Na Ruotian, and Jiang Xun!"
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince!" the three of them said in unison.
Fu Heng smiled slightly, with a hint of provocation in his eyes. He first glanced at Han Ziyue, then looked meaningfully at Ye Zhenfeng, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh, good friend!"
Ye Zhenfeng naturally understood what he meant, his face turned red, and he stopped looking at him.
Fu Heng, this brat, is just pretending and asking questions knowingly.
Na Ruotian stepped forward and said: "This guy said he knew the fifth prince of Hengwu Kingdom. I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect that he actually knew him."
Fu Heng looked at Na Ruotian and felt that this person spoke straightforwardly and seemed to be from no one's family. He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his lips and said, "Zhenfeng, your friend is really innocent!"
A grown man in Naruo Paradise felt bad for a moment since he was called innocent by a man who was prettier than a woman. However, he didn't know that Fu Heng's intention was just to ridicule him for being more naive than naive. .
