Hearing this voice, Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel startled. He quickly faced the direction of the palace door and stood with a bow.
At the same time, he also signaled Gu Chen to bow to greet him.
But obviously, it is impossible for Gu Chen!
In this Great Xia Empire, no one is qualified to bow to him.
At this moment, a young girl's figure slowly walked into the hall.
The girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, fair skin, and a delicate face. Although she is wearing mourning clothes, she can no longer hide her nobility.
Vaguely, you can still feel a sense of pride, unconsciously emanating from the girl's body.
This kind of arrogance is not arrogance, but the kind of arrogance that comes from the flesh and blood. It is naturally formed by being in a high position for a long time.
"Meet Princess Yangxi!"
Seeing the person coming, Qi Yuan quickly lowered his already bent waist.
"Princess?"
Gu Chen's eyes fell on the girl, raised his eyes slightly, and took another look at the girl.
It turned out to be a princess, no wonder Qi Yuan was so respectful.
"Master, salute quickly!"
Seeing that Gu Chen was still standing still, Qi Yuan quickly reminded him in a low voice.
But Princess Yangxi raised her hand to stop her: "No need!"
He also looked at Gu Chen: "You are the Gu Chen who went to Daxia alone to make Tianming's cavalry withdraw unconditionally and promised to compensate for the war money, right?"
Gu Chen nodded: "My name is Gu Chen."
"I have admired the name of the young master for a long time. The prince's brother cannot come to see the young master at this time, so he asked me to come and see the young master to avoid neglecting the young master."
Princess Yangxi smiled lightly, but there was no air in her smile.
As he spoke, he motioned to Gu Chen to speak.
Gu Chen was not polite and sat down directly, saying: "What does the second prince want from me? Just tell me straight away. I don't like beating around the bush."
Princess Yangxi waved her hand gently to Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan immediately understood: "I will leave first. If your highness, Princess, has something to do, please call me at any time!"
Qi Yuan retreated, and only Gu Chen and Princess Yangxi were left in the hall.
Princess Yangxi also said straight to the point: "Young Master Gu, His Highness the Crown Prince intends to have you serve the Crown Prince. I wonder what your wishes are?"
"Service?" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "He doesn't deserve it."
"What?" Princess Yangxi was stunned for a moment, feeling that she had heard wrongly.
Gu Chen said: "In this world, the person who can serve me, Gu Chen, has not yet been born."
This time, Princess Yangxi heard clearly.
The expression on her pretty face suddenly froze, and a flash of anger and coldness could not help but flash between her eyebrows.
It just dispersed quickly.
The second prince sent her here to recruit Gu Chen.
If things go wrong, the second prince may be blamed.
I had no choice but to hold back my anger and calm myself down, and then I said, "The second prince has been conferred the title of Crown Prince by Your Majesty. One year later, he will be the current emperor of the Great Xia Empire, the emperor above tens of millions of people!"
"The prince brother said that as long as the young master is willing to serve His Highness the prince, then in the future, the young master will be guaranteed to be granted a title of marquis and title, so that the young master and the young master's family will have a bright future and prosperous career!"
While speaking, Princess Yangxi's beautiful eyes kept falling on Gu Chen, wanting to see Gu Chen's reaction.
However, Gu Chen didn't react at all.
A cheek with an extremely bland expression.
It was as if he didn't hear what she said at all, or in other words, her words didn't appeal to Gu Chen at all.
Princess Yangxi was also a little confused.
I’m afraid no one can refuse such a generous offer, right?
You know, not to mention the Imperial City, countless forces in the entire Daxia Empire are all vying to show their loyalty to the crown prince brother.
Gu Chen could make the second prince personally talk to him, but not everyone was qualified.
Gu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "The second prince wants the credit for the Tianming Empire's unconditional withdrawal, right?"
In this short period of time, he had already thought about it.
Obviously, the second prince did not win over him to really win over him as a confidant.
But the second prince himself also knew that there might be many doubts about his position as prince.
But once he could declare to the outside world that he was actually from the second prince and not the third prince, then the credit for Tianming's retreat would naturally fall on the second prince.
When the time comes, with this huge contribution, the crown prince position will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it!
The third prince is also destined to be eliminated, and there is no possibility of turning around!
And this is the reason why the second prince is looking for him!
However, the second prince did not mention it, but Gu Chen would not forget that the second prince sent people to intercept and kill him twice.
This is not just a thing, it is a hatred, a life and death hatred!
The kind that won’t stop until death!
Gu Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I told you, he doesn't deserve it!"
"you!"
The second time she heard these words, no matter how patient Princess Yangxi was, she couldn't help it at this moment, and the anger on her face suddenly surged.
Glaring at Gu Chen angrily: "Gu Chen, you are too arrogant!"
Gu Chen shook his head gently: "If I were you, leave now, so as not to make me angry, and you won't be able to get out."
"Don't you know where you are now?"
Princess Yangxi bit her silver teeth slightly.
It seemed that he was really too angry, and his delicate body trembled slightly, causing his chest to tremble.
"Zheng~!"
But the next moment, a clang suddenly resounded, and then a bloody sword flashed.
In the blink of an eye of Princess Yangxi, the sword was already on the girl's white jade neck.
Princess Yangxi's expression froze instantly.
With her red lips trembling slightly, she pointed a finger at Gu Chen, but couldn't say a word.
The murderous intent on the young man's blood sword was too strong.
It almost went straight into Princess Yangxi's mind, causing Princess Yangxi's entire mind to be almost filled with blood red.
The frightened girl did not dare to move.
Looking at the girl's appearance, Gu Chen raised his hand to withdraw the bloodthirsty spirit sword. The sound of the sword being sheathed resounded in the hall.
"Let's go!"
Gu Chen didn't kill her.
There is no need to kill a princess whose cultivation level is only at the Grand Master level.
This sword is just a warning to the other party to know how to speak in front of him!
The girl was stunned for a while before she realized what she was doing.
Then he quickly turned around and headed out of the palace.
He didn't even dare to look back, and he didn't even dare to say another word.
The bloody oppression in my mind was too strong.
Let her have no doubt that if she dares to say one more word, she will die on the spot.
However, as soon as she walked out of the hall, Princess Yangxi couldn't help but roared: "Come here, kill the dog inside!!"
With an angry roar, dozens of palace guards outside the palace immediately rushed over.
But Qi Yuan stopped him: "Everyone, stop it!"
Then he looked at Princess Yangxi, bowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, Gu Chen is the person that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants. He may have said something wrong, but this matter is of great importance. Don't touch him easily!"
"Furthermore, there is a big funeral in the palace now, so there is no killing, otherwise it will cause trouble, and His Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to suppress it by then!"
"You need to tell me! Don't I, the princess, know?"
Princess Yangxi shouted angrily, but in the end, she turned around and led the people away.
On the way, you can still hear the angry scolding from Princess Yangxi: "Bitch! Dog!"
