Chapter 656.2: Yun and hua's alliance

Thud!

Liang Yong fell to his knees. Prince Yun, please spare my life. This subordinate doesnt dare to.

You may withdraw. I bet you wouldnt dare to either, but if theres a next time, bring your head. Yun Ruofeng warned.

Liang Yong stumbled as he crawled up from the ground and staggered out of the room in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, the man with the

douli

checked his back to make sure there were no people tailing him before entering the jiazi room.

Acoloured glazed

pingfeng

separated the room into two sections.

The man removed his

douli

, revealing a respectful expression. Master, the message has been relayed.

Mmm. His seemingly indifferent reply carried an imposing authority to it.

It was soon the time for the meeting, and Yun Ruofeng approached the jiazi room. As he stood outside, he already had several guesses as to who he would be meeting, but he couldnt be sure. Thankfully, it wasnt long before the man with the

douli

appeared. He opened the door and stood guard outside.

May I know who you are? Are you Hua Ziheng or Hua Ziqing? Yun Ruofeng couldnt be bothered with the pleasantries.

The person chuckled. As expected of Prince Yun, the person who wields power in all four nations. Even after being spurned by Nanzhao, your deeds are still shocking. This Prince admires you greatly.

Yun Ruofeng could immediately deduce who this person was. Between Hua Ziheng and Hua Ziqing, the only person who could address themselves as this Prince was Hua Ziqing, the deposed crown prince who was then conferred as Prince Qing when he returned to the court.

This person wasnt well known, having shut himself away in Liuhua Courtyard. However, it was rumoured that he possessed exceptional abilities. It was just that since he was stripped of his crown prince t.i.tle, he wouldnt have any chance at fighting for the throne if he didnt have a powerful backer.

Hua Ziqing, just get to the point; this Prince doesnt like beating about the bush. Now that Yun Ruofeng had ascertained the persons ident.i.ty, he was no longer polite.

Hua Ziqing opened the

pingfeng

, revealing his alluring face and a demeanor that carried a trace of warmth. If Pei Qianhao had been present, he would have identified this man as the same one from Xiang Village, despite the different appearance.

Although a persons appearance could be altered, their demeanor couldnt be masked.

This was why Yun Ruofeng didnt identify Hua Ziqing as the man who had appeared in Xiang Village despite having someone there to report news to him.

Prince Yun, since you have managed to guess this Princes ident.i.ty, you should also know what my goal is. Hua Ziqings expression was gentle, but none of his real intentions could be discerned from his tone; it was apparent that he was sounding Yun Ruofeng out.

Yun Ruofengs expression grew cold. This Prince doesnt know. Could you share with me?

Hua Ziqings attempts at probing Yun Ruofeng only ended up making the latter more cautious.

Despite being held captive, he was able to overturn his situation and rise up the ranks again; hes definitely not someone to be trifled with.

How can you not know what Im after when you are so astute and wise, Prince Yun? Hua Ziqings gentle face reflected his sincerity.

Yun Ruofeng knitted his brow. Tell me your bargaining chip.

Since you dont wish to be direct, Ill set out a bait to lure you into telling the truth.

A chill seized Hua Ziqings heart.

Yun Ruofeng is indeed intelligent, but its a pity for him that this Prince is no weakling.

Beimins Princess Consort Hao is Nanzhaos Eldest Imperial Princess who has been resurrected; this was something you spread, Prince Yun.

You laid out the bait, and Im holding you at your weak point; neither one is better than the other.

The aloofness left Yun Ruofeng, but the warning in his eyes was evident. You can eat the wrong food, but you cannot say the wrong things. Im sure you are well aware of that.
