"Name?" The tall young man paused, then turned around and revealed a smile as bright as his sun spirit.
"My name is Xu Sheng."
After saying this, the tall young man strode out of the interrogation room.
Xu Mochen watched them leave, not daring to stop them, and the excitement in his heart grew stronger.
Judging from the tall young man's tone and hints, he seems to be the Third Prince's man as well.
But when did the Third Prince secretly cultivate such a confidant and win over a Titled Douluo to stand up for him?
With the support of Titled Douluo, the possibility of the Third Prince competing for the position of Crown Prince will be even greater. As the Third Prince's subordinate, won't I get less benefits by then?
Chapter 213 Jing Hongchen's Powerlessness
The mysterious royal youth with the sun martial spirit, the black-robed Titled Douluo, and Xiao Hongchen have already left the interrogation room.
When Xu Mochen came to his senses, the first person he looked for was the middle-aged man.
He asked coldly, "What's going on? Didn't you say that the person who injured Wang Shaojie was just a civilian? How come he became the grandson of Master Mingde?"
At this moment, he didn't know that this subordinate had deceived him, but he didn't expect that this subordinate who had always been diligent and serious would cause him such a big trouble.
The head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, is a Titled Douluo and a ninth-level soul mentor. Even His Majesty has to treat him with respect.
His most beloved grandson, Xiao Hongchen, is the number one genius in the Sun-Moon Empire. How could their royal patrol team afford to offend such a person?
"I'm asking you a question!" Seeing that his subordinate was pretending to be mute, Xu Mochen couldn't help but get furious.
If this matter is not handled properly, not only will their royal patrol team suffer, but even the third prince will be implicated.
Originally, Wang Shaojie was just a member of the side branch, and the Third Prince usually didn't even bother to look at him. If the captain wasn't his cousin, the patrol team would never have stood up for him.
Xu Mochen couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if the tall young man had not stopped them and they really made Xiao Hongchen suffer a lot of damage.
After all, they have killed or disabled at least eighty soul masters, if not a hundred.
The subordinate just trembled all over, lowered his head and denied it, with a deathly look on his face.
"I...I don't know either..."
He knew that he was a death warrior secretly trained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He had to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a moment. After completing this mission, he would definitely have no way to survive.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not allow him to commit suicide, as that would only add to his suspicion and someone would come to take his life.
The only thing he had to do now was to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the information about the tall young man and the Titled Douluo who had suddenly appeared and might be related to the Third Prince.
boom--
The terrifying pressure once again enveloped the interrogation room, and Xu Mochen and others couldn't help but shrink back suddenly.
They had just experienced the same level of pressure and were very familiar with it.
"Another Titled Douluo."
Xu Mochen murmured.
Jing Hongchen barged into the interrogation room with a gloomy face and shouted, "Xu Mochen, where is my grandson?"
"How dare you trespass into my Sun Moon Academy and arrest my beloved grandson? You, the Royal Patrol, have so much power!"
Xu Mochen replied respectfully: "Master Hongchen, there must be a misunderstanding. I just found out that it was your grandson who was arrested by mistake."
As a direct descendant of the royal family, he has no affiliation with Jing Hongchen, but he needs to properly handle the relationship between the third prince and Jing Hongchen.
At this moment, another old voice said:
"Since it's a misunderstanding, where is the Red Dust Hall Master's beloved grandson now?"
The person who spoke was Shadow Douluo Xuechen, who had just "coincidentally" met Jing Hongchen. It was at this time that the royal patrol team discovered that there was such a hunchbacked old man beside Jing Hongchen.
In fact, this was not a coincidence at all. This Shadow Douluo was originally a man of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, and had been waiting for Jing Hongchen in the imperial city for a long time.
When Jing Hongchen arrived at the imperial city, he followed him to the royal patrol team and happened to see his beloved grandson being severely tortured.
However, the reality was different from what Xu Tianran had planned. Xiao Hongchen, who had been captured by the royal patrol team, was nowhere to be found.
Xue Chen glanced at the spy seemingly casually, and the latter fell to his knees and said loudly: "Master Hongchen, this is all my negligence. I am willing to die to atone for my sin."
"But now your grandson has been sent back to the academy by a royal disciple named Xu Sheng."
Xue Chen heard what he wanted to reveal and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me everything that happened just now."
The middle-aged man did not hide anything and told Xue Chen about the mysterious young man with the Sun Martial Spirit and the black-robed figure with the strength of a Titled Douluo.
Jing Hongchen couldn't help but stare in anger.
If it weren't for those two mysterious men, given his grandson's physical fitness, his foundation might really be damaged.
Xuechen couldn't help but frown.
He thought about the powerful princes and their respective factions, but he had never heard of a royal member named Xu Sheng.
Logically speaking, a royal family member who possesses the Sun Martial Spirit would be the focus of attention from the moment he awakens, and it would be impossible for him not to know about it.
The Sun Martial Spirit plus an unknown Titled Douluo, who ruined the Crown Prince's plan?
Xue Chen knew that he had to tell Xu Tianran the news as soon as possible.
He looked at Jing Hongchen and asked, "Master, in my opinion, this royal patrol team is a bit too presumptuous. Fortunately, no disaster has occurred. How do you want to solve this problem?"
Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice: "I will report this to His Majesty and he will make the decision."
Xue Chen laughed and said, "Why bother? Hall Master, if you don't want to do it, then I will do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold murderous intent flashed across Xue Chen's body.
The next second, a line of blood appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead, his eyes were lifeless, and he had turned into a corpse.
"Since this guy mistakenly captured your beloved grandson, let him pay the price."
This was one of the purposes of his trip, to kill and silence the witnesses.
Even if they knew it was a frame-up, what would happen? No one dared to suspect that it was the Crown Prince's doing.
Jing Hongchen had a gloomy face, but still said, "Thank you, Brother Xue."
Then he left the Royal Guard House.
On the way back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, he looked solemn and muttered to himself, "Your Highnesses, His Majesty has only been ill for many years, are you already ready to make a move?"
After a brief rage, he regained his senses and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
As the head of Mingde Hall, he had lived for so many years, how could he not see that someone was trying to sow discord between him and the Third Prince.
But at this moment, the Master of Mingde Hall felt a little powerless.
"I am loyal to the Sun Moon Empire and do not want to get involved in the fights between the princes. If you have anything to say, come to me. Please don't stare at my grandchildren."
The Hongchen siblings are his weak spot, and today is just a reminder.
If in the future there really is a prince who threatens his grandchildren in the fight for the throne, he doesn't know what choice he should make.
Jing Hongchen sighed and disappeared into the night.
……
Xiao Hongchen followed the tall young man and the black-robed figure and left the imperial city directly.
He pressed the wound on his back lightly. The blood had stopped flowing, but a hole about three centimeters deep was left.
“Huh…” Xiao Hongchen held back the pain and frowned as he asked, “Where’s the student named Huo Yuhao? Didn’t you say you would bring him out as well?”
The tall young man named Xu Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and smiled: "I didn't expect you to care about me so much."
"I admit, I was a little moved."
As he spoke, his figure disappeared, along with the black-robed figure.
Xiao Hongchen stared in amazement at the person whose true face was revealed, and he immediately understood everything.
After a long while, he finally uttered a word through his teeth.
"Huo Yuhao."
"You are really brave."
Chapter 214 Jing Hongchen's Gratitude
Xiao Hongchen gradually put away the surprise on his face and asked, "I see, is this also your simulated soul skill?"
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers: "Of course."
Xiao Hongchen murmured, "Not only his appearance and figure, but he can even imitate the aura of a Titled Douluo?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said nothing.
He was also worried that his simulation was not real enough, so he specially asked the Ice Emperor to come out from the Sea of Spirit to support him.
The black-robed person with nine spirit rings given to her by Huo Yuhao behind her was naturally the Ice Queen. Her current aura was just enough to disguise her as an ordinary Titled Douluo.
Of course, Xiao Hongchen knew nothing about this and thought it was all caused by Huo Yuhao's simulation.
He stood there blankly for a moment and sneered.
Xiao Hongchen suddenly felt that everything that happened tonight was ridiculous.
He said in a deep voice: "Huo Yuhao, do you know what you just did?"
"Impersonating a member of the royal family is a serious crime. Someone once pretended to be a member of the royal family and deceived others, but he was executed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "As long as you don't tell anyone else, how will the royal family know?"
Xiao Hongchen sneered: "How can you guarantee that I won't tell anyone?"
Huo Yuhao sneered back, “If it weren’t for me, you would have been torn to pieces by now. Do you want to be ungrateful?”
Thinking of what happened just now, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but put away his smile and cursed with gritted teeth: "The Royal Patrol is a bunch of bastards, is Wang Shaojie's backer so powerful?"
Huo Yuhao shrugged: "After all, he is a member of the royal family."
"So what if he's a member of the royal family? He's just a side branch." Xiao Hongchen said, "Even His Majesty has to pay homage to our Hongchen family."
Huo Yuhao said seriously: "Can't you see it? This is a premeditated murder by borrowing a knife."
