Stranger and Chen in the Palace

As soon as the two approached, the whip that was still beating the girl just now was suddenly thrown towards Xue Zimo who was the closest. Ling Yichen knew that he had played a trick, and hurriedly drew out the fixing sword to cut off the whip and protect Xue Zimo.

At this time, a group of people quickly gathered around, and they all attacked Ling Yichen.Ling Yichen had to protect Xue Zimo and deal with a group of people who rushed up suddenly, so he was soon stretched.

Lian Feng and Lian Huang saw this posture and quickly flew forward.

Seeing someone rushing up to help, the group of people immediately threw the iron chains at Ling Yichen, trying to bind his limbs.Ling Yichen cut off an iron chain with his backhand, and the other hand also reacted very quickly to grab the chain that was about to be wound up, but his feet were tightly entangled by the flying iron chain.

Lian Feng Lianhuang quickly stepped forward to cut off the iron chain on Ling Yichen's feet, both guarding him, and several hidden guards around joined in the melee.Although Ling Yichen's staff was small, they were all top-notch players, and they gained the upper hand in an instant.

Suddenly, Ling Yichen yelled to stop, and everyone present was stunned.

Soon, the original group of attackers became excited, and the hidden guards here were shocked when they saw the current situation, because Xue Zimo was held hostage by the leader of the opponent.

The people who were fighting together quickly separated and moved closer to their own people.Ling Yichen stared at the dagger on Xue Zimo's neck.

The man holding the hostage said proudly: "You are smart, if you shout a little later, his life will be lost." As he said that, the dagger moved again, and it came closer, and it was about to cut his throat.Ling Yichen took a step forward in shock, and said angrily, "Let him go—" At this moment, all his composure and rationality had been lost.

Lian Huang also scolded: "Bold thief, do you know who you are arresting, let go of Mr. Xue quickly."

"He, hmph, is just a male pet who is attracted by his beauty, so it is not a pity to die." The man said disdainfully.In yesterday's scene, they hid among the onlookers, but they could see clearly.

Ling Yichen's eyes were bloodthirsty: "If you dare to hurt him, I will bury you all with him!"

The man was startled by Ling Yichen's ruthlessness, and then smiled: "I didn't expect the Third Highness to care about him so much, then things will be much easier."

Ling Yichen clenched his fists tightly, he forced himself to calm down: "What do you want?"

The man didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Relief food and treasury silver. I want to exchange him for the emperor's relief supplies. Since the imperial court doesn't care about the lives of the people, we can only plan for ourselves."

Lian Huang anxiously said: "Do you know that His Highness is here for disaster relief, and the relief food has already been distributed last night. If you don't believe me, you can ask the sheriff of Dianxi County, he is also here."

The sheriff of Dianxi County nodded hurriedly when he heard the words.

The man snorted coldly: "It's just like before, just putting on a show. If the imperial court is really interested in disaster relief, why only send you here instead of allocating relief supplies?"

"We came here first to understand the situation, and the supplies will arrive later." Lian Huang hurriedly explained.

The man sneered, and said to Ling Yichen: "You think I still believe it, do you know how many people we starved to death, three, Your Highness, Your Majesty—"

"That being the case, I will be your hostage. I am the emperor's son. Using me to threaten the emperor is definitely more effective than him." Ling Yichen looked at the man and said coldly.

Although Xue Zimo was held hostage, he remained calm and calm until he heard this: "Your Highness, please don't mess around—"

Ling Yichen gave him a distressed look, but didn't answer, but turned to ask the man: "How?"

The man hesitated for a while, and said: "We were planning to arrest you to force the emperor to distribute relief supplies. It's good for you to be a hostage voluntarily, but you are not weak in martial arts. Since arresting him can force you to submit, why should we take the risk?" This risk."

Hearing this, Ling Yichen said coldly: "It's easy to handle. I'll cripple my right hand, so you can rest assured." After speaking, he quickly drew out the Fixing Sword and stabbed at his right hand. Xue Zimo was so startled that he shouted: "Don't——"

Blood gushed down immediately, soaking his clothes, but it wasn't Ling Yichen's hands, but Lian Feng's.

At the critical moment, Lian Feng blocked Ling Yichen with his own arm. Without that knife, it was really a cruel move. All the meridians on Lian Feng's arm were cut off, and this left hand might be useless from now on.

This scene frightened the sheriff of Dianxi County so that his legs became weak and he fell to the ground. Although he was not in the imperial capital, he also knew that the emperor loved the third prince very much. If something happened to him on his own land, Then he would really never want to live again.

Fortunately, fortunately, Lian Feng blocked that knife!

Ling Yichen glanced at Lian Feng displeasedly, Xue Zimo gave Lian Feng a grateful look, and Lian Huang immediately bandaged him to stop the bleeding.

"Your Highness, if you lose your right hand for Zimo, Zimo will definitely pay you with both hands." Xue Zimo said urgently.

Ling Yichen called helplessly: "Mo—"

After the man finished speaking the last sentence in Xue Zimo, he suddenly stopped, looked at him in disbelief and said, "You, what did you say was your name?"

Xue Zimo gave him a strange look.The man said to himself: "Your name is Zimo? It seems that someone called you Mr. Xue just now." He was suddenly shocked and said, "You, you are Xue Zimo——"

Lian Huang said anxiously: "Since you know, why don't you let Young Master Xue go."

The man shook his head again and again, as if he had received a huge blow: "You are Xue Zimo!" I heard that Xue Zimo was quite handsome, but I didn't expect that the real person was even more beautiful than the rumors.

The governor of Dianxi County and the group of people also looked at Xue Zimo in surprise at this moment. Is he Xue Zimo?

Is he the most handsome man in the world?

No wonder, no wonder Ling Yichen treated him so courteously.They thought that this very good-looking son was the favorite of the Third Highness, but they really couldn't think of it, really couldn't think of it.

Seeing the man's absent-minded appearance, Ling Yichen was very worried, for fear that he would accidentally hurt Xue Zimo, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Be careful with your hands, let him go—" The man finally recovered after hearing the words, and actually let go took the dagger.

Ling Yichen immediately went over to protect Xue Zimo behind him.

Lianfeng Lianhuang quickly stepped forward to restrain the group of people, Xue Zimo turned to Ling Yichen and said: "Let them go, they are also for the affected people."

"They almost killed you." Ling Yichen said unwillingly.

Xue Zimo smiled: "After all, I'm not hurt, am I?"

Ling Yichen looked at Xue Zimo for a while, and really didn't want to disobey him, so he had to ask Lianfeng Lianhuang to let those people go.

The person who held Xue Zimo before stood there, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed to him: "Mr. Xue, I'm sorry, if I knew it was you, I would never be so rude. Fortunately, I didn't hurt you, otherwise It’s really unavoidable.”

Xue Zimo was surprised: "You know me?"

The man laughed at himself: "How lucky am I to know you, but you are already famous outside, and you are as humble as me, and you have heard of your name."

"My master didn't just hear about it. He has always respected you, Mr. Xue. The master also has a painting of yours. He cherishes it more than his own body. You don't even know that once he took your painting with you. I went to show a friend a painting, but it rained heavily on the way back, and he even took off his coat to cover your painting. It turned out that the painting was fine, and he burned it himself for three days and three nights." Another person said.

Xue Zimo didn't know what to say for a while when he heard the words, the man also felt embarrassed, and scolded the people beside him: "Speak up!"

Ling Yichen gave the man a meaningful look.

Back at the station, the group of people told them what happened.

It turned out that the leader was Xiao Zheng, who was originally the young master of a wealthy family in Dianxi County.His parents died early, and he has managed the huge family business by himself since he was 15 years old, and he managed the family business in an orderly manner.

Until two and a half months ago, when the Fen River flooded, the government initially provided relief to the affected people, but later, seeing that there were too many victims, they not only stopped helping, but intensified their search for the people.Xiao Zheng couldn't see it, so he found some like-minded people and distributed his family property to help the victims.But for the large number of disaster victims, their little family business was a drop in the bucket, and after the family business was gone, there was nothing they could do.At this moment, they heard that the imperial court sent the third prince to rescue the disaster, so they came up with a way to arrest Ling Yichen and threaten the emperor, and that's how the incident just happened.

After hearing this, Ling Yichen sneered, "Master Xiao is good at martial arts."

Xiao Zheng remembered what he did to threaten Xue Zimo just now, and his face blushed.

Xue Zimo broke the siege and said: "Young Master Xiao was born in a wealthy family, but he can do his best for the victims. It is really admirable."

Xiao Zheng leaned over and said to Xue Zimo: "They are all fellow villagers, this is what they should be, I was reckless in what happened just now, please forgive me, Mr. Xue, and I will make a special trip to apologize to Mr. Xue in the future."

"Young Master Xiao also has good intentions. Of course I won't blame you. It's just that His Highness did come here for disaster relief. The imperial court attaches great importance to the flooding of the Fen River. Please rest assured that we will help the victims out of the predicament as soon as possible." Xue Zimo said.

Xiao Zheng said seriously: "Mr. Xue said so, so I naturally believe it. If there is something that can be done in a small way, Mr. Xue will just take orders."

Xue Zimo smiled and said: "His Highness is in charge of coordinating the disaster relief. I believe His Highness will definitely need Mr. Xiao's help in the future."

Xiao Zheng nodded, and said to Ling Yichen: "Then His Highness will just take orders from now on."

Ling Yichen thought he didn't like it, and responded lightly: "Yes, you can go."

Xiaozheng was a little embarrassed, Xue Zimo looked at Ling Yichen helplessly, and smiled apologetically at Xiaozheng: "Everyone is a little tired after so many things happened today, Mr. Xiao should go back to rest earlier, and he will have the strength to do his best for the victims when he has enough energy. "

Xiao Zheng also saw that Ling Yichen did not welcome him, so he wisely said: "In this case, I will leave first, Mr. Xue was shocked today, please rest earlier."

Xue Zimo agreed with a smile, and asked someone to send Xiao Zheng and the others out.

As soon as Xiao Zheng went out, Ling Yichen hugged Xue Zimo and said quietly: "He almost hurt you, why are you so nice to him?"

"How can I treat him well?" Xue Zimo laughed.

Ling Yichen hugged Xue Zimo even tighter: "He is interested in you, don't you see it?"

Xue Zimo shook his head and sighed, "You think too much."

Ling Yichen was still afraid for a while when he remembered what happened in the morning. If Xiaozheng was not Xue Zimo's admirer, the consequences would be unimaginable.Thinking of the word "admirer", Ling Yichen felt very uncomfortable: "Anyway, I just don't like him."

Xue Zimo had no choice but to break free from his embrace, and said, "Lian Feng was injured for you today, why don't you go and see him?"

Ling Yichen lowered his eyes, although he was unhappy that Lian Feng had made his own decisions, but Lian Feng was hurt because of him after all: "I'll go later."

Xue Zimo suddenly said solemnly: "Promise me, you won't be so impulsive in the future, if it wasn't for Lianfeng today, your hand would be useless."

Ling Yichen rested his chin lightly on Xue Zimo's shoulder, clasped his waist with both hands and said seriously: "Don't say that one hand can change you back, even if it takes my life, I will give it to you."

Xue Zimo's shoulders trembled slightly when he heard this, and he sighed for a long time, it would be great if Ling Yichen wasn't the prince.
