Chapter 448: Unforgettable
Xie Pinggang did not understand, but he was a big-hearted person. Forget it since the Crown Prince did not like them. After all, it was late. It would be terrible for him to go to the brothel and get a few more good-looking ones now.
However, these two young ladies refused to leave.
After delivering the letter, they stayed at the entrance of Xie Pinggang’s courtyard, wanting to go in no matter what.
Xie Pinggang refused to listen to them. He immediately threw them out of his courtyard. Once the door was locked, no one could enter. He just let them cry outside the courtyard. The sorrowful voices were like the howling of ghosts that came one after another. However, Xie Pinggang was able to sleep soundly and did not care at all.
Was he worried? Not at all.
After Xie Qiao returned, she went to bed. She did not know anything about these things.
The next day, she went to the academy obediently and did not ask any more questions.
In the afternoon, the Crown Prince sat in the Yuefeng Restaurant with Xie Pinggang behind him.
“Your Highness, is there really a serious criminal here?” Xie Pinggang was a little suspicious.
There were more than ten guards in such a big restaurant. How dare a fugitive come here?
“I got the news that this fugitive booked this room. As long as someone comes in later, no matter who it is, beat him to the ground first. Don’t give him a chance to breathe, understand?” Zhao Xuanjing said with a smile and a cold gleam in his eyes.
“Yes,” Xie Pinggang nodded.
His Highness trusted him very much. When he went out today, he did not bring that lackey Zhou Weizong with him. He only asked Xie Pinggang to protect him at all times.
So no matter what, he absolutely could not let that fugitive hurt the Crown Prince.
Xie Pinggang thought for a moment and stood at the door.
He had already told the waiter not to come close, so he did not have to worry about accidentally injuring the waiter.
Zhao Xuanjing sipped his tea and a smile appeared on his face.
Xie Pinggang looked ferocious. He glanced at the tea in the Crown Prince’s hand and only laughed in his heart. This tea… what was so good about it? His Highness seemed to be a little upset earlier, but now he was drinking tea and smiling?
To him, tea was just leaves. If he ate it, the bitterness would be hard to swallow. Unless there was nothing to eat in a famine, he would not be willing to be a cow that ate grass.
However, he thought that this was the difference between him and His Highness.
The Crown Prince had a noble status and knew many things. Although he was not as strong as he was, he would not raise his voice and people did not dare to approach him.
He was born with the charisma of a king.
“Your Highness, what kind of criminal is he? Which case is he in?” While waiting, Xie Pinggang could not help but ask.
“He has committed ten crimes,” Zhao Xuanjing said casually.
“Ten crimes?” Xie Pinggang’s heart skipped a beat.
This fugitive was really bold. He had run away, but he dared to come back?
Xie Pinggang became more serious, and he grasped the saber in his hand even more tightly, “Your Highness, do you want me to execute him on the spot?”
“Execute him on the spot?” Zhao Xuanjing looked at his hand holding the saber, “Minister Xie, put down the saber. I want to capture him alive. I have many things to ask him, so you only need to teach him a lesson first.”
Xie Pinggang felt a little wasterful. He thought that the saber would see blood today.
Helplessly, he put the saber on the stool.
He continued to wait.
After 15 minutes, the sound of footsteps came from the door.
“Brother Li, I know you’re in there…” Zhao Xuzhi pushed the door open and said.
Zhao Xuanjing sneered. Zhao Xuzhi was quite good at coming up with excuses. If Xie Qiao was sitting here, would Zhao Xuzhi tell Xie Qiao that he accidentally opened the wrong door and mistook the wrong person? And he would tell her that it was love at first sight, someone unforgettable in his life?!
Zhao Xuanjing held the tea cup in his left hand. Thinking about it, he was upset. With a crack, the tea cup shattered.
There were some stains on his body.
At that moment, Zhao Xuzhi saw the man’s figure and was stunned for a moment before he could react…
With a thud, he felt pain on his body and he was smashed to the ground.
