Chapter 40

  "Your Highness, please let the military doctor take a look. [Shu Ke Ju] Super-speed update provides free VIP WW_?8?9 literary network" Chu Wei said with concern as he skillfully bandaged Xuan Yuan Chen's wound, he was always by the king's side and had bandaged his wounds many times before, this kind of injury wasn't serious, but he felt that the king was too exhausted.

  Xuanyuan Chen's face slightly sank, "This king is not so easily killed." All these years, in order to avenge the destruction of his family, he had endured all sorts of hardships. Being injured was nothing new to him, as long as he was still alive, he would definitely...

  "Your Highness..." A respectful voice suddenly came in during his contemplation.

  Xuanyuan Cheng slightly raised his eyes and saw General Wu standing outside the door, slightly furrowed his brow, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

  "The marshal has set up a banquet in the hall, inviting the king to come over and discuss the matters of Xiliang City together." General Wu said cautiously, his eyes still slightly probing towards Xuan Yuan Chen.

  Following common sense, he was the prince and also the emperor's reinforcements. When he arrived at Xiliang City, Murong Lingyun naturally had to entertain him well and at least explain the situation in Xiliang City in detail.

  It's just that with the personality of a prince, it's not necessarily going to work out.

  Xuan Yuan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in the depths of his pupils. He had never been concerned with those trivial matters, but as for the situation in Xiliang City, he should have investigated it clearly when he entered the city, so he didn't need to listen to Murong Lingyun's words at all.

  Just as he was about to refuse, his eyes flashed quickly, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back, paused for a moment, and said lightly, "Hmm, I see. What's up?"

  General Wu was slightly stunned, looking at him with a hint of surprise, seemingly not expecting him to agree so readily. He repeatedly replied, "Yes, yes, I will go back and report to the commander-in-chief immediately."

  Chu Wei, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The prince had always disliked such gatherings, let alone when the other party was Murong Lingyun, and the prince was currently injured. The prince's response at this moment was indeed beyond his expectations.

  "Prince Wang, you're still injured?" Chu Wei said with a hint of concern.

  Xuanyuan swept a faint glance at him, "Go and get clothes for me." Just then, even he himself didn't understand why he suddenly agreed. It was as if something flashed through his mind, with a hint of expectation or curiosity.

  Knowing his temperament, Chu Wei understood that once he made up his mind, there was no changing it, so he could only go fetch some clothes and help him change.

  After changing his clothes, he didn't delay much and went straight to the main hall. As he walked into the main hall, his eyes seemed to casually lift up and glance at the figure standing beside Murong Lingyun, and his eyes flashed slightly.

  "Your Highness, please." Seeing him enter, Murong Lingyun quickly got up, but a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Xuan Yuan Zhen to arrive so soon.

  Xuan Yuan Chen didn't show any refusal, but only gave a faint glance at Ling Feng, then actually walked straight to the upper seat that Murong Lingyun had already prepared for him.

  "I have failed in my duty, unable to repel the enemy, and now Your Majesty has had to come here personally. I am truly ashamed. This humble general first begs for punishment from Your Majesty." Murong Lingyun waited for him to sit down, then spoke seriously, "This time it was indeed because he was too hasty, which gave Daxuan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

  After all, it was indeed his dereliction of duty.

  "Murong Yuanshuai knew it was his own dereliction of duty, that's all." Xuan Yuan Chen's face was cold and detached, his voice equally icy and emotionless, regarding Murong Lingyun's apology as a matter of course.

  It's impossible for Murong Lingyun to get hurt so easily with his abilities, although Da Xuran is also not an ordinary person, but Murong Lingyun has been through many battles and it's unlikely that he would fall into Da Xuran's trap so easily.

  It's easy to understand why Murong Lingyun refused before sending troops, and the reason for his injury this time.

  Murong Lingyun was taken aback, then said in a low voice, "Yes, it was indeed my negligence. Once I return to the capital, I will naturally go and apologize to the Emperor myself."

  "Negligence?" Xuan Yuan Chen slightly raised an eyebrow, and then his eyes suddenly sank, coldly saying, "I think you're absent-minded." As he spoke, his eyes seemed to be hinting at something as they gazed towards Ling Feng.

  Although Xiliang City is small, it is a border town of the Xuan Yuan Dynasty and also an important defense for the Xuan Yuan Dynasty. If Xiliang City falls, it will bring great danger to the Xuan Yuan Dynasty.

  Murong Lingyun, however, almost put the Xuan Yuan dynasty in danger due to his own personal affairs, and this responsibility is not small.

  Oh, it's so beautiful!

  "No matter what the responsibility is, I will take it all on myself and accept whatever punishment. " Murong Lingyun said calmly, but when he looked at Ling Feng, a hint of concern flashed in his eyes, "Feng Er came to Xiliang City privately this time, which indeed violated military discipline. However, Feng Er didn't know the military rules, there's a saying that 'those who don't know are not guilty', I hope Your Highness can be magnanimous and forgive her this time."

  He admired Murong Lingyun, with the same pride and arrogance, but for her, he could do anything, including saving him.

  This time Lingfeng came to Xiliang City, it's a big deal or a small matter, how to handle it, all depends on Xuan Yuan Chen's one word, so he would be anxious to invite Xuan Yuan Chen to the main hall.

  Moreover, he also let Ling Feng stay in the hall. Since Xuan Yuan Zhi already knew, he didn't need to pretend anymore. And since he was here without Ya Tou, someone had to serve tea and pour wine. Now, letting Ling Feng come out was better than having Xuan Yuan Zhi speak up.

  Everything is quiet and observing its changes

  Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. His left hand slowly picked up the wine cup in front of him and slowly rotated it, but his profound and inscrutable face made it impossible for others to guess what he was thinking.

  "Feng, go and help Wang Ye pour wine." Murong Lingyun suddenly spoke up, his eyes fixed on Xuan Yuan Chen. Although he couldn't understand what Xuan Yuan Chen was thinking either, at least Xuan Yuan Chen hadn't spoken out to question him.

  Ling Feng was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing through his eyes, but he obediently walked over, keeping his head down, slowly picking up the wine jug, yet Xuan Yuan Chen showed no intention of putting down his cup.

  After a brief moment of hesitation, Ling Feng had no choice but to speak up, "Your Highness, please."

  Xuanyuan Chen's eyes stared straight at her, but all he could see was her forehead hidden by her bangs. A flash of annoyance flickered in the depths of his eyes. "What? Pouring wine for me makes you so unwilling?"

  Ling Feng was slightly startled, of course, he understood his meaning, and slowly raised his head again, saying "Your Highness, please." At this moment, he didn't dare to provoke him.

  Xuan Yuan Cheng stretched out the wine cup in his hand, but instead of putting it on the table, he held it in his hand and handed it to her face.

  Ling Feng hesitated for a moment before picking up the wine jug, slowly pouring it down. Due to his shaking or her nervousness, some wine spilled onto his hand. However, he didn't show any sign of annoyance, instead, a faint smile spread across his lips.

  Murong Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Xuan Yuan's expression seemed to be quite different from his usual self.

  Ling Feng turned back to Murong Lingyun's side, just about to pour him a drink, when he suddenly remembered that he was injured and couldn't drink alcohol. He put down the wine jug in his hand and picked up the tea in front of Murong Lingyun instead.

  This wasn't a formal banquet, so there weren't many rules to follow. Xuan Yuan Zhi also knew he was injured and couldn't drink, so Murong Lingyun didn't stop him, letting Ling Feng pour him tea instead.

  Only the faint smile at the corner of Xuan Yuan's lips suddenly froze, and the hand holding the wine cup also tightened suddenly. The wine cup couldn't withstand his sudden force, and it shattered with a loud "crack".

  Everyone in the hall was shocked and subconsciously looked at him.
