Luan Hong subconsciously wanted to see Chu Jingfeng but was stopped by the people Su Qing had arranged beforehand. Luan Hong also calmed down. She couldn’t let her cousin’s good intentions down. She could also take this opportunity to see Chu Jingfeng’s att.i.tude towards her.
Ji Shuisheng looked at Chu Jingfeng’s arrogant and disdainful expression. Ji Shuisheng looked at him mockingly and sneered,
“What right does a Prince who has lost his country have to be proud?”
Chu Jingfeng did not believe Ji Shuisheng’s words at all. He flicked his sleeves and said arrogantly,
“Our Haza Country is strong. What a joke.”
Ji Shuisheng sneered and looked at Chu Jingfeng, who was still arrogant despite being a prisoner, and said slowly,
“Originally, the Haza Kingdom could still hold on for another eight to ten years, but because of you, the Haza Kingdom was destroyed yesterday. Your father and brother are now prisoners of Tartan. This surprise is pretty good.
“Nonsense.”
Seeing Ji Shuisheng’s att.i.tude, Jingfeng was no longer calm. He looked at Su Qing and tried to suppress the panic in his heart. He said to her affectionately, “Su Qing, everything I did was for you. He’s just a boorish man who doesn’t deserve you. I’m the only one who’s good for you.”
Luan Hong felt lightning struck her when she heard Chu Jingfeng’s words. Her body swayed, and her face was as pale as paper. So Chu Jingfeng liked his cousin? Then she would be a joke.
“Chu Jingfeng, aren’t you tired of pretending to be an infatuated young master for so long?”
Su Qing looked at Chu Jingfeng, who was in a sorry state and was still playing with her, and sneered,
” You only wanted to use your charms trick to make me fall in love with you and help you take the throne because you saw my ability. Unfortunately, in my eyes, you are not even worth a fingernail. No matter how much of a show of affection you put on, it is useless to me. Therefore, you panicked and ordered the capture of my cousin and family and then used them to force me to submit. Unfortunately, your efforts fell short. Originally, if the Haza Country and Jingshi Dao negotiated, you could have returned to the country and continued to be the prince. When you touch my family, the Haza Country will fall because of you.”
Su Qing’s words were like a heavy hammer smashing into Chu Jingfeng’s ears. His amorous eyes stared at Su Qing in disbelief. “You’re lying. How is it possible?”
Their country was so powerful; how could it be destroyed overnight?
He did not believe it; he did not believe it!
However, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng’s cold, arrogant expressions and contemptuous gazes still made him panic. He had seen Su Qing’s strength before. She could block thousands of troops by herself. It was because he saw her strength that he wanted to subdue her.
He had used his beauty trap for so long, but it was useless. She only had eyes for that rude and boorish man. Later on, when he was caught, she also watched coldly. This made Chu Jingfeng, who had always been very good at dealing with women, feel a sense of defeat that he had never felt before.
Later on, he realized that Luan Hong had fallen for him. He got a lot of information about Su Qing from her and knew she greatly valued her family. Chu Jingfeng had his eyes on her.
He wanted to use Su Qing’s parents and brother to coerce her into submission. If she arrived in the country of Haza, he would be the hero who saved the damsel in distress. It would be best to deceive her in desperate situations.
It was also his plan to kill two birds with one stone. Otherwise, if his father sent people to Jingshi Dao to negotiate, he could return safely, and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
Where did the problem come from? The great general of the Haza Kingdom was invincible. Could he not capture a little girl with his elite soldiers?
“A prince of a fallen nation has no value. Men, push him out and kill him.”
Ji Shuisheng flicked the dust off his clothes and said lightly. There was no trace of rudeness in his kingly aura.
Chu Jingfeng became even more fl.u.s.tered. He looked at Su Qing for help,
“Su Qing, I have deep feelings for you, and you treat me like this?”
“My family is my weakness. If you touch my family, I will take your life.”
Su Qing looked coldly at Chu Jingfeng, who was still performing. Her voice was calm but murderous.
“Qing’er.”
Luan Hong walked out from behind the screen with tears all over her face. Chu Jingfeng was frightened by Su Qing’s murderous aura. From her cold eyes, he knew that regardless of whether the news of the country’s subjugation was true, he would face a great calamity today.
Seeing Luan Hong, his eyes reignited with hope, Chu Jingfeng pleaded for help,
“Luan Hong, save me. After I return to the country, I will ask my father to marry you for me.”
He was still using the charms on Luan Hong and was convinced that she would save him. This inexperienced little girl was already smitten by him and could even give her life, not to mention that he was using the n.o.ble ident.i.ty of the princess consort to seduce her!
Luan Hong looked at Chu Jingfeng sadly. She was sentimental but not stupid. She had heard it very clearly from behind the screen just now. He had tricked her and her cousin at the same time. Not only could he enjoy the beauty of both of them, but he could also make her his own. He had planned it well.
Therefore, he had a motive for saving her in the Tartar Kingdom. It was ridiculous that she was deeply in love with him because of his heroic act of saving the damsel in distress. Everything was a scheme!
But she still couldn’t bear to see him die!
Luan Hong was filled with grief and resentment. She hated herself for being indecisive and for being so emotional.
Su Qing looked at her cousin quietly and said nothing to comfort her. She had to get over it.
Luan Hong struggled a few times before she hardened her heart and slapped Chu Jingfeng’s devilish face, knocking away his affectionate and charming eyes. Seeing the cruelty in his eyes, Luan Hong sneered,
“Go to h.e.l.l!”
Su Qing was happy to see that her cousin had gotten over it. She was most afraid that she would be the kind of woman who would die for a man.
Ji Shuisheng saw that Chu Jingfeng no longer had any cards to use and ordered coldly,
“I’ll pull you out and chop you off!”
Are you s.n.a.t.c.hing Qing’er from me? I’ll send you to h.e.l.l!
“No, you can’t kill me. I’m the prince of the Haza Kingdom. If you kill me before we start fighting, it’s a declaration of war against the Haza Kingdom!”
This time, Chu Jingfeng was fl.u.s.tered. He no longer had the image of a handsome young master. He protested loudly at Ji Shuisheng. His voice was no longer charming and magnetic. He shouted hysterically, afraid that if he lowered his voice, he would have to move his head.
“Push him out.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Chu Jingfeng contemptuously. If he were tough, he would still respect him as a man. However, he was just a cowardly person who was not worthy of coveting his Qing’er.
Because Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng were bold, they did not take Chu Jingfeng seriously at all. Therefore, they did not tie him up. They only tied his hands.
Seeing that he was going to die, Chu Jingfeng went all out. He shouted hysterically as he moved closer to the sad Luan Hong. He secretly used his internal strength to break the rope tied to his hand and reached out to grab Luan Hong.
Luan Hong screamed in shock. It was too late for her to run, but Chu Jingfeng grabbed her by the throat and threatened Su Qing fiercely,
“Let me go, or else…I’ll let her be buried with me.”
Su Qing stood up unhurriedly and walked towards Chu Jingfeng step by step. Her cold voice did not have a trace of warmth,
“Even if I let you go, will you be able to escape the Jingshi Dao?”
