Su Xuan’s thin lips parted.
Princess Hui An closed her eyes. “I’m asleep!”
The fire in front of Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao burned out.
There was not enough firewood in the cave to last two fires until dawn. Wei Ting carried Su Xiaoxiao back to the original fire.
Su Xiaoxiao rested her head on his slender legs. He pulled over the dried robe and covered her.
Su Xuan and Princess Hui An sat opposite the two of them. The dancing flames reflected their faces.
Wei Ting was hugging his wife. It was only right and proper. There was nothing to be ashamed of.
Su Xuan, who had no status, could actually remain calm after being physically close to the princess. He was even calmer than Wei Ting.
Ever since he learned about Su Xuan’s past from his second brother, Wei Ting would no longer treat him as an ordinary person.
He looked calm on the surface, but who knew if he was really calm.
“Shall we chat?” Wei Ting said casually.
Su Xuan glanced at him indifferently.
Before Su Xuan’s identity was exposed, he had always been a quiet and gentle person. After removing his disguise, he seemed to be too lazy to pretend anymore and the smile on his face disappeared. He gave off a sense of isolation with a casual look.
Wei Ting said, “I won’t beat you up.”
Su Xuan said, “You can’t beat me up either.”
Wei Ting said fiercely, “Do you want to fight?”
If Su MO were here, the two of them would have fought.
Su Xuan was not the eldest brother and did not have such a strong desire to win.
Wei Ting had once felt that Su Xuan hit it off with his second brother because their personalities were similar. However, he no longer felt that way. Although Second Brother was also a quiet person, his heart was warm.
Su Xuan’s heart was like a dead glacier.
Wei Ting was a man, so he naturally would not pity another man.
He was only a little puzzled. ‘You’re the son of a duke but you’re not the eldest son. Why do you have to inherit the family business? If you can’t practice martial arts, so be it. Why do you have to torture yourself to get into the Assassin Alliance? Were you forced by your master?”
Su Xuan didn’t answer him. Instead, he asked, “Are you sure you want to talk to me about this?”
Of course not.
Wei Ting was not interested in a man. He knew that Su Xuan was doing this for strategic reasons.
Know yourself and your enemy and you will win a hundred battles. He had to prevent Su Xuan from attacking his father again.
Wei Ting looked at him casually. “If you were forced, I advise you not to touch my father. I’m afraid my father is the only one in the world who can deal with the Alliance Master of the Assassin Alliance!”
Su Xuan said nothing.
That was all Wei Ting had to say. He was not afraid if they really fell out.
“Are the deaths of my third, fourth, and fifth brothers related to the Assassin Alliance?”
Su Xuan said, “I didn’t hear that the Assassin Alliance has a second mission in
Broken North Pass.”
Wei Ting stared straight at his calm eyes. “What happened to my eldest brother, second brother, and sixth brother? They all lost a part of their memories. Who did this?”
Su Xuan said, “I left early. I don’t know what happened after that. I only know that the Saintess did go to Broken North Pass. General Wei Xu’s poisoning should be related to her.”
This guess coincided with Wei Ting’s.
Ordinary poison could not do anything to his father. Only a poison expert like the Saintess could succeed.
Thinking of the Saintess, a cold glint flashed across Wei Ting’s eyes. “Then how did you know that my second brother was in the Western Jin?”
Su Xuan replied, “I didn’t know. I just heard of Zhuge Qing’s name and investigated his background a little. It was Cousin who told me that Wei Qing might still be alive that I had this guess.”
As he spoke, he added a piece of firewood to the fire.
When he moved, Princess Hui An slid into his arms.
Her soft body lay on his lap with the fragrance of a young girl.
She was facing Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao with her clothes slightly open.
Su Xuan covered her with his outer robe.
Wei Ting looked straight ahead and continued to look at Su Xuan. “One last question. There’s a backer behind Northern Yan who gave them a lot of military salary. Is this backer the King of the Southern Wilderness?”
Su Xuan paused. “Yes.”
Indeed!
Everything clicked into place.
The rise of the Northern Yan against the Great Zhou was supported and instigated by the King of the Southern Wilderness.
The salary of 200,000 soldiers for several years was not a small expense. Because it was carried out secretly, it could not be taken out of the treasury. It could only be the private treasury of the King of the Southern Wilderness. How could the King of the Southern Wilderness have so much money?
He could only rely on the Cheng family’s mine.
The tragedy of the Wei family was definitely related to the King of the Southern Wilderness and the Saintess!
He wanted these two to pay the price!
There were many ferocious beasts in the forest.
Wei Ting and Su Xuan took turns on night duty. Su Xuan was on duty for the first half of the night, and Wei Ting was on duty for the second half.
When Princess Hui An woke up, the sky was already bright and the rain had stopped.
The sunlight was a little blinding.
She found herself lying beside the fire. The bonfire had almost burned out, leaving only a few sections of charcoal still smoking.
Under her was Su Xuan’s outer robe.
The cave was empty.
A wave of fear enveloped her. She sat up and said, “Su Xuan! Little Sidekick!” Su Xuan walked in.
He was carrying a few washed fruits in his arms. In his right hand was a water bucket made of large leaves that was filled with sweet spring water.
He handed the water and fruits to Princess Hui An. “The mountain is simple. Please make do with it, Princess.”
Seeing him, Princess Hui An’s heart, which had almost jumped into her throat, fell back into place.
She took the water.
Su Xuan placed the fruit with a layer of clean leaves on his outer robe.
Princess Hui An washed up in the spring and called him in. “Where’s Little Sidekick and Brother Ting?”
“They left,” Su Xuan said.
Su Xiaoxiao woke up hungry before dawn.
Wei Ting was angry but could not bear to let her go hungry, so he brought her back to the city to eat.
Princess Hui An knew that Su Xiaoxiao was still carrying a child and couldn’t be hungry.
She took a fruit and handed it to him.
Su Xuan said, “I’ve eaten.”
Princess Hui An took a bite. It was a little sour. It was not as sweet as the fruits in the palace, but she liked it very much.
She recalled the scene of her taking the initiative to lean on his shoulder last night and couldn’t help but blush.
When she returned to the capital, she would ask her grandmother to give Su Xuan to her as her consort.
Princess Hui An secretly sized up him. “Su Xuan, have you… been so good to others?”
Su Xuan picked up the robe on the ground. “No.”
The corners of Princess Hui An’s lips curled up. She suddenly felt that the fruit in her hand had become sweet.
Su Xuan continued, “Princess Hui An is of noble status. It’s only right for Ah Xuan to serve the princess.”
Princess Hui An was unhappy to hear this. ‘What if I’m not a princess?”
Su Xuan said, “Princess Hui An is Cousin’s friend. Cousin once asked me to take good care of the princess. Since I agreed, it’s my responsibility.”
Princess Hui An circled in front of him and looked at him steadily. “Then… what if Little Sidekick didn’t entrust you with this responsibility? Would you still take care of me?”
Su Xuan met her expectant gaze and said calmly, “No.”
Princess Hui An’s heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle.
After Su Xuan finished packing, he turned around and left the cave.
Princess Hui An took a few steps to the entrance of the cave and said angrily, “I won’t believe you! I don’t believe a word you say!”
