"Prince An is too polite. There is no girl as beautiful as Miss Li in the Qinling Kingdom. This prince truly admires Miss Li. Why doesn't Prince An give a chance to cherish Miss Li together with you?"
Shangguan Mu was not annoyed. Instead, he shalessly proposed once again to take care of Li Zhiwei alongside Xu Heming.
"Your Highness." Terrified, Li Zhiwei shook her head vigorously, afraid that Xu Heming might actually agree to Shangguan Mu's unreasonable request.
Li Zhiwei had no intention of serving two husbands.
Moreover, the man before her gave off a very dangerous vibe.
"Surely Prince An won't refuse?" Shangguan Mu asked, raising an eyebrow.
However, he completely ignored Li Zhiwei's resistance.
"Prince An, a man should be magnanimous. Look, I don't even mind being a concubine to Miss Li, yet you mind my presence? Could it be that you don't actually love Miss Li?"
As Shangguan Mu spoke, he looked at Li Zhiwei with a face full of sympathy.
"Miss Li, you see, I definitely love you more than he does. Why don't you consider marrying instead! In terms of status and position, I am not inferior to him in the slightest!" Shangguan Mu said with a smug look.
"Third Prince, please return. It is impossible for Zhiwei to marry you!" Xu Heming let out a long sigh to suppress the raging anger in his heart.
Heaven knew he wanted nothing more than to step forward and slaughter this bastard!
But if the Third Prince of the Qinling Kingdom really had an accident in the Lannuo Kingdom, his actions would provoke a disaster between the two countries, which was a scenario they did not want to see.
However, if this Shangguan Mu continued to be so unappreciative, Xu Heming would absolutely not hold back anymore.
"Your words cannot represent Miss Li, can they? Miss Li?" Shangguan Mu did not take Xu Heming's words to heart and instead looked at Li Zhiwei again.
"Leave! It is impossible for to marry you!"
Li Zhiwei shouted without a second thought.
With Xu Heming here now, Li Zhiwei felt much more confident speaking up.
At this mont, she just wanted to quickly drive this person out of the Li family and never see him again.
"This prince didn't ask you to marry ; this prince wants you to take as your husband. What do you think, Miss Li?" Shangguan Mu was not angered and instead reiterated his point.
He wasn't worried that Li Zhiwei would refuse. After all, he did this today just to disgust them and sow discord between them.
So that he could ruin this marriage.
"It doesn't matter, we have plenty of ti!" Shangguan Mu said before turning and leaving.
"Your Highness, I truly don't know him!" As soon as Shangguan Mu left, Li Zhiwei hurriedly explained to Xu Heming.
She felt very helpless in her heart, truly afraid that Xu Heming would believe that man's words.
If the engagent was broken off for this reason, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even with ten mouths.
"It's fine, I know. However, you should try not to go out for the next few days." For a mont, Xu Heming didn't know how to explain the matter of the Third Prince of the Qinling Kingdom to Li Zhiwei.
To prevent a recurrence of today's situation, Xu Heming felt it would be safer for Li Zhiwei to stay in the manor recently.
However, thinking about the servants of the Li family, who were just ordinary servants, he felt a bit uncertain.
After all, the people Shangguan Mu had brought just now were clearly highly skilled. If a conflict really broke out, Li Zhiwei would have no power to fight back.
But he had too many things to attend to recently.
"General Wen!" Xu Heming thought for a mont and shouted to the side.
Wen Zhaonan happened to be in the capital recently, and he wondered if he could ask him to look after the safety of the Li family.
"Does His Highness Prince An have orders?" Wen Zhaonan jumped down from a nearby corner and asked, looking at Xu Heming.
"In my view, Shangguan Mu will definitely co to the Li family again. I've been too busy to get away recently, so I must trouble General Wen to help look after the Li family on my behalf." Xu Heming cupped his hands toward Wen Zhaonan.
"Rest assured on this matter. As long as there is any movent at the Li family, I will co and take a look." Wen Zhaonan nodded, not making any excuses.
"But have you thought about why he insisted on saying such things to Miss Li?" Wen Zhaonan had actually heard all of Shangguan Mu's words just now.
Although he didn't think Li Zhiwei would do such a thing, this thod of sowing discord was truly disgusting.
But when he thought about how this person wanted to marry his sister to Xu Heming, his actions no longer seed strange.
However, he looked at Li Zhiwei, wondering if this Miss Li would be successfully provoked.
Still, he felt he should remind Prince An to take more precautions.
Otherwise, his future wife might beco soone else's.
If that really happened, it would be a cooked duck flying away. After all, the wedding date of Prince An and Miss Li was only a few days away.
"I will find ti to talk to him again later." Xu Heming said with a heavy expression. After all, he was very clear about Shangguan Mu's purpose in coming to the Lannuo Kingdom; it must be for the hundred-year pact.
The Lannuo Kingdom had paid tribute to the Qinling Kingdom for a hundred years. Now, their Lannuo Kingdom also had the confidence to resist the Qinling Kingdom to so extent.
They would absolutely not sign this humiliating and sovereignty-forfeiting pact again!
Even if the Emperor agreed, he would not!
Thinking of this, Xu Heming took out a short dagger from his chest and tossed it to Wen Zhaonan.
"What is this?" Wen Zhaonan caught the dagger with a puzzled look.
He didn't understand. If Xu Heming gave this to Li Zhiwei for self-defense, he could understand, but what use was it to him?
Wasn't this a small dagger ant for won?
However, Wen Zhaonan still unsheathed the dagger to take a look.
Apart from being a bit shiny, Wen Zhaonan didn't see anything unusual.
"What does Prince An an by this? It's just an ordinary dagger. Or did you originally intend to give this to Miss Li for self-defense?" Wen Zhaonan felt this must be the case; Prince An had given it to the wrong person.
Otherwise, a grown man like him using a small dagger was really unpresentable.
Xu Heming didn't speak. Instead, he drew the sword at his waist and charged directly at Wen Zhaonan.
"Prince An!" Xu Heming's sudden strike made Wen Zhaonan step back and instinctively raise the dagger in his hand to block Xu Heming's longsword.
With a loud Clang!, Xu Heming's sword was actually chopped in half!
"This..."
Wen Zhaonan stared at the small dagger in his hand in disbelief. Was its power this great? Or was Xu Heming's sword just too inferior?
Full of suspicion, Wen Zhaonan picked up the broken half of the longsword from the ground and examined it.
A sword chosen by Prince An could not be an ordinary sword.
But now it had been destroyed by the dagger in his hand, which couldn't help but astonish Wen Zhaonan.
"What does General Wen think of this dagger?" Xu Heming was very satisfied with Wen Zhaonan's reaction.
"Prince An, where did this dagger co from?" Wen Zhaonan asked excitedly.
If their Lannuo Kingdom could have such powerful weapons, why would they fear the Qinling Kingdom?
The reason the Qinling Kingdom was so arrogant now was simply because they relied on their weapons being more powerful than Lannuo's and being sowhat wealthier, wasn't it?
But as far as he knew, under the Emperor's wise leadership, the Lannuo Kingdom's treasury was becoming increasingly full.
And now they possess such formidable weapons...
