Chapter 397 Second Prince’s Rebellions (3)

Chapter 397 Second Prince’s Rebellions (3)　　Hai Fa Xia sighed when he saw this. "In that case, please forgive our insolence, Your Highness. Don't kill him. We need him alive."

"Yes!"

With that, several guards rushed forward in order to attack the two of them.

Clang!

A fan blocked their sword and Mu Fei Xin stepped forward. Her gentle and demure expression had disappeared almost instantly. Born in Mu Family, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was also a warrior like the other male descendants.

The fan that was hidden within her sleeve was made out of metal. And it was also the tool that she was taught to protect herself.

"Your Highness, please be careful," Mu Fei Xin said softly.

Prince Yang Lu snorted. "You're the one who should be careful. Men!"

Bang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Several people rushed into the hall. They were the guards who had followed Prince Yang Lu to Kuai City. Even though the preparation was done in a hurry, Prince Yang Lu had long replaced the people around him with those whom he could trust.

Clang! Stab!

Evading the attack, Prince Yang Lu stabbed his sword to the guard from Hai Family. His eyes shone with coldness.

At the side, Hai Fa Xia sighed when he saw this. It looked like he was not worried in the slightest bit about the predicament that they were all in. He was looking at the guard impassively.

"Do you really need to do this, Your Highness?"

"You should have never touched my mother." Prince Yang Lu's tone was terrifyingly cold. His brandished sword moved once more, killing the guard in front of him. He stepped forward, rushing at Hai Fa Xia's direction.

Clang!

Hai Fa Xia had unsheathed his sword and blocked the attack. There was a mockery in his eyes when he saw the gaze from Prince Yang Lu. "Stop pretending. Since when do you care for her?"

He kicked the prince on his stomach as he swung his sword to the side, pushing Prince Yang Lu to the back.

Clang!

*cough*

Being pushed to the back, Prince Yang Lu coughed. He looked at Hai Fa Xia with indifference. Even though he was in pain, there was no indication of such thing from his expression. He was merely staring coldly.

Standing over there, Hai Fa Xia somehow felt that he had returned to the time when he was young and met with that great Emperor, Emperor Huan. Even when Emperor Huan was only standing, there was a kind of oppressive aura spreading from him.

It was what made everyone followed him.

He had both the ability and authority.

In the past, Hai Fa Xia had seen Prince Yang Lu. In his opinion, this young prince was following his useless father, Emperor Xuan, completely. He was the type that could be used as a puppet according to will.

That was why Hai Fa Xia chose to support the second prince. This would definitely allow Hai Family to soar in the future.

But the one standing in front of him was no longer the same young prince. In the few years he hadn't seen this young prince, it seemed that he had grown to become a proper adult. One that could make his own decision and would not be swayed by others.

"Heh."

Hai Fa Xia laughed coldly. "To think that you have grown this much. I didn't expect it at all, Your Highness."

Prince Yang Lu didn't answer. He gathered his will and stepped forward once more, charging towards Hai Fa Xia at the fastest speed possible.

Clang! Clang!

Sound of metal clashing reverberated in the hall. Many of the men brought by Prince Yang Lu was wounded, but neither one of them stepped back. They seemed to have been injected by some kind of drugs that allowed them to fight continuously.

It was late at night.

And in two incense stick of time dawn would come.

The fight continued without stopping.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"You're not my match, Your Highness." Hai Fa Xia looked at Prince Yang Lu with mocking gaze. The young prince was already 20 years old, but his skill was gained from training in the Capital City.

There was no way he could possibly contend with someone who had already bet his entire life at the frontline. Hai Fa Xia was someone who had dedicated his entire life to stay at the front of his soldiers, gaining merit by merit in order to raise Hai Family.

They wanted to become more powerful.

Only by having complete control over the one at the throne would it be possible.

But their plan was thwarted over and over again. Empress Dowager Hai had almost succeeded if only the vixen Empress Dowager Mei hadn't appeared. And now, his nephew was also trying to against him.

How vexing.

Bang!

Blocking the attack from Prince Yang Lu, Hai Fa Xia pushed it up then raised his leg and kicked the young prince once more. The angle was tricky and Prince Yang Lu failed to evade, being sent to the back once more.

Seeing the young prince stood up once more, Hai Fa Xia felt even more annoyed.

"NOW!"

Swoosh!

Some kind of powder were spread from all the entrance of the main hall. The officials who were outside were all trembling in fear while several guards had appeared while carrying several bags.

*cough* *cough*

Almost instantly, they all could feel weakness from their body as the powder was spread all over the main hall. 

Prince Yang Lu looked at Hai Fa Xia with hatred. "You even use poison?"

"If I don't use it, do you think I should just wait until you all kill all of my force?" Hai Fa Xia smirked. "Just stay here obediently, Your Highness. The poison will not kill you, but you won't be able to move for the time being. In the meantime, I still need to make sure that the Second Prince's Rebellions are ongoing."

Hearing that, Prince Yang Lu's eyes turned red. His fingers formed a fist as the veins were bulging. He knew very well that he had fallen for this damned uncle of his's plan.
