850 Showdown (3)

Hearing this, Prince Rui smiled. “General Shen, I did it so slowly that I thought you saw it clearly. Why? Do you need me to do it again?”

Shen Xin was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat. Prince Rui indeed did it on purpose!

That day, the dagger move was done deliberately slower than usual, as if Prince Rui was letting him see what move it was. At this moment, hearing Prince Rui admit it, Shen Xin felt an indescribable feeling, but he was more puzzled. He asked, “How did you learn it?”

“I learned it a long time ago.” Prince Rui said lazily, “General Shen, haven’t you seen it before?”

!!

Instantly, Shen Xin’s mind went blank, as if a thunderclap had suddenly exploded around him, making every inch of his body tremble.

Many years ago, on the street of Ming Qi, he accidentally saw the heir of the Marquis of Lin’an, Xie Ding’s son, use this move on someone. At that time, he even thought that Xie Jingxing’s move was much more powerful than his father’s.

Shen Xin’s heart was in turmoil. At this moment, he was actually at a loss. He did not know if he should look surprised or shocked, but at the same time, he was also calm, because the guess that was bugging him day and night was proven right.

He asked, “Are you Xie Jingxing?”

Prince Rui took off his mask.

Shen Xin gasped.

The relationship between the Shen family and the Marquis of Lin’an had never been good, but it was precisely because of this that Shen Xin knew the Marquis of Lin’an the best. Xie Ding had a son who was always going against him. On the surface, Shen Xin was gloating that this was the case, but he secretly admired Xie Jingxing. He felt that although this young man was a little mischievous, he had a boldness and carefreeness that no noble young master in the capital had.

Therefore, Shen Xin remembered Xie Jingxing’s appearance very well.

Now, the person in front of him looked more mature and handsome, but there was still a shadow of the past in his looks. At that moment, Shen Xin understood everything.

He said, “What’s going on? Shouldn’t you explain?”

His tone was like an elder disciplining a junior. At this moment, Shen Xin even had the ridiculous illusion that he was helping Xie Ding discipline his son.

Xie Jingxing smiled and poured a cup of tea for Shen Xin. He said, “Father-in-law, have some tea and listen to my explanation.”

In the next hour, Shen Xin heard a shocking secret from Xie Jingxing that he had never thought of.

Shen Xin did not expect Xie Jingxing to be the prince of the Daliang Dynasty and had such a bumpy life. He did not expect Xie Jingxing to be so bold as to come to Ming Qi like this. Wasn’t he afraid that once his identity was exposed, he would be in trouble?

After hearing Xie Jingxing’s words, Shen Xin was furious, indignant, regretful, and hesitant. All kinds of emotions welled up in his heart. However, he still understood what decision he should make at this moment. He said, “Since you have this identity, Jiaojiao can’t marry you!”

“Why?” Xie Jingxing asked.

“Your goal is definitely not just to come to Ming Qi to pay tribute.” Shen Xin’s words were sharp. He said, “The Daliang Dynasty’s ambitions will not stop. One day, the Daliang Dynasty will make a move on Ming Qi. At that time, you and I will meet on the battlefield. If Jiaojiao marries you, what should she do? Do you want her to be torn between you and her father? I won’t put Jiaojiao in such a difficult position even if I have to defy the imperial edict and risk losing everything.”
