After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 349 You said she would be your concubine?

Seeing that things were not going well, the guards on Chao Le's side quickly protected Chao Le and retreated outside.

After Song Ci'an had killed all the guards behind the city wall, he quickly opened the city gate.

Xie Tongchen breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he saw the direction Chao Leli went, he remembered Xie Mingzhu, who had been captured by Chao Leli, and immediately pulled up a horse and chased after Chao Leli.

At that time, Luo Hanfeng had already entered the city gate from the south. After arriving at the city gate, he first went to the city lord's mansion to check whether Xie Mingzhu was in the mansion.

But he arrived too late. By the time he reached the city lord's mansion, the mansion was already empty, with many dead or having fled.

Luo Hanfeng arrived at the place where the city lord was being held and released him.

The city lord was extremely grateful after being released.

"Thank you for saving me, Seventh Prince. My soldiers were turned against me by a traitor and all of them defected. After the Southern Kingdom attacked, they opened the city gates and imprisoned me in this dungeon."

"It was me! I misjudged people and have no face to see Your Majesty!"

The old city lord wept uncontrollably.

Luo Hanfeng had no time to listen to his idle chatter. He said calmly, "Go to the North City and see what's going on. I have other matters to attend to."

After saying that, Luo Hanfeng hurriedly left the city lord's mansion.

However, just as they were leaving the city lord's mansion and heading towards the north of the city, they encountered Chao Le and his group, who were also fleeing in this direction after their defeat.

When the two met, Chao Le didn't even recognize who Luo Hanfeng was.

However, Xie Mingzhu, who was being held captive by the concubine, spotted Luo Hanfeng at a glance. Overjoyed, she shouted loudly at Luo Hanfeng, "Hanfeng!!"

Luo Hanfeng's gaze immediately turned in their direction.

When the concubine grabbed Xie Mingzhu and ran towards the north of the city, she encountered Chao Le, who was also fleeing in this direction. Upon meeting, Chao Le coldly said, "Go first."

The concubine then grabbed Xie Mingzhu and ran after Chao Le and the others.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Luo Hanfeng.

The two sides stood facing each other, with a distance of five meters between them.

Xie Mingzhu's eyes were slightly red, and tears were already falling. She seemed to have suffered endless grievances and only regarded Luo Hanfeng as her lifeline. With a sob in her voice, she said to Luo Hanfeng, "Hanfeng, save me!"

"Mingzhu," Luo Hanfeng reassured Xie Mingzhu, "Don't worry, I will definitely save you."

"Hanfeng? Luo Hanfeng?" Chao Le looked Luo Hanfeng up and down and sneered, "I heard that this time, in order to suppress the Xie family, your Chu emperor specially appointed a lowly prince born to a palace maid as the commander."

"You're that worthless bastard?"

As soon as Chao Le opened her mouth, she went straight to the issue of Luo Hanfeng's background, which was the most important thing to her.

Originally, Luo Hanfeng had no intention of killing him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the murderous intent on Luo Hanfeng's face became obvious.

He slowly drew his sword from his waist, a smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice, "You are right, I am a prince who was born a palace maid."

"However, just how noble is your birth, Fifth Prince?"

He raised his sword, tilted his head, and the sharp blade gleamed coldly. He gently stroked the blade with his fingertips and said indifferently, "If you die at the hands of a lowly prince like me, then what are you?"

Before Chao Le could speak, his attack followed immediately.

Chao Le snorted coldly, drew his sword, and charged towards Luo Hanfeng.

"Zi!"

The blades clashed, producing a sharp, unpleasant sound.

Chao Le met Luo Hanfeng's sword and sensed the immense internal energy within Luo Hanfeng's body. She looked at Luo Hanfeng with some surprise, "I didn't expect that a useless prince like you would have such strong internal energy."

"It certainly gave me quite a few surprises."

With that, he flicked the tip of his sword, easily deflecting Luo Hanfeng's sword, and then attacked Luo Hanfeng's neck.

A gust of sword wind swept in, and the powerful sword energy severed a strand of Luo Hanfeng's black hair that hung down in front of his forehead.

Luo Hanfeng leaned back slightly, reached out, and pinched the sword that Chao Le was attacking him with his index and middle fingers together. With just a slight force, the sword in Chao Le's hand, starting from Luo Hanfeng's fingertip, began to spin backward like a spider web, and instantly shattered into several pieces.

These fragments, carried by Luo Hanfeng's internal force, immediately attacked the guards behind Chao Le.

He precisely slashed the neck of the guard behind him.

In no time, a row of guards behind Chao Le were killed.

Chao Le was startled and was about to turn around to look behind her when she was interrupted by Luo Hanfeng's follow-up attack.

Without his sword, Luo Hanfeng began to attack with his fists. At first, Chao Le was able to parry Luo Hanfeng's moves, but later, Chao Le began to feel the strain.

"Bang!" Luo Hanfeng's fist slammed into Chao Le's chest.

"Ouch!" Chao Le cried out in pain, clutching her chest.

The next second it was his face, left hook, right hook, and then a side kick, and Chao Le's handsome face instantly became bruised and swollen.

At this moment, Luo Hanfeng's blows were much lighter than when he had beaten Xie Yuze in front of Xie Xing.

During the fight, Luo Hanfeng asked, "The concubine you just took, is her name Xie Xing?"

Chao Le was enraged by his attack. He raised his leg and delivered a side kick, then spread his body, wiped the bruise from the corner of his lips, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a cold face.

Hearing Luo Hanfeng's question, Chao Le raised an eyebrow, as if realizing something, and grinned: "What? You're interested in that girl?"

"Thank you, Xing. I know."

Xie Mingzhu stood behind Chao Le and paused when she heard him mention Xie Xing.

Luo Hanfeng looked at Chao Le with indifferent eyes.

Chao Le licked his dry lips and laughed, "That girl was captivated by me the moment she saw me. She was eager to become my foot-washing maid and serve me at all times."

"However, I admire her beauty and will reluctantly take her into my harem as a concubine."

The more he spoke, the deeper Luo Hanfeng's light brown eyes became, and the calmer his expression grew. Only his hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tighter and tighter until his fingernails dug into the flesh of his palms, and drops of blood fell onto the floor. Only then did Luo Hanfeng gradually loosen his grip.

He asked calmly, "A beautiful concubine?"

"She begged you?"

Chao Le glanced at Luo Hanfeng's expression, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a gust of wind pass by her, followed by a sharp pain on her face.

"bump!"

Luo Hanfeng punched Chao Le hard in the face.

He was smashed away with a heavy blow.

But that wasn't enough. As Chao Le's body slammed backward at an extremely fast speed, Luo Hanfeng caught up, clenched his fist, and punched Chao Le's lower abdomen several times.

Bang bang bang!

boom!

Luo Hanfeng only stopped when Chao Le's body crashed into the house behind him, creating a huge hole.

He stood in front of Chao Le, looking down at her with disdain: "You said, she'd be your concubine?"

He bent down, grabbed Chao Le by the collar, and lifted him up. His pale brown eyes looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man. He said, word by word, "But she wouldn't even be willing to be my prince's consort."

You mean she'll become your concubine?
