Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 213
Chapter 0213 Red Swallow!
Housekeeper Zhu nodded and lifted the curtain to Qin Fei. “Mr. Qin, don’t worry. It might just be some thief.”
Qin Fei nodded his head. He did not say anything, but his brows furrowed. If the First Prince really wanted to kill him, he would definitely not be so reckless. Furthermore, he would not send people to deliberately alert him. There must be other reasons behind it.
Housekeeper Zhu’s understatement made people even more puzzled.
Qin Fei had an advantage. He would never continue to tangle with things that he couldn’t figure out. When the answer to the riddle was revealed, he would naturally know.
Very quickly, the carriage arrived outside a seemingly ordinary fence. White walls, green tiles, and a patch of greenery appeared on the wall. This exterior looked very ordinary, just like a small farmyard.
When he arrived at an empty wooden door, he saw a young man standing proudly with a smile on his face. He stood upright like a hundred-year-old pine. No matter the wind or rain, he did not seem to bow down.
He was dressed in a proper white robe and his entire body was clean. His pair of starry eyes shone with wisdom. He smiled when he saw Qin Fei’s carriage arrive.
He stood there, as if the whole world was centered on him, and all the brilliance was concentrated on him!
Qin Fei saw Zhu Li in the carriage and revealed a knowing smile. Before the carriage could stop, he hurriedly got off the carriage.
Zhu Li did not wait for the carriage to come to a stop, but he also gracefully greeted them.
“Brother Fei!”
“Brother Li!”
Qin Fei shouted happily. He suddenly remembered that Zhu Li was the Third Prince. What would the butler and groom think if he called him that?
So he immediately changed his tone and saluted, “Greetings, Third Prince!”
Zhu Li smiled and hurriedly supported his shoulders. He glanced at Butler Zhu and the groom and said, “No problem! Brother Fei, this is all our own family, so we don’t need to address him as outsiders. Butler Zhu, immediately order everyone in the private courtyard to meet Brother Fei as if to meet this prince!”
Housekeeper Zhu’s shocked eyes flashed and he hurriedly agreed.
“Brother Zou Fei, I’ve already prepared delicious wine and food for you. We’ll get drunk today!” Zhu Li warmly pulled Qin Fei’s hand and walked into the ordinary wooden door.
Butler Zhu and the groom looked at each other and their expressions became very serious. It seemed that the relationship between the Third Prince and Qin Fei was indeed extraordinary!
One had to know that no outsider had ever come to the Third Prince’s private courtyard. Even the ministers of the empire had no chance of entering. Even the brothers and sisters of the Third Prince had no chance of entering.
However, Qin Fei, a small mage, was actually able to obtain such great love from the Third Prince. This was truly beyond everyone’s imagination.
Steward Zhu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and whispered to the groom, “Remember, Mr. Qin will be the most respectable person besides His Highness!”
The groom nodded.
Walking into the private courtyard, Qin Fei couldn’t help but be surprised. He had originally thought that, The Third Prince’s private courtyard, It looks ordinary outside, Probably just to keep a low profile, That’s why it’s so inconspicuous, However, when he entered, he finally understood that both inside and outside the courtyard were similarly simple and ordinary. There was only a small garden filled with ordinary flowers and plants that could be seen everywhere. Several weeping willows surrounded the garden. On the other side of the weeping willows was a crystal clear pond. Several carps could be seen swimming in the pond, causing ripples to ripple in layers.
Apart from that, there was a simple wooden pavilion with a wooden table and a few wooden stools. There was a teapot on the table and an ancient zither on the table.
The house was also a wooden structure, a small three-storey building.
Qin Fei noticed that there was an old hunchbacked old man in the garden, trembling slightly as he took care of the weeds. In the wooden pavilion, there was a young servant dressed in green wiping the tables and stools.
Walking into the wooden building, an ordinary-looking girl came forward and called out to the Third Prince, “Your Highness, the wine and dishes are ready!”
The girl was medium-sized and unsightly. Her skin was a healthy wheat color. Her hair was tied up high behind her head, revealing a smooth face and a slender neck.
Such a young girl looked so ordinary that even some wealthy families would not hire such a maid to serve them.
The Third Prince nodded and smiled at the girl, “Thank you. Let me introduce you. This is Qin Fei, my brother. He is also my savior. From now on, you will see him as if you were seeing me!”
The young girl smiled and bowed to Qin Fei with a dignified manner. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her behavior was decent and comfortable, making people feel very calm.
“Brother Fei, this is Red Swallow.” Zhu Li introduced the girl with a smile.
“Hello, Sister Feiyan!” Qin Fei’s mouth was very sweet. Facing a girl who could give off a feeling of spring breeze, he naturally liked to look at her.
For some reason, when he saw Hong Feiyan for the first time, he felt that this woman was extraordinary for no reason!
He even had the illusion that this woman was even more outstanding than Duan Ruoyan!
After entering the living room, the food and wine were prepared. The Third Prince invited Qin Fei to sit down and raised his glass. He said, “Brother Fei, this is my private courtyard. You don’t have to be so polite. Just treat this as your home. I have a suggestion. In the future, we will come here every seven days to drink and enjoy ourselves. What do you think?”
Qin Fei smiled and said, “Brother Li, why seven days? As long as we have time, we should come every day!”
Zhu Li’s expression darkened. He shook his head and said, “Brother Fei, there’s something you don’t know. I’m in the Imperial Palace. This is the time my father allowed me to go out. Of course, I hope to be able to gather with Brother Fei, but I can’t help it!”
Qin Fei was stunned. He didn’t expect the seven days he said to be like this. Thinking that the people of the Imperial Clan would also be like birds in a cage without freedom, he couldn’t help but feel a little less envious of Zhu Li’s life. It was still the best life for him to live like this. He was free and no one cared about it.
During the banquet, the Third Prince did not mention his pursuit. He only asked about his other experiences. The Third Prince knew that he had been captured. Hearing that it was actually Duan Ruoyan from Xuanwu Palace who had captured him, the Third Prince sighed and said, “My sister-in-law is also a wonderful person. It’s good that you’re fine. Otherwise, it would really be a family that harmed a family!”
Family?
Qin Fei didn’t agree with the Third Prince’s words in his heart. He didn’t know if he really didn’t want to bring up the matter of the First Prince, or if he deliberately avoided the topic.
When the first prince became the emperor, the family would probably not include the third prince!
After drinking for more than an hour, the two of them drank sincerely and became drunk. Zhu Li suddenly said excitedly, “Brother Fei, it’s rare for us to be so happy today. Why don’t we go hunting together outside the city?”
Qin Fei was delighted. Hunting outside the city?
Ever since he was young, his favorite thing was to ride on horses, draw arrows with bows, and gallop through the vast mountains and forests in pursuit of wild beasts.
Every man had a heroic dream when he was young. The first heroic dream was to ride a horse and hunt!
He also drank a few more drinks and readily agreed. Zhu Li was overjoyed. He pulled him out of the living room and said to Hong Feiyan, who was standing guard outside, “Prepare some good wine immediately. We will go hunting outside the city and roast wild boars!”
He was like a child, full of innocence.
Hong Feiyan was slightly surprised. She had been following the Third Prince for nearly five years. This was the first time. She had always been calm and graceful. She always seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai, as solid as a rock. The Third Prince, who did things in a steady and proper manner, had actually displayed such a happy and disgraceful side.
She smiled and suddenly felt that the Third Prince was the real him.
She went into the hall at once to bring the wine.
Then the Third Prince called for Steward Zhu and told him to get the horse ready. In less than ten minutes, he set off quickly!
Just like that, Zhu Li was at the front of the group of five, followed by Qin Fei. The groom and butler Zhu were guarding them from the left and right, while Red Swallow was at the end. The five of them each rode on a strong horse with bows and arrows on their backs as they headed out of the city.
About five li outside the city, there was a hunting ground surrounded by the royal family. The Third Prince wanted to hunt, so the guards naturally did not dare to stop him.
However, after walking around the hunting ground for a while, Zhu Li was completely dull. He smiled and said to Qin Fei, “Brother Fei, these wild animals have been tamed. They don’t have any wild nature at all. It’s really meaningless!”
Qin Fei nodded his head in agreement. To tell the truth, when he first saw the wild beasts in the hunting ground, he felt very boring. They were all cowards who ran away when they saw people. Unlike those real wild beasts, they were filled with savagery. Not only were they not afraid of people, they would also take the initiative to pounce on them. This was truly exciting!
