Venomous Empress Reborn-Chapter 779 - Kill (4)

779 Kill (4)

However, no matter how dissatisfied Huangfu Hao was, he could only agree.

Yi Feng Pavilion was in the outskirts, some distance away from the capital. Huangfu Hao set off at dawn. When he arrived at the outskirts, there was still a long mountain road. Fortunately, the road up the mountain was smooth enough for the carriage to pass. Otherwise, it would take much longer to arrive at the pavilion.

Huangfu Hao asked his guards to stay halfway up the mountain while he walked on alone because the invitation specially instructed him not to bring guards. The more guards there were, the more unnatural this “love at first sight” would be. Moreover, the crown prince would arrive early and had something to discuss with Huangfu Hao. It would be inconvenient if there were too many people.

Huangfu Hao was not afraid of anything happening at all. Firstly, this place would definitely be filled with guards from the crown prince, so he did not have to worry about assassins. Secondly, the crown prince would not make a move on him. When he went out today, everyone in his mansion knew that he was going to meet the crown prince. If anything happened to him, the crown prince would not be able to explain himself.

Therefore, Huangfu Hao calmly left the guard behind and went up alone.

However, Huangfu Hao would soon regret his careless decision for the rest of his life. f𝔯𝗲e𝒘𝙚𝚋𝐧oѵe𝗹． 𝒄𝗼m

When Huangfu Hao walked up the mountain, the crown prince was also walking towards Yi Feng Pavilion with his guards. The two of them happened to maintain a distance from each other, but because they were not on the same path, they didn’t see each other.

Ten minutes later, Huangfu Hao arrived at Yi Feng Pavilion.

At this moment, there was already someone sitting in the pavilion. When that person saw Huangfu Hao, he immediately stood up. It was the crown prince.

Huangfu Hao was a little surprised. He did not expect the crown prince to arrive before him. This way, the time requested in the invitation did not seem to be that unacceptable. After all, the crown prince came earlier than him.

He looked around and said, “Why aren’t the others here?”

If there was no one else, what was the purpose of putting up a show?

The crown prince smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. I called you here so early today because I have something to tell you in private.”

Huangfu Hao felt that it was a little strange, but he wasn’t particularly wary. His guards could rush over in time if he was in danger. Seeing that the crown prince’s guards were all by his side, he asked, “Please tell me.”

The crown prince walked to Huangfu Hao’s side and stood there. “Brother Huangfu, don’t you find it strange that I asked you to come so early and especially instructed you to leave your guards on the mountainside?”

“I think there’s probably something very important you want to discuss with me.” Huangfu Hao was a little impatient with the crown prince. At this point, why was the crown prince still acting so mysteriously?

“Brother Huangfu, don’t you think this looks like a perfect situation for murder?” The crown prince asked.

Huangfu Hao laughed out loud and said, “I never expected you to be so humorous.”

The crown prince did not speak. Huangfu Hao turned to look at him and his heart skipped a beat.

The crown prince’s expression was calm, but it was this calmness that suddenly made Huangfu Hao feel deeply uneasy. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. However… Why did the crown prince want to kill him? Unless the crown prince could kill all the servants in Huangfu Hao’s mansion, the crown prince would not be able to get away with it. Moreover, Huangfu Hao couldn’t figure out why the crown prince wanted him dead.

However, before he could hear the answer, he saw a glint in the crown prince’s eyes. Huangfu Hao was shocked and subconsciously dodged to the side, barely avoiding a silver sword that stabbed at him from behind.
