Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.98 - Strange And Suspicious
"Ho, so it is! Then why did those people want to kill you? From what I see those black-clothed people are not bandits at all!"
"That's..." Ming Xue sighed "They are a group of rebels who want to capture me and take me as a hostage! I had previously gone to Wei City to ask for support from the Fire Sword Sect, and while on the way home, we were confronted by that group of rebels, there was no need for me to explain what happened next!"
"That means that now the Ming Empire is engaged in a civil war, there is an internal conflict" said Xiang Yang.
"Yes, that's it!" ming Xue replied "Xiang Yang, you are a young and strong cultivator, if you want, I can ask my mother to make you as the deputy general of the Ming Empire!" Ming Xue smiled sweetly, trying to shake the young man's heart.
Yet Xiang Yang's flat expression never lost "Your mother? Is your mother's power higher than that of your father who was Emperor of the Ming Empire?"
"Well..." Ming Xue did not know what to answer, she only realized that she had said something, which she should not have said.
But because it had already happened, Ming Xue finally replied "Actually my father is now sick from poisoning, it is all the actions of those rebels who want to control the Ming Empire! So now, it is my mother who holds the highest power in the Ming Empire!"
Xiang Yang glanced at Ming Xue's face for a while, then looked back to the front.
"Does he have any abnormalities? He looks completely uninterested in me, there is no way there would be such a cold normal guy on me!" ming Xue muttered inwardly with a pouting expression. Despite that, inexplicably Ming Xue grew even more eager to conquer the young man's heart.
After all other than having high strength and talent, Xiang Yang's face was also not bad at all.
"Heheh, just wait, you'll be mine!" Ming Xue looked at Xiang Yang with a gaze full of desire to have.
Xiang Yang was naturally aware of Ming Xue's gaze, yet he simply ignored her.
"So do you want to become the deputy general of the Ming Empire?" Ming Xue asked again.
"No, I prefer freedom! If I become the deputy general then I will be bound by the rules of the very troublesome treasures!" Xiang Yang instantly rejected Ming Xue's offer without much thought.

After traveling for 2 days using a horse carriage together with Fei Fei the servant and Ming Xue the princess, Xiang Yang finally arrived at the Imperial Capital of Ming.
Xiang Yang did not get any obstruction at all when he entered the gate because the gatekeepers knew that it was Princess Ming Xue's carriage.
The one thing that made Xiang Yang a little surprised was that the gatekeeper was a Sky Spiritual level cultivator.
The main dimensions are different.
"I think it's enough here that I'll drop you off, you can have one patrolman to be the coachman to take you all the way to the palace!" Xiang Yang said after they entered the city gate.
"Xiang Yang, please don't just leave, I've been troubling you for these 2 days, so at least let me thank you by inviting you to the Imperial Palace!" Ming Xue developed her sweet smile, still trying to charm Xiang Yang's heart which for these 2 days, her attitude had not changed at all towards her.
"Inviting me to the Imperial Palace by becoming a horse coachman?" Xiang Yang said lazily.
"Ah.that's..." Ming Xue got off the horse carriage and called out to a patrol soldier who happened to pass by there "You, can you come here?"
The warrior looked excited from being summoned by Ming Xue's daughter.
"Yes princess, how can I help you?" ask the soldier politely and with a friendly smile.
"Of course, if it was just being a coachman it doesn't matter princess!" The soldier replied firmly.
That way eventually the soldier replaced Xiang Yang as a coachman. Xiang Yang, Ming Xue and Fei Fei were now in the carriage of the horse carriage.
"Sorry Xiang Yang if for these 2 days it troubles you, take it easy, when we get to the Imperial Palace later, I will give you a satisfactory payment!" ming Xue's friendly smile changed with a sweet smile, too sweet, it might even be able to beat the sweetness of sugar.
"Um, I keep your promise!" Xiang Yang was still with his flat expression, still showing no interest in Ming Xue "Yes, even though I'm not really interested in money, but with food it might not be too bad!"
"really? I'm quite good at cooking, I'll make your own cooking!"Ming Xue looked excited.
"Is it okay for a princess to cook for an unknown person like me?"
"Of course it doesn't matter!"
Fei Fei herself from earlier just sat quietly while looking down, for some reason she felt depressed being near the two of them, indeed she shouldn't be here. Fei Fei felt himself as just a mosquito repellent here.

Upon arrival at the Imperial Palace, Xiang Yang was first taken around by Ming Xue before being invited to an area that was an area of his own.
The area is like a villa with traditional Chinese building designs.
Xiang Yang admitted that the area was very comfortable and unsightly with a variety of green plants that refreshed the eyes.
Xiang Yang tended to be silent, occasionally he asked some ordinary things.
After being invited around, Xiang Yang was invited to enter the villa and went straight to the dining room.
Ming Xue excitedly prepared food for Xiang Yang.
After half an hour of waiting, Xiang Yang was finally able to eat, of course he ate with Ming Xue.
The girl was always trying to get her heart, it was certain that Xiang Yang realized that.
It was because of this that Xiang Yang tended to ignore Ming Xue, yet it made the girl even more excited about approaching him.
After nightfall, Xiang Yang was given a room to stay in.
Xiang Yang laid down his body on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the room.
"Strange, very strange and also suspicious, there seems to be a big secret that Ming Xue is hiding, and it also has something to do with the rebellion group!" Xiang Yang muttered.
So far as he had been with Ming Xue, he had encountered countless irregularities that made him suspicious.
"Do I have to investigate?" Xiang Yang again muttered "This Empire has nothing to do with me either, so it's best to leave it alone, let time settle this matter of the Ming Empire!"
After that, Xiang Yang closed his eyes.
