His intuition was indeed accurate, but Xiao Rufeng did not expect that the girl he unintentionally saved was actually a princess of the Xiongnu.

When the prince of the Xiongnu entered with his soldiers, Huyan Ting stood up and made Xiao Rufeng feel a momentary guilt, a fleeting reluctance to exploit this kind-hearted girl. However, it was just a brief moment. Compared to the Murong Dynasty, compared to Murong Junsheng, Huyan Ting seemed insignificant.

"Prince, spare my life!" Xiao Rufeng pretended to panic and knelt down on the ground, his big eyes filled with extreme panic and confusion. "I was originally a farmer on the outskirts of the imperial dynasty. The court conscripted soldiers and I was forced to join the army. I was just a last resort soldier and only wanted to survive safely. I never expected to offend the general's son, Dou Shao, let alone that he would be so merciless. He drugged me and threw me here, hoping to use your hands, Prince, to kill me."

"Prince, I really am not a spy. Please spare me!" Crying out, the voice of Xiao Rufeng pleaded once again, as he kowtowed in panic, his wide eyes tinged with a hint of fear.

"Brother!" Hu Yan Ting couldn't bear to see her beloved in such a state, and immediately defended him, saying, "He really isn't a spy!"

The image of the hero saving the beauty is deeply rooted in Hu Yan Ting's heart. Even if at this moment, Xiao Ru Feng is crying and trembling, he will always be her hero in her heart.

"Shut up!" Huyan Hao shouted, "I wasn't even talking about you! How could you casually bring an unidentified person into your tent?"

Kindness is not a fault, but being overly kind is a weakness. His sister is good in every way, but she is too kind, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

"I ask you, you are just a worthless soldier in the Murong Dynasty. The general's son could easily deal with you. Why do you need to rely on others to get rid of you?" Even if Xiao Rufeng appeared frightened, Huyan Hao still had some suspicions towards him, his sharp eagle eyes locked onto Xiao Rufeng.

In a battle between two armies, caution should be exercised at every step.

"It's because I still have some abilities. The general has taken a slightly higher view of me, so Dou Shao wants to quietly get rid of me, so as not to arouse the general's suspicion." The voice still trembled, but compared to before, it had calmed down considerably.

"Heh, so you do have some ability after all!" Huyan Hao observed these subtle changes and let out a disdainful yet tacit acceptance, emitting a cold snort from his nostrils.

"I only possess some martial arts skills, and the princess is well aware of this," Xiao Rufeng cautiously spoke, unable to grasp the implications of Hu Yanhao's words.

"Xiaoting, do you know?" With a hint of surprise in his eyes, Huyan Hao turned around and asked Huyan Ting.

"Uh, big brother, he truly isn't a spy, and he even saved me!" With a pleasing and coquettish smile on her face, Huyan Ting held onto Huyan Hao's arm and gently shook it. "So, big brother, for the sake of your little sister's face, let him go!"

"He saved you?" Huyan Hao was taken aback and asked in confusion, "When?"

"Eh! It was three years ago... when I ran away from home! You know..." Hu Yan Ting hesitated, feeling both wilful and embarrassed as she recalled the events of that year.

"You!" Hu Yanhao pointed at Hu Yanting's forehead, with a tone of indulgence and helplessness, as if suddenly realizing, "No wonder you came back all silent years ago. So it turns out you've experienced something!"

"So, brother, please release him as a favor to sister, okay?" Huyan Ting pleaded softly and gently.

"Hmm! It's not that it can't be done, but Xiaoting, you have to promise your older brother that you won't be too willful in the future." Huyan Hao pondered for a moment and eventually agreed, but he still had many concerns about his younger sister.

"Ah! Big brother, you're really amazing!" Huyan Ting happily hugged Huyan Hao and then walked over to Xiao Rufeng. "You should get up now! Everything is fine!"

"Big brother!" But it seemed that Rán Xiāo Rú Fēng didn't hear her words at all. He just kept his eyes fixed on Hū Yán Hào, his gaze cautious and wary. This made Hū Yán Tíng immediately unhappy, as she stomped her foot and pouted in a coquettish manner.

"Considering your relative honesty and the fact that you once saved Xiao Ting, this prince can overlook your offense of trespassing into the military camp. However, you must stay here and not set foot outside the camp." Facing Xiao Rufeng, Huyan Hao's tone was devoid of any friendliness as he spoke coldly.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Prince Xie!" Xiao Rufeng expressed his gratitude honestly and fearfully, finally feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

"Xiaoting, are you satisfied with what your older brother has done?" Hu Yanhao spoke gently and affectionately to Hu Yanting.

"Satisfied, very satisfied! Brother, you're really amazing." Huyan Ting nodded repeatedly, her face adorned with a radiant smile that betrayed her utmost joy. She was extremely pleased with this outcome, even more so than if Xiaoru Feng had been let go.

In this way, she would have more time to spend with him.

"But, it's not proper for a man to live in your tent. Brother, I will immediately arrange another tent for him, and he can move there later." For some reason, as Huyan Ting smiled with a face as radiant as a flower, a hint of unease settled in Huyan Hao's heart. He hoped he was overthinking things, and that his sister truly only wanted to save people.

Oh! Hu Yanhao's arrangement was such that Hu Yanting naturally had no objections. For her, being able to see Xiao Rufeng again was already a great joy.

"Xiao Ting, it's getting late. Big brother will leave first, you should rest early too!" After looking at the sky outside, Hu Yanhao departed with his soldiers.

"Alright, big brother, you should rest early too!" Hu Yan Ting waved her hand and turned around, continuing to smile brilliantly at Xiao Ru Feng.

Walking outside the camp, Huyan Hao coincidentally ran into Jin You. In a low voice, he said, "Follow me!"

The two of them arrived at the Prince's tent, one in front and one behind.

"Also, I always feel that something is not quite right with that person. Find a suitable opportunity to investigate his background for me," a deep voice sounded. Huyan Hao still harbored some doubts about Xiao Rufeng.

"Yes, I will immediately arrange for spies to investigate. However, as the two armies are currently engaged in battle, it may take some time," Jin replied in a low voice. After that, he hesitated slightly before asking, "My prince, but what exactly is the problem with that person?"

It's hard to say for sure, there doesn't seem to be any immediate problem. But it's always better to be cautious and not take anything for granted. Hopefully, it's just my overthinking." Huyan Hao furrowed his brows, feeling a slight unease within him.

"Yes!" Jin replied in a low voice. He was just not at ease with that person, so he went to find the prince. As it concerned the princess, he must send someone to thoroughly investigate that person's background.

"Princess, my name is Xiao Rufeng!" In the princess's tent, a calm voice sounded, and Xiao Rufeng revealed a faint smile.

"Oh, by the way, I still don't know Your Excellency's name!" Huyan Ting suddenly realized as she touched her head and smiled at Xiao Rufeng, looking almost foolish.
