Chapter 488

“I didn’t plan to let Ye Luji go at first, so it’s time to bring him back,” Xie Xuanchen said with a disdainful smile, “Do you think Ye Luyan is the only one who can threaten others? When I was creeping up behind him, he didn’t even know where I was.”

Xu Dalang was obviously one of his own men, but at this moment he suddenly felt a sense of fear. Xu Dalang asked, “What is Your Highness’s plan?”

“Nothing special, I’ll take 800 cavalry troops and only 3 days of dry food. We’ll keep everything simple and light. Also, we’ll set off today,” Xie Xuanchen stood up and said, “Ye Luji has only been out of seclusion for five days. He is still injured and can’t travel far. I heard that Empress Dowager Xiao dotes on her younger son very much. There is no such thing as succession in Beirong after the father dies, so it’s almost certain that the throne would be passed to the younger brother. When we come back after capturing Ye Luji, for a day that Ye Luyan refuses to retreat, I will chop off one of Ye Luji’s organs and send it to Empress Dowager Xiao. We can see if Ye Luyan’s patience is better or is Ye Luji’s longevity higher.”

The Xu family’s Erlang broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen was still in the same camp as them. If he faced an enemy like Xie Xuanchen, it would be a nightmare.

The Xu family was accustomed to this kind of life, so they packed up immediately. Now they were doing a final inspection in front of the horses before heading to the military camp to order the men. After that, they would leave immediately in pursuit.

Suddenly, they heard someone shouting Xie Xuanchen’s name and they were all stunned for a moment. Nevertheless, Xie Xuanchen turned back without any emotion, as if he didn’t care at all about being called out by his full name, “Why are you out here?”

The others looked like they had seen a ghost, but Xie Xuanchen himself did not feel dissatisfied. He even smiled and spoke to the visitor in a soft and gentle tone, “I’ll go out and be back soon. Didn’t you stay in the Xu family for a long time? Stay for a couple of days longer and I’ll come back to pick you up soon.”

“Where are you going?”
