352 Meet Again
âWhy is he called as the Young King? Doesnât it mean that being able to defeat the Ancient Dragon means itâs already very great, Grandpa?â asked one of the girls.
âHehehe thatâs because Viceroy PaiYun is still very young, he may only be a few years above you, the time will come for Viceroy PaiYun to grow up and finally become a Great Kingâ
âWow he is so great Grandpaâ
Their voices were heard up to the seat BaiYing and SuLang, did they talk about him? BaiYing thought, but, who gave the Young King nickname as PaiYun (White Cloud)? And how did the old man know what had happened that day? Of course, all stories canât be covered up, sooner or later all the greatness of PaiHua will be heard far and wide across the land, and itâs only a matter of time.
Young master Su who was enjoying his tea pursed his lips.
âThatâs just folklore, where are dragons, let alone dragon gods, so far all Iâve seen are worms.â
BaiYing who was drinking his tea almost choked, SuLang turned his head to check him out.
âWhatâs wrong with your XiaoYing? Drink slowly, just take your time.â
BaiYing almost choked at the thought that old man ErWang was a worm.
.....
âHehe, Iâm fine, just a little startled.â
SuLang took a napkin and helped BaiYing dry up his mouth, but that only made BaiYing stunned, he immediately turned his face away.
âEh itâs okay, thank you young master Suâ
âDonât hesitate, oh yeah, just call me Brother LangLang, donât be so awkward, heheheâ the young manâs face, the look in his eyes somehow reminded BaiYing of some people who perverted as him.
âHehe, I think, young master Su is enough, um, oh well, why doesnât young master Su believe the story about the rise of the XinHua palace, is it, itâs something that very impossible in your opinion?â
Young master Su stopped the movement of his hand, glanced at the old man who was still smiling while stroking his chin explaining his story with a cheerful face.
âThatâs impossible, where there is a palace that was lost for decades and suddenly appeared, let alone a dragon, no one has ever seen the dragon come, if indeed the dragon flew very far from LiuYang, it should at least pass through SuChou city, but, let alone dragons, eagles barely fly through the skies of SuChou, thatâs so far-fetchedâ
BaiYing pursed his lips, indeed, no one will believe it, dragon ErWang dragon didnât reveal its form as it flew across the cities from LiuYang to PaiHua, it was that far, and no one noticed he was passing, usually there would only be loud and bright lightning across the city sky with the clouds suddenly turning dark, it was a natural occurrence, so, who would believe it? Heh, let it be, after all, the story of the revival of PaiHua and XinHua is not meant to be made into folklore, just let things stay like this, full of mystery.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As the afternoon passed, BaiYing and young master Su resumed their journey, this time heading to SuChou, BaiYing couldnât wait to get to CuiAn, he had to make sure the officials trapped in the landslide area werenât the Crown Prince, and even so, he hoped whoever it is, theyâre in good shape.
âBrother, when we arrive in SuChou, I will take you around that very beautiful city, oh yeah, stay at my house for a few days, well, we have many houses, there are in every corner of the city, you could say my family is one of the elders who built the city, heheheâ SuLang said proudly, he couldnât help but want to pull BaiYing closer but the young man didnât care about him at all.
âOh yeah, who are you looking for in CuiAn brother? Iâll accompany you there later, itâs been a long time since Iâve been to CuiAn, even though itâs not that far awayâ
BaiYing stuttered, he didnât know what to answer.
âEh em, that distant family, eh is in the CuiAn valleyâ
âCuiAn Valley? Heard that the area is prone to disasters, does anyone still live there? No matter how dangerous the terrain, brother will accompany you thereâ
âHehe , I think, it no needs Young Master, itâll be troublesome for Young Masterâ
SuLang waved his hand.
âAlas, whatâs so troublesome, take it easy, after all, Iâm unemployed, heh that old man will definitely be angry and shout like a madman, this is really annoyingâ
When the two arrived at the outskirts of the city, a commotion broke out, the clanging of hard weapons clashing in the air, the sound of the wind and the pounding of bodies, there was a group of people fighting in front of their path.
A few people in blue uniforms, resembling personal bodyguards, and some people in black, it might be a band of robbers, but, their number was definitely twice the number of the people surrounded in blue, they looked overwhelmed and casualties were inevitable.
âHiatt!â
Ting ting ting ting!
âHiatt!â
Brukk!
Young master Su pulled the reins of his horse, intending to take BaiYing away, surely this was not their battle.
âCome on, brother, we better go.â
When the two turned around, behind them already appeared several people in palace guard clothes, Bai Yingâs eyes widened, palace guard? Damn, will they recognize him?
One of the men at the front shouted loudly.
âInsolent! Whoâs dare to make a fuss here?â and without a second thought, the group rushed past BaiYing and SuLang, towards the centre of the battle.
âHiaaat!â
âAdvance!!â
BaiYing almost dismounted from his horse XiaoHei who was surprised by the number of people passing by at once.
âheeeee!!â
Panic BaiYing couldnât control his horse, XiaoHei put his two front legs up with BaiYing still sitting on his saddle.
âNo XiaoHei!â bad, he could fall if like this? BaiYing tried to hold his body, the horse almost stood up straight on its two hind legs, while BaiYing who was less skilled couldnât hold his body and fell backwards.
âOh no, MingMing Brother!â
SuLangâs eyes went wide, BaiYingâs position was in front of him, where several soldiers passing separated their distance, but he couldnât let the young man fall, without thinking about anything else, SuLang pointed his long spear to dispel the people who came forward so he could jump towards BaiYing, trying to save him before he fell.
âXiao Ying!â
SuLang managed to knock down several men and pulled BaiYingâs hand towards him before falling, but, in an instant, someone also appeared hitting his hand makes his grip on BaiYing free.
âAh!â SuLangâs eyes went wide, his body was bounced far back due to the punch of someone who had caught BaiYingâs body and carried him away from the crowd, SuLang immediately stomped his foot and chased after the figure.
âGod damn it!â
The figure carried BaiYingâs body which was already in his arms towards the open field, where no one else was there, SuLang aimed his long spear at the person who from behind was wearing a wide blue robe that fluttered wildly, carried BaiYingâs body and twisted his body to hold the spear strike with his longsword.
âTing!â Loud noises rang out as the two weapons clashed in midair.
SuLang pushed the person, with all his might pushed him down to the ground until the dust flew as their feet stomped on the ground, in such a short time SuLang managed to hold the figureâs sword that he couldnât escape with BaiYing, or, it was just in his mind.
âHeheâ the figure smirked, pulling his lips to see the fierce face of young master Su who seemed to care nothing about attacking at high speed.
âThis is very interestingâ
SuLang who was still on full alert finally lowered his sharp eyes, he, seemed to know the figure is, and BaiYing, why did the young man just look at him with very calm eyes in the position of his body that that personâs hand? The youth even wrapped his arms around the personâs neck, afraid of falling.
âXiaoYingâ
âPardon me, but, heâs calling out my nameâ the person smirked.
The figure straightened its body, pushing SuLangâs long spear into place.
âBrother! Why did big brother come all of a sudden like that!â BaiYingâs shrill voice, he hit the shoulder of the person holding him, who else could irritate him if not his older brother ChenMing.
ChenMing straightened his body.
âHeh brat, still dares to ask, where have you been all this time? Why did you run away from home, you know not everyone is so worried about you, this kid, ichhâ ChenMing exasperatedly pinched BaiYingâs nose.
BaiYing let go of his brotherâs grip, looking at him intently.
âWho told you donât want to accompany Yingâer? Did brother think, Ying could just stay calm and quiet after hearing the news?â
ChenMing was still holding BaiYingâs hand tightly, he wouldnât let go of his hand again let alone his gaze from the boy, after days of chasing after him with traces of the Tracking Coin.
âBrother said we are waiting for news, come up with a plan, who doesnât want to save those people, you are really impatient, just watch out if you run away again, big brother will pinch you to death!â
