616 The Villa
There was a faint sound like running water and something swaying. They walked carefully deeper inside and without realizing they were far enough away from the wall where they had been. With Bai Yingâs abilities, stone walls would not be difficult for him if he want to destroy them and get out of there, but right now their main goal was to find young master Chang and the others.
They finally arrived at the other part of the cave with a much bigger room than earlier, the stones under their feet were wet and a little slippery, Xu Yan almost fall if he didnât hold on to Bai Ying.
âYoung masterâ
Bai Ying flicked his oil lamp around the room, there was nothing in there but stones and a wet floor. However, his ears heard something like a snaring rope holding something quite heavy swaying above his head. The young man raised his head and widened his eyes to see something he had never seen before.
âWhatâs this?â
There were countless hanging things as if white hanging lanterns, not so clear what is that. He was just about to turn on the light brighter to see more clearly when Xu Yanâs grip suddenly slipped from him.
âAh!â
Xu Yan widened his eyes, feeling something tug at his leg, Bai Ying was about to reach his hand when suddenly an enormous force pulled the young man away from him at a tremendous speed.
âYoung master!â Xu Yan exclaimed frantically.
.....
âYoung Master Xu!â
....
The sun was rising, the sky wasnât even that bright when the huge horses of the Crown Prince and others lined up proudly inside the gate of the Black Widowâs villa, all the female guards drew their weapons to block them from entering. But, who can prevent it if the Crown Prince really wants to go in there?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not long after, from inside the big house, Mrs Mao appeared followed by Miss Hu and others. The woman smiled broadly at the arrival of a noble guest so early in the morning that time, even before the sunlight shone, the good-looking schene from the handsome man sitting on the biggest and most stout horse in front of her make her eyes light up instantly.
âWow, what dream I had last night until I got very great honour for an unexpected visit from a very enchanting noble guest, may I ask, who are these young men? And, how did you get inside my gate so easily?â asked Mrs Mao seeing the Crown Prince who looked at her without expression, even though at that time the woman was already wearing the sexiest and most revealing clothes, sheer silk that exposed the curves of her waist to her breasts. Didnât she feel any cold at all? Thought Chen Ming.
âSheâs really somethingâ
Bei Yauâs men grabbed two middle-aged men and pushed them down in front of Madam Mao and Miss Hu. Mrs Maoâs eyes widened, they are the village chief and his coachman.
âMy madam, please forgive me, they forced usâ
Madam Mao pursed her mouth, looking at the two men with sharp eyes.
âUselessâ
Luo Xiang got off his horse, hooked his hands behind his waist, and looked around carefully. The field was quite large, with a sizable building not far at the end of the road and a green garden as far as the eye could see. Not the usual buildings they found in the Purple Water village. He stopped his gaze on Mrs Mao, looking her up and down. At first glance, she just looked like an ordinary adult woman, maybe in her late twenties, but that woman had a smooth and supple face and skin like a young woman in general, she looked very beautiful and fresh.
âForgive us for barging in, maâam, but, someone who is so important to me was brought here and hasnât come home until today, you think, what should I do, while you havenât invited me in to meet him yet up to now?â the Crown Princeâs heavy and deep voice cause the dashing smile on Mrs Maoâs face even wider.
The woman swayed her body closer to the Crown Prince about to touch him with her slender fingers.
âHehe young master, you are very dashing and handsome, if you really want to come in here you should just say so, I will be very happy to open the door for you to enter. How can I not know thereâs a very handsome man in this cursed village?â
The Crown Prince let her just touch his clothes but raised his hand to hold her hand when he was about to touch his neck.
Crown Prince smiled.
âHey, you are very attractive madam, beautiful, smooth and silky skin, fragrant, very tempting, but, for some reason you are hiding in the woods covering your beauty from the outside world, is it because there are things that make you forbidden to get out of here?â
Luo Xiangâs question made Mrs Mao stop her smile. Seeing the Crown Prince looking as if he knew about her secret. Her face looks pale.
âThat, not like that, why should I bother to go out? While I can have whatever I want here, the world outside is so dangerousâ
Luo Xiang glanced at Bei Yau who was standing not far behind him.
âBeiâ
One word from him, and Bei Yau had already raised his hand at the approximately six young soldiers accompanying him to advance towards the building, even when Madam Mao and Miss Hu were too late to stop them.
âHey, what are you guys doing?â Miss Hu exclaimed, with the soldiersâ skill who were far above the female guards it wasnât difficult for them to enter the villa.
Miss Hu tried to dissuade Bei Yau.
âDonât be presumptuous, you canât just walk into someone elseâs residence like that!â She held Bei Yauâs shoulder.
The young bodyguard looked at Miss Hu with a sharp gaze and then shook off her grip.
âPlease make way madam, you donât know who you have offended at this timeâ with a slight movement Bei Yau pushed the lady back from her place and into the direction of the villa.
Chen Ming lazily got off his horse, he looked around to see where his brother might be. With the commotion here, the boy would have seen them, unless he was in some place from which he couldnât get out. Chen Ming glanced at Xiao Hong standing beside the horse.
âHong, canât you feel brotherâs presence here? Where is that rotten kid now?â
Xiao Hong looked around the villa complex, he shook his head.
âI donât feel anything Prince, probably because His Highness the Young King might be sleeping or in an unreachable place, there is also a possibility, he isnât here.â
......
The wind blew gently, blowing the magnificent Crown Princeâs clothes far. Heâs sitting with his legs crossed on a chair in front of the garden while enjoying tea served by Mrs Mao. He didnât even hesitate to drink it whether it was poisoned or not.
Meanwhile, madam Mao sat in her chair with Miss Hu beside her. The woman was helpless, looking at their guests now, not a single one of them could stand against those burly men. There was no choice but to let them search their villa and pull the young men out and gather in front of the garden.
Luo Xiang raised his head. Young men, with the same clothes, clean faces and skin. Some even wore clothes that showed almost all of the front of their bodies. Luo Xiang pulled his lips, the clothes are so see-through, only one layer and the chest part is exposed, is his Ying Ying also wearing it? How could they let him wear that? And where is that brat now, how come after being there for so long, he hasnât even come out to greet him?
âYour Highnessâ Bei Yau lowered his head before the Crown Prince.
âThis them all?â he asked.
Bei Yau nodded.
âThatâs right Your Highness, there are twenty-five youths in total, neither young master Xu nor Chang Lo.â
Luo Xiang looked at the youths standing close together.
There was a chuckle from Mrs Mao.
âYoung master, donât make me the bad person here, we did bring these youths here, but we didnât detain them, just look at them, have they been mistreated here all this time? Eat well, just relax, and donât need to study hard or work in the fields, they all really enjoy their lives here. If you donât believe it, you can ask it yourself.â
Luo Xiang looked at the youths, ate and slept, didnât have to work, of course, who wouldnât want to?
âThen, where are Ying Ying and a few other youths?â asked Luo Xiang.
Mrs Mao frowned, thinking about who the man was referring to, she saw Miss Hu who was standing beside her again. The woman silently gave Mrs Mao a code.
âEh thatâ
âDonât test our patience madam, we donât have all day hereâ
Luo Xiang observed the two. He threw his hand as he put the cup on the table, and with no effort released the strong hitting the trees not far beside them. The trees sway so strongly that they heard a very clear cracking sound.
Madam Mao and the others widened their eyes in surprise.
âAkhâ
The sound of a tree cracking was so clear followed by the big tree falling hard to the ground.
