661 Exposed
They were tall, of course, it was Bai Ying who was pushed down until his head cover was opened in front of everyone who was now looking at him.
âEh,â
The people who were none other than the palace soldiers looked at Bai Ying with big eyes. Bai Yingâs sweet and beautiful face clearly caught everyoneâs attention. The young man sat down in the middle of the crowd, where all suddenly stopped and stared at him.
âWow, heâs so prettyâ
âWho is he, he looks so youngâ
The voices of the residents.
Bai Ying swallowed his saliva whole. Seriously, how could he be so careless?
The youth was about to pull himself up and leave, but one of the soldiers on patrol held his hand.
âStop! What are you doing out here? Quickly take him to the palace!â cried the soldier. Bai Ying was trying to escape, this was impossible, why was he so unlucky?
.....
âLet me go! Xiao Hong!â he shouted.
Xiao Hong, who was in line, turned his head, his eyes flashing red as he saw Bai Ying who was being pulled by several people from a distance.
âYour Excellency!â
Bai Ying was powerless. Under no other circumstances would those people be able to touch him, but he already had no power there.
âEh, let me go!â
Suddenly from within the crowd someone appeared and pushed all the soldiers away from Bai Ying.
âHe said, let him go!â
Bai Ying didnât have the chance to see who was coming, the wind followed by the dust made him look away from whoever was holding his hand now.
âEhâ
As his vision cleared, he saw a tall, brown-clad figure that he was quite familiar with.
âYoung master Songâ was Song Ma Yi, who was still holding his arm and pulling him behind his body. Blocking the fallen soldiers when pushed.
Xiao Hong arrived. He was about to save Bai Ying when he saw that the big young man was already using his body as a shield.
âHey, this is quite interesting.â
The soldiers tried to get up. One by one drew their swords and started charging towards Song Ma Yi without warning.
âImpudent, how dare you fight us!â
But, Song Ma Yiâs strength from his massive body was no figment, he even managed to hold a sword with his bare hands and snap it in half. When another soldier came, he hit him with his right hand and threw the soldierâs body very far.
âAh!â
It was so far away that it crashed into the fruit merchantâs carriage that was in front of the Red Moon Brothelâs house.
âHey what are you doing? See all my merchandise is damaged, oh how is this!â even the sellerâs voice could be heard on the balcony of the second floor where the room where Luo Xiang and Bei Yau were located.
Luo Xiang glanced.
âHeh, what are they doing?â
......
Song Ma Yi widened his eyes. Is he exerting too much effort? He just pushed the soldier lightly and he flew so far away.
Xiao Hong approached and waved his hand and pushed all the soldiers who got up from their fall. A violent gust of wind sends everyone on his way down miserably where they were before.
âAh!â
Xiao Hong pulled Bai Yingâs hand away from Song Ma Yi and stood in front of him. It wasnât long before more men came when they saw their comrades fall in the middle of the road groaning in pain.
âWhat happened?â exclaimed the man probably the leader who was standing at the very front looking at Bai Ying, Xiao Hong and Song Ma Yi.
Xiao Hong rolled up his wide sleeves, looking at the soldierâs head with a sharp gaze. Then looked around where the residents were looking at them with strange looks.
The men pointed their swords and long spears at Bai Ying and the others who were already surrounded.
Song Ma Yi clenched his fists. He already jump into the pond, he thought, itâs better to get wet and fight with life if necessary along with these very great people.
âYou know you have violated the rules of the palace, you think you want to fight all of us, even the palace?â said the chief soldier.
Xiao Hong grinned, those unimportant people try to threaten them? How ridiculous is that?
He turned his body to clean Bai Yingâs clothes which had been covered in dust when fall earlier.
âYour Highness, look at how dirty this is, is Your Highness okay?â he asked.
Bai Ying nodded.
âIâm fine, Xiao Hong, but I think I hurt my hand when I fell earlier, it hurt a bit.â
Xiao Hong saw Bai Yingâs wrist which was slightly red. He widened his eyes and glared at the soldiers who surrounded them. Everyone simultaneously took one step back in trepidation as Xiao Hongâs eyes flashed red, a terrifying look. Those men held their breath to get ready to attack even though their legs were shaking a little.
âHow dare you! No one in this world is allowed to hurt His Majesty, are you all tired of living!â Xiao Hong raised his hand. Little red sparks were seen rotating in his palm as if ready to form a circle of fire that he usually emits when he is about to attack. However, a voice stopped him.
âXiao Hongâ
All eyes turned towards the voice just as Xiao Hong had already formed red flames in his palms. Bai Yingâs grip on his arm made him stop.
âXiao Hong, donât hurt them, they are just human,â said the young man.
Xiao Hong whose face was already red with anger finally calmed down, Bai Yingâs voice was enough to calm him down.
Luo Xiang and Bei Yau had already walked towards the middle of the crowd. The arrival of the two made the atmosphere even more boisterous. Luo Xiangâs majestic face and the radiance that shines from his body as he walks gracefully left everyone in awe.
âWh-who are you?â asked the head soldier stuttering.
Luo Xiang approached Bai Ying. Checking his red wrist.
âMy Ying Ying, are you alright?â he asked with a very calm voice like how he was.
Bai Ying nodded, he smiled so widely that his eyes disappeared.
âIâm fine Your Highnessâ
With Bai Yingâs beautiful face, Luo Xiangâs majesty and Xiao Hongâs dazzling charm, which citizens wouldnât be in awe of them? However, the appearance of the three is far beyond what they have seen so far. What is clear is that they are not like Wah Ye residents in common.
Luo Xiang looked at the crowd of soldiers and glanced at Bei Yau for a moment. He then took Bai Yingâs hand and walks away.
âCome on my Ying Ying, letâs get back to our carriages.â
At first, the soldiers were ready to chase, but Bei Yauâs longsword blocked their way.
âWatch your moves, this is not a good way, brothers, you better turn around and act as if nothing happened here, just follow my advice if you still care about your lives,â Bei Yau said coldly.
His words, as well as the bodyguardâs cold gaze, made the soldiers swallow their saliva whole. They werenât just ordinary, their abilities were probably nothing to them. Those people could kill them very easily.
Chen Ming who heard the commotion outside woke up and was surprised to not find Bai Ying nearby. The young prince had just pushed aside the carriage curtain and stepped out when he saw Bai Ying and the Crown Prince approaching.
âBrother, where have you been? Did you run away while I was sleeping huh? This brat!â Chen Ming exclaimed pulling Bai Yingâs hand.
Bai Ying whimpered as Chen Ming pulled him.
âAh brother, please take it easy, Ying erâs hand hurts.â
Chen Ming looked at his brother from head to toe. Then he tweaked his brotherâs ear excitedly.
âWho told you to come out? This kid is really looking for trouble, which else is hurt?â
âWhy is this brother so fierce!â Bai Ying exclaimed looking at Chen Ming with sharp eyes.
Chen Ming was exasperated, he wanted to pinch his younger brotherâs cheeks even more because the stubborn one looked like he didnât regret what he had done at all.
âThis bratâ
Before long the crowd dispersed. The soldiers didnât seem to want to cause much trouble and one by one left Bei Yau and the others who were still standing in the middle of the road.
âWell, let them know how it tastes, dealing with the wrong people,â said the residents, gradually leaving the location to return to their activities.
âYeah, they donât seem to be people from here either, they are great,â continued the other residents.
Bei Yau and Xiao Hong turned their bodies back to where they had stopped their carriage. Meanwhile, Song Ma Yi was still stunned in place while looking at his palm. Then looked at the soldiers who passed away after observing their faces one by one.
âOh, what have I done? If this is the case, how can I register as a palace soldier? Oh, what have I done? Stupid Ma Yiâ he grumbled as he hit his head, moaning because it turned out that his punch was harder than he had known all this time.
âOuch, it hurtsâ
