677 Back Up? Or Lock Up?
Long story short, Bai Ying said he would meet them later when the palace was in their hands. And that was one among other reasons for the two young men who passionately followed Yen Hui to seize the palace. Either way, that will be thought of later.
Luo Wang readied his sword. Looking at the soldiers who lined up neatly in front of them.
âDonât get in our way, your Prince is in our hands, we have come to negotiate.â Luo Wang said.
A young man sitting on his horse at the very front looked at Luo Wang and Yen Hui in turns. He grinned.
âHey, pardon me, but, we canât let that happen,â said the young man.
Yen Hui widened his eyes, he seemed to recognize the young man even though he wasnât sure because he hadnât seen him for a long time.
âEh, Brother Fu Yi?â he calls him.
The young man smiled and looked at Yen Hui for a long time.
âGreeting, Your Highnessâ
.....
Yen Hui was about to move forward but Luo Wangâs hand stopped him.
âHui erâ
âBrother, let us through, I just want to get Father out of there, please Brother, considering our good relationship in the past..this time, please let us go.â
âUnfortunately we canât do that, Your Majesty, look, we are the loyal troops of Wah Yeâs court, we have sworn to obey the leader of Wah Ye, whoever it isâ
Yen Hui looks at the young man with big eyes.
âBrother, but, how can you possibly do that? You were sworn to serve The King, not just the Palaceâ
Fu Yi, the young man just scratched his head.
âHeh, what can I do, little Prince, Iâm just a petty guard among othersâ
Luo Wang raised his sword to his shoulders.
âThen, does this mean you guys will also be fighting us? By all means, prevent us?â he asked.
The youth who was called Fu Yi shifted his horseâs head slightly, he was about to continue his words when he heard a scream from behind him.
âHui Er!â a girlâs voice.
The young man turned his head upwards, the sound came from a girl running past him towards Yen Hui. A girl with a gentle and beautiful face who canât wait to meet Yen Hui. Her wide and light dress swayed by the wind as the little girl cheerfully run.
âHui Er! Oh, thank goodness youâre okayâ cried a girl Yen Huiâs age.
Yen Hui widened his eyes, both surprised and happy to see the girl there, at that moment he was sure everything would be fine.
âHey, Mo Mo! Youâre here?â he asked in disbelief.
Fu Yi, the young man who was sitting on his horse smacked his forehead.
âHeh this girl, just spoil the funâ
Luo Wang lowered his sword. Seeing Yen Hui dismounted from his horse and greeted Lu Mo, the daughter of General Lu. Luo Wang pursed his lips, here she is, the fiance, and he really didnât like her no matter what Yen Hui say about her.
âOh thank goodness youâre okay, I was really worried about you,â said Lu Mo who couldnât wait to hug Yen Hui who had just gotten off his horse.
âHehe Mo er, are you guys alright? You have no idea how pleased I am to meet you here.â
At that moment, a sound of laughter was heard from behind the cavalry, and a middle-aged man in a golden suit with a light blue velvet robe, with a beard that had already filled his chin approached his horse. All soldiers opened the way for the man to pass.
âHehehehe His Royal Highness Prince Yen Hui, youâve grown up now, even dare to against so many soldiers at once in front of your eyesâ
Yen Hui had expected the old man to appear once his daughter was there.
âUncle! Eh, General Lu San!â he cried, unable to hide his joy. That was because his uncle, his biological motherâs adopted brother was already there. The man who had sworn to protect him no matter what happen, and he didnât come alone, with large troops lined up behind him.
But Luo Wang got down from his horse quickly and pulled Yen Huiâs hand from the young girl. He pulled Yen Hui behind him and drew his sword with a sharp and wary look at the old General Lu San and the ranks of his troops. Did the man really come to protect him? They never can trust people just like that.
âStay backâ
Lu Mo was about to approach Yen Hui again but Luo Wang really stand between them.
âHui erâ
âYou guys came to arrest Yen Hui? Donât think it will be easy. Mr Song, Mr Wangâ said Luo Wang.
General Lu San who saw Luo Wangâs sharp gaze and the two men standing in front of Yen Hui chuckled, this was the first time he saw this young man who was so passionate and not afraid of his troops, let alone him.
The troops lining up behind him took a step forward getting ready with their swords and spears.
Lu Mo was about to talk and get in the middle but Fu Yi held her.
âMo erâ
âBrother Yi, what is Father doing?â
General Lu San chuckled. He stroked his chin, then clenched his fist and lowered his head to pay respect to Luo Wang in front of him.
âGreetings, Your Highness Prince Luo Wang. Didnât expect to meet you here too. But, I beg you pardon, Your Majesty, are you sure, the three of you can fight us all? I donât think that the precious life of Little Prince Yen Hui is in your hands alone. Just relying on you guys?â he asked.
Luo Wang gritted his teeth. He clenched his fist tightly gripping the hilt of his sword. Wang Ye Hua is ready with his attack if needed. Two of his palms were emitting black smoke that slowly hovering on the ground. General Luâs eyes widened at the two young men behind Luo Wang who they couldnât seem to underestimate. The other day he heard from his men who were patrolling the outer border of the city that there was a young man who was emitting poisonous smoke from his hands, could it be, this person?
âHow about this? Hui er, are you really entrusting your life to these people?â asked the old man.
Yen Hui looked at Luo Wang, Song Ma Yi and Wang Ye Hua, then looked at the old General with sharp eyes.
âSure, uncle, I believe in them, more than anythingâ
The old General took a deep breath. He looks at the young prince and his friends one by one.
âHehâ
....
Chen Ming looked at Bai Ying, unable to believe what he said just now.
âYouâre crazy, you think how much blood is needed to forge a divine sword? It took days, tens of days, and how long do you think with your current condition you can last? You even almost died from loss of blood a little this timeâ said Chen Mng.
Bai Ying who was sitting leaning on the bed pursing his lips.
âEhm, it canât be helped, Brother, otherwise Young Master Sheng wonât be able to revive the spirit within the sword. Heâs right, the true divine sword is so formidable that it can cut through a dragonâs pearl, and, we really need that sword. Although now the man doesnât know he will lose the sword when he manages to cut it.â
Chen Ming pursed his mouth in annoyance, already knowing that his younger brother was very stubborn, how could he prevent him from doing whatever he wanted? He turned to Xiao Hong who was standing not far beside him, enjoying the fried peanuts in the packet in his hand. Xiao Hong widened his eyes looking at Chen Ming who was glaring at him.
âYeah, Your Majesty?â he asked.
âDonât just stand there and eat, say something, Xiao Ying is just a mere human now, he could die ridiculously from losing too much blood, tell him!â
Xiao Hong looked at Chen Ming, then looked at Bai Ying. They looked at each other for a moment.
âEm, thatâs right, Your Highness, right now Your Highness is only humanâ
Chen Ming glanced at Bai Ying as if to say that he and Xiao Hong was right.
âYou hear that, right? Even Xiao Hong thinks that way.â
Xiao Hong looked at Chen Ming who made him confused.
âBut, what His Highness the Viceroy said is correct, Prince Chen. If that man didnât forge the divine sword, then he wouldnât be able to split the dragon pearl, and if the dragon pearl wasnât split, then His Highness the Viceroy wouldnât be able to survive his injuries when he was a child. All of this is tantamount to saving himself.â
Chen Ming looked at Xiao Hong with a glare in annoyance, but after thinking about it, what Xiao Hong said had some truth to it. If he didnât do it now then little Bai Ying would die that night, all of this, was a chain reaction that happened because of their current actions. As it turned out, Bai Ying had been the one saving himself all along.
âHeh, this is so dizzyingâ
