CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

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.

“Don’t get in our way, your Prince is in our hands, we have come to negotiate.” 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.

“Hey, pardon me, but, we can’t let that happen,” said the young man.

Yen Hui widened his eyes, he seemed to recognize the young man even though he wasn’t sure because he hadn’t seen him for a long time.

“Eh, Brother Fu Yi?” he calls him.

The young man smiled and looked at Yen Hui for a long time.

“Greeting, Your Highness”

.....

Yen Hui was about to move forward but Luo Wang’s hand stopped him.

“Hui er”

“Brother, 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.”

“Unfortunately we can’t do that, Your Majesty, look, we are the loyal troops of Wah Ye’s court, we have sworn to obey the leader of Wah Ye, whoever it is”

Yen Hui looks at the young man with big eyes.

“Brother, but, how can you possibly do that? You were sworn to serve The King, not just the Palace”

Fu Yi, the young man just scratched his head.

“Heh, what can I do, little Prince, I’m just a petty guard among others”

Luo Wang raised his sword to his shoulders.

“Then, does this mean you guys will also be fighting us? By all means, prevent us?” he asked.

The youth who was called Fu Yi shifted his horse’s head slightly, he was about to continue his words when he heard a scream from behind him.

“Hui Er!” a girl’s 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 can’t wait to meet Yen Hui. Her wide and light dress swayed by the wind as the little girl cheerfully run.

“Hui Er! Oh, thank goodness you’re okay” cried a girl Yen Hui’s 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.

“Hey, Mo Mo! You’re here?” he asked in disbelief.

Fu Yi, the young man who was sitting on his horse smacked his forehead.

“Heh this girl, just spoil the fun”

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 didn’t like her no matter what Yen Hui say about her.

“Oh thank goodness you’re okay, I was really worried about you,” said Lu Mo who couldn’t wait to hug Yen Hui who had just gotten off his horse.

“Hehe Mo er, are you guys alright? You have no idea how pleased I am to meet you here.”

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.

“Hehehehe His Royal Highness Prince Yen Hui, you’ve grown up now, even dare to against so many soldiers at once in front of your eyes”

Yen Hui had expected the old man to appear once his daughter was there.

“Uncle! Eh, General Lu San!” he cried, unable to hide his joy. That was because his uncle, his biological mother’s adopted brother was already there. The man who had sworn to protect him no matter what happen, and he didn’t come alone, with large troops lined up behind him.

But Luo Wang got down from his horse quickly and pulled Yen Hui’s 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.

“Stay back”

Lu Mo was about to approach Yen Hui again but Luo Wang really stand between them.

“Hui er”

“You guys came to arrest Yen Hui? Don’t think it will be easy. Mr Song, Mr Wang” said Luo Wang.

General Lu San who saw Luo Wang’s 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.

“Mo er”

“Brother Yi, what is Father doing?”

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.

“Greetings, Your Highness Prince Luo Wang. Didn’t 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 don’t think that the precious life of Little Prince Yen Hui is in your hands alone. Just relying on you guys?” 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 Lu’s eyes widened at the two young men behind Luo Wang who they couldn’t 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?

“How about this? Hui er, are you really entrusting your life to these people?” 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.

“Sure, uncle, I believe in them, more than anything”

The old General took a deep breath. He looks at the young prince and his friends one by one.

“Heh”

....

Chen Ming looked at Bai Ying, unable to believe what he said just now.

“You’re 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 time” said Chen Mng.

Bai Ying who was sitting leaning on the bed pursing his lips.

“Ehm, it can’t be helped, Brother, otherwise Young Master Sheng won’t be able to revive the spirit within the sword. He’s right, the true divine sword is so formidable that it can cut through a dragon’s pearl, and, we really need that sword. Although now the man doesn’t know he will lose the sword when he manages to cut it.”

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.

“Yeah, Your Majesty?” he asked.

“Don’t 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!”

Xiao Hong looked at Chen Ming, then looked at Bai Ying. They looked at each other for a moment.

“Em, that’s right, Your Highness, right now Your Highness is only human”

Chen Ming glanced at Bai Ying as if to say that he and Xiao Hong was right.

“You hear that, right? Even Xiao Hong thinks that way.”

Xiao Hong looked at Chen Ming who made him confused.

“But, what His Highness the Viceroy said is correct, Prince Chen. If that man didn’t forge the divine sword, then he wouldn’t be able to split the dragon pearl, and if the dragon pearl wasn’t split, then His Highness the Viceroy wouldn’t be able to survive his injuries when he was a child. All of this is tantamount to saving himself.”

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 didn’t 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.

“Heh, this is so dizzying”
