The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C396

Ever since he received the orders from the Lord Jia, Mu Ying was grateful for his kindness and admiration for his loyalty and patriotism.

After the group of people arrived at Bei Yan, they headed towards the Purple Forest Manor. Because the previous Crown Prince, Peng Xian, was the late king’s favorite prince, and he was born from a direct mother. And although Peng Cheng was the eldest son, he was only born from a lateral consort.

As a result, although the Little Prince did not ascend to the throne, according to the etiquette system, he still had to give them to the cities. However, Peng Cheng’s heart was venomous and after hearing the Prime Minister’s urging, he was worried that Peng Xian would one day make a comeback. Thus, he used this opportunity to send Peng Xian to Yan Nation as a proton.

Although she was called a proton, she should have welcomed Yue Yang properly when she arrived at Yan Nation. Let’s “take good care of” him. At the same time, he had them send people to monitor Peng Xian’s every move.

Mu Ying followed the address given by the Lord Jia and quickly arrived at the Zi Lin Manor.

After arriving at the Violet Forest Palace, everyone quickly suspected that they had gone to the wrong place. This was because the magistrate court in front of them was too shocking.

A few broken thatched cottages were surrounded by a bamboo fence made of mud, crumbling and crumbling. The wooden door outside was also rotten beyond recognition. A few sparse pieces of wood were tied up with a vine. Green smoke was continuously coming out from the thatched cottage, accompanied by the cough of the old man.

“Master, did we go wrong?” Seeing that, Wei Ming stepped forward and asked Mu Ying.

From this scene, it was clear that this was a place where people lived in the countryside. Moreover, looking at this crumbling house, it was likely that even the average commoner would not be able to live here.

“The address given by the Lord Jia is indeed here.” Mu Ying took out the map and looked at it again.

“But, this doesn’t look like the Purple Forest Palace at all. It doesn’t look like a place at all. There must be a mistake.” Wei Ming scratched his head.

“Since everyone is here, let’s go in and take a look.” Mu Ying said as he prepared to go in.

Just as their hands were about to push open the door, a group of soldiers appeared out of nowhere. They pointed their swords at Mu Ying and said aggressively: “Who are you, what do you want!”

Seeing that, Wei Ming became uncomfortable, and his hand rested on his blade’s hilt. But Mu Ying stopped him with his eyes.

“Brothers, we were just passing by and saw a room here, so we wanted to come and ask for some water.” Mu Ying cupped his hands and said.

“Scram! This isn’t a place you should be. Scram!” Without waiting for Mu Ying to finish speaking, the leader rudely pushed two people away, telling them to leave quickly.

“Lord, do you want to …” When Wei Ming saw that they were jostling with his princes, he immediately wanted to fight them. With their skills, defeating them would not be an issue.

“No.” Mu Ying secretly shook his head at Wei Ming and stood up to accompany him.

“Looks like this place is correct.” After the two dodged those people, Wei Ming immediately opened his mouth.

“Mm, if it weren’t for them, why would there be so many people guarding this shabby house?” However, it seems like the crown prince is not in a good mood. ” Wei Ming shook his head.

“Our current goal is to bring the crown prince away, but Min Hanbatian and the people of Yan Nation are watching him, so we have to be careful. Best to be quiet and not make too much noise. To avoid being discovered by Min Hanbatian. ” Mu Ying instructed.

“Yes, milord.”

After the two of them finished talking, they came back to find a team not far away and let them stay hidden so that the people of Yan would not discover them. On the other hand, Mu Ying brought a few hidden guards and snuck into the thatched cottage when it was dark.

Although there were many soldiers patrolling outside, there was not a single person inside.

When Mu Ying and the others reached the cottage, they heard a cough, so they pushed open the door and entered.

Pushing the door open, a musty smell wafted over. It was extremely pungent. Mu Ying looked around, only to see broken holes everywhere. Last night’s heavy rain was everywhere, and now, water was dripping everywhere. Thinking that the hunchbacked old man was facing away from them as he cooked, he put the wet grass into the kitchen stove, and then a plume of smoke rose.

Being choked by the thick smoke, Mu Ying and the rest could not help but wave their hands in front of their eyes and started to cough.

Hearing the cough, the old man was startled and quickly turned around.

“Ah, who are you?” Despite the thick smoke, the old man could see the swords at their waists.

“Old man, we want to ask if Crown Prince Peng Xian lives here.” Wei Ming was the first to ask, his eyes filled with tears.

“No, no. Get out.” After the old man heard this, he immediately denied it and quickly walked over, wanting to chase Mu Ying and the others away. Didn’t he think that the ground was slippery? He was already old, and seeing that the road was unsteady, he fell down.

“Be careful!” Mu Ying reacted quickly and went forward to support the old man, but what happened next was seen by Peng Xian who had rushed over when he heard the sound.

Seeing that there were so many people surrounding the old man, he immediately picked up a stick and pointed at Mu Ying and the others, “Let him go!”

“Your Highness, don’t worry about me. Run!” Hearing Peng Xian’s voice, the old man immediately pushed Mu Ying away and shouted to Peng Xian and the rest.

“I’m not leaving … Let him go. ” Peng Xian said as he raised his rod and swung it towards Mu Ying.

Before he could even get close to Mu Ying, he grabbed the rod, and then lightly lifted the crown prince up.

“Let me go, let me go!” Peng Xian shouted excitedly after being captured, and was struggling non-stop.

Mu Ying was worried that Yue Yang would attract other soldiers over, so he quickly gagged. Only then did he calm down.

After the thick smoke dispersed, Peng Xian and the old man were trapped in their broken chairs.

“Listen up, I was sent by the Lord Jia to welcome you back home. The Lord Jia has already rebelled, and now, they want me to bring you back to fight for the throne. “Don’t say anything, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I might attract other soldiers outside.” Mu Ying said.

Seeing Little Prince nod his head, he let Wei Ming undo him and take off the cloth in his mouth.

“I can see that you’re wearing the clothes of Yan Country, but even though you say that you’re a comforting person, there’s a sense of nobility between your brows. I’m guessing that your identity definitely isn’t simple.” Little Prince said as he circled Mu Ying after he was released.

When Mu Ying heard him, he was surprised for a moment. He did not expect the crown prince to be so young, but his standards were much higher than ordinary people. Especially the pair of bright and spirited eyes, it gave people a feeling of steadiness and wisdom. No one dared to underestimate him.

“Prince, you must be joking. I am just a person who walks the martial arts world.” It was only because Lord Jia thought so highly of me that I was promoted to the position of a general and brought people to welcome you. ” Mu Ying replied perfunctorily.

“You are from West Cold?” Who would have thought that not only did the crown prince not listen to what Mu Ying said, he even said it in a shocking manner.

“What?” Wei Ming was obviously shocked. When Mu Ying heard Little Prince’s words, he also felt surprised in his heart. Even after hiding for so long, besides the Lord Jia, no one had managed to guess his identity.

Hearing Little Prince say that, Mu Ying could not help but sit down, and asked with interest: “How do you know?”

“That’s simple,” Little Prince said after hearing Mu Ying’s question, proving that his guess was right. He didn’t show any complacency on his face, as if it was a matter of course.

“You are very smart. Although you tried your best to cover up your accent, but there was a very soft voice just now. You got it wrong.” Little Prince walked in front of Mu Ying with his hands behind his back.

“At this point, I am sure you can imitate the accent of our comfort zone people. In addition, we have always had damp weather and the ground is often slippery. Over time, as long as one encountered this type of rainy weather, they would reflexively open their legs a bit, and their feet would open up, intending to make themselves more stable. And you didn’t. ” Little Prince looked at Mu Ying’s feet.

When Wei Ming and the others heard this, they hurriedly spread their legs a little.

“Your observation skills are very strong and very meticulous.” Mu Ying nodded his head, curious about how he managed to guess the specific country.

“After confirming that you are not a comfort person, next is to guess the country. You can carry this treasured sword with you, and its scabbard is extremely exquisite and beautiful, especially this piece of ancient jade on the sword hilt.

Mu Ying turned his head to look at the treasure sword on the table, he raised his eyebrows and looked like he did not know what to do.

“Use the ancient jade inlaid on the handle. If you hold it, it will feel cold. No matter how long you hold it, there won’t be any sweat. This jade is flawless, gentle and exquisite. Although it looks pure white, it is emitting a faint green light. Little Prince stepped forward and caressed the jade and said.

“Hmm …” His eyes were sharp, and what he said was not wrong at all. Mu Ying responded and waited for him to continue.

“This jade is loved by all countries, but the color of the jade produced by all countries varies greatly. They were divided into white, green, red, black and yellow. This cyan jade was produced in the West Cold, it was pure in color, one in a thousand miles, extremely rare, if one obtained this kind of beautiful jade, they would definitely pay it to the imperial government. And if you were to use him as an inlay for your sword, your status would definitely be very prestigious. To be able to safely arrive at the comfort zone and gain the trust of the Lord Jia, and to become a general so quickly, his skills and abilities must be extremely high. And you look great. At the same time. “Could it be that you are …”

“You are the renowned Great General of the conquest, the little brother of the Emperor. Yes, that must be it! ”

Little Prince speculated as he spoke. Following his own line of thinking, he actually managed to guess Mu Ying’s identity in one move.

This surprised everyone present. He didn’t expect that not only was the little prince’s eyesight extremely good, but the scope of this knowledge was also very wide.

“Your Highness, be careful.” Hearing that the group of people were from West Cold, the old man tensed up again, and immediately blocked in front of Little Prince, telling him to crawl quickly.

“Zhong Bo, don’t worry, they won’t hurt me.” Little Prince held the old man’s hand and walked towards Mu Ying.

“Initially, the Acupoint Charm and the West Cold were on good terms. However, after Peng Cheng, that unconscious king, went up on stage and listened to the words of the scoundrel, that was why they started war with various countries, causing public outrage.”

“I heard that West Cold was slightly superior to the other West Cold at their final stop, but the two nations are still in a stalemate. Now, if I return successfully and ascend to the throne, I can resume good relations with the West Cold and remove the alarm from both countries. Killing me will not benefit West Cold in any way. ”

The Little Prince trusted Mu Ying quite a bit.
