The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C397
Hearing his words, Mu Ying couldn’t help but smile. He rubbed Little Prince’s head: “I didn’t expect that at your age, your intelligence would actually far surpass ordinary people.”
“Impudent! Don’t touch my head!” Little Prince had a rather big temper. After being scolded by Mu Ying, he immediately put on an air of arrogance and started scolding him aggressively.
When everyone saw this scene, they found it even more hilarious. Although it was funny, in his heart, he admired the Little Prince.
“Of course. His Highness the Crown Prince is extremely talented and extremely intelligent. At the age of five, he was able to read a book on military affairs. At the age of seven, he began to have his own understanding on national affairs.” “After that, it was filled with books, there was nothing that he didn’t know and everything that he didn’t know.” When the Zhong Bo heard Mu Ying praise the Little Prince, he was also extremely proud.
“Unfortunately, in the end, it was Peng Cheng who forged the imperial edict and stole the power from them.” Zhong Bo was indignant when she thought of this.
“Peng Cheng is ungrateful and useless, but it’s a pity that I ended up like this in his hands.” Little Prince sighed silently, his brows were filled with worry.
“Your Highness, there is no need to worry. We are here to pick you up and take over the throne.” Mu Ying stood up and patted the Little Prince’s head.
He wanted to resist, but seeing that Mu Ying was tall and strong, skilled in martial arts, and that he was the West Cold’s Prince, he couldn’t do anything about him, and could only allow him to slap him on the face.
A few days ago, I received a letter from Lord Jia, saying that Min Hanbatian had also sent some people over, so it would be inconvenient for us to stay here any longer. Mu Ying arranged.
“There’s nothing to accept, only a few books.” Little Prince helplessly warned.
When Mu Ying saw Little Prince looking lonely, he sat on the fourth step at the door and also sat beside him.
“Is there anyone else here?” Mu Ying was speechless.
“There were some guards and maids who were killed by them for various reasons earlier.” Little Prince was very calm when she mentioned this.
“Now, the only one left is my benefactor, Zhong Bo. Zhong Bo has always been relying on me to cook, my eyes are almost going blind from the smoke …” He turned around and looked at Zhong Bo, who was not far away, and felt extremely guilty.
“Then you never thought of running away?” Mu Ying asked.
“If I were to escape, wouldn’t that be perfect for them? The flight of a proton was tantamount to a capital offense. They can’t kill me. They can’t wait for me to run away so they can kill me. ” He didn’t expect the Crown Prince to be so knowledgeable about these things at such a young age.
However, it made sense when one thought about it. Since he was born into a royal family, how could he possibly not be mature? Furthermore, he had been through so much doubts.
The two of them did not say much before Wei Ming, who had gone with Zhong Bo, returned.
He was carrying an entire stack of books and the Zhong Bo was even holding onto a few pieces of clothes that couldn’t be any more torn.
“Zhong Bo, you don’t need these clothes. Once we leave, I will order some people to get new clothes for all of you.” Mu Ying asked Zhong Bo to throw away all the clothes.
“Alright, alright.” Zhong Bo nodded his head and rubbed his eyes.
After cleaning up, Wei Ming observed the situation outside to confirm that it was safe before bringing the rest of them out. Presumably he thought that Little Prince was too weak and would always be well-behaved, so he lowered his guard.
When he came out, he saw that the guards outside were still drinking under a big tree.
Mu Ying brought them out, and quickly reunited with his team, then escaped from Yan Nation in the middle of the night.
The pitiful Yan Guo Guards had still thought that the two would live in there, so they didn’t care much about it. After knowing that a few days later, Min Hanbatian sent a team over to ask, they rushed in. Only now did he realize that Little Prince and the rest had long run away.
Min Hanbatian’s men anxiously chased without stopping. On the other side, Mu Ying and the others were also rushing towards the desert.
“In front of us is Yang Shuo.” Mu Ying and Wei Ming rode together, and reached out their hands to cover their eyebrows while looking into the distance.
“It’s getting late today. There aren’t any inns nearby. Go and inform them to set up camp here for the time being.”
Mu Ying looked at the sky, it was already late, and the carriage behind kept on emitting sounds of Zhong Bo coughing, probably because he was too old, and could not bear the bumpy ride. The Crown Prince was still young, so even though they wanted to arrive earlier, they still had to take into account their bodies.
After staying there for a short while, everyone fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Mu Ying held onto his sword and did not enter the tent. Instead, he leaned on a large tree with his stomach, with one leg deep in the air, he bent his knees and went to sleep. Because he couldn’t let anything happen to the crown prince. Firstly, he did not disappoint the Lord Jia, and secondly, he hoped that he could defeat the Min Han Family and save Xue Moyun.
He had originally wanted to seek help from his royal brother after finding Xue Moyun, maybe he could negotiate with the comfort barrier to save Xue Moyun. Unexpectedly, not long ago, Mu Zhuoshi’s letter caused his heart to turn cold, and for a moment, he felt cold to the core.
Xue Moyun fought bravely with him on the Northern Frontier Battlefield to bring honor to the country. Who would have thought that after being kidnapped, her royal brother would ignore her and call her a traitor? I’m going to arrest him and charge him. When he heard that Mu Ying, despite his persuasion, had put on the guard and went to rescue them, he was enraged to the point that he even wanted to capture Mu Ying.
It had to be said that when Mu Ying received this letter, he was still extremely disappointed in Mu Zheng. For so many years, he had been willing to die for him and for this country. He had never asked for anything.
But he knew full well that Xue Moyun was the person he cared about the most, yet he still ordered for them to be apprehended despite everything. He didn’t even let his own brother go.
Also, Mu Ying remembered that Mu Zheng had always been a wise man, a man who let others use him well, so why did he become such a scoundrel? Mu Ying could not understand, and buried this disagreement deep within his heart.
Now, he could only save Xue Moyun first before thinking about future matters. No matter what, she must seek justice for Xue Moyun and return her innocence.
As Mu Ying thought about these things, he raised his head to look at the sky and thought about Xue Moyun’s smiling face once again. It was unknown when and how long it would be before he could meet her again.
Mu Ying then slowly fell asleep.
Suddenly, a rustling sound could be heard. Mu Ying had sharp hearing, and immediately woke up: “Who!”
Mu Ying pulled out his sword and stood up.
“It’s me.” At this time, Little Prince walked over while rubbing his eyes: “It’s already so late and you’re still awake?”
“Oh, it’s you.” Seeing that it was the crown prince, Mu Ying relaxed and sheathed his sword.
“Yes, I’ve been asleep for a long time, but it’s more convenient for me to get up.” The Little Prince said.
“Oh, then this humble official will accompany you to the hall?” Mu Ying said as he reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“No, I’m not a child anymore, how awkward is it for you to go? Furthermore, the people of the deep of the night are in the wilderness, we have already escaped from Yan Kingdom, so we will be fine. ”
Little Prince said shyly, as he firmly refused Mu Ying’s company.
“Alright then. You just have to stay under the big tree not too far away from here. I’ll wait here for you. Call me if you need anything. ” Mu Ying couldn’t argue with this brat, so he could only turn around and wait for him.
“Mm. Alright.”
Mu Ying turned and waited quietly, the night was quiet, only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard. Mu Ying waited for a long time, but he did not hear Peng Xian’s voice. He could not help but ask: “Is it done?”
However, after waiting for a while and seeing no response, Mu Ying was shocked, Little Prince must have been kidnapped.
He rushed over to take a look, but the figure of the Little Prince was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Ying quickly woke everyone up and searched everyone. He found the imprint of the carriage not far away. So it turned out that Min Hanbatian’s men had been travelling day and night, and had arrived long ago. It must be them!
Mu Ying led his troops and chased after them. The two armies were in a constant state of fighting, but the Little Prince had long since been moved away by them, so they could not find him.
Mu Ying chased them while fighting, all the way until Yang Shuo.
“I thought it would take some effort to find the crown prince, but I never expected that I would meet you in the end…” After Mu Ying finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Xue Moyun again, it was unknown when, but he had long fallen asleep within his story.
“Go to sleep. You’ve been tired recently.” “Thank you for your hard work, Ye Muyun. We will never part again.” Mu Ying covered Xue Moyun with the quilt and connected the two chairs. Then, he fell asleep in Xue Moyun’s room.
He was truly afraid, afraid that he would be separated from her again. This was especially the case now. Since she was carrying her own child, she had to end the battle quickly. She had to let her calm down and safely give birth to her own child.
“How is the king these days?”
Inside the residence, Min Hanbatian was chuckling. He did not look like a minister that could cover the sky at all, but he looked like a holy man hidden in the bamboo forest.
However, everyone who knew him well knew that his appearance was the most terrifying.
A red man who was on duty beside the king came up to greet him and respectfully replied, “The king has been indulging himself in fun lately. That hot beauty from the Western Region who is paying tribute to the king has been so captivated by him for three days now.”
Min Hanbatian slightly narrowed his eyes, and nodded in satisfaction. “Since the king likes beauties so much, I will look everywhere for them and see if there are any more beautiful women for him.”
The ‘chess piece’ who was always monitoring the Emperor beside him laughed, “Yes, this subordinate will definitely do so. Your excellency has always been kind to the king, and the king will certainly trust you more. Your excellency’s arrival at the highest position will be just around the corner. ”
Min Hanbatian picked up his tea and took a sip, “Your words are wrong.”
The man trembled in fear and took a deep breath, “My lord…” “What do you mean?”
Min Hanbatian laughed heartily, and placed his hand on his shoulder, “Why are you so nervous? All I want to say is that the final success will be inseparable from the help of you adults. In the future, you will definitely benefit greatly. Now that the desert has been turned into a pot of porridge, I will make it as chaotic as possible! ”
“That’s right, the Anti-Rebel is rampant, the armies of the various countries are also guarding at the borders, ready to make their move, waiting for the comfort zone to fall into chaos and for the opportunity to grab a share.” Min Hanxiangbai said as well.
“Now that our country is in such a mess, the Emperor has been debauchery all day. He did not care about the lives of the commoners at all. Little Prince is currently afraid of Yan Guo, what can a brat like you do? “
