Tough Wife Rules - C265

“Helian Qingyu!”

“Qing Yu …”

The Wolf King and the third prince exclaimed in unison. The only difference was that the third prince’s voice contained hatred and surprise, loss and fear.

He grabbed towards Helian Manqiu, but did not manage to grab a single strand of Helian Manqiu’s clothes. Watching Helian Manqiu fall into the cold river, he could not help but feel extreme regret, and inwardly resented that he should not have forced her into such a tight corner.

He stepped to the side of the ship and screamed out loud. Without any hesitation, he turned around and jumped towards the cold river.

The Third Prince’s expression was vicious as he raised the blade in his hand and chopped towards the mirror like a bolt of lightning. Everything happened within a few seconds, less than when the mirror lost its focus, and he didn’t notice the third prince making a move against him.

It was too late when the saber light seeped into his body.

He bent over and placed his shoulder on the third prince’s blade, then hastily raised the blade in his hand.

“Puff …”

The chill of the blade entering his body was so sharp that it made Yu Di’s body tremble. His body quickly fell towards the cold river and the blade in his hand finally raised up, blocking the blade from the third prince’s attack.

Third Prince grabbed the rope with one hand and hung himself in the air beside the ship’s railings, his feet almost touching the surface of the river, as he reluctantly withdrew the knife in his hand.

He did not know how to swim, but he did not dare to jump off the cold river to chase after the Wolf King.

Suddenly, his hands felt light as the rope was chopped off. He landed in the river and raised his head to look. A pair of cold eyes stared at him.

“Men, those who know water well, go down and bring back the King, track down Uncle Zhenbei, and kill the third prince!”

“Yes.”

Many people jumped into the river. The third prince held his breath and stabbed his knife into the side of the boat to prevent himself from being carried away by the torrent.

On the boat, it was a complete mess. The people that were less than the mirror stage were fighting against each other.

“Hezhe, this is useless for both of us. Both the Wolf King and the Third Prince have fallen into the cold river, so why don’t we stop here and ask for help from the Wolf King and the Third Prince? How about we capture Northern Bo and King Lu?”

He Zhe looked coldly at the other, his gaze rippling with a few sneers. “My King is familiar with the waters, there’s no need to worry. Since I can’t invite King Lu and Uncle Bei to come today, it wouldn’t be a waste to invite the third prince to be our guest!”

After speaking, He Zhe waved his hands as another intense battle broke out.

Helian Manqiu fell into the water and followed the torrent. The medicinal strength of her soft tendon had yet to completely dissipate. She could only barely control her balance and borrowed the flow of the water to carry her away.

She knew how to swim. If the effects of the medicine were to disappear, it would not be difficult for her to escape from the river, but it was difficult for the medicine to remain in her body.

“…”

A few eagles pierced the clouds and darkness, and a few fell from the sky and circled above the cold river, as if searching for something.

Helian Manqiu gave a bitter smile. In the end, she was still forced to accept the loss of the King of Law’s face.

Fortunately, King of Law’s advisor secretly disobeyed King of Law’s orders and did not kill some of her personal guards. Otherwise, her heart would be even more uneasy.

Raising her hand, she took out a piece of cloth that emitted a glow in the dark night. She used a special coating on the cloth, allowing it to emit a fluorescent light in the dark, summoning a messenger eagle.

The messenger eagle gradually descended and circled around her. It then spread its wings and flew high into the sky. She knew that the messenger eagle was heading towards her master to report her location.

She did not know who had released these messenger eagles, but she could tell that there were her messenger eagles, as well as some of Gan Qixuan’s messenger eagles, or even some of the fresh and inferior people.

His body was immersed in the ice-cold water. Fortunately, it was midsummer, or else he would definitely have a cramp. Green flames once again soared into the sky. Helian Manqiu could not help but smile. Those green flames were sent out by her subordinates, indicating a safe location.

However, she did not have the strength to approach that direction. She could only control her body’s balance and quietly wait for the medicinal effects to pass.

After obtaining the items confiscated by the Law King, he found the medicine to consume, but it would take him some time to fully recover.

There were still two messenger eagles circling above her, guiding her. Helian Manqiu raised her hand and threw a piece of cloth that was emitting a glow towards the messenger eagle. The messenger eagle picked up the piece of cloth and began circling her body. The strip of cloth kept emitting a fluorescent light, indicating her position.

Suddenly, a torch flashed in the distance, drawing one strange symbol after another, approaching her position. Helian Manqiu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. Her subordinates had arrived.

Several small boats were flying toward her. Someone called out softly, “Qingyu, Qingyu, how are you?”

The boat quickly approached and Chen Yuyang personally brought people to search for her. Seeing her lying on the surface of the cold river, he hastily threw out the rope, and Helian Manqiu grabbed the rope, hanging it from her waist.

Chen Yu Yang and the rest hastily pulled Helian Manqiu onto the boat. Helian Manqiu’s clothes were completely soaked by the water. She bent her knees and hugged the boat as she sat on the boat.

Chen Yu Yang quickly took off his outer robe and draped it over Helian Manqiu’s body as he knelt on one knee: “Uncle, this general came late to welcome you. I beg you to bestow punishment upon me.”

“Uncle Chen, I …” “So tired, let me rest for a while!”

He leaned against Chen Yuyang, who hastily put his arm around Helian Manqiu’s shoulder and coldly said, “Go back as fast as you can. You’re all unable to turn back?”

“Yes.”

The people on the boat all turned their heads away. They didn’t dare to look back at Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu leaned against Chen Yuyang’s chest and slightly trembled. The night was cold, and she began to cramp. All the aches and sores in her body began to tremble.

He reached out his hand to help Helian Manqiu relax her legs and arms. He had the intention of taking off the wet clothes from Helian Manqiu’s body and changing them into clean clothes, but there were too many people around him to do so.

He could only use his internal energy to rejuvenate Helian Manqiu’s blood. He inserted the silver needle into her acupoints and fed the pill to her.

“Brother Lu, you’ve arrived as well.”

“Don’t talk, take a good rest. It’s just a cramp.”

“I’ve been afflicted with the Soft Muscle Powder, and the medicinal effects have not completely disappeared.”

“No problem, I’ll give you the Comprehension Medicine. You’ll be able to recover in a moment.”

The boat quickly approached the ship. Helian Manqiu leaned against Chen Yuyang’s warm chest. Chen Yuyang embraced Helian Manqiu and warmed her with his own body heat.

“Master’s people have arrived, right?”

“Master is going to personally visit the cold river!”

Helian Manqiu was startled. She looked towards the far away Han River and asked, “Gongyue Xuan came here personally?”

“Yes, my lord is overseeing a large ship not too far away. The personal guards that were drugged by King Lu were also rescued by my lord. These hidden guards were sent by my lord to follow my back and protect my lord.”

On a small boat beside them, a black shadow silently stood there in the darkness, his back facing Helian Manqiu without saying a word.

“Did Gan Yuxuan send out his guard?”

“Yes, they were the first to discover traces of uncle’s fall into the water, inform me that you’ve come.”

Helian Manqiu pursed her lips. So that was how it was. No wonder she had the feeling that someone was secretly following her all the way. It turned out that it was a secret guard sent by Gan Yuxuan who was following her from behind.

After getting on the ship, Chen Yu Yang personally carried Helian Manqiu into the cabin to bathe and change clothes. After soaking her body in hot water, she suddenly felt relaxed, so she didn’t dare to waste too much time.

Chen Yu Yang and Lu Ke Yu both stood outside the door. The black shadow also stood in the shadows at the corner not far away, only revealing a pair of eyes looking at her.

“Is there any news from King Lu?”

“Reporting to uncle, there has been no news.”

Helian Manqiu’s gaze fell on the black shadow. The black shadow took a few steps forward and bowed: “This humble servant pays his respects to the Senior. Has the Senior Master recovered?”

“Does Master have any orders?”

“No, the lord has heard that the lord is safe and sound and has left. He has ordered the lord to escort the lord safely to the pass.”

“He left …”

Helian Manqiu softly said and let out a long breath. If that person didn’t leave, she didn’t know how to face him.

This time, it could be considered as betraying him. To do such a thing for the King of Law, who knew what kind of uproar it would cause. She understood that it was impossible to conceal the fact that she’d gone to meet with King Lu privately and protected him all the way to Han Jiang.

Returning to his room, Chen Yu Yang whispered into Helian Manqiu’s ear. She had rushed over to meet the Law King in private that night, and had escorted him all the way to the Han River. This had caused a huge uproar in the imperial court.

It was just that in a short time, the Crown Prince didn’t say anything. He also didn’t say anything about it.

The Law King colluded with foreign races to betray the Great Hengkong, and he committed a heinous crime of betraying the country.

“Qing Yu, you are now impeached for colluding with traitors against your country. You are having an affair with someone from another country, and you have malicious intentions. The wolf’s ambition cannot be forgiven.”

“Understood, let’s return to the city first. What news does the imperial government have?”

“No, the Crown Prince didn’t say a word about this. His Majesty is still bedridden and disregarding the imperial government.” I thought that Qing Yu was worried about my lord and that my lord’s intentions could not be understood. ”

“Duan Jeyan has arrived at the north of the Han River. Do you know about this?”

“Yes, this lowly general knows. Qingyu will rest for a while and then return to the city to talk about other things.”

Chen Yu Yang didn’t say anything more, nor did he ask Helian Manqiu why she treated the Law King like that and tried her best to help him escape danger.

“Is Duke Ming still in custody?”

“Yes, he is still being held in custody. The Lord has not given any orders, and Duke Ming has requested to see you several times.”

“What did he want to see me about?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps King Ming knows a bit about the Law King as well as the events of the past few days.”

“Oh, he can still communicate with the outside world?”

“Yes, the general has sent people to find out that someone used a bird and a king to send a secret message, but now it is impossible.”

Looking at the heavily guarded courtyard, where not even a fly could fly in, Duke Ming could not help but slightly sigh. It was impossible to communicate with the outside world now!

“Uncle, why are you so generous to the Discipline King?” What was so good about Mo Bai? “Can you protect him like this, even though you’ve won against your lord’s responsibility to betray the country and commit such a great crime?”
