Chapter 189: Greetings
Although Ye Shuo was chatting with them, his thoughts had long since flown away.
I don’t know what that bastard senior brother Yao Zhi is talking to her. They haven’t finished talking even after such a long time.
“It’s over, it’s over. It looks like Xiaojiu is really screwed this time. He can’t leave that girl even for a moment.”
Hearing this, Ye Shuo was about to speak when he heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder.
The three of them changed their expressions, no longer caring about joking, and immediately turned their heads to look over.
As for Emperor Jingwen in the yard, he also raised his head after hearing the noise.
Looking at Huo Tianyi and the others, they all picked up their weapons and suddenly became alert.
With so many people here and if they come with bad intentions, this small valley may not be able to bear it.“Huh!” The second prince received news this morning that there was a family here. He immediately set off in the afternoon, trying to find his father’s whereabouts before everyone else.
Looking at the rows of houses in front of him that looked like a peaceful mountain village, the second prince’s heart paused. When he approached, he ignored the stone with the words “Medicine Man Valley” carved on it. He thought for a moment, then dismounted and walked forward.
“Excuse me, is there anyone here?”
After seeing the other party dismount, the group of people following him also rolled down in unison, their movements were so uniform that the faces of everyone in Yaoren Valley changed.
Suppressing her vigilance, the beautiful woman smiled and greeted him: “Excuse me, sir, what brings you to this little Medicine Man Valley?”
“I wonder if you have ever seen a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing and several young men?” A month has passed. If the younger brothers could have escaped, they should have done so long ago. No bodies have been salvaged from downstream, so the second prince judged that the men were most likely together.
The second prince was polite and had the demeanour of a noble young man.
Middle-aged man…young man…
I’m afraid the other party wasn’t talking about Gu Shuo and his group.
Just when the beautiful woman was feeling confused and uncertain, Ye Shuo heard a familiar voice and immediately wanted to go over.
However, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince on the side were quick to react. The Seventh Prince covered his mouth with his hand, while the Eighth Prince shook his head slightly at him.
I think these two people also know the Second Prince’s style. It is not certain whether the Second Prince came before everyone else for a good or bad thing.
The ninth brother has not been to the capital for a long time, so naturally he doesn’t know what has happened in the capital over the past two years. It is not a good thing that he trusts every one of his brothers so much.
The Eighth Prince and the Seventh Prince looked at each other and immediately saw the same emotion in each other’s eyes.
However, Ye Shuo was not too worried. There were so many people here, and all of them were masters. It would be extremely difficult to ensure their complete annihilation. If any of the Second Prince ran away, there would be a risk of being exposed. The Second Prince had always been cautious and would not do anything so straightforward.
Just as the Seventh and Eighth Princes were preparing to observe how the situation developed, the beautiful woman quickly figured it out in her mind.
If the other party has good intentions, then it won’t be a problem if you lie, as the other party will naturally know that you are doing good for the young people.
If it was malicious, then this lie could save their lives.
In a flash, the beautiful woman immediately came up with an idea in her mind: “What young man? There are no outsiders here.”
“lie!”
The second prince had just looked from a high place and saw that there were clothes and quilts drying in each of these courtyards, but only a few of them came out. There must be something fishy going on.
The second prince made a prompt decision: “Someone, come here! Check every room for me!”
Seeing that the other party was coming with such a fierce momentum, Lin Zhan thought that the other party was coming to seek revenge.
After all, he had been here for a day and had figured out that these people were injured and that was why they ended up here.
Coupled with the beautiful woman’s concealing attitude, Lin Zhan immediately misunderstood.
Although Huo Tianyi and his men are strong, they are old after all, and are no longer as notorious as the Tianyi Sword in the past. If a real conflict breaks out between the two sides, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose. Lin Zhan does not want to be implicated by Yao Zhi’s mistress.
If I can’t do it, then the two of them can’t do it either!
Seeing Yao Zhi’s incredible expression, Lin Zhan immediately jumped out: “Sir, the person you are looking for is here!”
Caught off guard, Ye Shuo and the other two exposed their position in an instant.
When the Second Prince looked in the direction of the voice, he saw the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, one covering his mouth and the other pressing someone.
Although he had some guesses in his mind before coming, when he saw that several people were full of life, the second prince couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
It’s not that I have any problem with these three people, but as long as they are alive, the probability of anything happening to my father is not high.
When Lin Zhan said this, the Seventh and Eighth Princes could no longer hide their anger. They immediately started to hate Lin Zhan. Afterwards, the two of them were no longer embarrassed. They stood up and bowed to the Second Prince: “Second Brother.”
The second prince knew why the two of them came here, and said with a half-smile: “I haven’t seen you for a month, and I didn’t know when you two brothers turned into mice.”
Ye Shuo also got up from the ground, cleared his throat, and called out, “Second Brother.”
Anyway, he doesn’t care about anything, so compared to others, the second prince naturally likes him much more.
The second prince’s expression softened slightly: “Ninth brother, long time no see, how are you these days?”
Ye Shuo thought for a moment and said, “It’s not bad. It’s freer than at home, but I have to worry about many things myself.”
“You are very honest.” The second prince laughed.
Seeing the two of them chatting like this, Lin Zhan on the side was immediately dumbfounded.
How could he, the two of them, be brothers?!
Yao Zhi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and when she looked at her senior brother who had grown up with her, in addition to disappointment, there was also undisguised disgust in her eyes.
She had never known before that Senior Brother Lin was such a person.
The second prince only spoke a few words to the three people and quickly got straight to the point: “Where is father now?”
“I’ll take you there right away.”
Ye Shuo and the other two led the way. When they arrived at the courtyard where Emperor Jingwen was, the door was not even opened yet, but the Second Prince knelt down with a thud.
“I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, father.”
The Seventh Prince paused when he saw this, but then quickly returned to normal.
Although the other party called him father, the words like “rescue” are worthy of people’s deep thought.
Huo Tianyi suddenly thought of the news he had heard in the past few days, which said that the current emperor was attacked on his way to the south and his whereabouts are unknown.
No normal person would have thought that the person they pulled out of the water was the emperor, and the same goes for Huo Tianyi.
Huo Tianyi didn’t know the list of people on the emperor’s southern tour. He was still guessing whether it would be the officials accompanying him. The result…
The door opened with a creaky sound. Before Emperor Jingwen could open his mouth, a loud whistle was heard in the valley at the same time.
It turned out that when Wu Yi and his men arrived near Ye Ling, they heard from people outside that the Second Prince had brought the local elite troops to rescue people.
Wu Yi didn’t dare to delay at all and followed him over.
The secret guard was very skilled, and with a few quick jumps, he was moving quickly towards Yaoren Valley. A group of black dots were seen from a distance, and in a short while, they were already in front of him.
What’s more, Wu Yi and his two men were each holding a struggling and miserable eagle. The eagle’s claws and wings were tied tightly with ropes, and its mouth was entangled with something. Ye Shuo then realised that it was no wonder that Zixiao did not return to the valley to report the news today. It turned out that he was captured by his cheap master.
Only after seeing Wu Yi and the others did Emperor Jingwen feel completely relieved.
When he saw Emperor Jingwen, Wu Yi knelt on one knee without hesitation and said, “I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me.”
Emperor Jingwen called for people to get up without much hesitation.
Emperor Jingwen originally wanted to ask what was going on outside, but when he turned around, he saw his son standing there stupidly. Looking at Yao Zhi and Lin Zhan again, Emperor Jingwen suddenly remembered the martial arts competition between the two.
Judging from the time, the two people should have finished their fight.
To be honest, Emperor Jingwen had little confidence in his son’s abilities, so naturally he thought that he had lost.
It was one thing that Emperor Jingwen looked down on Yao Zhi, but it was another thing entirely if the girl his son liked was snatched away by someone else.
Emperor Jingwen thought for a moment, then waved at Wu Yi and whispered something to him.
The Second Prince’s heart tightened suddenly upon seeing this. He thought that his father was so mysterious and must have something important to tell Wu Yi. The Second Prince almost instantly became extremely alert.
However, he didn’t expect that when his father finished speaking, he saw Wu Yi coming straight to the ninth prince.
Ye Shuo: “?”
Ye Shuo was confused, and then he saw his cheap master kneeling on one knee like he had just done to his cheap father, shouting, “Greetings to the Ninth Prince.”
As Wu Yi moved, the other secret guards followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, a large group of them knelt in front of him.
“Your servant pays respects to the Ninth Prince.”
Ye Shuo: “………………”
Help, help!!!
