Chapter 013: Red Face and Troubled Water
Tianjian City, the border city of the Ming Dynasty in Fengzhou.
"Huang Zheng, my uncle is visiting the City Lord in the City Lord's Mansion, and when they finish talking, we can return to Mangzhou."
On the way back to Heavenly Sword City, Savannah told Yan Heyuan that her friend was not in Heavenly Sword City, but in the family located in Mangzhou, and she needed Yan Heyuan to accompany her.
Although the road to Mangzhou and back to Yingzhou are opposite, there are spies in the family involved in framing him, for the sake of safety, before his strength is restored, Yan Heyuan does not plan to return to the family, so as not to be taken advantage of by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Since he chose to hibernate, Yan Heyuan naturally wouldn't let people know his true identity, so he showed people the name of the original owner of this physical body.
"Okay, anyway, I don't have anything else to do for the time being, so it doesn't hurt to go with you." Yan Heyuan rode on the back of the bound fox, stroked the soft fur of the bound fox cub sleeping in his arms, and said with a smile.
Yu Yuechi snorted coldly, and said in his heart that he could accompany Savannah, of course you are a hundred willing, and you are still pretending to be garlic here.
Thinking that Yan Heyuan was going to accompany Savannah back to her family, Yu Yuechi was very unhappy in his heart, and rode a horse to Savannah's side and proposed, "Savannah, I'm fine, why don't I go to the Blade house with you?" I can help you keep an eye on this kid, and if he can't cure your friend, I will never spare him. ”
Savannah smiled slightly and refused, "No need, I'm sure he can."
Hearing this, Yu Yuechi's heart was even more like overturning the vinegar altar, and his hatred for Yan Heyuan was even deeper.
At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a handsome boy dressed in white was pacing back and forth with a heavy heart, and from time to time he would look into the distance, depending on who he was waiting for.
At this time, Yan Heyuan and his entourage just turned the corner, and the man in white saw the snow-white shadow in the group who was riding on a horse and slowly approaching at a glance, and rushed down the steps excitedly, but fortunately, someone behind him reminded him, he realized that this was too reckless, and he lost his identity, tidied up his clothes, shook the folding fan gently, and quietly waited for everyone to approach with a self-proclaimed chic smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Sister Savannah, it turns out that you are here, it really makes me look for it for a while."
As soon as the group arrived outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, the man in white couldn't help it, and couldn't wait to come to Savannah's horse and hold the horse rope for her.
Yu Yuechi was already in a bad mood, but when he saw this strange man's dedication to Savannah, he was even more annoyed in his heart, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, so he stepped forward, raised his horsewhip and whipped it towards the man in white.
The man in white was focused on Savannah, there was no one else in his eyes, and he didn't notice that someone was sneaking up at all, and the servants behind him didn't expect that there were still people in this Ming Dynasty who dared to make a move on their master, and it was too late to rescue them with a stunned effort.
"Smack!"
A crisp whipping sound came, and a white light curtain erupted from the white-clothed man's body to resist the whip attack.
The defensive magic weapon on his body was triggered, and the man in white was slightly stunned, looking at Yu Yuechi in confusion.
At this time, the guards behind the white-clothed man finally reacted, and they swarmed up with ugly faces, and shot Yu Yuechi down the horse together.
Poor Yu Yuechi was knocked to the ground before he could even resist, and a stout man grabbed Yu Yuechi's arms and pressed him to the ground, a big foot stomped on his neck and made him unable to move.
Yu Yuechi never expected to be so humiliated at the door of his house, urging his true qi to resist, but he was firmly suppressed by the other party and couldn't move.
"Bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me? Are all the people dead? Don't kill them for me. ”
Yu Yuechi, who was trampled on his neck, was ashamed and angry, and let out a hysterical roar: "Zhuang Yi and Ye Kai, why don't you three come to help?"
Yu Yuechi's three doglegs wanted to come forward to help, but they were stopped by the three remaining guards of the white-clothed man with rune daggers and ordered them not to move.
Zhuang Yi had a hot temper and was about to make a move, but was grabbed by Ye Kai beside him.
Nan Dong saw the wind and steered the rudder, he never did that kind of thing, and seeing that Ye Kai didn't let Zhuang Yi do it, of course he wouldn't be the first bird.
Zhuang Yi looked at Ye Kai suspiciously: "What are you doing?" Didn't you see Yu Shao being bullied? ”
Ye Kai raised his eyebrows and pointed at the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, those guards saw that the young master was trampled under his feet but did nothing, they just looked at it at a loss, this move was too abnormal, and he dared to do it to Yu Yuechi mercilessly outside the City Lord's Mansion, the other party must have something, Ye Kai was shrewd, and he was unwilling to make a rash move before he found out the identity of the other party.
"Who are you? Can you know that this is Yu Yuechi, the son of the city lord of Yu, if you treat him like this, are you not afraid of the city lord's punishment? Ye Kai asked the other party tentatively.
The other party's face was like frost, and he scolded sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone is not allowed to act rashly, and there will be no forgiveness for violators."
The other party's tone was so loud that it was boundless, which also made Ye Kai and the others even more jealous.
Immediately afterwards, the strong man who suppressed Yu Yuechi said a sentence, which finally made everyone understand why they dared to do something to Yu Yuechi outside the City Lord's Mansion, and at the same time, it also made their palms cold......
I only heard the strong man turn his head and say to the man in white: "Prince, are you okay?" The lowly escort is not good, please punish the prince. ”
The prince finally came back to his senses, only then did he know that he had been attacked by this kid just now, and when he came to Yu Yuechi, he looked at him condescendingly and said, "You dare to do something to me?"
Yu Yuechi, who was in a rage, didn't hear the strong man's name to the man in white just now, he was already carried away by anger at this moment, and roared loudly: "If you dare to do this to me, my father will never let you go."
The prince had a playful sneer on his face: "Oh? I want to see what kind of explanation Yu Yunsu will give me. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Yu Yuechi is just an unintentional mistake, I don't know if you can let him go once for my sake."
At this time, Savannah had already dismounted and came to the crown prince to intercede for Yu Yuechi.
Yan Heyuan stroked the little fox with his hand and watched coldly.
The crown prince turned his head to look at Savannah, with a gentle smile on his face: "Well, since Savannah's sister intercedes for him, I naturally want to give you face, but if he makes a move on me, he is a bully, if he does not accept the punishment, where is the king's authority?" But for your sake, I only abolish his cultivation, so I should be a small punishment and a big commandment. ”
It wasn't until Savannah's voice calmed down his anger-filled heart a little, that Yu Yuechi figured out the current situation, it turned out that the whip he had just now was actually the current prince, hearing that the prince was going to abolish his own cultivation, Yu Yuechi was finally scared, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know your identity just now, you don't remember the villain, let me go."
With a gentle smile on his face, the prince said to Yu Yuechi: "I already want to abolish your cultivation for the sake of Savannah's face, otherwise it will not be too much to destroy you with what you do, do you think that the royal power can be easily trampled on?"
Seeing that the big man beside the prince had already pulled out the dagger at his waist, Yu Yuechi's face turned pale, and he made his last effort: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my ancestor has made meritorious contributions to the empire, please look at it for his sake......"
"Oh!" The prince seemed to be suddenly reminded by him, and suddenly realized: "Yes, Yu Lao has meritorious service to the kingdom, and I should indeed be more tolerant of his descendants."
Hearing the prince's words, Yu Yuechi's face looked a little better, and he said gratefully: "Thank you prince, thank you prince, the Yu family swears allegiance to His Royal Highness the prince."
The prince nodded with a smile and said to the commander of the guards: "Commander Wu, only one of his arms will be abolished as a punishment."
"Humble duty understands!"
Yu Yuechi suddenly heard that the prince was still going to abolish one of his arms, and horror appeared on his face again, but this time he had no chance to beg for mercy, and the commander of the guards had already raised his knife and cut off his entire right arm shoulder-to-shoulder.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Yu Yuechi, who lost his right arm, let out a terrible howl, but the prince's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Savannah gently: "Savannah, Senior Blade is still talking about things with Lord Yu City, why don't I take you to the city for a spin, I heard that the falling flowers and tears in Heavenly Sword City are a must, why don't we go and taste it?"
Savannah frowned slightly, glanced at Yu Yuechi, who was rolling on the ground with a broken arm, and had the intention to refuse the prince's invitation, but the prince was unquestionable and ordered the guards to prepare the car.
"Stop it all."
Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the City Lord's Mansion, and when everyone heard the voice, a sword rainbow had already fallen in the field, and it was Yu Yunsu, the Heavenly Sword City Lord.
"Son?"
Seeing Yu Yuechi rolling on the ground with his broken arm covered in his hand, Yu Yunsu's face became extremely ugly, just now he received a report from the guards, saying that the young master had attacked the prince at the door, he knew that the big thing was not good, and immediately turned into a sword rainbow and rushed outside the mansion, who knew that it was still a step too late, and his son had already had his arm cut off.
"Daddy, my hand...... My arm is missing......"
Seeing his father, Yu Yuechi excitedly grabbed his father's arm and wailed.
Yu Yuechi's face was ugly, and he stopped the bleeding for his son with a few points on his shoulder, ordered someone to pick up Yu Yuechi's broken arm, sent him back to the house, and hurried to ask for Dr. Hu.
The prince watched Yu Yunsu busy, and Yu Yuechi was carried away by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, so he said to Yu Yunsu lightly: "City Lord Yu, your son just made a move on Lone, and the Lone Man cut off one of his arms, do you have any complaints?"
When Yu Yunsu heard this, he immediately restrained his emotions, put on a panicked look, knelt down on one knee and said, "The dog collides with His Royal Highness, it is not a pity to die, the prince is benevolent, just cut off his arm, Weichen is grateful, how dare he have the slightest complaint." ”
The prince said with a smile: "City Lord Yu understands the righteousness, and he is very relieved, okay, Gu will accompany Sister Savannah to taste the specialties of your Heavenly Sword City, so I won't bother City Lord Yu."
Yu Yunsu said: "Okay, Weichen will arrange for someone to take the prince to Luohua Tower."
The prince bowed his hand and said, "No need, I'm just going out on patrol this time, I don't want to be too ostentatious."
"Yes."
Yu Yunsu Gong sent him off, and there was no expression on his lowered face.
"Sister Savannah, let's go." Prince Ming made a gesture of invitation to Savannah.
Savannah was about to refuse, but a voice came from the city lord's mansion first: "Wait." ”
Everyone looked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and a burly and majestic middle-aged man walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, came to Savannah's side and said, "Savannah, why are you running around again?" Next time, don't expect me to bring you out again. ”
Savannah said obediently: "Yes, Uncle Haoran, Savannah will go back now, and she will never run around in the future." ”
With that, Savannah turned around and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Prince Ming saw that Savannah was leaving, and wanted to stay, but was stopped by the blade without a trace.
Dao Feng Haoran looked at Prince Ming and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Savannah has been spoiled by the old man since she was a child, if there is anything that is not polite, please forgive the prince." ”
Prince Ming hurriedly said: "No, Sister Savannah is very good, there is nothing bad about etiquette." Mr. Blade, I want to take Sister Savannah to familiarize herself with the customs of Daming, I don't know ......"
Blade Haoran refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are going back to Mangzhou tomorrow, Savannah is weak, and she is already very tired from running around with me during this time, let her have a good rest today." ”
Prince Ming still wanted to fight for it, but when he saw Savannah who was running up the steps, he stopped again, and beckoned to Yan Heyuan: "Huang Zheng, why are you stunned, come in with me." ”
"Oh." Yan Heyuan, who had been watching coldly, nodded slightly, turned over and got off the back of the bound fox, walked towards Savannah, and ordered by the way when he passed by a city lord's palace guard: "Take care of my mount." ”
The guard didn't know Yan Heyuan's identity, but since he was a friend of the city lord's distinguished guest, and he came back with his young master, he agreed without hesitation.
Prince Ming looked at Yan Heyuan's back and asked Blade Haoran, "Mr. Blade, this is ......?"
Blade Haoran didn't know Yan Heyuan either, but he believed that Savannah would never bring a stranger back for no reason, and he could ask her later, now just help Savannah get rid of this haunting Ming Prince.
"I don't know. Then His Royal Highness the Prince, I will leave first if I have something to do. ”
Dao Feng Haoran's answer obviously did not satisfy the Ming prince, but Dao Feng Haoran was not a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and the family had a saint in charge, even if he was the prince of a country, he could not persecute a descendant of a saint for no reason.
"Prince, do you want Weichen to prepare a palace for you?" Yu Yunsu stepped forward to ask.
Prince Ming smiled and waved his hand: "No, you can accompany Mr. Blade." ”
Yu Yunsu was concerned about his son's injury, and he was not polite to the prince and said goodbye.
Looking at the people who disappeared at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion one by one, Prince Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he quickly reined in his fierce light, and his eyes fell on Ye Tian and the three of them who wanted to take the opportunity to slip away.
"Three, please stay ......"
Ye Tian's hearts froze, and there was a faint ominous premonition......
