Chapter 14: Departure
The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the entire palace of the Purple Dragon Kingdom, making the golden and brilliant palaces add a trace of red in vain, looking mysterious and abnormal.
And in an inn not far from the Purple Dragon Palace, at this time, the six princes, Han Yong, and the three Gu Yan guards sent by the Purple Dragon King to protect the six princes were sitting on a table, and there were several plates of dishes, three wine glasses, and a pot of wine on the table.
Looking at the sky outside that was gradually darkening, Han Yong, who was dressed in a gray shirt, picked up the glass of wine placed in front of him, tilted his head, drank the glass of wine into his stomach, put down the empty wine glass in his hand, Han Yong said in a slightly heavy tone: "I'm leaving here again, I just don't know how long it will take to leave this time!"
Although Han Yong was the uncle of the Six Princes, because the mother of the Six Princes was killed, he was also transferred by the Purple Dragon King from the general who guarded the Imperial City to the border of the Purple Dragon Kingdom to guard the Purple Dragon Kingdom.
According to the words of the Purple Dragon King, he was afraid that the other party would still attack Han Yong, so he transferred him out, while the Six Princes lived in the Condensing Frost Palace and were protected by the masters of the Purple Dragon King's faction.
It is precisely because of this that it has been several years since Han Yong left the Purple Dragon Palace, if it weren't for the health problems of the sixth prince and the request of the Purple Dragon King to transfer him back, it is estimated that the current Han Yong is still stationed at the border, and he would not be so emotional.
However, for Han Yong, who is stationed at the border, these years are enough for him to attract talents and capture people's hearts, after all, the current Purple Dragon Kingdom is very powerful, and ordinary countries or sect families will not easily offend the Purple Dragon Kingdom, which also makes Han Yong, who is on the border, save a lot of heart, and devote his mind to developing his own power.
Ordinary sect families are not the object of Han Yong's encirclement, after all, those people in the sect family are not short of their cultivation resources, and for those who are lone rangers, loose cultivators, and have strong strength, they are the objects that Han Yong is looking for, these people are very eager for cultivation resources, and if they rely on their own strength, the chance of obtaining resources will be much smaller, and if they rely on Han Yong's forces, it will be much easier, therefore, over the years, Han Yong has gathered a lot of strong people to help him.
For what Han Yong wants them to do, those who join Han Yong's forces understand it, so they are also willing to help Han Yong, after all, the forces that can help Han Yong deal with are not those that cannot be provoked, and the key is that Han Yong's provision of their cultivation resources is deeply in their hearts, except for Han Yong's request for their help and revenge, they are not required to do anything else, nor will they interfere with them to do other things, which makes them even more satisfied, and the two sides are happy to cooperate.
Hearing Han Yong's emotion, the purple-shirted young man Sixth Prince, who was sitting on Han Yong's side, followed Han Yong's appearance and drank the wine in front of him into his stomach, and suddenly, a spicy and dizzy feeling surged into the head of the Sixth Prince, however, he didn't care about the reaction of his body after drinking the wine, he just paused for a moment, and then said in a firm tone in the direction of Han Yong: " Uncle, it doesn't matter how long it takes to come back this time, but once we come back, we have to do something, or our opponents will laugh at us!"
Hearing the words of the Sixth Prince, and then glancing at the sneer on his face, Han Yong felt a trace of coldness in the air around him for a moment, and his heart instantly froze.
Han Yong himself didn't expect that a simple sentence of emotion would make his nephew react so much in his heart, however, now the strength on his side is not enough, he can't make a rash move, he must wait until he is fully prepared, otherwise, he and the others will still face the road of destruction, and he must not destroy the preparations for many years with a momentary will, impulsive actions will not solve the problem, and he will also put himself in danger, thinking of this, Han Yong looked at the six princes, and said in a slow tone: "Feng'er, you have to protect yourself first!"
Han Yong's words warmed the hearts of the six princes, and he knew that Han Yong did not say this to stop him, but to remind him that it was okay to do it, but in the process of doing it, his own safety was the most important, otherwise, revenge would become an empty talk.
Thinking of this, the sixth prince looked at the direction where Han Yong was sitting, and said in a solemn tone: "Uncle, I have made a note, before I take revenge, I will take good care of my little life!"
Seeing the serious appearance of the six princes, Han Yong couldn't help but nod secretly, his nephew had not yet reached the moment of arrogance, therefore, for what the six princes said, Han Yong just waved his hand, and then readily believed the words of the six princes, after all, in Han Yong's eyes at this time, the six princes were very calm in doing things, and there was no need to worry too much about what impulsive things he did.
"Escort Gu Yan, when are we leaving?"
Ending the conversation with Han Yong, the six princes looked sideways at the black-clothed Gu Yan who was sitting on the side holding a wine glass, as for the topic of his conversation with Han Yong, the six princes didn't care about Gu Yan at all and listened to it, since the Purple Dragon King asked him to protect himself, then, at least he is a person who can keep his secret, and besides, in the future, everyone will go to the Thousand Demon Cave Mansion together, doubt the people around him, do things, and avoid him when he talks, which is something that the six princes can't do, he would rather believe him, and maybe change his attitude towards himself.
"According to the king's idea, we can set off before the gates are closed, and now is the time!"
Hearing the Sixth Prince's inquiry, the Gu Yan guard paused for a moment, and then said with a solemn expression.
Several of the six princes are going to the Thousand Demon Cave Mansion, this matter is kept secret in the Purple Dragon Palace, after all, the murderer who killed the mother of the six princes is still in the palace, if the other party knows that the six princes have left the palace, then what awaits will be the continuous interception and killing on the way, therefore, except for a few people who know, the six princes will be secretly blocked from the palace This trip will be secretly blocked.
In the same way, the six princes disguised themselves as ordinary people and walked out of the palace, and then came to this inn, after arriving here, they did not leave immediately, but waited for it to get dark, at that time, the possibility of them going out again to be found was much lower.
And to leave, the first thing they have to do is to walk out of the Purple Dragon City, which guards the palace, which is why the Six Princes came to this inn, after all, for the inn, there are many people coming and going, so they can plan here and mix up the Purple Dragon City, which is not very far from the inn.
The sky gradually became darker, and the gate of Purple Dragon City in the Purple Dragon Kingdom was about to close, and the three of the six princes at this time had also come to the city gate, after the three of them glanced at each other, Gu Yan slowly walked towards the direction of the city gate, and when they arrived at the city gate, Gu Yan took out a few pieces of shiny Xuanjing and threw them to the guards guarding the city, and under the joy of the faces of the city guards, the three of them went out of the city gate smoothly, and continued to walk forward for about half an hour, before the three of them stopped and rested slightly.
In that inn, Han Yong suggested that this time out of the gate of the Purple Dragon City, let Gu Yan take the lead, the reason is that Han Yong himself was the guard general of the Imperial City, and there are many people who know him, in case he is recognized by others, then the situation is not very good, and the same is true for the Six Princes, as the prince of the Purple Dragon Kingdom, there are definitely many people who know him, therefore, this time Gu Yan must be allowed to open the way, even if Han Yong and the Six Princes have never seen Gu Yan before, it can be seen how deep his secrecy is, such a person, even in the palace, may not be able to find out how many people know him, let alone the guards guarding the Imperial Cityใ
This time, the six princes want to leave the palace and not be seen by others, otherwise, they may not have reached the Thousand Demon Cave Mansion and their lives will be gone, so during this period, everything should be careful.
And when he got out of Purple Dragon City, the sixth prince breathed a long sigh of relief, for so many years, he had not been out of the palace, this time, he had to feel this mysterious "outside world" that was different from the palace.
"Gu Yan, now that we have left Purple Dragon City, what should we do next?"
Because he will have to get along with Gu Yan's guards for a period of time in the future, the six princes will directly call each other Gu Yan instead of Gu Yan's guards in their titles, so that they can also avoid unnecessary suspicion caused by others when they hear their titles, and at the same time, he also asked Gu Yan and Han Yong to call him Han Feng, so that others will not have much doubt about the identity of their group of three, and their safety is relatively guaranteed.
"It's getting late today, if you want to hurry again, some unnecessary trouble may occur, so let's find a quiet place, rest for the night and move on!"
Regarding the words of the six princes, Gu Yan thought about it for a while and said softly.
It stands to reason that Gu Yan is only acting as a task to protect the safety of the six princes, but at this time, for the six princes who have never been out of the palace and Han Yong, who has been stationed outside all the year round and has never spent the night alone, he has become the backbone of the three.
"Okay, according to your wishes, let's find a place to rest for the night before we go!"
Hearing Gu Yan's suggestion, the Sixth Prince nodded directly and said.
Even if he wanted to oppose Gu Yan's suggestion, he didn't know how to oppose it, and in the desolate woods, he couldn't even understand the direction, let alone make any suggestions.
Then, the figures of the three princes disappeared into the woods.
