Chapter 516 Nine Out of Ten
As soon as Xiao Shitou, Murong Bai and others arrived at the top of the mountain, they couldn't wait to start practicing.
"Brother, watch carefully!"
As he spoke, he leaped into the air and flew straight to the top of the tree. He shook the iron rod in his hand, and the blades on both ends shot out and danced on the treetops.
All the birds in the forest were startled and flew away in all directions, leaving Murong Bai nodding his head continuously.
"Yeah, not bad."
This kid is really good at practicing martial arts. He has made great progress recently. If he continues to practice at this rate, I estimate that it won’t be long before he can catch up with me.
It seemed that all this was thanks to General Cao, so he turned and looked at him.
"I'm sorry to trouble General Cao!"
Old Cao, who had been suppressing his emotions, completely lost control after hearing the prince's words.
"Your Highness, you are too kind!"
The past was still vivid in his mind. During the palace coup, the two young ladies were kidnapped. He signed a military order in front of the emperor, and he would not return until the two young ladies were found.
This search lasted for more than ten years, but the two young ladies were never found. He was too embarrassed to go back to see the emperor, so he had been wandering outside for more than ten years.
Now that I have seen the prince, I feel mixed emotions and don’t know what to say.
She was so excited that she was about to kneel down to Murong Bai, but was stopped by his eyes.
"Alas! General Cao, there is no need to do this."
While speaking, he glanced at the front again, at Xiao Shitou who was concentrating on practicing martial arts. His meaning was already very clear. It was not appropriate to make their relationship clear at the moment.
He was very excited when he saw General Cao. He was the most powerful general under his father and a hero he had always admired.
When I was a child, I often pestered him to teach me kung fu. Unexpectedly, due to a palace coup, we didn't see each other again for more than ten years.
Realizing what the prince meant, Old Cao stopped kneeling and calmed down.
Murong Bai also waved the folding fan in his hand again, calmed himself down, and looked at the small stone in the distance.
"How long has General Cao been here?"
I remember that I hadn't seen him the last time I came here. I guess General Cao came after me.
"Your Highness, it's a long story..."
Old Cao told the whole story of how Feng Er and the others had brought him here.
Finally, he seemed to remember something and looked at Murong Bai.
"When did the prince recognize the two young ladies?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the small stone in the distance again. He thought that the reason why the prince came here was probably the same as his.
"Well, I'm dissatisfied with General Cao. That's a long story..."
Murong Bai also told Mr. Cao how he met Qin Chuchu before.
The old man nodded continuously while listening, and at the same time he clenched his fists, anger rising in his heart.
I didn't expect that Han Mulei would dare to imprison the prince of their Beihan Kingdom. He must be tired of living.
"Then when does the prince plan to let the emperor meet the two young ladies?"
He looked at the prince in front of him and heard the two young ladies calling him sworn brother all the time, so he thought that they didn't know the inside story.
“…………”Murong Bai didn’t say a word.
After a long time, he looked at General Cao in front of him.
"General Cao also thinks they are my brothers and sisters-in-law?"
"Nine out of ten."
Old Cao looked at Murong Bai, his eyes full of determination.
From the moment he saw the two young ladies, he was certain that they were the two young ladies who were kidnapped that year. Not only did they look very similar to the prince.
Especially that girl, she looks exactly like the deceased queen.
Seeing the determination in General Cao's eyes, Murong Bai frowned.
"But I have already sent people to investigate many times, and that girl is indeed the daughter of Prime Minister Qin's ex-wife."
The last time he returned to the country, he sent people to investigate again. The girl was the daughter of Prime Minister Qin's ex-husband.
This is also the reason why I have been reluctant to recognize them.
Because they were not sure, they were not allowed to see the emperor. After all, the old man was old and could not bear the blow.
He already felt very guilty about what happened back then. If the old things were brought up again, and if it wasn't his lost brother and sister, he was really afraid that his father wouldn't be able to bear it.
“…………” Mr. Cao didn’t say anything.
He also knew the prince's thoughts, and he felt the same way. If there was evidence to prove the identities of the two young ladies, he would have brought them to the emperor long ago.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Murong Bai in front of him.
"What is the prince's plan?"
"Let's put this matter aside for now. I will continue to investigate this matter."
Murong Bai took another look at the small stone in the distance. Since there was no conclusive evidence, he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
Once I have solid evidence, I will bring them before my father.
As if he remembered something, he turned to look at Mr. Cao beside him.
"General Cao, please stay here and protect them."
Hearing the prince say this, General Cao hurriedly bowed.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. It was my fault that I failed to find the two young ladies back then. Now I will do my utmost to protect them."
His voice trembled a little when he spoke. He remembered that he had broken his promise to the emperor and felt very guilty.
Looking at General Cao with a haggard face in front of him, Murong Bai frowned slightly, thinking that he must have had a hard time in recent years.
"General Cao, don't worry too much about this matter. Thank you for your hard work over the years."
“…………”Mr. Cao.
After hearing Murong Bai's words, he felt that all the hard work and grievances over the years were worth it, and tears welled up in his cloudy old eyes.
Her lips were trembling violently. If she hadn't been concerned about the occasion, she would have knelt down to express her gratitude to the prince.
Just as they were trying to suppress their excitement, they heard sparse voices beside their ears.
“…………”The two turned around.
They all looked towards the bushes behind them, then glanced at each other.
Mr. Cao, who was originally very excited, restrained his emotions and replaced them with a look of disgust.
"Come out, your man is not here!"
Looking through the bushes at the furtive figure, I knew it was the girl.
After hearing Mr. Cao's voice, Qin Chuchu finally came out from behind the bushes with peace of mind, grinning.
"Hey, it's good that you're not here!"
I was afraid that the living devil was here, and it would be bad if he caught me.
Seeing that he was not there, she felt relieved and ran over with the corn in her hand.
"Brother, this is sticky corn. Come and try it. It's delicious."
Murong Bai was looking at the corn handed over by the girl. He was originally in a very depressed mood, but when he saw her sneaky look, he couldn't help laughing.
"Are you really that afraid of Han Muchen?"
As he spoke, he took the corn from her hand and looked at her teasingly.
I really admire this girl. She is fearless and even dares to go into Han Mulei's dungeon.
But when he saw Han Muchen, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, completely timid and brought shame to Beihan Country.
After saying that, he took a bite of the corn. He didn't care at first, but as soon as the sticky corn entered his mouth, his brows frowned.
He no longer had the mood to joke, and stared straight at the corn in his hand, then looked at Qin Chuchu in front of him.
“This is sticky corn!”
