Chapter 459: Reward Instead of Punishment
However, she soon thought of something.
"No, Brother Xiaojing, how did you know that I dealt with the Great Witch?"
It seemed that she had not yet told Ye Jingzhen about how she escaped.
Ye Jingzhen: "It was your second brother who sent the news. He and I have split up, and he is taking Miao Yi all the way south to chase after the Great Witch and his convoy."
At this point, Ye Jingzhen suddenly thought of something interesting. He turned his head to look at Yun Ran and said, "The news your second brother just sent me said that... the Great Witch is dead."
Yun Ran:?
Her eyes suddenly widened.
Dead? No way, she just pressed his acupoint, how could he die?
Seeing her like this, Ye Jingzhen stopped teasing her and told her the details.
After hearing this, Yun Ran felt both amused and helpless. This was indeed his second brother's style, but this great witch was also very miserable, simply too miserable.
The carriage was fast and steady, and soon drove into Kuizhou City.
Yun Ran seemed to remember something and was a little worried about Ye Jingzhen: "Is it okay for you to send me back?"
She was afraid that Ye Cangling would make things difficult for him.
Ye Jingzhen looked at her gently, "It's okay. Besides, there should be a happy event in your family tomorrow at the latest."
"Well... maybe I can also take advantage of it."
Yun Ran:?
She didn't understand what Ye Jingzhen meant for a moment.
How could there be any happy event? They had ruined Ye Cangling's plan this time and offended him thoroughly. It was a good thing that they were not punished. Where would the happy event come from?
But Ye Jingzhen didn't say much and sent her back to Shanhai Tower.
In Shanhai Tower, Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang, Yun Chengxi, Yibanlian, Chang Shu, July, September and a large group of people were waiting in the lobby, all looking anxious.
As soon as they saw the two people come in, everyone's face was filled with surprise, and Yun Chengxi's eyes were swollen like big peaches from crying.
Yin Qianlan has not eaten or slept since the night Yun Ran left, and has been waiting until now. When she saw Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen coming in from the gate, she stood up suddenly, felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Everyone surrounded Yun Ran and asked him questions worriedly. Ye Jingzhen stopped disturbing him, told Yun Ran to have a good rest, and left.
…
On the other side, Yun Chenglu, Miao Yi, and his team of men chased straight towards the border of Nanlin Kingdom.
They had not walked far when they saw a tall and thin man wrapped in a black robe limping out of the woods by the roadside.
When he saw them from afar, he turned around and ran away.
Yun Chenglu was originally focused on finding Yun Ran and had no intention of caring about him, but as he got closer, he felt that the figure looked more and more familiar, and suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be the Grand Master of Nanlin Kingdom.
Then I definitely won't let him go.
Yun Chenglu acted decisively, dismounted his horse, captured the great wizard, and forced him to tell him the whereabouts of Yun Ran.
Unfortunately, the Great Wizard had been mute and had not recovered yet. He could not say anything even though he gestured. Yun Chenglu thought he was playing a trick on him and punched him in the face.
He was extremely angry at the time and used too much force, so he killed the man with just one punch.
Since the person was smashed to death, naturally nothing can be found out.
Although Yun Chenglu was a bit confused, he could still guess that the Great Witch was alone on the roadside like this, and something must have happened to Nanlin's team. He was even more worried about Yun Ran's safety. (He had never thought that it was Yun Ran who did it.)
So he continued to chase with Miao Yima without stopping, and soon caught up with the Nanlin team that had set up camp on the border between Dakang Kingdom and Nanlin.
Yun Chenglu naturally showed no mercy and started a killing spree. In the end, he killed all the soldiers. After interrogating the two warriors, he learned that Yun Ran had kidnapped the witch and ran away.
After getting the information he wanted, Yun Chenglu naturally would not keep them alive and would kill the two warriors as well.
However, at this moment, the great wizard who had been killed by his punch finally ran back.
Yun Chenglu looked at the vigorous Great Wizard standing before him and felt a little confused. Wasn't he dead? How could he be alive again?
Most people might find it a little weird, but Yun Chenglu just thought that he failed to kill the wizard with one punch, and the wizard might have just fainted.
So he rushed forward and stabbed the witch's heart with a knife, killing him again.
After the killing, he quickly dealt with the two warriors, and then took Miao Yi and the remaining soldiers back.
Before leaving, he glanced at the body of the Great Wizard. This time he was shocked. It seemed that the wound on the Great Wizard's chest was healing, and he was breathing slightly.
Yun Chenglu didn't believe it, so he asked someone to drag the witch up. Along the way, he waited for the witch to fully recover before giving him a knife.
From the border to the capital, the great witch survived twice, but was stabbed to death by Yun Chenglu without mercy both times.
Finally, when they were about to enter the capital, he was still worried, so he simply asked someone to take the witch back to his house and lock him up. If he was still alive, he would continue to stab him.
Great Witch: ??? (He really died repeatedly)
Along the way, Miao Yi watched Yun Chenglu become more and more adept at stabbing the Great Wizard, and she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
She hated King Nanlin, hated the Great Witch, and actually hated the Snake Witch as well, but the Snake Witch was her brother.
Although this matter was for her own good, she really didn't want the snake wizard to do this.
It was not until they arrived in the capital that Yun Chenglu told Miao Yi with a somewhat grim expression: "Ran Ran is fine, the young prince Jing'an has already picked her up."
Miao Yi pursed her lips tightly, nodded without saying anything, and the moment she lowered her head, tears couldn't help but flow down.
Yun Chenglu's heart moved slightly, but he coughed and said coldly: "I have something else to do, so I will go back home first. You can do as you please."
Miao Yi didn't dare to follow him anymore. She wiped away her tears, raised her head, and forced a smile: "Brother Chenglu, you go. I have to go back to Nanlin too."
Yun Chenglu nodded lightly, said nothing more, and drove his horse into the city gate.
Seeing his grim expression, Cheng Shuo, the guard beside him, said cautiously, "Deputy General Yun, are you really not going to..."
Yun Chenglu grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance and said, "Go and follow her quietly until you are sure she is safe, then come back and report."
"Yes!" Cheng Shuo responded and turned his horse around to leave.
No words were spoken that night.
On the second day, almost the entire Dakang Kingdom knew that Yun Ran had been found.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the Yun family was promoted to higher positions and given higher titles overnight, and their fortunes soared to new heights.
In the imperial study inside the palace, Ye Cangling was so angry that his face turned purple, and his whole body was shaking so much that he couldn't even hold a pen.
But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and argue with himself as he wrote the imperial edict of reward.
Anji stood at the door with a bitter face, not daring to breathe.
He was not afraid of Ye Cangling who was competing with himself inside, but because, at this moment, the cold-faced killer was standing at the door of the imperial study.
Ye Jingzhen was wearing a thin black robe and standing straight outside the door. He had a cold expression on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but the murderous intent in his eyes was released without any concealment.
Anji's hand, gripping the whisk, trembled. "Young Prince, you...please be patient."
"Are you tired of standing? I'll get you a chair."
