Chapter 43 Plotting Revenge
Huo Yuchen looked at the lush forests around him, feeling hesitant and worried.
Until this point, he had never doubted that the information Lin Pianran gave him was wrong or that she was deceiving him.
For some reason, he had an extreme trust in Lin Pianran.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no news from the Black Cloud Guards.
Huo Yuchen blew the whistle twice more, but received no response.
Baili Qingyun was somewhat discouraged and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, where did you get this information? Could it be wrong? It feels a little unreliable."
"No, I believe her." Huo Yuchen answered firmly.
Without a trace of hesitation.
Suddenly, a loud bird song came from the depths of the dense forest.
In just a moment, Huo Yuchen's face showed joy.
He picked up the whistle and continued to blow.
The birdsong in the deep forest continued to echo each other.
Huo Yuchen pointed to the front left, "In that direction, let's go over there quickly!"
At this time, a Black Cloud Guard came over to report, "Master, a group of people are following us, about 20 to 30 people."
Huo Yuchen's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent. "No matter who they are, kill them all!"
"Baili Qingyun, you must personally lead your men to deal with them. You must not expose the general's affairs."
Baili Qingyun put away his usual calm demeanor and took on a solemn expression. "Don't worry! I will intercept and kill these people and make sure they never return."
"Go find the general! We must make sure he's safe and sound, so our trip will be worthwhile."
Looking at Baili Qingyun and his men leaving, Huo Yuchen was not worried.
On the surface, Baili Qingyun looks like a modest gentleman, but his kung fu is as powerful as his medical skills, and ordinary people can't get close to him at all.
A silver needle in one hand and a soft sword in the other.
One hand heals, the other hand kills.
Few people can be his match.
Huo Yuchen led his men and walked a few dozen meters to the left and front, and finally saw a ragged man coming out from the depths of the bushes.
He was so thin that he was almost unrecognizable and his body was covered in dirt, but the heroic spirit in his eyes and eyebrows showed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing this face, Huo Yuchen excitedly stepped forward, quickly grabbed Wei Zixing who was about to kneel down and salute, and said happily, "Uncle, I finally found you!..."
Thousands of words are reduced to this one sentence.
Wei Zixing supported Huo Yuchen's hands, "Your Highness, you're here! But have you seen that girl Pianpian?"
"That's right." Huo Yuchen's face was full of joy.
"She's a good child. She worked so hard to rescue us from the cage in the cave."
"Before we parted, I asked her to contact His Highness, but I didn't expect His Highness to come so soon. I thought I would have to wait for at least several days!"
"We just went hunting nearby to prepare some food for the next few days. We can also make warm clothes from the animal fur."
"The four of them are still chasing their prey. It will take some time before they return."
After hearing this, Huo Yuchen also understood why Wei Zixing and the others had not responded yet.
He immediately took off his cloak and put it on Wei Zixing.
He comforted her in a gentle voice, "Uncle, you've worked so hard! You don't have to hide in the dense forest anymore. I can take you back immediately..."
He then ordered someone to fetch a set of Black Cloud Guard uniforms and handed them over. "Uncle, quickly find a place to put them on! You all can blend in with the Black Cloud Guards. No one will notice you, and you can return to the camp unnoticed."
Wei Zixing took the clothes, rushed into the surrounding dense forest, and soon came out with a different appearance.
He walked up to Huo Yuchen, patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion, "I thought I was going to die this time, and I had already made preparations for the worst. I didn't expect that there would be a silver lining after all, and I could actually escape death!"
"Uncle has survived this great disaster, so he will surely enjoy great fortune in the future. Father is also searching for you everywhere. It seems he doesn't want anything to happen to Uncle, so this incident is probably not his doing."
Wei Zixing, however, looked disappointed. "Even if it wasn't the emperor's intention, it was the result of his connivance."
"There are so many factions in the court right now, and many officials are on the side of Prince Duan and Prince Chang. Can't he see it?"
"I guess, even if this matter has nothing to do with the emperor, he must have guessed that it was related to the princes, but what did he do? He blocked the news and investigated privately. What's the point of this?"
"Look, Prince Chang hasn't shown any signs of restraint. He's just changed the place where he's hiding us a few more times."
"This cat-and-mouse drama between them is just ridiculous!"
"I believe that if the emperor really wants to pry open someone's mouth and find out the truth, it would be very easy."
"Even if he turns Yecheng upside down, it won't be just a show."
Wei Zixing was full of resentment when he spoke. This time he finally saw the true faces of the emperor and Prince Chang.
For so many years, he had risked his life on the battlefield to expand the territory, but ended up being abandoned after his achievements frightened his master.
It also broke his sincere and passionate heart.
Huo Yuchen understood his uncle's feelings very well.
"My father has sent people to search Yecheng all over the place. He has almost turned Yecheng upside down. He seems to attach great importance to my uncle."
"But the news of your disappearance for a month was strictly sealed, and not a single piece of information was allowed to leak out. This only further emboldened Prince Chang, making him even more fearless..."
"My father, the Emperor! He prides himself on being wise, but in some areas, he is hopelessly foolish!"
"He always thought he had the imperial power firmly in his hands, but he didn't know that the imperial power was slowly getting out of control."
"He hasn't truly seen the true colors of his favorite concubine and his sons. They are so ambitious, how could they be content to be under someone else's wing for long?"
"One day, my father will regret it!"
Wei Zixing's usual gentleness and courtesy were gone, and his eyes were filled with mystery.
"Since the Emperor wants to suppress the news, then we will do the opposite and spread the news that I have been missing for over a month. Let's see how Emperor Wu of Qin will react! Let's see how he can continue his hypocritical drama!"
Huo Yuchen thought about it and felt that this method was feasible. He had to stir up troubled waters in order to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to see the true faces of some people.
It will be easier to tell who is a human and who is a ghost.
Only by taking risky moves can you have more opportunities to take action.
Either you die or I die.
Let’s see who has the better move!
"Before, I could only search for my uncle in secret. Now that I've found him, there's nothing to worry about. I'll immediately have someone spread the news!"
