Li Yu stayed in the river, which was safe for the time being, but he couldn't just wait for King Jing to rescue
him. If the bandits wanted to deal with him, it would be too late. At least this time, it was confirmed that Dabao and his men were not in the hands of the bandits. The bandits caught him, but they didn't know his identity, so they couldn't use him to threaten King Jing. This was a blessing in disguise.
Li Yu kept comforting himself, forcing himself to calm down and think more about the current situation.
Of course he wanted to escape, but the fish man was only agile, so why not take the opportunity to escape when the bandits weren't paying attention?
Just as he was thinking, a bandit came over, and Li Yu quickly hid in the water.
The bandit saw his figure, cursed a few words, and reached out to grab Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't want to be caught, so he kicked the bandit hard and kicked his arm.
The bandit was hit unexpectedly and flew into a rage, pulling out the sharp blade he carried with him.
Li Yu immediately regretted not taking a weapon with him before leaving the house, because he was too concerned and didn't expect to be caught by the bandits, and because he was a fishman, he couldn't catch them at all.
If only he had a tail...
He never expected to have a fish tail so much, his legs were still a little weaker than a fish tail, and although the fish scales on his upper body were a kind of protection, he was not sure if he could withstand a hard knife, and his short fish fins were not enough to slap people.
Thinking of this, his body changed again at the critical moment. He was originally in the form of a fishman, but his lower body suddenly became lighter, as if he felt the tail floating.
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu shook it lightly to confirm that his feeling was correct. The tail did emerge. Before, the fishman or mermaid could maintain it for a whole day. I didn't expect that on the third day of the mission,
the rhythm would change... randomly! I came just in
time. Let's deal with the bandit in front of me first!
The bandit slashed at Li Yu with a knife. Li Yu flexibly hid in the water. When the bandit couldn't catch him, he rushed into the water angrily. Li Yu deliberately used the tail in the dark to tangle the bandit, and the bandit fell into the water.
Before he could get up, the fish tail was raised high and hit the bandit's forehead. The bandit didn't even have time to scream and was knocked unconscious.
Li Yu quickly dragged the fainted bandit behind the stone.
If there is another single bandit coming, he can handle it in the same way, but if several come at once, he is only a fish after all, and he may not be able to do it.
Moreover, the tail can knock the bandit unconscious, but it cannot escape quickly, so he still has to escape as his goal.
Wait, Li Yu just thought about the benefits of legs for a moment, and found that his body changed again in the next moment. His fish tail turned into human legs again.
Li Yu: “…………”
It’s not that frequent, right?
When Li Yu calmed down, he was still quite smart. He
began to summarize every change of this day.
The first time he turned into a fish-man was when he was eager to run out of the house to see if it was Dabao.
The second time he turned into a mermaid was when he wanted to beat the bandits badly.
Just now, he wanted to run away with his legs again, and the third time he turned into a fish-man.
Could it be that he can change as he pleases on the last day?
Then he - wanted to become a human!
Li Yu waited for a long time, but there was no movement. The fish fins were still fat and short, and he couldn't grab or hold them.
Li Yu guessed that he was wrong. When he first did the task, he secretly tried the skill of turning into a human, but it was useless. The system that pit fishes banned the skill, so it wouldn't let him turn back into a human easily in this way, right?
... If he can't turn into a whole person, then can he turn into a whole fish?
This time, he just thought about it casually, and suddenly his vision became lower and his body became shorter.
Li Yu: !!!
It seems that it is not feasible to turn into a fish casually, because he really turned back into a whole fish.
Li Yu couldn't believe it. The fish shape was still the original size. The cloth strips used to cover his body fell off and were easily thrown off by him.
Turning into fish is exactly the easiest way to deal with it. Li Yu hid in the water plants and looked at the bandits coldly.
No matter what, these bandits would never think that the hostages had turned into fish and hid. They would only think that the hostages had secretly escaped.
The bandits made a commotion for a while, and when they saw that the brother who had been playing with the hostages before had not moved for a long time, they came over to investigate.
They saw a man lying in the stream. The towels on the hostages were still there, but there was no trace of the man.
"What's going on? Where is the man?!"
An angry bandit pulled the man who had fainted up and slapped him several times.
The fainted bandit woke up with a dazed look in his eyes. It was obvious that he had not seen anything when he was knocked unconscious by the fish's tail.
"What are you still doing? Chase him!"
Someone shouted, and the bandits rushed out to look for the hostages.
Li Yu held his breath and waited for a while.
A bandit with his face covered did not go with the other bandits, but walked to the river alone. He looked for a while but did not see anything.
The bandit did not give up, and squatted down to scoop in the river.
Li Yu tried his best to avoid his hand, and glanced at it inadvertently. He found that there was a scar on the man's hand, which looked like an animal's tooth mark.
The man did not catch anything and was about to stand up. There was a noisy voice outside the ruined temple.
Several bandits who had run out before retreated and shouted in panic: "Military advisor, it's bad, King Jing is coming to kill us!"
It turned out that this man was the military advisor. Moreover, Li Yu shook his tail excitedly, his prince came so quickly, and finally came to save him!
As soon as he finished speaking, King Jing, covered in blood, rushed into the broken temple. A bandit stepped forward with a knife in hand, but was killed by King Jing with a single blow.
King Jing was full of murderous intent, and his eyes were terrifying. He would chop down anyone who
stood in his way, and the bandits fell to the ground in an instant. The only bandit left standing was a military advisor.
The military advisor slowly raised his hand, and Li Yu thought he was going to surrender, but the military advisor threw a firework at him at lightning speed!
Your Highness, be careful!
Li Yu was extremely anxious, because the smoke from the firework would dazzle people. He had suffered losses before, and was afraid that King Jing would be fooled.
Fortunately, King Jing reacted very quickly, and with a long sword, he kicked the firework far away.
The military advisor drew his sword and stepped forward to fight with King Jing. King Jing had been fighting for a while, but he could not get the upper hand for a while. Li Yu was very anxious. Why didn't King Jing bring his guards to rescue people?
The military advisor blocked King Jing's sword with his sword, got closer, and threw another bag of white powder at King Jing.
This idiot is so shameless!
Li Yu was so anxious that he wanted to turn into a fishman, rush over and kill this shameless guy head-on.
King Jing's body swayed, and he raised his hands to cover his eyes. This time it seemed that he had fallen into a trap.
The military advisor snorted and laughed twice, knocking away King Jing's sword, and then made a very strange move, trying to stab King Jing's calf. However, King Jing, who should not see anything, changed his body shape, dodged neatly, went around the military advisor, pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed it into the military advisor's back.
This series of actions was fast, fierce and accurate, and was completed in one go. The military advisor's conspiracy and attempt to stab King Jing's leg, King Jing's dodging and counterattack, were all completed in a flash.
"You, you didn't..."
The military advisor met King Jing's dark eyes and suddenly came to his senses, but before he could finish his words, King Jing turned the dagger and sent him to the west.
Li Yu had turned into a fishman again, stood up from the river, and rushed over like a cannonball to save the old attacker.
However, when he found out that King Jing was fine and had killed the military advisor, Li Yu: "..."
King Jing also found him, pursed his lips, and strode towards him, walking faster and faster.
Your Highness...
Li Yu closed his eyes subconsciously.
He didn't kill the bandits because he was afraid that King Jing would be angry with him.
Because he left the secret house on impulse, King Jing must have had a hard time looking for him. When he
first saw him just now, he found that King Jing's face was pale, his eyes were red, and he looked very angry.
King Jing had never hit him before, but this time, he also knew that he had gone too far.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry..."
Li Yu knew that he had done something wrong, and turned into a talking mermaid again, wanting to apologize in person.
But it was too difficult to stand with his fish tail, and he was not used to it, and almost fell to the ground.
No matter how he changed, he didn't get the effect, and Li Yu himself felt wronged.
King Jing reached out his hand, helped him up, and then hugged him recklessly.
Li Yu leaned on his shoulder, sniffed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left..."
But he really couldn't pretend that the baby's cry didn't exist. He was already a father, and it was a father's instinct to protect his children. Even though he knew rationally that he should trust King Jing, and knew that this was most likely a bandit's plan, he still couldn't let it go. Sometimes, reason can't control emotions.
King Jing and the four treasures were all his thorns. He would go crazy and only after the impulse did he realize how outrageous it was. But if he experienced it again, he would still make the same choice.
"Your Highness, it's my fault, please punish me." Domestic
violence is not good, and Li Yu admitted it after being punished.
King Jing shook his head, hugged him tightly with bare eyes, and put something in his hand.
Li Yu took a look and found that it was the amulet that King Jing had given him before.
It turned out that when the bandits took him away, the amulet accidentally fell to the ground and was discovered by King Jing.
Li Yu looked at King Jing's red eyes and lowered his head embarrassedly.
King Jing looked at him, suddenly pulled his hand, and wrote hurriedly in his palm: Don't blame you, it's my fault, I'm late.
"No... Your Highness rushed to save me in time, it's all my fault." Li Yu waved his hand hurriedly.
I didn't return in time, which made you suspicious, it's my fault. King Jing wrote.
"Your Highness, let's not fight anymore, okay?"
Li Yu sniffed with emotion, "Why didn't Your Highness come back?"
Same as you. There was a faint arc on King Jing's lips.
Li Yu blinked and looked at him. After a while, he understood. Could it be that King Jing also thought that the bandits had captured Dabao and rushed to catch the bandits, so he was late?
"Does Your Highness also lose control of his emotions and get carried away?" Li Yu asked.
King Jing nodded.
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu thought to himself, then the two of them are really stupid together.
But after King Jing explained like this, Li Yu's guilty mood was much better.
From now on, trust me, I will do it. King Jing wrote.
Li Yu nodded with a smile, OK!
King Jing did not mention that he met a bandit leader. There was a fight, and the bright yellow swaddling clothes in the bandit's arms did not fool him. However, when he returned to the house, he found that Xiaoyu was missing. Later, he picked up the amulet and learned that Xiaoyu was unconscious and taken away by the bandits. At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into hell. However,
he was calm and started killing directly. All the bandits who bullied Xiaoyu should die!
If he could not find Xiaoyu, he did not know how long he would have killed. It was not until he saw Xiaoyu safe with his own eyes that the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
Therefore, he could understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and out of control that Xiaoyu said.
After Li Yu finished talking to King Jing, King Jing took off his outer robe, put it on Li Yu, covered the fish's tail, and picked him up.
Everything was ready, and the guards guarding the ruined temple were allowed to enter and deal with the bandits. King Jing broke into the ruined temple alone, and they guarded outside the temple, responsible for killing all the bandits who escaped.
While the guards were busy, King Jing, holding Li Yu, quietly returned to the palace.
Li Yu and King Jing were watching outside the house. Wang Xi was the first to discover King Jing and was about to run over. King Jing stretched out his hand to protect Li Yu and made a stop gesture from a distance.
Wang Xi guessed that they had something important to do, so he wisely did not come to disturb them.
In the house, Uncle Ye, who was so idle that he was about to grow grass, was playing with a few treasures.
Ye Qinghuan let Sibao sit in his arms, Erbao and Sanbao lie on his back, and then make faces at Dabao together. The prince vowed to make this little fat boy with deep hatred and deep bitterness laugh out loud.
In the end, it was the other three treasures who burst out laughing first.
Dabao, who felt that life was difficult and he might as well be a fish: "..."
Don't worry. King Jing shook Li Yu's hand.
Li Yu understood what he meant. King Jing wanted him to see with his own eyes that the children were safe and sound.
Li Yu nodded to show that he knew everything.
After looking at the children, King Jing faced Li Yu and raised his right hand.
Is this finally the punishment?
Li Yu bit his lip, neither dodging nor evading.
King Jing's hand fell down and gently rubbed his head.
Your Highness? Li Yu looked at him in confusion.
The punishment was passed, and King Jing curled his lips and smiled.
