When Xie Lingqin arrived at a mountain path with Suanpizi.
The handsome and serene man was sitting on the ground, while Xu Yiran was pointing her sword at him.
"Young Master Xu, what have I done wrong to deserve this treatment?"
Yu Riyu looked utterly innocent and puzzled.
Xu Yiran didn't retract her grip on the sword at all; her clear eyes were filled with coldness. In a moment, the tip of the sword was thrust forward...
"stop!"
Xie Lingqin's shout made Xu Yiran stop moving. Looking at Xie Lingqin who landed lightly, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly. "Xiao Qin, why are you here?"
"Don't kill him."
Xie Lingqin said, looking at Xu Yiran's dejected and heartbroken eyes, "He is not, so don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Xiao Qin..."
Xu Yiran's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. "For a moment, I really hoped he was him, so that you could get revenge, you could..."
Xu Yiran didn't continue speaking, but under Xie Lingqin's cool gaze, she finally sheathed her sword. "I'm always afraid of what might happen."
"It wasn't him."
Xie Lingqin added, "He wouldn't treat me this well."
Xie Lingqin said that her words, spoken softly, soothed Xu Yiran's heart like a feather, but also made Yu Riyu, who was sitting on the ground, remain expressionless, while his heart felt as if it were being pricked by a thousand needles.
"You can leave now."
Xie Lingqin waved to him.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will be leaving now."
Yu Riyu turned around, almost staggering.
"Wait a minute." Xie Lingqin called out to him again, a faint smile on her face. "Thank you for your flute playing. I haven't slept so well in a long time."
Her voice was like water, her gratitude like the wind. In his heart, the water was blown by the wind, which seemed sweet, but eventually dried up.
Actually, what he wanted to say was that he could stay and play the flute for her every day; he could...
Actually, he can't.
"No need to thank me, it's my duty. Farewell."
The figure walked away into the distance, across the vast and desolate land, as the dawn broke through the clouds.
Looking at that slender and tall figure, Xie Lingqin felt that the figure was somewhat unsteady.
Perhaps he was frightened by Xu Yiran just now.
"Let's go back to the city garrison and set off for the capital as soon as possible."
...
Meanwhile, in the distance, Yu Riyu, carrying a bundle, walked into a grove of trees, leaving the border of Southern Qi and finally entering the border of Northern Rong.
"Crown Prince."
In the shadows, Tingfeng and Tingyu appeared, both looking lingering fear.
"It's nothing, Xu Yiran just can't bring herself to do it."
Yuwen Yao was so certain.
Listening to the wind and listening to the rain, their expressions remained unchanged.
"His heart is kinder than mine."
Yuwen Yao only said this one sentence, then suddenly raised his hand, and a light, almost transparent green aura emanated from his palm. However, he then covered his face with his hand.
In an instant, that handsome face began to change. His eyebrows, eyes, lips, and nose moved slightly, and what was revealed to the air was the angular, jade-like face of Crown Prince Yuwen Yao.
This is the effect of the Cloud Clan's spiritual arts. With his disguise and his deliberate concealment, even Xie Lingqin and Xu Yiran, who originally knew the Cloud Clan's arts, couldn't tell the difference.
However, the innate sensitivity between men still made Xu Yiran quite suspicious of him.
Yuwen Yao withdrew his hand and looked at Tingfeng and Tingyu, "When will Yu Qingyi arrive at the border?"
"Your Highness, it is estimated to be another two days."
"Then we'll wait for him."
"Your Highness, aren't you returning to the capital?" Tingfeng exclaimed in surprise. "At a time like this, if we don't return to the capital, His Majesty..."
The sound of the wind suddenly stopped.
At the same time, he and Tingyu consciously protected Yuwen Yao behind them.
Two hours later.
Bloodstains everywhere, mutilated corpses and severed limbs.
Yuwen Yao wasn't seriously injured, but he looked to be struggling quite a bit.
Meanwhile, Tingfeng and Tingyu, who were nearby, were both injured.
"Your Highness, this power strongly resembles the deeper level of the Thunder Guards. They are ruthless, and every move is meant to kill us..."
Tingfeng's tone was solemn. After all, what could injure him and Tingyu and keep the Crown Prince busy was not only the well-timed ambush with a large number of people, but also the Emperor's hidden power behind the Thunder Guards.
"Black Fiend".
Yuwen Yao's face was somber. Suddenly, he beckoned to someone in the shadows, and a man dressed in black appeared and stood in front of him.
Listening to the wind and listening to the rain knew that this person was an elder protector of the Yama King's Palace. If he hadn't appeared in time, the battle would probably have lasted much longer.
"Elder, the Third Elder's protector has been dealt with by your subordinates, so you can rest assured."
Hei Sha bowed.
"Where is the Second Elder?"
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, there has been no news of him. All matters in the hall are being handled by his protectors."
"Alright, go back and keep an eye on the Yama King's Palace. Report to me if there is any disturbance."
"yes."
The Black Demon arrived suddenly and left just as quickly.
Tingfeng thought for a moment, then stepped forward, "Your Highness, should we make some moves..."
"Need not."
Yuwen Yao waved his hand, "That power cannot be used."
"So where are we going now?"
"Find a place to stay and wait for Yu Qingyi to arrive."
"But in the capital, he... young master..."
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to let him stay in the capital. I believe he can handle it."
"……yes."
Listening to the wind and listening to the rain exchanged a glance, but neither said anything.
The Crown Prince probably wants to take another look at Miss Lingqin.
Even if he couldn't see her, he would be willing to be closer to her.
...
Xie Lingqin, Nan Fenghuang, Xu Yiran, and others had already set off for the capital city under the arrangement of Yang Chengshou. After traveling for half a day, they received news of a fierce battle at the border of Beirong.
