The voices of several children talking reached Huang Yun's ears, and she sighed inwardly.
Thinking that Leng Xi and Leng Yu would become enemies in half a month, and that no matter who won or lost, these children would be about to face the result of falling apart, she felt sad and melancholy in her heart from time to time.
Her gaze drifted towards Huaiyu, only to see him sitting there with a heavy heart, quietly looking out the window. He did not participate in the conversation between the children.
At this time, Leng Yu brought Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi and others and walked through the end of the corridor. Huaiyu's expression became nervous at this moment.
He pondered for a while, then suddenly bit his lip and glanced at Huang Yun. He covered his stomach with his hands, his face twisted, and said in pain:
"Mr. Huang, I have a stomachache and want to go to the toilet."
Huang Yun's heart skipped a beat. She knew that he was ready to take action.
She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Go ahead. It's really uncomfortable. I'll give you today off."
"Thank you, Mr. Huang."
Huaiyu bowed deeply, covered her stomach with her hands, bent over, and walked out of the classroom.
He first went to the toilet and then to the front yard.
Seeing Leng Yu, Xiao Lingzi and others talking in the main hall, he thought about it in his mind for a while, then came to the gate, turned around a few times, and then hid in the corner, quietly observing the movements at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.
After a while, Leng Yu waved to the Twins and the others, "You guys go down first. General Ling, you stay. I have something to say to you."
Little Shuangzi and a few others retreated. Leng Yu looked at Xiao Lingzi and waved to him solemnly.
"Come closer, there's something important I need you to do."
Seeing the prince's serious expression, Xiao Lingzi did not dare to delay and hurried to his side.
Leng Yu glanced at him and then whispered a few words in his ear.
Xiao Lingzi was stunned at first, then nodded. He knew that the prince must have his reasons for what he wanted him to do, and he never doubted the prince's ability to judge things.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will pay special attention to this matter."
Leng Yu frowned and nodded, waving his hand and said:
"Step back. Remember, don't tell anyone about this, especially the princess. She's currently arguing with me, and I don't know how to calm her down."
Xiao Lingzi suppressed his laughter and shrugged:
"Your Highness, over the years, you and the Princess have rarely been angry. You are about to enter the palace and become emperor. Let the Princess exercise her rights as a woman before you become emperor!"
"loquacious."
"I'll take my leave."
After Xiao Lingzi saluted Leng Yu with a fist salute, he turned around and retreated.
He strode to the door, and his men led his horse over and asked carefully:
"General, shall we go back to the barracks?"
"No, I'm busy these few days, so I won't be going back to the barracks for now. You take the brothers back!"
After hearing this, the subordinates hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.
"I understand. I will go back now."
Xiao Lingzi watched his men leave, then sighed, looked at the gray sky, and got on his horse with a depressed mood.
Just as he was about to spur his horse forward, he saw Huaiyu coming towards him from a distance. He was about to ask him where he was going when suddenly, a man in black rode past him at full speed. He then picked up Huaiyu by the waist and punched him in the back of the head. Huaiyu fainted immediately and was directly pushed down on the horse's back by the man in black. The man tightened the horse's reins and then slapped the horse's butt hard. The horse then sped away...
Xiao Lingzi, who suddenly felt that something was wrong, hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him, but the man's horse was running too fast. Even if he tried his best, there was still some distance between him and the other party.
In this way, Xiao Lingzi chased all the way to the city gate and shouted, "Close the city gate, close the city gate!"
He originally wanted the soldiers guarding the gate to cooperate with him and stop the man in black, but it was too late. Before the soldiers guarding the gate could react, the man in black directly passed the sentry post and rushed out of the city gate.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city stood there in confusion, watching Xiao Lingzi riding past them on horseback, at a loss. No one knew what had happened.
The man in black rode his horse faster and faster, and Xiao Lingzi was chasing him closely.
Just now, the prince's words were still echoing in his mind, and now this happened.
No matter what, he absolutely could not let Huaiyu get into trouble at this critical moment when the prince was about to ascend the throne.
Outside the city, in a spacious open space, the man in black finally stopped after a while of running wildly. He turned his horse around and looked at Xiao Lingzi who had just caught up with him. With a slight tug at his lips, he sneered with disdain:
"General Ling, your horse's legs are not strong enough. It's so sad that General Ling of the Great Ning Kingdom doesn't even have a decent horse!"
Xiao Lingzi looked at Huaiyu who was still lying unconscious on the horse's back, drew his sword, pointed it at him, and shouted angrily in a raised voice:
"Let this kid go quickly, or you'll be in big trouble."
"Hahaha... let him go? How is that possible? Not only will I not let him go, I will also kill him."
After saying that, he drew out the dagger from his waist and prepared to stab Huaiyu. At this moment, Huaiyu woke up with a start. He looked at the shining dagger and screamed in surprise.
"Ah! Help, help!"
"Don't be afraid, Huaiyu. Uncle Ling is here."
When Huaiyu turned around and saw Xiao Lingzi, she stretched out her hand as if grabbing a life-saving straw and called out:
"Uncle Ling, save me. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."
"Shut up."
The man in black tightened his grip on Huaiyu's collar, stared at him fiercely, and roared word by word.
"If you dare to move again, I will kill you without mercy."
Huaiyu bit her lips tightly, trembling as she looked at Xiao Lingzi, begging non-stop.
"Uncle Ling, save me, save me."
Xiao Lingzi looked at the dagger in the black-clothed man's hand with a pale face and shouted angrily:
"Stop it immediately! Holding a child hostage is nothing compared to your skill. If you have the guts, come at me."
The man in black smiled faintly, then raised his eyebrows and roared ferociously:
"Throw away the sword in your hand, or I will kill him."
As he spoke, he brought the dagger closer to Huaiyu's neck. Xiao Lingzi hesitated for a moment, then with a clang, he quickly dropped the sword to the ground...
The man in black looked at Xiao Lingzi again, with a sharp look in his eyes, and then said:
"Get off your horse and throw away all the weapons you have."
Xiao Lingzi was afraid that Huaiyu would get hurt, so he hurriedly did as he said.
When he threw the dagger on the ground, the man in black pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smug smile:
"General Ling, today, either you die or I live."
After saying that, he knocked Huaiyu unconscious with the hilt of the knife in his hand. At the same time, Xiao Lingzi was about to pick up the sword on the ground, but it was too late. The man in black had already flown to his side.
He could only fight with his opponent with his bare hands...
