Chapter 31 Still Your Brother Yun
If he is alive, I want to see him in person; if he is dead, I want to see his body.
This was the order Huo Gannian gave with gritted teeth in the study that day.
Therefore, the Huo Gang launched a large-scale operation to search for Yun Chen at the same time in more than 800 branches across the Nan Kingdom.
All the rivers, lakes and seas, big and small, were filled with the Huo Gang's boats and people, who were constantly fishing with nets and bamboo poles.
The brothers in the gang thought Yun Chen was dead and were trying to retrieve his body. They all went into the water with iron hooks to catch corpses. When Hua Jue found out, he scolded them and asked them to use fishing nets instead.
We fished for ten days in a row, day and night.
The common people marveled at it, thinking that even if they could find a turtle, they should be able to do it.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Ye Yan worked tirelessly, directing and dispatching troops, conducting blanket searches across different areas, leaving him with a scruffy beard and dark circles under his eyes.
Bu Yan insisted on going out on the boat every day. He was so tired that his steps became weak and he almost didn't have the strength to speak.
Hua Jue cried miserably.
He said that Yun Chen must be fine, but in fact he had already bought the best stones, saying that he would carve a tombstone for Yun Chen. He would howl twice every time he carved a stone.
Therefore, when Bailu Island sent a letter saying that Yun Chen was still alive, everyone was on the verge of collapse.
Hua Jue raised the stone above his head, threw it hard on the ground, and shouted that he would beat Yun Chen.
But when Yun Chen really appeared in front of everyone, no one could bring themselves to do it.
To be precise, everyone thought that Yun Chen must have been seriously injured, otherwise there would be no news for so many days, but they never expected that she would be in such a miserable state:
She was leaning on a crutch, standing behind the gorgeously dressed princess and her guards, like a dying stray puppy.
From head to toe, his body was wrapped in herbal cloths. Many parts of his body were bright red or dark red, and blood was oozing out. It looked very scary.
The swelling on her face had mostly subsided, but the purple bruises covered her fair cheeks, making it almost impossible to recognize whether it was Yun Chen.
She pulled up the corners of her mouth to smile, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she gasped in pain, and her voice was hoarse and weak.
Looking through the shocked and heartbroken Huo Gang guards, Yun Chen saw Huo Gannian coming out of the door and shouted happily:
"Young Master! Look! I'm on crutches too!"
Otherwise, your Brother Yun is still your Brother Yun.
Look at the puncture of the heart and lung tube.
Before Huo Gannian could speak, Ye Yan and others had already surrounded Yun Chen.
Several guards at the dock laughed and said:
"You're amazing, kid! You gave the Yu family a hard time! We saw the ironwood assault ship crash with our own eyes! It was so loud! So cool! It was so cool!"
Ye Yan choked up and felt relieved: "I haven't seen you for half a year. You've grown taller! I'm glad you're back!"
Hua Jue searched in the air with his hands, thinking for a long time, and finally chose the only part of Yun Chen that was not injured - his ear.
He grabbed Yun Chen's ears with both hands, twisted them until Yun Chen grimaced and cried:
"Wuwu... Yunchen, you've lost weight... Wuwu..."
Without saying anything, he smiled and began to pour the beans:
"Yun Chen, you've done a great deed again! I heard that old man Yu Yangji was so angry that he almost vomited blood! Not only did he waste thousands of taels of gold, but he also caused foreign countries in the southeast to question the Yu family's ability to manage the grain transport! They said they wanted to find other partners! They've already sent people to meet with the Huo Gang! Yun Chen, you..."
Yun Chen was dizzy from the constant chatter of everyone.
Fortunately, everyone still respected the rules that Huo Gannian had followed, and they quickly stopped talking and moved aside to allow Huo Gannian to look at Yun Chen.
Yun Chen's eyes were swollen and his vision was a little blurry. He could not see Huo Gannian's face clearly, but only vaguely saw the outline of a figure sitting in a wheelchair.
She walked out of the crowd, took one step forward, two steps...
Then he bent his knees and lay down.
Bu Yan sighed behind her: "Look, what a loyal guard!" Then he advised: "Achen, you are already injured like this, throw the rules aside, what's the point of being polite!"
Ye Yan cursed: "Fuck your head! You hit the ground with your face! You must be dizzy!"
“Fuck!”
"Help!"
Everyone rushed over and worked together to put Yun Chen into the house.
Yun Chen slept in a daze for half a day. When he woke up again, the princess and the guards had already left.
She was placed in a private room belonging to the personal guards, with Huo Gannian being the only one in the room.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, parked next to the bed.
When Yun Chen opened his eyes, he met his thoughtful gaze.
Today he was wearing a crab-shell green, dark-patterned, wide-breasted robe embroidered with sea water, river cliffs, clouds, and flowers. The collar embroidered with water patterns made his fair and handsome skin stand out, and his expression was as cold as the winter moon.
At first glance, his attire was as formal as that of a high priest going to the waterside to pray for rain. His extraordinary bearing carried a kind of inviolable majesty, which made people feel a kind of forbidden admiration.
Yun Chen's heart skipped a beat when he accidentally noticed the rising and falling Adam's apple at his collar.
She called out "Young Master" and struggled to sit up, but heard him say:
"No, I can't help you."
She was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out his emotions, and could only stare at him stupidly, until he blinked gently and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then she smiled stupidly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
She asked, "Young Master, has the princess left? Have we formed an alliance with the princess?"
He straightened his lips and nodded, "I've already discussed this with the princess while you were asleep. From now on, the princess will be our head mistress."
She was annoyed: "Master, am I making things difficult for you?"
"It might as well be that we either join forces to deal with the Yu family, or the Huo Gang will also become the princess's enemy. It's only a matter of time before we form an alliance with the princess."
She nodded, feeling a little relieved.
He then asked, "Princess Nan Lijun of the Nan Kingdom is the only legitimate daughter of the current emperor and the late queen. What do you think of her?"
Although she felt it was very bold to talk about the emperor and the princess behind their backs, she still carefully recalled the scene of her contact with Nan Lijun and said seriously:
"I think it's okay. When I first went to Egret Island, there was a shelf specially for the young master in the bathroom, and the thresholds in the courtyard were all flattened. At least it shows that the princess cares about the young master."
"I am determined to win," he added, paused, and then said:
"The Yu family, having supported the Emperor's ascension to the throne many years ago, has enjoyed the court's protection for years. Now, Yu Yangji is attempting to cultivate confidants within the palace to interfere in state affairs. The Emperor is ill and has been absent from court for a long time. The princess is unwilling to see the Nan Kingdom ceded to others, so she is seeking to support a powerful faction to jointly deal with the deeply rooted Yu family."
She didn't understand why he suddenly explained so much, and felt that these important matters were not something a guard like her could listen to.
Seeing her doubts, he said seriously:
"If you become the princess's vanguard against the Yu family, you will be in danger and even more disasters. You need to find your benefactor and repay his kindness. It is not appropriate for you to stay with me. I am afraid that you will lose your life here before you find your benefactor."
What he said made perfect sense, but she smiled and said:
"Young Master, I've thought about this a long time ago. My benefactor saved my mother, and it's a great favor, which I must repay. Young Master is so magnanimous and selfless, and helped me find my benefactor, and I must repay him as well. Young Master once said that as long as I'm in the Huo Gang, you will help me find my benefactor. So from now on, I will do my utmost to protect you every day! If I still can't find my benefactor, I will go to hell and apologize in the underworld in the future."
After hearing this, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, sometimes warm, sometimes sad.
"Yun Chen, if you agree, you can be my personal guard," he said.
She held onto the cotton ball in her nose to stop the bleeding, and despite the pain all over her body, she rolled out of bed, knelt on one knee in a funny posture, and said solemnly:
"Young Master, for your kindness, Yun Chen will repay you with swords and fire!"
