CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

463 Cold Town

It didn’t take long for Bei Yau and the others to defeat the troop of soldiers who retreated after their comrades fell one by one, though some are manage to flee. After all this time, those soldiers might find an opponent they couldn’t take lightly, although the casualties were quite a lot from the Yue Yang soldiers the Second Prince which now left by half.

“Heh, they are tough, no wonder the soldiers dared to attack anyone they meet even though there was no leader among them,” said the Crown Prince looking at the soldiers evacuating the bodies of their fallen comrades.

Bei Yau came to report.

“Report Your Majesty, the combat abilities of these soldiers are no joke, the people we brought from Xin Hua are formidable warriors who still find it difficult to incapacitate them, it’s true what everyone says that their strength is not to be taken lightly.”

The Crown Prince clenched his fists behind his waist.

“Heh, let’s continue our journey, Bei, treat the wounded, and move quickly, looks like we can’t stay here too long, for everyone’s safety we must immediately join with general Lin Mo and the Cold Water Clan in Ku Chang”

Bei Yau nodded his head.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

While,...

.....

Bai Ying who is now standing in front of Ye Lu smiled, he took something out from his waist bag and put it into the young man’s hand.

“Your Majesty, this is.. ”

Ye Lu looked at the thing that was already in his palm, a small black shiny ring.

“Your Majesty, what is this?” he asked.

Bai Ying smiled.

“What else, it’s your black chain, Ying and Elder Yi managed to recover it, in fact, we put a little power in it”

Ye Lu looked at the ring that fit on his middle finger for a long time.

“Little power?”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Yeah, forgive Ying forgot to give this to you before our journey, I thought I’d give it when we get to Ku Chang, but who would have thought that we’d run into so many enemies on the way”

Ye Lu almost had tears in his eyes. He didn’t expect to get his family’s sacred items back after seeing them melt before his own eyes that time.

“Th-this, Servant, don’t know what to say, Your Majesty.”

Bai Ying smiled.

“Hehe, Ying who should be apologizing for melting your chains, it means a lot to you as well as to Sister Mu er, Ying regretted not being able to save hers, but, this time Ying has learned, I take the pieces of it remaining, and it turned out, according to Elder Yi, the black iron is basically a particle that has life, just like any other living creature, therefore Ying was able to bring it back, Ying already tried it, and, it’s pretty awesome.”

Ye Lu couldn’t help but dropped his knees in front of Bai Ying.

“Your Majesty, servant, really don’t deserve all this, I’ve been very disrespectful before”

“Brother Lu er please stand up”

Bai Ying was about to step forward to help Ye Lu up when someone grabbed him from behind, who else but the Crown Prince.

“Ahem, my Ying Ying, what are you doing?” he asked.

Bai Ying blinked his big innocent beautiful eyes at the Crown Prince who was already behind him.

“Em, Your Majesty, of course, help brother Lu er to get up.”

Luo Xiang glanced at Bei Yau who immediately helped the young man up. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince took Bai Ying’s hand and took him away.

“Come on my dear, we have to continue our journey soon, aren’t you feeling tired?” asked the Crown Prince holding Bai Ying’s hand gently.

The young man smiled broadly. He shook his head.

“No, Your Majesty, how can Ying be tired, Ying has been sitting in the carriage all this time, um, oh yeah, when do we eat, Your Majesty?”

“Hehehe this kid, at times like this you are still thinking about eating.” Luo Xiang excitedly pinched Bai Ying’s nose.

“Of course Your Majesty, we all need to eat right? Em, luckily grandma prepared a lot of food for everyone, um, what would Ying want to eat then?”

Meanwhile at Bei Yau and Chen Ming’s side.

“Does this still hurt?” asked Bei Yau helping Chen Ming put on his shoes after the knife slashed his ankle earlier, the wound wasn’t deep but enough to make the cloth and his white shoes stained with blood.

“Not really, it’s just too bad my shoes have become red like this, next time just bring black shoes”

Bei Yau smiled, he was very worried to see his prince who was fighting against his enemy earlier, but Prince Chen Ming’s combat ability had a much-developed than before, there was no need to worry about him anymore, though, he still wished he could always protect him. Bei Yau held Chen Ming’s hand, looking at the two smooth hands for a long time.

“Bei, what are you thinking?” Chen Ming asked.

Bei Yau raised his head and saw Chen Ming for a moment, a sweet and handsome face, at the same time are the beautiful Chen Ming that made him crazy. The gust of wind made his light brown hair sway lightly, his big eyelids with thick and curly eyelashes that fluttered beautifully after blinking a few times.

“Your Majesty, His Majesty the King has forbidden Your Majesty from participating in this mission, and Servant thought too, it is indeed better for Your Majesty to stay in the palace.”

Hearing that Chen Ming looked quite disappointed, he tried to pull his hand which was in Bei’s grip, but the man didn’t let it go.

“What do you mean, that I am so weak and not much help? Is that what you wanted to say?”

Bei Yau shook his head.

“That’s not what I meant, Your Majesty, and, I think, that was not His Majesty’s had in mind too, he, like me, didn’t want anything bad to happen to you, so he decided that Prince would not be on the mission this time, no matter what, Queen Bo Yan is not an easy opponent even for His Majesty the King himself.”

Chen Ming looked at Bei Yau for a moment, and also at Bai Ying who was standing affectionately with the Crown Prince outside his carriage. He held his breath for a moment before letting it out heavily.

“Heh, it was precise because of that, knowing how powerful the Queen was, and, all that was going to happen to Xiao Ying, how could I not come this time? This time, Xiao Ying’s life may be in danger, although, they don’t want to say anything, I know, something bad will happen, and, how could I not be with him when all of that happens?”

Bei Yau stuttered, he doesn’t follow how his Prince talks like that? He had a sad look on his face when he said that.

“Your Majesty, what does it mean?”

Chen Ming lowered his head to hold back his tears, he immediately withdrew his hand from Bei Yau’s grip and got into his carriage.

“Never mind Bei, I want to take a rest, we will continue our journey in a bit, you better take care of your men so they are ready when we took off”

Bei Yau stuttered, unable to ask further as Chen Ming had already lowered his head into his carriage and closed the curtain, no more sound from him.

“Uh, P-prince”

.....

A blizzard fell quite heavily to cover the road leading to the cold city of Ku Chang, a few pedestrians who were still left on the almost deserted main road moved fast from the storm that recently came after a while.

The city was indeed very cold, the wide and large roads that were laid out very neatly by the city officials were covered with snow and almost impassable to the Crown Prince’s chariot group.

Bei Yau stopped his horses in front of the main road, everyone was wearing cold robes with thick layers and fur hoodies to protect them from the cold, even the horses were equipped with thick cloth coverings that protected their backs and bottoms from the cold air.

The snow in Ku Chang is not just ordinary snow, this city usually only gets a cold effect and snow is almost rare, especially a snowstorm of this size, all of this happened since the water element of the Black turtle is uncontrollable and makes the weather there drop drastically, and recently, it’s getting worse.

Bai Ying parted the curtain of the carriage and widened his eyes to look around them.

“Wow it’s all so white, and it’s snowing”

Xiao Hong who had covered his body with his thickest clothes and robes still felt cold, he had the elements of fire, and winter is not his favourite season.

“Your Majesty, can anyone live in a place like this? It’s so cold.”

Bai Ying nodded.

“That’s right, this place is very cold, but we can warm up our water for our bath Hong, Ying can’t wait to have a hot bath”
