CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

565 The Sacred Heirloom

In General Po’s private residence. Elder Yi sat on the edge of the bed after checking General Po’s condition. The old man received a devastating attack that partially burned his back.

With the General’s combat skills he shouldn’t have had any trouble with the small number of attacks but he lose his guard when something big and strong appeared all of sudden and send him and some of his men down, he even loses his men. That’s very unexpected.

Earlier, General Po was chased after the shadow that came out of his room at the same time the chaos occurred elsewhere around his private residence. Several people wearing black veils were shot scattered in all directions.

While Elder Yi chased after several people who had fled towards the other side, General Po chased after a small figure who he suspected was carrying something in his hand. From a box in his private room.

As a result, the old general had to be blown away during an attack with a force he had never expected before making him seriously injured. The power even set part of the forest behind General Po’s residence on fire.

Elder Yi put some ointment on the wound which looks quite bad.

“Old general, you know that you are not young anymore, one-on-one combat is not a good idea. Look what happened to you now? And this burn is not an ordinary wound, I have never come across this kind of burn but it seems very difficult to be healed.”

General Po who was lying face down with his back on him couldn’t help but grin.

“Hey, this old body of mine is used to receiving any kind of attack, it’s not a big deal, I’ve been worse than this before,” said the old man trying to get up and sit up.

.....

“But, what kind of weapon is so powerful, to make such a loud explosion? And, have you suspected anyone? It seems whoever it is he already knows where to get your stuff, and, what is that thing so important?”

General Po looked at Elder Yi for a moment, the old but young man should be someone he could trust.

“That is the sacred weapon of the Wah Ye tribe, it has been in my residence for a long time but even I myself did not realize it. And now, it has reappeared with its power that can shake the martial world,”

Elder Yi widened his eyes. That wasn’t the kind of thing he wanted to hear at the time, considering how powerful such a small thing was.

“A sacred weapon? That, which makes such a large area crumble in an instant?” Repeat.

General Po nodded.

He was just about to answer when he heard the doorman’s voice.

“His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!” cried the doorman.

Elder Yi and General Po turned their heads, the general was about to get up from his bed to greet them but Bai Ying had already approached him first.

“Sincerely Your Majesty...”

“Grandpa, how are you? Why you are hurting like this?” asked Bai Ying who was worried about General Po’s condition and was having a hard time even sitting properly let alone saluting.

“Your Majesty the Viceroy, I’m fine, it’s just a small wound”

But Bai Ying didn’t believe that. He had seen General Po with a face that was almost crying with anxiety.

“Really? How can it be fine, the wound looks so so bad severe like this, how can this be called a minor?” Bai Ying asked.

General Po smiled at Bai Ying who was so worried about him that his eyes were watering and almost crying.

“It’s really okay, Your Majesty, it’s just a common wound, I’ve been injured worse than this before, trust me it’s just a minor wound, Your Majesty there’s no need to worry too much”

Bai Ying finally couldn’t hold back his tears and crying.

“Erm, Grandpa”

Luo Xiang approached, he only raised his hand to allow General Po not to get off his bed, he was badly injured.

“General Po”

The old man lowered his head.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me for having lost the heirloom, I have been negligent”

Luo Xiang put two hands behind his waist looking at General Po and Elder Yi who were standing not far from him.

“The attack elsewhere was purposely for making all attention on it. And that person already knows where to look, apparently, they has studied the situation beforehand, it’s not your fault General Po”

Bai Ying wiped his tears. He looked at General Po and saw the Crown Prince standing behind him.

“Your Majesty, what does that mean? What kind of heirloom is that? Is it so important to cause such a big mess?” Bai Ying asked.

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying for a moment, then looked at General Po and Elder Yi. General Po lowered his head before answering.

“That is the Sacred heirloom from the ancient Wah Ye, used to be my father’s mainstay weapon during the war against spirits, it hasn’t been used for a long time since the country was buried, somehow that person manage to turn it on and use it”

“That because Chai Ni is a descendant of one of Wah Ye’s priestesses when Wah Ye was destroyed, the priestess took off her robes and saved herself. She was very young at the time of the incident but as a priestess, she was blessed with the ability to use sacred weapons against mystical creatures. Because of its attack power which is quite formidable and devastating, making it is less useful as a weapon of war. Is that right, General Po?” Luo Xiang asked.

General Po nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty”

Hearing that Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Really, Your Majesty? How can that be, it’s impossible, Your Majesty, eh, wasn’t you said that Princess Chai Ni the niece of Her Majesty the Queen? How can she be a descendant of a priestess?” He asked scratching his head in confusion.

“That, it’s a long story Ying, and it was Crown Prince Lo Yi alone who said it”

“Really? That, very odd,” thought Bai Ying tilting his head in thought

“General Po, you just have a rest now, let Bei take over the commander while you’re resting, after obtaining the weapon I don’t know what Chai Ni will plan, according to Lo Yi’s estimation, it’s likely that his younger sister will attack the palace and overthrow the Emperor, and perhaps, great chaos will happen because of that woman’s innocent and stupidity”

General Po looked at the Crown Prince for a moment. Although he actually couldn’t just sit around doing nothing what the Crown Prince said was true. With his current condition, he is not fit to back on duty, and he will only become a burden. But this problem is not a small matter.

“Your Majesty, however, I need to find that sacred weapon back, its power is so great it can destroy anything, right now Princess Chai Ni may not know what kind of power she has is in her hands.”

Luo Xiang thought

“But, right now we don’t have a clue as to where Chai Ni is, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

General Po took a deep breath. He lowered his head.

“That’s right Your Majesty, this is going to be very difficult”

“Did they also take the box with them?” Luo Xiang asked ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Firᴇ

General Po looked at the table not far from his bed, behind the Crown Prince

“No Your Majesty, the intruder just took the contents and left the box on the floor

Luo Xiang turned his body, looking at the box on the table behind him.

“This?”

Bai Ying got up from his seat, taking a look at the medium-sized box that was carved quite beautifully

He had barely touched it when he suddenly felt something strange on him, for a moment his eyes flashed red with all eyes turning white. He saw something pop up on his head that was related to blood and bodies strewn everywhere, as far as he could see, as it was his own vision. The cry of a child to the woman weeping, a very sad feeling gets through his chest.

Luo Xiang who saw Bai Ying’s motionless reaction with a strange facial expression immediately pulled the young man’s hand from the item box.

“Ying Ying, what happened?

Bai Ying is back to himself. His eyeballs returned to their original colour he looked at Luo Xiang with big eyes.

“Y-Your Majesty, we must find her and stop Princess Chai Ni. Something bad will happen” Bai Ying said gripping Luo Xiang’s hand tightly

Luo Xiang was worried, seeing Bai Ying’s sudden transformation made him afraid. He caressed the young man’s cheek trying to calm him down

“What are you looking at Ying? Is something bad going to happen?”

Bai Ying also didn’t understand what he had seen, but it definitely made his heart beat quite fast, as if something bad was really about to happen.
