Chapter 192 Whoever Obstructs Shall Die!

“Oh……” Ning Xue was easily being waken up through shaking, she opened her eyes, rubbed her drowsy eyes, half-consciously said: “Brother, are we there yet?”

“Not yet, are you hungry now? What do you want to eat?” asked Ye Wuchen affectionately.

Ning Xue didn’t respond right away, but using her hazy sleepiness, she asked a question that she had been holding back for so long: “Are we able to s.n.a.t.c.h Sister back?”

“Of course we can.” Ye Wuchen smiled and said: “But, during that time it might be very dangerous, by that time, Xue-er just needs to close your eyes, don’t be afraid, you got it?”

Going to the Gale Nation, the aim was to s.n.a.t.c.h, and not request, or talk things over through negotiation. His goal for heading there was to use force. The so-called treaty between Long Yin and the Gale Nation, was only a joke in his eyes. If the moment comes when the Gale Nation would really dispatch its troops against the Tian Long Nation, the first thing that they would undergo will be to receive a warning from the Southern Empire clan. And even if the Southern Empire clan remained silent, the nations would wage war against each other, what business does he have with them? He never wanted to become a so-called hero, he just wanted to use his own strength, to protect each and every important person beside him. Other things seemed unimportant to him. At most, he will just spend his utmost efforts to resolve the problems if he needed to.

“Brother…… Am I too useless, every time I will just be a burden for you…… yet I never wanted to be apart from brother.” Ning Xue flattened her mouth, with a sad expression. She knew it all along, that by the sticking beside him she will not only unable to be like Tong Xin who could help him, protect him, but she could only be a burden.

Ye Wuchen rubbed her small face, pretending to blame her as he said: “Don’t say such silly words again, or else brother would really get angry now. Do you still remember, that during that time if wasn’t for you, brother will not be here anymore, so for me, you will never become a burden, understood?”

Ning Xue didn’t respond, but just shrunk her body back to his arms, the atmosphere outside was indeed starting to get colder, only in brother’s arms, will be the most cozy and mildest place in the world.

Stopping by to rest for a short duration of time, Ye Wuchen bought a horse from the village, spurring the horse to full speed he headed westward again.

After the nightfall it will be late night, then followed by dawn, and during this period of time, every time they pa.s.sed by some village or town Ye Wuchen will use the fastest speed to switch to a new horse, during the long night, his entire body had been soaked wet by dew, but still he felt the time pa.s.sed by too quickly, and the horse was running too slow.

After early morning, the sun was at three poles high, they became very closer and closer to the Tian Feng City. In the eastern side of the Gale Nation, aside from the atmosphere being somehow dry, it was not much different from the Tian Long Nation. In the noon time, the Tian Feng City had finally appeared before the sight of the worried Ye Wuchen, he heavily heaved a sigh of relief.

During the time when Feng Ling had drawn support from Feng ChaoYang’s power to travel from Tian Feng City to Tian Long City within three days time, was already considered truly astonishing, but Ye Wuchen had actually just used one day and one night’s time, it could only be described as universally shocking. The main thing he had relied on, was the frightening speed of Tong Xin.

This time, with a neighing sound, the horse below him suddenly stumbled, heavily fell forward, Ye Wuchen quickly carried Ning Xue as he jumped to the ground, didn’t dare to stop, he patted the horse that was paralyzed on the ground panting heavily, with its entire body twitching, he said: “Thanks for your effort, rest well now.”

“Help…… Woowoo, big brother, please save me……”

Ye Wuchen was about to proceed ahead, when suddenly he heard the sound of a young girl crying out for help beside his ears, the voice was gentle and soft, so pitiful. While being anxious a while ago, Ye Wuchen didn’t even notice that there was a person beside him.

He casted sidelong glances, discovered a pet.i.te figure in the midst of the withered gra.s.s from the roadside, due to the gra.s.s being too high, and the young girl’s body being pet.i.te, she was being almost fully covered by the dry gra.s.s, without paying much attention, the pa.s.sers-by will not able to easily find her.

Ye Wuchen hesitated for a moment, eventually his heart went soft, then walked over to the area. He discovered that it was a young girl. Her age was similar to Ning Xue, her clothes have been cut open a few spots, with two elaborate ponytails on her head, her small face delicate and adorable, but on her face were few traces of tear stains that were about to dry up, she was hugging her right leg while sitting there, softly crying out due to pain, looking pitifully at Ye Wuchen.

“Brother, looks like she was hurt, can we help her.” Ning Xue knew that they have an urgent matter in hand, but her soft heart simply couldn’t make her to just ignore this seemingly similar young age girl who was badly hurt.

“Big brother, my foot was so painful…… can you help take me to my home……” The young girl’s eyes were flashing with tears, weeping while sobbing.

Her one foot appeared to be badly twisted, almost seemed like being fiercely hit by something that it was dislocated, furthermore it was not a huge hindrance. Ye Wuchen didn’t want to delay further, didn’t inquire her, just swiftly squat down, his hands pressing on her foot, twisted his wrist, during the painful yell of the girl with “ka-cha” sound, her ankle was moved back to its original position, followed by releasing a portion of his Wuchen power, recovered the injured site, completely wiping off her pain and discomfort.

Ye Wuchen stood up, looking at the young girl with widely opened eyes and a face full of unconvinced expression while touching her foot, he said: “It’s already alright, you must hurry home, in the future don’t come to such faraway place all by yourself again.”

“Ah…… thank you big brother, big brother, can you tell me your name…… Ah! Big brother!”

Before she could finish talking, Ye Wuchen already left like a gust of wind, disappeared before her eyes, she can only stare at his rear view, just like being foolishly terrified.

When their figures disappeared from her sight, the young girl’s facial expression had completely disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and cold apathetic expression, slowly, she stood up, looking at the direction where they were headed, the corner of her mouth hooked up, exposing a frightening smile: “Indeed it was the two of them, the one who had lost her powers, and the other one with a power that had declined too much……”

“But, what kind of power did that person use a while ago?”

People come around in the Tian Feng City, not that lively. Ye Wuchen, the three unfamiliar faces, didn’t cause any interrogation when they entered the city, walking on the streets, yet they repeatedly caused the pa.s.sers-by to raise eyebrows.

The air in this area was drier than the Tian Long City, the establishments and attires were not that sumptuous like the Tian Long City, Ye Wuchen was listening with rapt attention to people’s conversation in the streets, his brows knitted tighter and tighter. For him to travel day and night just to get here, he did it right. Yesterday Ye ShuiYao had arrived here, today she will marry the crown prince.

He pulled over a random person in the streets, asked by surprise: “Where is the location of the imperial palace?”

For people in the Tian Feng City, this was pretty much a very common sense kind of question, before the man could react, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and pointed towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Ye Wuchen released him, hurriedly went towards the direction of the imperial palace. He believed that, he still have enough time.

Sister, since your choice was wrong, then let me help you make a right choice.

The Gale Nation’s imperial palace was decorated with lanterns and colored banners everywhere, happiness in harmony, guests from all directions one by one came to attend, the big wedding of the crown prince, was not just a small thing. But due to the limited time, guests and influential visitors were mostly from Tian Feng City.

Luan Feng Hall was the place for huge weddings in the Gale Nation’s imperial palace, normally aside from the princes and grandsons of the emperor, only those was granted by the emperor were qualified enough to celebrate wedding and entertain the guests from all directions here.

In front of the Ye ShuiYao’s Yao Feng Pavilion the drums were beating simultaneously, lion dances were continuous. In the gateway were five palanquins with eight carriers, three red two blue, the first one will be used by Ye ShuiYao as the marriage sedan, the body of the sedan was with red curtain and green top, on top of it was inserted with dragon and phoenix as symbols of good fortune, golden yellow silk ta.s.sels were suspended in the four corners. The other four were according to tradition, the two red ones will be used by the escorts of the bride, two blue palanquin were covered by blue woolen cloth, on top of them were inserted with copper crowns, for the groom and his best man.

The clamor of festive sounds had made the Yao Feng Pavilion to become not tranquil anymore, Ye ShuiYao was like a wooden person being a.s.sisted by the servants to put on her wedding dress, her head was already being covered by the crimson head covering. She knew that this day would finally come, although the arrival date was much earlier that what she had predicted, but instead of feeling terrified in her heart, she was instead unusually calm, just like a stagnant water without any life force.

From the moment she left Tian Long City, her heart seemed already died, her life became a blank s.p.a.ce. All of the happiness, sadness, attachments, indifferences that she had ever attained before…… were already became the past that will never ever come back, in this new country, all she had was…… zero, just like being from a world, then being suddenly transferred to another completely irrelevant world.

That female servant who was supposed to be the bride’s escort had been persuading her for a very very long time, but she still didn’t move a single jot, bewildered as to how this journey was going to come to an end. When the female servant became tired of persuading, she suddenly stood up then walk out of the door, her expression was still cold, just like a young lotus in the world of chaos.

The door was pushed open, Ye ShuiYao came out with her full body in red, Feng Ling who was waiting for impatiently outside was overjoyed. The two female servants who were similarly dressed in red hurriedly proceeded ahead, supported her as she hopped on the marriage sedan.

“Humph! What a great att.i.tude, coming out after a very long time.” beside Feng Ling, a woman who had insisted to follow him to escort the bride indignantly snorted coldly. Her name is Feng Ru, seemed like more than twenty years of age, it’s Feng Ling’s own little sister with the same mother, although she is a woman, yet she was rather robust, thick eyebrows and big eyes, between her brows appeared to have a bold and vigorous intrepid att.i.tude. During normal times she was rather dependent on Feng Ling, she only listened to his words, her nature was completely different from him, this was the reason why at this age the magnificent princess was still unable to get married off.

Feng Ling fiercely stared at her, she went silent, getting a huff as she turned her face away.

Along with the gongs and drums, suona, and lion dance, the marriage sedan had finally set out, with the clamor of the noises it headed towards the Luan Feng Hall.

At the same time, in front the gates of the imperial palace there was a commotion.

“Stop, the imperial palace is a strategic place, all other people with no fixed duties shall not enter.” a stern imperial guard blocked off Ye Wuchen, vigilantly looked at him. They were already quite familiar with those who frequently travel in and out of the imperial palace, how could they allow Ye Wuchen the unfamiliar face to enter.

Ye Wuchen stayed calm, and courteously said: “Brother, please go ahead and announce it, just tell them that Tian Long Nation Ye family had a.s.signed someone to attend the crown prince’s big wedding.”

“Do you have any written doc.u.ment?” that imperial guard was unconvinced, as he coldly replied.

“None.” Ye Wuchen wrinkled his brows, his voice went deep, at the same time he proceeded one step ahead, directly collided with this imperial guard, with quick steps he headed inside.

“Outrageous!” that imperial guard roared, beside him more than ten people approached, carrying blades as they obstructed Ye Wuchen’s way.

Ye Wuchen didn’t stop his footsteps, using an indifferent voice he gave Tong Xin his first command to kill: “Whoever obstructed, shall die!”

When Ye Wuchen’s voice dropped, a cold red light shot out, during the flicker of this red light, a red line simultaneously appeared in the neck of the three persons carrying the blades blocking Ye Wuchen’s way, then with their frightened eyes opened wide, they collapsed facing the sky.
