Chapter 190: Decision
I really want to pretend I never existed…
Ye Shuo felt that he should not have believed his words in the first place. His cheap father’s words sounded nice, but if he thought about it carefully, how could he, an emperor, know how to chase girls?
Almost in an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused on Ye Shuo.
The second prince was wondering why his father suddenly asked this group of secret guards to pay their respects to his ninth brother.
As for the Seventh and Eighth Princes, after a rough thought, they roughly knew the reason, so they watched the fun from the sidelines.
However, things have come to this point, Ye Shuo has no choice but to bite the bullet and raise his hand pretending to be calm: “Well, everyone get up.”
Wu Yi then stood up with a group of secret guards.
The moment Wu Yi stood up, Huo Tianyi and others almost subconsciously stared at him.Although Wu didn’t reveal any of his aura, a thought flashed through Huo Tianyi’s mind quickly –
Unfathomable.
Similarly, Wu Yi also noticed Huo Tianyi, who was old and introverted but had an extraordinary feeling, and… the woman in fiery red clothes not far away.
Out of instinct, Wu Yi almost instantly locked onto these two targets in his mind.
When Emperor Jingwen was present, Wu Yi was only at the disposal of Emperor Jingwen, so naturally all the attention was on him.
Seeing so many strangers around, who seemed to be people from the martial arts world, Wu Yi couldn’t help but look at Emperor Jingwen, asking his master with his eyes how to deal with these people.
Emperor Jingwen obviously understood what he meant. As he was hesitating, he saw his youngest son looking at him pleadingly.
Emperor Jingwen’s brows suddenly frowned, and after considering for a moment, he finally shook his head slightly at Wu Yi.
Forget it, considering that they are still diligent later, I will forgive their previous offence.
Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They had no idea that in just a few breaths, they had been to the gates of hell. Now Huo Tianyi and others have not yet reacted to the change of these people’s identities.
As for Lin Zhan who was standing aside, his eyes widened.
He never imagined that the young man in front of him who was posing coquettishly would actually be the prince!
“This is impossible!” Lin Zhan almost shouted out.
However, almost instantly, he closed his mouth, lowered his head, and tried his best to reduce his presence.
Lin Zhan was flustered, and all kinds of emotions flashed through his mind.
In the eyes of the Second Prince and others, Lin Zhan was just a small character after all, so no one paid attention to this place for a while.
Now that Emperor Jingwen has been found, the secret guards will naturally escort Emperor Jingwen and others back to the capital.
Soon, the Medicine Valley became the territory of Emperor Jingwen and several princes.
The secret guards were well-trained, with a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Any one of them was as good as anyone except Huo Tianyi in terms of kung fu. If they started fighting, without any special means, they would be wiped out in less than half an incense stick of time.
They claim to be masters in the martial arts world, but it turns out they are just so-so.
No wonder the word “jianghu” has existed for so many years, but no force has been able to gain popularity. It turns out that the root cause lies here.
During his lifetime, Huo Tianyi had a good understanding of the royal majesty.
“You have really good taste.” The beautiful woman couldn’t help but tease when no one was around.
Huo Tianyi smiled bitterly, feeling that God was playing a trick on him. How could he have imagined that the person he picked up casually by the river would be a prince!
No wonder this young man is so handsome, ordinary families can’t raise such a guy.
Even though these people are from the underworld and are evildoers that everyone wants to kill, they are not fools after all, and they will not rush to seek death for no reason, so they naturally remain silent when facing so many secret guards.
The beautiful woman didn’t know whether she should be happy or sad at this moment: “It seems that his marriage with Zhi’er will not be successful.” It was a blessing in disguise.
The beautiful woman was not stupid. Given the young man’s identity, it was absolutely impossible for him to marry a woman from the underworld.
Huo Tianyi felt very complicated when he heard this: “It won’t work out, it won’t work out…”
As for the agreement, the six of them were very tactful and never mentioned it again.
Including Mei Yingzhuo, they just thought that their hard work was wasted, which was better than being targeted by the royal family.
Since Huo Tianyi and others would think so, Lin Zhan would naturally think so too.
Although he was very unwilling and jealous of Prince Ye Shuo’s identity, when Lin Zhan reacted, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually a good thing. Given the young man’s identity, he will definitely not marry her, so he still has a chance.
While no one was paying attention to him, Lin Zhan quickly made another small move.
Yao Zhi’s mind was in a mess because of this sudden news. She didn’t care about being angry with Lin Zhan at all. When she finally noticed someone in front of her, she heard Lin Zhan say, “How is Junior Sister? Was what Senior Brother said before true?”
It was impossible for the young man to marry her before, and it was even more impossible for him to do so now.
“Do you think that for someone like him, he will miss his days here after he gets out? No, he won’t. He will only feel humiliated.” It must be said that Lin Zhan had a very accurate grasp of the psychology of Emperor Jingwen and several princes. Emperor Jingwen did think of killing them after he got out.
“Think about it, a prince has to live in the hands of a woman. Can he be really happy?”
“Junior sister, you should know yourself and not aim too high.”
If he were a prince, with mountains of gold and silver, and endless beauties to enjoy, how could he really be attracted to a country woman?
He was just forced by the situation and endured it for a while.
Although Lin Zhan had never witnessed the extravagant scenes of the royal family with his own eyes, he had seen high-ranking officials taking concubines. Lin Zhan had once taken a look at the concubine and found her so beautiful.
If this is the case even for officials’ backyards, let alone the royal family.
Lin Zhan felt drooling just thinking about it, so he was certain in his heart that the young man would definitely not admit it.
I just don’t know if these two people who are so close have ever had sex. Thinking of this, Lin Zhan’s expression couldn’t help but freeze, but for the good things about Yao Zhi, Lin Zhan finally decided to hold his nose and endure it.
The worst that could happen is that after he has coaxed those things into his hands, he will kick her out. An unclean woman is naturally not worthy of him, so Lin Zhan feels at ease.
However, just as Lin Zhan finished speaking, he heard the sound of gnashing teeth not far away.
“Well, I knew you had bad intentions!”
Ye Shuo had vaguely felt that Yao Zhi was not in a good state before, and guessed that this person probably didn’t say anything nice, so he was deliberately on guard.
This time, Lin Zhan was caught red-handed by Ye Shuo.
When Lin Zhan heard the young man’s voice behind him, he was immediately startled. Before he could react, Ye Shuo waved to the people brought by the second prince.
“Someone, take him down for me!”
He couldn’t control the secret guards, but the people brought by the second prince were always obedient.
Lin Zhan wanted to resist, but Wu Yi, who was always paying attention to the surrounding movements, shot him in the leg with a stone.
Lin Zhan’s right leg went numb and his knee went weak. Seeing this, the people next to him immediately grabbed him.
“Who told you that I’m unhappy? She treats me well, and I’m so happy.”
Ye Shuo squatted down, and under the other party’s incredulous gaze, he gritted his teeth and said: “Also, I’m telling you clearly, don’t use your standards to measure others. This prince likes her like this, and this prince wants to marry her, three letters and six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs, nothing is missing!”
The moment the words fell, almost everyone was shocked, and the Second Prince finally understood what had just happened.
Huo Tianyi and others were all in disbelief. When the news reached Emperor Jingwen’s ears soon, he suddenly stopped.
Bastard, how dare you say anything!
But after knowing what Lin Zhan said to Yao Zhi, Emperor Jingwen thought, no wonder the little bastard couldn’t help it.
Lin Zhanzhe’s eyes widened immediately: “Impossible! You are lying!”
“As a prince, how could you possibly be interested in a girl from the martial arts world?” What’s more, this girl is already 23 years old!
In his eyes, what exactly did he think of Yao Zhi? Ye Shuo was so angry.
“First of all, she is good at Kung Fu. How many people in this world have better Kung Fu than her?”
“Secondly, she is kind.” Kindness itself is an extremely precious quality, which not everyone possesses. Kindness with strength is simply a powerful weapon.
“Besides, she is very clear about right and wrong, and she doesn’t bully others even if she has the ability. She is also very careful and considerate, and she knows so many things that others don’t know…”
The more he counted, the more Ye Shuo looked at Lin Zhan as if he was looking at a bedbug.
“Look at yourself again, how can you compare to her? You have the nerve to belittle her. Who do you think you are?”
Ye Shuo took a deep breath and pulled Yao Zhi’s hand: “Let’s not waste time talking to this kind of person, let’s go!”
Looking at the backs of the two people, Huo Tianyi was stunned.
The beautiful woman was also shocked: “…Wait, he’s not really going to marry Zhi’er, is he?”
If he really asked, I think his disciple would not refuse.
Thinking of this, the six masters were not happy at all. Instead, their hearts sank and their eyes went dark.
After walking a long way, they arrived under a familiar big tree. Looking at the angry Ye Shuo, for some reason, Yao Zhi, the person involved, was not so angry anymore and even laughed.
“He scolded me, not you. Why are you so angry?”
“I just can’t bear to see others mistreat you…” I didn’t expect that Lin Zhan, who looks like a decent person, is actually such a person behind the scenes. It’s really hateful.
“No, I just forgot to ask someone to beat him up. I have to go back again.”
However, if Yao Zhi doesn’t let go, Ye Shuo will definitely not be able to go back.
“By the way…are you really a prince?”
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
For some reason, Ye Shuo’s heart suddenly trembled. He didn’t dare to look her in the eye. Ye Shuo pretended not to care and sat down on the big rock next to him: “Ah…”
“It’s been like this since I was born.”
From the outside, you couldn’t tell at all. Even now, Yao Zhi still felt like she was dreaming.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Ye Shuo couldn’t bear it. After a while, he couldn’t help but ask: “So…will you come with me?”
If it were a normal time, Ye Shuo wouldn’t mind staying with her, but after leaving the valley, his stepfather would definitely investigate the assassination. The eldest prince didn’t come, the crown prince didn’t come, but the second prince was so active in running. This gave Ye Shuo a very bad premonition, and he didn’t know who he would investigate in the end.
There is also my cheap father’s body, and my mother and Jianjian in the palace…
Once you get out of the valley, it’s two completely different worlds.
Ye Shuo looked at Yao Zhi hopefully. Yao Zhi was silent for a long time, and then she just let go of his hand.
The answer she gave at this moment was very obvious.
The chivalrous women in the martial arts world are like birds flying in the sky. Even if they indulge themselves for a while, they are still unwilling to be canaries in a cage.
Although she liked him, she didn’t want to break her wings because of him.
After a fierce struggle, the girl in red finally decided to give up.
Yao Zhi opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she looked up, she saw the young man in front of her, his eyes turning red.
