Adoption brings disaster

Chapter 159

The prince's strength was truly terrifying. Prince Yong and I had been fleeing eastward for less than a cup of tea when we were caught up by the prince.

I looked at the gentle and elegant prince in front of us and couldn't help asking, "This capital is so big, how did you catch up with us?"

"This is all thanks to your Lang, Little Lang, thanks to him," the prince said with a smile. "I also happen to have a top perfumer under my command, and he just happened to find a way to track you down. I originally wanted to exchange the Outland Yangyu Stone for Qianqiu, but I didn't expect my good brother to be so greedy and actually want both."

"So you insisted that I stay with you. Did you already guess that the prince had made such an arrangement?" I asked in my mind.

After hearing this, His Royal Highness Prince Yong explained, "That's not the case. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many capable people under his command. If he really wants to find us, he must have a way. So he can't leave you alone, lest you be captured by him."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no idea we could communicate in our minds. Seeing we were both silent, he smiled and said, "This method has a drawback. It requires being within a thousand meters. Otherwise, Qianqiu would have been mine long ago."

After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he was also very regretful and said, "But my good brother, if you leave Qianqiu behind now, you can also take the Yangyu Stone from the outer domain and leave. Otherwise, you will not be able to take anything away today, and you will have to leave your life behind."

"What should we do now?" I asked fearfully, "Or you can take the Yangyu Stone from the outer domain and leave. When you win, come back to pick me up. I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make things difficult for me."

I said this in my head, but in my heart I was actually thinking that it would be nice if I was captured by the Crown Prince. At least I wouldn't have to travel around with His Royal Highness Prince Yong, sleeping in the open air.

"You delay for a while." His Royal Highness Prince Yong ignored me and said with sharp eyes looking into the darkness.

"Ah." I followed King Yong's gaze into the darkness, but saw nothing. I asked again, "Could it be that you have another trick up your sleeve?"

His Royal Highness Prince Yong did not answer me, but just asked me to buy time.

I naturally believed Prince Yong, but even looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't know how to stall for time. I could only chuckle and say, "Why don't you take the Yangyu Stone from the outer domain, but leave it there for us to take? Are you so powerful now that you have nothing to fear?"

"Of course I want this good thing, but it's a pity." The prince shook his head and said, "Zhaixing Tower said that the Yin-Yang Fish from outside the domain cannot be held by one person, otherwise it will be a disaster, so I can only let you take it."

I was also surprised when I heard this, and then said, "Why don't you just ask your men to carry it? You have so many people under you, can't you find someone to carry the stone?"

The Crown Prince chuckled and said, "Qianqiu, you are so cute. If my subordinates took it, it doesn't make any difference to me."

As soon as he said this, I immediately understood the key point. This stalemate between two people was not just a conceptual term in consciousness, but a biological person. I really lost such a big person in vain.

I had nothing left to say to delay time, so I could only laugh, and I laughed for a whole cup of tea. I laughed so hard that I started coughing, and the Crown Prince opposite me looked at me as if I were a fool, but I was still laughing.

"Don't laugh, Qianqiu." Just when I was about to stop laughing, His Royal Highness Prince Yong said, "We have to leave. Prince, goodbye."

Finally, there was no need to delay. I wasn't one to procrastinate, and it would be too embarrassing to delay like this. I was delighted when I heard this, and quickly asked, "Is there help coming?"

I was truly delighted. I didn't just think about it, I said it out loud. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "Helpers have arrived, but they're not just yours."

"I admit you're good at killing a killer organization a thousand times. But I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage in a head-on fight like this." Prince Yong said seriously, "In my opinion, Prince, you'd better forget it. Don't let all the killers you've worked so hard to train die today."

"Don't worry about that, my dear brother. Although I am not good at fighting assassins head-on, we have more people than you can resist." As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke, more than 30 assassins walked out of the shadows one after another. Judging from their temperament alone, they were all top assassins who had seen blood.

"Our Northern Army soldiers are all worth ten. I have ten of them here, so it seems like I have more men."

As soon as His Royal Highness Prince Yong finished speaking, ten soldiers with the same aura as ordinary people appeared behind us. If it weren't for their elusive lightness skills, I would have thought they were just ordinary people.

His Royal Highness Prince Yong's words are a bit shameless, and I feel a little ashamed when I hear them. However, His Royal Highness Prince Yong is serious about what he said, and I think these people are masters among masters.

The two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere was tense. However, it seemed that all this had nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Yong. He took my hand, turned around and left without even using any lightness skills.

Before leaving, he casually said, "Wu Da, take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his assassin friends. Don't neglect them. You'll have to wait on them for at least the duration of an incense stick."

I really love the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Yong turned around without caring about the life and death of others. Of course, the premise is that the person he is caring about cannot be me.

After we passed ten soldiers, Wu Da said cheerfully, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request. Seeing these people can't be fought, how much water do we have to let go to survive for an incense stick of time?"

After saying this, a group of people laughed and mocked, and then everyone fought with these killers and the prince.

His Royal Highness Prince Yong ignored the battlefield and just pulled me along slowly.

There was a crackling sound of fighting coming from behind us, but Prince Yong and I acted as if we didn't hear it. We walked forward leisurely like a couple in love.

However, I didn't find anything wrong with this feeling, because I always felt that Wuhan University's voice was somewhat familiar, so familiar that my attention was all on this voice.

"This voice sounds so familiar, but I can't remember who it is. Who is it?" I said to myself in my mind.

"You still have time to care about Wu Da? I'm just pretending. You're truly so confident." His Royal Highness Prince Yong said, "Let's go quickly. Those assassins are no match for Wu Da and his men. But there's also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm afraid Wu Da and his men won't be able to defeat them."

Oh my god, I always thought that His Royal Highness Prince Yong was sure to win, but it turns out he was just pretending. Now he has no time to think about who Wu Da is. The most important thing is to run away as soon as possible.

The underworld people, officers and soldiers, and low-level killers were all killing each other in the south of the city, while Qiansha's top killers and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were all entangled by Wu Da and his men on the edge of the imperial city.

It was extremely easy for His Royal Highness Prince Yong and I to leave the city. I was not nervous at all. I even had a good sleep lying on His Royal Highness Prince Yong's back.

When I woke up, it was already dawn. The sun had just emerged from the top of the mountain. The sunlight shining on the tables of the tea stalls on the official road had a unique flavor, while Xiaotian and Xiaodi were busy with work.

I didn't expect that Xiaodi could cook such delicious noodles. His Royal Highness Prince Yong and I have already gone to the Disguise Room. When he saw us, he first saluted excitedly, and then insisted on making us a bowl of breakfast.

I was feeling a little hungry at this time, and we had been busy in the capital for most of the night yesterday. I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to spare anyone to hunt us down.

Of course, the main reason why we had tea here was that His Royal Highness Prince Yong thought the scenery was beautiful and insisted on taking me to the tea stall to have tea before leaving.

Soon three bowls of noodles were served. Prince Yong and I sat down to eat noodles, while Chen Shiguan stood by and ate noodles as a junior. Xiaotian and Xiaodi stood by and served us.

Just when Chen Shiguan was about to eat noodles, the bowl in his hand was suddenly snatched away by someone.

The man grabbed the bowl, sat next to me, slurped a mouthful of noodles, and said, "You're such a jerk, Yu Chongguang! You caused such a scene with Qianqiu last night. You didn't care about Qianqiu's safety at all."

Prince Yong was not willing to take the blame for this sudden incident. He looked at the man coldly and said, "Qianqiu and I have been together for over ten years, so naturally we will live and die together. Unlike you, we have only been together for a short time, and naturally we will run away when disaster strikes."

Seeing they were about to start another verbal fight, I quickly changed the subject and said, "Xiaotian Xiaodi, how did you open a tea stall here? Didn't I say I gave you a decent-sized farm? I think supporting yourself shouldn't be a problem."

"Your Highnesses are so kind and compassionate. Unfortunately, I am a rootless person. You have rewarded me and my brother with a good farm. Naturally, we will never have to worry about food." Xiaotian said respectfully.

"It's just that His Highness Qianqiu often teaches His Highness Prince Yong that people must always do something. If they are always idle, they will get into trouble. I can't compare with His Highness Prince Yong, so I can only set up a tea stall to make it convenient for the people passing by. It can be considered as something to do."

The word "teaching" was really inappropriate, but His Royal Highness Prince Yong was not unhappy. Instead, he said happily: "Qianqiu, every word is a pearl. If you remember a few, it will be enough for your whole life."

"Of course. Father is a man of great talent. Although I didn't receive your teachings, Manager Li often tells us some of what father said, and I benefit a lot from listening to him." Historian Chen said regretfully.

"It's a pity that such a talented person is only a minister, unable to serve the country and the people in the court. This is truly a misfortune for the country and the world."

"Not necessarily." said His Royal Highness Prince Yong.

"Oh." Historian Chen, upon hearing this, also became interested and asked, "I'm also well-read and have been trying to find a way to get my father an official position at the court, but I've been having trouble finding a solution. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Yong has another idea?"

Thank you so much. I finally retired, and you found a way to re-hire me to continue working. You are really a good son to your father.

If I could go back to the past, I would really let you die with your father, I thought unhappily.

"That's not a solution. Laws and systems are all determined by humans." His Royal Highness Prince Yong put down his bowl and said, "Others can determine them, so why can't I? When I conquer the world, I'll place a chair for Qianqiu next to the dragon throne in the Golden Palace. Then whatever Qianqiu says will be the truth. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

I really want to thank you two. I just wanted to retire and live a happy life as a rich man. I didn't expect that you two wanted me to work myself to death. I should have followed the prince. At least he wouldn't think about making me work, and he wouldn't be lazy himself and make me work overtime until I die.

This person is unbearable. I just thought of the prince, and the prince appeared in front of us, sitting at the table next to us, pointing at me and saying, "Shopkeeper, give me a bowl of noodles too. I'm a little hungry. The money will be charged to Qianqiu."

"Sir, our shop is closed today. There's a village not far ahead. Please walk a little further. I'm so sorry, so sorry." Xiaotian said hurriedly, nodding and bowing. When he looked up, he was so scared that he fell to the ground and took several steps back. "Your Highness, Your ...

I was about to have a stress reaction from the prince's mysterious presence, and when I heard these words, I was so frightened that I turned over the bowl and hid behind His Royal Highness Prince Yong.

My mind was still full of complaints, "I told you to run, but you insisted on seeing the scenery. Now look, he's caught up with us again. What should I do now?"

Now His Royal Highness Prince Yong was at his wit's end and could only say in a muffled voice, "I'll hold him back, you go first."

I really wanted to run away by myself, but I didn't have the nerve to agree directly. I politely said, "Goodbye. We are father and son and we will live and die together. How can I run away by myself?"

His Royal Highness Prince Yong was so moved by these words that he didn't play by the rules at all. He took my hand and was about to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was completely stunned.

If I don't run away, Qingyu will have no choice but to face the prince.

The prince was not afraid of the three of us. He just smiled and said, "Qianqiu Qingyu, although your martial arts skills are not weak, you are not qualified to fight me. You'd better retreat. If I accidentally hurt you later, don't blame me."

"I usually ask you to practice, but you always slack off. Now you're at your wit's end." A man slowly approached on the official road and said, "You all should go. I'll play with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Death Constable, are you really going to help Prince Yong?" The Crown Prince said, his eyes filled with hatred. "You are old, it is better not to get involved, otherwise it would be pitiful to see your body exposed in the wilderness."

"I'm old and battered, how could I possibly help anyone?" Death Constable pounded his leg and said, "But I only have this one disciple. It's better for him to be left exposed in the wilderness than to have no successor. Today, I have no choice but to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Looking at the old and frail detective, I wanted to be polite to him, but I was afraid that he would be like Prince Yong, so I had to hide behind Prince Yong and said nothing.

Until the King of Yong said: "The great kindness of the divine detective will be repaid in the future."

I also pretended to thank the detective, and then followed King Yong and his men away in a small boat behind the tea stall.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
