Chapter 316 This guy looks familiar
Zhao Haoxuan and Zhou Yunxi spent another whole day wandering through the streets and alleys of the capital.
Their anxious footprints were left in every corner, but Princess Zhao Yuwei seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
Wang Xinyao looked at the tired and anxious Zhao Haoxuan, her heart full of worry.
She knew very well that Zhao Haoxuan was under tremendous pressure in the process of searching for the princess.
And at night, that terrifying force that seemed to be able to devour everything could control him again at any time.
Under her persuasion, Zhao Haoxuan entered his Lingyu space at night.
This spiritual jade space is like another world, quiet and peaceful, full of mysterious spiritual fluctuations.
Zhao Haoxuan sat cross-legged in the center of the Lingyu space, his body enveloped by a faint halo. He began his arduous practice, trying to suppress the restless power in his body during the practice.
Wang Xinyao was in another part of the Lingyu space, concentrating on refining a pill to remove the charm from Zhao Haoxuan.
In front of her were various precious medicinal herbs and exquisite alchemy instruments. The flames danced under the alchemy furnace, reflecting her focused and determined face.
Every time she added medicinal herbs and every time she adjusted the temperature, it reflected her deep concern and hope for Zhao Haoxuan.
She needs to break through to the ninth-grade alchemist as soon as possible. Only in this way can she free Zhao Haoxuan from the constraints of her charm.
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, a faint ray of dawn appeared on the horizon.
Chen Jingyuan and General Xiong Yun rode their horses and galloped towards the outskirts of the capital.
It has been almost half a year since they came to the capital. They have been staying in the manor and practicing diligently. Today is the first time they have stepped out of the manor.
The reason for their departure was that their elder sister Wang Xinyao had someone deliver a portrait to them early in the morning, informing them that Princess Zhao Yuwei of the Xia Kingdom was missing and asked them to look for her in the suburbs.
They rode their horses and headed towards a remote place.
The clatter of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the early morning.
The roads in the suburbs are lined with dense woods, and the branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if telling unknown secrets.
However, their journey was soon interrupted.
Not long after they walked, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, blocking their way.
The man was dressed in rags, with disheveled hair, and looked extremely miserable, but his eyes revealed an unparalleled arrogance.
"stop!"
The man shouted loudly, and his voice echoed on the empty road.
Generals Chen Jingyuan and Xiong Yun had to pull the reins and stop their horses.
They looked at the strange man in front of them with confusion, their hearts full of vigilance.
"Leave your horses behind, you can go!"
The man spoke again, his tone full of unquestionable command.
Chen Jingyuan and General Xiong Yun looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then they looked at him as if he were an idiot.
However, when they looked closely at the person in front of them, they were shocked to find that this person was actually Chen Yingtao, the eldest prince of the Miao Kingdom.
At the same time, Chen Yingtao also discovered them.
A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, then turned into surprise: "General Xiong? Are you General Xiong?"
After Chen Yingtao was beaten by Manager Chen and everyone around him died, he suffered a series of misfortunes.
On the way back to the capital, he was angry, hungry and thirsty. He drank a bowl of water in a pavilion, but he was knocked unconscious. All his money was robbed and his horse was gone.
If he hadn't been wearing the clothes of a Miao prince, his life would have been in danger.
He has always been calculating against others since he was a child and has never experienced such a miserable situation.
"Xiong Yun greets the eldest prince!"
Although General Xiong was confused, he still politely jumped off his horse and saluted.
"Why are you here? Who is this person next to you? Where is my royal brother?"
As soon as Chen Yingtao opened his mouth, he eagerly asked about Chen Jingyuan's whereabouts. Deep down in his heart, he still had not given up his plan for Chen Jingyuan.
"Your Highness, I am also looking for the Crown Prince, but I haven't seen any sign of him."
General Xiong pretended to be helpless, then asked, "Grand Prince, what are you doing?"
Chen Yingtao's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of panic.
He stammered, "No, nothing..."
Then, he resumed his condescending demeanor and gave Xiong Yun an order:
"General Xiong, give me your horse!"
Chen Jingyuan, who had been silent all this time, sneered in his heart. He just stared at his eldest brother who was determined to kill him.
There was a cold light in his eyes and a strong urge surged in his heart, making him want to take action immediately.
But he quickly suppressed the urge.
He knew that the most urgent task was to find Princess Zhao Yuwei and he couldn't waste time on this.
Moreover, he knew very well that even if he and General Xiong could defeat Chen Yingtao together, they might not be able to kill him.
If Chen Yingtao escapes, it will alert the enemy and it will be even more difficult to deal with him in the future.
Furthermore, he could not kill Chen Yingtao without the permission of his father and mother.
Perhaps it was because he felt Chen Jingyuan's frosty gaze that Chen Yingtao felt uncomfortable all over.
"General Xiong, your servant looks familiar. Have we met before?" he asked with some confusion.
Chen Jingyuan immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I have only recently followed General Xiong."
"It is unreasonable for you to look at me like that. Quick, give me your horse."
As Chen Yingtao spoke, he was about to go forward to lead the horse.
"My apologies, Crown Prince, but we still have to go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so we can't leave the horses with you. Let's go!"
After General Xiong Yun finished speaking, he signaled Chen Jingyuan to whip his horse together.
The two men rode away on their horses, leaving behind only a cloud of flying dust and leaving the furious Chen Yingtao behind.
Chen Yingtao stamped his feet in anger and shouted loudly: "General Xiong, General Xiong, come back..."
Chen Jingyuan and General Xiong Yun continued to ride forward on horseback. After running for a while, they faintly heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.
"General Xiong, hurry, hurry, that man seems to be Shopkeeper Chen. Many people are besieging him and he's injured!"
Although it was not yet completely bright, Chen Jingyuan's eyesight was the same as Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan's, and there was no difference between night and day to him.
He recognized at a glance that the person being besieged was Shopkeeper Chen, and he became extremely anxious.
After hearing this, General Xiong Yun immediately quickened his horse's speed.
The two men rushed towards the direction of the fight, and saw that in the open space in front of them, Manager Chen was waving his weapons and fighting fiercely with a group of men in black.
Manager Chen had multiple injuries on his body, and his clothes were stained with blood, but he still resisted stubbornly and showed no intention of retreating.
Generals Chen Jingyuan and Xiong Yun joined the battle without hesitation.
Chen Jingyuan was agile and wielded the sword in his hand with great vigor. Each sword strike carried a fierce momentum, forcing back the men in black who were besieging Manager Chen.
General Xiong Yun was not to be outdone. The spear in his hand flashed with a cold light, and wherever he went, the men in black fell to the ground.
With the joint resistance of the three, the man in black gradually lost.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading man in black blew a sharp whistle and quickly evacuated with the remaining men.
Chen Jingyuan and General Xiong Yun did not chase after him, but immediately came to Manager Chen.
