Chapter 180 The Grand Princess of Yuewu Kingdom
Not long after, the gang members left the scene one after another. Some left alone, while others left in groups and each of them set out on their own journey home. Although the battle was fierce, it also allowed them to make many new friends and their relationship became closer.
The remaining attackers also fled in all directions. Luo Lingyue frowned, looked at Xiao Jinghan with a puzzled look and asked, "Why did you let these people go?"
Xiao Jinghan slowly lowered his head, rested his chin lightly on the back of Luo Lingyue's head, raised the corner of his mouth, and chuckled softly: "Because they are all people sent by Xiao Jingyi. If no one goes back to tell him that the mission has failed, wouldn't that be too easy for him? It would be better to let them go back and make things difficult for him!" After saying that, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.
An Junyuan frowned and said to Luo Lingfeng solemnly, "We have to work harder and hurry to the capital!"
Luo Lingfeng nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said in agreement: "That's right! Xiao Jinghan is like a living target now, and his situation is very dangerous. It would be better for us to escort him safely to the capital as soon as possible!"
After that, An Junyuan and Luo Lingfeng led the group to gallop forward. Mu Hongxiu followed closely behind Luo Lingfeng on horseback. At this moment, Luo Lingfeng suddenly turned around, looked at Mu Hongxiu and asked, "Miss Mu, are you really going to the capital with us?"
Mu Hongxiu drove the horse and came to Luo Lingfeng's side and walked side by side with him. With a smile on her face, she replied: "I grew up in the Holy Sword Sect and have never had the opportunity to go to the capital. In addition to escorting you to the capital this time, I also want to take this opportunity to travel around the capital and experience the local customs and practices there."
Luo Lingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly: "In that case, Miss Mu might as well come to the General's Mansion and live with Xiao Qi. Then she can take you to tour Shangjing City!"
Mu Hongxiu smiled, as bright and charming as a blooming spring flower: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Luo Liu, but I have important matters to attend to in the capital, so I can't bother you."
Luo Lingfeng showed a little disappointment on his face, and sighed, "Well, the General's Mansion welcomes Miss Mu to visit at any time. If you need anything, you can also come to the clinic I opened in the capital - Miao Ren Tang to find me."
Mu Hongxiu nodded to show that she understood: "Yes, I will definitely remember what Mr. Luo Liu said."
At this time, Luo Lingyue twisted her body gently on the horse's back, seeming to be a little uncomfortable. Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan whispered to comfort her: "Don't be impatient, be patient for a while, and when we get to the next town ahead, we will go buy a carriage."
At this moment, in the valley behind them, a large team with the flag of Yuewu Kingdom was heading towards them. An Junyuan frowned and said, "This is the Yuewu Kingdom's envoys. I heard that the one coming this time is Yuewu Kingdom's princess. Xiaoliu, let's let the Yuewu Kingdom's envoys go first!"
Luo Lingfeng turned his gaze towards the magnificent Yuewu Kingdom delegation, raised his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I think we should just follow the Yuewu Kingdom delegation back to Beijing. With such a large amulet by our side, I'm sure no one will dare to come and assassinate us!"
An Junyuan turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jinghan behind him, then lowered his voice to remind Luo Lingfeng: "Have you forgotten that there is an irreconcilable blood feud between the Yuewu royal family and the Xiao family? Who knows how much hatred this Yuewu princess has for Xiao Jinghan in her heart!"
As they were talking, suddenly, a eunuch dressed in gorgeous clothes came running hurriedly from the Yuewu Kingdom's delegation. His voice was sharp and delicate: "Excuse me, who is Prince Xiao? The Grand Princess of Yuewu Kingdom wants to see Prince Xiao!"
Seeing this, An Junyuan and Luo Lingfeng immediately drove their horses to Xiao Jinghan's side.
Xiao Jinghan tightened the reins, looked at the eunuch calmly, and asked, "Why does the Grand Princess want to see this prince?"
The eunuch showed an awkward smile on his face: "The eldest princess said that there is a deep connection between the Yuewu royal family and the Wu'an Palace. She specially prepared a precious gift for Prince Xiao!"
When Xiao Jinghan heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he sneered: "Then lead the way!"
However, the eunuch hurriedly shouted: "Prince Xiao, please dismount and go see the princess in person!"
Xiao Jinghan swept a stern gaze across the eunuch and responded in a cold voice: "My fiancée is injured, and it is not appropriate for her to dismount at this moment!" His tone was firm and unquestionable, as if he was telling the other party that his position would never waver.
The muscles on the eunuch's face twitched slightly, and he seemed a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and continued, "Then please wait for a moment, gentlemen! Let Prince Xiao and this lady go to see the princess together!"
Hearing this, An Junyuan and Luo Lingfeng drew their swords almost at the same time. An Junyuan's face was gloomy and frightening. He glared at the eunuch and said sternly: "We are here to protect Prince Xiao in accordance with His Majesty's order! If you dare to stop us, then Prince Xiao will never go to see your eldest princess!"
The eunuch pursed his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and said softly: "There's no need to be so nervous, please follow me!" After that, he turned and walked forward, motioning everyone to follow him.
Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue looked at each other, and Xiao Jinghan caught a trace of worry in Luo Lingyue's eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a light smile: "Don't worry! It's okay! She doesn't dare to do anything!" His voice was full of confidence and calmness, as if everything was under his control.
Xiao Jinghan patted the horse's back and rode with Luo Lingyue into the Yuewu Kingdom's delegation. Luo Lingfeng and An Junyuan followed closely behind, looking a little nervous.
Xiao Jinghan drove the horse and slowly came to the carriage of the eldest princess. The eldest princess sat in the gorgeous carriage with the windows closed, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Xiao Jinghan turned over and got off the horse, his movements were elegant and neat. Then, he carefully helped Luo Lingyue off the horse, as if she was an extremely precious treasure that needed special care.
Luo Lingyue dismounted lightly, her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth. She glanced at Xiao Jinghan gratefully, her eyes revealing her trust and reliance on him.
The eldest princess sat in the carriage and did not show her face. She asked softly, "Prince Xiao, do you need me to send the imperial physician to treat your fiancée?" Her tone was full of concern.
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess! I already have a disciple of the genius doctor by my side, and he will take good care of my fiancée's condition. There is no need for you to worry about it, Princess!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess chuckled and said, "I heard about this when I was in Nanyi that Master Xiao was suffering from a hidden illness. However, with the careful treatment of the genius doctor's disciples, I believe he will recover! This time, I have specially brought this statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Fertility, as a gift to Master Xiao! I hope it will bring him good luck and offspring." After that, she ordered someone to present an exquisite statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Fertility.
