Chapter 298 Honghua teases Xiaolu
A cold rain fell all night in the northern border of Xiyue Kingdom. In the early morning, there was thick fog and a thin layer of white frost covered the muddy ground.
"Your Highness!"
In the military camp outside Bei'an City of Xiyue State, Yan Zongcai came out of the training ground and saw Yu Cheng running up to him in a hurry with a letter in his hand. He could not help but frown and asked sternly:
"What happened?"
"Yes... it's Miss Si Yao..."
Before Yu Cheng could finish his hesitant words, Yan Zong's stern face immediately showed worry. He took the letter that Yu Cheng handed over, and after reading half a line, he was shocked like a bolt from the blue.
Apart from the time he learned that his mother was seriously ill, this was the second time he felt fear. Just like before, while praying in his heart that Si Yao would be blessed by heaven, he also hurriedly turned around to find Mr. Fan, intending to explain some matters and then go to Jingsong Kingdom in person.
"Xiaobai has always been calm and steady in his work. I didn't expect that he would be tricked this time. I don't know who the other party is? What are they going to do by kidnapping Miss Siyao?" Yu Cheng followed closely behind the prince and said with a worried look on his face.
Yu Cheng's words made Yan Zong's face even gloomier. He clenched his teeth, his hawk-like eyes turned red with anger, and his fists clenched involuntarily, making a creaking sound. No matter who the other party was, if he dared to hurt Si Yao in the slightest, he, Yan Zong, would get back at him double the amount, no matter where he went.
Seeing that His Highness did not say anything, Yu Cheng could feel His Highness's rage even though he was following behind. Miss Si Yao was the apple of His Highness' eye. To have her suddenly abducted would be like tearing out his heart. Anyone would be angry.
"Your Highness!"
Before returning to the tent, Yan Zong saw Mr. Fan suddenly walking towards him quickly, so he couldn't wait to speak coldly:
"Something happened to Si Yao, I have to go to Jingsong Kingdom."
"What happened to Miss Si Yao?" Mr. Fan asked hurriedly with concern.
"Miss Si Yao was abducted by a mysterious woman and her whereabouts are unknown." Yu Cheng, who was following behind Yan Zong, replied nervously.
"What? Aren't Xiaobai and the others following us?" Mr. Fan was even more shocked when he heard that. He frowned and continued to ask Xiang Yucheng.
"Please read the letter, sir. I will leave the military camp affairs to you for the time being." Yan Zong was so anxious that he had no patience to wait for the two men to ask and answer. He handed the letter in his hand to Mr. Fan directly. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Mr. Fan sigh:
"I'm afraid your highness can't leave."
After Mr. Fan finished speaking, he also handed a letter to Yan Zong, and continued with a worried brow: "General Da Xi stationed in Yuanzhou reported that the Western Rong suddenly invaded our border in large numbers and had seized Fengling and several other cities. As soon as they entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Moreover, the Western Rong came with such a fierce force that General Da Xi could not resist for a while, so he asked Your Highness for help."
"What? The Western Rong dared to invade our Xiyue Kingdom at this time?" Mr. Fan's words indeed made Yan Zong shocked and angry again, and Yu Cheng was even more angry and gnashed his teeth.
Yan Zong closed his eyes in anger. On one side was his beloved woman, and on the other was the urgent military situation. Although he was entangled and troubled for a while, he had to face it rationally. As a military general and the prince stationed in the north of Xiyue Kingdom, defending the country was his primary responsibility. How could he ignore the safety of Xiyue Kingdom's territory and people because of his personal feelings?
"Take some secret guards with you and go to Jingsong Kingdom in person. Make sure to find Si Yao." Yan Zong had no choice but to order Yu Cheng to go to Jingsong Kingdom.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Miss Si Yao has saved so many lives and must have great blessings. I will find Miss Si Yao as soon as possible." After Yu Cheng comforted Prince Zong, he turned around and left without stopping.
He knew that His Highness had made a difficult decision, so he must not let His Highness down.
After watching Yu Cheng leave, Yan Zong looked back at the sky in the south and sighed secretly, then turned around resolutely and went back to the training ground with Mr. Fan. Not long after, drums were sounded in the military camp.
In the south of Jingsong State, Xiaobai, Xiaolu and Xinnu, three secret guards, were still searching everywhere for Si Yao's whereabouts, but they found nothing. Moreover, the south was not small, and searching from town to town with only three people would undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket.
That day, Xiaolu was walking alone along the streets of the city asking for Si Yao's whereabouts. Suddenly, he saw a familiar black shadow flash into an alley. He hurriedly followed without thinking much.
When the two of them entered the deserted alley one after the other, the black shadow suddenly stopped, turned slowly and showed a charming smile to the path.
"It's you! Where did you take Sister Si Yao?" When Xiaolu saw the face of the black shadow, he realized that it was the mysterious woman who had attacked him with drugs and abducted Sister Si Yao ten days ago. He immediately pointed at the woman in black and asked angrily.
"It's not good to be so arrogant at such a young age. You will suffer a great loss in the future." Honghua sneered at Xiaolu's anger. She put her hands on her hips and walked towards him with a provocative look on her face.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. When Xiaolu saw the woman approaching him, he was so scared that he quickly covered his nose and mouth and took a few steps back.
“Hahahaha…” Seeing Xiaolu avoiding her like a frightened bird, Honghua laughed triumphantly. It really was fun to tease little kids.
"Hey, where did you take my sister Si Yao?" Honghua's smile angered Xiaolu even more. If he wasn't afraid that the woman had drugs on her, he would have made her pay.
"Your sister Si Yao? Let me think which one it is?" Hong Hua was playful again, and after a sly smile, he pretended to be serious and said, "But that cold beauty? I sold her."
"What did you say?" Xiaolu's face turned pale with fright when he heard it, and he pointed at Honghua and shouted angrily.
"Don't worry, she is beautiful and has superb medical skills. I will naturally not treat her badly. I will find her a wife in a wealthy family." Honghua continued to tease.
"You evil woman, you dare to touch Sister Si Yao, I will cut you into pieces!" Xiaolu was furious. He immediately pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and jumped towards Honghua.
"Hmph, you little brat, you're so arrogant. If you cut me into pieces, you'll never find your sister Si Yao in this lifetime." Honghua was not afraid. He continued to smile nonchalantly while hiding.
"Tell me, where is Sister Si Yao now?" After being reminded by the other party, Xiaolu calmed down. He stopped where he was but the dagger was still pointed at Honghua, and asked angrily.
"With such skills, you must be more than an ordinary medicine boy, right?" Honghua shook his sleeves but did not answer directly. Instead, he glanced at Xiaolu and asked suspiciously.
"Hmph, Sister Si Yao is a disciple of Sanxiu Pharmacy in Xiyue Country. Our owner, Mr. Sanxiu, can be said to be a local miracle doctor, and the medicine boys in the pharmacy are all masters. You'd better tell us the truth about Sister Si Yao's whereabouts, otherwise Sanxiu Pharmacy will never let you off easily!" Hearing that the evil woman doubted his identity, Xiaolu was filled with anger, but he was quick-witted and made up an explanation that could both cover up for himself and intimidate the other party.
"Sanxiu Pharmacy? Miracle doctor?" Xiaolu's threat did not scare Honghua, but made her eyes sparkle again. Yes, Siyao's medical skills were so amazing, why didn't she think of asking her mentor? Honghua muttered to herself and threw the letter written by Siyao to Xiaolu.
"I was just teasing you just now. Your sister Si Yao is fine, so you don't have to worry." After Hong Hua finished speaking, she suddenly sprinkled a handful of medicine powder towards Xiao Lu.
Xiaolu was prepared this time and reacted quickly, dodging in time, but in the blink of an eye the woman disappeared again. Xiaolu stamped his feet in anger and quickly opened the letter in his hand:
It takes some time to meet a patient, don't worry.
"Sister Si Yao, you didn't write it clearly so how can I find you?" After reading the few short words Sister Si Yao gave him, Xiao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he changed his mind and felt relieved at least knowing that Sister Si Yao was safe and sound.
