Chapter 34: Lost Him
LuoXiang blocked the sword strike aimed directly at him, the man appeared out of nowhere and tried to grab BaiYing’s hand.
“Ting Ting Ting Ting!”
LuoXiang managed to take down the one who had invaded them and fought the others, BaiYing’s servants did not move away from him even though neither of them could fight to protect him while BaiYing was still in shock and curling up in silence, he’s mind goes blank.
“Your Majesty”
Some men surrounded BeiYau, he couldn’t get close to Luo Xiang who was being attacked by several people at once, on the other hand, Luo Xiang was also worried about BaiYing who was in danger.
“YingYing”
BaiYing’s eyes opened wide, realizing the dangerous situation the moment he heard The Crown Prince shout at him and was surrounded by a lot of people at once, what could he do?
.....
“Y-Your Majesty” he couldn’t help anything, he was about to stand up from the wall when the black attackers lunged in.
Best
“Krekkk!”
LuoXiang was too far away, he ran towards BaiYing, the attackers managed to get close to him.
“YingYing!”
As the man drew the sword at BaiYing who was still stunned, Luo Xiang rushed in and stood among that figure, aiming his sword and instantly slashed the black-clothed figure’s neck, blood spurting up to stain the walls.
BaiYing’s eyes widened, Luo Xiang was standing right in front of him holding the sword that stretched out for him and block the sword with his chest, even so, the Crown Prince could still stand firmly, he did not give up.
“Your Majesty!”
BaiYing shouted, his eyes widened seeing the blood that came out from LuoXiang’s wound.
LuoXiang turned around and smiled at him, telling the boy that he was fine and there was no need to worry, but he didn’t have much time to look at BaiYing as other figures kept coming and attacking him.
The attacks did not stop there, after the fire arrows spurt to the house, the men in the black keep entering while the house was almost entirely on fire, the flames spread to the ceiling and covered the walls, raging like a monster that ate everything. BaiYing feels dizzy, this is all a dream, this must be a nightmare, his body seemed to float so lightly as a feather and unable to control himself anymore, like his world turned upside down and keep spinning, unstoppable.
“Your Honour!”
The sound of chaos gathered together, Yan and Bi’s screams, the sound of clinking swords, the sound of flames burning, BaiYing falling, as he was about to fall to the floor, when someone caught him.
“Oh”
A person, definitely not LuoXiang, he could still see LuoXiang’s anxious face as he lost consciousness, his voice echoing in his head.
“No! YingYing!”
LuoXiang shouted, the black-clothed figure grabbed BaiYing and sped up quickly, he’s too late!.
“YingYing!”
LuoXiang tried to chase him but a burning beam suddenly fell and covered his path.
In an instant, he lost the figure who’s carrying BaiYing which jumped to the roof and disappeared.
“Bei! Chase that person!” shouted LuoXiang.
It was a big mess, all the figures in all black clothes retreated but the fire was getting bigger, everyone was trying to save themselves from the house that was almost engulfed in red flames quickly.
“Insolent, YingYing!”
LuoXiang’s rage echoed out of the entire house, but it’s useless, the figure in black already flew away. Where could LuoXiang chase him?
........
Prang!
Any object on the table fell and smashed.
The sound of a chair breaking,
Brukk!
A person, the large body man dressed in black slammed into the chairs and tables at the interrogation room, but even his face was battered but the person none other than LuoXiang still didn’t give him any mercy, his men lifted the man’s limp body and sat him back down while LuoXiang hit him again several times.
Blood splattered on the floor of the detention room, but the man was still steadfast, did not speak a word even though all the bones in his body were probably crushed by now.
LuoXiang was in a rage, his face was red with anger, this was nothing compared to the heat in his heart ready to blow up, BeiYau had never seen such an angry Crown Prince before, he could probably kill anyone right now.
Finally, BeiYau grabbed LuoXiang’s panting hand, his left hand was still bleeding from the sword stab wound to his shoulder, and he could still muster all his strength to hit that person, his breath like a bull which ready to attack because of his anger.
“Your Majesty, please try to calm down, Your Majesty is hurt”
LuoXiang pulled out BeiYau’s sword at his waist, aimed it at the neck of the man who was still looking at him sharply, there was no trembling in his eyes, LuoXiang knew, it was no use digging for information but BaiYing was in their hands, he failed to protect him.
“Tell me where your friends took my concubine, where are they?!”
The tip of the sword stuck to the man’s neck, even though it’s going to slash through his neck, the man did not seem the least bit afraid, he seemed to be challenging Luo Xiang to kill him.
Luo Xiang’s anger was so intense that all the veins on his head popped out, with a hand holding the hilt he slashed through the man’s neck without hesitation.
“Sreett !!”
Blood spurted up, splash to BeiYau who was standing near beside him, all saw how the big man fell with his neck almost cut off, still struggling for a while on the floor before dying, the sword then dropped so hard right beside his lifeless body.
After that, LuoXiang’s body was in a daze, his anger kept him afloat even though he lost so much from his wound that even made his clothes wet, BeiYau held him.
“Your Highness”
LuoXiang clenched his fists, his chest ached, not his bleeding hands, but his heart as he recalled BaiYing’s last glance right before that person took him.
“Heh YingYing”
Until finally he fell to the chair behind him.
“Your Majesty, please return to the room to treat the wounds, we will continue to find out where they took the concubine Hua”
LuoXiang failed, he failed to protect BaiYing, even though he promised him.
. ... ...
The waterfall flows and falls lightly from the top of the cliff, birds with large shapes and attractive colors fly around, some perched on the large tree trunk that sticks out near the falling water so that they can wet their feathers and bathed, a beautiful voice rang through the valley.
Where under the valley, beside the river where the high waterfall falls, there is a quite spacious and beautiful hut, although it’s only made of wood and rattan a cottage with several rooms, including porches facing to the waterfall looks so comfortable, the wind blew the soft and light curtains made of colorful cotton fabrics that matched the other flowers that grew around them, some little chicken roamed with their chicks enjoying the lush grounds which were also inhabited by several other creatures such as insects and toads that perched on a lotus leaves in the middle of the pond between the two huts.
The wind waved BaiYing’s hair gently, who was still sleeping soundly on the rattan cot in front of the large window facing the waterfall, it was a very calm atmosphere.
Someone washed his face with a warm cloth, a clean face without the slightest makeup covering it, his clothes had been changed to commoner’s, cotton fabrics with a light brown color combined in white, the magnificent hair tie he used to wear had been replaced with ordinary cloth ribbons.
He was not a Concubine Hua who was very eye-catching, at the time he’s only a sixteen-year-old young man with an innocent and cute face who had not yet regained consciousness, nobody can deny how his face still looked stunning in the warm sunlight that morning.
A person sitting on the edge of the divan washed BaiYing’s hands with a wet cloth, slowly raised his body to caress BaiYing’s front hair, and washed his forehead, the figure of a young man dressed like other YueYang people with an unpretentious face and couldn’t stop smiling when he saw BaiYing from a very close distance.
“Heh Ying’er brother”
