Chapter 166

166 Follow the Trail

Heeee!!

The horse neighing, the sun already lights up, when the Crown Prince and several of his trained guards had been riding all night following ChenMing’s instructions, and they had arrived at two cities before SuiLian, in the entourage seen aYa who also joins with them, the girl sat on a dashing large black horse, same as her who’s ready to put on her battle clothes, not inferior to LuoXiang who was on his white horse at the very front who paused for a moment to look around.

The young guard came to report quickly.

“Report Your Majesty, the wood trail is very clear along the way and leads towards the forest” reported the little guard, BeiYau who was beside the Crown Prince turned his head.

“Your Majesty, it seems that whoever it is is deliberately leaving a trail that is clear enough for us to follow, since the last time in the city where many eyewitnesses saw a group of people dressed in black with a small carriage and giant that seem to purposely attract attention walking behind it, does, this was indeed planned by DuGu Ye to lure Your Majesty?”

LuoXiang thought, his eyes sharp, pulled the reins of his horse,

“Let her do what she wants Bei, most importantly now is to find YingYing, whether that person is involved or not with Hua’s family killer, now YingYing is in their hands”

ChenMing and aYa are approaching.

“Your Majesty, BaiYing’s traces are in the forest, this forest, is a direct border with SuiLian city, it is said, the location of the Lost Palace is around this forest”

.....

ChenMing’s words made LuoXiang look at him with big eyes.

“Lost Palace? It means?”

Chen Ming nodded.

“Yes, it is the great WahYe palace, as it said, according to my great-grandmother, the WahYe palace was not burned and collapsed, because no one has been able to find the remains until now, but instead the palace was disappeared, His Majesty the great King YenHui before being caught had buried palace into the land and mountains, servant, not sure how the story goes, this, my great-grandmother who knows for sure”

AYa approached.

“What, that person purposely brought Ying’er to this forest to find the Lost Palace? If it’s true that the memory coin can store all information, of course, the location and mechanism for restoring the Lost palace are also in the coin.”

LuoXiang was amazed, how did the princess find out about this matter so quickly?

“Princess aYa you..”

AYa pointed at ChenMing.

“Your Majesty, along the way I have asked young master Chen a lot, to be able to save Ying’er I also need to know, if that is the case, the probability of Ying’er surviving is still very high, because he is very useful to whoever takes him”

ChenMing lowered his head, gripping his tracking coin while frowning deeply.

“Young master Chen, what are you hiding?” LuoXiang asked.

ChenMing raised his head, looking at LuoXiang, as well as BeiYau and aYa who were waiting for his answer.

“Eh, according to my grandmother’s story, in this world, we as WahYe descendants must be very wary of this person. According to her, several generations above us, many have lost their lives because of this person’s ambition, and since then, this person was completely expelled from the WahYe family, it’s likely, he, the who was the one behind BaiYing’s kidnapping”

“Whoever it is, we don’t have much time to think about it young master Chen, now our priority is to find YingYing first, as to whether he wants to find the Lost palace, that’s his business, come on Bei, let’s just follow the trace” cried the Crown Prince then pulled his reins to continue their way, BeiYau nodded, he raised his hand to his men who were moving with him.

“Let’s go!” he exclaimed.

AYa saw ChenMing, then pulled the reins of her horse following the group.

“Come on young master Chen, we have to get Ying’er back”

......

Klop Klop Klop.

The very simple little horse carriage walked down the obscure path in the middle of the deeper forest, sitting with his head resting on ShinYa’s shoulder, BaiYing who’s slowly opened his eyes.

“Your Majesty, you are awake”

He’s ShinYa, when BaiYing’s eyes were clear, he’s surprised at what was that man doing there with him? Was he also being taken as a prisoner? The carriage swayed a bit hard, BaiYing had to hold ShinYa’s hand so as not to crash, the man grabbed BaiYing’s shoulder to hold him.

“Master Shin, where are they taking us?” asked BaiYing in a hoarse voice.

ShinYa pointed out the curtain which was slightly swaying, more or less showing the outside scenery which was almost all trees.

Best

“It seems like, we’re heading into the Cloud forest”

There’s a voice called outside the carriage.

“Stop!” YeMu’s voice,

The carriage entourage stopped, not far in front of them, in the middle of the road that was getting narrow, a few people closed the path, some people in luxurious clothes which sitting on their horses, YeMu who was on her horse smirked at the person she’s been waiting for.

“Hey, you guys, waiting for you to be here, where is, the Viceroy? Why not come with you guys?” she asked,

Inside the carriage, ShinYa parted the curtains to see who the girl met in the middle of the forest like this, several men sitting on their horses, one of them was quite conspicuous in his red clothes, BaiYing joined in watching, his eyes widened seeing who it was.

“He? What is that person doing here?” BaiYing asked, he clearly recognized the big man who’s sitting on the horse, who was now looking intently in his direction, who was none other than Eunuch Sheng.

“Lost Palace is located in another part of the forest, to get there one has to go around the forest and get out, Miss DuGu, you know you have gone the wrong way? The Viceroy ordered that we meet in SuiLian city and enter from there, from here the journey will be very long.”

YeMu smiled at the expressionless eunuch’s words.

“Hehe, eunuch Sheng, you know me, right? I am, a person who loves to travel, this is fun, think of it as enjoying the trip while seeing the scenery”

“Don’t play games Miss DuGu, don’t let your ambition ruin the Viceroy’s plans, you know he will be very angry if the plan to break the seal of the Lost Palace is ruined because of you”

YeMu laughed.

“Hehehehe, this eunuch, you guys take it easy, what could happen? At least the kid lost his life, besides, the Viceroy doesn’t need him as long as he can unlock the secret in the memory coin right? I’ve got a lot of his blood, I think this is more than enough to find the location of the palace”

ShinYa pulled his lips.

“Fools, what do they think they can do with that blood?”

BaiYing held ShinYa’s clothes, his eyes looked anxiously.

“Master Shin, what is that person going to do? If Eunuch Sheng was here, the person referred to as the Viceroy, was it really senior advisor YueWang? So, he’s the one who killed Mother, and is also a member of the Ying’er family?” he asked.

BaiYing’s hand let go of his grip, realizing that this person was right in front of his eyes, he even smiled at him a couple of times, that very vicious and heartless man, ShinYa held BaiYing’s hand.

“Your Majesty, at this time, we must first think about how to escape, after arriving at the other side of the forest, I am afraid things will get worse, the Viceroy is very crazy, he can do anything to fulfill his wish, including killing his own family”

BaiYing clenched his fists, swallowing his saliva whole.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince must have been very anxious, with the traces left by sister Mu’er, she deliberately lured him here, I don’t care about my own life, but, His Highness the Crown Prince, don’t let the bad things happen to him”
