Chapter 721 - 721 Snow In Li.

721 Snow In Li.

The winter wind blows from afar. Flying a part of the furry collar of the cold coat that Luo Xiang was wearing. Imperceptibly entering the cold winter in the country of Li.

Bei Yau approached and stopped behind the Crown Prince who was standing looking far in front where the White Fox forest lay in the distance. White snow started to cover the usually green and lush forest. And it was the first snow to fall in the country after decades of not having snow. Is this a miracle, or is it a disaster?

“Your Majesty, General Lin Mo asked for permission to depart back to the capital, everyone is already in the field waiting for Your Highness to send them off,” said the young guard lowering his head.

Luo Xiang exhaled, seeing hot steam coming out with a sigh, he tried to calm down, as calm as the Crown Prince usually is, but, he still couldn’t cover himself up when he was feeling very anxious.

“Bei, go back with General Lin Mo, and wait for me in the palace, I will go there with Bai Ying later.”

Bei Yau didn’t raise his head, he knew how much the Crown Prince was worried about the Young King, his little concubine who had not seen a trace for three months. That was very strange, because according to the witness near the border leading to the White Fox forest, three months ago there was indeed a young man in a beautiful white robe, wearing a white veil with silver embroidery, leading a big black horse crossing the forest asking about the direction of the White Fox valley in the middle of the forest. But no matter how many times he and the Crown Prince passed through the forest looking for the path, they still couldn’t find it.

“Your Highness, I will wait here with Your Highness, after all, Li palace’s inner affairs have not cooled down even though Her Highness has recovered. The two princes could have thought about rebelling again. Although, it is very unlikely that it will happen again.”

The battle between the 1st Prince’s and 2nd Prince’s camps ended shortly after the enraged Crown Prince, ordered Bei Yau to drive the two armies back with just one move.

A few days ago, the 1st Prince’s blue army and the 2nd Prince’s yellow army had gathered in front of the palace gate scrambling to enter. Apparently, both of them were very stubborn and didn’t look at the agreement they signed a few days ago. The two armies in great numbers proudly marched on either side separated by the main road entering the palace.

.....

Since the feud had started to get worse, both of them were kicked out of the palace and settled their matters outside before deciding who deserved to enter the palace as the victor. But this time the two sides, who indeed have many loyal troops on each side, are fighting for the last time for this position. Mercilessly.

The number of soldiers led by each of the generals who were on each side was no joke. The entire front field was covered by the two armies lined up neatly holding flags in each hand.

As both sides prepared to attack each other, the gate was opened from the inside. Crown Prince Luo Xiang and Bei Yau were seen standing in the middle of the road blocking the entrance.

The First Prince watched with big eyes, he prepared to charge forward but the Second Prince got ahead of him. Eventually, the two met in the middle and prepared to fight again.

“How dare you advance first”

The two were about to draw their respective swords when the voice of the Crown Prince was heard.

“Which of you succeeds in cutting off his opponent’s head, he will be able to enter the palace,” his words made the two princes stop their movements. Looking at the Crown Prince with sharp eyes.

“What does it mean? Who do you have the right to determine who is allowed to enter and who is not?” cried the first prince. The second prince nodded.

“That’s right, like what we said, you all have no right to interfere in this matter. Get out of our way!” he exclaimed.

The Crown Prince didn’t move from his place. While the two princes began to glance at their men to move forward in unison to attack, somehow the two of them had to fight today, no matter what.

“Advance!” cried the two Generals together.

But they had not yet met in the middle, a huge energy pushed everyone. Makes the silver and gold armored warriors scatter very lightly like dry leaves.

“Ah!”

Crashed far enough to hover in the air before falling back to the ground hard, unfortunately, they were not dry leaves.

The soldiers from both sides fell piled on the ground groaning in pain. The First Prince and the Second Prince widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing right before their eyes.

“T-this”

Both of them turned to the Crown Prince and his bodyguards. The fierce energy was clearly from one of the two. And it was Bei Yau who had just lowered his sword after he raised it earlier, he even only raised his hand to shoulder level, still with the sword in the scabbard.

“Eh”

Bei Yau lowered his sword and put it at his side, neatly.

“Your Highness Prince, please continue,” said the bodyguard calmly.

The first prince and second prince looked at each other. Each still holds a sword in their right hand. Both of them looked at the Crown Prince who seemed quite serious with his words.

Luo Xiang stepped away, walked away from the gate, and sat inside where a chair and a small table had been prepared for him, he had already prepared himself to watch the head-cutting event between the two brothers. Even prepared his favorite tea and Li country’s special snacks for him to enjoy the scene.

“So, what are you guys waiting for? Please”

The two princes swallowed their saliva whole. The person in front of them now was not just any Crown Prince. Previously they had heard rumors that Crown Prince Yue Yang had defeated many enemies even monsters and gigantic creatures, his power was no kidding. They had not thought that his bodyguard, who according to rumors had not even half of his power, could knock their soldiers down with one invisible movement. Imagine what that Crown Prince could do.

Both princes look at each other, do they really have to cut their opponent’s head? They both swallow hard.

Back to the field where the allied forces are gathered.

General Lin Mo and the rest of the soldiers were standing beside their huge horses, lowering their bodies to kneel before the Crown Prince. Everyone had already prepared themselves to return to Yue Yang in full formation. The number of cavalry troops that General Lin Mo brought out for the outer palace affairs was not that many, only around five hundred with two troop commanders.

“Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince, may Your Highness always be healthy and live a long life!” everyone shouts at the same time.

Luo Xiang nodded, he stood in front of the troops with his hands behind his waist. He waved his hand asking everyone to stand up.

“Please General Lin Mo”

“Thank you, Your Highness”

General Lin Mo and the others stood up in unison.

Luo Xiang nodded. Seeing General Lin Mo and his men getting on their horses and regularly heading towards the gate. General Lin Mo led the troops, followed by his aide, several soldiers holding Yue Yang’s flag to the first commander and his soldiers. While the second commander was near the back with his aide, who was holding the flag and making sure everyone was in full formation.

Luo Xiang held his breath, the morning sky was quite clear despite the blizzard last night. The first blizzard in decades. It was said that this was because something happened in the White Fox forest, something that had never happened before, and it made the area that used to have only summer and rain change. That something, must be related to Bai Ying, right?

Luo Xiang raised his head to look up at the sky. It’s already winter, so it wouldn’t be strange if it snowed there.

“Ying Ying, where are you now? Did you really disappear so that I can’t find you? You know, even to the end of the world I will look for you, but give me a hint where to go. It’s been three months, I don’t know if I can hold myself longer so I don’t go crazy because I miss you so much”

Luo Xiang holds his breath. All this time, he never separated for that long with Bai Ying before, this is the first time, and hopefully, this might be the last time.

While, far away in the White Fox’s forest, deep in the forest where the beautiful valley of White Fox is. Ain’t like outside, the valley is still green and warm, and spring just comes, along with beautiful flowers and various kinds of birds and butterflies, just what Bai Ying plays with now.

“Hey, you guys are so pretty, come and play with me”
