Seeing the Eastern Barbarian Warriors fleeing in fear from the increasing river, the expression on Chu Yixuan's face gradually eased up.
Very good, my Eastern Barbarian is already utterly defeated. In order to protect himself, withdrawing from the battlefield was the most sensible choice.
Sure enough, the sound of soldiers retreating sounded out anxiously. The soldiers of Eastern Barbarian retreated in a flurry, quickly retreating backwards.
However, Feng Qingmo did not command his army to chase after the Eastern Barbarian.
Lu Ming had already returned to Eagle-beak Cliff, and upon seeing this situation, he couldn't help but be startled: "If Eastern Barbarian is defeated, why didn't Crown Prince take advantage of this and seize Helian Cheng?"
Chu Yixuan said: "In the Eastern Barbarian fire attack, my soldiers were also severely injured, go back and treat them."
Lu Ming was suddenly enlightened: "This crown prince really loves his soldiers!"
That's right!
Chu Yixuan thought so too. It could be said that it was a blessing for the people of Dongluo to be handed over to such a Crown Prince.
At this time, the Uncle Lin walked up the Eagle-beak Cliff as if he was worn out from the journey. He bowed to Chu Yixuan and said, "Your Royal Highness!"
Lu Ming was overjoyed: "Uncle Lin is finally back!"
Chu Yixuan's eyes were also quite gratified: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle! Is this journey safe? "
Uncle Lin nodded his head: "Many thanks to Your Highness for your concern, my journey was safe, Your Highness, please take a look, who is it that came?"
The Uncle Lin turned around and a slender figure under the protection of a guard slowly walked up the Eagle Beak Cliff.
Chu Yixuan's face immediately became colder: "Zhuo Hua!"
The one who walked up Eagle Beak Cliff under the protection of the guards was none other than Princess Zhuo Hua. At this time, Nian’er did not follow her. She wore a black robe and dressed like a man.
Lu Ming and the rest hurried to pay their respects to Princess Zhuo Hua, who waved her hand. Uncle Lin then led the group down the Eagle Beak Cliff, leaving only Chu Yixuan and Princess Zhuo Hua there.
"I've finally found you!" Chu Yixuan said with a cold face, "Where did you go? If he left like this, where would he place the reputation of Dongluo? Mu Yunhuang has treated you well. If you leave like this, how can you face him? "
"Third brother!" Tears of grievance immediately welled up in Princess Zhuo Hua's eyes, "I didn't even ask what happened, and hurriedly scolded me. As expected, you don't take my little sister to heart!"
Chu Yixuan frowned: "What has happened? To make you abandon your country and your husband and disappear without a trace?"
Princess Zhuo Hua lowered her head as tears streamed down her face, "Yes, I am a little irresponsible. I didn't tell you guys before I suddenly left … But, I had originally planned to return once again after seeing Helian Jing, I … "
"Since you still want to go back, why must you go see Helian Jing? "What's the point of seeing one more time?"
"I …" Princess Zhuo Hua wiped away her tears, but there were more tears, as she said sorrowfully, "Maybe I'm finding an excuse for myself, but I really want to see him again … But who would have thought that right after I met him, there would be someone chasing after us to kill us. If it wasn't for him pledging her life to protect us, Nian’er and I would have perished! "
"Someone wants to kill you?" Chu Yixuan was startled, "Who wants to kill you?"
"I don't know either," Princess Zhuo Hua sniffed. "I asked Helian Jing, but he didn't say anything. So, I feel like those assassins came from the Eastern Barbarian. "
"The Eastern Barbarian wants to kill Helian Jing?" Chu Yixuan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that it was because he had made the decision to retreat that Helian Jing had become the sinner of the Eastern Barbarian, and that was why the people inside the Eastern Barbarian wanted to kill him? And Princess Zhuo Hua was the main reason for Helian Jing retreating, so, even if the people from the Eastern Barbarian were angry at her, they would kill her to vent their anger?
"Third brother?" Zhuo Hua waved her hand in front of Chu Yixuan.
Chu Yixuan looked at her: "Then where are you staying? And the Nian’er? "
At the mention of Nian’er, Princess Zhuo Hua's expression softened, "Nian’er is with his father."
His father!
Chu Yixuan's face was filled with black lines, "Your relationship with Helian Jing has already been restored? He has already acknowledged you? "
Princess Zhuo Hua had a bashful and embarrassed look on her face as she looked at Chu Yixuan again nervously, and said carefully: "Um, Nian’er has a kind of innate intimacy towards Helian Jing. Normally, people who hug him would resist, and would cry and make a ruckus, but it's so weird, how weird, that the first time I see Helian Jing, he would actually let me hug him. Do you think this is kinship, blood is thicker than water? "
Chu Yixuan gave a cold snort, "Then where do you put Mu Yuncang? He has never failed you and Nian’er in the slightest. "
"I …" When Mu Yuncang was mentioned, Princess Zhuo Hua immediately gave up. She lowered her head in distress and rubbed her fingers together, "I, I also want to live up to his kindness towards us both … "But, but …"
Chu Yixuan glanced at Princess Zhuo Hua. Forget it, since things had already come to this point, there was no point blaming her anymore. His expression slowly relaxed, but his tone was still cold. "How did Uncle Lin find you? Why are you willing to follow him back to see me? "
When he found us, he just happened to encounter the third wave of assassins coming to kill us. There were many assassins at that time, and they were all ruthless, Helian Jing had to face off against so many people, and also had to protect us two. Fortunately, the Uncle Lin came and helped us repel the assassin, "After speaking to here, Princess Zhuo Hua was very excited, she could not help but shake Chu Yixuan's arm:" Third brother, you actually hid such a strong martial arts cultivator by your side, why didn't I notice it before? If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have needed to find a sword master, and the Uncle Lin would have taught me! I feel that the Uncle Lin is stronger than Jun Zibi! "
"Nonsense." Chu Yixuan frowned, "Get down to business."
"I am talking about serious matters! Third brother, the Uncle Lin's martial arts are so high and he doesn't have a son. "What do you think?"
"So? What do you want? "
"I want Nian’er to become my master!"
Princess Zhuo Hua was extremely excited, but she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How old is Nian’er?"
"Two and a half years!"
"You already let him practice martial arts at such a young age?"
"Ah, of course not now. I mean, when Nian’er grows two years older, I can practice martial arts with him! You will agree, third brother? — You are Nian’er's uncle! "
Chu Yixuan's face darkened. "Helian Jing's martial arts is not good? Do you even need to think about others? "
Master Zhuo Hua said: "His archery skills and martial arts are good, but his lightness skills and swords are not as good as Uncle Lin's!
Chu Yixuan asked Princess Zhuo Hua, "The purpose of your return is to become Nian’er's disciple?"
"Oh, of course not!" Just as Princess Zhuo Hua was about to speak, a deep and low male voice answered for her: "We have come for a request."
Chu Yixuan frowned, and looked at Helian Jing who was slowly climbing up the stairs. Helian Jing hugged the two and a half year old Nian’er, who was fast asleep in his arms and had a very sweet sleep.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi." Helian Jing stood still and slightly nodded towards Chu Yixuan.
Chu Yixuan said with a cold face. "Your Highness, Duke Jie of the Eastern Barbarian! Three years apart, how have you been? "
Princess Zhuo Hua quickly stood beside Helian Jing. She looked at him anxiously and said softly: Jing, you should call him Third Brother.
Helian Jing looked at Princess Zhuo Hua in silence, and when he faced Chu Yixuan again, he actually respected Chu Yixuan: "We have come for a request, I hope third brother can help us."
This "Third Brother" instantly caused Princess Zhuo Hua to reveal a gratified smile.
Helian Jing was admitting their relationship to her family and asking for their support!
Chu Yixuan was not moved at all, and only said indifferently: "Back then Sir, when you sent out your Dongluo, you relied on your own abilities to stabilize the relationship between Dongluo and it. Now, the one who sent out the attack on Dongluo is Sir as well, I really do not know what kind of attitude you should have!"
Princess Zhuo Hua hurriedly spoke up for Helian Jing: "It was also him who took the initiative to lead the troops to withdraw from the Kang City, third brother!"
Helian Jing did not defend himself, but said: "I am willing to bear the consequences of my mistakes. It is also for this matter that I have come to seek help from third brother. "
Chu Yixuan said flatly: "I was also crossing the river with a Clay Buddha, so I couldn't save myself. Whether I can help or not is not certain. "
Helian Jing said: "I only hope that Third Brother can take good care of Zhuo Hua and Nian’er for me, I will buy time and hurry back."
Princess Zhuo Hua was initially staring at Chu Yixuan with a fervent and passionate gaze, hoping that Chu Yixuan would agree to her request. However, the moment she heard Helian Jing's request, she was stunned!
She turned her head to look at Helian Jing, and blinked her large eyes, "Mirror, what did you say to Third Brother just now? "You clearly said to ask third brother to think of a way to help us …"
Helian Jing said softly, full of regret, "Zhuo Hua, don't be in such a hurry. I am indeed telling you that the reason I am looking for Third Brother is to ask for his help in safely leaving the Kang City … "
That's right! We finally decided to put everything down, everything is wandering... "As you said, we're going to find a paradise and live the most ordinary life as normal couples, men's farming, women's knitting, the sun rising, the sun setting, and so on.
"Yes!" This is indeed our goal, my mind hasn't changed. "
"Then what did you mean just now? Where are you going? Why did you let Third Brother take care of me and Nian’er? "
Princess Zhuo Hua's voice had already started to tremble.
Helian Jing held out a hand, patted Princess Zhuo Hua's shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I won't leave this place. I just need to make a trip back to Eastern Barbarian. "
"What?" Princess Zhuo Hua was stunned! She grabbed Helian Jing's arm, and her tone became anxious, "How are you able to regain your Eastern Barbarian? "You're the one who decided to retreat, they must hate you to death. Those assassins must have been sent by them to kill us. If you go back alone, wouldn't that mean that you've fallen into a trap?"
"No, listen to me, Zhuo Hua." Helian Jing stared at Princess Zhuo Hua with his deep and dark eyes. His expression was very gentle, unlike his usually aloof and reserved appearance, "Indeed, we met with some danger. However, I came back this time to solve the problem. "
