"Your Highness! "Your Highness!" When he saw Murong Yu appear, Hei Yi rushed over from the small fishing boat parked by the river and knelt in front of him with a 'putt'. His usual simple black attire was already wrinkled and he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was extremely haggard.
"Get up!" Murong Yu's heart ached when he saw Hei Yi's haggard appearance. He hurriedly bent over and helped Hei Yi up.
"Your subordinate was incompetent and caused your highness to suffer." Hei Yi still lowered his head in remorse.
"Come on, let's talk in the cabin."
He had only notified Hei Yi. Although Hei Yi was excited, and without Murong Yu's order, he had yet to notify anyone else, and had only driven the boat to this quiet place to wait uneasily for two days, he did not know Jiang Wuwei. The old man had a bad temper, so he left as soon as he received the notice, and it was not certain whether the news was real or fake, but even if there was only a sliver of hope, Hei Yi would still come, not to mention Jiang Wuchang had clearly said that Murong Yu was still alive, and wanted him to come to see him.
It was getting late, and the sun was setting over the Xijiang River, casting a golden glow on the surface. The river breeze was cool and gentle.
"How is Madam Yun?" Murong Yu first asked the question that Yunsheng Yue was most concerned about.
"Madam Yun is very sad. This subordinate has been comforting her and arranged for doctors to take care of her. This subordinate does not believe that the prince has already …"
"Yes, take good care of Madam Yun."
"Has the Prince's injury healed?" Black One quickly sized up Murong Yu. Seeing that he looked well, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Royal Concubine … Is the princess well? "
"We are all well, and the child is safe."
"Really? That's great! " Hei Yi cried out in surprise and almost jumped up in joy. This was truly a stroke of luck. "My prince and my princess, why haven't you returned to Jincheng yet?"
"We were unconscious for many days. Fortunately, an expert rescued us, and there were too many troubles in Jincheng City. After this catastrophe, I originally wanted to go into seclusion with Yue'er …" Murong Yu sighed.
Hei Yi became anxious, "Even if Your Highness wants to go into seclusion, you still have to bring along your subordinates!"
"I had originally planned for them to think that we were no longer here, but who would have thought that King Xiao Yao would suddenly rebel. At this moment, royal father must be very worried, unable to eat and sleep, yet we are all hiding our leisure time, my heart cannot rest at ease either!"
"No matter what Your Highness decides, we must bring along your subordinates. Your subordinates will have to wait for a long time to search for them …" Hei Yi suddenly choked with emotion. He thought that without a backbone, it would be terrible to hope that the days would get darker and darker.
Murong Yu patted Hei Yi on the shoulder and said, "It's my fault for not thinking carefully. I really can't bear to have Yue Er suffer and be afraid when she's almost dead this time. The place where our senior lives is very safe, so I want her to peacefully give birth there."
"Your Highness, feel free to instruct me about your plans!" In the end, Black One was still calm and steady. He quickly suppressed his excitement. Everything could be said for his master who was still alive.
Murong Yu stared at the sparkling river surface as he slowly spoke out his plans, "You can't reveal that we're still alive right now, so I asked old senior Jiang to inform you to come here first so that we can communicate with each other later. What's the situation with the army that General Lan brought? Is there any feeling in the manor? "
Five days ago, the city guards were set up in rebellion and the city fell into the hands of the Carefree King. Although the army was two hundred thousand as well, the rebel army was still two hundred thousand, and of that, one hundred thousand were the Western Qi soldiers, they were exceptionally sturdy, and the city was easily defended and difficult to attack. General Lan's journey was fraught with difficulties, and all of these are well-known news, your subordinate did not send any people to inquire about the situation, so it is unclear whether the other people in the palace are loyal to the King or not.
"Alright, immediately arrange for five people to head northwest. I want to know the exact information, and also arrange for some people to pay attention to the situation in Jincheng, and tell the people of the Black idea1 that I'm still alive, but don't tell anyone else, and arrange for a group of people to continue searching for us. Also, don't notify the family, just arrange for a few doctors to take care of Lady Yun, okay?"
"Yes sir!" Black One immediately became spirited. After a moment of thought, he said, "The Black Wind Army's brothers have been feeling both guilty and depressed these past few days. Your Highness should let them meet with you first to make everyone happy …"
"Alright, at this time tomorrow, bring everyone here and wait. If you can't catch up to us by now, then forget it." I have another task for you all to complete at the same time. "
"Your Highness, feel free to instruct me!"
"Our manpower is limited. We should be taking peace and chaos as our priority now, but we cannot delay this matter. I need to find a good place to build a safe and secretive place! Senior, you can't disturb us for too long. After Yue Er has given birth to her child, we will have to find a place to stay. "
"Ol 'Three should be able to handle this. He has been travelling far and wide to the north, so he will definitely find a good place. It's just that he was in a hurry."
"Well, I still need your help!" Murong Yu sighed. No matter how strong a person was, there was a limit.
"How can you say that, prince? We, the brothers of the Black Tortoise Regiment, have all received a great favor from the king. Our lives are all his, so what does it matter to you as long as you don't leave us behind?"
"I can't miss your future either. Lan Ruocheng is now a general of Pacification, so we have to help him. After this is done, you can follow me if you're willing to follow me. If you're willing to seek merits, you won't be missing out. I'll definitely arrange things properly for you."
"This subordinate only wants to follow you, Your Highness, without any hesitation!"
"Good!" "You can go and inform them that Yue Er will be giving birth at any time. I can't stay here for too long, I will come back tomorrow at this time."
"Yes!" Then this subordinate will go and notify them, everyone will definitely be extremely happy. " As Black One imagined the surprised looks on his brothers' faces, he grew excited again.
With their help, many things were much easier to deal with. Although it was difficult to resolve the chaos, he believed that Lan Ruocheng would not let him down. Lan Ruocheng definitely wouldn't choose to do it voluntarily, but since he had already gone, he would do his best. It would be quite tragic if he couldn't even find a person to complain to.
The bamboo forest was very dense, and there was no way out, so they could only rely on the direction they were heading to. Murong Yu circulated his lightness skills and quietly advanced along the bamboo forest's exterior for a few miles, and only when he was three miles away from the bamboo garden did he find a lot of bewitching formations. Old Man Feng did not want to tell him that it was still Jiang Niang who had given him a path.
The sky was getting darker as Murong Yu focused on his journey. Actually, the bamboo garden was less than ten miles from the Xijiang River just now. If it was flat ground, it wouldn't take him that long to use his Qing Gong to travel.
When he came out earlier, he didn't see a single person. It seemed like ordinary people didn't dare to come walk around this area that had long been known as the Ghost Bamboo Forest, but today was an exception.
Murong Yu didn't directly enter the bamboo forest. He walked along the river bank for a while before entering. There was a path with the least number of traps, but he had only entered the bamboo forest for a short distance when he heard voices. He quickly hid himself.
"You guys are really cowardly, aren't you just some broken bamboo forest? You don't even dare to enter! " The last person cursed as he looked back.
The person in front said, "If you're so daring, then go in. Why did you come out with us?"
The person behind him turned angry from embarrassment. "This job isn't for me alone. Why are you making me do it alone?!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Someone tried to smooth things over. "Let's go back first. It's getting late. This bamboo forest is so eerie, it doesn't feel right. We brothers shouldn't die foolishly here. It's not worth it!"
"How should I explain it when I go back? It is said that the old man from the Fisherman's Gang frequents this area. However, we have not been able to find him even once after searching this area. "
"That old man is also an expert, so it's very possible that he lives in this' Ghost Bamboo Forest '. He's already been searched everywhere, so this is the only place he's staying."
"Bullsh * t! We'll come look for him tomorrow. If we still can't find him, we'll just burn down the bamboo forest!"
"Shh!" Don't be rude, we were ordered by our prince to come for help, quickly shut your stinky mouth! "
"Humph!" You guys rarely come here, but you're going to leave just like that? " Murong Yu quickly tore off his robe and covered his face with it as he moved in a flash to stand in front of them.
The five of them were stunned and immediately stood on guard. One of them shouted, "Who are you?"
"Do you think you're qualified to ask?" Murong Yu said coldly, "What is your purpose in coming here? If you explain the situation clearly, then we can let you off. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!"
"You!" One of them was infuriated. Just as he was about to step forward to make a move, he was stopped by another.
"Who exactly are you? "If you are the master of this house, then we brothers have disturbed you. We are here to ask Elder Jiang Wuchang for something!" This person was quite patient.
"Where did all of you come from? Why are you looking for senior Jiang?"
"Commander, this man has his face covered and worships ghosts. I wonder who he is?" Let's not fall for his trick, let's take him down first! " There was one guy who was always eager to give it a try.
"Wait!" We have already stated our purpose in coming here. If you are the master of this place and speak honestly, we will naturally answer your questions. "
"Is that so?" He was wearing the ordinary attire that people from the martial arts world usually wore, and it was not anything special. However, he looked very tall and sturdy, and if he wasn't mistaken, he should be from the northwest. He could have taken them all down after confirming his identity, but these people were looking for Jiang Wuwei.
Just as he was hesitating, those five people suddenly kneeled to the ground. Jiang Wuwei appeared not more than ten steps away from him, glanced at him and said sternly: "You're still young, Luo Liro is not done talking. I'm Jiang Wuwei, what are you waiting for!"
Before even seeing anyone, they were subdued on the ground. The five of them were already scared out of their wits, and it took them a while before someone came back to their senses and stammered, "Jiang …" Elder Jiang, my son … I have something to ask of you! "
"Where did this prince come from? This old man does not welcome outsiders. Kneel here for the entire night and scram as far away as you can tomorrow!"
"Senior, senior!" Seeing that Jiang Wuwei had the intention to leave, the person on the ground anxiously said: "My Prince will soon take Dingcheng, and will arrive at the Xijiang River very soon. Prince has always admired Senior, and we have come to invite Senior to meet us in the northwest for a talk about major matters, so when we succeed, we will naturally never be able to enjoy the glory and wealth!"
"Haha!" Big matter? He's just a traitor, go back and tell your highness that I've long since not asked about the trivia of the sect. Besides, even if the fishermen eat coarse tea and live in peace, they won't be able to compete with his wealth! Brat, these people are up to you! Don't let them disturb this old one's peace and quiet! " The last sentence was directed towards Murong Yu. After he finished speaking, he disappeared as if he had just arrived. It was as if a cool breeze had just blown by.
"Young master, we have sincerely come to ask the leader of the Jiang family for help. We would like to ask young master to put in a few good words for us."
"The army has already reached Dingcheng. Is your prince that confident that he can quickly take Dingcheng down?" Murong Yu changed the topic. His tone was calm, purposely revealing his disbelief.
"If our prince isn't confident, how can he obtain Peace City and Peace City so easily. He must be here at the same time as well, except for this West River, which is extremely dangerous, and needs the help of Senior Jiang, we've been searching for a long time. The heavens do not disappoint those who want to help, and it took us a lot of effort to find senior …"
"Senior has already said that the Fisherman's Gang is just an ordinary fisherman. How can they help the Carefree King?" Mu Rong Yu said with a mocking tone.
That man did not care at all, "Everyone knows that our Northwest Army is stronger than the Land Battle, and the water is slightly inferior, but Your Highness has long prepared for this. Many of our troops have trained on the water, and with the help of the fishermen, we will be able to cross the West River and reach Jincheng City within a day's time!"
The more that person spoke, the more excited he became. Murong Yu's face was getting darker, however, the sky was dark and he was covered, so no one could see him.
"Senior Jiang has long ignored the matters of the Fishermen's Gang. You've found the wrong person!"
"This... Although old Sect Master Jiang has abdicated his position, who doesn't know that the Fisherman Gang has the most trust in him? As long as old Sect Master Jiang appears … "
"Why don't you go find the current Sect Master?" Mu Rong Yu actually didn't know who the current Sect Master was.
One of them harrumphed, "That brat doesn't know his place. It's fine if he doesn't, but Young Master is a man of reason. His majesty is incompetent today, and he holds the position of a True Dragon.
"Humph!" Mu Rong Yu was infuriated, he suppressed his anger and continued saying, "Leave the token for me first, I'll ask Elder Jiang before making any plans!"
"Good, good, good! "Young master, please put forth some good words. If elder Jiang has any request, please feel free to speak of it. My prince and my prince are generous and friendly people." As the man in the middle said this, he took out a small token and held it above his head.
Murong Yu took the token and said, "It won't be easy to convince Elder Jiang. Go back and report this to your master first, if Elder Jiang is relieved, I will naturally send people to contact you. Before that, don't disturb old senior Jiang.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Then we shall wait in An Cheng for Young Master's good news! " Jiang Wuwei's temperament was just like his name, when he wasn't happy, he could kill people with a raise of his hand, but the young ones could suppress people from both the north and south of the West River. Now that they were older, they could restrain themselves a lot, but Yu Wei was still strong.
Murong Yu didn't say anything else. He put away the keepsake and turned around to leave. Those people then called out anxiously, "Young master, please don't go. Please help us open our acupoints!"
Murong Yu didn't even turn around as he left. He left behind a few words: "Senior Jiang's Pressure Point Technique is brilliant and unique. How could I solve it? I'll just have to trouble you all to wait for it to loosen up naturally!"
The five of them looked at each other, extremely vexed. After they looked around, they became more and more dark and gloomy, not daring to say anything even if they wanted to curse. They could only silently pray that their acupuncture points could be released quickly.
