733 Identity Exposed? Dabao’s Return (5)
“Don’t look. Don’t be afraid.”
Dabao turned his head and lay limply in Prince Yan’s arms.
“Gu Elder Meng, what happened?” The guard outside the door asked.
Prince Yan raised his voice and said, “Alright! I can say it! But you have to promise me that you’ll send me down the mountain later! I know the Little Princess won’t allow you to do this, but if you want to get what I have, you have to pay a price. I’ll give you fifteen minutes to consider. After fifteen minutes, you’ll kill me, and I won’t say anything!”
When the guard heard this, he silently went to guard the courtyard door again.
Prince Yan gently pushed open the window and carried Dabao out.
The more the guard thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why was there suddenly no sound in the room? That child did not like to talk. Why were the two adults silent?
“Gu Elder Meng, Gu Elder Meng.” The guard knocked on the door, but no one answered. The guard pushed open the door and saw Gu Elder Meng lying on the ground, dead. His expression changed. “Not good! They escaped! Chase them quickly!”
The four sacrificial soldiers and four guards quickly chased after the two of them.
Prince Yan was not a martial arts practitioner and had a child with him. Even though he bought himself a lot of time, he was still quickly caught up by them.
“Stop there!” The leading guard shouted.
Prince Yan did not turn around or stand still. He hugged Dabao tightly in his arms. The leader of the guards took down his bow, pulled the bowstring, and shot out three deadly arrows. The power of these arrows was enough to pierce through Prince Yan and Dabao.
At the critical moment, a black shadow descended from the sky and blocked Prince Yan. He raised his sword and neatly cut off the arrows.
When Prince Yan heard the commotion, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Shadow Thirteen?”
The leader of the guards was shocked. Wasn’t this man Yan Jiuchao’s secret guard? Why was he here? Could it be that Yan Jiuchao had found them? That was impossible. The child had marked all the way here. But Gu Elder Meng had long seen through Prince Yan’s plan and deliberately led them to the edge of the cliff. Then, he blindfolded them and carried them to the straw hut.
Prince Yan probably did not know that after he left, he was ordered to cut off the suspension bridge.
The “mark” disappeared when they reached the bridge, and the bridge was broken. Anyone would think that they had crossed the bridge to another mountain peak. They should go down the mountain now and climb the mountain from the foot of the mountain. By the time they realized that they had been deceived, it would be at least two days later.
At that time, Gu Elder Meng had already asked about the murderer, and the corpses of Prince Yan and the child had already turned cold.
It had to be said that Gu Elder Meng’s move was indeed brilliant, but unfortunately, he encountered Yan Jiuchao. If Yan Jiuchao was so easily deceived, he would not be Yan Jiuchao.
“Your Highness, please step back.” Shadow Thirteen held his sword horizontally to protect him and Dabao.
Prince Yan nodded and retreated ten feet away with Dabao in his arms. Shadow Thirteen dealt with them quickly. Without Asura, the few gold-masked sacrificial soldiers were nothing to be afraid of.
By the time Shadow Six arrived with Yan Jiuchao, the scene had already been cleaned up, and not even a corpse could be seen.
When Dabao saw his father, he could not wait to reach out his small hand. Yan Jiuchao carried his son over. Dabao curled up in his arms aggrievedly and hugged his neck.
Yan Jiuchao lowered his head and touched his son’s forehead. It was rare for Dabao to act cute. He buried his head in his father’s arms.
Yan Jiuchao hugged him tightly.
The father and son did not speak, but at this moment, they had a tacit understanding. No one present could bear to disturb them.
Yan Jiuchao looked heartless and indifferent to everyone, but he cared a lot about the children. He didn’t say it, but he knew how to do everything.
Prince Yan looked at them and suddenly felt that his son had really grown up into a responsible man. Cong’er had done what he had done in the past.
It was getting late. The group hurriedly went down the mountain and returned to the Helian Manor in a carriage. The gates of the Helian Manor were wide open.
Yu Wan was already waiting outside the door. Er’bao and Xiaobao were also looking with their heads stretched out.
Xiaobao tiptoed and looked at the end of the street. “Why isn’t Dabao back yet?”
“It’s been a long time!” Er’bao could not wait any longer.
The two of them had never missed Dabao so much.
“Dabao!” Xiaobao shouted!
Yu Wan turned her head around.
It was late at night and a carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The curtain was lifted, and Yan Jiuchao got off the carriage. He held Dabao’s hand and slowly walked towards her.
