CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

412 The Attacks at Gao

The Magpie chirping sound sounded so sweet in the courtyard beside the big house, where Li Mo often spent quiet time enjoying with his beloved pet bird, which was not too loud but quite sweet and pleasant to hear.

“Heh, a lot of trouble happened lately and I forgot to pay attention, my dear Xiao Lu, fortunately, you’re not that mystical bird that can turn into a human huh? Or, can you? Looks like I’ll have to ask His Highness the Viceroy about this matter.”

The atmosphere in the Li family’s house was very calm, it was late afternoon and all the maids were busy cleaning the house and the yard, it was even too calm than usual, this was because Li Mo and the others had not received any news of Huo Li’s movements up until now, since last time nothing strange happened.

But when everybody feels so calm and enjoys the boring time passes slowly, something loud disperses the quietness.

The sound of galloping horses stopped very quickly in front of the Li family’s mansion, followed by footsteps running in loud enough to make the servants guarding the front yard of the Li family’s house turn their heads, all seeing who the rude person had barged into the house without permission.

“Help! Uncle Li! Help us!”

Li Mo who was standing in his place turned his head, frowning at who it was, someone he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Xi Er?”

..........

.....

Swords clatter and groans were heard everywhere. The state symbol of Gao’s flag fell and burned to the ground, among the piles of lifeless bodies that died miserably, and the battle has not sopped yet. The fire was seen burning several of the main palace buildings with the blue bull symbol which now looks messy.

The screams could still be heard clearly even in the palace which had been invaded by black-clad men who had come from nowhere, and the main hall was overrun by the enemy. Seen in the king’s large chair, sat a young man with a shining face who laughed in satisfaction without stopping. The king of Gao state, a man in his still brilliant age, fifty years old, Bu Ye, also couldn’t face the enemy that came and suddenly attacked his palace. Huo Li is now using his back as a foothold.

“Insolent! Kill me, but don’t insult me like this!” cried the King, Bu Ye.

Huo Li couldn’t stop smiling, he lifted the chin of the King who even though he was injured almost everywhere in his body still looked at him with a pair of eyes filled with anger.

“Hehehehe oh my, I’m so satisfied to see your face like this, my dear nephew”

Bu Ye rebelled, he tried to get up from the floor and saw Huo Li’s face clearly, which no matter how he looked he couldn’t recognize him, why did he suddenly come to attack his country?

“God damn it! This snotty brat, just kill me! Kill me!”

Huo Li laughed loudly. He waved his hand ordering his men who were standing not far nearby to approach.

“Throw this King into his prison, give him a drink from the foot-washing water and food from the pigsty, that’s what you will eat or you will starve, my sweet King”

Several men dressed in black pulled Bu Ye off the floor, a man whose legs and arms were already wounded and full of blood from the slash of a sharp weapon still trying to fight.

“You will regret not killing me! I will kill you! You insolent!”

Huo Li glanced at the corner of the room, which was lined up with beautiful girls who were the concubines of King Bu Ye, all of whom were very eye-catching, beautiful, young and sexy with sparkling skin and shining faces, it was really like seeing fairies.

“Hehehe come on sweet girls, serve your young King, oh it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve felt the caress of your gentle hands”

The young concubines snuggled up in fear since they saw only blood flying with fallen bodies, and the ministers and even the generals were arrested and killed if they resisted, the royal family was also not pardoned, some were taken to prison and even killed if they resisted, then, what about them?

Huo Li waited, he crossed his legs and sat leaning his back.

“Heh, it would be a pity if these smooth faces and bodies were just wasted, I really don’t have the heart to kill you too”

Hearing that the concubines of approximately eight people glanced at each other in fear, finally one of them ventured forward to approach the scary man, and soon, the others followed.

“Oh my King, please spare our lives”

“Yes Your Majesty, we will do whatever it takes to make Your Majesty happy”

Huo Li looked at the faces of the concubines who were already approaching him and touched them with their delicate hands. He lifted the chin of one of the young concubines in front of him, smiling broadly.

“Hehehe, such an attractive face, beautiful and refreshing, but, heh, even all of you are nothing compared to that kid, what can you do to make this King relieve his boredom?”

“Oh, our handsome King” and finally for the sake of their life, those young concubines started to tease Huo Li with their sweet seducing words.

.......

The physician had just finished bandaging the wound on the young man’s arm who was now sitting on the chair in the living room of the Li family home.

Bu Xi, the third Prince of Gao, Bu Ye’s son who was just turned twenty years old this year, Li Yu’s playmate who is now sitting beside him is worried. Li Mo took a deep breath.

“Heh, this matter, getting more complicated.”

Before long the Crown Prince and others entered.

Luo Xiang took Bai Ying behind him into the living room.

“Your Highness” Li Mo stood up to greet him.

Luo Xiang looked at Bu Xi who was sitting with a tired-looking face with several wounds all over his body, his majestic clothes were stained with blood here and there, and the young man looked pitiful.

“Uncle, what happened, Xiang er heard about the commotion in front of here,” asked the Crown Prince.

Li Mo lowered his head in front of the Crown Prince, then pointed at Bu Xi who he asked to come closer.

“Report Your Majesty, this is Prince Bu Xi, son of Bu Ye from the state of Gao, Servant was just about to report to Your Majesty regarding this matter, if, Gao country, has now been taken over by Huo Li and his flock”

Hearing that Bai Ying who standing beside Luo Xiang opened his eyes wide.

“Gao? How did Huo Li get there? Have you seen Xiao Hong too?” The young man asked Bu Xi who looked nervous, Bai Ying’s large pair of reddish eyes watched him intently, waiting for him to answer.

“That Eh, who is Xiao Hong? Uncle, who are they?” he asked.

“Xi Er, pay respects to His Highness the Crown Prince Yue Yang and the Viceroy Xin Hua” Li Mo replied. Hearing that the clumsy Bu Xi grew even more nervous and immediately lowered his head.

“Oh, please forgive me for being so impudent, Yours sincerely, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty the Viceroy, Servant is Bu Xi, the Third son of Bu Ye the King of Gao”

Chen Ming who had recently entered approached, saw the young man who had been battered from under the feet to the top of the head.

“Then, what about King Bu Ye’s condition? Did, he’s been killed by Huo Li already?”

Chen Ming’s sharp words made Bai Ying turn his head, he nudged his brother’s arm.

“Brother, don’t talk like that.”

Bu Xi lowered his head, unable to hold himself the young man burst into tears.

“Ems, Servant, don’t know, my personal bodyguard sacrificed himself to protect me out of the burning palace, one quiet night, suddenly those people came and attacked the palace, even our formidable guards are nothing in the hands of a man who emitting fire from all over his body, he didn’t even blink while killing everyone” the young man trembled, crying non-stop. Li Yu stroked his brother’s back.

“Xi Er calm down, that man is really terrible, such a nasty person should be burnt to ashes and not allowed to live at all”

Li Mo looked at Li Yu, the young man didn’t know that Huo Li was his biological grandfather, if the young man knew, who knows what he thought.

“Heh, Yu Er, take Xi Er to the room to rest, let us take care of this matter.”

Bu Xi raised his head, looking at Li Mo then Luo Xiang and Bai Ying, the young man unceremoniously approached Bai Ying and grabbed his two hands.

“Your Majesty, please help me, please save my palace and family, I don’t have much desire, only, for my family to be safe, I beg of you”

Bai Ying stuttered, unable to pull his hand which was tightly held by Bu Xi.

Luo Xiang stepped forward and pulled Bai Ying’s hand away from the youth.

“Ahem, young man, please mind your hands” he looked at Bu Xi with wide eyes as if he was about to swallow him whole. Li Yu immediately stepped forward to pull his brother away.
