443 Meeting Again

Not long after, a group of horse-drawn carriages appeared from behind a bend in the road, a fairly majestic carriage with the dominant colours of white and gold and flying the flag on the highest pole. Several people on horses walked in front. From its appearance alone it was clear that it was not just an ordinary carriage.

“Wow, Young Master Xi Hu,” whispered the residents.

“Yeah, we’d better get out of the way.”

As soon as the people who gathered earlier scattered away, the golden carriage that was quite large covered almost one side of the road, the same size as Luo Xiang’s.

“Who has been so presumptuous of causing a ruckus on the street! Insolent! Do you want to die?” cried someone at the very front of the train.

Bei Yau and Ge Lu looked at each other, somehow both seemed quite familiar with the voice of someone whose voice came faster than his face, whoever it was. And sure enough, Bei Yau knew him quite well. A large and somewhat rounded man sat on a large brown horse with the Yue Yang Palace insignia on the robe he was wearing.

“Guard Pang?” cried Bei Yau and Ge Lu in unison.

The man on the horse who was none other than Guard Pang widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing in front of him now.

“Oh my,” the fat man got off the horse as fast as he could, almost tripping over, seeing the Crown Prince who was standing not far in front of him in the middle of the road with Bai Ying.

.....

“S-Sincerely, Y-Your Highness the Crown Prince” the bodyguard immediately lowered his body into kneeling at the feet of the Crown Prince.

Luo Xiang pursed his lips, where there is Guard Pang, certainly, there must be someone he really doesn’t like to meet.

“Ohh my beautiful Concubine Hua! Long time no see!” who else but the second Prince who appeared from inside the chariot in front of them.

“Second Prince!” Bai Ying exclaimed with shining eyes, no matter what, he missed the prince who was already in front of him instantly, like a strong wind that blew him almost falling backwards.

“Ekh” fortunately Prince Luo Yan held his back waist to prevent him from falling, while the other hand was already holding Bai Ying’s fingers, sniffing them.

“Y-Your Majesty” Bai Ying couldn’t help but push him away, Luo Yan’s strength was after all just like Luo Xiang’s who was just so strong.

“Emh, my very beautiful concubine Hua, you don’t know how much I miss you, even dreaming of meeting you here, it’s really a blessing” the man brought his face closer to sniff Bai Ying’s neck and almost kissed him if not for Luo Xiang’s palm covering Luo Yan’s mouth from Bai Ying’s face.

“Brother, please watch your mouth.”

Luo Yan frowned, he pulled his head back, looking at Luo Xiang confused.

“Why, why is there a Crown Prince in my dream?”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, he immediately pulled Bai Ying’s hand from Luo Yan’s embrace which didn’t change at all even though he hadn’t seen him for a long time. He always pretends to be stupid and silly.

“Brother please behave yourself!”

Luo Yan looked around him, apparently, he is not dreaming, the prince raised his hand, smelling Bai Ying’s body odour that was left in his hand.

“Hemh, this is, really amazing, the smell that I really like”

........

The temporary base of the troops was led by General Lin Mo, who this time brought his men on the mission to the south coast.

Lin Mo lowered his body to his knees in front of the Crown Prince and Bai Ying who were sitting in the centre of the room within the temporary headquarters building.

“Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Viceroy, may Your Majesty always long life and be blessed”

Luo Xiang waved his hand.

“Raise up General Lin”

The general who was none other than a distant relative of Hua Lie, Bai Ying’s biological father looked at him as if asking for his permission, the young man smiled until his eyes disappeared.

“Please stand up Uncle.”

The fifty-year-old general stood up and retreated to the side where the Crown Prince and Second Prince were.

Before long a young man in majestic and beautiful clothes, which although in appearance resembled a battle suit, lowered his body in front of the Crown Prince.

“Servant Xi Hu, second son of Xi Lei from the north, salutes Your Highness the Crown Prince and Viceroy, please pardon me for not welcoming Your Majesty to my temporary base, and above all, Servant beg forgiveness for the ignorant subordinates of mine who caused a commotion in His Highness the Crown Prince’s entourage.”

Luo Xiang glanced at the young man standing on the side near Lin Mo, a young man who looked quite young for his age but fighting so good with his black chain, and he surely know who have that chain before the young man, who lowered his head even though he occasionally tried to glance at the Crown Prince and others.

Luo Xiang placed the teacup in his hand gently onto the saucer.

“Xi Hu, Second Son of Xi Lei, I have heard enough about your reputation, both good and bad,” said Luo Xiang.

Xi Lei is one of the leaders of the martial world, the owner of the Cold Water Clan located in the big city of Ku Chang, among the three other people who guard the martial world and the rules that exist in it. So far they rarely have contact with people who certainly have their own rules that are different from any palace.

And Xi Hu is famous as one of his sons who have quite shrewd fighting skills, he will probably become the successor of the clan to replace his father who is about to resign because of his old age. Although it seems that it will still be quite a while, the last he heard of Xi Lei who was just aged sixty years, opened a small branch on the south side, perhaps De Lu was one of the cities he was interested in.

Xi Hu smiled, he still bowed his head in front of the Crown Prince.

“Servant, truly honoured that Your Majesty has heard of this humble servant’s name, what a fortune.”

Luo Xiang smirked, he waved his hand asking Bei Yau to help the young man to stand up.

“Young master, please,” said Bei Yau.

Soon after that.

While Luo Xiang and the Second Prince were discussing in the room, Bai Ying and Xiao Hong walked out of the main headquarters building accompanied by Su Lang behind them, enjoying the fresh and beautiful air in the plains of the De Lu which is famous for its beautiful flowers and leafy trees.

“Waah Hong, look at that flower, it’s beautiful, it’s so huge” Bai Ying stopped in front of a collection of large, colourful flowers.

“What kind of flower is this, Your Majesty, Hong just saw this” asked Xiao Hong.

Bai Ying frowned.

“Em, I don’t know either, it’s sister Lan er who knows about the flowers, ouch, Ying misses her so much” Bai Ying’s face scowled remembering Lan Er’s sweet smile that he hadn’t seen in a long time, seeing the second prince today made him missed everyone in the palace, even the Queen.

Xiao Hong looked at Bai Ying with a pair of big round eyes.

“Em Your Majesty, can Hong come back to Yue Yang Palace with His Majesty? It seems that there are many people His Majesty misses there, so Hong wants to get to know them too.”

Bai Ying smiled, and he nodded quickly.

“Yes, of course, Hong, you will definitely like sister Lan er, she is good at cooking, she couldn’t at first, but since Ying likes her cooking so much then almost everyday sister Lan er will prepare it for me, she is also good at knitting and arranging flowers, em, also in painting. Actually, there used to be someone who was better than her, but heh, Sister Mu er turned out to have evil intentions all those time, heh forgot about her, anyway, Hong will definitely like the people in the palace, they all love Ying er”

Hearing this his eyes Xiao Hong’s eyes widened even wider.

“Really? Wow, Hong really can’t wait to go there.”

The two of them walked leisurely and occasionally stopped to smell the flowers, even lowering their bodies to look at the wildflowers growing among the other flowers.

“This one is cute too!” Bai Ying exclaimed.

“The flowers are different from the spider forest, they are more colourful here.”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Of course Hong, Ying heard that on the border between south and north it has warm temperatures, and flowers tend to grow more diverse here, but if it gets colder north we might not see these flowers anymore”

Xiao Hong concluded his mouth.

“Oh I see, so it’s really cold in the north huh? Then, do we need to bring thicker clothes, Your Majesty?”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Of course, otherwise it will be so cold Hong, oh well, let’s go to the city this afternoon, buy some clothes for you”

Xiao Hong scratched his head.

“Hehe, Your Majesty, I have enough clothes already, do I have to buy another more?”

Bai Ying nodded. Su Lang followed the two down the path around the temporary base compound of Yue Yang’s troops.

“Of course, you have to, does Hong want to wear those clothes every day?”

Xiao Hong pursed his lips.

“Hmm, being humans is really troublesome”
