299 Heading Back
ChenMing pinched BaiYingâs cheek exasperatedly.
âWhy does this kid is so cute? you can hide it, Brother already sees how red your cheeks are, donât be shy, we understand.â
BaiYing tried to let go of ChenMingâs embrace, his cousin loved to tease him, he was indeed very mischievous.
âBig brotherâ
Elder Yi chuckled.
âHehehe Prince Chen, donât tease our little XiaoYing anymore, look at his cheeks already like boiled crabs, he could accidentally release the flames and burn you.â
BaiYing turned his head, he raised his eyebrows sharply at ChenMing.
âThatâs right, brother, you want Ying to accidentally shoot Yingâs fire out of anger?â
ChenMing didnât seem afraid.
.....
âWell, go ahead, this little brother will burn his brother, please? But later, you have to be able to take responsibility in front of Our beloved Grandmother, okay?â
âWhy do I have to take responsibility for it? Itâs because of Brother MingMing who deliberately teased Yingâerâ
âWell after all, apart from this adorable XiaoYing, your brother is still our beloved Grandmaâs favourite grandson, she would definitely be devastating if anything bad happened to this very cute MingMingân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
BaiYing pursed his lips, he really couldnât win against his brother Chen Mingâs words, who since the first time he met was already very good at tongue-tipping.
As the two of them walked towards the inn, BaiYingâs hand was suddenly pulled by the Crown Prince who had unexpectedly quickened his walk.
âCome on YingYing letâs go to our roomâ
BaiYing stuttered, while there was a moment of tug of war between Crown Prince and ChenMing who finally relented.
âEh Y-Your Majestyâ
ChenMing stopped his steps, Elder Yi also stopped beside him, both of them looked at BaiYing who was pulled like a child who had to obey his parents.
âHehehe XiaoYing really belongs only to His Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Chen just accept that factâ
ChenMing pursed his lips.
âHeh that rotten Crown Prince, he is so possessive of XiaoYing, I couldnât even tease him for a momentâ
Elder Yi laughed.
âHahahaha of course, come on Prince Chen we have to prepare ourselves for the journey,â said Elder Yi continuing his steps towards the entrance of the inn.
The sky was clear that day, they would probably continue their journey after their breakfast in a bit.
.....
The entourage finally hit the road, when the sun was right over their head, the Crown Princeâs horse and carriage group continued their journey to the capital. The mercenaries led by JuYu had already gone ahead and were half-day ahead of them, even though they donât look like a threat, Crown Prince still had a little worried. Donât know what the sly man was thinking, because the look in his eyes showed that the person was not as stupid as his speech and the way heâs talking.
Klop klop klop
ShinYa rode right beside him.
âReport Your Majesty, I saw a dark aura around that man, that person has no good intentions, he must have a big plan on his visit to the capitalâ
Crown Prince looked at the road in front of them carefully, the bright sun and the storm had subsided made the path in front of them very clear, there was barely even a lot of wind blowing, the air was getting hotter and everyone still had to wear their robes to avoid the sunâs burn.
âThat person must have met an official or dignitary in the capital, otherwise he wouldnât have dared to go there without an invitation card, but, who is that Officials who would be so presumptuous of inviting mercenaries to the capital when they know itâs clearly against the Palace rulesâ
BeiYau who was at the rear of the group moved closer.
âYour Majesty, I have sent my man to follow JuYuâs entourage, according to the latest report they have arrived at the trading city of LuShanâ
âSoon we will also arrive there, after that the distance to the capital is not far, are they still moving on the group?â asked Crown Prince.
BeiYau frowned, he forgot to ask that.
âEm thatâ
âI think itâs very likely that the group will apart at LuShan or ChangSan, thereâs no way the group will be able to enter the capital in large numbers,â said ShinYa.
Not long they were walking at a moderate speed, suddenly heard the galloping of fast horses from the path behind them, two black horses with two people sitting on them stomping their whips quickly without paying attention to the group.
âHiaaat! Hiatt! Please give a way!â exclaimed one dressed in white with a large hat on his head, while the other one, its clearly visible eye shape with coloured petals resembling a womanâs ornament and from the veil that covered from under her nose, the figure briefly turned to the Crown Prince before following the horse in front of him speeding away in fast.
âHiatt! Hiatt!â and quickly the two of them had driven away from the Crown Princeâs entourage.
âInsolent, who are they who dare to pass by the group so impolitelyâ grumbled Elder Yi who rode in the back with XuYi by his side.
XuYi frowned.
âEm, it looks like young people, but, why are they in such a hurry?â
âPerhaps they are late for the party, young people these daysâ
XuYi looked at Elder Yi, frowned deeply, looked at the young man from head to toe, for some reason he felt the man in front of him talking as if he was a very old man.
âAhem, Young people nowadays, its means, including you too Young Master, is thatâs right?â
XuYiâs words made Elder Yi frown for a moment, thinking until he looked at himself and laughed.
âHehehehe yeah, right, including myself too, hehehe what ridiculous question is that, of course, I am, a Young Man, come on, we have to get out of this annoying desert, my stomach already canât help to enjoy the very best wine in the centre of the city, what is the best wine, sell at LuShan city? I heard about the wine taste so good there, thatâs true right?â
The group continued along a not-so-large path which was also passed by several other people who seemed to be passing by, a large number of people in the group and the big size of carriage that closed more than half of the way made the group quite attractive to everyone who passed by who could not help but to let them passed, of course, if only those people knew who the majestic man was passing in front of them at that time.
âEm, I heard that in LuShan city there is a famous restaurant and it is quite crowded with visitors, it is almost never empty, and the restaurant has a special wine called a Womanâs tongue.â
Elder Yi turned his head to frown at XuYiâs words, maybe he heard wrong.
âUh what was that? A womanâs tongue, is that, wine for women?â
XuYi chuckled.
âHehehe, is not that Young Master, it was deliberately called a Womanâs tongue because when people who are drunk from drinking that wine, the will keep talking like women, canât stop, they will talk about anythingâ
Hearing XuYiâs answer Elder Yi finally laughed.
âHahahaha, oh well, thatâs pretty scary, donât let us drunk because of that or weâll keep talking nonsense, hahaha, but we must try it, Iâm curious about the taste nowâ
âThatâs if we still got a seat, but they must have a lot of stock of that wine in their place, they never run out of stockâ
âThis Young man, you really make my saliva dripping just hearing its name now, letâs go, we have to hurry, hopefully before the sun dims weâll reach the city, ouch I canât waitâ
While beside the carriage where Crown Prince was riding his horse at a moderate speed.
âYour Majestyâ BaiYingâs voice, the youth parted the curtain looking at the Crown Prince.
âYing put your head in, you will fall,â said the Crown Prince calmly.
âYour Majesty, we have to stop by the accessories shop, Ying promised to buy Sis Fanâer a new hair clip,â he exclaimed.
Crown Prince held his breath for a while, the boy was always thought that they were indeed on a vacation trip.
âWeâll see what we can find in Ying city, now just sit properlyâ
âOh yes, and Your Majesty, it said, in LuShan city there is roast lamb, which is quite tastyâ continued BaiYing, the Crown Prince turned his head, slightly frowning hearing the boy stuttering as if someone was teaching him how-to talks.
âSince when did YingYing like lamb chops? YingYing said the lamb was so cute and adorable, and you said you never want to eat it, has YingYing changed your mind now?â
BaiYing stuttered, he seemed to glance behind him and whispered.
âSee Brother, I told you, His Majesty knows Ying didnât like itâ he whispered, as predicted, it was ChenMing who told him to talk.
âXiaoYing, you will like the meat, it tastes really good you knowâ
âYing doesnât like it, the lamb is so cute brother, why should you eat it too?â
âAll that meat will eventually be eaten too, Brother is also curious how the alpacaâs meat tastes like, is it more or less the same?â
BaiYing frowned, thinking he had heard the name before, the moment he realized it, his eyes widen in surprise.
âNo Brother, donât touch Yingâerâs alpaca!â
âIâm just thinking of itâ
âDonât ever think about that, get it out for your mind, fast!â
âThis kid is too muchâ
LuoXiang rolled his eyes upwards, holding his breath for a moment, that little boy.
âHeh kidsâ
