AFDPIRAB Chapter25

After leaving Yun Jiangli’s house, Yan Muning had a very difficult journey to his place of residence in the city.

 

The distance between them was not far, but the little prince walked out in a hesitant manner. Chen Mo followed behind him without daring to say a word.

 

In fact, when the two of them just came out of the bedroom, Chen Mo saw that he was walking with great difficulty, so he tactfully asked his little master if he needed him to carry him on his back.

 

As a result, the already furious little prince took a big step forward on the spot, and then?

 

There is no more—

 

The little prince almost saluted directly in front of the Yun family’s gate in the yard.

 

At this time, Yan Muning, who was moving forward step by step, had already cursed Yun Jiangli over and over again in his heart.

 

Scumbag! Big liar!

 

.

 

Yun Jiangli stood straight in the middle of the bedroom, with cold air gushing out of his body, as if he were an icicle standing motionless in the room.

 

He was used to being calm and composed, but when he suddenly encountered this, he was so angry that he lost his ability to think. The only thought left in his mind was to catch the brat, but he had no idea where to catch him.

 

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then he realized that he didn’t even know the youth’s name!

 

Xiao Qi?

 

He only knew one piece of information, that is, he was the seventh child in the family. Moreover, he didn’t even know whether that brat was just making it up or not either.

 

Yun Jiangli clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, you little liar!

 

.

 

Yan Muning followed Chen Mo to a small courtyard not far from the city gate. During his time in Jinzhou City, he passed by this inconspicuous courtyard many times, but he never realized that it was the secret guard station.

 

“Your Highness, it’s safe here, please take a rest first.” Chen Mo led him into a warm pavilion.

 

Yan Muning came in and didn’t see anyone else in the courtyard, so he asked, “When are we going to leave? Where are the others?”

 

“There are twelve people coming with the subordinate this time, including the subordinate, seven in the open, and five in the dark. The original secret guards in the post station are also nearby, please rest assured, Your Highness.” Chen Mo paused. “It won’t be too conspicuous if we set out in front of the city gate.”

 

“Chen Mo…”

 

Yan Muning hesitated for a moment but still lowered his voice and asked cryptically, “How much do you know about the news I sent to the capital?”

 

“His Highness did not elaborate, but Chen Bai and the subordinate were ordered to leave the capital on the same day, probably to investigate the matter.” Chen Mo also lowered his voice.

 

Yan Muning frowned. Fifth brother had sent out the most capable people around him ah.

 

“Someone tried to attack me before, but they didn’t kill me. They probably just wanted to kidnap me. I don’t know if the journey will be safe… Please be careful.” Yan Muning had nothing to hide from Chen Mo, so it was always better to tell him in advance and be alert.

 

Chen Mo nodded in agreement.

 

They worked very efficiently and soon had the carriage ready. They just had to wait until it got a little darker so that there would be more carriages and horses leaving the city before setting off.

 

Yan Muning watched Chen Mo bow and leave the room. The strength that had been tense suddenly relaxed. With a frown on his face, he trembled and leaned against the wall to move himself to the narrow couch by the window.

 

“Hiss—”

 

As soon as he sat down, the little prince jumped up: “Ouch…”

 

It’s not exactly painful, but it’s an indescribable feeling, it’s both sore and swollen, which is extremely tiring.

 

The little prince could only lie on the couch with a soft pillow in his arms, mumbling softly, “It’s all his fault. I’m so mad… Ouch, ouch, my waist hurts…”

 

The warm pavilion was bathed in the afternoon sun. The little prince, who had not slept for almost the entire night, lay on the narrow couch and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

 

.

 

“Your Highness, Your Highness?”

 

Chen Mo called him several times before Yan Mu Ning slowly woke up. He half-opened his eyes in a daze and spoke out of habit: “Ah Li, I want to have some wine-brewed Ruyi…”

 

Before he could finish his words, he came to his senses.

 

There is no Ah Li, no Ruyi Cake! The little prince felt aggrieved for some reason.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

Yan Muning slowly sat up on the couch and asked in a depressed and hoarse voice.

 

“Your Highness, please have some soup and food. We are almost ready to leave.” Chen Mo first said the important matter, then looked up at his little master’s listless appearance. He felt a little reluctant and tentatively said, “If you…”

 

“No! Don’t mention it again.”

 

Yan Muning interrupted Chen Mo and stood up first and walked out of the room: “No need to eat, let’s get ready to leave the city.”

 

.

 

Renji Tang is unusually quiet today, the reason is simple: their young master is just too scary.

 

At this time, Yun Jiangli was sitting in the living room on the west side of the backyard of Renji Tang with a cold and handsome face. Ah Xiao and Shopkeeper Qi stood beside him with sad faces.

 

Ah Xiao recognized the short blade in his young master’s hand as the one that Xiao Qi had carried with him before.

 

He had seen the two of them together when they were on duty.

 

This afternoon, ever since his young master entered the gate of Renji Tang, he has not said a word. He sat there staring at the short blade in his hand without moving his eyes away for a moment.

 

He originally looked calm and expressionless, but Ah Xiao had been with Yun Jiangli for many years and had never seen him like this.

 

The whole person exudes a strong and cold oppressive aura, which makes people feel so depressed that they dare not breathe even if they are several feet away.

 

Ah Xiao and Shopkeeper Qi looked at each other, both of them were silent and trembling, not daring to speak. They always felt that if they dared to make a sound now, they would disrupt their young hall master’s thoughts, and the short blade in his hand would probably be moved to another place…

 

The two continued to communicate with their eye contact. In fact, they were both extremely curious. If they were not so weak in fighting, they would really want to gossip already!

 

Although his boss seems to be very difficult to deal with on weekdays and always has a hint of anger on his face.

 

In fact, he just has a cold face. Generally, nothing can disturb his mood…

 

“Ah Xiao.”

 

Yun Jiangli spoke lightly.

 

“Ah?”

 

Ah Xiao, who was lowering his head and making faces at Shopkeeper Qi, was suddenly called by the boss and was so scared that he trembled all over.

 

That’s not right, they were both here, why did the boss choose him?

 

Ah Xiao looked at Shopkeeper Qi with an expression as if he wanted to cry but had no tears, and three big words were written in his eyes: Save me!

 

Yun Jiangli didn’t care about these two men’s expressions at this time. He just silently tightened his short blade and ordered:

 

“Go and arrange for someone to find out the origin of this short blade for me.”

 

.

 

Speaking of which, it was really an accident that Yan Muning dropped the short blade.

 

He was busy with the pox recently, and then he was thinking about how to bring the big beauty home every day. In addition, the recent days are relatively peaceful, so the little prince no longer carries the short blade with him at all times.

 

The day before yesterday, he fell asleep on the desk while reading a storybook in the study. Half asleep and half awake, he felt that the short blade was a bit uncomfortable to put in his sleeve pocket, so he took it out and placed it on the desk.

 

Needless to say, last night was a chaotic situation. When leaving Yun Jiangli’s house today, the little prince was so angry, ashamed, and annoyed that he completely forgot that he had left the blade in the study.

 

.

 

Yun Jiangli confirmed again and again that the youth really ran away after sleeping with him. He felt so angry when he saw the mess in the bedroom that he simply hid in the study to avoid seeing it.

 

There was an open storybook on the desk. It was from a few days ago when the youth was at home suffering from a cold. He was afraid that he would be bored, so he asked Ah Xiao to go to the bookstore to find the most interesting storybook to cheer him up.

 

Now it seems so heartbreaking and ironic.

 

Yun Jiangli snorted coldly, raised his hand to pick up the storybook, but accidentally discovered the short blade pressed under the book.

 

He raised his eyebrows slightly—

 

It seems that the little brat was not so calm when he ran away? He even left behind such a precious thing?

 

But then he thought again, he got even angrier.

 

He even forgot to bring the short blade! But he still needed to bring the fat bird and the fox fur with him!

 

What’s so good about that fat bird!

 

He can’t stay in this house anymore. Everything makes me upset. How can this little brat be so irritating?

 

Yun Jiangli, who originally wanted to catch someone but had no idea how to do it, suddenly remembered something, picked up the short blade, and went straight to Renji Tang.

 

.

 

After hearing the instructions, Ah Xiao responded and took a step forward. Just as he stretched out his hand to take the short blade from Yun Jiangli, he received a critical glare from his boss at close range.

 

“Young, Young Hall Master? Didn’t you ask me to check this short blade?” Ah Xiao shrank his neck, feeling puzzled by the sudden glare from the boss.

 

Yun Jiangli raised his hand and rubbed his brows as if he was tired. After a moment, his voice slowed down a bit: “Check, think of a solution yourself.”

 

“Tell your men to investigate, and you follow me to Wuzhou.” After a pause, he spoke again.

 

Shopkeeper Qi, could no longer hold back his curiosity and boldly asked, “Why are you suddenly going to Wuzhou?”

 

“Catch someone.”

 

When Yun Jiangli mentioned this, he gritted his teeth and said, “The brat has ran away. I have to catch him back.”

 

Shopkeeper Qi and Ah Xiao were shocked: “!!”

 

Oh shit, this is so shocking, the boss’s beloved little beauty has run away!

 

With their curiosity fully satisfied, the two finally put away their burning desire for gossip and went their separate ways to do things according to Yun Jiangli’s instructions.

 

Only Yun Jiangli was left sitting there without moving, with a rare look of confusion in his eyes—

 

He had just calmed down and thought about it carefully. He thought he was quite careful in judging people and things, and he would not be so foolish as to let someone deceive him both physically and mentally.

 

What’s more, the youth has a simple and straightforward temperament.

 

But if the youth wasn’t lying to him, why did he suddenly run away after the two of them were intimate? He really couldn’t think of the reason. It couldn’t be that he… was not good enough?

 

He had also heard that a couple was threatening to divorce because of a disagreement over intimate matters before, and he thought it was just a joke, but now it seems… could it really be true?!

 

Yun Jiangli was stunned. If he really cared about this matter, it was really unnecessary ah.

 

After all, he was also just…

 

He just doesn’t have much experience, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

 

Thinking of this, Yun Jiangli became even more determined to catch the person back as soon as possible. These are all trivial matters. What is there that cannot be discussed?

 

Since the youth asked him to deliver a letter to Wuzhou, regardless of whether he would go directly to Wuzhou after leaving Jinzhou City or not, he should still be able to find some news if he goes there.

 

Yun Jiangli made the decision and stood up quickly, ready to take Ah Xiao with him and leave for Wuzhou City immediately.

 

 

On the other side, Prince An and his entourage, who had already successfully left the city, were now going slowly.

 

As for the reason for the slowness…

 

The little prince’s butt hurt.

 

It’s really frustrating. Who could have imagined that not only can he not ride a horse, but he can’t even ride in a carriage either?

 

Originally, Yan Muning gritted his teeth and tried not to say a word, but due to the heavy rain in the past few days, the road after the carriage left the city was not easy to travel on, and the bumpy ride directly broke him down.

 

Chen Mo, who was riding a horse and guarding nearby, heard his little master crying and swearing in the carriage. He went forward to inquire and only then realized that the little prince’s fragile body was almost torn apart by the carriage.

 

The carriage stopped when passing a tea shop not far from the outskirts of the city.

 

At this moment, the little prince did not bother to ask why the carriage stopped suddenly. He just wanted to take advantage of this gap to slow down for a while.

 

“Knock, knock—”

 

Suddenly, there were two knocks on the carriage, and the corner of the door curtain was opened. Chen Mo poked his head in and said, “Your Highness, the journey is boring. The subordinate will call Chen Tan to come in and accompany you.”

 

Afterwards, a familiar figure nimbly entered. Chen Tan was young, and with his eyes flashing, he crisply said, “Your Highness, Brother Chen Mo said that you were not feeling well, so the subordinate came to take care of you.”

 

After that, he held the two thick cushions in front of Yan Muning and said, “Just sit on them, and it won’t hurt anymore!”

 

Yan Muning: Looking at the two soft cushions in front of him, the little prince was so angry that his eyebrows were throbbing, and he was cursing in his heart again.

 

He suddenly regretted running away!

 

He should sneak into a certain Jiang’s room in the dark of night and kill that man’s little brother with his own hands!

 

The author has something to say:

Yun Jiangli, who was about to embark on the long journey to find his wife, suddenly felt a chill in his crotch…
