Chapter 261 Love House and Crow
Yan Yu and Ning Fengzhe got on the carriage one after another.
No one closed the door of the carriage, and even the coachman was worried about the prince's situation, so he didn't dare to move.
Ning Fengzhe sneered in his heart.
So this is the sincerity of King Di Jin. Does he think I'm still a three-year-old child?
If it weren't for his ancestor Yan Huang, who was glorious and brilliant, how could he have his current status?
If a king is unfaithful and unrighteous, and has not a single good point in him, how can anyone be willing to assist him?
He is just a good-looking man who can speak some sweet words and is superficial. What does Xier like about him?
Thinking of this, he heard Yan Yu's deep voice.
"Everyone, please retreat ten miles away. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
Ning Fengzhe stopped thinking and his brows moved slightly.
The Supervisory Office, Zhuang Shao and others were all stunned when they heard this.
Gao Ji gave a solemn remonstrance.
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. We are only ten miles away. Even if the prince is in danger, it is difficult for us to arrive in time to rescue him."
"Besides, the prince is seriously injured. If someone takes the opportunity to assassinate him, he will escape before we notice!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Fengzhe intentionally or unintentionally, with a warning in his eyes.
Feeling his eager gaze, Ning Fengzhe turned a blind eye with indifference.
There was a hint of anger in Yan Yu's eyes.
"Then we will retreat twenty miles. If you continue to talk, we will retreat thirty miles."
Gao Ji was shocked as if struck by lightning.
"Absolutely not, please think twice, Your Majesty!"
All the Supervisory Committee members and Gao Jing knelt down together.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Yun Boyu was still worried about the bowstring. Seeing that they all knelt, he signaled the allies of Nian Renmeng to kneel down with him, for fear that standing alone would attract the prince's attention.
For a time, only Zhuang Shao was independent.
He looked around and followed the advice.
"I am willing to accompany you, and I hope Your Majesty will grant your approval."
Thinking that this was the younger sister's uncle, perhaps Lord Ning wouldn't mind, Yan Yu turned to ask.
"Could Lord Fang accompany me?"
Noticing his gaze, Ning Fengzhe showed a bit of fear.
"Your Majesty has made your decision, and I dare not speak rashly."
Yan Yu roughly understood what he meant and immediately refused.
"My dear Lord Fang, please retreat twenty miles. You don't have to accompany me."
Zhuang Shao felt very uneasy and worried, so he gave a meaningful reminder.
"Your Highness, please do not act on impulse. I have heard from Xi'er that Lord Ning often practices martial arts with her. He is very agile and can do it with ease."
After giving the reminder, he turned to Ning Fengzhe and added leisurely.
"Master Ning, please don't misunderstand me. What I meant is that you two siblings have a very close relationship. It's really enviable."
Ning Fengzhe smiled faintly.
"Thank you for your compliment, Lord Fang. My brother and I both like literature and neglect martial arts. What Lord Fang said is a memory from our childhood. Now, I have already given up halfway due to the difficulties I encountered. How can I deserve such praise?"
Yan Yu remained calm and insisted on his opinion.
"Whether you are agile or neglect martial arts, it doesn't matter."
"You must retreat immediately and not delay my healing."
Gao Jing whispered to each other and asked softly.
"Father, should we secretly ambush a team and protect the prince?"
The distance was not far, so the prince might have heard it. Gao Ji was startled and lowered his voice to scold.
"You little bastard, if you know it's a secret, why do you say it out loud? What if the prince..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Yan Yu's stern admonition.
"I will ask Minister Ning to inspect all places. If you dare to leave anyone behind, no matter who they are, they will be killed without mercy."
Gao Ji lowered his head.
"Wei Chen dare not."
Yan Yu waved her sleeves in a gesture of approval.
"Go."
Everyone hesitated for a long time before they gradually left.
Yan Yu acted in accordance with his words and allowed Ning Fengzhe to search at will.
Ning Fengzhe left as he was told, making sure that no one would stay.
Then he returned to the carriage and smiled.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I can take this opportunity to escape?"
Yan Yu remained calm and responded seriously.
"I have no intention of hurting you. It is good for you to escape. However, Mount Dong is so high that it reaches the sky. It is inevitable that you will be tired if you walk down the mountain. I originally planned to personally send you down the mountain and return home after treating your injuries."
Ning Fengzhe took a short breath, filled with contempt.
"The prince wants to get rid of her as soon as possible, how could he hurt her unintentionally?"
"Since there is no one here, you can just stop being hypocritical. Please forgive me for being so bold, but your little tricks cannot fool my eyes."
Yan Yu's starry eyes were sincere, without a trace of distracting thoughts.
"This plan is just to manipulate you, it really has no intention of taking your life."
Ning Fengzhe glanced at him sideways with a cold look on his face.
"That's Xi'er's concern, what does it have to do with you?"
Yan Yu's brows were filled with confusion and aggrievedness, and she couldn't help but defend herself.
"But she is trapped in the manor and is not here. You made a mistake and fell into the trap. I could have pretended not to know and not come to rescue you, right?"
"I really don't want to kill you."
Luo Yi only saw calculations, Ning Fengzhe smiled with disdain.
"Well, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. Thank you very much."
"Your Majesty, do you know what will happen if I stay here alone?"
Yan Yu's eyes darkened slightly.
"I am not stupid or ignorant, I can barely understand what Lord Fang and Lord Gao said just now."
Ning Fengzhe raised his eyes with a chilling murderous intent.
"Your Majesty has chosen to end his life. I guess he has no desire to live and is willing to die?"
Yan Yu vaguely heard something, and her depression disappeared, and she smiled slightly.
"Why do you have to threaten me with such words, my dear Ning? If you really want to do it, you won't waste your words."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were dark and the curve of his mouth was chilling.
"Your Highness, do you want to say that I have softened my heart?"
"Haha, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. In my life, I have received countless life-saving graces, but I am still decisive in killing. Even when it comes to my life-savers, I will not be merciful."
Hearing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yan Yu lowered her eyes with a look of disappointment.
"So you are such a cruel person."
Ning Fengzhe's demeanor was elegant and refined, yet there was a sense of eeriness about him.
"Is the prince afraid?"
Yan Yu's eyelashes were dark and she felt helpless.
"Who wouldn't be afraid of the Nine Heavens Yellow Spring?"
"I am afraid to die to save you, but I am willing to do so."
As soon as a trace of emotion appeared on his brows, Ning Fengzhe immediately frowned to hide it.
"I dare to ask, why did Your Majesty save me?"
"Don't you know, Your Majesty, that my real identity is a prince?"
"Even crows know to repay their parents. No matter what happens, I will not change my mind. Empty persuasion is useless and a waste of effort. I advise Your Majesty to stop."
Yan Yu shook his head in denial.
"You misunderstood. This is not my intention."
"you……"
Ning Fengzhe's tone suddenly turned sharp and he interrupted him directly with dissatisfaction.
"Since Your Majesty has failed to persuade him, are you going to mock him?"
"I dare not speculate rashly, but I know what the prince wants to say. There is no need for outsiders to say anything. I will speak for myself."
"I think too highly of myself, thinking that everyone would appreciate my talent. It's ridiculous to think that withered seedlings are looking forward to rain and digging your ears is a sign of respect."
"Your Majesty, are you satisfied after hearing this?"
Yan Yu raised his eyes and stared, sighing helplessly.
"You worry too much. I have no intention of mocking you."
His eyes were spotless and untainted as he explained seriously.
"You are the one she cares about. I love you and your family. I will save you even if it means sacrificing my life. I don't want to see her sad."
“That’s why we rescued each other.”
Such an answer was unexpected, and Ning Fengzhe's expression turned into surprise and doubt.
"Love the house and the dog?"
Yan Yu was stunned.
"You don't understand this? Don't you have this idiom here?"
"It means..."
Ning Fengzhe became impatient and interrupted again in a bad mood.
"I am stupid, but I understand."
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
Ning Fengzhe's faint laugh was particularly harsh.
"Oh, love the house and love the dog."
"Perhaps, Your Majesty, does not know my inner thoughts."
Yan Yu nodded firmly.
"This king knows."
Ning Fengzhe looked down at him with disdain.
"You know? How did you know that?"
Yan Yu asked back to explain.
"How can a fellow traveler not know?"
