NOVEL WEB Chapter 232 - Because of My Appearance
“How can a fireball be so powerful? Doesn't that mean that it can open mountains and fill seas? ” City Lord Yang's eyes were burning. He really wanted to capture Crown Princess and ask how she made this thing.
A man and a horse walked to his side. The cold air emitted from the cold metal armor caused City Lord Yang to turn his head abruptly. He realized that it was the general of the enemy army, the Black Armored Guard. It seemed like they had quite a high status in this army.
The other party teased, “City Lord, you are thinking too much. These fireballs only have a little bit of explosive power. If we really want to open up a mountain and fill up the sea, I'm afraid we'll have to bring over a mountain of fireballs.”
Yang Feng felt that the voice sounded a little familiar. For a moment, he did not know who it was. He asked, “Then why is this pit…”
“Aiya, this hole, isn't the ground dug by the enemy? As long as we blow it up, we will naturally be trapped.”
Yang Feng patted his head, “Haha, I am stupid. May I ask who the hero is?”
The Black Armored Guard took off their helmet and revealed a young face. Yang Feng pointed at him and exclaimed, “You are… Zhao Sanlang?”
Zhao Sanlang, City Lord Yang naturally knew this young master of State Protector Prefecture, even though he used to be one of them.
“I am the captain of the second team of Black Armored Guard, Zhao Xian. Greetings, City Lord Yang!” Zhao Sanlang smiled and bowed.
“Haha… I didn't expect you to be so successful when I saw you as a playboy!” City Lord Yang looked at the other party's copper skin which was completely different from the milky-white young master in his memory. He didn't know how much hardship he had suffered over the past few years.
The descendants of aristocratic families had an advantage over others. Many young masters of aristocratic families had lived their entire lives without doing anything. They carried a certain official position in the Imperial Court and immersed themselves in their romantic relationships. Only a minority of them would shine brightly and become the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers in the future.
Yang Feng had thought that Zhao Sanlang would be the former. He had never thought that he would be able to see Zhao Sanlang's transformation one day. He wondered if State Protector had ever regretted abandoning them.
Who would dislike such a beautiful child?
A series of drum beats came from the city wall. Yang Feng and Zhao Sanlang looked over at the same time. They saw the unique flag on the city wall waving a few times in the air. Zhao Sanlang put on his helmet and cupped his hands at Yang Feng. “I should go now. We will meet again in the future.”
“This…” Yang Feng did not have time to express his longing. The enemy had already rushed out on his horse and merged into a dark cloud a hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, the Black Armored Guard had left the city.
They had really come and left in a hurry.
If not for the fact that the victory of this war was too real, Yang Feng would have thought that he was dreaming. He turned around and looked at the tall city wall. His admiration for Crown Prince had reached a new beginning.
Crown Prince Zhao slowly walked down the city wall. Hu Jinpeng and Wang Dingjun were beside him. The rest of the guards were at the back. Hu Jinpeng brought the token with him and went with the Black Armored Guard. He had run over when the city gate was opened. It was his mission.
Crown Prince Zhao instructed. Crown Prince Zhao ordered, “Let them find a secluded place nearby to rest for a few days. If they are injured, their next target is Chuzhou City!”
Wang Dingjun wanted to go, but Hu Jinpeng was still faster. “Your subordinate will accept your orders.”
He tried his best to give Hu Jinpeng a look, but the other party did not accept it. He followed Crown Prince Zhao down the city wall without looking at him.
Seeing Crown Prince walk towards Yu Rong Street, Wang Dingjun quickly grabbed Hu Jinpeng and said with a smile, “Your Highness is going to meet Crown Princess, let's not follow, right?”
When Hu Jinpeng heard this reason, he did not have the nerve to disturb the reunion of the couple. He shrugged and stopped walking. The rest of the guards still followed far away.
“Brother Hu, you are being mean. You want to compete with your brother for such a hard and unrewarding job?” Wang Dingjun was so angry that his mouth was crooked. He wanted to go to the Black Armored Guard as well. He had only seen it from afar, but he had never observed it from close range.
This secret troop, Crown Prince Zhao, had been training for five years. In these five years, nearly half of the soldiers had been eliminated. Some could not hold on any longer, and some had died during training. In the end, this batch of Black Armored Guard was born.
They could be said to be the elites among the elites.
Hu Jinpeng grinned. “Brother, you really love to joke. How can I let you do this kind of errand work? You are the lord of a city. You are busy with work!”
Wang Dingjun, the city lord, had not stayed for two days since he took office. Fortunately, there were a group of subordinates around. What to do in the past was still what to do now. As for the potential threats, Wang Dingjun had not taken them seriously ever since he inherited the position.
One should know that if the position of city lord was lost, it would not fall to those uncles and brothers. How could Crown Prince agree to it?
The two of them fought for a while with their eyes, before Wang Dingjun reluctantly left. At the same time, he asked Hu Jinpeng to greet his old friends on his behalf.
The battle in front had stopped, but Yu Rong Street was still busy. When Crown Prince Zhao walked into the street, he didn't even have a place to step down.
There were not enough rooms, so some wounded soldiers could only sit on the ground on the street. Fortunately, these people were not seriously injured. Xiang Ann led a group of volunteers to diagnose and give out medicine, which was very efficient.
Seeing Crown Prince Zhao walk over, Xiang Ann was hesitating if he should kneel down and greet him, but the other party went straight past him, without even leaving a single glance behind.
“Aunt, do you think I'm handsome?” Xiang Ann pointed at his face and asked one of the aunties behind him.
Xiang Ann was also a son of the Shangguan family. Although his father was only a coroner, he was the most famous coroner in the entire South Jin. He had grown up in luxurious clothes since he was young. His skin was fair and his facial features matched perfectly. In the eyes of ordinary people, he already looked like a noble.
“Young Master sure knows how to joke. With your looks, you can get a lot of bandana on the streets, right?”
Xiang Ann thought about it and realized that there really wasn't any. There were handsome young masters everywhere in Ye City, and Xiang Ann didn't stand out among them. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
He suddenly lost confidence in his appearance and muttered, “No wonder His Highness did not see me. It turns out that I am too inconspicuous. Sigh.”
Xiang Ann was feeling sorry for himself. He had never thought that his appearance was more outstanding than Tang Yue's. But no matter where Tang Yue appeared, Crown Prince Zhao would definitely be able to see him at first glance. This had nothing to do with his appearance.
Just as he was about to give up on these messy thoughts, he saw Crown Prince Zhao walk back and ask him, “Where is your master?”
Crown Prince Zhao had not found Tang Yue when he had just entered the house, so he came back to find someone to ask.
Xiang Ann expressionlessly pointed at the treatment room number three. “Master went there. He just sent a wounded soldier. It was said that the injury was too severe. Master could not let it go, so he moved to the treatment room number three.”
Crown Prince Zhao nodded. He turned around and walked towards the third room.
Xiang Ann shouted from behind him, “Ah… Master, Master. Master is busy.”
“What did you call me?” Crown Prince Zhao turned back to look at him.
“Master, Master's wife…” What was wrong? Xiang Ann looked at Crown Prince Zhao in confusion.
Although the man in front of him was obviously a man, his master was also a man. If his master's family did not call his master's mother, what else could they call her?
Crown Prince Zhao gave him the correct answer, “Remember, in the future, call her master's grandfather!”
Oh, so that's how it is. Xiang Ann suddenly understood!
After Crown Prince Zhao left, the aunties behind Xiang Ann started gossiping. “Who is that?”
“Isn't your master Doctor Tang? Why is he Master's Master?” Master is Master's husband, or Master's father? A group of illiterate people thought to themselves.
Xiang Ann shrugged. He consciously did not reveal Crown Prince Zhao's identity. “I can't tell you this.”
Crown Prince Zhao waited outside the door for a long time before he saw Tang Yue walk out tiredly. When he saw Xiang Ann, his eyes lit up. “Is it over?”
Crown Prince Zhao frowned. He went to the side and poured a cup of hot water for him. “How long have you been busy?”
Tang Yue smiled bitterly. “I don't remember. Unfortunately, I still couldn't save him.” The injured soldier had 13 cuts all over his body. The most serious one had been pierced through his heart. He stopped breathing during the treatment.
He put on Tang Yue's cloak and couldn't help but say, “Your Highness, young master has been busy for an entire day and night. He doesn't even dare to drink water. Are you still…”
Before He could finish, Crown Prince Zhao put Tang Yue on his shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Let's go back and rest!”
“Hey, Crown Prince, put me down! … Lee Zhao! Put me down!” Tang Yue struggled. He really wanted to play dead. What should he do? There were so many people watching him along the way.
“Don't move! Otherwise, don't blame me for giving you a lesson!”
Tang Yue wanted to retort, but he was afraid that he would do something inappropriate in public. He could only keep his mouth shut and his eyes closed.
