Chapter 36: Brother YiFang

One of the BeiYau men came and reported,

Not long after that BeiYau reported what his men found.

“The last sightings of the man in black were around the Valley of Mourned, but some saw them on the other side near the Red Forest; it’s possible that His Highness Concubine Hua might be among these places.” BeiYau pointed to the map.

LuoXiang clenched his fist.

“What do they want from YingYing? Why it’s necessary to take him away if they could kill him on the spot?” LuoXiang said in the hope he might be right, those people still need him alive so he still has the time of replaceing him.

Beiyau glance at General PoYang beside him.

PoYang lowered his head to the Crown Prince.

.....

“Your Highness, I will take my men to sweep Red forest while BeiYau dan other can go to Valley of Mourned, the movement of Black Water Clan is so slick, at this moment we don’t have not many choices”

LuoXiang nodded, General PoYang is known for his analytical and strategic capability, he can be relied on.

LuoXiang got up from his seat.

“Then, BeiYau, gathered your men and we rushed to Valley of Mourned, at meanwhile keep spread your men at the town around Hua Mansion, who know those people still looked up for the situation”

BeiYau lowered his head

“Yes Your Highness, em..” BeiYau raises his head seeing the Crown Prince get ready.

“Eh Your Highness, eh servant being insolent, but, servant thought Your Highness should be better stay and waiting at the palace, Your Highness wound is still not recovered yet”

LuoXiang turned his head and stared at BeiYau, makes the man lowers his whole body down on his knee.

“Please forgive servant for being insolent”

LuoXiang wore his wrist armor and tied it.

“YingYing is my responsibility, I promised to protect him and now he’s gone, as long as I’m still alive, no one can ever touch him”

....

At the valley, the air is so fresh, the wind blew so light and leave the sounds of small creature around who plays with their mates. this place looks so secure, surrounded by high rocks and cliffs, large dense trees, almost invisible from outside, that’s what may be his brother YiFang feel relieved leaving there alone.

Really nice atmosphere, but BaiYing can’t even get out of there because of his health condition, he had a bad headache and hurt on the chest, and has no choice but to stay there and try to enjoy his time, some cute little chicken roaming around on the lawn in front of him, some goats, cute rabbits who being his friends.

What else he can do now? Although his heart still aches and can’t go out, even just to visit his parent’s tombs, he will try to think positively about what’s going on.

YiFang showed up from the end of the road walked towards him, he went back to the town to buy some food ingredients while BaiYing waited for him there, he didn’t know when that man leaves, just when he wake up this morning he was gone.

“Brother Ying!”

YiFang came near him with some food wraps for him.

“XiaoYing, look what Brother Fang bought for you, we have roasted chicken, some cookies, and brother also took the time to buy you some clothes since yours is so limited, and..” YiFang stopped his voice since BaiYing just ignored him, he’s just busy playing with cute bunnies on his feet and doesn’t mind about YiFang.

“Eh Ying’er”

BaiYing turned at him.

“Brother, where are we? Why do you take me here instead of the town? This place is not bad, but every time you need to get back and forth to town to buy this and that, why not just go there? And also, His Highness the Crown Prince must be so worried about me, he must be looking for me everywhere”

“Em, brother want to go back there again? Ying’er said it’s so hard to get out, why do you want to get back in there? We will leave here after your condition gets better so you don’t have to think too much about that person anymore, after all, the situation is not safe now, brother worried that those people will replace you again.”

BaiYing thought it’s a little bit strange because he felt he was too comfortable there and don’t have to think that the murderers are still out there and targeting him, maybe since YiFang thought this place was so safe and he wasn’t afraid to leave him alone.

“Um, yeah, Ying’er doesn’t want to go back to that horrible palace after it’s so hard tried to get out, em, then brother, when can Ying’er visit Father and Mother and the entire Hua’s family tombs? Brother said that if they were buried in a family cemetery near the foot of the mountain, let’s go there, brother ”

“We can’t Ying’er, the killers might replace you, we’ll better wait for the right time, at least until the situation settles down and your condition allows you to run, right now, we can’t take the risk.”

BaiYing folded his knees, put his head on then tilted his head to see YiFang again, YiFang was an orphan, his family was his family’s business partner until the fire burned down the house and all the property in it, brother YiFang’s both parents died when he was a kid so he raised by his uncle and aunt, who moved to another city when their house caught fire, but because YiFang had been betrothed to his sister BaiYen since childhood, he did not go and live to work around the city, lastly, BaiYing got the information that YiFang was one of the workers in the expedition group in a city with a pretty good income, maybe this house was bought by the money of his work.

“Brother Fang, do you miss my sister?” BaiYing’s question made YiFang, who was preparing the roast chicken he bought to eat, stop his hand, then smile.

“Eh, do you think your sister misses YiFang brother too?”

BaiYing pulled his lips, he knew how his sister’s character was, even though she was engaged to YiFang since they were a child, but since YiFang’s family went bankrupt, his sister immediately moved away from him, even trying to break off the engagement at all costs, it certainly broke YiFang’s heart, he knew how it hurt his heart so much.

“Brother Fang, please forgive my sister, she is just like that, but, in fact, she is not that bad either, like mother, my sister words sometimes so rude, as if, she only cares about money and nothing else, but just like Mother who loves Father, just like when he has financial difficulties, even though her mouth was sharper than a knife, she still tries to cheer him up, well, it is not so obvious, but mom is not that bad, so you just have to be patient with her, will you?”

YiFang took a deep breath, smiled looking at BaiYing, grabbed his hand.

“Then, do you hate me too? Because brother doesn’t have much money to make your sister’s life happy?”

BaiYing shook his head.

“Heh, no brother, why does Ying’er have to hate you? That money is not Ying’er’s business, the important thing is that bother Fang can feed Ying’er when I’m hungry and it’s enough, hehe Ying’er doesn’t need much, em, clothes like this is not bad, at least I don’t have to wear any breast patches or dress up like a girl, emm Ying’er like it brother ”

YiFang tried to hold back his tears, he nodded as he pulled BaiYing into his arms when YiFang’s hand hugged him, BaiYing saw a scratch that looked fresh on the young man arm, he wanted to ask but maybe it was just a normal wound because he often went to the forest to hunt and fetch firewood, he might get the scratch at that time, however, that’s just a thought popped into BaiYing’s head.
