CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE
Chapter 719 - 719 State of Li’s Affair

719 State of Li’s Affair

Bai Ying was just about to head to his horse, Xiao Hei, when he heard a voice from the other end of the road.

“Young master Hua, wait for me!” he was Young Master Su approaching on his horse. Bai Ying pursed his lips, he knew what the young man was going to do to him, but the young man thought he didn’t know the trick. He tries to persuade him with his charm or whatever he did and take him wherever he goes, but he is not a kid who can be fooled just like that. Who’s he? He is the King of Realm, is that young man willing to fight a crocodile with a lizard? Bai Ying would just ignore him, casually mounted his horse, and lead it toward the end of the street where the old man had given directions earlier.

“Young master Hua, uh, little brother Bai Ying, wait for me!”

The sun is getting hotter. With great difficulty, Bai Ying finally managed to escape from Young Master Su and entered the small path leading to the White Fox Valley. That might be the right direction because according to the resident he met on the street he only needed to follow the path until he found some large stones to be used as directions. If only he can replace the stones. And here it is, he thought, he might have found it. Wait, could it be this easy? No, he hadn’t even found the valley yet, according to the villagers no one had managed to replace the valley and let alone come out of there to tell about it.

Bai Ying was still stunned in place when someone stopped beside him. Young master Su finally caught up with him. That young man is so fully determined, what does he want from him?

He looks exhausted from chasing Bai Ying.

“Young master Hua, uh, little brother Hua, why don’t you wait for me”

Bai Ying only looked at the young man for a while, then was about to continue on his way. But this time young master Su’s hand was holding the reins of his horse.

“Wait, Brother Hua, where are you going? Why such in hurry?”

.....

Bai Ying pulled his rein from Young Master Su’s hand and continued to walk to the path in front of them, although it looked quite scary. He can’t see the other side, anything but ghost, he thought.

“Stay away from me, don’t keep following me”

“No, I can do that, what if there tiger or bear who’s going to eat you, it’s so dangerous out here”

“I think you are threatener than them”

Thick fog appeared in front of the road as Bai YIng’s horse trotted into the small path that would not be seen if not for the villagers’ guidance. Young master Su’s big horse followed him from behind.

“Junior Hua, wait for me!”

...…

An open field in one of the valleys of Li country’s border with neighboring Tania. The bloody fierce battle with unavoidable fallen soldiers. The pungent smell of half-burnt bodies that were carried away by the passing wind. Remains rainwater still dripping from the heavy rain last night was visible at the ends of the flagpoles and the partially burnt trains. Several flags with different symbols fell to the ground around the stiff bodies who died miserably with their bodies covered in wounds.

The civil war in the state of Li.

When the Queen fell ill, the Queen’s children began to plan to seize the seat of power. Unexpectedly the two oldest sons clashed to the point of scuffling by attacking each other and that’s making the country in deep chaos with battle almost every day.

Two months passed. And Crown Prince Luo Xiang and Bei Yau came only as envoys of peace, without being able to interfere, however, that was not the main purpose of Luo Xiang coming to that country. Since chasing Bai Ying’s trail from Chang San until now, it doesn’t feel like two months have passed without any news of the boy’s whereabouts, he has searched every corner of the city to the forest within the White Fox valley, but, he has completely disappeared from the sight.

Bei Yau approached the Crown Prince who was standing facing the square where Yue Yang’s army had gathered for defense. General Lin Mo led his men to train in the morning. The morning sun was quite hot. The sky in Bu San is not like in San Po or Pai Hua. There the distance to the sun is closer because the ground is higher. Making the air colder and also hotter than it used to be.

“Your Highness, everyone has arrived,” Bei Yau said bowing his head behind Luo Xiang who was standing with a far-sighted look in front of him. He glanced at Bai Yau who stood with his head bowed behind him. Holding his breath as he clenched his two hands that he put behind his waist.

“Heh” then threw one hand forward, turned his body, and passed by Bei Yau.

“Come, Bei”

Bei Yau lowered his head as the Crown Prince walked past him.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

The multi-purpose hall among the buildings in the allied headquarters, including Yue Yang.

The crowds began to be heard not long after Crown Prince Luo Xiang, through Bei Yau conveyed the decision that had been agreed upon by the allies including Tania country which was closest to the small country. However, the small country’s civil war has affected the lives of all citizens including the citizens of Tania who have been caught in the war several times and died ridiculously. There’s the Crown Prince of Tania sitting beside Luo Xiang who this time was appointed as the leader of the allied representative.

The noise came from the Princes and Princesses of the Li Empire who were sitting in a row not far in front of Luo Xiang in the circular room.

“I can’t, I don’t agree, what’s the guarantee that he will also retreat, what if he breaks his promise and chooses to take over the palace when I withdraw all my troops” cried Queen Sun Na’s eldest son. The second prince got up from his seat.

“I also can’t possibly believe that this guy would withdraw his troops after I retreated, he’s such a cunning person, even hesitatingly thrusting his daughter into the frontlines for a life and death battle, what kind of person is that!” the two again nearly get into a fistfight if it weren’t for the other Princesses in the middle.

“Calm down Brother”

The commotion was unavoidable. Everyone in the room, including the old Ministers of the Li palace and the generals of the two sides looked at one another. The enmity between the two has clearly made the country chaotic and divided into two. Not to mention the neutral party for not supporting the two of them to become the supreme leader of this small, prosperous country.

“Watch your tongue, you yourself are no lower than an animal, you are trying to sleep with your own niece, you savage!” cried the first Prince.

“You savage, who knew you would send your own daughter as a spy, you lecher!”

The two almost clashed, but several of General Lin Mo’s men separated the two of them, in the room, to avoid a commotion, only peacekeepers were allowed to be in the room.

“Please Your Highness, get back to your seat,” said the chief of soldiers to the two Princes. But neither of the two big men wanted to give in, both of them glared as if they were ready to attack until they were satisfied.

“Better just throw him in jail for having sex with minors!” cried the first prince. The second prince glared.

“You are the one who should be put in jail for pushing your innocent daughter into a prostitute, what kind of father are you”

And these two can’t seem to stop. Until a very loud voice was heard from the front.

“Prangg!”

All eyes turned. Wide-eyed saw what happened to the small table that was beside Crown Prince Luo Xiang, which in an instant was crushed to dust on the floor, there was still smoke visible as if the wood had been burnt from the wood what was once a solid round table and now it is gone. Crown Prince Luo Xiang did it, who else? Even though he still managed to save the cup of tea along with the saucer that was now in his hand. He took a small sip and glanced at the maid behind him to take it from his hands.

Everyone fell silent. Crown Prince Luo Xiang was famous for his cold nature and didn’t say much, and he also didn’t like crowds, let alone meetings like this.

“Bei, tell them, they have no other choice, withdraw the troops or we will do it by force,” said Luo Xiang.

His words made the Princes and Princesses swallow their saliva whole. Who dares to go against the Crown Prince of Yue Yang whos known for his amazingly incredible martial arts?
