    Chapter 65 Rescued

    Crack.

    An arrow broke in half and fell to the ground.

    Yu Yuan frowned.

    He stared at the arrow.

    This was the second time today.

    Previously, when he drew the bow, he never broke an arrow.

    “Yu Yuan, what are you thinking about?” Qi Er frowned.

    His hand was still bandaged, but color had returned to his face.

    “What’s this?” Qi Er exclaimed, “This cord is so ugly.”

    Ah Mu had personally woven it for him for the Dragon Boat Festival.

    Yu Yuan silently picked up the cord and put it into his clothes.

    Fingernails dug into his palm.

    The bad premonition in Yu Yuan’s heart was getting stronger and stronger.

    “This next operation is critical. Yu Yuan, you’re the deputy leader, you must do well,” Qi Er seriously said.

    “……Mmm,” Yu Yuan nodded.

    He packed up his weapons and was about to leave when a man barged in in a panic.

    The person looked extremely familiar.

    Before Yu Yuan could recall who he was, Qi Er exclaimed, “Xiao Qing? Why are you here?”

    Xiao Qing?

    Yu Yuan remembered.

    Xiao Qing’s father was Father Yan’s best friend, and they’d previously gone to another part of the country to purchase flower seeds.

    Meanwhile, Xiao Qing himself was a guard of the Shenji Battalion, and he was currently working at the bookstore.

    Xiao Qing looks so panicked, could something have happened at the store?

    Yu Yuan’s heart immediately grew anxious.

    Sure enough, Xiao Qing glanced at Yu Yuan, then turned back to Qi Er and asked, “Where’s His Highness?”

    “You’re a member of the Shenji Battalion too, so you should know what His Highness is currently busy with. It’s better if you don’t bother him,” Qi Er said.

    “Something has happened!” Xiao Qing said anxiously.

    “What can happen to a bookstore?” Qi Er laughed and said, “Most of the people helping at the bookstore are guards from the Shenji Battalion. With all of you there, who dares to go and make trouble?”

    “It’s Miss Yan!” Xiao Qing was even more anxious, “Miss Yan left early in the morning and hasn’t come back yet!”

    “Girls love to shop, sometimes, Hua Ping also shops all day and doesn’t come back……” Qi Er was unconcerned, but Yu Yuan interrupted his words.

    “Ah Mu doesn’t love shopping. She’ll always leave after making her purchases,” Yu Yuan pursed his lips.

    “Yu Yuan is right, Miss Yan has never been out shopping for this long,” Xiao Qing said. “Our men felt like something wasn’t right, so we went out and asked our network, and after investigating, discovered something shocking.”

    “What?” Qi Er realized that something was wrong.

    “I went to ask our brothers in charge of guarding the jewelry store, and they said they saw the Eldest Prince take away a woman in pink,” Xiao Qing anxiously said. “Our brothers there hadn’t seen Miss Yan before, so they didn’t take it seriously.”

    The Eldest Prince was licentious and unprincipled, liked people’s wives, and often used various means to bring different women back to his residence.

    The men on guard’s initial anger also turned to numbness.

    “……What did the Eldest Prince take away Miss Yan for,” Qi Er was also confused.

    While they were at Qingshui Village, the people of the Shenji Battalion had been cared for by the Yan family, so Qi Er also realized the seriousness of this matter.

    “Miss Yan is so good at making money, capturing her could be to provoke His Second Highness,” Xiao Qing said. “It’s also possible that…… maybe……”

    He looked at Yu Yuan and stammered, not daring to say anything further.

    “Maybe what?” Yu Yuan had been silent from the start, and only now did he speak up.

    He took a deep breath, only to feel his throat tighten, and even talking was a little difficult.

    Since things had come to this, Xiao Qing closed his eyes and didn’t hold back3破罐子破摔 (pò guànzi pò shuāi) – smashing the pot into pieces just because its cracked; be self-abandoned; write oneself off as hopeless and act recklessly.

    “Miss Yan was born so beautiful, the Eldest Prince might’ve taken a fancy to her,” Xiao Qing anxiously said.

    Seeing Yu Yuan’s deep eyes, Qi Er knew that things were bad and he hurriedly comforted him, “If the Eldest Prince really took a fancy to Miss Yan, then he won’t harm her life, right?”

    Advertisements

    “Brother Qi!” Xiao Qing hurriedly said, “You don’t know the Eldest Prince’s character. He has always treated women like playthings, and most women won’t survive more than three days in his hands.”

    As soon as the words left his mouth, Qi Er felt Yu Yuan’s body stiffen.

    A piercingly cold wind seemed to blow beside Yu Yuan.

    It was obviously autumn, but standing beside him, Qi Er felt chills run down his spine. 

    Like an unsheathed fish-gut sword4鱼肠剑 (yúchángjiàn) – A type of sword with theories that such that the sword is small enough to be hidden in the fish’s belly and so on. To read further: https://min.news/en/history/68bcb1056ec3bc6eadd3c03ef7442962.html

    Might look something like this:
    at midnight, his body was emitting an terrifyingly murderous sword aura.

    Qi Er secretly knew how bad the situation really was.

    He knew the reason why His Second Highness had made Yu Yuan the deputy leader of this operation.

    Right now, the Shenji Battalion was at the ready.

    The arrow was nocked on the string and had to be fired.

    Right now, if Yu Yuan left because of Yan Mu, then His Second Highness’s suspicions of Yu Yuan could no longer be cleared.

    “Yu Yuan, don’t be impulsive,” Qi Er advised. “The mission this time is extremely important, you should know that.”

    This operation was both a test and a chance for Yu Yuan.

    If Yu Yuan succeeded in defeating the enemy’s great general, then his prestige and status in the Shenji Battalion would be significantly boosted.

    But if Yu Yuan deserted.

    Then, he would be proving the speculation in His Second Highness’s heart right, and there was no further chance to get involved with central affairs in the future.

    “Yu Yuan, you must think it over.” Ah Bu had also come to a decision.

    Yu Yuan lowered his head and didn’t speak.

    It seemed like both a long time, and yet only a moment had passed.

    He raised his head, his eyes deep, and seemed to have made a decision.

    “I’m very grateful for the kindness of His Second Highness,” he said indifferently. “For a lowly person like me, to be valued by His Second Highness, I should’ve done all I could to repay him.”

    Xiao Qing froze and looked at Yu Yuan with slight disbelief.

    Meanwhile, Qi Er and Ah Bu looked relieved.

    “But……” Yu Yuan tightly clenched his fists, and his jaw muscles5masseter/musculus masseter – one of the four muscles responsible for the action of mastication (chewing) bulged slightly, “If I don’t have Ah Mu by my side, then everything I’ve got is meaningless.”

    Money, power.

    All these were just adding flowers to the brocade6锦上添花 (jǐnshàng-tiānhuā) – an idiom; fig. to give sth additional splendor; to provide the crowning touch.

    If these were gone, he could find a way to get them again.

    But Ah Mu……

    The world was big, the earth and sky were vast, and the people were numerous.

    But, there was only one Yan Mu.

    No one could replace Yan Mu.

    So, he couldn’t gamble his future with Yan Mu’s life.

    “Yu Yuan……” Qi Er and Ah Bu’s expressions were complicated.

    “I’m sorry,” Yu Yuan said. “Once I confirm Ah Mu’s safety, I’ll personally apologize to His Second Highness.”

    “No need, I heard everything.” Chu Cong slowly walked out from behind the tent. “I’ll ask you again, have you thought it over?”

    Yu Yuan nodded without hesitation.

    “Yan Mu is also considered my subordinate, I won’t stand by and watch when she’s in trouble,” Chu Cong dully said. “Bring a small team with you.”

    Yu Yuan thanked Chu Cong, then got on his horse and left with the team and Xiao Qing.

    Chu Cong looked at Yu Yuan’s retreating figure and remained silent.

    Ah Bu tentatively asked, “Your Highness, earlier you were prepared to recommend Yu Yuan for promotion…… and now?”

    “There’s no need to anymore.” Chu Cong interrupted him, then turned around and said, “Also, since Yu Yuan has left, then you’ll still be deputy leader.”

    “……Yes,” Ah Bu softly sighed.

    ***************

    The fire was getting bigger and bigger.

    Perhaps due to inhaling too much smoke, even Yan Mu’s cries for help were extremely weak.

    The fire licked the wood, snapping and crackling.

    The flames lit up the sky, and a constant stream of charred wood fell from the ceiling.

    Fortunately, none of the falling logs fell on Yan Mu.

    She couldn’t open her eyes from the thick smoke.

    No, I can’t sit and wait for death.

    Yan Mu bit her lip till it bled, struggling to stay awake.

    She was tied to a load-bearing post with nothing nearby to save herself with.

    The fire rose and rose. The flames gradually approached Yan Mu, but she simply steadied her heart.

    The hemp rope rubbed her hands red, and Yan Mu vigorously moved her hands towards the flames.

    The pain of the tight hemp rope mixed with the pain of the burning flames.

    The feeling was intensely overwhelming.

    Yan Mu instantly felt a lot more clear-headed.

    The blaze grew more intense, and the flames gradually licked at Yan Mu’s wrists.

    Yan Mu felt like a piece of roasted meat, cooked by the fire, sizzling.

    In order to distract herself, Yan Mu silently counted in her heart.

    One, two, three……

    The hemp rope binding Yan Mu was ignited by the fire.

    Five, six, seven……

    The hemp rope was burned black.

    Yan Mu endured the pain with great difficulty and continued counting.

    Just as she reached the count of ten, she finally felt her wrists loosen.

    Yan Mu hurriedly withdrew her hands.

    Her hands had already turned black and blistered by the fire, looking terrifying. 

    If this was before, she would have long cried out in pain.

    But right now, she didn’t dare to cry.

    She had to conserve her strength, and couldn’t waste it on something like crying.

    Yan Mu’s hands hurt when she touched them. She grit her teeth and untied the rope.

    The moment the rope was loosened, Yan Mu had nothing to support herself with and fell directly to the ground.

    “Wuu,” she let out a muffled grunt.

    Yan Mu wanted to get up, but her body was too weak from all the carbon monoxide she’d inhaled.

    Right where she fell, there was a golden hairpin.

    It was the one that Ah Yu had given her.

    Yan Mu struggled to crawl over and hid the golden hairpin in her arms.

    This was a gift from Ah Yu. If it’s lost, he’ll definitely cry.

    Yan Mu tried to gasp for air, but all she inhaled was smoke.

    Her consciousness gradually blurred.

    She desperately tried to open her eyes wide to keep herself awake.

    She even poked the burn on her hand as hard as she could.

    But to no avail, her consciousness was getting more and more blurry.

    There seemed to be many hallucinations appearing in front of her.

    She saw herself back in modern times, publishers scrambling to buy her copyright, and not hesitating to fight over it.

    The scene shifted, and she also saw her mother smiling and waving at her.

    And then, all of it disappeared.

    Yu Yuan’s face lingered in her mind.

    I wonder what Yu Yuan is doing…… 

    It’s been too long since I’ve last seen him, I miss him so much.

    Yan Mu closed her eyes in a daze, but Yu Yuan’s voice seemed to reach her ears.

    “Ah Mu! Ah Mu!”

    Is this an illusion?

    Yan Mu couldn’t open her eyes anymore.

    She felt herself being carefully carried up, and someone choked out that he was late.

    This must be an illusion. How can Yu Yuan cry?

    Yan Mu thought that she was probably dead.

    Wind whistled past her ears, she was rescued from the fire.

    The cool autumn breeze blew against her face. Yan Mu coughed a few times, taking deep breaths of fresh air.

    Because she finally got some oxygen, she seemed to regain a little consciousness.

    Yan Mu reluctantly opened her eyes, and what came into her vision was Yu Yuan’s jaw.

    There seemed to be a crystal droplet hanging there.

    Is that sweat?

    Yan Mu hazily reached out, trying to wipe away that water droplet for Yu Yuan.

    However, she just covered his jaw in blood.

    “Ah Mu, don’t move. Xiao Qing already went to call the imperial physician, you’ll definitely be fine.” Yu Yuan pretended to be calm, but his voice couldn’t stop shaking.

    Is this a hallucination before I die?

    Yan Mu unconsciously grabbed the hem of Yu Yuan’s clothes.

    The teenager lowered his head, and his usually cold and deep black pupils were currently filled with panic and madness.

    Yan Mu spoke with difficulty, “I’m sorry…… I can’t continue to accompany you anymore.”

    Her voice was hoarse from the smoke.

    After speaking, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.

    In front of her was darkness, and Yan Mu completely lost consciousness.
