Chapter 229 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 3
Yi Wenjun sat gracefully in the bridal sedan chair, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding clamor of gongs and drums and the joyful laughter.
Her face was calm and serene, showing no trace of the joy, shyness, or anticipation of a typical bride.
Ever since she learned that she would become a concubine of King Jingyu, she had wanted to escape this marriage.
It wasn't until she sat in the bridal sedan chair that the fear in her heart surged like a tide.
She was unwilling to marry Prince Jingyu, unwilling to spend her entire life trapped in this exquisite cage, becoming a caged bird that had lost its freedom.
She didn't want this kind of life.
She wanted to see mountains, seas, the desolate desert, and the turbulent world of martial arts; she didn't want to become a bird.
But that day still came.
The boy who promised to take her away didn't come!
Even though she didn't really expect Ye Dingzhi to come and steal her away, when things actually turned out the way she had anticipated, she still couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.
At that moment, Yi Wenjun thought of many things. All the people she had met and the things she had experienced since childhood flashed through her mind until her memory settled on Ye Dingzhi. The boy's sunny, confident and carefree appearance made her smile slightly.
Amidst a shower of petals, the bridal sedan chair finally landed slowly in front of the hall. Through the thin curtains, she could see a figure dressed in a bright red wedding gown already standing in front of the hall.
Although the face was blurry, Yi Wenjun still recognized that this person was the one she was going to marry today—Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin.
Yi Wenjun's breathing became heavy and rapid. She took a deep breath, clenched her fair hands into fists, and slowly concentrated all the blood and qi in her body. The veins on her arms bulged, making her slender and fair hands look particularly ferocious.
Although it wasn't a pretty sight to see her veins rupture, vomit three liters of blood, and collapse to her death in front of others, it was the only way she could express her unwillingness and defiance.
Gracefully alighting from the sedan chair, Yi Wenjun looked at the hand extended before her eyes, paused for a moment, and just as she was about to place her hand on that hand—
"what!"
A sudden roar, like a sharp blade slicing through the sky, filled with despair and resentment, sent a shiver down Yi Wenjun's spine.
It's Brother Yun—
Yi Wenjun's mood instantly changed from sorrow to joy.
Brother Yun is here!
Brother Yun is really here!
"what--"
Another roar erupted, a sound so loud it seemed to explode in everyone's ears, like a muffled thunderclap.
Xiao Ruojin decisively withdrew her outstretched hand, feeling a little excited, and looked up expectantly in the direction from which the sound came.
The sound was so mournful; I wonder what happened.
Could it be that an enemy has come knocking on our door?
Does that mean I don't need to take a concubine?
With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, Xiao Ruojin looked towards the doorway. In this world where the suppression was almost nonexistent, his mental power emerged from between his eyebrows and spread out in a mighty torrent toward the source of the sound.
A grand and imposing procession?
After transmigrating to this world, his mental power could actually be described as vast and mighty?
Seriously! Xiao Ruojin was practically crying her eyes out.
He loves this world.
……
Outside the Jingyu Prince's Mansion, Ye Xiaoying helplessly covered his ears, which were almost deafened by the loud noise.
Ye Dingzhi, who was on his back, had been beaten to the point of near death by the King of Langya, yet he still managed to wake up from his unconsciousness and let out a series of angry and resentful sounds that nearly deafened him.
"Stop shouting! How can you go and steal the bride in this state?"
However, Ye Dingzhi ignored him, gritting his teeth as he stared at the plaque of Jingyu Prince's Mansion, his eyes almost bleeding. He unwillingly mustered all his strength and roared again:
"what--"
Seeing the guards who had been alerted by the commotion, Ye Xiaoying reached out and slapped Ye Dingzhi on the head, knocking him unconscious.
He then took out the token of the Prince of Langya, gestured to the approaching guards, and said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, he suddenly went mad. I'll take him away immediately."
The guard looked at Ye Xiaoying suspiciously, but upon seeing the token of the Prince of Langya, he stepped aside.
"Stop them—"
A low voice sounded in my ear, but there was no one there.
How could the prince's voice be heard here?
The guard paused in his retreating steps, turned around and saw that no one around him seemed to have heard him, and thought he had misheard.
"You heard me right, stop them immediately."
The voice rang in his ears again, and the guard finally confirmed that he had not misheard. His expression changed abruptly, and his wary gaze fell on Ye Xiaoying and Ye Dingzhi.
"stop!"
Ye Xiaoying rolled his eyes impatiently. He was really annoyed by the people of Jingyu Prince's Mansion, but the situation was beyond his control. He could only turn to the guard and continue to smile obsequiously, "Brother, is there anything else?"
The guards stood in front of Ye Xiaoying again: "Who is this person on your body? I've never seen him before."
"This man is a friend brought by the Prince of Langya. He just drank a few cups of wedding wine and got drunk. He has a bad temper when drunk, and the prince was afraid that he would cause some trouble, so he asked me to take him back first."
“What you say makes sense, but it’s my duty, so I can’t let you go.” The guard shook his head. “So you should stay here and wait for His Highness to deal with it.”
Ye Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat. If he had stayed in the Jingyu Prince's Mansion with this identity, how could he have survived?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoying glanced at Ye Dingzhi, his smile vanished, and he directly brought up Xiao Ruofeng: "I am acting on the orders of the Prince of Langya, do you dare to stop me?"
The guards showed no fear: "We are here on the orders of the Prince and dare not be negligent in the slightest."
Ye Xiaoying's gaze darkened. He didn't know why the guards, who had been perfectly fine just moments before and were even trying to let him leave, had suddenly changed their minds. But he knew he had to leave as soon as possible; he couldn't afford to be left here.
Ye Xiaoying gripped Ye Dingzhi's clothes tightly, his muscles tense.
"Alright then, we'll leave it at that for now..."
At this point, Ye Xiaoying seized the opportunity, picked up Ye Dingzhi, turned around and left, running to the car in a few steps.
But before he could even get into the car, he was suddenly pressed down by a powerful force and couldn't move.
Ye Xiaoying was terrified and hurriedly used his inner energy to resist.
Although his martial arts skills were not as good as Xiao Ruofeng's, it was absolutely impossible for him to be subdued silently.
Moreover, this force came from an unknown source; it was invisible, colorless, and silent, causing no movement in the surrounding celestial phenomena, yet it was incredibly powerful, pressing him down so that he couldn't lift his head.
Could there be a master within the Prince's residence?
However, he often accompanied the Prince of Langya to and from the Prince of Jingyu's residence, where there were several masters, all of whom he knew. He simply couldn't recall which one of them possessed such skill.
An immense force, like a river flowing backward, pressed down heavily on Ye Xiaoying's body.
"what!"
Ye Xiaoying finally couldn't resist the force and fell to his knees with a thud. Ye Dingzhi, whom he was carrying, also fell limply to the ground.
"Lock him up, but don't let anyone see him."
"Yes!"
The guards chasing behind nodded repeatedly upon hearing the sound, and together with several other guards, they found ropes and chains, tied up the two men, and locked them in a secluded place.
