C27 (1/2)
Relying on the fact that Tang Yin had hostages in his hands, Wu Mei shouted at the surrounding soldiers, urging them to come closer, she pointed at Yu Shang's nose and asked: ”Who are you?”
”I... ”I …” Yu Shang was as timid as a mouse, and Tang Yin had already scared him out of his wits. Now that an enemy general who was covered in spirit armor was here, his body trembled even more and he stammered, unable to say a word.
How could Wu Mei have the heart to listen to him talk? She used the blade of the Spiritual Knife to smack him on the head, and at the same time shouted: ”Speak!”
”I... It was none other than … Yu Shang! ”
Tang Yin did not know who Yu Shang was, but Wu Mei understood him very well.
After Yu Shang signed up, her body trembled and his eyes widened. He carefully sized Yu Shang up again and then asked with uncertainty, ”Third Prince of Ning Country, Yu Shang?”
Third Prince? Tang Yin was shocked, he could not help but look down at the pale-faced Yu Shang, whose body was trembling nonstop. He knew that the youth he had captured was not someone simple, but he had never thought that he would actually be a prince of Ning Country.
”That's right … It's this prince! ” Yu Shang nodded dumbly, then rolled his eyes. He braced himself and pretended to be calm: ”Since you know who I am, then I … ”I advise you all to immediately release me, otherwise …”
”Haha —” Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wu Mei had already laughed out loud.
She couldn't think of any method or method to capture Yu Shang, but with the large sized protective talisman that was the Third Prince of Ning Country in her hands, it was enough to guarantee the safe return of her party members to the Tong Gate.
Just then, she calmed down and nodded at Tang Yin, praising him with a smile: ”General Tang, I was not wrong about you, you have done a great deed this time!” Without waiting for Tang Yin to reply, she looked at Yuan Kui, raised his voice and asked: ”Are you General Yuan?”
Yuan Kui was startled, for the other party to be able to call his name, he was obviously not an ordinary person. He said in a deep voice, ”That's right, it's this general. And who is your excellency?”
”Wu Mei!” Wu Mei laughed gently.
Ah!” So she was a flirtatious girl! Yuan Kui was no stranger to choreographing. He had long heard that one of the most illustrious dancers in the Windy Nation was a charmer. She was also one of the most outstanding dancers of the new generation.
If not for the fact that Her Highness Yu Shang was captured first, none of the enemies in front of him would have been able to escape. If they could capture Wu Mei alive, it would have been a great contribution, but now, he did not seek for any merits, she only wished to save Yu Shang and be able to thank the heavens.
He took a deep breath and said seriously: ”General Wu, as long as you ask your men to release His Highness, I can use my reputation to guarantee that I won't hurt any of you. I will immediately let you leave this place.”
Wu Mei chuckled, and slowly shook her head.
Yuan Kui's face sank, and asked coldly: ”Does General Wu not believe in my, Yuan Kui's, character?”
Wu Mei shrugged and said calmly, ”Right now, I won't trust anyone. General Yuan, I can make it clear, as long as I can bring my subordinates back to the Tong Gate successfully, at that time, Your Country's Prince will definitely return it to you unharmed! ”
Yuan Kui's face was gloomy as he asked: ”There is no longer any room for discussion?”
Wu Mei did not reply, she only turned to look at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was so smart that he didn't even need to dance to know what she meant just by looking at his. He pinched Yu Shang's neck and tightened his grip. He did not use much strength, but the latter was already wailing in pain and waving his arms and legs.
Yuan Kui, who was not afraid of anything, was afraid of Yu Shang. Seeing that, he first instinctively leaned forward, and then, pulled on the reins, taking a few steps back, he raised his hand, and anxiously said: ”Good, good, good, as long as you do not harm Your Highness, I will accept your conditions!”
”Smart!” Wu Mei laughed tenderly: ”Since that's the case, let's not linger any longer. General Yuan, we will meet again someday!” With that, she turned to her subordinates and said, ”Let's go!”
He could only watch as Wu Mei and her sister carried Tang Yin and the others through the checkpoint and headed towards the Tong Gate. Several General of Ning Country disciples ran over and asked nervously, ”General Yuan, are we really going to let them pass just like that?”
”What else can I do?” Yuan Kui looked at the people around him, gritted his teeth and said, ”His Highness is in his hands, if there was even a slight loss, who could afford it?”
All the General of Ning Country s looked at each other, unable to say a word.
Yuan Kui frowned, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then spoke to one of his trusted aides: ”The third prince has fallen into the hands of the enemy, this is a very important matter, and can't be concealed anymore, you must quickly ride on your horse and inform the second prince, let His Highness prepare.”
”Understood!” He did not dare to delay any longer and immediately turned his horse around, waving his whip and galloping towards the Tong Gate.
After he left, Yuan Kui did not stay idle either, leading thousands of his soldiers and following closely behind Wu Mei and his group.
As for Tang Yin and the others, after successfully exiting the Ning Country barrier, they all heaved sighs of relief.
Wu Mei removed the spirit armor on her body, revealing her original appearance. Her charming eyes curved as she looked at Tang Yin, and said: ”General Tang, the reason I was able to escape this time was all thanks to you!”
Tang Yin didn't feel anything from Wu Mei's alluring look, but Yu Shang, who was on top of the horse, stared straight at him. His mouth slowly opened wide, almost falling out of his mouth, as he forgot about the dangerous situation of being captured.
