149 You Were Eavesdropping? (1/2)

Princess Lingchen has long guessed that Prince Lu Wei did not have an ordinary background. Although Jiang Xiao Tian had told her a few things, she did not expect that Chief Ye would know a way to bring back her cousin, Mingyue. Her widened eyes were looking at both Jiang Xiao Tian and Chief Ye alternately.

The room was silent for a while.

”I heard you requested the same thing from Wei Wei,” Chief Ye said. ”I am very grateful to your sister as she had saved Wei Wei's life. However, I cannot help you in this matter.”

Princess Lingchen stepped before the old lady swiftly and knelt on both knees. Instantly, the room filled with sounds of gasp. However, no one dared to step forward to help the Crown Princess up.

”Chief Ye, if there is a way to save Mingyue, you have to help us. I will do anything within my capabilities.”

The old lady sighed and helped the princess up. ”Please Your Highness, don't do this. You must never forget your status. If others know that you have lowered yourself like this, wouldn't this get me killed?”

The Crown Princess rose up. She did not give much thought of her action. She had acted on impulse when she heard that there is hope to bring back Mingyue. After all, she had grown up with this cousin, and Mingyue was very important to her.

”It's not that I did not want to help you,” Chief Ye said. ”It's just that I cannot help you. If you had made this request before our tribe was forced to live in seclusion, then I can probably help you. Back then, during the war between our clan and the imperial family of Sui Country, the portal was destroyed.”

…

Yang Yun arrived at the military camp early in the morning. Once he told his reason to visit, a soldier then escorted him towards the young general tent. Just as the soldier was about to walk in and announced Yang Yun's arrival, Yang Yun stopped his movement. Then, he placed his forefinger on his lips, a signal for the soldier to keep silence.

”What is it?” the soldier asked in a hushed voice.

”Is the general with a guest?”

The soldier nodded. ”Yes. The second young master came to find the general just before you arrived.”

”I got I,” Yang Yun said. ”You can leave now. I will wait here until they come out.”

The soldier watched Yang Yun for a couple of seconds before he retreated.

As Yang Yun was quite proficient in the martial art, he had an excellent sense of hearing too. Just then, when they approached the young general's tent, he could hear the two brothers were talking about Mingyue. Hence, he made the soldier stopped and leave.

Yang Yun stepped closer to the tent, but try to keep his distance so that the people inside the tent will not be alarmed.

”According to Chief Ye, without the portal, there is no other way for them to open up the path that could lead us to where Mingyue was.”

When Yang Yun got closer, these were the words that he heard, coming from Jiang Xiao Tian's mouth.
