DRAAAASSHH!
Yi Hua was convinced by now that his eyes might be being protected by the body of a cow. It was because he could still see, even though the dust had come like rain. His clothes were already filled with dust everywhere. Yi Hua unconsciously gritted his teeth, and he knew that he had chewed on sand.
Hey, so it ended up being like this?
The Blind Priestess who was feared by all the royal beings had now vanished with the dust. Everything just happened so that Yi Hua could not be grateful for anything from this incident. Let's say they managed to eradicate the enemy of the kingdom, but ...
He didn't feel happy one bit. It even feels hollow like eating beef that feels bland.
Xiao exclaimed in Yi Hua's ear, "Why do you need to be disappointed, HuaHua? You must remember that getting rid of the enemy of the kingdom is your job."
BRUGH!
Yi Hua could only grimace as his back was forcefully lying on a stretch of sand.
"Mr An ... What ..."
SRETT!
YO! YO! WHY OPEN YOUR OUTER ROBE SO?
Yi Hua wanted to protest loudly, but his voice did not come out. Plus An simply untied the outer robe, and spread it around Yi Hua. So that Yi Hua was in the protection of An's great robe. An did that only so that Yi Hua would not be swept away by the swiftness of the sandstorm.
From inside An's robe, Yi Hua could hear a loud storm start to spring up again.
He could not even imagine how hard the sandstorm rained down on An's body. However, Yi Hua was still centered on his thoughts until he only realized when the chest of the field was presented before him.
Yi Hua wanted to wipe her chin for fear of her saliva coming out. But his hand pressed by An to the surface of the sand is clearly unusable. So that Yi Hua only prayed not to appear with embarrassing circumstances.
This was the first time Yi Hua had seen him. It was all because An had obviously never undressed in front of Yi Hua. After all, there was clearly no benefit in An undressing in front of Yi Hua.
Xiao mocked Yi Hua again without knowing the condition of Yi Hua's heart, "I feel very sorry for the bodyguard. How could you say such a cruel thing to her? Though you're interested too, right when you look at his chest?"
Yi Hua lazily responded to Xiao's words that deviated from Yi Hua's life principles. Yes to earn a lot of money, and not to be interested in people. He had to live on his own in this life, until he could gather all his memories.
"But you watched the man's chest with saliva in your mouth, HuaHua!" taunting Xiao again.
However ...
Not on the chest of the field An.
Yeah ... Clearly Yi Hua felt amazed by An's sturdy body so he felt like throwing a tantrum at the Gods for being unfair to him. However, what made Yi Hua fixated was something else. That is, the wound that stretched long across An's chest.
From this wound Yi Hua could tell if this man had ever suffered a very long wound on his chest. Right at his heart. That line runs right through his heart.
Some have said, the scars you get now may be the wounds you've had in a previous life. So that if you get a big injury in this life, and when you reincarnate, that wound will also get you. Even in a different situation. I don't know why Yi Hua thought of all this.
He even had a wound on his neck that would appear if he was on the verge of death. No one knows how that happened. Consider it destiny.
However ...
How could this man still be alive with the wounds that must have been right about his heart?
The sound of sand and the rumbling of the wind was still heard. Yi Hua was sure that if she was not protected by An, then she would be carried away by the wind. He only hoped that the merchants would be taken by General Wei Qionglin to a safe place. As Yi Hua recalled, there were many sturdy buildings that could still be used to hide around the Dust Valley. Because, the traders obviously can not survive in this storm area.
Other than the noise of the storm, Yi Hua did not hear any sound. So he was sure that there was no one around them. There was only Yi Hua and An here. Even Yi Hua could feel An's chin pressing onto Yi Hua's head. This man was very sure if Yi Hua would not feel the invasion of sand.
Why has this man done so far?
SRAPP!!! SRAPS!
Yi Hua was horrified by the sound of the sand that hit the surrounding objects. But with An's protection, Yi Hua was not hit by the sandstorm. He was quite grateful about it. Even so, ... What about this guy?
"Mr An ... Why don't you take refuge also under this huge robe?" Yi Hua could only shout for her voice to be heard by An.
There was no answer from An. The man instead pressed on the tightness of the robe that covered Yi Hua's small body, only for the robe to reflect back the sand. Just so that no sense of thumping will hit Yi Hua.
It brought An's body closer to encompass Yi Hua. And, Yi Hua's face that was close to An's chest. Even that stretched scar could be seen by Yi Hua very closely. Yi Hua frowned.
Then, ...
Yi Hua moved his face forward and the matter sucked Xiao into a panic of his own. "Hey, hey! Is it polite if the woman is doing the 'movement' first? HuaHua, I didn't raise you like that."
It's noisy!
But, ... Within such a short distance Yi Hua rounded her eyes with a look of disbelief. This man ...
SRAPS!
"alright. Don't you want to wake up now?" The voice sounded irritated around Yi Hua.
An helped Yi Hua stand without a care on Wei Qionglin's sour face. In the man's hand was a torch _ that Wei Qionglin somehow could make. Perhaps this man entered the empty residences around this dead city. From there Yi Hua was sure all the residents were fine.
"Close your eyes, Yi Hua," An said in a calm tone.
Yi Hua did not want to comply, but he was more to be confused. He could do nothing but close his eyes. Before long An patted Yi Hua's head which turned out to be filled with sand. It must be now that Yi Hua's hair was like the scales of a poorly combed cow.
Wei Qionglin sighed. "I'm still here."
But An was very calm and quiet, obviously this man would not respond to anything. It was a sad situation for Wei Qionglin. For, it is better if Yi Hua or An refute it, than it is as ignored as this.
He was like a cow who had a wrong friendship with a remote island monitor lizard.
While Yi Hua did not respond as well because he did not dare to speak. He was afraid that the sand cleaned by An in his head would enter his mouth.
I've been eating sand since!
Alright.
Yi Hua brushed off the hand of An who was still cleaning her hair. Maybe now Yi Hua already understood the situation. He just needs to talk about this in the High Court later.
This is about the kingdom!
"General Wei, did you know of this before?" yi Hua asked as he looked at Wei Qionglin who folded his arms around his chest.
Hearing the serious Yi Hua, Wei Qionglin also acted seriously. The man looked at Yi Hua, and soon Wei Qionglin shook his head. "I don't even know why the kingdom sent troops to protect this city. Though ..."
Clearly Wei Qionglin could not continue with his words. Plus they're outside the High Court. If in the 'hot' room, they can reveal many things without fear of being known by the public. Because, half-and-half information like this is definitely not a good thing for people to hear.
Who can guarantee if there is a subsequent coup?
Yi Hua sighed. "Does that mean His Majesty knows the truth?"
"He doesn't know."
The answer was quite surprising. Especially when he heard that An did not mention King Li Shen with 'His Majesty'. Another surprising thing was that King Li Shen, the highest milestone of the Li Kingdom, had no idea about this great tragedy. How could?
General Wei was also quite surprised by An's disrespectful actions. Even so, he focused more on An's conversation. "What do you mean by not knowing, Mr Guards? Would you share? Aren't you Your Majesty's personal bodyguard?"
Obviously, An knows a lot about the kingdom. However, An does not seem so afraid to say about the ugliness of the kingdom. I don't know where An saved his life.
"As in the writing of the underground wall, this is what happened due to the policy of the previous King. Not this King" said An who spoke without saying the King's honor.
This man really has guts, like his power also imitates cows.
Wei Qionglin nodded his head confirming. "That might be true. Because, the massacre of the Blind Priest, Shen Qibo was my first duty when I entered the kingdom. At that time I was still an ordinary soldier, and the throne had only moved to His Majesty King Li Shen who was only ten years old. Until then the policy is still in hand ..."
DRAPU! DRAPU!
It was still dark because it was still night. Obviously they will spend a 'beautiful' night in this place. However, the sound of pounding the horse's legs is definitely not a good thing in the dark. If in a war situation, then there might be an enemy attack.
That made General Wei immediately extinguish the torch. And, An who spread out his right arm in front of Yi Hua. That was what made Yi Hua feel confused and somewhat dislike this. He was a 'man' in the eyes of others, but An had always treated Yi Hua like a weak person. Yi Hua would not die that easily.
"Yi Hua ... Are you dead?" the cry of the bell made Yi Hua almost want to kick the owner of the voice.
It was obvious Liu Xingsheng had come. Because, the man will come with a very annoying commotion. Yi Hua flew his talisman paper again to burn the torch in Wei Qionglin's hand.
Then, a horde of soldiers in typical Li Kingdom clothes came. It seemed like the departure of Wei Qionglin and Yi Hua had been known, until the kingdom sent the Prime Minister down to the field. Obviously it was not only Liu Xingsheng, but his 'nanny' had also come. Huan Ran's.
Also ...
Yi Hua frowned when he saw this unusual-looking figure appear. The man looked dignified at his current age. Not to mention his handsome face, so you can imagine how handsome this man was when he was a teenager.
He was Wang Zeming, the Royal Counselor.
Someone who also came from the policies of the Previous King. Wang Zeming was an elder who also dabbled in the glory days of the previous King. Therefore, Yi Hua was very sure this man knew a lot of things. Including the actual facts behind the one-night massacre by Shen Qibo, the Blind Priestess.
"If you've seen me so sharply like that, maybe you're very good at guessing, the Diviner Yi Hua," said Wang Zeming, who was still on his horse.
