When everyone was full of energy, Gulan was there. Xiang Yunjin, who had gotten rid of his identity as a teacher, sat leisurely outside the tent and listened to the reading sounds of AnAn and other children inside the tent. Looking at the busy crowd not far away and the green mountains and trees, he felt a rare sense of relaxation.
Although life has been simple these days, it has been a rare peaceful time. There is no open or secret fighting here, and there is no need to be on guard against others all the time. All you see is a face that is a little bit scheming but still very simple.
Children will show you their purest smiles because of a wild fruit or a chestnut. Of course, except for naughty kids. Dahei lay obediently beside Xiang Yunjin, enjoying his occasional caress, his eyes slightly narrowed in comfort.
Suddenly, Xiang Yunjin's hand that was stroking Dahei paused, and his right ear turned to one direction.
"Chirp, chirp..." A look of joy flashed in his eyes. He finally caught up with him, but much later than he expected.
He gently stroked Dahei's head, stood up from his position, looked in the direction where the bird's cry came from, and entered the tent.
Hearing the noise, Gulan turned his attention away from the children and looked at Xiang Yunjin who was standing at the entrance of the tent.
"What's the matter?" If nothing was wrong, why would he be standing at the door looking at her?
"I want to tell you to take a walk around here." Xiang Yunjin opened his thin lips slightly, and a unique voice that was cold yet magnetic sounded.
People who are voice-controlled would definitely not be able to stand it if they heard it. Every time, Gulan resisted the urge to scratch her ears, it was too beautiful to hear. People with good looks seem to be naturally favored, and their voices are generally much more pleasant than those of ordinary people. Sometimes God is really partial to me!
"Okay, be careful," Gulan said without thinking too much, and then turned her attention back to the child.
"Sanhe, you are wrong. It means not to talk about others' shortcomings and not to rely on one's own strengths. It's not "you", do you understand? "Mi" means..."
At Sanhe's nervous nod, Xiang Yunjin left the tent.
Gulan looked like a serious teacher when he taught. He smiled and walked out leisurely.
Dahei opened his eyes and looked at the figure gradually moving away, then shook his head and continued to sleep.
It had been a very tiring night.
"Come out, everyone."
A quarter of an hour later, Xiang Yunjin, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, glanced at the surrounding trees and said lightly.
A familiar voice sounded, and the eyes of Wang Yun and others hiding in the trees lit up. It was the prince. Finally found it, and the stone in my heart was finally put down. They followed the secret code left by the prince all the way and thought they were about to find him, but something unexpected happened. In order to avoid Yishan Town, we took a long detour, and then spent a lot of time just looking for the secret code again. It took many days to find the secret code.
In fact, they had already arrived early in the morning. However, they did not find any trace of the prince in the crowd, but the secret signal left by the prince told them that he had not left. There were people with similar figures, but they did not look alike. In the end, they had no choice but to use signals, hoping that the prince could hear it.
To be honest, even though the person was already standing under the tree, his appearance made it hard for them to believe that he was the prince. There was such a huge difference between them. But the aura that he exuded in an instant, no longer concealed, told them that this man might really be the prince. Not until the prince spoke did they dare to truly confirm it. They jumped down one after another, and more than ten people knelt on the ground.
"I deserve to die. I failed to protect my master and I didn't find the prince in the first time. Please punish me." Wang Yun supported himself on the ground with his hands, feeling very ashamed, and hung his head heavily.
"Please punish me, Your Highness." As Wang Yun spoke, the others also lowered their heads.
Fortunately, the prince was fine, otherwise they would have died and never redeemed themselves. The worry that had been hanging in their hearts for a long time was finally put to rest.
"What punishment? You did a great job. If you hadn't risked your lives to protect me, I wouldn't be able to stand here peacefully. Everyone, get up."
At the foot of the mountain, a tall and slender figure, with clothes swaying in the wind, glanced at the crowd and said lightly. It's really not their fault this time, and they did try their best to protect him.
"Thank you, Prince." Wang Yun looked at the prince excitedly and bowed. He stood up with everyone and looked at the prince worriedly. Although the prince was tall and graceful, and did not look like anything was wrong, how could he forget that he was seriously injured when he tried to escape, and one of the knife wounds nearly killed him.
"Prince, are you injured..." Wang Yun was very worried.
"It's okay. I forgot that I have always had good luck. I met a master. I am almost recovered now. But you look badly injured."
The moment Wang Yun jumped down from the tree, Xiang Yunjin noticed something was wrong with Wang Yun.
As a close bodyguard, Wang Yun was an expert in weapon and martial arts. His body trembled the moment he landed on the ground, and he was a moment slower than the others, which showed that he was injured and had not recovered yet.
"My men are fine. They will be fine in a few days. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Wang Yun was a little flattered and very touched. It's good to know the situation. He nodded to Yun Jin and said nothing more.
"But, how did you become like this, Prince?" Wang Yun found it hard to imagine that the handsome and elegant prince would have such a face. He did not dare to look at him for fear of displeasing the prince. If it weren't for the secret code left by the prince, they would not have dared to recognize each other if they passed by.
"Is it ugly?" Xiang Yunjin glanced at Wang Yun indifferently. As the voice fell, the air around them seemed to become a little colder.
Wang Yun was startled, how could he dare to say "ugly"? He smiled flatteringly and said, "No, our prince is like a banished immortal, he is so extraordinary that ordinary people like us can't even dream of him. He is not ugly at all, he is very handsome."
It was obvious that he was lying with his eyes open, but coupled with Wang Yun's serious expression and firm tone, even the credibility of his words seemed to increase a bit.
Xiang Yunjin's mouth twitched. It would be strange if he believed it.
Wang Yun couldn't help but complain in his heart. In fact, the prince was wrong. It was not ugly, but very ugly. I don't know who the prince offended, and he was dressed like this. Not to mention, even at such a close distance, I couldn't see any flaws, and I didn't know which expert disguised the prince.
"Okay, stop flattering me. Do you think I am a person who cannot listen to the truth? Tell me what happened that made you so slow." Xiang Yunjin's expression became serious.
Wang Yun: "…" I really want to say that, Sir, at certain times, you are. But even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare.
Wang Yun smiled awkwardly, then his expression straightened up and he briefly recounted how he reunited with his brothers after dealing with the Yixiantang killer, and then buried the bodies of his dead brothers.
He did not mention at all that he was seriously injured after a life-and-death battle with the killer and almost couldn't wake up, and because of this he missed the best opportunity to find the prince. Then they emphasized the epidemic in Yishan Town. It was because of this that they took a long and troublesome detour and spent several times longer than usual to get here.
In fact, when Xiang Yunjin saw Wang Yun and his group, he had already guessed it. After all, the clues he left behind must pass through Yishan Town, and Yishan Town must have been sealed after they left. Hearing the news of his dead subordinates, Yun Jin's expression darkened and he became more serious.
He said, "The families of the dead brothers must be properly compensated. The living must not be disappointed."
"Yes, I will definitely take care of it. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Xiang Yunjin nodded and said, "I know about the epidemic in Yishan Town. What was the situation in Yishan Town when you left?"
"My Lord, although we have not been here for long, we can see that the inspectors and the head of the village in Yishan Town have taken it very seriously and are actively investigating. Not only that, but the neighboring towns are also investigating as well. They have discovered the problem in a timely manner and have properly controlled it. Now I think the problem should not be serious."
