General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

The carriage sped away into the night.

However, everything was as the coachman had said. The disciple patrolling the dungeon quickly realized that the prisoner was missing and immediately reported it to the guard captain.

The guard captain immediately chased out with his men and surrounded the carriage halfway.

The coachman held the reins in his hand tightly. “Your Highness, I’ll rush out and knock them away with the carriage. You… remember what I said just now.”

The carriage charged towards the guards of the City Lord Manor.

Several guards were knocked down, and the coachman took the opportunity to stop abruptly. The powerful inertia threw the carriage violently.

Yuwen Xi’s internal strength had already recovered by half. She immediately used this force to jump out of the carriage with Yuwen Huai.

The two of them rolled down the hill and into a muddy gully.

Not far away, there was the sound of fighting. The coachman was doing his best to stall them.

Yuwen Xi carried Yuwen Huai on her back and dragged her injured leg into the night.

Yuwen Huai was woken up by the fall. He lay on her back and said weakly, “You’re making me feel uncomfortable… Put me down.”

Yuwen Xi ignored him.

Yuwen Huai continued, “If you want to escape, escape yourself… I can’t be bothered to follow you…”

Yuwen Xi said calmly, “Since you can’t be bothered to follow me, why didn’t you do it earlier?”

If he had minded his own business, he wouldn’t have been caught together.

Yuwen Huai said weakly, “I suspected that you were colluding with Xiahou Zheng… I wanted to catch you red-handed…”

Yuwen Xi ignored him again.

Yuwen Huai said, “After fighting for so many years… Don’t you understand me? You were imprisoned… I was the one who asked Zhuge Qing to do it… If I were you… I would borrow Xiahou Zheng’s hand to get rid of the strongest opponent…”

Yuwen Xi said coldly, “If you die, everyone will think that I killed you. I don’t want to take the blame!”

Yuwen Huai suddenly opened his mouth and bit her shoulder.

Yuwen Xi exploded. “Yuwen Huai, you’re a dog!”

Yuwen Huai said vengefully, “When I carried you when I was young… This is how you bit me… I’ll return it to you now…”

Yuwen Xi was about to scold him again when she suddenly felt his body burning.

He was confused by the fever.

No wonder.

Yuwen Xi stopped arguing with him and focused on escaping east with him on her back.

Finally, the two of them entered the Hundred Flowers Palace’s territory.

A team of patrolling disciples stopped them.

The young disciple in the lead asked, “Who are you?”

Although this was the Hundred Flowers Palace’s territory, islanders and hunters would occasionally pass by. As long as they did not walk up the mountain of the Hundred Flowers Palace, the disciples would not start a massacre.

Yuwen Xi looked at their uniform clothes and righteous aura, so she probed, “Are you from the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

The young disciple said, “Yes.”

Yuwen Xi said, “I’m Yuwen Xi. Your Young Palace Lord asked me to come.”

–

“What? Her Highness is here?”

Mo Xie was on Ling Yun’s side. Neither of them slept.

The two of them exchanged glances.

Ling Yun said to the disciple who came to report, “Got it. Lead the way.”

The patrolling disciple brought the two of them to the place where they had discovered Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai.

The siblings sat on a rock. Yuwen Huai was burning up and rested his head on Yuwen Xi’s lap.

Yuwen Xi was in a sorry state, but her noble aura did not decrease.

She calmly placed her hand on Yuwen Huai’s forehead and stared into the distance.

This was the first time Mo Xie had seen the siblings so harmonious.

At this moment, without the shackles of their status and the competition for the throne, they were like siblings from ordinary families, trusting each other.

“Your Highness!”

Mo Xie came to Yuwen Xi excitedly and knelt on one knee.

Yuwen Xi felt tired and calm after surviving a calamity. “Mo Xie.”

A few patrolling disciples cupped their hands and bowed. “Young Palace Lord.”

Ling Yun nodded.

Yuwen Xi looked over and said in surprise, “Master Ling? You’re the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flower Palace? What’s going on? You were asked by someone… Did Mo Xie beg you to save us tonight?”

Mo Xie and Ling Yun had interacted in the Western Jin. Yuwen Xi thought that they just got along with each other. One loved to play the zither, and the other loved to play the erhu. She never suspected that the two of them had a deeper relationship.

“I’m the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Moxie was once a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace. He did ask me to save you, but I didn’t succeed during the day.”

Yuwen Xi frowned.

Mo Xie was shocked. “Your Highness, didn’t you escape tonight?”

Yuwen Xi shook her head and said, “No, someone helped us escape. They said that the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace arranged it.”

Ling Yun said calmly, “I didn’t order anything.”

Mo Xie’s ears twitched. “Horse hooves!”

Soon, a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace who was patrolling the mountain quickly ran over from the foot of the mountain. “Young Palace Lord, someone from the City Lord Manor is here!”

Yuwen Xi made a prompt decision and helped Yuwen Huai up. “Is there another way down the mountain here?”

Mo Xie said to Ling Yun, “I’ll escort them away!”

He was no longer a member of the Hundred Flowers Palace. They had clearly been schemed against.

If Ling Yun hid them again, he might get into trouble.

“Although you left the island, you’ve been sending news of me to my mother for the past few years. You haven’t completely left the Hundred Flowers Palace. Bring the two princes to my mother first. I’ll stall them.”

Mo Xie looked at Ling Yun gratefully. He carried Yuwen Huai on his back and brought Yuwen Xi up the mountain.

“Mo Xie, you…”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I hid my background. When I left the Hundred Flowers Palace, I swore not to mention the Hundred Flowers Palace to anyone and never to betray it.”

Yuwen Xi had an epiphany. “I was wondering why your martial arts are so powerful when you’re not from a famous sect in the martial world. You can even defeat the death warriors in the residence.”

Mo Xie said in shame, “My skills aren’t high in the Hundred Flowers Palace. The Palace Lord and the elders are the true peerless experts…”

The guards of the City Lord Manor arrived very quickly. They arrived almost as soon as the three of them left.

The person in the lead was Xiahou Zheng.

He rode a tall horse and was wearing a black cloak. He was handsome and tall, like a king.

There were more than a hundred City Lord Manor guards behind him. It could be seen that they had come prepared.

“It’s only been two months. Is someone trying to attack the Hundred Flowers Palace in the middle of the night again?”

Xiahou Zheng smiled faintly and took out a token from his pocket. “The City Lord’s token is here. Seeing it is equivalent to seeing the City Lord.”

Ling Yun didn’t move.

Xiahou Zheng smiled and said, “Brother, this is not polite, right?”

Ling Yun said casually, “Are you blind or is your heart blind? Don’t you know that I usually look like this when I see the City Lord?”

Xiahou Zheng’s smile froze and he tightened his grip on the reins.

Ling Yun continued to stab him. “Also, don’t call me brother. You’re not worthy.”
