Chapter 222: A pair of eyes is just like a decoration
At this moment, a majestic and cold voice came from a distance: "Humph! Is that so? Just you little Kou people dare to run into our Yunxi territory and act wildly.
Not only are you acting recklessly, you're even so audacious as to harm our country's Prince Yunxin and his son. In my opinion, the ones who are truly tired of living are precisely you, a bunch of ignorant people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu jumped down from the rooftop like lightning and landed steadily in front of Yun Muheng.
His face was filled with anger, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at Higashijiro intently, as if he was about to spit fire.
Just at this moment, a deafening sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw dust and smoke billowing in the distance, and a group of cavalry galloping towards them like lightning.
The leader was wearing a general's armor, looking majestic and imposing. This man was none other than General Wanshan, who was a powerful general guarding the frontiers of the Yunxi Kingdom.
Behind him followed thousands of fully armed and heroic soldiers, all of them in high spirits and full of murderous intent.
In the blink of an eye, General Wanshan rode his horse anxiously to Yun Muheng.
When he saw Yun Muheng's bloodless, pale face, and the ground beneath him that was shockingly stained with blood, his eyes suddenly widened, and a surge of anger instantly surged in his heart, like a volcanic eruption that could not be contained.
He turned and glared at Dongrijiro and Magistrate Liu in a rage, roaring like thunder: "You are so audacious! How dare you attack Prince Yunxin! Come on, quickly tie up these lunatics for me!"
Facing General Wanshan's angry rebuke, Dongri Jiro showed no sign of weakness. He held his head high, glared at the general, and shouted arrogantly, "Hmph! Don't be so arrogant. I am from Kou Country, not from your tiny country. What qualifications do you have to kidnap me?"
Wanshan had a gloomy face and walked towards the man with heavy steps.
Every step he took seemed to be filled with endless anger and murderous intent, and the air around him seemed to solidify because of his arrival.
When he stood in front of the man, he stared at him with an extremely cold and emotionless gaze, as if he was looking at someone who had been dead for a long time.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sneer full of sarcasm, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Humph! Kou people? I'm going to kill Kou people."
Before he finished speaking, he raised the gleaming sword in his hand without hesitation and stabbed it straight into Higashijiro's stomach with lightning speed.
County Magistrate Liu standing by had a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face, his eyes wide open and his mouth so wide that an egg could almost fit in.
He pointed at Wanshan in a panic and stammered, "General Wan... Wanshan, I'm afraid you've made a mistake!
"How could he be the King Yunxin? King Yunxin is such a noble person, how could he condescend to visit our remote and insignificant Muyang County?"
However, Wanshan was not moved at all by County Magistrate Liu's eager words of defense.
On the contrary, he turned his head suddenly and glared at County Magistrate Liu fiercely, with the anger in his eyes as if he wanted to burn him to ashes.
Then, he strode to the side of County Magistrate Liu, raised his right foot and kicked County Magistrate Liu's body mercilessly.
There was a dull thud, and County Magistrate Liu was kicked to the ground, looking miserable.
Wanshan looked down at the fallen County Magistrate Liu from a high position, his face full of contempt and disdain.
He spat on the ground and shouted, "Bah! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you doubt my judgment?
This general is not a blind loser like you. My eyes are brighter than anyone else's and I will never make a mistake in recognizing someone!
But you, with your eyes, are like mere decorations, unable to even distinguish your own master. You are truly a heinous criminal!"
County Magistrate Liu was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by the powerful Wanshan's kick.
This sudden attack seemed to have released some kind of restraint, allowing County Magistrate Liu, who was originally unable to move, to instantly regain his ability to move.
However, at this time, County Magistrate Liu had no time to get up. He was so terrified that he rolled and crawled to his knees on the ground, his whole body shaking with extreme fear.
He even stammered and begged for mercy, "General Wan... General Wan, please spare my life! I really didn't know... I didn't know that the gentleman was Prince Yunxin!"
If I had known about this beforehand, even if I had a hundred guts, I would never have dared to offend you in the slightest!"
Ye Xiaotuan, who was standing aside, was furious. His clear eyes seemed to be burning with rage as he stared intently at the cowardly County Magistrate Liu.
He sternly rebuked, "Hmph! Stop quibbling here! In my opinion, it's not that you don't dare, but you are as clear-headed as a mirror and are pretending to be ignorant.
You simply want to take this opportunity to put us to death, so that your heinous crimes, which are too numerous to list, can be covered up, and your shameless acts of selling out your country for personal gain can remain unknown and go unpunished!"
Facing Ye Xiaotuan's righteous accusations, County Magistrate Liu was already terrified and pale. He could only kowtow and apologize repeatedly, muttering to himself, "Young Master, you are very perceptive. I was really blinded by greed and made such a big mistake. I hope that Young Master will show mercy and spare my life!"
But no matter how hard he begged, Ye Xiaotuan remained unmoved and even refused to look at him again.
Ye Xiaotuan quickly turned around and looked at Chen Yu beside him with a worried look on his face. He asked anxiously, "Uncle Chen, my father is seriously injured and in critical condition. He needs immediate medical treatment. But where is my mother now?"
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a burst of angry rebuke came from a distance.
The voice was clear and sharp, filled with anger. It was Ye Chuxue's roar: "Well, you little bastard, you actually dared to sneak into this city behind my back? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?"
At this moment, when Ye Xiaotuan heard this familiar and angry voice, the calmness that he had been trying to maintain in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace like a balloon being punctured.
He didn't care that Ye Chuxue was angry at the moment. Without thinking, he ran straight towards Ye Chuxue and then dived into her warm arms.
Then, Ye Xiaotuan seemed to have found support. He could no longer suppress the fear and sadness in his heart and burst into tears.
His small body trembled constantly because of extreme fear, and tears burst out like a flood, soaking the front of Ye Chuxue's clothes.
"Mom, please hurry up and save Daddy! He's almost dying, and he's bleeding so much!
Wuuuuu... All this is little Dumpling's fault. If daddy can be brought back to life safely, I will never run around hiding things from you again. I will definitely listen to you guys!
Please, mother, please save father!"
Ye Xiaotuan sobbed and cried intermittently.
