Chapter 10
'You Wuming.'
At that moment, Sang Yuanyuan thought she might have gone crazy.
'Why are You Wuming here?!'
She was just about to open her mouth when a cold finger gently pressed against her lips.
"Shh," he said.
He bent down and pressed his lips against her ear. His breath was as cold as a snake's.
"Why are you nervous?" he said. "Doesn't Princess Sang like me?
Are you not happy to see me? "
Sang Yuanyuan tried to appear calm.
"Why are you here?" she asked softly.
You Wuming chuckled and said lightly, "I'm here to save you.
If I didn't come, you would have been finished. "
Sang Yuanyuan stiffly tilted her head to look at him.
"Do you know what Han Shaoling said?"
You Wuming laughed and imitated Han Shaoling's tone. "Kill those people from Sang Zhou who bewitched Madam and lock her in Wu Ji Palace. I will deal with them when I return."
His breath was so cold that it penetrated her bones.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her up. He gently lifted the curtain and motioned for her to look behind.
"Look, when I passed by, I used the wind to sprinkle some fluorite powder on them."
His tone was very gentle, like a lover's whisper.
Sang Yuanyuan looked and felt her scalp go numb.
A few li away, there was indeed a tide of people moving silently. It was an army of several thousand people.
The fluorite powder was faintly glowing. From a distance, they could clearly see the shape of the entire army.
It was like a fierce tiger, ready to eat this small piece of fat meat.
Sang Yuanyuan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She still couldn't believe it. "How could they be so fast!"
There were no soldiers at the front line from Kuiren to Ju Lin Pass. If they set out from Kuiren, they would only be able to catch up at dawn at the earliest.
She had calculated everything.
You Wuming leaned forward and laughed softly. "If you come with me, your people won't have to die."
"Or else?" she asked.
You Wuming laughed happily. "Otherwise, I'll kill you right now so that Han Shaoling won't be able to take advantage of you."
As he said this, he really raised his hand and grabbed her slender neck.
His eyes were extremely dark. Under the moonlight, they looked like two bottomless whirlpools.
Her lips were extremely red, and when she smiled, the beautiful shape of her lips floated on her pale face. She really looked like the legendary devil Asura with painted skin.
It carried an extremely beautiful aura of death.
Sang Yuanyuan felt his scalp go numb.
"Then if I go with you," she said, panting softly, "wouldn't it be too convenient for you?"
You Wuming was startled for a moment before he bent over in laughter.
"Then I'll take advantage of you." He let go of her neck and gently patted her back.
"Okay." Sang Yuanyuan said, "But you have to help them escape."
"It's nothing."
He took out a blood-stained silver token from somewhere and held it with two fingers in disgust. He took the pot of warm tea from the low table and washed it for a while, leaving water stains all over the floor.
Looking at the clean silver token, You Wuming nodded with satisfaction. He pulled up the mask hanging around his neck and covered his Rakshasa face.
He kicked the door open and grabbed Sang Yuanyuan to the shaft of the carriage.
Ling Gu and the others were scared out of their wits. They drew their weapons and pointed them at You Wuming.
"Who's there?!
Let go of the Princess! "
Sang Yuanyuan slowly said, "It's okay, they're on the same side.
The situation has changed, prepare to break through immediately. "
You Wuming said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Once the fireworks are released, run for your lives. Don't look back. If you do, you'll probably die."
Sang Yuanyuan noticed that his voice had become a lot rougher.
At this moment, Ling Gu and the others also noticed the dark tide of the army behind them.
"Princess!
This subordinate will risk my life to protect Princess! "Ling Gu's face was full of resistance." This person … is not from Sang Province!
This subordinate is worried! "
Sang Yuanyuan shook her head gently. "That's it.
Survival is the most important thing. When you see Father, tell him that I'm fine and will be back later. "
Ling Gu wanted to persuade her again, but Sang Yuanyuan raised her hand and said gently and firmly, "Han Shaoling is very scheming. You must persuade Father for me. Don't act impulsively, so as not to leave any evidence behind."
You Wuming smiled with satisfaction, grabbed her ribs, and lightly flew up.
There was an ordinary Cloud Beast crouching in the bushes a thousand feet away.
He held her waist, rode on the cloud beast, and went to meet the army behind them.
Soon, they were close.
The army in front of them was well-trained and moved silently. They stopped at a position where they wouldn't be discovered and wouldn't let any fish escape.
Obviously, they weren't the kind of team that was sent out in a hurry.
So when did Han Shaoling find out that she wanted to escape?
He deliberately put her outside Ju Lin Pass to lure Sang Province's King to break through so that he could take advantage of her!
Sang Yuanyuan's body was cold.
The more frightened she was, the more she tensed her back and made herself sit upright.
You Wuming's chest was behind her. He held the reins with one hand, and the other arm was loosely around her waist. His breath brushed past her hair from time to time, bringing with it a cold temperature.
"Do you know?" He tilted his head and murmured in her ear, "Many people want you."
"But their minds are not pure." He whispered as if he was coaxing her. "They don't only want you, they also want benefits.
I'm different. If I want you, it's you. Whether you're alive or dead, it doesn't matter.
You see, this is what true love means. "
Sang Yuanyuan felt a chill run down her spine.
As he spoke, he had already carried her to the front of the pursuers.
"Who's there?!"
The firelight flashed, illuminating Sang Yuanyuan's face.
You Wuming raised his hand and threw the blood-stained token that he had just washed in her carriage to the enemy general.
The general took the silver token and looked at it, then hurriedly saluted. "General Shiwu!"
Han Shaoling wanted to kill those people from Sang Province, not his own wife. In this operation, the person responsible for rescuing Sang Yuanyuan was the elusive Han Shiwu, who never showed his face.
Everything was going according to plan. The general let out a sigh of relief.
Next, he just needed to harvest the heads.
You Wuming continued to say in a slightly hoarse falsetto, "I've brought my wife out. I'll return with her first."
"Yes!"
You Wuming ordered coldly, "Go, kill all those people from Sang Province."
"Yes!"
The army shouted in unison, leaped onto the cloud beasts, and charged forward.
Ten thousand hooves galloped like thunder, crushing everything around them, leaving only a cloud of dust.
Sang Yuanyuan didn't move at all.
"Huh?"
You Wuming leaned over and lifted her chin with his index finger. He asked in surprise, "Why aren't you crying or making a fuss?
I was just thinking that if you cried, I would go back and sew your mouth shut. "
His eyes looked a little disappointed.
Sang Yuanyuan: "… …" This was a true lunatic.
She said softly, "The King of Youzhou is a man of his word. Since he promised to save people, he will definitely do it."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying a smile. "Oh, then I've always said that I would take down Tiandu and kill Kang Yanji. Do you think … … I will do it?"
The name Kang Yanji had disappeared from Cloud Realm for many years.
Now, when that strange woman was mentioned, people would only call her 'Emperor'.
Sang Yuanyuan looked into his dark and deep eyes and replied very seriously, "I think you're not strong enough right now. You have to wait a little longer."
You Wuming's eyes revealed a rare look of astonishment. After a while, he laughed and muttered, "No wonder you dared to say that you like me. It turns out that you're also quite sick.
Alright, I'll save all of these people.
I originally only wanted to let one or two of them escape … … "
He flipped his wrist, and a handful of small jade beads appeared in his palm, shining with a lustrous green light under the moonlight.
These were talisman jades used for communication.
He slowly closed his fingers, and the jade beads rubbed against each other, producing a crisp sound of jade shattering, like beans exploding.
A rustling of powder with a green light flowed through the gaps between his fingers.
A low rumble resounded through the wilderness.
She didn't need to turn her head to see the flames soaring into the sky.
"This … …"
You Wuming laughed happily and pulled on the reins, bringing her back to look.
She saw that in the dark army, it was like flowers had bloomed. Cloud Beasts exploded into the sky one after another, turning into large balls of orange light.
In the dark and empty wilderness, fireworks were set off one after another.
Ju Lin Pass was alarmed, and countless flames ignited on the city gate tower. In the distance, the sound of the city gate opening could be heard.
You Wuming took out another handful of jade beads and placed them in Sang Yuanyuan's palm.
"Try it," he urged her with a bit of pride.
A large, ice-cold hand wrapped around the back of her hand, holding her fingers and slowly closing them.
Green light seeped through the gaps between his fingers, and the fireworks in front of them became even more brilliant.
"Is it fun?"
He leaned over her ear, his voice light and carried a deep smile, as if he was showing off some toy.
"You made it on the first night you arrived in Handu, right?" Sang Yuanyuan tried to keep her voice calm.
You Wuming paused for a moment. His chest trembled slightly as he grunted in response.
That day, a series of events had left Han Shaoling badly battered. The usually calm and rational ruler had completely indulged himself that night, holed up in Wuji Palace and fought fiercely with Meng Wuyou for the entire night. He had also sent his personal guards to Huiyun Palace to protect Sang Yuanyuan, preventing You Wuming from really coming to snatch her away.
You Wuming, who should have been watching closely, was instead ignored.
She murmured, "Put explosives in the bodies of the Cloud Beasts, and then use the spiritual connection between the communication jade slips to detonate them."
This idea could be said to be very advanced.
He caressed her hair. "You're so smart, my little Sang Guo."
Sang Yuanyuan's pupils contracted.
Ling Gu had only mentioned this childhood nickname once. At that time, only the people sent by Sang Province's King to protect her were present.
Therefore, there were You Wuming's people among those people.
Since there were You Wuming's people, presumably, there would also be Han Shaoling's people … So, this was how she had been exposed.
She really couldn't be blamed for this.
She had no way of investigating the people her father and brother sent from Sang Province, so she could only trust them unconditionally.
It seemed that the waters of Cloud Realm's eighteen provinces were much deeper than she had imagined.
She suddenly understood why Han Shaoling hadn't contacted her after that day.
"Can you tell me who your people are?" She tilted her head to look at You Wuming.
Balls of fire were reflected in his deep, dark eyes. They were like golden double pupils, and there was a different kind of beauty to them.
"Sang Sanjiu." You Wuming didn't hesitate at all.
A simple and honest face floated in front of Sang Yuanyuan's eyes.
"Then who are Han Shaoling's people?" Her heart thumped.
She clenched her fists.
"Sang Siwu, Sang Silu."
Sang Yuanyuan's heart suddenly jumped.
These two people's identities were very unusual.
Ling Gu had specially told her.
Sang Siwu and Sang Silu were actually Sang Yuanyuan's cousins.
Their father was the younger brother of Sang Province's King.
This Uncle Wang had never considered himself a member of the royal family. Since they were young, he had thrown his twins into the military camp and treated them the same way.
These twins were very capable and outstanding. They had made a lot of contributions at a young age. They refused to take on idle jobs and entered the Imperial Guard, becoming the personal guards of Sang Province's King.
Their family had a very good reputation.
How could they be Han Shaoling's people?!
"It's time to collect the reward." You Wuming said with a low laugh.
Five cold fingers, like snakes, crawled up the back of her head and reached into her black cloud-like hair to control his prey.
She was forced to raise her face. You Wuming pulled down his mask and kissed her heavily in the midst of the fireworks.
His lips were cold, and she felt like she was being kissed by a poisonous snake.
The poisonous snake's fangs broke her lips, and the smell of rust filled the air, causing her to ignore the smell of the snake itself.
He held a handful of jade beads in her palm. His fingers intertwined, and the fireworks became even more dazzling.
After a while, he released her and withdrew his red tongue like a snake. He looked at her strangely.
"There's no skill to speak of.
Didn't Han Shaoling teach you? "
Sang Yuanyuan didn't reply.
If she explained at this time, wouldn't it arouse his interest even more?
In fact, his technique was also very bad. He even bit himself, thinking that she didn't know.
