Chapter 400: shooting arrows
For a few minutes neither of the two men said anything but then Yu Lingyun turned to look at Zhai Heng and after a very long pause said in a grim voice, " I will not say anything if you don't say anything, deal ?"
" Deal," agreed Zhai Heng, right now he was a bit too unprofessional. There was no way he could let Zhai Tianyu find out about this small teeny tiny bit of crush that he had on the queen which was why he needed to make sure that Yu Lingyun would not say anything in front of Zhai Tianyu until he was done crushing this stupid feeling in his heart.
The two men did not mention what happened just now, instead they rushed towards the forest where they initially thought that the scream came from, fortunately for them the direction in which the scream came from was closer to their tent while being far from the rest thus when they arrived at the outskirts of the forest, the guards who were patrolling at the night had just arrived seeing that the guards were rushing towards the forest, Yu Lingyun immediately stopped them.
They had no idea what happened to Zhai Tianyu but given that he went in the forest without taking anyone, it was clear he wanted to be alone because of a particular reason. Yu Lingyun could not allow anyone to see the current state of the King lest they found out something they should not which was why he smiled and stopped the guards who were dashing past the wild grass.
" Hey there, where are you three going?" Yu Lingyun breezed past the wild grass with his spiritual energy and stopped the three guards before they could rush any further and see Zhai Tianyu.
With his arm outstretched he stood in front of the three men and then said with a slight raise of his brow, " His majesty is having some personal time with his concubine in the forest, you wouldn't want to barge on him right?"
When the guards heard that the Emperor screamed because he was having personal time with his concubine, they were speechless but then they thought about what they have seen just a few minutes ago and decided to take a collective step back.
Just now when they were patrolling around the forest ground they saw Ji Yu leaving her tent and rushing into the forest, most probably she went to meet his majesty.
If that was the case then —— the three guards gulped softly. If they had trespassed on the Personal time of the King and his imperial concubine, they were sure that they would have lost their heads tonight, fortunately, General Yu was here to stop them or else.
As the three guards thought about the same thing, they all turned to look at Yu Lingyun and shot him expressions that were filled with gratitude, while the guard who was standing in the middle lowered his head and bowed in front of Yu Lingyun before he expressed his gratitude to Yu Lingyun, " Thank you for helping us, General Yu."
" Thank you for helping us."
" Thank you for helping us."
The other two guards also lowered their waist and thanked Yu Lingyun who smiled and waved their gratitude away before saying with a generous look on his face, " There is no need for such a grand thank you, this is what I am supposed to do. I am watching this side, you three can leave and——"
" AHAHAHA!" Another scream rang out in the clearing causing the four men including Zhai Heng who was hiding to turn to look in the direction from where the scream came, an awkward silence stretched around the four men before Yu Lingyun turned to look at the guards and added with a slight smile, " And asked the others to not come here as well? Please and thank you."
" Oh, there is no need for please, General Yu," the guard in the middle said, there was no way they were going to breathe a word about this to others much less allow anyone to get close to this place.
If the guards patrolling around the forest ground were caught by the Emperor or General Yu, then surely they will be dragged as well into a mess which was they could not allow anyone to come close to this place!
The three guards noted the words of Yu Lingyun in their hearts and then turned to patrol the area making sure that no one would go up the mountain at this time.
Once the three guards left, Yu Lingyun peeked at the backs of the three men, once he was satisfied with the distance between the guards and him, he motioned for Zhai Heng to rush up the mountain while he followed suit leaving the three guards to take care of the patrol.
While the two men rushed up the mountain, Zhai Tianyu who was assaulted by a ghost looked at Li Gang furiously, at this moment he wished he could swing his sword at the latter and behead him but the thing was that the man in front of him was already dead!
" You…how dare you…do you know who I am?" Zhai Tianyu was so angry that he could not help but pull his Emperor card out but Li Gang was not at all scared, he shrugged and then said, " I know you are the king so what? What can you do to me? Drag me to the gallows and execute me?"
Zhai Tianyu: "..."
He wanted to, he very much wanted to execute this bastard who was taking advantage of his helplessness. At the same time, he could not help but question the choice of Liu Hui Ying, after all, why exactly was she keeping such a perverted ghost with her?
Li Gang knew what Zhai Tianyu was thinking but when he thought about how Zhai Tianyu was willing to stand up for Xiao Lin, Li Gang wanted to tease him even more. He turned to look at Jia Li and then said with a teasing smirk, " Hey Li, the heavenly bottom of the king is quite firm."
