CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

413 The Challenge

“Hehehe Your Majesty, please forgive Xi Er, come on Xi Er,”

Luo Xiang stare at the young man, the news about King Bu Ye who was a masher to the collection of many beautiful women and young men as concubines was true, that trait was passed down to his son too, Luo Xiang’s nose was already inflated like a bull ready to attack, how dare he touch his Ying Ying’s hand? If he really gets tired of living?

Li Yu immediately pulled Bu Xi’s hand out of the room.

The Crown Prince folded his wide sleeves and put his hands behind his waist, he took his hands out and led Bai Ying towards their seats.

“Come Ying”

“Why did Huo Li attack Gao country?” Chen Ming asked frowning as he sat on his chair. Su Lang served him by filling his teacup to the brim.

“Your Highness.”

Chen Ming nodded.

“Thanks, Guard Su”

.....

Li Mo stroked his chin.

“Heh, the Li family, are closely related to the Gao palace, my grandmother, is the third daughter of the great king Bu Yu who wandered to Xi Yang and fell in love with Li Yao, my grandfather, but since then our relationship is nothing more than brothers, no political and other things involved”

“So you mean Huo Li is going there to take over the palace that no longer recognizes him?” Chen Ming added.

Li Mo nodded.

“Yeah, maybe that’s been his ambition from a long time ago, I’ve heard stories from Father, who visited Gao Palace and everyone saw him as an ordinary person, no one recognized him anymore, and that might hurt his feeling so deeply”

Bai Ying touched his chest, there was something very strange he had felt since earlier.

“Ying Ying, what’s wrong?” Luo Xiang asked worriedly.

Bai Ying shook his head.

“I don’t know Your Majesty, it feels very strange, because I am connected with Xiao Hong’s bloodstone, I can feel what he is feeling right now, he is crying.”



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Luo Xiang squeezed Bai Ying’s hand.

“We will save the bird, no matter what, this time I won’t let that Huo Li slipped out of my hand, he’s gone too far.”

Just as everyone was seriously thinking, there was the sound of fast running footsteps from outside.
“My Lord! My Lord, something happened!” the person had not even arrived yet but his voice go the room faster than his physical. A young servant rushed in and immediately kneeled in front of Li Mo, holding a black arrow wrapped in a letter in his hand. The young maid handed it over with both hands.

“Someone shot this in front of the big gate”

Li Mo widened his eyes, immediately grabbed the arrow and pulled out the scroll.

His eyes move right and left as if he is reading the letter.

“This is from Huo Li.”

Luo Xiang and others listened carefully.

“This is a challenge letter”

Luo Xiang raised his hand asking Bei Yau to take the letter from Li Mo’s hand.

Shortly after reading it, Luo Xiang’s eyes flashed sharply.

“That devil, how dare he challenge the Crown Prince, who does he think he is?”

Bai Ying took the small brown paper in Luo Xiang’s hand, reading it slowly.

“I invite you to come to Gao Palace, hand over Viceroy of Xin Hua, or one by one the Gao and Xiao Hong courtiers will die in a horrific way” Bai Ying’s eyes widened.

“Your Majesty, come on Your Majesty, we have to do something, or that person will really finish off the palace family and Xiao Hong!” Bai Ying shouted frantically.

Luo Xiang looked at the anxious Bai Ying for a while.

“We are indeed going to do something Ying, and we can’t let that person do whatever he wished for”

.....

The atmosphere in Gao’s palace was more like a dead palace filled with blood and objects scattered on the ground. The flags fallen along with the pole were lying coldly like pieces of trash just like the others.

The palace guards were been replaced by the hideous-faced black-clothed men from the Black Crow Clan that Huo Li headed, many members who were still very loyal to him followed him wherever he go, and all of them look very proud of the power from the extremely outstanding Huo Li, the man even knocked out all the palace guards with his own hands without so many efforts.

Luo Xiang and Bai Ying’s horses, as well as Chen Ming, Bei Yau, Ge Lu and Su Lang, had stopped in front of the palace gate which was no longer guarded by the palace soldiers. Several black-clothed people greeted them, of course, they did not dare to approach considering Luo Xiang’s ability to knock down the guards at the very front without touching them at all.

The people from the Black Crow simply drew their swords on standby while retreating towards the main hall of the palace which was located far away at the end of the courtyard.

The Gao’s Palace was not as big as the Xin Hua palace let alone Yue Yang. The two-story-high main gate, at the front which was previously guarded by uniformed and fully armed soldiers, had now been replaced by black-clothed people who were knocked down by Luo Xiang very easily by the wind blowing from his hands.

Entered the main gate where they were now, and after the large courtyard, was the very grand main hall of the Gao Palace with predominantly gold and white buildings, which had been partially burned by Huo Li’s fire which they black smokes still looks hovering.

“These useless people, they are just ordinary people who are not even comparable to the Xin Hua warriors,” Chen Ming said.

They walked towards the front of the great hall where the person they were looking for was already standing in front of them.

The man smiled broadly as he saw Bai Ying and the others approach.

“Well well well, oh my, really feels so good to see that very attractive face again, my sweet child, you don’t know how hard it was for me to get your face off my head, how is it, every time I see those beautiful and sexy concubines, your very sweet face keep popping on my head, even though you don’t have that chubby plumpy breast like they are, however, I haven’t felt enough to with enjoying your smooth body.”

Luo Xiang clenched his fists. The man spoke loudly and impolitely, which made the clan members standing behind him laugh so loud.

“Hahaha”

“Insolent!” Furious, Luo Xiang clenched his fists and threw all his strength away, pushing all the men standing behind Huo Li to fall backwards.

“Whoosh!”

“Akh!”

“That evil, I’ll snatch out his tongue off!”

Chen Ming was also furious, he had already drawn his sword and was ready to attack if it wasn’t for Bei Yau’s hand to hold him back.

“Your Majesty, calm down”

Bai Ying still couldn’t forget that man’s perverted face as he licked his naked face and body, treated him very lowly and touched him with his dirty hands, but, he couldn’t let his feelings affect his strength, not at this time, when everyone depends on him.

“Where is Xiao Hong? Why did you still hold him captive after what you did to him?.”

Huo Li smiled, the man tilted his head in thought.

“Hemh, that ugly and skinny bird huh? Hemh, obviously I’m not going to kill him, and you guys also can’t possibly kill him to finish me off right? Even if you really want it.”

Bai Ying clenched his fists. His inner eye could see that Xiao Hong was in a dark and damp place, with his wings spread wide and pierced by sharp chains and dangling him above the very black water, it was likely that he was in some kind of cave or dungeon, which was obvious the pain can be felt by Bai Ying.

“Tell me where he is? What did you do to him?” Bai Ying’s voice was so loud as the strong wind that pass Huo Li, his eyes shone red and almost spit out his white flames had it not been for Luo Xiang’s hand to restrain him.

“Ying, calm yourself down.”

Huo Li laughed loudly.

“Hahahaha, my beloved Viceroy, why are you in such a hurry, you guys just arrived here, please forgive my ruthless, I only had this palace a while ago so all the food hasn’t been prepared yet, but, we can talk first, right? Enjoy the tea”

Bai Ying lowered the internal energy that had risen to his head, his eye colour back to its original colour.

“You want a duel, right? Let’s settle this matter quickly, we don’t have all day,” said Bai Ying.

Huo Li smiled again. He looked at Bai Ying for a while, and then Luo Xiang.

“Hehe, my King of Nature, you know, that I’m not even a match for you, in one swoop go you can kill me so easily, that sounds very unfair isn’t it?”
