Harem Daily Life

The man in black was very skilled in martial arts and had Yu Cheng as his hostage, but He Linzhang was not afraid at all. He brandished his sword and fought fiercely with the man in black head-on.

Shadow fended off attacks from all directions while trying to break out of the encirclement.

Yu Cheng was frightened and scared on his back, but the little guy was very clever. He took advantage of Anying's distraction and pinched his ear with his little hand. Yu Cheng used all his strength and pinched the most sensitive ear, but it still hurt Anying.

His body swayed slightly and he almost failed to catch the sword thrust by Shuang'er.

Shuang'er seized the opportunity and stabbed his arm with a sword. Shadow groaned, a wound was cut on his arm, and the sword almost slipped out of his hand.

Yu Cheng saw that his ear pulling was effective, so he started a counter-attack. He pulled the left side, then the right side, then the left side, each time with a fatal blow.

Shadow only felt that his ears were red, swollen, painful and numb, and were about to fall out of his head.

He reached out and slapped Yu Cheng hard, nearly knocking him off balance. Enraged, Yu Cheng exploded, using all his strength to bite Shadow's ear with a howl.

Shadow's blood almost froze. If he had known earlier, he would not have kidnapped this person. The baby who could do nothing was cuter - even though he would spit up milk.

Shadow reached out to grab Yu Cheng's hair, but Ying Er was quick-witted and stabbed his thigh with a sword, leaving a long gash.

Shadow blocked it for a moment, and the hand that was about to grab Yu Cheng's hair changed to defense.

Shadow felt that if he continued to carry this child, he would not be able to display his martial arts, so he quickly used his sword to cut the rope, and Yu Cheng fell to the ground with a thud, sprawled out.

Shuang'er took a step forward and struck the shadow with a palm, then dodged and grabbed Yu Cheng, picked him up and dropped him to a safe place.

Tao Yanyan hurried forward to check if Yu Cheng was injured.

Yu Cheng was a little dazed after the fall. Seeing himself being carried into the arms of his mother, he began to cry in fear: "Wow, so being kidnapped is so terrible. Xiao Wu is so pitiful."

Tao Yanyan hurriedly tried to appease her: "Go back to the house quickly, it's dangerous here."

Shuang'er escorted the people back to the house, closed the door tightly, and kept the fight outside out.

"Is the blood on your mouth yours or his?" Tao Yanyan saw Yu Cheng's little face clearly in the candlelight and turned pale with fright.

Yu Cheng wiped his mouth and said, "It's his. His ear was almost bitten off by me." After saying that, Yu Cheng felt nauseous and vomited directly. The smell of blood was too unpleasant for the little Yu Cheng baby to bear.

Tao Yanyan was heartbroken and quickly asked someone to fetch water for him to wash. However, he was worried about He Linzhang, so he opened the door and went out to check.

Although Shadow was a top-tier expert, the men besieging him were no pushovers either, clearly even more formidable than the one he'd encountered the previous night. Feeling drained of energy, he knew he couldn't succeed tonight, so he leaped up, attempting to escape.

He Linzhang looked at the shadow coldly: "Chase him, don't let him go tonight!"

Shuang'er and the others chased in the direction of the shadow.

The frightened Yu Cheng was arranged to sleep in Tao Yanyan's bedroom. He stayed close to He Xiaobao and fell asleep soon, but Tao Yanyan and He Linzhang were no longer sleepy.

"Your Majesty, who do you think will be there tonight?" Tao Yanyan asked.

He Linzhang thought of the man's eyes tonight and said, "Although he was masked, I think he looks a bit like the guard who followed the King of Yan in the Yan State delegation."

Tao Yanyan nodded in agreement: "It is indeed very similar. There is a murderous intent in his eyes."

"But why did the Yan State delegation want to kidnap Xiaowu? After failing once, they now want to kidnap Yucheng?" Tao Yanyan frowned, full of confusion.

He Linzhang also fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "The State of Yan has always been ambitious. Perhaps they want to use the child as a hostage to force me to make concessions. However, these are all speculations. We must catch the thief to know his true identity."

Not long after, Shuang'er and the others hurried back to report: "Your Majesty, Queen, we chased him to the north of the city, and the man in black disappeared, but he was injured by our combined strength and was seriously injured."

The north of the city was not the direction of the post station where the Yan State delegation was staying. The emperor and the empress looked at each other with some suspicion.

"He might be in a panic and have no idea where to go." He Linzhang said calmly, "The Yan State delegation will leave the capital after dawn. I will go and check on them then."

Shadow, however, was besieged by the Great Zhou's secret guards and was indeed seriously injured. By the time he finally returned to the inn, it was almost dawn.

He took both actions on his own initiative without informing anyone from the Yan State delegation. Covered with scars, he could only grit his teeth and simply treat and bandage his wounds.

The delegation was leaving the capital of the Great Zhou today. Everyone got up very early, and after everything was ready, they left the city.

The Minister of Rites was already waiting at the city gate, and with him was Prince Yong.

Prince Yong was very impatient, but one of the purposes of the delegation's visit was to commemorate Princess Qinghe, which had some connection with Prince Yong's Mansion, so he had to attend.

The two sides said goodbye briefly at the city gate, and the Yan delegation was about to move forward, but suddenly a team of royal guards arrived and surrounded the delegation.

Although not many people left the city that morning, there were still some. Seeing this scene, everyone was so frightened that they quickly hid behind the guards at the city gate, unable to help but stick their heads out to look.

"Your Majesty, what's going on in the Great Zhou?" Lord Shangguan asked suspiciously. He couldn't understand why they were trying to stop them now, having already released them.

Feng Chenmu couldn't figure it out either. The only thing he could think of was that the Emperor of the Great Zhou had changed his mind and wanted to take back the purple jade pendant.

Shadow's heart skipped a beat. His intuition told him that this group of people's obstruction was most likely related to him.

He's exposed!

He hid behind the team and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Not long after, the emperor's carriage arrived at the city gate. He Linzhang lifted the curtain and saw the emperor and empress sitting in the carriage.

Everyone except the imperial guards knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Feng Chenmu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tao Yanyan: "The Emperor and Empress of Great Zhou are reluctant to part with me? They even came here specially to see me off."

The cynical tone made Tao Yanyan want to arrest him and throw him into jail again.

He Linzhang said calmly: "Don't misunderstand, Prince Yan. I'm not here to see you off. I'm here to arrest someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen secret guards rushed out and headed straight for the shadow.

Seeing the situation was not good, Shadow stopped pretending and drew his sword to fight with the secret guards. However, he was seriously injured and was captured soon.

Feng Chenmu said angrily: "He Linzhang, what do you mean?" He was so angry that he didn't bother to maintain appearances and called the Emperor of the Great Zhou by his name.

He Linzhang said calmly, "I can let you go, but this man must stay. He has repeatedly broken into the palace at night and kidnapped the prince. I will definitely not let him stay."

Feng Chenmu looked at Shadow in disbelief. Shadow's eyes dodged, and Feng Chenmu's heart sank to the bottom.

He clenched his fists. Shadow was a top-notch expert beside him, and he must not let him be taken away by the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
