Qin Yaling was hesitant, not knowing whether she should trust this stranger. But thinking that her brother was still in danger, she decided to take a risk.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But you must ensure my brother's safety." Qin Yaling said firmly.
The Peacock Prince smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I say."
So Qin Yaling followed the Peacock Prince out of the room.
At this time, Aunt Hong stopped the Third Princess Qin Yaling. She said anxiously, "Third Princess, let's wait for His Royal Highness the Third Prince. You can't follow strangers! What if there's any danger?"
Qin Yaling stopped and looked back at Aunt Hong, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. She frowned and said stiffly, "Aunt Hong, he's not a stranger. He's the prince of the Peacock Clan. He won't do anything to me. Besides, we don't know when the Third Prince will arrive. We can't just wait here forever, can we?"
Aunt Hong sighed helplessly. She knew the Third Princess was stubborn and would find it difficult to change her mind once she made up her mind. But she still felt uneasy about letting the Third Princess leave alone with the Peacock Prince. After all, this was a strange place, and no one knew what would happen.
"But..." Aunt Hong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Yaling.
"Okay, Aunt Hong, don't say anymore. I've made up my mind. You just wait here for the third prince. If he comes, tell him that I went to visit the palace with the Peacock Prince." After saying that, Qin Yaling no longer paid attention to Aunt Hong, turned around and followed the Peacock Prince's pace.
Aunt Hong watched Qin Yaling leave with a worried look on her face. She hoped the Third Princess would be safe and sound, and she also looked forward to the Third Prince's arrival soon.
Aunt Hong waited anxiously, finally seeing the return of the Third Prince and his companions. She eagerly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said urgently, "Third Prince, I am Aunt Hong, the servant of the Third Princess! Please save the Fifth Prince and the Third Princess! The Third Princess has been taken away by a man claiming to be a Peacock Prince, and I am powerless to stop him. The Fifth Prince is being held captive in the Orcs' prison..."
The third prince, Qin Jinghuai, glanced at Lu Siqi and said, "Siqi, did the man we just met say that he was Kong Mingyu, the prince of the Peacock Clan?"
Lu Siqi thought about it and said, "Yes, but I didn't see the third princess."
"How many princes does the Peacock Clan have?" Qin Jinghuai asked.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Siqi said, "It is said that the leader of the Peacock Tribe has only one son and one daughter."
"Aunt Hong, tell me, why are my third sister and fifth brother in the Orcish Imperial City?" Qin Jinghuai turned to look at Gu Hong and said in a deep voice.
Hong Gu lowered her head, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and spoke as if she had made up her mind, "Your Highness, the Third Princess and the Fifth Prince concealed their identities and followed Master Huang's team. The Fifth Prince was captured by the Orcs and thrown into the dungeon because he caused trouble outside the alchemist competition venue."
Qin Jinghuai's eyes turned cold, "They are so brave. If my father knew about this..." He paused and didn't continue.
At this time, Lu Siqi interrupted and said, "Third Prince, the most urgent thing is to find the Third Princess and rescue the Fifth Prince first. The rest can be discussed later."
Qin Jinghuai nodded helplessly, "That's right, Siqi, you take people to look for the third sister immediately, and I will go to see the Crown Prince of the Orcs, hoping to rescue the fifth brother."
Qin Jinghuai and Lu Siqi acted separately. Qin Jinghuai and his entourage went to the Prince's Mansion, while Lu Siqi, after thinking about it, took Hong Gu to find Kong Mingyu. Someone pretended to be him and took away the third princess.
Qin Jinghuai and his group arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion of the Orcs. Qin Jinghuai glanced at the Prince's Mansion and said, "Qingzhu."
"Yes, Your Highness." Qingzhu replied.
Qingzhu walked up to the Prince's Mansion and said to the guards in front of the Prince's Mansion: "The Third Prince of the Human Race pays homage to His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince. Please pass the message on."
"Please wait a moment," the guard replied, and then turned and entered the Prince's residence.
A quarter of an hour later, the guard came back and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here." After saying that, he stood upright back in his original position.
Qingzhu took a look, then returned to Qin Jinghuai and replied, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Long is not at home."
Qin Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go." He thought of the Orc Crown Prince. He should have remembered that he had come to see him regarding his fifth brother's matter. Now that he had told him he wasn't at home, it meant he didn't want to discuss this matter. It seemed he needed to investigate why his fifth brother had been held captive for so long and why he hadn't been released.
"Qingzhu, go to Luanfeng Tower." Qin Jinghuai said.
"Yes, Your Highness," Qingzhu replied, turning the carriage around and heading towards Luanfeng Tower.
They passed a carriage, and the person in the carriage saw them and wanted to call for help anxiously. But she was tied up and couldn't make a sound. She was Qin Yaling, the third princess of the human race.
Sifang Pavilion
Long Yan came here after meeting Queen Long. He knew that Lin Ziyu's father, General Lin, would come to Sifang Pavilion to visit Lin Ziyu today.
At this time, Lin Ziyu had lunch with his father Lin Cheng and his fifth grandfather Lin Yaochen, and was drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard.
Long Yan walked into the courtyard and first bowed to Lin Yaochen and said, "Hello, Fifth Grandpa."
Lin Yaochen smiled and nodded in response.
At this time, Lin Ziyu ran over and said happily: "Brother Longyan, you are here. This is my father." After that, he pulled Longyan towards Lin Cheng.
Long Yan glanced at Lin Cheng, then said respectfully, "Hello, General Lin."
Looking at Long Yan, Lin Cheng couldn't help but recall what happened a year ago. Back then, when he went to pick up Lin Ziyu, who had been away from home for over two months, half of Lin Ziyu's house was in good condition, and half was in ruins. Lin Ziyu had even rescued a seriously injured young man and promised to bring him back home if he wanted him to. Now, when he saw Long Yan again, a complex wave of emotions welled up in his heart.
Lin Cheng stared at Long Yan's face and asked seriously, "Is it you?"
Long Yan admitted frankly, "It's me, General Lin. Thank you so much for taking me in. If you had insisted on not taking me with you, I might not have been able to return to the Orcs."
Lin Cheng felt a little reluctant. This man actually kidnapped his son. He snorted and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Lin Yaochen, who was standing by, asked softly, "Lin Cheng, what's going on?"
Without waiting for Lin Cheng to reply, Lin Ziyu said first: "Fifth Grandpa, let me tell you." He walked up to Lin Yaochen and said, "Fifth Grandpa, this is what happened. The general's wife, my father's wife, always said that I was redundant and unwanted. She also drove me out and made me live on the edge of the forest in Yuecheng. That's why I met the injured Long Yan." Lin Ziyu recounted his experiences in Yuecheng and his encounter with Long Yan.
After hearing this, Lin Yaochen looked at Lin Cheng angrily and said, "Lin Cheng, when did you get married? How come I didn't know this? When you go back, think about how to explain it to your father. Humph..."
