The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

"good news?"

These words left Helian Yun Shen somewhat puzzled, and he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath. Lei Meng Sha, however, continued speaking with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Yun Shen, you're quite the ladies' man. His Majesty is planning to marry the Fifth Princess to you. The Fifth Princess is a very beautiful and spirited woman."

At that time, you and Ruofeng will be related.

You have now become the emperor's son-in-law.

"Brother Lei, what kind of good news is this? I'd rather avoid this kind of thing than hear it! How can this be considered good news?"

He heard Helian Yun Shen reply to Lei Meng Sha with a bitter smile.

Upon hearing this, Yueyao clenched her hands tightly, hidden in her sleeves, and in her heart, she cursed the emperor of Beili even more.

She was barely able to keep hiding it anymore.

"Ruofeng is well aware of your thoughts. That's why he informed me in advance so I could tell you. You can then simply leave beforehand."

This will all be over soon.

Seeing Helian Yun Shen's wry smile, Lei Meng Sha stopped teasing him. She explained Xiao Ruo Feng's arrangements and good intentions to him, and Helian Yun Shen felt relieved upon hearing this.

That's actually a very good result.

On the other side, Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to be anxious. However, even as she relaxed, Yueyao was already thinking about how to find other people with innate martial arts meridians as soon as possible.

Once she finds such a person, she can be free from her burdens and then she can come to Beili to meet Yun Shen without any worries.

Let's sing and ride horses together across the land!

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. You can leave as soon as you finish your breakfast. If there are any people blocking your way at the city gate, don't be lenient with them; just use force to intimidate them."

Having said that much, Lei Mengsha stood up, patted Helian Yunshen on the shoulder, gave him some final instructions, and then left.

After seeing Lei Meng off,

Helian Yun Shen then looked at Yue Yao, who was still in the mansion.

"Young Master Xi, as you heard, I'm leaving Tianqi City soon. We'll meet again someday!"

“Young Master Helian, I was just about to leave Tianqi City. I was planning to say goodbye to you earlier, but it seems we can travel together for a while now.”

"Really? That's great."

Hearing Yueyao's words, Helian Yun Shen's face showed some joy. Being able to travel with someone he knew was much better than wandering the world alone.

…………

After having breakfast at the mansion, the two got up and left. This time, Helian Yunshen did not ride the white horse he had come on, but instead took the black horse that Xiao Tianmu had given him. Yueyao, on the other hand, bought a fine horse in the city to accompany him.

The two passed through the inner city gate and soon arrived at the outer city gate of Tianqi City. The guards on this side of the city gate saw Helian Yun Shen arrive.

He immediately ordered his soldiers to go out and intercept them!

"What's going on?! Why can't we leave the city?"

Why are the city gates being closed so suddenly?!

Those preparing to leave the city, seeing the soldiers doing this, felt dissatisfied and questioned them. Some of the bolder ones even tried to break through.

"Everyone, behave yourselves. This is an order from above. No one is allowed to leave the city today. If you want to leave, you can try again tomorrow. Trying to break through this checkpoint is an act of contempt for the Northern Li Dynasty. Think it over!"

The general addressed everyone in a loud voice.

Such a statement immediately silenced those who were dissatisfied, and even those who had been bold earlier stopped talking about venturing out.

“Young Master Helian, this must be aimed at you.”

Yueyao saw what was happening at the city gate and turned slightly to explain to Helian Yunshen. Hearing this, Helian Yunshen nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he was certain that this was directed at him.

The two quickly arrived at the city gate.

"Both gentlemen are not allowed to leave the city today. Please return!"

The general looked at the two men who were about to leave, and his attitude was much more respectful than when he had faced others.

This respectful attitude did not earn them obedience or understanding. After all, Helian Yun Shen knew that this was directed at him, so naturally he would not understand them in return.

"I want to leave the city!"

Zhang opened his mouth and uttered these words very calmly.

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the general, revealing his strength as a cultivator at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. The general, sensing Helian Yun Shen's power, was filled with fear.

If such a powerful opponent were to attack him, he could finish him off in just two moves.

But if they let it go, their superiors wouldn't let them off the hook.

It really is very difficult!

It was truly an unfortunate outcome that he encountered such a thing while on duty guarding the city gate.

"Young master, please don't put me in a difficult position!"

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

A smile appeared on his face as Helian Yun Shen slowly spoke these words. The next moment, the general and the nearby soldiers were completely controlled by Helian Yun Shen's illusion magic.

They stood there, dumbfounded.

"Open the city gates for me."

"Yes."

Like a puppet, he obeyed Helian Yun Shen's orders and walked to the city gate to open the gate that had just been closed.

The moment the city gates opened, Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao mounted their horses and rode away. Seeing the city gates open, the other people remaining there were also eager to follow suit.

But after thinking about it, I ultimately refrained from doing it.

As Helian Yun Shen left, those who had been controlled by the illusion were also freed from it. The general looked at this situation with a grim expression.

At the same time, I was also very nervous as I reported this matter to my superiors.

The news quickly reached the imperial palace in the north of Tianqi City.

"Ruofeng, you still haven't listened to your father in the end."

Upon hearing this result, he immediately knew it was the one his son, Xiao Ruofeng, had given. He waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave immediately, and they quickly departed as the emperor prepared to leave.

In the royal study

The Emperor of Beili gazed silently at the antiques behind him for a moment, then a smile without any real emotion appeared on his face.

"Since that's the case, I'll try a different approach. Ruofeng, do you think you can change things by doing this?"

Do not!

No one can disobey my decision. Winning over the chosen ones has always been part of the Xiao family's ancestral teachings. How can we just let it go like this?

impossible. "

He muttered this to himself, then summoned his personal eunuch to his side.

"Go and tell Wanqing this news, and make it sound rather serious."

As for how to say it, I don't need to tell you, do I?

"Your Majesty, rest assured. This old servant understands, this old servant understands!"

The personal eunuch naturally knew how to speak, and upon hearing this, he waved his hand, indicating that he should go down and do as he was told.
