Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi:......

He finally understood why the conversation was so strange; it turned out this person thought he was going to assassinate Ayu.

"When did I say I was going to assassinate the Third Prince?"

Lin Yu realized he had misunderstood and took a sip of tea to cover his embarrassment.

After recovering, his gossipy instincts also intensified, and he asked:

"Then why did you ask the Third Prince to buy you? It couldn't be to become a royal guard, could it?"

If that's the reason, then he should go to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Third Prince has always been a man of modesty and non-competitive nature, and he and His Highness the Crown Prince are like brothers.

Akahoshi bluntly stated, "Of course I like him and I want to marry him."

This self-righteous tone startled Lin Yu so much that he spat out his tea.

He coughed for a while, pointed at Akahoshi and mumbled "you, you, you" for ages before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence:

"You, what did you say?"

Chi Xing repeated, "I fell in love with the Third Prince at first sight, and I'm even more devoted to him upon seeing him again. I will marry no one but him in this lifetime."

Lin Yu stared in disbelief, clutching his heart:

"But, but you're a man."

Akahoshi nodded matter-of-factly: "That's right."

"But the Third Prince is also a man." Lin Yu's voice almost cracked.

Raised in the backyard all these years, he doesn't even know anything about matters of the heart, yet he understands the balance of yin and yang in a marriage. These two men...

"What a shame!"

Chi Xing laughed; this young master was still a bit old-fashioned.

"You don't understand. That's how love is. When two people are attracted to each other and fall in love, they're in love. There's no need to distinguish between men and women."

Lin Yu was still in shock. He simply couldn't imagine the scene of the tall and strong Chi Xing nestled in the Third Prince's arms.

He shivered.

Chixing teased him on purpose: "We're about the same age, how come you don't even know these things? Some people outside keep quite a few male concubines inside their courtyards."

"Our Great Yue Kingdom's most famous Nanfeng Pavilion is in the capital. If you don't believe me, let's go there another day..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Chixing, why are you... like this? The Third Prince will be angry if he hears you like this, won't he?"

Akahoshi shook his head: "No."

Lin Yu: "I don't believe it."

He had met the Third Prince before. On the surface, he was gentle and refined, but his phoenix eyes looked at people with a nonchalant air. If he were not a man, he would definitely be called the most beautiful man.

Yet this same Third Prince, back in the hunting grounds, had skinned and dismembered the servants who betrayed him.

It was exactly what it sounded like; the scene was bloody, yet the Third Prince had a smile on his face.

That year, he was only thirteen years old, and the Third Prince was a few months younger than him.

Several of the children were so frightened that they fainted. After Lin Yu was carried home, he was sick for more than half a year and dared not go out.

From then on, Lin Yu dared not approach the Third Prince whenever he saw him.

In fact, it wasn't just him; no one else dared to do it either. They would rather offend His Highness the Crown Prince than the Third Prince.

Therefore, Lin Yu fantasizes about Chi Xing marrying the Third Prince. If Chi Xing dares to go to that Nanfeng Pavilion, the Third Prince will definitely skin them alive.

"In short, I'm not going to Nanfeng Pavilion with you, so you should give up on that idea."

Lin Yu thought to himself that even if he were to go, he would go alone, not with Chi Xing.

After learning that he was not the original Erzhu, Lin Yu also asked about Erzhu's whereabouts.

Chixing said that Erzhu had betrayed him long ago, just like Wang Dong, and had already been killed by Chixing.

In the past, Lin Yu probably wouldn't have believed it, but Chi Xing sold him two life-saving medicinal herbs, and his health improved a lot.

That makes it undeniable. Besides, only he knows that Chixing is not the original Second Pillar, so it won't have much of an impact.

"Master, it's time to set off. Let's go greet the young master," Xia Zhu said as she walked in from outside.

Lin Yu nodded: "Let's go. My brother probably hasn't received my letter yet. Now that I'm back, he won't have to search for medicine for me everywhere anymore."

When they arrived at the city gate, there were already quite a few people waiting there.

"I heard that General Pei and Young General Lin have both returned. This is quite a lively occasion."

"General Pei? You're the one from the former Prince Pei's residence?"

Some people whispered among themselves, saying that Akahoshi had excellent hearing and had overheard everything.

"That's right, even the Third Prince came out to greet us."

"Oh? But the title of 'King of a Different Surname' in the Pei family is no longer valid, is it?"

"I don't know. It was all over the news a while ago. It's said that before he died, Prince Pei asked for a favor for his eldest grandson, General Pei."

"Could it be related to the Third Prince?"

The man was dressed in fine clothes, and his voice became even softer; Akahoshi didn't hear what he said afterward.

A commotion began to rise ahead.

"They're here, they're here, the two generals are back."

Chi Xing looked ahead and saw that those people should be the Pei family. Not far from the Pei family, a luxurious carriage was parked.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a handsome man in a moon-white robe stepped out.

Three thousand strands of hair fluttered in the wind with her robes, her phoenix eyes looked down upon the world, her nose was delicate and high, and her thin, red lips were slightly pursed.

At a glance, Akahoshi recognized that this was Ayu, the person he had been longing for.

Just looking at Ayu's aloof appearance, Akahoshi felt an urge to fly over and hug and kiss him passionately.

Unfortunately, Zhao Qiyu just kept looking ahead and didn't look over.

Lin Yu nudged his arm and winked at him, "It's the Third Prince."

"Strange, why is the Third Prince here? Is he here to welcome my elder brother and General Pei?"

Unbeknownst to Akahoshi, another group of people had arrived behind him.

"That is His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage."

Lin Yu asked in confusion, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is here, why is the Third Prince here?"

Akahoshi had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second someone said, "To betroth the Third Prince to General Pei? Hiss—how is that possible? He's a prince."

Another whispered, "Keep your voice down. What's impossible?"

"The title of Prince Pei, a prince of a different surname, was obtained by saving that person back then..."

Chi Xing watched Zhao Qiyu's retreating figure and couldn't help but purse her lips.

250 speaks based on the plot:

[This triggers a scene. Your Highness, don't be sad. We'll take it back. The Immortal Lord doesn't like Pei Ming at all.]

Chi Xing stared at Zhao Qiyu until his eyes stung: "What can I do? How can a lowly servant like me compare to a general?"

If it weren't for so many people around, Akahoshi would have wanted to find a place to cry.

250: [Oh dear, don't be discouraged. The Immortal Lord doesn't like him, and they're destined to be apart.]

An army was approaching from afar. At the head of the procession, on two tall horses, were General Pei Ming and Young General Lin Feng.

Following behind were carriages and soldiers stretching as far as the eye could see, the procession was grand and attracted countless onlookers.

250 got excited: [Do you see that carriage?]

Akahoshi: [I'm not blind.]

250: [The person in the carriage is Pei Ming's savior, yes, just as you think.]

While hunting, Pei Ming was ambushed by a local tribe. A local orphan shielded him from arrows and was wounded. Pei Ming took him in as his savior.
