Chapter 507: Swallow Ridge (Part 3)
“Yes.” Tang Ze took this and went out.
“Your highness, for Tang Ze to be appointed as a general, he’s lacking a bit of qualifications…..” That old eunuch had a thoughtful smile on his face as he whispered to the seventh prince.
“Qualification. With Ji Chao Yuan dead, even if Tang Ze’s qualification isn’t enough, the third prince’s people also doesn’t have any qualifications. Who can take this position will depend on whose fist is harder!” A fierce glow flashed in the seventh prince’s eyes.
……
Huo Ling flew out of the Feather Wing headquarters with the fatty.
Huo Ling flew with all his might and his speed couldn’t be compared to before.
Although he didn’t change form, each time he flapped his wings, he would move forward a hundred meters with the fatty.
After flying for over two hours, the fatty and Huo Ling arrived at the Swallow Ridge.
“Huo Ling, fly a bit lower and a bit slower. We’ll be there soon, don’t fly over.” The fatty looked down beneath him. His little eyes narrowed and he looked for anything suspicious.
Huo Ling continued flying forward with the fatty, but his speed had been reduced by half.
“Un? Huo Ling, over there, go down first.” The fatty saw some signs of fighting by the road and quickly had Huo Ling drop down.
The fatty stood on the road and looked all around.
There were trees on both sides of this place. The trees were tall and dense with lush foliage, making it a good place for an ambush.
What attracted the fatty…..was the marks of blood on the ground and…..the several dozen weapons scattered all over.
Ji, ji, cha, cha!
Huo Ling called out in the air. He wanted to tell the fatty that “no one was around”, but after saying this, Huo Ling realized that the fatty wasn’t his master…..He couldn’t understand him.
The fatty looked around with knitted brows, feeling that something was off.
“Un! Why are there no corpses!”
The fatty looked around again and didn’t see a single corpse!
Based on the injuries Bai You had, Qing’er and the others must have been through a fierce battle. Moreover, the other side must have been much stronger than them, otherwise they wouldn’t have desperately let Bai You come report to them.
But…..
But if the other side was much stronger than Qing’er and the others, there should have been some deaths.
But around here…..There were only weapons and drops of blood scattered on the ground.
In this kind of situation, it could only mean…..Qing’er and the others, a hundred people had been captured!
The fatty’s expression changed and he jumped into the trees, looking around from above.
It was very clean. Other than these weapons, there were no other traces.
The fatty went around again and found nothing strange.
“Huo Ling, we’re going back. There is nothing else here.” The fatty called out to Huo Ling in the tree in low spirits.
Huo Ling flapped his wings and grabbed the fatty as he flew off to the capital city.
……
“Big sister Yu Xi, everyone has packed up. Other than us, the remaining people will go to the hidden place arranged ahead of time.” Nangong Ying Xue reported to Ye Yu Xi.
Ye Yu Xi nodded. She looked up at the sky and saw noon had just passed. Everyone could hide themselves into the capital city before it became dark.
As for where she and Ying Xue would hide, Ye Yu Xi had already thought of it. They could directly hide in Xue Qing’s house.
She looked over at Bai Jin Yi to the side.
Bai Jin Yi locked gazes with Ye Yu Xi and said in a soft voice, “I’ll live with you.”
Ke, ke!
Nangong Ying Xue heard these ambiguous words and unconsciously gave a few coughs.
Ye Yu Xi glared at Bai Jin Yi, but she didn’t explain anything.
She said to Nangong Ying Xue to the said, “Set off.”
