Young Master Manor.
“The auspicious time is here—”
“Fist bow to the heavens—”
“Second bow to the parents—”
“Husband and wife bow to each other—”
“The ceremony is complete—”
As the emcee’s loud and penetrating voice fell, there was a commotion in the hall. The groom held the bride’s hand and walked towards the bridal chamber under everyone’s curious and excited gazes.
Perhaps it was everyone’s imagination, but why did they feel that the bride was a little tall? Young Master Yan’s expression was very stiff, but he was always like this, so they did not think there was anything wrong.
Young Master Yan had married a village girl instead of so many young ladies in the Capital. This was really jaw-dropping, but who asked him to be a little lunatic? It was a miracle for him to marry a wife.
Everyone wanted to play pranks on the newlyweds, but they did not have the guts. It was still the Fourth Prince who was not afraid of death. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the bedroom, but Uncle Wan stopped him in time.
Uncle Wan chuckled and said, “My Young Master said that every moment of the night is worth a thousand gold. Your Highness, it’s better not to disturb my Young Master and Young Madam.”
These words were too straightforward. The Fourth Prince, who had yet to experience human nature, blushed and did not dare to go forward to cause trouble.
After guarding against this most noble wolf, the little wolves behind were nothing to be afraid of.
On the other hand, after the couple entered the bridal chamber, the groom quickly inserted the latch, causing the servant who was serving them to be stunned on the spot. After so many years, Young Master must have been anxious. He couldn’t wait to press the bride down like this?
Of course the groom was anxious. He wasn’t anxious to consummate the marriage, but he was anxious to take off the human skin mask on his face. It was uncomfortable to wear a stiff face.
Shadow Thirteen sat on the wedding bed boldly. He looked at Shadow Six, who was like a little wife beside him, and said, “There’s no one else.”
Shadow Six quickly raised his hand to remove the veil. The tassel of the veil was hanging on the phoenix crown and could not be removed.
“Stupid!” Shadow Thirteen raised his well-defined hand and helped him take off the veil.
In order to not let others realize that the person under the veil was not the real bride, Shadow Six was also forced to put on bride makeup. He had red lips and white teeth, and his skin was fair. In addition, he could not pretend to be the bridegroom since he lost the rock-paper-scissors game. His stifled eyes were filled with grievance. At first glance, he really looked like a newly married woman.
Shadow Thirteen knew what he was aggrieved about. He coughed lightly and said, “Don’t look so depressed. Didn’t you mention it yourself? Whoever loses will pretend to be the bride.” It was because he was the one who mentioned it that he felt even more aggrieved.
The two of them sat in the room.
Half an hour later, Shadow Six urged Shadow Thirteen. “Aren’t you leaving?”
Shadow Thirteen’s face darkened. “The outside world thinks that we’re consummating our marriage. How long has it been? Am I that fast!”
Shadow Six counted with his fingers and said in a daze, “You-you usually take so long…”
After two hours, Shadow Thirteen went to the study in high spirits under Shadow Six’s frightened gaze.
It was obvious who did this. All the princes had come to Yan City’s Young Master’s wedding. Yan Huaijing had also come. However, he had only hurriedly sent the betrothal gift and left without looking back. Logically speaking, this was not inappropriate, but thinking about his feelings for Yu Wan, people could not help but suspect him.
A pigeon landed on the windowsill.
Shadow Thirteen took down the note tied to the pigeon. After reading it, he said, “Young Master, the Second Prince has gone to the Prime Minister Manor.”
Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “Keep an eye on him!”
“Yes!”
After leaving the Prime Minister Manor, Yan Huaijing felt that he had been followed. This was not an ordinary spy. He tried a few times but could not shake them off. This was the price of coaxing Han Jingshu. His whereabouts had been exposed.
Jun Chang’an was left in the small courtyard. Otherwise, if he were to take action, he would at least be able to successfully escape.
“Your Highness, what should we do?” The coachman asked worriedly.
Yan Huaijing said in a deep voice, “Ignore him and walk forward.”
The carriage drove to a small river and crossed the wooden bridge. Then, Yan Huaijing took out his sword and cut the rope of the wooden bridge. The wooden bridge fell into the water.
Shadow Thirteen stood opposite the river for a long time. In the end, he clenched his fists and left coldly.
Not long after he left, Yan Huaijing jumped off the carriage and asked the coachman to move a stone by the shore. A dark passageway immediately appeared on the ground. Yan Huaijing walked down the passageway and crossed the river.
Yan Jiuchao’s people would definitely think of crossing the river, but they did not know that his destination was not on the other side of the river at all!
On the other hand, after Yan Huaijing set off to look for the daughter of the Prime Minister, Yu Wan stood up and walked around the courtyard. Firstly, she wanted to take a walk to digest her food, and secondly, she wanted to observe the terrain. She thought that if Yan Jiuchao could not find her here, she would think of a way to escape tomorrow. Jun Chang’an followed her without leaving her side. She could not go far, so she simply returned to her room to rest.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and saw a tall and mighty figure sitting by her bed. She was shocked and sat up.
“It’s me.” Yan Huaijing said.
“I know it’s His Highness. It’s so late. Why did you come to my room?” Why didn’t he light the lamp? Was he taking advantage of her when she wasn’t paying attention?
Yan Huaijing’s body emitted a sweet wine fragrance. Yu Wan frowned. “Your Highness drank?”
Drunken sex was even more worse! Fortunately, Yu Wan was lying down in her clothes. She was fully dressed. She did not think that there was any way she could seduce others. However, sometimes, a man’s beastly nature could not be blocked by a few pieces of cloth.
Yu Wan hurriedly took out a lighter and lit the oil lamp on the bedside table. The room was illuminated.
Yan Huaijing saw the vigilance in Yu Wan’s eyes and felt upset. “Are you also this vigilant when Yan Jiuchao appears in your room?”
Yu Wan thought to herself, Of course not. He’s the one who’s on guard.
Yan Huaijing said helplessly, “It’s just a little fruit wine. I’m not drunk. I won’t mess around with you.”
Yu Wan saw that he did not seem to be lying and slowly inserted the dagger back under her wide sleeve. She asked casually, “Did you go drink with Miss Han?”
“I just tasted it.” Han Jingshu brewed fruit wine for fun and invited Yan Huaijing to taste it. Yan Huaijing did not taste it in his heart. His mind was filled with Yu Wan’s appearance. When she walked in front of him in her red wedding dress, no one knew what kind of storm stirred in his heart.
Yu Wan was still wearing the wedding dress from the day. The usual wedding dress was very wide, but this dress was different. Her waist was tied very well, making one think of the slender waist. That was a curve that any man wanted to press under her and conquer.
Yan Huaijing felt his throat go dry.
Yu Wan was not a fool. Perhaps this man really did not have any evil thoughts at the beginning, but his face was full of desire. Yu Wan felt bitter. She did not do anything. If anything really happened, who would take responsibility?
“Ah Wan.” Yan Huaijing’s voice was hoarse.
Yu Wan said seriously, “Your Highness, we’ll talk tomorrow. I’m tired and need to rest. Aren’t you bringing me out of the Capital tomorrow? You should go back to your room and rest early!” I’ve already ordered you to leave. Hurry up and leave!
Yan Huaijing did not move.
Yu Wan could tell that he was in a dilemma. Yu Wan only hoped that his rationality could defeat his impulse, but soon, Yu Wan realized that these were not important because someone outside had come.
Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
Yan Huaijing said coldly, “Don’t be happy too early. It’s not Yan Jiuchao!” He had clearly shaken off Yan Jiuchao’s men. He did not believe that they could find this place so quickly.
Jun Chang’an started fighting with that group of people.
Yu Wan chuckled. “Your Highness, don’t be too smug. It’s Xu Shao.”
Yan Huaijing’s expression froze.
Of course, Yu Wan was guessing blindly. She didn’t go out, so how could she know who it was? However, this fellow had almost used force on her just now. It was also good to sow discord between him and Xu Shao.
The other party had a lot of people and all of them were skilled in martial arts. Jun Chang’an’s injuries at the pleasure boat had yet to completely recover, so he was a little powerless to deal with them. Suddenly, a few assassins rushed into the room.
Yan Huaijing drew his sword to block.
This group of assassins was here for Yu Wan. If they could capture her alive, they would, if they can’t, they’ll kill her. So they were merciless when they fought.
Yu Wan quickly hid behind Yan Huaijing.
Yan Huaijing was relieved to see that she knew to rely on him at the critical moment. Who knew that in the next second, he would be pushed out by Yu Wan to block the knife—
Yan Huaijing : “…”
Yan Huaijing thought that he could not avoid it, but something unexpected happened. Just as the assassin’s knife was about to stab his chest, the knife suddenly tilted and brushed past his shoulder.
Yan Huaijing was shocked.
Yu Wan said, “You should believe me now, right? It’s your uncle’s people! Other than your uncle, who wouldn’t bear to kill you!”
Yu Wan’s guess was on purpose. Just now, she had pushed Yan Huaijing to take the knife to protect herself. Even she did not expect the other party to show mercy. It seemed that she had guessed correctly. This group of assassins was sent by Xu Shao.
Yu Wan said angrily, “You were only concerned about guarding Yan Jiuchao, but you neglected your uncle. You deserve to be watched by your uncle!”
Yan Huaijing’s expression was cold, but he couldn’t care less about the complicated feelings in his heart. Yu Wan was captured by an assassin.
Jun Chang’an did not catch up.
“How did this happen?” Yan Huaijing clenched his fists and asked.
Jun Chang’an looked in the direction where they had disappeared with a solemn expression and said, “They’re sacrificial soldiers.”
They were all silver-masked sacrificial soldiers who were about to break through. They were only one step away from the gold-masked sacrificial soldiers. One of them could kill all of them, not to mention that there were five of them! This was almost enough to destroy the imperial guards!
The woman that he had painstakingly snatched was actually snatched away halfway. Yan Huaijing was so angry that he punched the tree!
Yu Wan, who had been kidnapped, could not be more desperate.
It was over, it was over. She still had a way to deal with Yan Huaijing if she fell into his hands. After all, Yan Huaijing cared about her, but Xu Shao was different. He didn’t care about her life or death. He was either using her to threaten Yan Jiuchao or kill her to provoke Yan Jiuchao. In short, she was going to live a life worse than death.
However, just as Yu Wan felt like she had nothing to live for, a tall figure descended from the sky like a god and blocked the sacrificial soldier’s path.
Yu Wan’s eyes lit up. “Ah Wei!”
The number one villain of the Ghost Clan—the majestic, mighty, domineering, and evil Ah Wei, who had committed countless crimes and could not escape from death appeared out of thin air!
Ah Wei grabbed the neck of a sacrificial soldier with one hand and slammed him into the mountain rock. The sharp stone saber pierced through the sacrificial soldier’s heart on the spot. The four sacrificial soldiers did not last more than ten moves in Ah Wei’s hands. The last sacrificial soldier planned to escape with Yu Wan. Yu Wan took the opportunity to ambush him. He let go and Yu Wan fell to the ground.
Yu Wan lifted her skirt and hurriedly ran towards Ah Wei. “Ah Wei! Ah Wei, why are you here? Fortunately, you’re here. Otherwise, I would be in trouble!”
Ah Wei sneered. Stupid woman. You’ll soon know that you’ve chosen a path that you can’t turn back.
Ah Wei grabbed Yu Wan, who had taken the initiative to come to him, and killed the last sacrificial soldier.
“Grandma, Ah Wei has succeeded! I saw his signal!”
In the village, another young man of the three walked into the house and said to the old man.
The old man nodded in relief. “Very good. The groom will think it’s the first person. The first person will think it’s the second person. No one will guess that there’s still us.”
The young man nodded. You could just say Yan Jiuchao, so-and-so. Alright, he didn’t know the last two.
“The carriage has been arranged?” The old man said.
“It’s arranged, Grandma,” the young man said.
The old man said in satisfaction, “As long as we capture her back to the clan, we won’t have to worry about that woman not falling into our trap.”
… .
“Ah Wei, where are you taking me? I can walk by myself!” Yu Wan was carried on Ah Wei’s shoulder and had already crossed two mountains. Yu Wan seriously suspected that he was lost.
Ah Wei did not say anything and continued to carry Yu Wan forward.
Yu Wan held her forehead. “Tell me, which way are you going?”
“East,” Ah Wei said.
Yu Wan widened her almond-shaped eyes. “But you went west!”
Ah Wei was speechless.
With Yu Wan’s help, Ah Wei finally found the right direction. He came to the agreed place and saw a carriage with a green canopy. He was secretly happy. Grandma had indeed asked someone to prepare the carriage!
Now, he only needed to tap this woman’s acupoints and throw her into the carriage! When she woke up, she would already be on the way back to the clan. No, perhaps she would already be in the clan!
Ah Wei revealed a devilish evil smile and tapped Yu Wan’s sleeping acupoint. He threw Yu Wan into the carriage and left without looking back.
“Grandma!” Ah Wei couldn’t wait to return to the village and said excitedly, “It’s done! I threw her into the carriage!” He was too excited to notice that there was someone else in the room.
The old man glanced at the coachman beside him and then at Ah Wei. His face was ashen. “Which carriage did you throw it on?”
“The one with the green canopy!”
“Is there a totem with a cloud pattern on the canopy?”
“Yes, yes!” Ah Wei nodded excitedly, waiting for Grandma’s praise!
The old man punched his head. “Idiot! That’s Yan Jiuchao’s carriage!”
Ah Wei: “…!!”
