Jiang Tingyu listened to the butler and couldn't help but glance at Xia Yuhan, whose expression was indeed awkward! Haha!
It was as if she was laughing while maintaining a serious face.
It seemed like she was deliberately putting on a stern look, yet there was an undeniable urge to laugh and a hint of annoyance in her expression...
Jiang Tingyu looked at her face, which seemed to be begging for a slap, and suddenly blurted out something that left the butler in shock: "Hehe, Jiang Tingyu didn't notice that Xia Yuhan also has a slow reaction side, and that silly look is truly amusing!"
This meant he still had a chance!
"Is that so?" the butler muttered to himself, his eyes starting to focus intently on Xia Yuhan. "My lord, I still think Yuhan's expression is quite awkward! It looks uncomfortable, like the kind of expression one has when suffering from constipation."
Pfft...
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingyu couldn't help but chuckle, a beautiful Pearl Dimple spreading across his lips, smiling radiantly.
Especially when he saw Xia Yuhan and the two guards skilled in Lightness Technique appearing behind Cang Yile, his laughter grew even more joyful.
"Xia Yuhan, you are truly remarkable! Jiang Tingyu really admires you for breaking out of a circle surrounded by two hundred experts just because of the loss of a few horses. Jiang, you should be more polite to Yu Han from now on, got it? If you argue with her, you'll definitely be the one at a disadvantage. Haha!"
"Understood, my lord," the butler said with a resentful glance at Xia Yuhan, who was approaching them. Even if his lord didn't remind him, he would still be polite to Xia Yuhan, after all, he had witnessed the lethal power of her gaze and dared not act recklessly.
...
In fact, Xia Yuhan's awkward expression was not entirely due to Cang Yile behind her; it was mainly because of Jiang Tingyu and the others. One moment they looked serious towards her, and the next they were smiling brightly, making her feel completely unsettled.
"Your Highness, why do I feel like Right Chancellor is laughing strangely?"
"Let them laugh; what's strange about it?" Cang Yile was filled with jealousy at that moment.
"Not at all, it's just that I've never seen Right Chancellor smile so happily before!"
"Foolish woman, shut up!" Upon hearing Xia Yuhan, Cang Yile immediately became angry. "I often smile at you with such an enchanting smile, and you don't even acknowledge me. But when he Jiang Tingyu smiles at you, you get all flustered?"
Xia Yuhan frowned, her delicate brows knitting together. "What is the prince talking about? Yu Han didn't hear a word..."
I've seen narcissism before, but never this level of it!
Cang Yile: ...
Hmph! This woman, Jiang Tingyu likes you and has not hidden his feelings for you; can't you see that? You're really quite foolish!
However, it wasn't the right time for Cang Yile to scold Xia Yuhan, as they had already ridden up to Jiang Tingyu and his group. If they continued talking and were overheard, it would be very bad.
"My lord!"
As the two factions converged and the horses came to a halt, Xia Yuhan leaped off her horse and knelt on one knee to greet Jiang Tingyu.
Similarly, out of courtesy, Jiang Tingyu's group dismounted and quickly helped Xia Yuhan up. "Please rise, Yu Han. Thank you so much today!"
"My lord, there's no need for such words. Protecting my lord is what Yu Han should do!"
"Not at all." After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Tingyu bowed to Cang Yile. "Today, if it weren't for your timely arrival, Prince Yile, we might still be trapped in the enemy's grasp."
Cang Yile was not polite in return. "Right Chancellor, there's no need for thanks; otherwise, others might think that this was a trap set by me to curry favor with you. The truth is that I came here simply to find Xia Yuhan. If you really want to thank someone, then thank Xia Yuhan!"
"Even so, I still want to express my gratitude to Prince Yile." After saying this sincerely to Cang Yile, he performed a bow as a sign of respect.
"Right Chancellor, you are too polite!" Cang Yile returned the same courtesy to Jiang Tingyu.
At this moment, the last two guards of Jiang Tingyu arrived on horseback, dismounted immediately, and knelt on one knee: "We pay our respects to Right Chancellor, to Prince Yile, and to Yuhan!"
"Please rise quickly. Are you all injured?"
"In response to your honor, we have not sustained serious injuries; the blood on us is from the enemy. If we were to discuss whether we were hurt, it would only be minor wounds, nothing significant."
"Nonsense! Protecting your own lives is important!" Jiang Tingyu scolded repeatedly. "You are all my brothers; how could I let my brothers get hurt while I remain unscathed?"
Seeing this scene, Xia Yuhan couldn't help but feel moved by Jiang Tingyu: "Your honor's heart for the people and equality is truly admirable. By the way, your honor, you have extensive knowledge and rich practical experience. Do you have any guesses as to who sent so many people to hunt us down this time?"
Jiang Tingyu sighed deeply: "To gather so many people to deal with us in such a short time is not something that can be done overnight. Unless these people were sent by General Xia, because only General Xia has that capability at present. However, this is merely my speculation. It could also be that Puppet Master. Or perhaps the other side has been plotting for a long time and has been training in advance. There are more than just one or two people in the entire capital who have this ability. In any case, we should keep this matter under wraps for now; I will investigate thoroughly and provide you with an explanation."
"You should take care of yourself too, especially regarding Canglong Hui!"
"Jiang Tingyu knows. Yu Han, you should also take care! That loud explosion just now was your secret weapon, right? Make sure to be cautious before using it next time; otherwise, you will attract more attention."
...
The two of them exchanged words of concern back and forth, making Cang Yile, who stood nearby, fume with jealousy, his face darkening as he radiated a strong sense of rivalry.
"Right Chancellor, it’s getting late; we should head back quickly. Otherwise, if we encounter any more dangers on the road, I cannot bear the responsibility. I will part ways with Xia Yuhan here."
He was about to pull Xia Yuhan away, but she stubbornly resisted, shaking off his arm and turning back to speak gently with Jiang Tingyu: "Your honor, I will escort you back; otherwise, Yu Han won't feel at ease!"
If this had happened earlier, Xia Yuhan would surely have been met with disdain from those around Jiang Tingyu, thinking she was trying too hard to spend time with their lord while pretending it was for his safety. It was as if they really needed a woman to protect them.
However, ever since the recent incident, Xia Yuhan's status in their hearts has rapidly risen, especially since the butler saw Xia Yuhan like this and felt even more compelled to create opportunities for Jiang Tingyu: "My lord, Yuhan is right. Why not just go along with Yuhan's wishes?"
Cang Yile glared at Xia Yuhan with resentment. He glared, but this woman seemed to be deliberately ignoring him, so he could only turn to Jiang Tingyu: "My lord, General Xia's team has already set off. They will surely hear a huge noise and come rushing this way. Therefore, the Right Chancellor only needs to continue down this path."
Jiang Tingyu smiled knowingly: "This King will certainly remember the prince's intentions. Yuhan, please return first. The guards by Jiang Tingyu's side will definitely protect him well. Moreover, this place is relatively close to the capital, so there shouldn't be any significant risks."
"This..." Xia Yuhan was still somewhat hesitant; after all, Jiang Tingyu had a history! Previously, he had risked everything alone to keep her safe. How could she feel at ease?
But at this moment, there was no room for Xia Yuhan to make a choice.
Once Jiang Tingyu spoke, Cang Yile happily took his leave and directly picked up Xia Yuhan to mount a horse: "Right Chancellor, my beloved woman has been found. We shall part ways here!"
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Then, while Xia Yuhan was still in a dilemma, Cang Yile rode away swiftly.
"Cang Yile, I respect you and address you as prince; you don't need to decide my matters! What if the Right Chancellor encounters danger?"
"Xia Yuhan, you are truly foolish!"
Xia Yuhan retorted defiantly: "Where am I foolish? If it weren't for my formation, you all would probably still be fighting for your lives against the enemy!"
Cang Yile covered his face, wishing he could immediately seal this woman's mouth: "You are foolish! If you really went out with Jiang Tingyu, others would know that you disappeared together with him. Just think about how many people would see you as a thorn in their side! Furthermore, those loud noises today will definitely attract attention. When that happens, you'll be implicated in this matter and suffer the consequences! Jiang Tingyu will be fine; the emperor values him so much that he will surely send people to protect him closely. Foolish woman, you are different!"
Xia Yuhan suddenly understood: "Oh right, how did I not think of that? The Right Chancellor must have considered this too; that's why he insisted on me leaving."
Cang Yile was almost in tears: "Woman, you keep talking about Jiang Tingyu, so what am I, Cang Yile?"
Just as he reached the riverbank, Cang Yile sulkily stopped his horse and walked weakly toward the stream. " Xia Yuhan, be a good girl and hold This King's horse."
As he was about to step into the river, Cang Yile reluctantly turned back. "Xia Yuhan, am I really that unworthy in your heart? Am I truly not as good as Jiang Tingyu?"
However, Xia Yuhan's response left Cang Yile even more exasperated. How did he end up with such a emotionally dense and foolish woman?
She innocently replied, "Why does the prince suddenly compare himself to an adult? The prince is the prince, and the adult is the adult. Besides, isn't Right Chancellor in danger right now? Doesn't that have a lot to do with you?"
Damn!
Cang Yile was about to go crazy! When had he ever treated someone so well as a dignified Evil Master Zhangmen?
And yet, when he tried to be kind to someone, they didn't appreciate it!
Wasn't this just tormenting him?
With that thought, Cang Yile sulkily fell straight into the river.
