Chapter 135 The owner of Youlou is very good at scolding people
Cang Yue State Official Road
After the rescue was successful, the four people left the cave. The rain was still falling sparsely outside, and the sky was gloomy, with no sign of clearing up.
Mo Yufeng let the groom go. He was also innocent. "Junior sister, let Miss Meng ride with you."
"Why?" Ye Ling was very unhappy: "I saved the person, and I am responsible for bringing him back?"
"We only have three horses. I can't take her with me, right? Susu will kill me. If you don't want to, let Jiuyou take her with you," said Mo Yufeng.
"Impossible," Jiuyou said firmly.
Meng Jing didn't know whether she was cold or scared, she still held her arms with both hands, shivering as she looked at the three people who were unwilling to take her with them. She felt very helpless, but she didn't shed a tear from beginning to end.
Ye Ling looked at Meng Jing and felt a little sympathy: "Alright, alright, I'll take her here. Let's go back first and talk later."
Meng Jing came to Ye Ling's horse. Ye Ling stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit in the back.
"Follow me, there is a shortcut," Mo Yufeng said as he led the way.
After passing a small pond, we finally reached the official road.
Along the way, Meng Jing sat quietly in the back, with her arms around Ye Ling's waist.
Mo Yufeng suddenly stopped and looked towards the camp not far away: "Something seems to be wrong."
Jiuyou took a few steps forward: "They are soldiers."
"That's right, the Imperial Guards, the personal guards of the damn emperor," said Ye Ling. She had seen the uniforms of the Imperial Guards when she entered the palace that time, so she remembered them deeply.
"Don't panic, it's okay," Mo Yufeng comforted Ye Ling. "If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. If things don't work out, we still have Master and Langya Pavilion. Get off your horse first, go around that way, and get a closer look before you can say anything."
"Is Susu okay?" The first person Meng Jing thought of was the person she had always disliked.
"Youminglang is here. I believe he will at least ensure everyone's safety before we go back. Let's get closer and take a closer look." Mo Yufeng also trusts Youminglang very much.
"You believe him, but I don't dare to believe him," Ye Ling said as he walked.
"That's because you don't understand men. You usually don't see him express his opinions much, but when we are not around, as a man, he has to take responsibility for his own face."
How much is face worth?
"Some people think it's worthless, while others think it's worth a fortune. Youminglang is different from us. He's a face-conscious person, unlike you, who's two-faced."
"You are the one who is so shameless"
While the two of them were walking and bickering, Youminglang was sitting on a stool under the large awning in the camp, yawning leisurely.
On the other side of the table sat a man in his forties, dressed in purple eunuch attire with a python pattern embroidered on the chest. His status was evidently high. He was one of the Emperor's most trusted men, the Grand Eunuch Qiu Zhen, whose position was much higher than that of the Chief Eunuch Kang Hai. While he possessed some martial arts skills, he was a notoriously ruthless character. Behind him stood the eunuch whose eye Ye Ling had blinded the previous day. Blood still seeped from his eye, wrapped in white cloth.
Qiu Zhen glanced at You Ming Lang: "Master You Lou seems very tired?"
"Of course. I played with a group of kids until dawn yesterday and was just catching up on some sleep when you, the eunuch, came. I have to get up and sit here with you. How can I not be tired?" Youminglang changed his usual kind attitude and replied indifferently.
"We don't dare to cause trouble to Master You, so please do as you please," said Qiu Zhen.
"No! I'm a normal man, so I have to do what a man should do. Before Ye Ling comes back, you can't touch anyone here. After she comes back, I'll go to sleep. You can kill or arrest anyone you want, it has nothing to do with me." Youminglang deliberately emphasized the words "normal man", obviously mocking the other party as a eunuch.
Qiu Zhen was furious, but on the surface he had to pretend nothing had happened: "Master Youlou, you are joking. The people here are all from the martial arts world. We dare not kill any of them. We are only here to pick up the princess."
"Princess? You mean Ye Ling?" You Ming Lang feigned confusion. "Didn't you hire Falcon Prison to kill her? The story has spread all over the martial arts world, so why are you still picking her up? Bringing her back and locking her up so she can be killed? Is that what you mean?"
"How can rumors be believed?"
"That's right. After all, he is the king of a country. Such despicable means are only done by snakes, insects, rats and ants. His identity is not suitable for it," Youminglang said with a smile.
The flesh on Qiu Zhen's face trembled slightly. It was clear how angry he was, but he couldn't react. "Hasn't the Lord of Youlou always claimed to be aloof and never involved in such things?"
"Hey, eunuch, you are wrong. I just don't like the twists and turns and intrigues of officials. As for the underworld, I still have to move around. After all, I have to make a living! Unlike you, eunuch, who has people feeding me," Youminglang said again.
Qiu Zhen was still angry but dared not speak, because You Ming Lang's cruelty was known to everyone. If he were in the capital, he could walk around with impunity, but in this desolate mountain area, he might be tricked by this madman, so he still forced himself to hold back: "Master You is really getting better at joking."
"Haha...that's true. I've been spending so much time with normal people recently that I feel like I'm almost an adult," Youminglang said with a smile.
"Hehe..." Qiu Zhen also laughed: "What are you saying? Could it be that Master Youlou was not a human before?"
"Of course," Youminglang admitted straightforwardly, "I used to be a ghost, an evil ghost that specialized in eating people."
"Master Youlou, you can't say that. Cannibalism is against the law."
"Breaking the law? Haha... Eunuch, eunuch, isn't this a world where people eat each other? Why do you have to say one thing in public and another behind the scenes? That's what the underground rats do. You and I must never learn from them." Youminglang laughed loudly.
Qiu Zhen's face turned ashen and he clenched his fists.
Rui Bao suddenly spoke up, "Master Youlou, should we have Langya Pavilion send a signal to call them back? It doesn't matter whether Meng Jing is dead or alive. She's just an insignificant woman. Is it necessary for three people to chase her?"
You Ming Lang glared at him: "What did you say?"
Qiu Zhen said, "We think what this kid said is quite right."
"What does a thing that hasn't even grown all its hair know? Now even the eunuchs are listening to a little dog?" You Ming Lang was obviously angry. After a brief pause, he continued, "Integrity is the most important thing in Langya Pavilion. If the dart is lost, it means death. Envoy Mo and Envoy Ye both recovered it. Ruibao, it seems that Mu Xia hasn't even taught you the most basic principles of being a human being. Judging from your moral character, you are still very ruthless at such a young age."
"You...why are you swearing at me?" Ruibao was very angry.
Youming's lips curled slightly: "Swearing? If it weren't for Mo Yufeng's sake, you would have been fed to the dogs long ago."
Qiu Zhen spoke slowly, "Langya Pavilion can actually throw darts? This is truly a huge joke."
"There are dogs everywhere in this world. It's not uncommon for a few of them to occasionally run out and bite someone. How can you say that's a joke?"
"Master Youlou is intentionally protecting Langya Pavilion? I never thought that the solitary Guiren Pavilion would also curry favor with others." Qiu Zhen felt that he had finally won a round.
You Ming Lang was not at all panicked: "It's not about currying favor, and as for protecting him, that's even more out of the question. This little thing is nothing compared to the prince colluding with the ministers to forge an imperial edict and kill a loyal official. I wonder if Ye Tingzhan will regret his unjust death. He shed blood and sweat for the Nangong family and supported them to ascend to power, but in the end he died in an unclear manner, and his daughter was hunted by heartless people. Eunuch, do you think there is retribution in this world?"
Qiu Zhen was once again humiliated and choked harshly: "Master Youlou, you just say such things. Aren't you afraid of rebelling against the emperor?"
"Now that this matter is known to the whole world, does the eunuch intend to kill everyone in the world to silence them? He dares to do anything, but is afraid of people knowing. Is this your prince? The future crown prince of Cang Yue Kingdom? Does the eunuch want to take me away today as well? With the Nangong family sitting on the throne, it seems that no one is allowed to tell the truth?" You Minglang's speech was still slow, but every word made sense.
"Your Majesty has his own decision on this matter. It is not your turn to dictate."
"I really don't dare to point fingers, but people have to be allowed to speak, right? Can Eunuch Qiu really shut up the mouths of the whole world?" Youminglang is a lone commander with no relatives or friends, so he is not afraid of anyone at all. The worst that can happen is death.
"You said I can do it, but you are not allowed to bring my master with me," Ruibao said again without knowing the depth of the matter.
"Master? Humph, do you dare to tell your master what you have done in the past two days? See if he will still recognize you as his disciple," said Youminglang.
"Rui Bao" Su Su finally couldn't help but speak: "I have always treated you as a younger brother, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel. Although Miss Meng is not our friend, she is also a life. You look down on women at such a young age. No wonder you think Sister Ling has taken your position as master."
"You...you are not good people," Ruibao said angrily.
"You are not even worthy of being a human being." Youminglang will not tolerate him.
At this moment, the people outside could already see the camp. Jiuyou whispered, "Qiu Zhen, he is Qiu Zhen."
"Who is Qiu Zhen? He looks like a eunuch," Ye Ling asked.
"I've heard of this man. He's a big shot around the emperor, the chief eunuch, respectfully called the Grand Eunuch. He has average martial arts skills, but is cruel and ruthless. He is notorious among the court officials," Mo Yufeng explained.
"Isn't the chief eunuch that Hai?" Ye Ling was puzzled.
"That was a minor character, and this is the real person. The emperor sent him here. It seems that the matter of Uncle Ye is imminent. He wants to take you back and force you to clarify the matter in order to preserve Nangong Xuan's position as the crown prince," Mo Yufeng analyzed.
"This time we've really broken off relations and there's no turning back," Jiuyou was a little worried.
"Roads are made by people, they are not born. Isn't he just a eunuch who has been castrated for a long time? What is there to worry about? Just watch me operate." Ye Ling and Youminglang have similar ideas. After all, she is alone. The worst that can happen is that she can hide in the space and survive.
"Don't be impulsive. See what he says. You are the envoy of Langya Pavilion now. I don't believe they dare to take people away by force," said Mo Yufeng.
"Brother, I'm warning you in advance. If they use force, I won't be polite!"
"Kill them all and throw them into the ravine, and no one will know what will happen to them," Meng Jing said suddenly.
"I quite agree with this statement." Ye Ling felt for the first time that Meng Jing had a hard of hearing.
Mo Yu was furious: "Auntie, you can't just open your eyes and start killing people! Let's stay calm and adapt to the situation."
"Got it, let's go back quickly"
“Go, go, go”
