Chapter 319: Chapter 224
Aside from that?
Mingjian didn’t know what he wanted to ask and cautiously replied, "That sickly person seems to be ill as well."
Saying this, as if realizing something, his eyes lit up and he said fiercely, "Prince, do you mean to strike while he’s ill and take his life?"
Mingjian felt he had grasped his master’s intention, but Lu Ziyuan remained silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Don’t touch him."
He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walking step by step out of the room.
Today was overcast, adding to the somber and solemn atmosphere in the sandstorm-ridden Northern Land.
Though only twenty years old, a youth skilled in martial arts from a young age, Lu Ziyuan now had graying temples and stubble emerging on his face, his whole demeanor appearing disheveled as if he might topple with a slight breeze, yet the murderous intent in his eyes was palpable and intimidating.
He looked straight in the direction of Capital City for a long while, then said lightly, "Spread the word, we’ll return to the Capital in three days."
Death is simple, but the debt owed to her must be repaid in full.
Too many people deserve to die, this time he must kill quickly, not drag it out like in the previous life, enduring for five years.
"Then..." Mingjian hesitated, "What about over by Dayang Lake..."
"Keep fishing," Lu Ziyuan closed his eyes briefly, "Have people keep a close watch on every move of that sickly person."
After speaking, he turned and returned to the room.
Mingjian saw the door close and hurriedly instructed the servants to prepare easily digestible meals.
Their prince had been unconscious for three days, without a single grain of rice.
"Hey!" After everything was arranged, Mingjian nudged the person beside him, puzzled, "Why do you think the prince won’t kill that sickly person?"
It was because of that sickly person that Miss Xie decided to escape. In truth, that person was also the culprit behind her death.
Ming Feng was also looking somewhat haggard. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "If the sickly person dies, wouldn’t that just fulfill their wishes."
Mingjian: "..."
His pupils slowly enlarged, clearly not expecting this reasoning.
But then he thought, given their master’s level of madness, he might indeed think that whoever goes down first to accompany Miss Xie gains a massive advantage.
Those two soaring in the sky, leaving their master alone in the world, desolate and lonely...
Indeed, it’s not quite right.
Mingjian nodded in agreement, "Can’t kill, indeed can’t kill."
Ming Feng couldn’t be bothered with him and walked away quickly.
"Hey!" Mingjian shouted after him in dissatisfaction, "Who would have thought, you understand the master so well."
Ming Feng didn’t even turn his head.
......
Bianzhou City.
Thanks to Lu Ziyuan, a couple of years ago, it was a place rampant with bandits and where commoners lived in constant fear of being abducted, where stepping out required utmost caution, but since his visit, law and order had improved to rank among the top in the dynasty.
Xie Wanqing had been here alone for several days. Initially, she was like a startled bird, wrapping herself tightly to avoid attracting attention.
Later she found that although the place’s security was not yet to the point of not needing to lock doors or pick up lost items, it was indeed common to see lone women on the street, no malicious gazes followed them, nor did any thugs come up to bully a solitary woman.
Moreover, the Southern lands were indeed more prosperous, and the Great Khan had a more open atmosphere. There were quite a few unmarried young women walking on the streets, none intentionally dressed as simply as women from the Northern Land; they wore varicolored silk skirts, their figures graceful, allowing Xie Wanqing to genuinely experience the saying that Jiangnan is full of beauties.
