CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE-Chapter 647 - 647 Where Is This?
647 Where Is This?
The sun was shining softly.
The light hit Bai Ying’s pair of light brown eyes with curled eyelashes and large eyelids. He raised one hand to block the light from hitting his eyes directly which make his vision dazzling. Slowly, his vision began to clear, his ears also start to catch the sound around him more clearly. Birds chirp, down to the horse’s hooves. Lots of them.
Bai Ying immediately got up from whatever position he was in. Where is this? He was lying on a large rock in the middle of the valley, not far under a tree which was quite shady even though the light still managed to penetrate it.
“Ah” 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ
Where is he? What happened? As soon as he chose the red door suddenly a bright light covered his vision, and after that, he was there, where was Bai Guang?
“Mr Bai? Er, brother Bai?” he cried looking around.
Bai Ying stepped down from the rock just as the group of horsemen stopped in front of him. Their faces were foreign, their clothes too, but the flag fluttering on one of the spear warriors with red and gold combination armour was recognizable, that, the ancient Wah Ye crest? Where is he?
A man on horseback at the very front, with a serious face and eyebrows that slanted high like a war general looked at Bai Ying intently, from head to toe.
“Take him!” he exclaimed.
.....
Bai Ying swallowed whole, no one else was there beside him, what did he mean by ‘take him’?
Immediately two men dismounted from their horses and approached Bai Ying to catch him. Bai Ying opened his palms, pushing the wind out of his palms and knocking them down easily.
“Ah!”
He managed to escape but came again the other two other with scary faces and long-drawn swords charged forward to attack him.
“Who are you?”
Bai Ying tried to fight back, for some reason the wind that he released from his palm was not as strong as usual, he even almost fell while trying to dodge the two soldiers who were threatening him with swords.
“Come on in!”
Bai Ying resisted, one of the warriors waved his sword and managed to slash his arm.
“Ah!”
Bai Ying’s eyes widened as he watched his own blood fly into the air, only to feel excruciating pain when the sharp part of the blade made a long enough scratch on his upper arm.
Bai Ying retreated, he had to protect himself, but, why wouldn’t his protective light come out? What happened to him?
“Your Highness, if you want to make time in the outside world stop, you must leave your power here, remember, you are only a human inside, and when you get injured or even lose your life, that means you will also lose your life at the outside world,” said Bai Guang.
Bai Ying widened his eyes.
He dodged when the two soldiers attacked him again and tried to catch him.
“Let me go!”
Overwhelmed by his limited strength, Bai Ying finally ran. This was crazy, he didn’t even know where he was going and there were already dozens of soldiers chasing him, what did they want?
“chase him!” shouted the commander.
With the remaining internal energy, Bai Ying jumps from one tree to another avoiding the pursuit of people who are very intent on catching him. What has he done? They didn’t even stop to listen to his explanation.
“What did I do wrong? Why are you guys after me? Ah!” blood wouldn’t stop flowing from his arm. He could bleed to death if he didn’t stop and tie up his wounds. Bai Ying ran until there was no more path left for him in front of him, they were at the edge of a high cliff, this place look like Pai Hua valley but different, he didn’t remember there was a cliff with a big river in that valley, where was he now?
Bai Ying stopped running, he gasped, there was nowhere for him to run, his only options were to jump or be captured alive.
The commander at the forefront smirked, he reined in his horse to stop it from advancing closer to Bai Ying who was already at the edge of the cliff.
“Hehe pretty boy, you have no other choice, how about you come with us now? We won’t hurt you, believe me.”
Bai Ying swallowed his saliva whole, looking behind him where a great deep river stretched out. Then at the man who was looking at him with flashing eyes as if he was his lunch.
“W-what do you really want, at least, if I die I want to know the reason,” asked Bai Ying, his feet were right on the edge and could fall down if he wasn’t careful.
The commander smiled. Bai Ying looked at himself and realized that he was currently wearing a very ordinary outfit, unlike what he had always been wearing, a commoner’s outfit with light brown and white colours and a torn hair tie flowing with his very long hair.
“Young man, don’t you know that currently, the palace has issued a new rule, which prohibits all underage boys from being outside the house? Moreover, a young boy as beautiful as this, oh General Fu will definitely like you very much.”
Bai Ying retreated, even though he knew he couldn’t retreat any further since he might fall from a great height, should he just go with this person? From the man’s armour, he looks like come from Wah Ye, although, he had never seen the Wah Ye tribe’s flag emblem that he and his soldiers wore. Were they one of the tribes that opposed Xin Hua’s palace?
No, looks like they weren’t, from their clothes and the flag fluttering at the end of one of the soldiers’ pillars, it seemed they were from the ancient Wah Ye, had he returned to the past? That right, he may return to the past.
“Does, your King, His Highness the Great King Yen Hui?” he asked.
Hearing his words, the commander pursed his lips, looking at Bai Ying with sharp eyes.
“Insolent! What do you mean by His Highness the Great King Yen Hui? That stinky kid can’t be king, he’s just the son of a concubine who at least attracts the attention of our High King, our Prince Fang Li will become King in the future, how dare you talk like that?” the commander was furious with wide eyes looking at Bai Ying.
Bai Ying swallowed whole, does he come back, before the era of the Great King of Yen Hui?
Bai Ying backtracked, if his not mistaken, according to his grandmother’s stories, the era before the Great King Yen Hui was a time of chaos where all minors were used as sex slaves to fulfil the desires of the palace’s higher-ups. Because the young man’s face who was born was much prettier than a woman’s in general, even the entire royal family in the neighbouring countries closed the agreement with a gift in the form of a young man from Wah Ye. This means he might end up in the tiger’s lair if he gets caught.
“You guys aren’t kidding are you?” he kept backing away until the pebbles fell down a high ravine into a river that seemed quite deep.
“Oh, why did it have to come to this era? This shouldn’t have happened.”
The Commander licked his lips. Bai Ying’s face remained the same as his all along. Big round eyes with curled eyelashes, and a sharp and slender nose. Red lips chapped like plums with smooth white skin without the slightest blemish. His long, straight hair down to the back of his waist fluttered far with the cliff wind that could even push him down into the abyss at any moment.
“Come on sweetie, just come with us, in the future, you will become one of the favoured concubines of the Great King Fang Li, he really likes this kind of thing, this is my first time seeing him, you’re so beautiful, where did you come from?” 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
Bai Ying stepped back. The wound on his left arm continued to throb painfully, the blood had not even stopped flowing and made his lower clothes wet. There was too much blood that even dripped down on the dry rocky ground with dust that was blown by the wind far away. He had to find King Yen Hui, no, if he wasn’t the current King then he was Prince Yen Hui. Why did he come to a time before his great-grandfather became King? What does he really want to know?
“Don’t come any closer, I’ll jump from here”
“You don’t want to jump young man, the abyss is very deep, and you may not be able to escape alive when you jump into it, the current will make you drown, so, instead of dying silly like that, it’s better to just come with us back to the palace. Come on sweetie.”
The commander waved his hand to go forward and catch him, but Bai Ying keep walking backwards until he probably had no other choice but to jump.
And, finally, he did it. He is the King of Realm, even in this world, he can’t die easily, right?
