Eunuch Cao said, “Hero Sun, are you talking about Ye Jingtang? This child’s talent is unprecedented, and he seems to have a close relationship with the eldest princess. It’s not a problem for him to be a guard, but… the last time I saw him, I felt that he looked familiar.”
“Oh?” Sun Wuji stroked his beard and was slightly puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Eunuch Cao recalled carefully. “Back then, when Great Yan was destroyed, my master stopped Hero Sun and others outside the Hall of the Supreme Principle to buy time for the last Yan emperor to escape. The Jianghu thieves from all over the world took advantage of the chaos to break into the harem and snatch the Roaring Dragon Chart.
“At the time, 1 was standing on the top of the city gate. 1 saw a Northern Liang spearman with inhuman combat strength. He defeated Kuang Yazi with three attacks and forced Kuang Yazi to give up fighting to escape… Although he was wearing a mask and I couldn’t see his face, Ye Jingtang gave me the same feeling as that person. The qi in his meridians was so smooth that he was always half a step faster than others. His muscles and bones were so coordinated that there was no flaw. He didn’t seem to be born with it, but he was more like a sword forged with the strength of an entire country…”
Sun Wuji had fought with Ye Jingtang. In fact, he felt that Ye Jingtang’s foundation was a little exaggerated. Regardless of whether he was born with this foundation or acquired it, it was impossible to achieve this level of flawlessness. He thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t participate in the fight back then, but I’ve never seen this person. Do you suspect that Ye Jingtang is from Northern Liang?”
Eunuch Cao shook his head. “He can already be alone with the eldest princess, and his determination to protect her with his life can’t be faked. If he’s someone sent by Northern Liang, what can Northern Liang want? I just couldn’t figure it out, so 1 asked you, Hero Sun. Since you don’t have any impression, we can only wait and see…”
Meanwhile, at Clear Water Villa…
It was noon, and Dongfang Liren was standing on a viewing platform facing the Clear River. There was a painting table in front of her with a landscape painting on it.
A maidservant was holding the python robe and waiting behind. She reminded in a low voice, “Your Highness, Her Majesty will be moving to Clear Water Villa tomorrow. Shouldn’t Your Highness return to the palace to receive Her Majesty…”
“Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“Oh…” The maid shrank her neck when she heard this.
The viewing platform offered a bird’s-eye view around Clear Water Villa. There were imperial guards patrolling and standing guard everywhere at the foot of the mountain, and by the river in the rusting autumn wind, there was a figure the size of a grain of rice.
The figure was wearing a black robe and holding a sword in his hand. He was slowly practicing by the river while the bird was lying on the grass and basking in the sun. Occasionally, constables from the Black Office would run over to him to make routine reports. After speaking, they would leave.
In the blink of an eye, it had been two days since she came to Clear Water Villa. Ever since the lustful and bold Ye Jingtang had forcefully kissed her the night before yesterday, Dongfang Liren had never shown her face again. She had been thinking about what to do.
In the past, Ye Jingtang had also kissed and touched her, but on the surface, he at least had excuses. It had been an accident or drugs, and he had had no choice but to offend her. If she criticized him, he would admit his mistake.
Last time and the time before last time, they were both blatant. If she didn’t fuss about it once and didn’t punish Ye Jingtang twice, wouldn’t she become his lover?
A dignified prince of the blood had been wooed by her subordinate. If the people of the Black Office knew, where would her dignity as their boss be?
Later, she would have to return to the palace to pick up the empress dowager and the empress to go to Clear Water Villa for a vacation. Ye Jingtang was her personal guard, so he definitely had to follow her. If she didn’t have a good chat with him about this matter, this pervert might even think that she accepted his impertinence…
Thinking of this, Dongfang Liren put down her brush and changed into a silver python robe. She once again exuded her majestic aura that could not be offended and led the maidservant downstairs…
By the river, Ye Jingtang was practicing various martial arts. Over the past two days, other than patrolling, he had been practicing martial arts by the river. Although he really wanted to go back to accompany his wives, Dumdum was in charge of testing the accommodation and didn’t leave, so he naturally couldn’t leave.
Although Dumdum had ignored him since the day before yesterday after he saw her plump and soft line to heaven that he shouldn’t have seen, she still kept her word. She had specially sent someone to Jasper Pavilion to get him a few secret manuals.
The manuals were all outer sect moves of the major sects in Jianghu. They were very comprehensive and could be practiced from beginning to end. However, the ultimate moves, which were the strongest, were usually not taught to outsiders. The effect of these secret manuals was far greater than that of actual combat, so there was no need to go into detail.
After practicing for an unknown period of time, a maidservant came to report that the Prince of Jing was preparing to return to the palace. Ye Jingtang put away his weapon, picked up the sleeping little bird, and went to get the carriage.
Clomp, clomp!
The luxurious carriage quickly stopped at the entrance of the villa at the end of the white stone path.
Not long after Ye Jingtang waited in front of the door, he saw Dongfang Liren, who was wearing a python robe, walk out from behind the screen wall with her attendants. She was unsmiling and looked straight ahead. When they brushed past each other, she said indifferently, “Ye Jingtang, come in.”
Hearing this, Ye Jingtang handed the sleeping bird to an accompanying maidservant and boarded the carriage.
Dongfang Liren sat down on a soft couch covered in golden satin. Her back was straight, and her aura was very dignified. She was full of the aura of a superior. “Have a seat.”
After Ye Jingtang glanced at her, he sat down beside her.. “Is something wrong?”
