486 On The Run

“Em, what is your purpose going to Chang San? It’s quite far from here, more than ten days if by horse carriage, if you can ride horses it will be even faster, at least five days of travelling by a high-speed horse without stopping.”

Bai Ying looked at the young man for a moment, he frowned realizing that he actually didn’t know the young man so he had to tell him anything, but, he had agreed to be his bodyguard and didn’t seem like a bad person either, his face is too handsome to be a thug.

“Back to my house, Ying’s house is in Chang San, last month, Father forced Ying to marry that hideous person, and somehow that person brought Ying this far, heh, no matter what, Ying didn’t want to die silly in the palace because of several assaults against the Crown Prince...eeh” Bai Ying stopped his words, if that person found out he was running away from the all-powerful Crown Prince of Yue Yang, he could have retreated out of fear.

“Eh I-I mean, that young master, hehe”

The man was still enjoying his meal leisurely.

“Heh, how strange, how old are you? You look so young, isn’t Yue Yang’s rule very clear that youth under the age of eighteen are not allowed to marry? While travelling around Yue Yang, I heard that all the people respect the rules very much, does that person want to be punished by the Emperor?” asked the young man.

Yan widened her eyes, while chewing her food he looked at Bai Ying.

Bai Ying scratched his head. He understood what Yan’s glance meant. It means that probably he talks too much about his personal affairs with the stranger.

“Eh, y-yah, that kind of, eh, oh yeah, I’m Ying’er, and this is sister Yan who always helps Ying all the time, may I know, what this young master’s name is?” asked Bai Ying changing the subject.

.....

The young man lowered his chopsticks, politely clenching his two hands in front of his chest.

“Oh, I’m Lo Yi, from the east, from the country of Dai Yang, this year I’m twenty-four years old which means I’m older than you, instead of calling me young master, Master Ying can call me Brother Yi”

Bai Ying smiled broadly, the young man seemed quite friendly, let’s say that he was lucky to meet good people on his journey this time.

“hehe, of course, Brother Yi”

....

Night’s getting late.

From a distance, the sound of night birds chimed in, punctuated by the howling of a night wolf. In the valley outside the city of Sui Lian, the city has fallen asleep with all its inhabitants lulled by the cold to warm air that blows the beautiful and charming city filled with buildings that even though it is night still turn on incandescent lamps to light the way.

Seen several patrol officers back and forth,

“Tung! Tung!” sound of gong on the man’s hand.

“Damp night, a bit hot and strong wind, please pay attention to all the fires in the house!” cried the patrol officer who passed the path in front of the small inn of the White Flower.

Yan was seen sitting on Bai Ying’s bed edge, properly covering the blanket, before slowly getting up from her seat.

On the balcony of the second-floor room where Lo Yi had rented, because there was only one room left in the small inn, Lo Yi volunteered himself to sleep on the floor on the terrace while Bai Ying and his maids were inside. There was the sound of approaching footsteps.

Lo Yi turned his head slowly, surprised to see Yan who had lowered her body kneeling behind him.

“Miss Yan, what are you doing?” asked Lo Yi trying to help the little girl get up.

Yan saw Lo Yi’s face with a pair of teary eyes, she was crying.

“I beg you, young master, help my young master back to Pai Hua, Her Majesty. Yan means, the old grandmother must be very worried about the young master’s whereabouts now, my Young Master is unwell now, he was confused and ran away from home, ems, servant, don’t know what else can I do because I can’t tell Young Master about the truth.”

Lo Yi helped Yan up, seeing the maid who spoke in a very small voice as if she didn’t want her young master to hear it. He looked at the bed where the young man was already fast asleep.

“B-but, didn’t your young master say he would meet his father in Chang San? What, his father wasn’t really there?”

Yan wiped her tears, she was helpless until her body trembled with sobs.

“Huks, H-His Majesty’s father, his entire family in Chang San, has left him, I can’t help but tell him this, I beg young master, please help me to bring His Majesty back to Pai Hua, Grandmother must have been very worried to sick, Yan begs you.”

Lo Yi swallowed hard. He didn’t understand what was happening and didn’t know who he should believe, but the little girl in front of him looked very sad and worried. He held his breath for a long time, what should he do?

“Please forgive me, miss, but, if your young master doesn’t want to go home, then we can’t do anything to force him, that’s called forcing his will, let’s get up first” the young man helped Yan up from the floor.

Yan lifted her head, wiping the tears that had already fallen down her cheeks.

“B-but, His Majesty, not in a good condition now, he doesn’t know what he is doing, if, His Majesty, the Crown Prince...” Yan stopped her speech, the man in front of her looked not like a Yue Yang citizen, his hair and manner of dress showed he was a stranger, and he introduced himself from Dai Yang country, where ever that country is, he could be quite dangerous, she had to be more careful with her words

“What is it Miss Yan?” asked Lo Yi.

Yan stutters.

“Eh, I mean, there are a lot of people worry about Young Master at home, all of them are currently trying to find him, this will be a very big problem.”

Lo Yi looked at Yan who looked a little nervous, even though he didn’t know the two, he was sure that her young master wasn’t just a young master from an ordinary rich family. That was probably why the young maid was hiding something from him, it was so obvious.

“What’s your plan? One is unwell, while the other one is a weak girl who can’t defend herself at all, leaving the house to Chang San which is very far from here, you guys must have had a plan before leaving the house right?”

Yan squeezed her hand, that’s right before they did have a plan.

Bai Ying had the idea of ??joining a group of merchants who would head to the capital to peddle their goods there, the merchant group had hired personal guards to ensure their journey was safe while on the road, and Bai Ying had prepared a lot of money to be able to join them, but at the very last time, the merchants postponed their departure for a few more days because their orders had not yet been finished. As a result, the two of them had to walk from Pai Hua while occasionally joining a group of merchants who would go to Sui Lian city and its surroundings, then they would keep looking for other traders and join them until they finally arrived at Chang San, that was their original plan.

Lo Yi was about to ask again when he heard a commotion on the road in front of the inn.

“Have you guys searched around the inn?”

The voices of several men dressed as personal bodyguards. Yan felt she recognized the voice, she was about to leave but Lo Yi pushed him into the room and closed the balcony door.

Yan stuttered, it was probably the men from Xin Hua palace who had come looking for Bai Ying all the way here. She wanted to talk but the young man who seemed to be covering himself was preventing her from coming out.

“Eh Young master, that, maybe from my master’s family”

Lo Yi’s hand restrained Yan from approaching the door,

“No miss, it’s like there are guards from the government, stay here I’ll see who they are”

“B-but young master, guard from the government, shouldn’t be a bad person right?” Yan asked.

Lo Yi turned his head and looked at Yan for a moment, his eyes widened as if he was thinking about something quite heavy in his head. He kept his arms outstretched to block Yan from advancing until the voices disappeared.

“Ouch, they’re gone”

Yan rushed to the terrace door, and ran towards the bedroom door to get out, but, she stopped in her tracks, no, she couldn’t leave His Highness alone there with that stranger, what if he do something unpleasant to him? The girl then back in front of Lo Yi.
