CHAPTER 18 : CAUGHT WET.
Starting from today, the Chunshi residence began to undergo major changes after Bai Xue Jian's arrival. The residence that was originally shabby and unkempt, is now starting to be diligently cleaned. In fact, some improvements were made and several new pavilions were built to fill the residence that was still lacking for the residence.
Helian Qi's room was also rebuilt, enlarged again so that Prince Xuan could play more freely. Opposite his room, another room was also built for Bai Xue Jian.
Bai Xue Jian didn't want to live in the same room with her husband. So she built another adjoining room, so that in case of danger she could immediately protect her husband's Prince Xuan.
Several days had already started to pass, there were no more servants who disrespected Helian Qi. They were all obedient and subservient to Prince Xuan despite being stupid. It was all done solely for the safety of one's own life. Afraid that Bai Xue Jian would behead them like the previous maid.
Helian Qi's room.
"Prince, Emperor Hui is healthy not because of the medicine from the healer Fan Bai, but rather being treated by General Xue."
Inside, the shadow guard Helian Qi was reporting all the events outside to his master.
He had not come to report for several days because since Bai Xue Jian's arrival the Chunshi residence was very tightly guarded. If he made the slightest mistake, Feng Yun would definitely be caught by Bai Xue Jian and Helian Qi's disguise as a stupid Prince would definitely be exposed as well.
"I already guessed."
"Alright, these few days it's best to be quiet and not act. I want to see what Bai Xue Jian will do next?!"
Whew...
After hearing that his master did not give any orders, Feng Yun immediately left the room at lightning speed.
***
After exiting his master's room, Feng Yun wanted to leave the Chunshi residence by air. He crept up on the roof while monitoring the tight security in this residence.
"Ever since General Xue, I really can't go in and out freely," Feng Yun grumbled in his heart.
This man's body is now bent parallel to one side of the roof of the building. Before his eyes, was the exit gate of this Chunshi residence. Just using the body lightening technique, he could fly through the air and pass through.
But the problem is that the security there is so tight. If he was careless, he would definitely be caught by the guards that General Xue brought.
Feng Yun did not lose his mind. He took the initiative to catch the guards off guard by interrupting their guard.
A stone he threw at the end of the bush.
Srek happy...
"Who is there?!"
"Quick check!"
Sure enough, Feng Yun's way of doing things really disturbed the guard at the gate. Several guards checked the place where the voice had appeared.
The guard at the gate was deserted. This was the best chance for Feng Yun to jump out of the Chunshi residence.
The man began to fly in the air using a lightening martial technique. Soundless and dressed all in black, in this dark night no one noticed his existence floating in the air.
Wow...
Jleb!
It was only a few more steps but suddenly an arrow shot through the air and hit Feng Yun's right leg.
The man who used the body lightening technique became unbalanced in midair. His leg was pierced by an arrow that came from nowhere.
Feng Yun ended up falling in the middle of the courtyard of the Chunshi residence. He started to groan in pain as he felt the blood flowing from his right leg that was hit by the arrow.
No no no...
Suddenly a group of armed soldiers started to make a circle around Feng Yun who was in the center of the hall courtyard. The soldiers pointed their swords and glared at Feng Yun.
Feng Yun who felt himself surrounded, withdrew the arrow stuck in his leg and started to rise to his feet. He also didn't forget to take out the sharp sword in his left hand, performing self-defense.
"Stop!"
Suddenly there was a woman's voice that sounded heavy and firm. The guards who had made a circle now gave way for the woman to be in the middle.
"General Xue?!"
Feng Yun looked panicked as well as nervous when he saw a woman with a pair of blue jade eyes getting closer to where he was standing.
The man who covered half of his face with a mask even though he had been very careful not to be caught by the tight security at the Chunshi residence. But still he failed and was finally captured directly by General Xue.
"Who are you?!" asked Bai Xue Jian.
The woman glared at Feng Yun while holding a bow in her left hand. It seemed that the one who shot right into Feng Yun's leg was none other than Bai Xue Jian herself.
It means that it is certain that Bai Xue Jian has known the figure of this mysterious man and finally caught the man himself.
His aim was so precise that it made Feng Yun lose his balance and fall. Bai Xue Jian was now curious about the identity of the mysterious man and now began to interrogate him.
"What were you doing in Prince Xuan's room just now?!" he asked again, his voice growing louder.
Without thinking, Feng Yun immediately knelt before Bai Xue Jian as he plunged his sharp sword into the ground.
"I am Feng Yun. I am a shadow warrior who specializes in guarding Prince Xuan," Feng Yun replied as he clenched his fists in front of him in salute.
"Shadow soldier?" Bai Xue Jian looked still doubtful about Feng Yun's proposed answer. This mysterious man he caught still hadn't completely made Bai Xue Jian believe in him.
"That's right. If the general wants to ask something else, can we talk elsewhere? I don't want the identity of the shadow warrior Prince Xuan to be exposed," asked Feng Yun.
Bai Xue Jian still looked doubtful. He was silent for a moment before finally allowing the shadow soldier what he asked.
