Heyi trembled in fear and stayed awake all night. She finally understood what kind of husband her father had found for her. That man's eyes were turbid and terrifying, like those of a demon. Now, she was no longer the innocent little princess.
Only Song Jinyu could save her. Otherwise, if she married that man, it would be better to kill her directly.
"Heyi? Heyi?" A familiar voice sounded. Heyi turned around and suddenly burst into tears. "Jinyu... I'm scared!"
Song Jinyu patted her on the back. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I'm here..."
"Are you ready? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Later, after luring those people, run towards the outside of the city."
Cheng Song asked, "With the city defense in the capital, how can we get past it?"
Micu was a bit incredulous. The young lady was actually going to use herself and the princess as bait. Should she tell the prince?
As if seeing through her thoughts, Song Jinyu called Micu over. "When we're chased outside the city, tell Prince Yu and Prince Zhongzhou." Yes! She must make this matter a big deal, so big that no one would dare to cover it up.
Afraid that Micu might mess things up, she specifically warned, "I hate traitors the most!"
Song Jinyu looked at the few people, calmed herself down, and said, "The city defense in the capital has a changing - of - guard time. We'll just run out during that time."
Then, she told them exactly when and where the changing - of - guard would take place. Micu was so frightened that she was trembling. How did the future princess - consort know so much about the city defense of the capital?
To reassure Heyi, she smilingly took the princess's hand. "I'm going to elope with the little princess to avoid her wedding..."
This made Heyi laugh, and she gradually relaxed.
Just as Song Jinyu had thought, Gong Linghai did lead people to look for the two of them everywhere. Someone spotted their figures, and Gong Linghai even went to arrest them personally. Even more unexpectedly, he brought all his bodyguards with him. Song Jinyu desperately pulled Heyi and ran. To make the act more realistic, they neither rode horses nor took carriages.
They just ran around on the outskirts of the capital on foot. Sure enough, the map didn't deceive her!
Ha...
Song Jinyu and the others actually managed to run out of the city. At the same time, Gong Linghai led dozens of people in pursuit!
Just as they ran out, she gave Micu a look. Micu smiled bitterly and had no choice but to turn around and look for Prince Yu and Prince Zhongzhou.
Prince Yu happened to be in Prince Zhongzhou's mansion, discussing matters with Ming Ruyi. When he heard the news, his face instantly turned cold. He glared fiercely at Micu. "Where are they now???" As expected, she didn't take his words to heart.
Micu was so frightened that her voice trembled. "The young lady took Princess Heyi and ran towards the desolate mountain outside the city. She said, she said, for you to inform the palace that..."
"Say that the prince of the Wo Kingdom in the South Sea attempted to kidnap Princess Heyi!"
This audacious woman! Ming Ruyi was so shocked that her fan fell to the ground.
"Uncle, you should go into the palace!"
Zhongli Mingye wanted to personally lead people to arrest them. Ming Ruyi was not convinced. Why should it be him going into the palace?
"Take people and dig out the corpses buried by that prince..."
He had guessed that Song Jinyu would help Heyi, but he didn't expect that she would play such a big game right under his nose. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had indulged her too much.
Heyi was of noble birth and couldn't run for long before she was out of breath.
Song Jinyu became anxious. "If you don't run, you'll have to marry that pervert!" As soon as she said this, it stirred up Heyi's emotions, but her physical strength was really exhausted. Cheng Song couldn't bear to see the little princess so exhausted. "Please don't blame me, princess. Please get on my back."
Heyi looked at Cheng Song in surprise. He was Song Jinyu's bodyguard. Without caring about the gender taboo, she jumped onto Cheng Song's back, and the group continued to run forward.
Half an hour later, they reached the desolate mountain and were really too tired to run anymore.
"Beautiful ladies, don't run anymore!"
Gong Linghai sent people to surround Song Jinyu and the others. Heyi was so scared that she hid on Cheng Song's back and buried her face.
"I'm the prince of the Wo Kingdom, here for a marriage alliance with the Xia Dynasty! I've been smitten with you two since the first time I saw you." Gong Linghai swallowed his saliva, and his slanting eyes seemed to want to devour them.
"Follow me, and you'll enjoy the best of everything!"
Cheng Song slowly put the princess down, immediately drew his sword, and shouted sternly, "Don't be rude!" Heyi glanced at him and suddenly felt that Cheng Song was a thousand times better than this prince.
Song Jinyu opened her folding fan and waved it. She laughed. "A noble prince acting so despicably?"
Hearing Zhong Yuanliu's whistle, she felt more at ease. "Do you know who you've been chasing today?"
Gong Linghai leered and said with a sly smile, "I don't care who you are. I'll take you all away!"
"Once in bed, I'll surely make you know my goodness..." His disgusting tone made Heyi start to sob.
After saying that, he reached out his hand towards Heyi.
As soon as he said such improper words, Cheng Song immediately took action and cut off Gong Linghai's finger. The pain made him roll on the ground. Song Jinyu comforted Heyi.
Cheng Song fought with Gong Linghai's subordinates noisily. Niaoniao also drew out her soft sword and joined the fight to relieve Cheng Song's pressure.
Song Jinyu said helplessly, "Zhong Yuanliu, are you going to watch me make a fool of myself?"
When Zhong Yuanliu appeared, the situation immediately turned around. Gong Linghai was holding two bloody fingers and shouting, "Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, you're so bold! I'll make you pay!"
Hearing his arrogance, Song Jinyu laughed helplessly. "Do you still have a chance?"
Zhongli Mingye rode his horse and led his guards to the desolate mountain. He immediately saw that audacious woman smiling brightly.
Gong Linghai was overjoyed. "Prince Yu, you've come just in time!"
"These hooligans attempted to harm me..."
The so - called "hooligans" he pointed at looked at him with the expression of "you're doomed". Song Jinyu gave Zhong Yuanliu a look, telling them to retreat quickly.
Zhongli Mingye sat on his horse and asked calmly, "Oh? Really?"
"I wonder what crime Prince Gong should be punished for attempting to kidnap the princess?" His voice was filled with killing intent, and his eyes seemed to be stained with it.
Gong Linghai was stunned. "Prin... princess! Who?" His lewd eyes looked at Heyi. "Is it her?"
Heyi was so scared that she hid behind Song Jinyu again. Cheng Song took his sword and cut off the remaining fingers on Gong Linghai's hand.
"Ah!!!" Immediately, the prince of the Wo Kingdom howled without any grace and rolled on the ground.
