Chapter 32: The Prince
Before Luo Xu could run away after getting the Huiluo Sword, he heard two "swoosh" sounds and two arrows shot into his left and right arms from behind. After his arms were hit by arrows, his hands became weak and the Huiluo Sword slipped from his hands.
Luo Xu wanted to fire the Qinghu Dart, but he couldn't because of his injured arms. He suddenly regretted that he had excitedly gone to grab the Huiluo Sword without thinking when he saw it. If he had known this, he should have fired the Qinghu Dart first. But now it was too late to say anything, so he had to run forward immediately. However, the injury on his leg had not healed yet, so he could not run fast and was soon surrounded by the soldiers.
"Tell me, what do you want this Huiluo sword for?" Li Guanxiong asked.
Luo Xu suddenly had an idea: "Nothing, I just thought this is a precious sword, it must be valuable, so I wanted to sell it."
Following Li Guanxiong's shout of "Hui Lun, press his acupoints so that he can't move around", Yu Hui Lun pressed the acupoints on Luo Xu's body and he became unable to move.
Two soldiers stayed behind to guard Luoxu, while the others searched around for the whereabouts of Prince Zhaolin.
When Yin Ruchen, Yan Moying and Gao Cai walked to the foot of Quyun Mountain, they happened to see Li Guanxiong and the soldiers he led.
"There is a man on horseback ahead!" Gao Cai said.
"Isn't that General Li?!" Yan Moying said excitedly.
Gao Cai took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Li Guanxiong, so he shouted, "General Li——"
"General Li——" Yan Moying and Gao Cai shouted together.
Li Guanxiong looked in the direction of the voice, his brows lit up with joy, and he and the soldiers around him immediately rode over.
"I, Li Guanxiong, kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" "I kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Guanxiong and the soldiers knelt in front of Gao Cai and bowed.
"Get up, get up! Why are you being polite in this place? The important thing is to take me back!" Gao Cai said. Yin Ruchen saw this scene from the side and realized that Gao Cai was actually the prince.
Li Guanxiong and several soldiers took Gao Cai, Yan Moying and Yin Ruchen back to the agreed gathering place with the soldiers.
Luo Xu still sat there, unable to move.
Seeing Luo Xu, Gao Cai was furious and said to Li Guanxiong: "It turned out to be him! It was him and his gang who kidnapped me!"
"How does Your Highness the Crown Prince intend to deal with him?" Li Guanxiong asked.
"His three accomplices have passed away, and now he is the only one left. We won't kill him now, but we must find out the reason when we go back!" said Gao Cai.
When Luo Xu heard Gao Cai say "his three accomplices have passed away", he was struck by lightning and felt disheartened, but he thought to himself that he was not alone and that there was also Wizard Chen in the palace. If he was caught by them and brought to the palace, he might have a chance to see Wizard Chen again.
The time to assemble had come, and the soldiers returned from all over the place to the assembly point. When they saw Gao Cai and his companions, they were all overjoyed.
"Prepare to return to the palace!" Gao Cai said.
Yin Ruchen originally only knew that they were from the capital and never expected that they were from the palace.
When she was out doing business before, she had heard about the complexity of the palace. Although she did not take the rumors seriously, she was somewhat repulsive to the palace. However, she did not think she would go to the palace at that time. First, she was calm and used to a simple life. She had no interest in the so-called wealth and glory in the eyes of the world. Second, although she was capable, alert, and defensive, and had the ability to see through other people's conspiracies, she hated the intrigues for boring personal fame and status. She thought she was not suitable to have anything to do with the palace.
