The Captivating Crown Prince

Hundreds of people dressed in black with blood lotus embroidered on their clothes joined in the fight. With their participation in the fight, the whole situation was quickly cleared. The soldiers looked at the rescuers who had come out so suddenly and they could finally give a sigh of relief. The first time they saw those black clothes people with embroidered blood lotus rescuing people, they almost screamed out loud.

This was because those hundreds of people turned out to be the Mountain bandits that they had seen that day. But now, these mountain bandits who wore a blood lotus embroidered black clothes. Every single one was very fierce. Where was the shadow of the mountain bandits from before?

If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they would not know that not so long ago, these disciplined soldiers were the previous mountain bandits who robbed people.

Because there were many people who participated in the fights, Shang Wu Xin retreated aside and stood there to watch Wu Wei’s recently trained people. After watching them for a while, Shang Wu Xin was very satisfied with the people that Wu Wei trained.

After they killed their enemies, Wu Wei with all the people that he brought kneeled on the ground and with a powerful voice said, “Greetings to Crown Prince!”

These Mountain Bandits attitudes were a bit scared and respectful towards the Crown Prince. They originally had a lot of skills and were quite good at them, but this time every single one of them was trained until a layer of their skin were peeled off. However, they only felt warmth and respect in the training camp, knowing that the reason for their living was to be loyal to the Crown Prince. They were no longer the Mountain Bandits that everyone reviled, they were now people who have dignity for their skills.

“Rise!” Shang Wu Xin then asked, “All are here?” She had traversed a lot around the mountain hills that day, but if they’re really the people that she collected, there should not be these few people only.

“No!” Wu Wei quickly denied he was afraid that the Crown Prince would misunderstand his own work, “These are the best-trained people in the training camp, so this time I took them out. Everyone else is still training, and they’ll need a bit more time to be ready to work for the Crown Prince!”

“Take some people to treat the injured soldiers. If it’s still not enough, then we’ll stay for a few days!” Shang Wu Xin ordered.

Originally, Shang Wu Xin knew that these thousands of soldiers were very powerful. But tonight, Shang Wu Xin actually saw the power of these soldiers. They had good cooperation and strong combat capability. If you wanted to train such a team of soldiers, afraid that you had to spend a lot of time to train them.

“This…” Leng Yu Feng thought about it and said to the Crown Prince beside him, “This is not an ordinary Yu Lin army!” (1)

Huan Mo Che also nodded approvingly, “This Yu Lin army is almost the same as your personal bodyguards. No one in the capitals knows about the Yu Lin army. But this time, they’ve appeared next to the Crown Prince. I don’t know if…”

Shang Wu Xin knew that these two people were reminding themselves to pay attention to these people. Shang Wu Xin did not speak but looked up towards the direction of the capital. Imperial Father, you were really attentive! Shang Wu Xin felt a slight warmth passed over her cold heart.

“Crown Prince! Be careful!” Just as Shang Wu Xin was still feeling the uncomfortable warmth in her heart, she heard Wu Wei and Wu Ju’s voices shouted not far away. Her whole person became alert and she could feel the sound of a weapon breaking the wind coming towards her.

The accident came too fast, Shang Wu Xin was trying her best to avoid it, but found that she was caught in an embrace full of the smell of sunshine. She heard the sound of a sharp weapon inserted into the flesh and the smell of blood.

“Crown Prince, are you alright?” Just as Shang Wu Xin worried how she ended up in another person’s arms, she heard a voice filled with worry from above her head.

Shang Wu Xin’s head turned upwards, her whole body was still held by Leng Yu Feng. She looked up and saw Leng Yu Feng’s sharp chin and thin lips. Those two eyes shone brightly with lights that Shang Wu Xin did not understand.

Huan Mo Che used his folding fan to kill the enemy who pretended to be injured and dead and cut off the dead person’s head. When he discovered that the Crown Prince was in danger, both he and Leng Yu Feng fought for the first time to took the Crown Prince in their arms to protect him, but he was too far from the Crown Prince, and could only watch as his friend hugged the Crown Prince to protect him. He was just one step slower, only a step…

“Yu Feng!” Huan Mo Che quickly came over to support Leng Yu Feng, Shang Wu Xin also quickly released herself from Leng Yu Feng’s arms, walked behind Leng Yu Feng and saw a hidden weapon was pierced at Leng Yu Feng’s back. If Leng Yu Feng did not take her in his arms to protect her then at that time this hidden weapon would pierce directly through her heart.

Shang Wu Xin used her fingers to check on Leng Yu Feng’s wound, she then let out a sigh of relief and said, “There’s no poison. It’s not good to take out the hidden weapon in this place. Get on the carriage!” after Shang Wu Xin said that, Huan Mo Che helped Leng Yu Feng to get on the carriage.

“I’m alright!” Leng Yu Feng sat in the carriage, although his forehead was cold and sweaty the bloodied man didn’t make any more sound.

Shang Wu Xin’s expression did not change. It was as cold as usual. She nodded at his answer and while examining Leng Yu Feng’s wound and said, “This prince knows that you are fine. This Prince knows that if at that time you did not take action, this prince will die.”

“I…” Leng Yu Feng’s mouth opened, not knowing how and what to say, when he saw the hidden weapon almost hit the Crown Prince he didn’t think too much, there was only one thought in his heart that keeps on repeating. Must not let the Crown Prince injured. Must not let the Crown Prince injured. (2)

Shang Wu Xin ripped open Leng Yu Feng’s clothes, then said to Leng Yu Feng, “Bear with it!” and then she quickly pulled out the hidden weapon. The bright red blood spurted out and splashed Shang Wu Xin’s fingers. Huan Mo Che took out his handkerchief and help the Crown Prince to clean them.

As this horse carriage used to belong to Ye Yi Zhe, so it had a lot of good medicines hidden inside. Shang Wu Xin took out a bottle of medicine and smeared them on to Leng Yu Feng’s wound. In just a moment, it stopped the bleeding.

T/N note:

御林军 / Yu Lin Army: Literally translated to “Royal” “Forest” “Army” in that order.

Yup! You did not see wrong. It’s written repeatedly 2 times. Important things must be repeated 2~3 times! And in Mandarin/Chinese words they don’t use thinking in your “mind” but instead they use “heart”. As a heart or “心” is a very very very important place/organ. Without a “heart” you will die. The “heart” is something that can expressed a lot of emotions, whether if it’s anger, sadness, hurt, injured, and so on…So in short, it’s used in many expressions.

T/N trivia:

Your novice/amateur translator Skilvh here, have to apologize to all the readers out there for the slow translations. She is an OL (Office Lady) who work 6 days a week, from 07.00 – 18.00 with only 1 hour break in the afternoon. Have overtime in office at least 2-3 days a week. Driving my own vehicle between office and home in one trip took around 45~60 minutes (i.e. if there’s no traffic jam…Oooh how I hate traffic!). And a bad case of health problems. But I still persevere! As I do enjoy translating this story. ^ v ^. Your comments are my supports that shows that you’re reading this. I hope that you enjoy reading this story as I do translating it. Although it’s slow… hehehe~
