NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2339: The Cowardly Prince
Chapter 2339: The Cowardly Prince
"I know, let's go." The second prince of Fan Yi Kingdom didn't talk any nonsense and rushed over with his men.
They tried to be as quiet as possible to avoid the people from Fei Yang Kingdom from noticing them. The battlefield had been more or less cleaned up, but there were still some traces on the ground.
The second prince's expression showed disgust but he ignored it.
It was more important for him to escape at this time rather than caring about this kind of
matter.
They headed towards the forest.
Swish!
Before they could get far, something hit them.
Thud!
"Ugh!"
The second prince fell pain on his leg and looked down. He was horrified when he saw the dagger stuck on his leg and wanted to call for help. But in this place, who could possibly help him?
Turning his head to the side, he saw the servant who used to be with him had already died and there was a man standing there.
"Do you know his identity?" A female voice entered the second prince's ear.
"It should be a prince," the man, Long Qian Xing, replied as he looked at the young man in front of him up and down.
By observing their movements when escaping, Long Qian Xing could determine that this man was the master. And from the young man's young face, he didn't look like an official or the ministers.
Most ministers would be older in age.
Besides, the movement martial arts that they performed on the way was not something that can be learned easily. Either the family inheritance was so big or it was because he was part of the Imperial Family.
The Imperial Family had to learn martial arts.
This was something Long Qian Xing knew from Emperor Yang Zhou. The member of the Imperial Family had to protect themselves, so the martial art course were a must. Moreover, their skills were usually quite exquisite.
At the very least, it was quite unique and could be easily recognized.
Since most of the Imperial Family came from the same ancestors, the martial arts skills were also more or less similar.
Long Qian Xing was able to recognize it from this matter.
"Is that so?" Nan Hua grabbed the bag and turned it around. The things inside fell down, revealing some clothes, rations, weapons, and also a token. Looking at this token, Nan Hua read the number 2 there. "Second Prince?"
"It seems that this is going to be interesting." Long Qian Xing chuckled and glanced at the fallen second prince. "Come with us."
"No..."
Bang!
With a hand knife to the back of the prince's head, the prince fell down. Compared with the real martial artists who fought fiercely on the frontline, the princes were as fragile as paper. Long Qian Xing unceremoniously brought him up and then tossed him to Long Xu who came to them.
"How did you know that he will appear there?" Long Qian Xing asked as they walked back in the direction of the camp.
"I guessed," Nan Hua replied.
She didn't use her ability for this kind of person because it would be a waste.
The main reason why Nan Hua could guess was because there was a description that the second prince of Fan Yi Kingdom escaped in the novel. Afterwards, he went to various villages, pillaged the people and made them work for him, forming a small kingdom.
As for taking over Fan Yi Kingdom back?
The second prince in the record had no such intention because it was impossible to fight back against a big kingdom like Fei Yang Kingdom. He just wanted to become a ruler of a small kingdom.
However, Emperor Yang Zhou couldn't tolerate such an existence.
When the soldiers went to charge, they found that the people welcomed them instead and asked them to overthrow the second prince. It could be said that they themselves wished for this prince's death.
None of them truly followed the second prince from the bottom of their heart.
Perhaps, at the beginning, they did follow him heartily.
But after his treatment that made them suffer and lives difficult, they didn't want the second prince to stay on the so called 'throne anymore.'
When Emperor Yang Zhou heard what he had done, the second prince of Fan Yi Kingdom was executed and the money he had plundered over the years were returned to the people.
The people were thankful for Emperor Yang Zhou.
It could be said that this incident did increase Emperor Yang Zhou's prestige to a certain extent. But the effect was not that big because at that time, Emperor Yang Zhou was already busy with other matters.
After all, the problem at the north was tricky and it had never been solved even after several centuries.
In Nan Hua's opinion, there was no need for the second prince to be released.
If he were to cause torture to many people in the small kingdom and affected the lives of
many people, it would be better for him to die first. In this way, he would have no chance to
harm these people.
"Guess?" Long Qian Xing asked again.
"Don't worry, I don't use that," Nan Hua reassured Long Qian Xing.
As they walked closer to the camp, Nan Hua felt her steps were somewhat lighter. She blinked
her eyes and glanced around but found nothing different.
For a moment, Nan Hua suddenly thought about the <world consciousness> back then. Was this one of the few things that she meant?
But Nan Hua was not sure.
Because she had already done many other things that changed many people lives, yet she had
never felt this way before.
Because for her, both life and death has become so common.
'Or it's what that monk said?'
Nan Hua shook her head and pushed the thoughts away. No matter what it was, nothing had happened to her, so she didn't have to think too much about it.
