Chapter 64 - Father and Son"Your Highness!"
At this moment, everyone finally saw clearly who it was that had attacked on the stage. It was actually w.a.n.g Xiangtian, who stood shoulder to shoulder!Everyone"s mouths gaped in shock. They had not expected that the prince would personally intervene. Moreover, his actions were not light. He had actually sent Xiang Yun flying with a kick!
Meanwhile, Xiang Yun, who had landed heavily on the ground, had already begun seeing stars. The blood within his body was roiling, his internal organs trembling violently.
However, he gritted his teeth and did not let out a single groan. Instead, he tried his best to prop himself up with his hands in an attempt to stand up! At this moment, the spirit root within his body circulated crazily, wanting to acc.u.mulate strength again!
However, Xiang Yun"s body had only just been propped up, and Xiang Tian"s figure had silently disappeared from the arena. In the next moment, he appeared before Xiang Yun without a single word. The latter waved his hand without a single wave!
"Pah!"
A resounding slap landed directly on Xiang Yun"s face. The latter spun in the air a few times before heavily falling to the ground. Yun Li that couldn"t be gathered was dispersed by this forceful slap!
"Father!"
When Xiang Jinghong, who was within the Spring Pavilion, saw this, he immediately became anxious. His father had suddenly made his move. He had thought that it was to save his third brother, but these two moves were clearly to take care of Xiang Yun.His voice was ice-cold as he said to Xiang Yun, whose body was twitching in pain, "Unfilial son, you"ve got some guts. How dare you be so rude to the princess? Do you not want to live?"
Xiang Yun was currently lying flat on the cold ground of the arena, his body trembling slightly!
At this moment, his muscles, tendons, and joints were all in excruciating pain, and his face was burning with the pain of being roasted by fire!However, even though he was suffering from this pain, his entire body was trembling like a sieve. Xiang Yun still struggled to use his hands to support himself on the ground. Under the astonished gazes of everyone present,
Xiang Yun shakily stood up!
Perhaps because of the excruciating pain, Xiang Yun was unable to straighten his body, and could only bow his back. However, his head was held high as he stared at the white robed middle-aged man in front of him with a stern expression!
At this moment, Xiang Yun"s right cheek was red and swollen, still stained with the dust on the ground, while scarlet blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked incomparably miserable!
Even so, Xiang Yun raised his head and looked straight at his father. His eyes were filled with a deep unwillingness, a boundless fury, and a fearless madness!
"What right do you have to hit me?" Xiang Yun"s voice was hoa.r.s.e and low, like a wild beast from h.e.l.l, as he let out a roar that caused one"s soul to tremble!"Pah!"
What answered him was the next slap. This time, the force did not seem to be as strong as before, but Xiang Yun was still slapped until he staggered and fell to the ground!
"Crown Prince!"Inside the pavilion, Lin Wan"er was crying like a man. She couldn"t care less about status and rank. She rushed up the stage and held onto the young man who was staggering, but whose eyes were glazed over!
Xiang Yun felt dizzy for a moment before the pain cleared his mind once more. He used his trembling hands to pat Lin Wan"er on the shoulder and propped himself up once more before turning to look at Xiang Ling.
There was not the slightest trace of fear in Xiang Yun"s eyes. His eyes, which were almost blood-red, were filled with a deep hatred that could not be dissipated. He stared fixedly at this aloof and aloof Juechen King!
"Kill me if you dare!" Xiang Yun"s voice was filled with an intense coldness that could almost freeze one"s heart!Even Xiang Fei, who had been watching from the side, trembled in fear when she saw Xiang Yun"s blood-red eyes and heard the bone-chilling voice!
This gaze was truly terrifying!
Even for Xiang Tian, he was someone who could not show his emotions. He was a shrewd person that could control the seas and the rivers, a va.s.sal force.
When he saw the look in his son"s eyes and heard the man"s words, his expression changed. He was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, he covered it up!
Xiang Tian"s brows furrowed as a fierce light suddenly shot out from his eyes!
In an instant, a majestic aura pressed down like a monstrous wave, causing the entire Apricot Garden to be enveloped by an invisible might. This aura was extremely tyrannical and carried a thick b.l.o.o.d.y smell, causing everyone to feel a shiver from their souls.At this moment, the scholarly figure that was standing side by side with the King. His originally refined and quiet aura was swept away and he finally became the Blood Slaughter War G.o.d, who had caused the corpses of his enemies to tremble in fear!
At this moment, everyone knew that Xiang Tian was truly angry. This time, Xiang Yun was going to have a great misfortune!
At this critical moment, Xiang Jinghong"s entire body turned into a ball of crimson flames as he charged into the arena, blocking the path between Xiang Yun and Xiang Lingtian!
He looked pleadingly at Xiang Tian, "Royal father, third brother was too impulsive at such a young age and it was just an unintentional act. Don"t blame him, his injuries are not light right now, it"s best to heal his wounds first!"
Lin Wan"er, who was at the side, quickly knelt in front of Xiang Ling and kowtowed as she pleaded, "Prince, my son has always been weak. I beg you to let him go. If he gets hurt again, my son will definitely die!"At this time, Marshal Wan Bing, who came to the pavilion in the spring, appeared on the stage. He hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"My prince, this prince is young and ignorant, please forgive him for once. I think he has already been taught a lesson, and today is your birthday. The compet.i.tion will not be as lively, and it will not be good if it hurts the relationship between you and your son.""Yes!" "Your highness, I, the wife, have spent so much effort to prepare a present for your birthday today. For the sake of father and son, please spare him!"
At that moment, w.a.n.g Wenjing was also consoling him with a heart aching voice. He was afraid that under his rage, Xiang Tian would beat the genius lecturer that the Orthodox Academy had just reaped to death. At that time, not only would the Orthodox Academy suffer a loss, but the entire literary world would also suffer a loss!Under everyone"s persuasion, Xiang Tian"s originally cold and fierce gaze finally eased up. However, he still stared at Xiang Yun, letting out a low and deep shout!
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Kneel outside the east gate of the Apricot Altar Garden. Don"t get up without my permission! Otherwise it will be punished by military law! "Hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They felt that the little crown prince had truly walked out of h.e.l.l. As long as the king didn"t interfere, then Xiang Yun"s little life would be saved!
At this moment, Xiang Jinghong"s heart relaxed as he hurriedly turned to speak to Xiang Yun, "Third brother, father has already let you go. Kneel outside the east gate first. Second brother will go find some medicine for you to heal you with!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun was like an unconscious puppet as he looked at Xiang Tian with his pair of scarlet red eyes.
Immediately, the blood covered corner of Xiang Yun"s mouth was lifted into a strange arc! The latter spoke in a hoa.r.s.e and low voice!
"I"ve given you a chance. If you don"t kill me, don"t regret it!"
"Third brother!"
"Crown Prince!"
Upon hearing these words, Xiang Jinghong and Lin Wan"er were shocked. They wanted to stop him, but it was too late!Everyone looked somewhat fearfully at Xiang Tian, afraid that the latter would be angered by Xiang Yun"s words before he attacked again.
However, this time, Xiang Tian did not attack again. He had his hands behind his back as he looked indifferently at Xiang Yun, his gaze devoid of any emotion. It was as if he was looking at a stranger that had nothing to do with him!
"Wan-Er, let"s go!"
After saying this, Xiang Yun finally turned around. With the support of Lin Wan"er, his feet trembled as he walked step by step down the stage, down the Spring Pavilion, and out the east gate of the Apricot Altar Garden.Looking at the shaking figure of his back, Xiang Fei who was on the stage was in a daze.
The figure of that figure, whom she had been itching to tear to pieces and grind to ashes earlier, actually caused her to feel a little uncomfortable in her heart. She felt a little choked up, and even felt a trace of sympathy for Xiang Yun!
The unyielding, furious, and crazed gaze of that weak fellow was deeply engraved in Xiang Fei"s heart as he faced the Heavenly G.o.d like Xiang Tian!In the Apricot Altar Garden, when everyone saw the little prince walk out of the Spring Pavilion, they all felt that they had opened up a wide path, allowing him to walk all the way to the east gate. Looking at his swaying body and his miserable appearance, they couldn"t help but feel some sympathy for him!
How many people envied Xiang Yun"s birth? As the son of King Jian, his birth was a symbol of n.o.bility. However, how many people knew that "the most ruthless royal family"!
The imperial family"s affection was often the coldest. It was just like how this son of the crown prince, whose father had made a move on him. Where was the slightest sign of a benevolence towards his father?
Almost everyone was watching Xiang Yun as he left the Altar Garden. However, no one could see that on the stage, the white-robed middle-aged man was carrying his back while his hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, were trembling slightly.
After a long while, the atmosphere in the Apricot Altar Garden returned to a jubilant state. The guests seated in the pavilion continued to drink and chat merrily.
Outside the east gate of the Apricot Altar Garden, Lin Wan"er supported Xiang Yun to the east gate.
Just as Lin Wan"er was thinking this, she found a broom and swept a snowless area for Xiang Yun to kneel on. She didn"t expect that Xiang Yun had no intention of stopping at all!"Crown Prince, you …" Lin Wan"er looked at Xiang Yun with a puzzled expression!
"Wan"er, let"s go. We"ll return to Qin Feng city tonight!"
"What!" Lin Wan"er was startled. She tried to persuade him, "But Your Highness … His Highness asked you …"
"Haha, from today onwards, everything he says is an imperial edict in the eyes of others. In my eyes, it"s a fart!" Xiang Yun coldly laughed as he said, "Continue moving forward!"
Lin Wan"er was a little worried, but her heart ached as she looked at her son"s swollen cheeks and trembling body.
How could she still be willing to let him kneel in this world of ice and snow? She steeled her courage and supported Xiang Yun as they made their way to the backyard of the Duke"s Mansion!
In the stables at the backyard of the prince"s mansion, Old Liang was feeding a handful of gra.s.s to the horses, a broken jug of wine in one hand, and singing a tune he had heard from who knows where."The king wishes to lie down on his bed, but he has hidden himself well, and there are no horse riders, he has made a ruckus in front of the village"s women for eighteen months!"
"Grandpa Liang, quickly prepare the carriage!" Suddenly, Lin Wan"er"s anxious voice could be heard from afar.
"Hmm?" Old Liang was stunned. He turned his head to look and saw that Lin Wan"er was supporting a young man who was limping and had his head lowered. The young man"s chest was stained with blood as he walked towards the stables.
"Hey, Wan-Er, why did you help a half-dead man over here? What"s wrong with him? Did he get beaten up like this by the guards of the mansion when he was secretly watching the maids taking a bath?"As soon as Old Liang finished speaking, the young man with his head lowered finally raised it with great difficulty and cursed weakly: "Old Liang, I"ll f * * k you. You just saw the maid take a bath, quickly prepare the carriage for this prince. We"ll set off for home tonight!"
