Chapter 1658: Wandering outside
h.e.l.l’s Palace secretly contacted Feng Guards while repairing the Phoenix Empire’s palace and waiting for Feng Jiu and others to return.
In a town some distance away from the Imperial City, the seven or eight years old Zhao Yang led the three-year-old Little Feng Ye into an alley. Their clothes were changed into those of ordinary children. Moreover, Little Feng Ye was wearing a small printed skirt with his hair tied into two braids, looking remarkably like a little girl. The Feng Guards who rummaged through the whole palace wouldn’t be able to find the little prince as he was turned into a delicate little girl.
“Sunny, are my parents still alive? They must be alive, right?” A tiny figure was speaking in a tender and mellifluous voice. There was a hint of resoluteness in his voice.
He firmly believed that his parents must still be alive.
“Mm, alive. They’re surely alive.” Zhao Yang nodded. His face was grim.
“Sunny, where are we going? Will we be caught and sold by the bad guys? ” The little boy looked worried. He had never travelled so far and he had no idea where he was. All he knew was that he woke up here with only Sunny guarding him.
“No, we won’t. I’ll protect you.” Zhao Yang replied, holding Feng Ye’s hand and kept walking. He left that day through the secret pa.s.sage. After walking continuously, he found out that they exited into a place outside the imperial city, a desolate place where there were no people.
Since the imperial city might be fraught with danger, he didn’t dare to go back there. He had no choice but to keep walking until they reached this town. In order to fool people, he put girl’s clothes on his master. After some thoughts, seeing that this place was some distance away from the imperial city, those people wouldn’t be able to find him and Feng Ye. They should wait here until they get the news of the princess’s return. After that, they would go back to have a look.
“Sunny, I’m hungry.” The little guy smelled the aroma of steamed buns and stood still. The sight of steamed buns at the stall in front made his mouth water.
“I brought some ration. Here you go.” He took a piece of pastry from the cosmos sack on his waist and gave it to him. “We mustn’t spend money recklessly outside. Children who squander their money will be caught by bad guys.”
Although he was only seven or eight years old, he had received a lot of training. As the two kids were outside, he knew what to pay attention to and that they had to reduce their presence as much as possible.
When he heard that he would be taken away by bad people, Little Feng Ye did not dare to lose his temper. She took the dried food and followed him to the alley to sit down and eat.
Although they concealed themselves well, from their clothes to their bearings, Little Feng Ye’s delicate and remarkable appearance still attracted some people’s attention.
A tall and thin man who was eating at a stall was staring at the two children. He saw that there were no adults around them. From their clothes, they seemed to be just ordinary children. However, the little girl was so exquisite that he couldn’t help having ideas.
If he caught and sold this little girl, her delicate little face would probably be worth a lot of money.
With this thought, he gave a mean smile, paid the money, stood up and walked towards the two children sitting in the alley.
Zhao Yang was always on guard, like a little wolf. He had noticed the man long ago but he hid his guard well until he saw him coming towards them. He immediately led Little Feng Ye, who was eating, into the alley.
