Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: Jinwu City



The Eagle Guards stared at Wei Liao with hostility. Seeing this, the Sky Wolf Guards were not to be outdone and glared back fiercely. The two sides fell into a tense state again.

Yu Niaoniao quickly jumped out of the carriage and shouted at them.

“Wei Liao didn’t bully me. Don’t do anything rash. Now is not the time for internal strife!”

Now that Xiao Juan was not around, she had to stabilize the situation for him.

For the sake of the County Princess, the Eagle Guards looked away.

Yan Nanguan went forward and asked, “Why are you down?”

Yu Niaoniao’s eyes were still red and her voice was a little hoarse, but her mental state had returned to normal.

“Have a good night’s rest. We’ll leave here in the morning.”

Yan Nanguan was surprised. “Aren’t we going to look for Duke Lang?”

Yu Niaoniao lowered her eyes, her expression sad.

“If we could have found him, we would have.’

“If we delay any longer, it would only waste time. We might as well leave this place first. Let’s go to Jinwu City and tell Princess Ni Yang about this. We have to find out the cause of the explosion and see who planned all this.”

When she said the last two sentences, she gritted her teeth and her tone revealed some ruthlessness.

“Whoever did it has to pay with his life!”

Yan Nanguan’s expression was stern. “Okay.”

He passed down the Princess Consort’s order.

Although the Eagle Guards still could not accept the fact that Duke Lang had suddenly left, they rationally knew that the Princess Consort’s actions were the most correct.

Instead of being obsessed with grief, they might as well take action and avenge Duke Lang!

When Yu Niaoniao turned around, she saw Ling Hai and Ling Miao standing not far away.

Ling Miao’s condition was almost healed, but her body was still very thin.

She clung to her brother, and looked a little nervous.

Ling Hai brought his sister to Yu Niaoniao and said, “I heard that something happened to Duke Lang. Is there anything we can do to help?”

Yu Niaoniao shook her head to indicate that she did not, then said.

“You should know that our destination is the princess’s residence, right? I know you don’t like Princess Ni Yang, but I still hope you can control your emotions next. Don’t let anyone see through you.”

Ling Hai pursed his lower lip. “Don’t worry, we won’t cause you trouble.”

If he was alone, it did not matter if he risked his life to take revenge on Princess Ni Yang.

But he still had a sister. If he died, how would his sister live?

His sister was all he had left. He couldn’t leave her alone.

He had to live.

Only by living could he protect the people he wanted to protect.

The next morning, the team set off again.

Yan Nanguan found Yu Niaoniao and looked troubled.

“Princess Consort, there’s a little trouble with Dark Cloud.”

Dark Cloud was Xiao Juan’s mount. It seemed to be able to sense everyone’s sadness and stayed on the spot anxiously, unwilling to leave and not allowing anyone to approach it.

It kicked anyone who dared to approach it.

When Yu Niaoniao went over, she saw a few Eagle Guards surrounding the Dark Cloud, trying to calm it down so that it could obediently leave with the main group.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

Like its owner, this fellow was stubborn.

Yu Niaoniao leaned over and waved at Dark Cloud. At the same time, she called its name.

Dark Cloud remembered Yu Niaoniao’s voice and the scent on her body. It relaxed its vigilance a little.

Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to approach it and reach out to touch its head.

Yan Nanguan was very nervous. “Princess Consort, be careful. Don’t be kicked by it. This guy is so strong that it could break the bones of an adult man with a kick.”

Yu Niaoniao raised her hand, indicating for Yan Nanguan to stop talking.

She slowly placed her small hand on Dark Cloud’s head. Seeing that Dark Cloud did not reject her, she gently touched its head.

Dark Cloud felt very comfortable and subconsciously leaned towards Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao took out an oil paper bag from her sleeve.

There were a few Maltesers in the oil paper bag.

She pinched a Malteser and brought it to Dark Cloud’s mouth.

Dark Cloud first sniffed and smelled the sweetness. He immediately opened his mouth and bit into the Malteser, eating it.

The candy was quickly finished. It licked its mouth reluctantly and rubbed its head against Yu Niaoniao’s arm, indicating that it wanted more.

Yu Niaoniao gave it another piece of candy.

When it finished eating and wanted a third piece, Yu Niaoniao refused to give it

anymore.

“Too much sugar will cause your teeth to rot. When we reach Jinwu City, I’ll get you some more delicious food.”

It was unknown if the Dark Cloud understood her. When Yu Niaoniao led it forward, it did not resist and obediently followed its mistress.

This scene made Yan Nanguan angry and amused.

He had thought that Dark Cloud was unwilling to leave because it refused to leave its master, but two Maltesers coaxed it.

It turned out that in its heart, its master had about the same value as two Maltesers.

Yu Niaoniao did not take the carriage again today. She chose to ride.

Dark Cloud carried her steadily forward.

There was no sun today. The wind was strong, blowing in their faces with sand.

Yu Niaoniao was wearing a cloak and a veil on her head. She covered herself tightly.

They stopped for a rest on the way to replenish the horses’ feed and water before continuing on their way.

They finally arrived at Jinwu City before dark.

To Yu Niaoniao’s surprise, the gatekeeper of Jinwu City was actually a woman.

The female general was tall and tanned. When she smiled, she revealed neat white teeth.

“You’re the Princess Consort of Lang County, right? The Eldest Princess has already instructed us to wait for you here.”

Yu Niaoniao pulled down the veil covering her mouth and nose and asked, “Where is the Eldest Princess now?”

The female general said, “The weather has been hot recently. The Eldest Princess has gone to the courtyard outside the city to avoid the heat. She should be back tomorrow. Please go to the princess’s residence to rest for th time being.”

She looked behind Yu Niaoniao and asked hesitantly.

“Why don’t I see His Highness?”

Yu Niaoniao lowered her eyes and looked sad. “He had an accident on the wa

The female general was extremely surprised. “Something happened to Duke Lang? How did this happen?”

Yu Niaoniao roughly explained the accident they had encountered at Xiangk Temple.

The female general was puzzled. “Why did you go to a place like Xianglan Temple for no reason?”

“We heard that it was haunted and didn’t believe it, so we wanted to go over and take a look. Who knew that such a thing would happen? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have agreed to go there no matter what.”

As Yu Niaoniao spoke, her eyes turned red again.

The female general hurriedly comforted her. “My condolences. I’ll report thi matter to Princess Ni Yang. We must find out the truth and give you an explanation.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded with tears in her eyes. “Thank you, General.”

“You’re welcome, Princess Consort.”

The female general led the way in front and led Yu Niaoniao and the others to the princess’s residence.

As soon as Yu Niaoniao entered the princess’s residence, she saw a familiar face.

Cheng Qi greeted her with a smile. “Welcome to the princess’s residence..”
