Chapter 453 Prince VS Little Brother 53
After arriving at Hanshui Temple, Xiao Yubai burned incense and prayed devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, while Mo Qin and Mo Hua also served respectfully beside him.
After the blessing ceremony ended, Xiao Yubai did not return immediately as usual, but suggested taking a walk in the back mountain.
"Moqin, what do you think is going on with them? Why are they still sitting idle?" Xiao Yubai raised his hand to fan himself, his cheeks slightly red from the sun.
His hair was a little messy, and he frowned and complained, "It's so hot out here. All I want now is to get back to the waterside pavilion as soon as possible and have a good sleep."
Since the beginning of summer, Xiao Yubai has long been accustomed to spending his days leisurely in the coolness of the waterside pavilion of the palace. Now this scorching hot weather is really unbearable for him.
Mo Hua whispered softly, "Lord Wang, since no one is coming, why don't we go back home now?"
He thought to himself, wouldn't it be better if no one came to cause trouble? He really didn't understand why Wang Jun seemed to be hoping for something to happen.
Xiao Yubai shook his head slightly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and insisted, "Let's wait another quarter of an hour. If no one shows up, we'll go back."
It was the height of summer, the sun was scorching, and the heat was unbearable (imagine wearing two layers of long sleeves in a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius). His inner shirt had long been soaked with sweat and was sticking tightly to his back. The sticky and stuffy feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. He could even imagine how miserable he must look now.
So, Xiao Yubai took the two of them and walked slowly in the forest again. However, the surroundings were still quiet and there was no sign of anyone coming to cause trouble.
Xiao Yubai sighed helplessly and finally decided to go home.
The three of them got on the carriage, the driver whipped his horsewhip, and the carriage started slowly.
But before they drove out of the area of Hanshui Temple, suddenly, a loud rustling and noise approached rapidly from the side.
"Everyone in the car, get out!" A rough voice shouted loudly, and Xiao Yubai looked through the car window.
I saw a burly man with a face full of flesh blocking the front of the carriage, waving a big knife in his hand, the blade flashing coldly in the sunlight.
"If we had known they would come to rob the carriage, we shouldn't have stayed in the mountains for so long. It's so hot after going around in this circle." Xiao Yubai lowered his voice and complained to Mo Qin and Mo Hua, his eyes full of regret and helplessness.
Seeing him like this, Mo Qin and Mo Hua couldn't help but smile secretly, but they were afraid of being noticed by people outside, so they quickly forced themselves to hold it back.
Mo Qin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He got off the carriage first and asked respectfully and politely, "Excuse me, gentlemen. This is the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace. What can I do for you?"
The big man sneered, a trace of greed and ferocity flashing in his eyes, and he roared loudly: "Humph! Return the Regent's carriage. Even if the king of heaven comes today, you have to lie down obediently. Stop talking nonsense and make everyone in the carriage get out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The big man naturally knew that this was the carriage from the Regent's Palace. Because of this, he was sure that if he succeeded, he would be rewarded handsomely, so he dared to intercept it here so arrogantly.
Xiao Yubai looked calm and composed as he slowly got down from the carriage.
There were more than a dozen ferocious-looking men standing opposite, holding shiny swords in their hands. The blades were flashing cold light in the sunlight, and they were approaching Xiao Yubai straight.
"Brother, this carriage looks really valuable. In my opinion, we should just take it away and we can sell it for a good price!" A man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks ran to the burly man with a flattering look on his face, his eyes flashing with greed, jumping up and down to give advice. His face made people feel disgusted.
"Get out of the way!" The burly man glared at him impatiently and said in a gruff voice, "Take these boys to the woods over there. Second and third brothers, quickly load all the valuables from the carriage."
After saying that, he strode forward, grabbed Xiao Yubai's arm, and like an eagle catching a chick, dragged Xiao Yubai and the other two into the depths of the woods.
The big man thought to himself that his employer had clearly instructed them to destroy the young man's innocence.
At that time, they will pretend to come out to rescue people, and in this way, the deal will be successfully completed.
When he thought about being able to enjoy these three beautiful women and getting a generous reward, he felt full of energy, as if he had already seen a bright future beckoning to him.
"What on earth do you want to do? We can give you all the money in the carriage, but we only ask you to let us go." Xiao Yubai was held tightly by two rude men.
His arm was pinched so hard that it hurt. He frowned slightly and struggled symbolically a few times, but his eyes revealed a barely perceptible calmness and wit.
Mo Qin and Mo Hua stood aside, watching these evil men's dirty hands hurt Xiao Yubai.
