Chapter 148: Sending You to the Sky (16)

Lu Yu was actually not optimistic about joining the prince and asking for help. However, Nie Shiyun's words were sincere and sincere, and they really had nowhere to go, so they had no choice but to let things go and came to Yandu.

In order to avoid being hunted, they fled for three months for a month's journey. Words cannot describe the hardships and ups and downs they endured.

After finally getting here, if possible, Lu Yu would also like to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of their Yong Kingdom and the young man whom General Nie admires in every possible way.

"General Nie, the capital of Yan is different from other capitals. This is the capital of Yan. We must not expose our identity."

Lu Yu lowered his voice and whispered to Nie Shiyun, "I am no more than a provincial magistrate with little talent and no reputation. But the general escorted the prince here half a year ago. Maybe someone will recognize you. General, you must be careful."

Nie Shiyun was confused when he heard this, "Mr. Lu, why do you have to hide your identity? Can't we just say that we are from the Yong Kingdom and want to see His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Of course not!" Lu Yu was shocked and immediately objected.

If this was his nephew, he would be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for saying this.

But Nie Shiyun was not only his descendant, but also his savior.

Lu Yu explained with slight displeasure: "General, it is very difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince to be alone as a hostage. If the Yan State finds out that he has private contacts with the Yong State, what will the Yan State think? It is not a pity for an old man to die, but he must not be implicated. Prince!"

Lu Yu is the most loyal minister in line with the mainstream concept of this era. He is so loyal to the current royal family of Yong that he is almost stupid and stubborn. Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the king's kindness. Even though he was almost killed by the fourth prince several times, he was still extremely loyal to Emperor Yong.

Since Shen Minghuan is the prince and the future Emperor of Yong, even if he has never met this person, even if he does not know his nature and talents, he will still be loyal to him wholeheartedly.

Even if Shen Minghuan's position as the crown prince was a bargaining chip from the beginning, and even if no one in the Yong Kingdom really treated Shen Minghuan as the crown prince, so what? For Lu Yu, Shen Minghuan was the prince one day and his master the next.

Nie Shiyun hesitated to speak. He recalled Shen Minghuan's iron teeth and bronze teeth on the day he entered Yan Palace, and hesitated: "I don't think His Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated by us."

Even if you have the intention, you are powerless, right? Their three-legged tricks probably didn't have the ability to hold back Shen Minghuan.

Lu Yu: "???"

Such remarks that did not take Shen Minghuan's safety seriously greatly offended Mr. Lu.

He opened his mouth to retort, but a gust of cold wind rushed in, and he suddenly coughed rapidly.

He was already quite old and had been hungry and cold for a long time, so he couldn't stop coughing. Lu Yu bent his back unconsciously, stroking his chest and coughing continuously, as if he was about to vomit out his heart and lungs. It looked terrible.

Nie Shiyun was extremely panicked: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

Nie Shiyun picked up Lu Yu and rushed to the city in a hurry.

He didn't take two steps before he was stopped by the clerk guarding the city gate, "What are you doing? The entrance fee is two copper coins per person. If you can afford it, go in. If you can't afford it, just stay outside!"

"I'll make it up later. I'll make it up later. Can you let me go in and find a doctor first?" Nie Shiyun was worried about Lu Yu and didn't dare to force his way in, so he discussed it nicely.

The two clerks looked at each other, raised their heads and laughed, "Repair it later? Can you afford it? You can't get four copper coins, and you still want to see a doctor? The doctor can't cure the poor man's disease, so go away."

Nie Shiyun's face darkened, "Human life is at stake. How can this mere four copper coins compare? Get out of the way!"

He has led troops on the battlefield before, and when he is angry, he brings with him power that makes people subconsciously afraid to resist.

The clerk reflexively took a small step back, and when he realized what he was doing, he became furious because of his embarrassment. He waved his fist and said, "Who are you going to fight against? I'm telling you, the lives of you untouchables are worthless. Don't worry." Talking about four coppers, half a copper is not worth it!”

Some of the refugees hesitated and tried to pull Nie Shiyun back, but they looked at the ferocious-looking clerk, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to stretch out their hands.

It's not that they don't have sympathy, it's not that they can't see Lu Yu's current state, but death is such a normal thing. Except for their own relatives, others have no extra emotions to express their feelings.

If they hadn't just finished the porridge and the heat melted the ice on their hearts, they might not have even thought of meddling in their own business.

The clerk smiled ferociously and said proudly, "Get away, or I will let you die with this old guy."

"You dare?!" If he hadn't been holding Lu Yu with both hands, Nie Shiyun would have already taken action. His eyes turned red with anger, and he held his neck and shouted loudly: "I am a member of the crown prince of Yong Kingdom, you dare to touch me?"

The clerk was stunned.

He looked up and down at Nie Shiyun and Lu Yu. It was known to everyone that Shen Minghuan used slaves to form a caravan. The caravan traveled all over the country and it seemed normal that only one old and one strong would come back when in danger?

Lu Yu finally suppressed his coughing. He was caught off guard when he heard Nie Shiyun bring out His Highness the Crown Prince as a shield. He almost rolled his eyes and fainted.

But he couldn't faint yet. He couldn't really bring this matter to the prince.

"Nie Shiyun, put me down." Lu Yu gritted his teeth and was so angry that he couldn't even call out "general".

Nie Shiyun was ecstatic, "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

He didn't notice anything wrong with Lu Yu's mood at all.

Lu Yu rolled his eyes. He ignored Nie Shiyun and wanted to explain to the clerk, "My lord, you..."

He wanted to tell you not to listen to the nonsense of the person next to him, he wanted to say that they didn't know any prince at all, he wanted to tell you not to misunderstand.

But before he could find the right words, he heard the clerk enthusiastically said: "This is really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. You are the people of Prince Shen, why didn't you say it earlier? Come here quickly, there is no wind here."

Another clerk also rushed up: "Oh, pitiful, you have been wronged along the way, right? What happened? If there are brothers I can help, just speak up!"

It is not an exaggeration to say that the attitude has changed dramatically.

Nie Shiyun blinked in confusion, he scratched his head, and grinned at Lu Yu, "Look, Lord Lu, I said it's okay to report the name of His Royal Highness the Prince directly, right?"

Lu Yu: "..."

What exactly went wrong?

He still doubted his life, and the clerk was also terrified.

Everyone knows that Prince Shen protects his shortcomings and holds grudges. If he is thinking about them, Prince Yan will not let them go without him taking action.

They were just ordinary soldiers, not even worthy of showing their faces in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At best, they could only be regarded as lackeys of the Crown Prince's lackeys. The Crown Prince would not stand up for them, but would only break their lackeys for the sake of Crown Prince Shen.

The clerk shuddered and became more attentive, "Oh, look at my memory, why did I let you two stand at the door, but you want to see Crown Prince Shen? I will lead the way for you."

Lu Yu: "..."

This is not right no matter how you look at it, right?

He secretly pulled Nie Shiyun and whispered, "Do you feel a little strange?"

Nie Shiyun was pleased, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really amazing."

Lu Yu: "..."

Is there something wrong with me?

The clerk did not completely believe what they said. These days, there are more people who want to get close to Shen Minghuan than those who want to be sons to Emperor Yan.

He took the two of them a few steps into the city.

On New Year's Eve, most of the shops on both sides closed their doors. The clerk looked up and knocked on a pawnshop near the city gate.

The shops under the name of Shen Minghuan all have a small "Ming" character on the lower right corner of the plaque. This is common sense known to everyone.

To survive in a place like Yandu, you must always know who you absolutely cannot mess with.

The door opened with a creak.

The visitor pushed against the door, with no intention of inviting them in, and looked a little impatient: "What's the matter?"

Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. Lu Yu saw that he was dressed like an ordinary merchant, but he did not show any respect or fear when he saw the clerk, and the clerk did not mind, but took it for granted.

The clerk smiled and said, "Brother, I didn't mean to disturb you. These two said they were the people of Prince Shen. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I brought them here for you to see."

Lu Yu covered his chest.

This is actually the shop of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The order of nobility and inferiority is scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. The prince is the crown prince of a country, but he has to do business to supplement his family income. How can people not cry? It's all because of their incompetence as ministers.

"The young master's people?" The impatient look of the visitor instantly receded. He frowned slightly, looked at Nie Shiyun and Lu Yu, and asked seriously: "Do you have evidence?"

Nie Shiyun thought about it and tried to ask: "I know that the prince is weak and sick, is this enough?"

They no longer have any items that can prove their identity information, and what Nie Shiyun remembers most about Shen Minghuan is the other party's poor health.

——After all, he made this person sick before he left.

The visitor had a blank expression: "Everyone in Yandu knows it."

Lu Yu wanted to cover his chest again.

The prince must be under surveillance all the time.

Yan State is too bullying. It's okay to be under surveillance, but it's open to everyone!

The clerk already felt that he was deceived. That is to say, it's not that easy to offend Prince Shen.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "They are actually liars. They dare to tell such a big lie. Big brother, I will throw them out now."

The shopkeeper glanced at the clerk: "Who said they are liars?"

"Ah?" The clerk's breath just relieved was raised again, "Are they really the people of Prince Shen?"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and threatened: "Do you really want to inquire about our young master's affairs?"

The clerk smiled embarrassedly: "No, no, I'm leaving now."

Looking at the clerk's back as he fled in panic, Lu Yu silently put down his hand covering his chest.

Their prince seemed to be quite powerful.

"What are you standing there for? You are from Yong, right? Go in and wash up and change your clothes first. You don't plan to see the young master like this?" After the clerk left, the shopkeeper's tone did not improve, but seemed to be worse.

He was the first batch of slaves rescued by Shen Minghuan. The young master's affairs were not a secret. They all knew that although the young master was the prince of Yong, he was actually sent out as an abandoned child.

So although they were captured by the Yan people and made slaves, they hated Yong State far more than Yan State.

The shopkeeper looked at the two men with disdain. Ha, little trash from a trash country.

Lu Yu also looked at his back with caution. The running dogs of Yan State cannot be trusted. His Highness must have done this because he had no one else to use.
