Amor bajo las estrellas lejanas - Capítulo 62
Minglu subconsciously turned to look at Chen happy, who had walked a short distance away. Chen happy also happened to turn around and look at him, his face apologetic. He had clearly heard Xitian's words but was powerless to help. His eyes clearly conveyed, "Prince Ming, you've been wronged."
Minglu could only manage a bitter smile.
Chen Xi couldn't be blamed. After all, he had to pretend to be eager to take Li Yu out for the night, and he also had a mission to complete. He had no excuse to keep him there, and time was of the essence; he had to get rid of everyone and obtain the map of the stronghold as soon as possible. If he left a way out in front of Xi Tian, it would definitely cause complications and delay Xi En's attack on the stronghold, putting the three of them in even greater danger.
Therefore, Minglu, who had come disguised as a king with no status, was taken away by Xitian.
Upon entering the courtyard where Xitian lived, Minglu briefly surveyed the surroundings. He noticed that Xitian's residence was relatively quiet and undisturbed, making it an easy place to make his move.
After entering the house, Minglu was about to press Xitian's pressure points from behind when, unexpectedly, Xitian immediately started taking off his clothes. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem since they were both men, but Minglu felt disgusted when he thought about Xitian saying he wanted to sleep with him.
At this moment, Xitian, whose life hung by a thread, shouted to Minglu, "It's so cold! Wang Lai, go get a basin of hot water and soak my feet."
What? You want a prince to wash the feet of a bandit's male concubine?
*********
It's late, I'm going to sleep now. I'll correct any mistakes tomorrow.
Please help me point out any mistakes. I was very frustrated writing this chapter and revised it many times. I used too many masks, and I don't know if everyone understood it. It seems a bit messy.
In addition, the number of bandits from Mount Da Luo was changed from 300 to 10,000.
The next chapter will be updated tomorrow night, or perhaps it should be tonight.
Thank you everyone for liking Yotsuba's story. Yotsuba was secretly delighted after reading everyone's comments...
The main text was fake.
While taking off his clothes, Xi Tian said with dissatisfaction, "That Ye Piaopiao is just relying on her beauty to please the Second Master. The Second Master is only interested in her for a while. Humph, trying to fight me, you bitch. In a while, you'll be at my beck and call just like me. You're all bitches!"
For the first time in his life, Minglu was called a scoundrel. His feelings were beyond words, and when he heard that Xitian harbored ill intentions towards Yudi, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent.
He took out a copper coin from his waist and held it in his hand.
Then Xitian said with ill intent, "But... that Ye Piaopiao's skin is really delicate, she's fucking like a woman. After the second leader gets tired of her, I'll also... heh..."
Xitian, having taken off his clothes, turned around only to find Wang Lai still motionless behind him. He immediately snapped, "Damn it, are you deaf?! Hurry up and fetch some water to serve this master a bath..."
His body suddenly froze, his voice abruptly stopped, and a copper coin embedded itself in his ribs.
Looking at Xitian, whose eyes were darting around and who was almost completely naked, Minglu felt extremely disgusted. He kicked Xitian, who flew onto the bed with a thud, leaving a clear muddy footprint on his chest. But Xitian's eyes still stubbornly stared at him, full of disbelief.
Minglu looked disgusted and threw another copper coin, hitting him on a pressure point that made him faint. Xitian rolled his eyes and passed out.
Minglu glanced at the naked man on the bed with disgust. He could have killed Xitian, but killing Xitian would have dirtied his hands. Then he thought that as soon as it got light, Xi'en would lead his troops up the mountain and this man would not survive either. So he let him live a little longer.
Minglu flicked down the gauze curtain to cover Xitian's naked body, then went out and returned the way he came, back to the fork in the road, and chased after Chen happy along the fork in the road.
Upon reaching a courtyard at the end of the road, Minglu saw that there was no one guarding the area, assuming that Chen Xi had already withdrawn all the guards. Minglu slipped into the courtyard and saw that there were candles lit in two rooms. He went to the outside of one of the rooms and peeked through the crack in the door. He saw Chen happy searching through the layout map of the mountain stronghold.
Minglu pushed open the door and entered. Chen happy was startled, but when he turned around and saw it was him, he was relieved.
He immediately bowed to Minglu and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Minglu said, "Get up. You did very well. I don't blame you. Let's not talk about this now. We don't have much time. Let's split up and search."
"yes."
The two split up to search for a map of the mountain stronghold.
According to reports from spies who infiltrated the Daluo Mountain stronghold, there is only one map of the stronghold, which is kept in the study of the second-in-command, Zhang Guiyi.
The two searched everywhere but couldn't find a map. Just as they were getting anxious, Minglu suddenly noticed a painting hanging on the wall with a poem by Li Bai in the corner: "The bright moonlight shines before my bed, I wonder if it's frost on the ground. I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then lower my head and think of my hometown." He suddenly remembered the next line of the code for Mount Da Luo. After leaving the toll, he suddenly lifted the painting, only to be disappointed to find no hidden chamber behind it.
Just as he was feeling annoyed, he suddenly heard Chen happy say, "Your Highness, look at the back of this painting."
Minglu flipped the drawing over and saw that it was a topographical map. Overjoyed!
It was past 3 AM, and time was of the essence. Chen happy, as the second-in-command, immediately left the mountain stronghold in the rain.
Minglu stayed behind. He blew out the candle in the study and went to another room, which was Zhang Guiyi's bedroom.
He stayed because of Li Yu.
Li Yu was still unconscious in bed at this moment.
Minglu sat down and listened quietly to his surroundings. Apart from the sound of rain and Yudi's even breathing, there was no other sound. He waited quietly for dawn and for Yudi to wake up.
The wind was strong outside, and the candlelight inside flickered. He looked up at his sleeping brother Yu on the bed and was slightly taken aback.
Undeniably, Li Yu looks very much like his fiancée, Tian Xiri. He couldn't help but doubt his identity, but the facts proved that he was not Tian Xiri. It was just wishful thinking on his part. Just like Chen Xi looks like Zhang Guiyi, it was all a joke or a coincidence when God created people.
He once sent someone to Suzhou to investigate Li Yu, and the result was that there was indeed such a person in Suzhou. He was the third son of a cloth merchant, known as the Third Young Master Li. It was said that he had loved to travel around since he was a child to broaden his horizons. It was also said that he was learned, talented, handsome, and a refined gentleman.
In fact, the words "handsome and elegant" are not enough to describe his beauty. He is so beautiful that it is easy to mistake his gender.
He still remembers the shock he felt when he saw his own male body...
He remembered the sudden surge of anger that welled up inside him when he saw the look of heartache on Li Yu's face as Long Ming left...
At that moment, he even felt a little resentful and hateful. Why wasn't Yu Di a woman? Why wasn't Yu Di Tian Xiri?
Outside, the rain was pouring down, and it was pitch black all around. The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed and were reflected on the window frame, looking as if they were baring their teeth and claws.
He got up and went to the bedside, quietly looking at Li Yu on the bed. He slowly stretched out his fingers and gently touched Li Yu's cheek. A shiver ran from his fingertips straight to his heart.
He'll wake up soon, and once he does, he won't be able to look at him so brazenly anymore... Once he wakes up... he'll be many people's little brother, not just his...
