Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 242

Chapter 242 - You Asked for This Yourself

When Yin Xu brought the goods back to the camp, the people that he had sent to “fetch” the Duke of Qin's wife and children had returned as well. The Duke of Qin had a total of fifteen wives and children, and the rest were his loyal servants who refused to leave their side.

In his words, they didn't even have enough military rations to eat, so why would they raise a bunch of useless idlers?

Yin Xu held up the register to check, and his gaze swept past the Qin Wang's specific bastard's body, secretly thinking: As expected, he's not a common person, if it wasn't for his name written in the family tree, he wouldn't believe that he's a part of the Qin Duke's group.

He didn't know if this was the situation he was talking about.

The son of the Duke of Qin's concubine was only about ten years old. He was thin and small, with slightly yellow skin, but his facial features were not prominent.

He had been keeping his head down the entire time, and only when Yin Xu gave him a few more glances did he carefully raise his head, and then, quickly, he lowered his head. With just that glance, Yin Xu could see that his clear eyes did not contain the fear or hatred of the other princes.

Yin Xu's first impression of this brat was not bad. He felt that he was a little similar to his disciple, so he was a little more supportive of Duke Qin's choice.

“Take care of him, don't be slow.” Yin Xu waved his hand and ordered his men to prepare for their return trip.

They had only been in the southwest for a few days, and the soldiers were about to return without even moving their weapons, so they were somewhat disappointed.

Furthermore, Yin Xu had prepared for them to deal with the traitor who had come to save lives so that they could kill a few people to earn some merits. Who knew that the Death Soldier who had come to the Duke of Qin's Palace would be chased away by Yin Xu after a few words.

But it was better to live than die, so everyone still had a lot of respect for Yin Xu.

Yin Xu did not tell them that the journey back wouldn't be as smooth as when they arrived. There was also a group of people from the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince, so they might make their move halfway.

However, he had already handed over all of these matters to Qixin, so he did not want to interfere.

On the way back, Yin Xu rode on the horse carriage, standing out amongst the cavalry and infantry, looking particularly eye-catching, especially when everyone saw the luxurious decorations and comfortable decorations inside the carriage, they could not help but feel a sense of inferiority.

The young general who had barged into the enemy's territory alone and captured the bandit leader alive, the young general who had rescued them in the dark, and the young general who understood heaven-defying formations, couldn't be connected to this foppish and carefree young master in front of them.

However, no one was jealous. Yin Xu was born of a high family, and his skills were strong, so everyone never treated him as someone of their own class.

Before they even reached the southwest, they had already encountered two attacks. The other side must have carefully studied their route and always set up an ambush at the easiest place to defend and attack. The two sides had fought twice, and each side had sustained damage, but fortunately, the other side wasn't able to take them away.

Just like this, they clattered their way back to the capital. It took them twice as long to see the tall walls of the capital, and the soldiers could finally relax their tense minds and cheer.

There were people waiting outside the city gate. When the Emperor found out that they had returned victorious, he had been waiting for this day for a long time. After he calculated the time when they would return, he had even sent his imperial bodyguards to pick them up.

As for the other person who came to receive him at the city gate, it was Third Prince, whose heart was filled with yearning for his beloved, Yin Xu had received a total of three letters from Teng Yu on the way back.

One was a secret letter to Yin Xu after finding out that there was a witness against Yin Xu in the hands of the Duke of Qin, informing him that he had to dig out these people and remove all future troubles along the way. The other was an answer letter to the Duke of Qin, which Teng Yu did not comment on.

Under the gazes of everyone present, Yin Xu flew out of the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, jumped onto Teng Yu's horse, and sat facing him.

Teng Yu smiled as he watched the youth he had not seen for a few months. He touched the youth's face and said, “I became thinner and darker, but I seem to be in good spirits.”

Yin Xu leaned on him, and complained: “How is your mental strength not bad? I'm so tired! “

Teng Yu heard the sound of people gasping for breath, and looked at the dumbstruck soldiers, how could he not understand?

Probably Yin Xu was still respected in the eyes of these soldiers, they would normally look like a stranger that didn't want to get too close, setting up a noble and elegant style, but now they would be leaning on Teng Yu, not letting anyone scare them.

“My War God … “It seems like he's disillusioned …” Some soldiers covered their faces as they gasped.

“Too… F * ck, he lost face … But Third Prince is so gentle. “

“It looks pretty good, what do you think?” Someone covered their eyes and peeked through the gaps between their fingers.

Many people nodded in agreement. Although the two of them were both male, one of them was tall and straight while the other was not tall. Both of them had handsome faces, which made their embrace quite pleasing to the eye.

Of course, there were also some soldiers with old-fashioned thoughts, feeling that this scene was a bit unconventional.

But no matter what kind of mentality they had, they couldn't care less about Yin Xu and Teng Yu.

Qixin looked at the two who were hugging each other, and thought of his wife and concubine at home.

“Go back, wash up and have a good meal first. The Emperor will definitely summon you to the palace for questioning later.”

Yin Xu sat up straight and stretched, “Then let's go back. I'm afraid that he won't have the time to call for me later.”

Yin Xu directly handed the Duke of Qin's family and the Second Prince to the guards the Emperor sent over. He didn't say a single unnecessary word and followed Teng Yu back. As for Qixin and the others, naturally, they had their own places to go to.

The two of them rode on the same horse, and under the gazes of the common folk of the capital, they began to show their love, blinding the eyes of many.

Just as they arrived at Third Prince Mansion, someone reported that the Duke of Qin and Second Prince were surrounded and rescued while they were being escorted into the palace. However, the other party did not succeed.

“Your Highness, the Second Prince is severely injured, and the Duke of Qin's household has lost a bastard son. His Majesty should have received the news by now.” Han Qing said while standing outside the pool.

“Mm, it's good that the Duke of Qin didn't run away. Although we have an agreement with him and won't interfere once we arrive in the capital, from my perspective, we still don't want him to escape.”

“Why?” Yin Xu closed his eyes and enjoyed Teng Yu's massage, from time to time, he would let out a comfortable moan or two. Standing outside the door to report, Han Qing could only keep his eyes on the surface of his shoes.

“He is no longer of much use. Even if he were to escape from the capital, he would not pose much of a threat to the Emperor. He would only become a thorn in the Emperor's heart.”

“Isn't that good?” Yin Xu turned his head to look at him. If the Duke of Qin could distract him, Teng Yu's plan would be much easier to carry out.

“In the short term, it will indeed benefit us, but once the Duke of Qin escapes the capital, it'll be like fish in the sea. It'll be hard to catch him again, and this prince doesn't want to waste more time and energy to find him in the future.”

Han Qing heard their conversation and supported Teng Yu's point of view, “Your Highness's words are reasonable, after Your Highness ascends the throne, the political situation will not be stable, if by chance the Duke of Qin chooses to make a move, we might not have enough people to handle it.”

“The Duke of Qin is too smart, even His Highness has been willing to admit defeat to his skill of patience. Of course, our Seventh Young Master is smarter than him, even the Duke of Qin can capture him so easily.” Teng Yu ordered for Han Qing to step back, to continue paying attention to the Imperial Palace's movements, and then, carrying Yin Xu out of the bathing pool and back to his room with a layer of outer clothing wrapped around him.

Yin Xu's entire body was still reeking of the essential oil, and he was being warmed up by the hot water, and his veins and muscles were massaged by Teng Yu, causing him to wake up.

Teng Yu carried her onto the bed, covered her with a blanket and kissed her forehead, “Sleep for a while, I will stop her after the Emperor sends someone over.”

Yin Xu lifted his eyelids and shot him a glance, his eyes filled with an enchanting moisture, “Are you sure you want to let me sleep here alone?”

The two of them had been together for more than half a year. Last time, they hadn't met for more than a few days, but now, they had been separated for more than a few months.

Teng Yu's adam's apple moved, he looked away with much difficulty, “Trawler took a long time to get here, you are tired too, let's … There's plenty of time at night. “

Yin Xu's gaze swept across his loose waist, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He stuck out an arm from under the blanket, which was smooth and slippery, grabbed hold of Teng Yu's arm, and raised his eyebrows: “This young master is tired, and needs to absorb some Profound Spirit Qi, so why haven't you quickly contributed it out!”

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth twitched, and then, he put down the bed sheets and immediately turned into a wolf, “You asked for this!”

Not long after, rapid breathing sounds could be heard from inside the bed curtain. The sturdy bed also let out a cracking sound, and the golden bed curtain fluttered to the left and right, releasing a sweet smell.
