Chapter 1164: Hubby Also Dislikes It
At this time, two steeds had swiftly galloped over. Accompanied by a young general, the General of Military Might, Shi Guangfeng (also the eldest young master of the State Duke of Qing’s Estate), cupped his fists toward the Vassal Prince of An’nan, Chou Fu. “Guangfeng has come to greet General’s escort on the king’s order.”
“I’ll be troubling General Shi.” The Vassal Prince of An’nan nodded tepidly without a change in his stern expression.
“By the king’s decree, the Northern Qi Kingdom’s prisoners of war will temporarily be escorted to the North Battalion’s prison and kept under strict watch.”
“After you, Vassal Prince.” Shi Guangfeng gestured, his gaze inadvertently glancing in Crown Prince Mo’s direction.
The Vassal Prince of An’nan, Chou Fu, swept Shi Guangfeng a faint glance before nodding. He then urged his horse forward to the King’s Palace for an audience with the king.
The young crown prince consort pointed at those shabbily-clothed prisoners of war and looked up at Crown Prince Mo. However, she saw that he had squinted his eyes in contemplation.
“Hubby?”
While looking down at her in amusement, Crown Prince Mo poked her small chin. “What do you want to tell Hubby?”
“Dislike,” remarked the young crown prince consort as she knitted her delicate brows in displeasure.
Even though it was vague, Crown Prince Mo really was the person who understood his beloved wife the most in the world.
Back in those days when his darling didn’t feel like saying even a single word, he was instantly able to comprehend her intent with just a glance, let alone now.
The little fellow was saying that she didn’t like how those soldiers were atrociously bullying the debilitated elderly man.
“Hubby also dislikes it.” Crown Prince Mo immediately nodded, taking his beloved wife’s side without caring for his principles. “Wait until Hubby returns and learns about the situation. Let’s return to the palace first.”
However, just as he planned to steer the horse away, he saw that the young general Shi Guangfeng had brought with him had gotten into a conflict with two of the Vassal Prince of An’nan’s military officers.
The young general’s name was Shi Zhong, a trusted and valued aide of the General of Military Might, Shi Guangfeng.
At this time, Shi Zhong and the Vassal Prince of An’nan’s two military officers were glowering at each other angrily.
“No means no. You cannot bring away these two people!” The Vassal Prince of An’nan’s subordinate who was middle-aged with broad facial features barked, “These two are not Northern Qi Kingdom’s prisoners of war. They are merfolk that our general captured and specially brought back to the capital to extract their naga pearls so he can present them to his mother, the Vassal King Consort of An’nan!”
“You cannot bring them away.”
The two merfolk, young ladies around 18 or 19 years old, were wearing ragged white middle layer garments. They curled up inside the prisoners’ carriage, shivering while silently shedding tears.
“How can you prove that these two people are merfolk?” Shi Zhong declared, “By the king’s order, this humble general is to escort all prisoners of war to the North Battalion. Are you people planning to disobey a royal decree?”
“Bullsh*t!!” The broad-faced man started ranting, “Are you incapable of comprehending human speech? I said these gals aren’t Northern Qi Kingdom’s prisoners of war! They are mermaids. Because naga pearls become ineffective less than an hour after leaving the body, our Lord Vassal Prince specially escorted them back to the capital so he could choose when to extract them from their bodies. Do you understand, ah?”
“Old Jia, since he doesn’t believe you, then open his eyes.” The other vulgar-looking young general suddenly smiled. He struck his whip against his palm before lashing out at the prisoners’ carriage.
With this thrash at the prisoners’ carriage, the end of the whip tore the cloth on one of the mermaid’s legs, revealing a section of her fair calf.
“Don’t worry. You see that these are legs right now, but when you look again later, it’ll be a mermaid tail.” That young general made a move to thrash his whip again with a lewd look in his eyes.
