Chapter 108 Life and Death
However, after hearing Mingyue's words, Yang Ling simply smiled indifferently, without showing any concern on his face.
He has weathered many storms along the way, including assassinations. With so many experts protecting him and such a powerful weapon hidden on his person, it's hard to tell who is afraid of whom.
"Don't worry, we'll be safer the closer we get to the capital."
Yang Ling fiddled with the antique in her hand, gazing idly out the window. The place was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, perfect for a stroll.
"Pass down the order: we will set up camp here for a while and set off again tomorrow!"
When Yang Ling suddenly said those words, Mingyue, who was standing to the side, could hardly believe her ears.
At this rate, we should be able to reach the capital by tomorrow morning. So why choose to stay here at this particular time?
Although she had many questions in her mind, she was, after all, just a guard by Yang Ling's side, and therefore did not have the right to ask too many questions.
Once all the accompanying vehicles had come to a stop, Yang Ling looked at Mingyue with an indescribable smile on her lips.
"Your Highness, if there is anything you need me to do, please don't hesitate to ask."
Mingyue also sensed that Yang Ling seemed to have something for her to do, so she couldn't help but ask.
Yang Ling chuckled and pointed to a mountain ridge not far in front of him.
"Take two of your best brothers and go into the mountains to hunt some game for me. I'll treat you to a barbecue today."
Yang Ling hadn't eaten barbecue since she transmigrated to the other world, and now she really missed it.
This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, so it would be a shame not to have a barbecue here.
Although Mingyue was somewhat puzzled, Yang Ling had already given the order, so she led her people into the depths of the mountains without saying a word.
Yang Ling looked around and chose a good spot, then ordered his men to search for firewood in the surrounding area.
The dozen or so men in black standing not far away were somewhat puzzled when they saw this scene.
"My lord, the Ninth Prince is of noble status, so why is he so careless in his work?"
"You don't know anything, this is called refined taste."
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the leader of the men in black cursed. After spending so much time together, his impression of the Ninth Prince had changed somewhat.
If I can follow such a master in the future, I can at least live a carefree life, if not have a bright future.
"Your Highness, there must be delicious food in this flowing water. I will go and catch two fish for you right away."
The leader of the men in black ripped off his veil and walked up to Yang Ling like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, saying these words as if seeking credit.
Yang Ling smiled faintly; he liked people who knew how to adapt to the times.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. Catch more, and I'll show off my culinary skills to everyone today."
In his previous life, Yang Ling loved barbecue the most. Although he is a prince in this life, these people have escorted him all the way.
If I were to give them some money, I wouldn't have much money of my own, so I could only personally grill and roast them.
The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was just right, and there were seven or eight deer, more than twenty wild rabbits, and three large baskets full of fish.
Yang Ling started barbecuing under everyone's watchful eyes. Although it was somewhat simple, it didn't matter.
"My lord, has the Ninth Prince always been like this?"
The leader of the men in black walked up to Mingyue and asked her a question in a daze. Mingyue nodded numbly. She knew that the Ninth Prince was easygoing, but she didn't know that he was this easygoing.
As a prince, personally grilling meat for these people clearly shows that he treats them as his own.
From now on, I will absolutely pledge my loyalty to the death.
"My prince has always been like this. I wonder if he would be interested in coming over?"
Mingyue glanced at the men in black beside her. These men were sent by Chen Ming to escort her. If she could recruit them all, wouldn't she have nothing to worry about in the future?
Upon hearing this, the man in black was already secretly delighted.
"We beg you, sir, to introduce us. We will swear to serve you to the death."
"it is good."
Mingyue nodded and walked to Yang Ling's side.
When the men in black saw Mingyue walk over, they quickly followed.
"Your Highness."
Mingyue stood behind and called out softly.
Yang Ling was currently grilling the food with great care. This was lunch prepared for everyone, so he naturally had to take it seriously.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
After Yang Ling replied, she looked up at Mingyue and then noticed the men in black behind her.
"Your Highness, I feel we still have too few guards!"
As soon as Mingyue uttered those words, Yang Ling instantly understood what the woman was trying to say. With a faint smile on his lips, he looked up at the people in front of him.
"I understand your meaning. Those who follow me will naturally not be treated unfairly."
The implication of those words was quite clear, and the people behind him were excited upon hearing it.
"Alright, everything that needs to be grilled is ready. Let everyone come and eat."
……
Everyone ate with great enjoyment, but the little boy they had taken in earlier glanced at them and then hurried off into the dense forest not far away.
After walking for about two or three minutes, I saw an old man sitting there.
"Second Master, the people around the Ninth Prince have lowered their guard. We can make our move now!"
The little boy's speech had long lost its previous childishness; he now appeared extremely sinister and cunning.
That's not the expression of a teenage boy at all.
Upon hearing this, the second master smiled slightly and reached out to pat the little boy's head.
“Go back and stay by his side now. If we fail this time, you will continue to lie low and wait for the opportunity to avenge us.”
When the Second Master finished speaking, a sinister glint flashed across his face.
"Ok!"
The little boy nodded and turned to leave.
"Are we really going to do this? The Ninth Prince has many secret guards protecting him."
The second master snorted coldly and said with a disdainful look.
"Those so-called secret guards are nothing but a bunch of useless trash. I'd like to see just how capable they are."
……
"Here, take a sip."
Yang Ling was drinking and eating meat with the others, living a very happy life.
Everyone had long since lost all sense of caution, as if there was no danger at all in this place.
But in the next second, a hidden arrow came flying straight at us.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Mingyue saw an arrow heading towards Yang Ling's position and quickly warned him before turning around and pulling him away.
"Oh!"
With a thud, the arrow pierced the ground.
"Ha ha……"
A burst of laughter erupted, and suddenly countless people wielding bows and arrows appeared, surrounding them all. Each person was armed and wore a ferocious grin.
