460 YUN! (1/2)
”That is impossible…” Senja mumbled.
They had everything planned for God knew how long and they said everything would be alright, they had all the resources that they needed. Even the last letter from them said that they have everything under controlled, but why news like this, that they heard now?
Meanwhile, Qianru had dropped to the ground with glistening eyes while hugging Xiao Mugi who was still confused to catch up with their conversation.
Senja walked over to her side and put her hands on her shoulder, giving her a gentle squeezed. She was also unsure what she should do at the time like this, she had no clue.
Her heart was throbbing in pain while her mind was messing with her, its endlessly sending morbid images for her to see. Her imagination running wild toward wrong direction that made her felt even worse.
”Where are you going?” Senja asked with shaking voice. Her blood rushed on her head, trying to figure out what she should do now.
”We left the Q city and now we are on the way to my cousin house at the southern village, it's save and we can start everything from there.” Yu Long added with generosity. ”Why don't you come with us while thinking about what you will do next?”
As though emphasizing her husband words, Yu Long's wife nodding her head and smile sheepishly. ”We don't have luxury to offer, but it will be comfortable enough for the three of you.”
Senja glanced over at Qianru who was quivering in her tears, she just lost her child and now she got the news about her husband being in predicament situation…
Senja was trembling when she sensed her feeling.
However, southern village was in the opposite direction of L city, but if she insisted to go there now, Qianru would be determined to come as well and they couldn't leave Xiao Mugi by his own.
Qianru didn't know martial arts and with a child tag along, it wasn't a good combination to enter a battlefield. Senja wasn't sure, no… she was sure that she couldn't protect them against the whole army of the enemies by her own.
But, if it was only her, she could move easier and used her ability to breakthrough if it was necessary.
”Yes, please. Can we come with you?” Senja decided to settle Qianru and Xiao Mugi down first before she headed to L city.
”Sure.” Yu Long smiled brightly and his wife help Qianru to stand up. ”My carriage is over there.” He pointed to the direction on his left side.
It was the same carriage that he used when he helped Senja two months ago.
”I don't have much…” Senja approached Yu Long to hand him a small pocket of money when Qianru and Xiao Mugi has been led to the direction of the carriage by Yu Long's wife. ”I hope this enough.”
Looking at the things that Senja gave to him, Yu Long frowned and gave it back to her, saying. ”You had given me enough the last time we met.” He said, trying to make Senja kept the money with her. ”Moreover, my father was a soldier when Emperor Xiao Zhong still ruled the Kingdom of Azura. He was the loyal one if I could add. He will be proud of me if he knows I help the Princes' family.” Yu Long winked at her playfully.
It was true when he said Senja had given him a lot of money when the first time they met. After all, the girl bought all of his goods.
”If you said so…” Senja put back the money in her pocket. She would definitely need this.
.....
It was a little bit crowded when the three of them got inside the carriage, but still left enough space for them to relax.
Meanwhile, Senja was sitting on the coachmen seat with Yu Long. Both of them barely talking as Senja was too occupied with her own thought.
Her purple hair wrapped tightly inside her turban, so she wouldn't draw unnecessary attention, but it piqued Yu Long interest.
”Why are you always wearing a turban?” He asked while controlling the three horses that were pulled their carriage.
