106 The Story was Real (2/2)
Prince Lu Wei nodded. ”The physician said that my wound has almost healed. I was thinking about paying a visit to the Emperor of Da Cheng to thank him for looking after me. Sent word to the palace that I am planning to visit tomorrow,” he took out a small bags filled with ingots and handed it to the servant. ”This is for you to share with the others.”
The servant's eyes were wide with excitement as he saw the silver ingot. Then, he stealthily hid it into his sleeve. ”Yes, Your Highness. I will do as instructed.”
”I am a little tired and will be taking a nap,” Prince Lu Wei said. ”Please do not let anyone disturb me until it's dinner time.”
”Certainly,” the servant bowed and retreated.
Prince Lu Wei waited until the sound of footsteps disappeared before he went into his chamber to change his outfit. Then, he observed his surroundings and waited for the perfect chance to sneak out.
If he had a choice, he would choose not to sneak around. However, he needed to send a few words to his men or else; the others might get worried.
Prince Lu Wei waited behind the wall and saw the servant gathering with a few others as they discussed how to divide the reward.
It was his chance to sneak out.
Meanwhile, in the deep forest near Da Cheng's Western Border, Yang Yun, and his teammates sneaked quietly through the woods and stopped once they heard the sound of water streaming.
Yang Yun turned to his teammates and gestured with his hands. Two of the Elite soldiers nodded and hurriedly climbed on the tree to observe their surrounding.
A few weeks ago, he received a mission from His Majesty for a search and rescue mission. A group of men sent by His Majesty to transport provisions to the western part of Da Cheng which had suffered from the flood last year. After that flood, the officials had a debate, and the Emperor had agreed to construct a dam to control the flood.
Not long ago, the Emperor sent a group of people to sent the supply needed. However, the group was reported as missing. The army stationed at the Western Border sent a letter to the Emperor to request help, and Yang Yun and his team were assigned to help his fellow army brothers.
