Listening to his son's words, Prince Wan Yan furrowed his brows even tighter. Since Wan Yan Ming saw him until now, this phrase, Wan Yan Ming had repeated it over a hundred tis, making him extrely annoyed, not wanting to hear it anymore.
If it were in the past, Wan Yan Ming nagging him like this, he would have kicked him already. However, the current situation is different, Wan Yan Ming is seriously injured, and the complete loss of his ability to have children makes him quite anguished as well.
The Wanyan Family has reached this stage today, although with strong influence, it is short on offspring. In his generation, there is only this one son left, truly a solitary lineage. And now Wan Yan Ming is not yet married and has children. If he completely loses the ability to have children, the Wanyan Family would be completely extinct.
For an imperial family that has conspired for over a millennium, attempting to establish a nation in Fusang, extinction is simply the most tragic thing. Prince Wan Yan's heart is bleeding now, the family's thousand-year plan—could it be that it's all ending this ti? He's truly unwilling!
Although angry and unwilling in his heart, he still had to comfort his son: "Ming Er, don't be too sad. The one nad Ye, I will definitely not let him go. You first rest, heal your injury well, don't think too much!"
"Father, I'm like this now, what's the point of healing or not healing?" Wan Yan Ming gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I must see Ye Qing die in front of with my own eyes!"
Prince Wan Yan said, "Ming Er, don't believe too much in what those quack doctors say. Once Ye Qing is killed, I will imdiately take you to see King Yan Ning Qianshu. He is the successor of Divine Doctor An Shiping, he will definitely be able to heal your injury!"
Hearing this, a glimr of hope instantly ignited in Wan Yan Ming's eyes, he anxiously said, "Ning Qianshu, will... will he help heal?"
"Ning Qianshu is not Bai Li Xi, to seek treatnt from Ning Qianshu, you just need to present sothing that can move him!" Prince Wan Yan said softly, "Ming Er, don't worry. Our Wanyan Family has a heritage of over a thousand years, we definitely have sothing that can move Ning Qianshu. Even if our Wanyan Family's things cannot impress him, I will certainly find sothing that he will find impressive, I will definitely have him cure you!"
Wan Yan Ming finally cald down a bit, he lay back on the sofa slowly, but there was still obvious worry in his eyes.
Prince Wan Yan sat there for a while, still no news of Ye Qing's arrival, he couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and shouted loudly, "Soone!"
"My lord, what's wrong?" A man hurriedly ran in from outside.
Prince Wan Yan said sternly, "Still no news of Ye Qing?"
The man hurriedly said, "Not yet, but the brothers in the North Gate District have seen their car. They're definitely coming this way, and this place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the way out has already been blocked by our people, there is no news of them leaving. This suggests that they are most likely already in the city!"
"They've entered the city, so why haven't they arrived here yet?" Prince Wan Yan furrowed his brow and said sternly, "How long has it been? Four hours ago you told they had passed through, how co they still haven't entered the city by now?"
"This..." The man scratched his head, said softly, "My lord, we really haven't seen their car. Also, most of our n are stationed at the wharf. If they ca this way, we would definitely be able to spot them. However, since we haven't seen anyone until now, I guess they must be hiding sowhere. But, my lord, don't worry. The only route to cross the river here is this way, they definitely have to co through here. We just need to wait a little more patiently, they will definitely walk right into the trap!"
"Patiently wait until when!" Prince Wan Yan smacked the desk and said sternly, "That Ye Qing is extrely cunning, they haven't arrived for so long, they might have already chosen another path."
"This... this can't be, right?" The man shook his head repeatedly and said, "My lord, you know the terrain around Being River best. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the rushing river waters, they can't possibly cross the river by another path!"
"That's hard to say." Prince Wan Yan was silent for a mont, then suddenly said, "Imdiately send soone to search along the small paths outside the city."
"Small paths?" The man was stunned for a mont, not understanding what Prince Wan Yan ant.
"They might have chosen another route, imdiately send soone to find out for ." Prince Wan Yan said sternly.
The man said, "But, our... our manpower is insufficient, to do this we would have to take so people from the wharf too!"
"We must go and investigate!" Prince Wan Yan went to the window, looking at the wharf outside, he said sternly, "I will personally guard the wharf here. Even with fewer people, the one nad Ye cannot possibly pass this checkpoint!"
After listening to Prince Wan Yan, the man did not hesitate at all, responded imdiately, and hurriedly went out to gather people to investigate the small paths outside the city.
This city is also Prince Wan Yan's territory, so they are very familiar with the terrain around here. A few teams were sent out, and it didn't take long before they found the car that Ye Qing and his group left at the foot of the mountain.
Prince Wan Yan was stationed by the dock. Upon hearing that Ye Qing's car was found at the mountain's foot, his expression imdiately changed.
"Damn it, Ye Qing, that cunning scoundrel, is he trying to cross the river from that side?" Prince Wan Yan said in a deep voice.
"Isn't that impossible?" Wan Yan Ming said, surprised: "There are only mountains on that side, and going down the mountain ans facing cliffs. Not to ntion whether they can go down, just crossing the raging waters of the Being River seems entirely impossible. Who can get across?"
"Ye, with all his tricks, might co up with so harebrained idea!" Prince Wan Yan stood up and commanded the man in a deep voice: "Imdiately follow that mountain and chase downward for . Report any news right away!"
Watching the man walk away, Prince Wan Yan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "I estimate that Ye has already crossed the Being River!"
"Huh?" Wan Yan Ming sat up imdiately and said anxiously, "He... he shouldn't be able to cross the Being River, right? The river is so swift; how could he possibly get across?"
"If they dare to go that way, they must have a way to cross the river." Prince Wan Yan said.
"What should we do then?" Wan Yan Ming was a bit flustered and said urgently, "Could we... could we just let Ye go like that?"
"Hmph, Ye Qing, that scoundrel, thinks that by crossing the Being River and stepping onto Helian Tiehua's territory, I won't dare pursue and kill him?" Prince Wan Yan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The battle between the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls is about to break out; Helian Tiehua is now too busy to care whether I step into the ng District or not. Hmph, the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance are far inferior to the Twelve Green Halls' current strength. I see Helian Tiehua's defeat as inevitable, and he's fundantally not a concern. This ti, even if Ye Qing steps into the ng District, I will personally go there and bring him back!"
Listening to Prince Wan Yan's words, Wan Yan Ming was also trembling with excitent. He looked at Prince Wan Yan with enthusiasm and said, "For so many years, Helian Tiehua sits in the ng District, and no one dares to challenge him. Father, once you capture Ye Qing in this battle, your fa will spread throughout the world."
Prince Wan Yan glanced at Wan Yan Ming, and if it weren't for Wan Yan Ming's current injuries, he would really want to kick him. Such fa, even if it spreads, what significance does it hold? If not for the matter of Yelu Ying, solely due to the feud with Ye Qing, he would never step into the ng District. Although his son's affairs anger him greatly, Prince Wan Yan is very clear about what it ans to accumulate strength over ti. His current strength is not sufficient to provoke Helian Tiehua, so he wouldn't step into the ng District unless absolutely necessary.
However, this ti, involving Yelu Ying changes the situation. The Yelu Family also descends from the Imperial Family, with a millennium of accumulation that is extraordinary. If he could obtain things from the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb, his strength would surely surge, and he would then have the power to contend for the world. Therefore, no matter what, he must bring Yelu Ying back this ti, even if it ans offending Helian Tiehua!
While his n went out to find clues about Ye Qing, Prince Wan Yan also directly arranged for a team of capable subordinates, instructed them to change into ordinary clothes, disguise themselves, and prepare to cross the Being River to pursue Ye Qing and his group.
Just after Prince Wan Yan finished the arrangents, his subordinates reported back with news: Ye Qing and his group had indeed crossed the river!
"How is this possible?" Hearing this news, Wan Yan Ming almost jumped off the couch; this was beyond what he could imagine.
Prince Wan Yan was more prepared ntally, so he wasn't too shocked upon hearing this. However, upon learning that Ye Qing and his group crossed the river using ropes, Prince Wan Yan was sowhat surprised.
Prince Wan Yan is well aware of the raging speed of the Being River's water. Crossing the river tied with ropes is not an easy feat. How Ye Qing managed to do it made him curious, and he couldn't help but sowhat admire Ye Qing. Although Ye Qing is his enemy, he has to concede that Ye Qing's strategies are indeed exceptional.
Having learned that Ye Qing has already crossed the Being River, Prince Wan Yan's preparations were just in ti to be put to use. He took a dozen people, got into three cars, and directly boarded a boat to cross the dock.
Although Helian Tiehua's subordinates were guarding the dock, these people had never seen Prince Wan Yan before. Even if Prince Wan Yan crossed the river personally, they wouldn't recognize his identity, allowing Prince Wan Yan and his people to cross the dock smoothly.
"Great King, where are we going now?" The driver in front asked in a low voice as they drove away from the dock.
"To the nearest town!" Prince Wan Yan replied with closed eyes.
"The nearest town?" Everyone was a bit surprised, seeing Prince Wan Yan's confident deanor, it also piqued their curiosity, wondering how Prince Wan Yan made this choice.
"They've been driving the whole day, and after just crossing the river, they're definitely soaked, their clothes drenched. With so many wounded, exhausted, cold, and hungry, they're sure to find a place to rest first!" Prince Wan Yan glanced at the people up front and said coldly, "They think that crossing the Being River made them completely safe, so they're certainly heading to the nearest town to rest first!"
