Chapter 1284: Chapter 1090, The Little Prince Xiao’s Tender Around the Finger (2)

"Jinling Guard at work, stand down immediately!"

Seeing Xiao Moxi take action, the other Jinling Guards quickly surrounded the area.

The stationmaster’s face changed when he saw the Jinling Guard’s badge. He hurriedly signaled the soldiers to stop and greeted them with a forced smile, repeatedly claiming it was all a misunderstanding.

It had to be said, officials genuinely feared the Jinling Guard. Even for those who weren’t afraid, almost no one wanted to cross them.

Having served as an official for a long time, who didn’t have a bit of dirt on them?

At this moment, Xiao Moxi and Ye Yueying instinctively recoiled away from each other as if struck by lightning.

With the soldiers standing down, Ye Yueying slightly lowered her head, trying to hide her flushed cheeks. Leng Feng came to her side and coldly questioned Xiao Moxi, "Can we leave now?"

Xiao Moxi clenched his fist behind his back and nodded. "Of course, please feel free."

With that, Leng Feng and Ye Yueying immediately mounted their horses and left the station.

Once their figures disappeared into the distance, Xiao Moxi finally brought out the hand hidden behind his back and muttered while staring at it, "A woman?"

Even through thick layers of clothing, that soft sensation had unmistakably reached his palm.

"Brother Xi, is your hand injured?"

Seeing Xiao Moxi staring at his hand in a daze, Wu Yutang stepped forward in concern to check.

Hearing this, Xiao Moxi hastily withdrew his hand, the awkwardness on his face vanishing in an instant. "I’m fine," he said, turning his gaze to the stationmaster.

"You, stationmaster! How could your station allow outsiders to infiltrate, and under your watch no less? Since when has Daxia’s station security become so lax?"

"And when those outsiders caused trouble, where were you with your soldiers to assist? But as soon as the situation was resolved, you show up and indiscriminately start detaining people. I must say, your method of handling things has been quite... enlightening!"

The stationmaster couldn’t figure out what rank or authority these Jinling Guards represented, so he could only awkwardly repeat that it was all a misunderstanding.

Xiao Moxi, seeing through the stationmaster’s evasive tactics, knew this man was a seasoned bureaucrat. Unwilling to waste time arguing with him, Xiao Moxi turned to interrogate the still-living outsider directly.

As for the aftermath and care for the injured civilians, he delegated it entirely to his subordinates, deliberately bypassing the stationmaster.

...

Having left the station, Leng Feng and Ye Yueying rode briskly toward Haqi City. However, after barely traveling more than ten miles, Leng Feng’s horse could no longer continue.

"This horse was injured during the skirmish earlier."

Leng Feng frowned deeply as he examined the bloodstains on the horse’s hind leg. Taking out some golden sore medicine, he treated the horse’s wounds.

By this time, darkness was beginning to fall, and the two had no choice but to make camp where they were. They lit a fire, sitting silently by it as they ate some dry rations.

During this time, Leng Feng hesitated before finally speaking to Ye Yueying, "At the station earlier, you were too impulsive. We should avoid any contact with the Jinling Guard."

"If those Jinling Guards had sided with the stationmaster and other officials, do you realize how much trouble we could have been in? Even if we managed to escape, our mission here in Liaodong would have failed entirely."

Ye Yueying’s gaze flickered. "Uncle Leng, I won’t act rashly again next time." The reason she couldn’t hold back earlier was that the Jinling Guards were genuinely fighting the outsiders. She couldn’t bear to see people of Daxia fall at the hands of intruders.

Seeing that she understood, Leng Feng said no more.

The flickering firelight cast their surroundings into shifting shadows. The crackling of burning wood filled the silence as they rested against a tree, their eyes closed for a brief respite.

Just before dawn, Leng Feng’s eyes suddenly snapped open, followed closely by Ye Yueying.

"The smell of blood..."

Leng Feng stood up and walked quickly toward the horses. "We must leave here immediately."

At that moment, Xiao Moxi and his group from the station suddenly appeared in their line of sight, trailing behind them were dozens of black-clad men.

"Go!"

The expressions of both Leng Feng and Ye Yueying changed dramatically. They swiftly mounted their horses and fled.

Still, it wasn’t long before Xiao Moxi and his group caught up with them.

Xiao Moxi hadn’t wanted to drag them into this conflict, but this stretch of terrain had only one official road. With mountains flanking both sides, they had no other choice.

With that, he suddenly grabbed Ye Yueying by the waist. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
