Chapter 228: Snatching the Crown Prince’s Carriage
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qi Tianyou was propelled out of the carriage, landing right in front of Feng Tianlan. Faced with Feng Tianlan’s intense and menacing stare, he found his breath hitching involuntarily. Internally, he cursed his luck for taking such a turn. Had he foreseen this, he would have opted to feign ignorance and make a swift departure.
However, it was too late for regrets now that he was already here.
Qi Tianyou bravely grabbed Feng Tianlan’s arm, despite his apprehension. “Lord Lan, my apologies!”
They entered the carriage, and as the curtain, adorned with delicate golden motifs, descended, it provided a barrier against curious onlookers.
Qi Tianyou didn’t dare to look too much, draping his own cloak over Feng Tianlan’s shoulders. He cleared his throat and spoke with a distracted gaze, “Lord Lan, you need not worry. I won’t reveal anything to the public.”
Luckily, Feng Tianlan’s identity remained enigmatic, and his appearances in Tianjing were infrequent. It was unlikely that many familiar individuals here would be able to identify him.
With this realization, Qi Tianyou’s sense of misfortune deepened.
Why did he have to run into him of all people?
Feng Tianlan remained silent, his face as cold as a block of ice, and his dark eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light.
Qi Tianyou was extremely curious.
Which audacious warrior dared to insult the renowned Lord Lan of the Cloud Plains Continent like this?
However, he didn’t dare to ask Feng Tianlan, fearing that the latter might end his life.
Seeing Feng Tianlan motionless, he asked with concern, “Lord Lan, what’s happened to you?”
It appeared as if he might have been poisoned; otherwise, considering Lord Lan’s abilities, who could have left him in such a condition?
Feng Tianlan didn’t answer his question but cast him a deathly gaze. When Qi Tianyou wisely sealed his lips, Feng Tianlan closed his eyes.
His body was impervious to all toxins; most poisons had no effect on him.
Yet Gu Qingluan’s poison managed to restrain him.
He silently chanted an incantation, secretly channeling his energy.
Qi Tianyou, like a quail, obediently huddled aside and didn’t dare to disturb him.
After a moment, Feng Tianlan opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flickered in his deep and profound gaze.
Qi Tianyou immediately looked over. “Lord Lan, didn’t you return to the Holy Heaven Dynasty? Why are you alone here? Where are your guards?”
Feng Tianlan didn’t answer his question. “Take me to Liu Yang Lane.”
Qi Tianyou instructed the coachman to change their route to Liu Yang Lane.
“Get out!” Feng Tianlan commanded right after.
Qi Tianyou could not believe his ears.
Meeting Feng Tianlan’s profound gaze, Qi Tianyou reluctantly nodded.
“Alright, alright, 1’11 leave this carriage to you.”
He lifted the curtain and stepped outside the carriage.
“Bring me my horse!”
Having lost his carriage, he commandeered a guard’s horse.
The guards didn’t dare to complain.
Only the close bodyguard furrowed his brow in secret; how could that Lord Lan be so audacious, even snatching the Crown Prince’s carriage!
Thank goodness His Royal Highness had a good temperament. If it were any other prince, they would have kicked him out long ago.
After tossing Feng Tianlan onto the street, Gu Qingluan made a hasty escape.
Once the initial excitement faded, a sense of worry began to creep in.
The success of her earlier mischief had mainly been due to his lack of vigilance. With this recent setback, he’d surely become more cautious, making it difficult to outmaneuver him again.
In terms of martial strength alone, she wasn’t a match for him.
Shaking her head to dispel her concerns.
She held onto the principle of “Adapt and overcome,” using it as her guiding philosophy.
Since that fellow was willing to take her as his wife, he shouldn’t be so quick to end her life.
As long as she wasn’t dead, what was there to fear?
Better to focus on finding her child’s whereabouts.
Jing Feng, his loyal guard, had journeyed with him from the Holy Heaven Dynasty to this location, indicating a comprehensive understanding of his matters.
The man with the surname Feng was tight-lipped, but she doubted she couldn’t pry open even a guard’s mouth..
