HBBMAWH Chapter 103

“I am not just some random person. I… I am…” Yan Cai’s words got stuck in his mouth for a while, still feeling very awkward. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t speak like the real prince he had seen before.

Be bold, I am the Carefree Prince!

He really couldn’t say such things.

Without giving him another chance to organize his thoughts and speak, several guards moved to push him away. What kind of nonsense is this about not being just anyone? How could there be children in the military camp?

This guy also brought his child here. He must be a villager from a small town ten miles away.

The sharp blade of the guard’s iron spear thrust towards Yan Cai, warning him to leave with the child, otherwise, their weapon wouldn’t discriminate..

The blade came very close, almost poking Qingke’s face. Anger flashed across Yan Cai’s face, and the green twig in his sleeve started to wriggle.

The guard was stunned for a moment. There was a moment when he felt that the extremely handsome young man in front of him was very terrifying, emitting a murderous aura. Was he mistaken?

In a blink of an eye, a stone flew from a distance and hit the handle of the guard’s weapon with great force. The guard immediately let go, feeling a tingling sensation as his hand was shaken painfully.

With a brush, the green branches retracted. As the killing intent on Yan Cai dissipated, at that moment, he unexpectedly exuded killing intent that he hadn’t felt in a long time…

Since coming to this world, he hadn’t felt anything like this for a long, long time. Yan Cai’s hands were shaking a little, and he suddenly didn’t know whether he was right or wrong in bringing his son here.

He even began to doubt whether coming here himself was right or wrong.

Jiang Manyue had just arrived when he saw the guard’s iron spearhead pointed at his son. His heart tightened, and without hesitation, he used a stone to knock off the spearhead. Feeling a cold sweat down his back at this moment, when he walked to Yan Cai’s side, he sensed that something was amiss.

Yan Cai’s state was very unusual. Jiang Manyue put his hand on his shoulder, and Yan Cai snapped out of it, looking somewhat distressed.

“Are you scared?”

Yan Cai shook his head and said nothing.

The accompanying imperial guards also witnessed the scene just now and immediately drew their swords without a word. The Emperor’s command to them was clear – protect the prince at all costs!

In this situation just now, they did not protect the prince properly, and they deserved to be punished. As for those who harmed the prince, they deserved death! The imperial guards all unsheathed their large swords!

The camp guards were frightened by the sight of the large silver-white swords being brandished by the other’s guards. The imposing aura emanating from these guards far surpassed that of ordinary soldiers, causing the camp guards to shrink back.

The troops behind them, who were in training, also halted their steps. Seeing this scene, they thought that enemies had brazenly infiltrated their camp!

If you draw your sword, I won’t just stand by. One after another, the soldiers in training also raised their weapons and headed towards the camp gate.

One after another, when the people behind saw the people in front behaving like this, they grabbed that person and asked what happened. They were told that it was an enemy attack, and they reacted as if facing a great enemy!

Suddenly, news of the enemy attack spread rapidly throughout the entire camp, and even the signal horns for defense were blown.

Chen Nan, who arrived shortly afterward, sighed deeply, wondering what was happening.

“Stop! Stop! Everyone, calm down! There’s no enemy attack!”

However, it’s easier to spread rumors than to quell them, and it was no longer something Chen Nan could stop on his own. Although the people at the gate had put down their weapons, the entire camp was in turmoil, and the news that it was only a false alarm couldn’t spread quickly enough.

The news of the enemy attack reached Liu Neng. He was shocked and immediately stood up from studying military strategies, dropping the book he was holding to the ground, and spilling the water he had been about to drink.

“The people of Beirong are so audacious? They’ve come to our doorstep?” Liu Neng was astonished and quickly went to find his military adviser, Gu Ren, who was reading some letter.

As soon as Gu Ren saw him, he quickly put away the letter, but his expression remained calm, showing no signs of nervousness. Therefore, Liu Neng didn’t think much about it and didn’t inquire about the letter.

Liu Neng anxiously said: “Oh no, Beirong is too rampant. They’ve actually come straight to our camp. Master Gu, quickly go out and see what’s going on. What should we do?”

Gu Ren’s couldn’t maintain his composure  any longer; his facial expression became extremely eerie, appearing even more shocked than Liu Neng. How could this be possible? How could he not know they were supposed to attack the Chen Dynasty today?

However, Liu Neng had no idea what Gu Ren was thinking. Seeing him equally shocked, he thought Gu Ren was also stunned by Beirong’s audacious behavior.

“Mr. Gu, do you also think Beirong has gone mad?”

“Yeah,” Gu Ren replied listlessly, his mind elsewhere.

“What should I do?” Liu Neng was too preoccupied with his own anxiety, pacing back and forth without looking at Gu Ren. “How can this be? None of the military strategies I’ve studied mentioned anything like this. How can we fight like this, Master Gu? Master Gu?”

Finally noticing Gu Ren’s unusual behavior, Liu Neng called out to him several times.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you also troubled?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just thinking about something. It’s not a big deal. You’re too anxious,” Gu Ren reassured Liu Neng, trying to calm him down. “Don’t forget, you’re the son of General Hu. Your father was outstanding, and you will be too. Don’t panic. Your father wouldn’t panic in such a situation.”

“You’re right, then what should I do.”

“Let’s go out and take a look first.” Gu Ren said. He didn’t believe that Xierli would suddenly stop contacting him at all and rush straight to the Chen Dynasty’s military camp.

Not to mention that Xiheli was not that stupid, and the Chen Dynasty’s soldiers were not that blind either to not realize it until the enemy reached their doorstep.

After walking out, the soldiers outside saw Liu Neng and asked, “General Liu! Is there an enemy attack outside? What should we do? Please instruct us!”

Before Liu Neng could speak, Gu Ren advised them to wait and see what happened.

As they reached the entrance of the camp, they found it already crowded with soldiers, and the noise was chaotic. Seeing Liu Neng and Gu Ren coming, the soldiers made way for them one after another.

But when asked about the situation, none could give a clear answer.

“Reporting to the general, we don’t know what’s going on. There are too many people ahead, and we can’t see,” one soldier said. Well, here was another person who acted without knowing the truth, just hearing the call to defend.

After squeezing to the front, Liu Neng saw Chen Nan and became furious. Chen Nan had always been at odds with him. Even now, with Liu Neng in command and Chen Nan as his subordinate, Chen Nan remained stubborn and disrespectful.

This person only respects General Wang’s authority and has always been disdainful towards others. He’s very stubborn; last time he was caught breaking the rules and was beaten, but his attitude remains the same.

The chaotic scene now seemed to be orchestrated by Chen Nan. Liu Neng knew he would cause trouble.

Liu Neng said angrily: “Chen Nan, what are you doing!?”

While Liu Neng took the opportunity to vent his anger at Chen Nan, Gu Ren’s eyes fell on the unfamiliar figure in front of him. Two individuals who looked very refined, with fair skin and handsome features, one of them eerily holding a child.

Behind them stood a group of guards who appeared extraordinary, far beyond ordinary soldiers.

This is…

He had received a letter from the capital, stating that a prince was coming. Judging by the appearance of the person in front of him, seemingly fragile and vulnerable, hardly able to withstand a blow. Originally, most of his doubts were dispelled upon learning he was a prince. Now, seeing this person, he indeed resembles the image of the Chen Dynasty prince he had imagined.

No matter which one of them is the prince, they all have the delicate appearance of Chen Dynasty nobility, far from being comparable to the Beirong people who grew up on horseback.

Dealing with these inexperienced Chen Dynasty nobles is too easy. Although the original eldest prince didn’t come, the one who had come was nothing more than a useless figurehead.
