“Ap-what?! You are the Princess of the Imperial Medicinal King Bei, Princess Baili Yan?!” stuttering one of the gate guard soldiers with a deathly pale face.
“Yes, right,” replied the Red-Methed Girl while raising her eyebrows with a casual look and folding both her hands in front of her chest indifferently.
Instantly, the two gate guard soldiers knelt down to beg for his forgiveness.
They claim to be wrong to have acted without seeing who the master or master of the person they are hunting. In fact, the two of them directly requested that Baili Yan not report this matter to Imperial Emperor Nan.
Zhao Jun who saw this, only sighed silently.
“Fyuh!”
He knew very well that in the Nan Empire that highly valued even prioritizing everything related to this medicine or medicine, the strength of the King Medicines of the Bei Empire was extremely high.
Even if this Medicinal King was a native of the neighboring empire.
With the good relations that the two countries have forged, there has never been any problem. Moreover, it used to be that the relationship of the Medicinal King was indeed very good with the original Zhao Jun, when he was still alive and managing the Heavenly Medicine Hall.
In fact, the strength of the Medicinal King himself could now be on par with the kings of the region part of the Nan Empire.
Which then made one word that came out from the mouth of the Medicinal King and Princess Baili Yan as powerful as the speech of the King of the Sections even the Emperor of the Nan Empire itself.
“Go!” baili Yan concluded arrogantly in the end.
“H-hah?! Thank you, thank you very much, Princess Baili! We excuse you!” both the gate guard soldiers said quickly.
Afterwards, the two of them left behind Baili Yan and Zhao Jun.
Now, the mood of silence returns.
Zhao Jun stood in silence and Baili Yan seemed to be still busy observing the figures of the two gatekeepers until it completely disappeared from sight.
Zhao Jun himself stood up now realizing that he was standing up with a hint of bells. He had to reduce the pressure on his right leg and increase the weight of the pedestal on his left leg as a sprain effect on his right leg earlier.
“I have to treat it after arriving home,” murmured slowly.
Surprisingly, Baili Yan heard it.
“What?” He looked at her with a sharp look, full of question marks.
As a martial practitioner, it seemed that his auditory sense abilities were more sensitive than ordinary people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hear Zhao Jun's shrill mutterings.
Zhao Jun touched the hood of his robe and nodded slowly. “True, Princess.”
“Thank you very much for the help you gave just now. I will definitely reply to him later. But for now, I have urgent business. Please Princess Baili not offended.”
Hearing him, Baili Yan immediately glared sharply. He extended his hand that was holding the fan towards Zhao Juns face.
“You! How dare you say that?! And indeed, I allow you?! Remember that! If it wasn't for me, you'd be arrested by them by now.”
Before Zhao Jun interrupted him, Baili Yan resumed his words.
“Oh! Or put it this way.”
“Because you seem to be in such a hurry to leave, not even the slightest bit noticed the 'face' of this Medicinal King's daughter, either, then I will happily call those two guards and speak honestly to them!”
Zhao Jun grimaced. He did not know that the daughter of the Medicinal King was extremely arrogant and haughty. However, if viewed from any point of view, he deserves to speak so.
“I don't mean to, but I really have a business. I must go to the Heavenly Medicine Hall before dawn, Princess Baili,” Zhao Jun replied after a few seconds of silence.
Baili Yan's expression changed. He lowered his hand and ruffled his waist with a curiously straight look at Zhao Jun.
“You ... want to go to the Heavenly Medicine Hall?”
“True, Princess!”
Based on Zhao Jun's appearance of being so shabby and so poor, it was somewhat impossible for him to have such a serious interest in the Heavenly Medicine Hall.
Or, could it be that this Zhao Jun had come to the Heavenly Medicine Hall to ask for medicine or to do medicine?
Just, why do we have to have nights like this? Even he said just now, that he should go to the Heavenly Medicine Hall before sunrise. Isn't weird?
All sorts of questions rippled through Baili Yan's head. And this made him harbor special suspicions towards Zhao Jun. It was impossible for him to just let her go out of his sight.
What if it turns out that this Zhao Jun is a thief or a bad person? Wasn't he wrong to save people?
“No!” inner Baili Yan screamed. “There must be no mistake on my way here! This means, I can't let go of this guy before everything is clear!”
Zhao Jun did not understand what Baili Yan had in mind. He did not answer the questions he asked and remained silent.
But he was astonished by the expression following Baili Yan's fickle gaze towards him. Coupled with his figure suddenly shaking his head somewhat hysterically, he was even more confused.
“Princess Baili?”
Baili Yan narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
“Ekhem. Since your business is unclear and I do not know exactly what your identity is, then you must not leave before I return to Bei Empire!”
Zhao Jun's eyes widened. “Tapi—”
“No but! No one can guarantee that you're not a criminal! And as a Medicinal King Princess, I cannot carelessly release an unknown person!”
“Then why did you help me, Princess?” zhao Jun did not accept.
Baili Yan was stunned and lost his words for a moment.
“I-That's because I thought you were a weak and innocent man. However, looking at you now, I undo my prejudice!”
“After all, I will also go to the Heavenly Medicine Hall. You can come with me instead of going alone and putting me in danger! So, even if you're a bad guy, I can still beat you before you do anything!”
Now it was Zhao Jun's turn to lose his words. He did not understand Baili Yan's thought flow which he thought was too wary and strange.
Even so, his offer to take him to the Heavenly Medicine Hall was really very helpful. He can get there without hiding. And even blatantly he could still survive by relying on Baili Yan!
“Good. It's just, let me explain one thing to you, Princess Baili. I am not a bad person. I have something to take care of at the Heavenly Medicine Hall. And it is not a crime or a crime—”
“Already. I don't want to hear it. Because I can't believe in words alone. Let the facts speak later! Whatever your business, as long as it harms me, I will definitely drag and kill you!”
Zhao Jun gulped his saliva with great difficulty, but was unable to say anything more.
Without saying much, he then followed the figure of Baili Yan who had already walked first towards his horse carriage with slightly wide steps.
Arriving at the carriage, Baili Yan pointed to the empty side next to him at Zhao Jun. Intended that Zhao Jun sit there side by side with him.
“Quick! Don't waste my time! Sit here, so I can take precautions if you mess around!”
Zhao Jun took a short breath before nodding and getting into the horse carriage. As soon as he sat down, the coachman broke the horse's harness to get them back on their way.
The silence fell once more.
Neither Zhao Jun nor Baili Yan spoke to each other.
Each one is busy with their own thoughts. While Zhao Jun's head was filled with tactics to launch his action, Baili Yan was preoccupied with questions about who this Zhao Jun was.
Until in the end, Baili Yan's curiosity peaked. He couldn't help it anymore and had to ask Zhao Jun this.
“Hey, you! You said you weren't a bad guy! But from start to finish, you never once mentioned or introduced yourself to me!”
“Hah?!” Zhao Jun looked up somewhat in shock. Both of his eyes were squarely with Baili Yan's bead eyes filled with a suspicious gleam. “A-I ...”
