The Unknown Beauty 182 Trouble

"No, I want to help," said Wang Ping.

"3rd Prince, we need to take you to safety," said Gu Xiang.

"No! I'm going to help!" said Wang Ping, again to make himself clear.

"I can't risk your life, Wang Ping," said Gu Xiang. "It might bring destruction to both empires if they new you got hurt!"

"I want to help! I need to help!" said Wang Ping. "And who said I was going to get hurt! I need to experience a fight if I want to protect my own country! I'm tired of being rescued all the time!"

"..." Xie Rong and Gu Xiang looked at each other and then nodded their heads in agreement.

"Fine. But you have to stay close to me," said Gu Xiang. "After all, the Wang Emperor would never forgive me knowing I couldn't protect his brother."

"Alright!" said Wang Ping, putting his fist into the air.

Xie Rong, along with Gu Xiang and Wang Ping, started evacuating more citizens just to find the medical sect. members also evacuating the citizens. Xie Rong and the others look at each other and decided to headed back to camp.

"Everyone done?" said Xie Rong. it seems the others have the same idea and decided to go back to the Ma residence due to the enormous help from the Medical sect.

"Yeah. With the help of all the Medical Sect. members, it went faster than expected. We didn't really had to do much," said Meiying.

Most of them joined together back at home base once they new all the residence were in safety. The medical sect. members said the safest place for the citizens to take cover is the plaza, near the Chu Palace and guided the citizens to that direction before getting back to the base.

"Uncle Rong!" said Kenzhi.

"What is it Kenzhi?" said Xie Rong.

"Sister Yu Yan wants us to go to her once we are done," said Kenzhi.

"Ah, right. I forgot I had the stuff," said Xie Rong.

"Stuff?" asked Gu Xiang in confusion.

"The sleeping gas," said Xie Rong.

"For the Sea Kings!?" asked Wang Ping. He was so surprised.

"Yeah. At least that's what Yu Yan told me to make last night. I only got one hour of sleep because of the huge amount of sleeping pills she wanted me to make," said Xie Rong.

"Why did she ask you to do that?" asked Wu Lang. "It's like she new Min Fu-Han was going to bring an army of Sea Kings."

"Well… she said she didn't want to take the risk. I made thousands and thousands of sleeping gas," said Xie Rong. "It's 5 times the amount needed for the attack Min Fu-Han made."

'What!? She made him make 5 times the amount of Sea Kings Min Fu-Han has!? How is she always prepared for any battle?' thought Wang Ping.

Gu Xiang notice the face the prince was making and he wasn't surprised.

"You weren't around us when she prepared to stop the slave traders back at home," said Gu Xiang. "She prepared for every scenario. It's as if she is reading the future."

"It's no wonder she is a general's grandchild. She thought of every possibility that might happen during the extraction and had plans to counteract each one," said Xie Rong.

"No kidding. It's scares me so much not knowing what she is planning next," said Meiying. "I'm two years older than her but it feels like she has lived for hundreds of years."

"My god… She planned this far ahead?" said Wang Ping.

"And she is still planning at this moment," said Peng Ai. "I see her plan for the future all the time because she never let's her guard down..."

"But... The sad part is… she doesn't want to plan the future. She just wants things to happen on their own. But… she can't help it when we are always around her because... she wants to protect all of us," says Kenzhi. Kenzhi is like Lin Yu Yan's little brother and he is kind of like a 'messenger' just like Wu Lang.

"...is that so?" said Gu Xiang. Everyone was quiet for a few seconds not knowing how to respond to that.

"It just means we have to prove to her that we are strong enough on our own," said Xie Rong, puffing out his chest. Everyone looked at him and then looked at each other.

"Right. So we can give her relief… and give her the peaceful life she wanted," said Meiying.

"Yeah… she deserves it," said Wang Ping.

"I totally agree," said Peng Ai.

"By the way… I meet Wei Ru and Quan Yi Ying along the way. They headed back here before me but is seems they aren't here yet," said Meiying. Peng Ai was nodding her head saying she met them too.

"I did too… that is strange…" said Kenzhi. "He should be here by now."

"He also said Chu Yang went with Quan Su Wen to go warn the Emperor about the attack," said Meiying.

"But… the way to the palace is through the plaza… where all the citizens are taking cover just in case something happens," said Wang Ping.

"Wait… didn't the citizens have some sort of...hate towards her? Isn't that why she was in hiding all the time?" said Xie Rong.

"Oh no!" said Gu Xiang. He sped as fast as possible to go find Chu Yang and make sure she is alright but Xie Rong stops him.

"Xiang! Calm down!," said Xie Rong. "Don't forget."

Xie Rong looked at Gu Xiang and then looked over at Wang Ping. Gu Xiang looked over at the same time.

"But…" he said and looked down not knowing what to do. 'I need to take care of my fiance… But I also need to protect the prince as well.'

"Go," said Wang Ping, after a long silence. "I'll stick back at the Ma Residence."

'There is always a next time… A life is more precious than my selfishness.'

"..are you sure, 3rd prince?" said Xie Rong.

"It's safe here. Go save your wife. Or I'll be the one killing you," Wang Ping said it jokingly and smirked at Gu Xiang.

"Thank you, Prince," said Gu Xiang and left on his way to save his love.

"Please stay in Wei Ru's room, 3rd prince," said Meiying.

"Wei Ru's room? Wouldn't the safest room be Lin Yu Yan's?" said Wang Ping.

"No. Yu Yan never wants the safest room. Plus, Quan Yi Ying was staying in the safest room with Wei Ru so she made sure they are together," said Meiying.

"Guess I'll be on my way to meet the Yu Yan then," said Xie Rong.

"I'm going too. I think she needs more than 2 people," said Meiying.

"We still need Wu Lang. Honestly, he should be here by now," said Kenzhi.

"Right… knowing that the medical sect. members are helping the citizens, Wu Lang and Wu Long Long should be back," said Meiying.

"Wu Lang is probably okay. Let's head out first," said Kenzhi.

"Prince, can you tell Wu Lang to go to where Yu Yan is?" said Xie Rong.

"Yes! You can count on me!" said Wang Ping. 'At least there is someway I can help...'
