Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 34: Yixian

"Father, it was my idea to leave the palace this time. Mo Ying also risked his life to rescue me. Mo Ying and my savior Yin Ruchen are waiting outside the palace. If it weren't for Miss Yin's rescue, I would have been buried in the mountains long ago! There were four men in black who held me hostage, three of whom have fallen off a cliff, and the other has been captured by General Li." Zhao Lin said.

Hearing these words, King Jingyin learned that Zhaolin had encountered danger on this trip. The anger that had just been ignited was diluted by the relief that Zhaolin returned safely. He was even more grateful to Yin Ruchen, the benefactor who saved Zhaolin's life. He was determined to meet this great benefactor in person and reward her well, so he summoned Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying to see her.

"I, Yin Ruchen, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I, Yan Moying, kowtow to you!"

"Be flat!"

Yin Ruchen looked up, and King Jingyin saw her face clearly. He was stunned for a moment, not only because she was very beautiful, but also because she gave him a sense of déjà vu. But he immediately came to his senses, full of gratitude to her, and said: "Miss Yin, I am very grateful for your life-saving grace to Zhaolin. If you want any reward, just tell me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Helping people in need is my duty, and I do not covet rewards." Yin Ruchen said.

"Rewards are a must! My rewards cannot be refused..."

"Father, Miss Yin has been expelled from the sect for saving us and now has nowhere to go. I hope you will reward Miss Yin handsomely and arrange a place for her to live!" Zhao Lin said.

King Jingyin rewarded Yin Ruchen with a large sum of money and arranged accommodation for her.

"Yan Moying, you knew that the prince's crime of leaving the palace without permission was unforgivable, so why didn't you stop him but went with him instead?" asked King Jingyin.

"I know my crime." Yan Moying really didn't know how to explain it, because he had been trying to stop him, but Zhao Lin insisted on having his own way and even threatened him, so he was powerless facing the prince.

"Father, Mo Ying also tried his best to save me. Please listen to me later to learn the whole story of my trip. Now I have something important to do, so I will leave first!"

King Jingyin always doted on Zhaolin, and usually did what Zhaolin said. If anything went wrong, he would blame or even punish Yan Moying who was beside him. Just when he was about to question Yan Moying, Zhaolin said that he would explain the whole story later, so he did not rush to question Yan Moying at this moment.

Chapter 18

Zhaolin walked towards Yixianzhai with the soup he cooked himself.

The person living in Yixianzhai is Yun Keyou. She is 20 years old. Her father, Yun Fanggang, was a fierce general of Jingyin Kingdom. He died in the battlefield when fighting against the raid of Hongluo Kingdom. Her mother died soon after. Since then, Yun Keyou is the only one left in Yun Mansion. At that time, she was still young, so King Jingyin placed her in Yixianzhai in the palace and asked a master to teach her. She was not very interested in reading, but was very interested in martial arts. Since she came to Yixianzhai, Zhaolin and Yan Moying always played with her. When this girl was young, Yun Fanggang had taught her martial arts. When Zhaolin and Yan Moying became their apprentices, she also practiced with them. Zhaolin's martial arts aptitude is not good, and he is unwilling to endure hardships. When he doesn't want to practice, he stops. Even King Jingyin doesn't know how to discipline him, so his martial arts are far inferior to Yun Keyou and Yan Moying. Before coming to the palace, Yan Moying already had a deep foundation in martial arts, and had a strong ability to learn. He could often draw inferences from one example and apply it to other similar situations. In addition, he had practiced drum-jumping skills, and his progress was much faster than that of ordinary people, so his martial arts was better than Yun Keyu. Yun Keyu lost her parents in her childhood, but she looked very cheerful. At the age of 20, she was not only good-looking, but also cute. However, there was a voice in her heart that faintly rejected being called cute. She always felt that there was something strange in this evaluation. At some moments, she seemed to be vaguely aware that getting this evaluation might be related to some of her own states, but this awareness only flashed occasionally, and she didn't think much about it.
