A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 460 Tumi

"It's almost noon. Yan Han will definitely come to this city's post station to rest. The poison powder has been smeared on the scriptures in the lucky bag. It is colorless and odorless and difficult to detect, but it can kill people invisibly as long as it touches water."

In a dark alley in a city in Shangzhou in the northern border of Xiyue Kingdom, Chen Ming, dressed like a country bumpkin with a full beard, handed a lucky bag in his hand to Luoying with a frown and gave instructions.

At this time, Luoying had shed her former graceful dress and changed into a coarse linen dress. Her face was also smeared with mud. At first glance, one would think she was fleeing from famine. However, when you look closer, her peerless beauty is still looming.

Luoying hesitated for a moment before carefully taking the lucky bag handed to her by Chenming.

"It's not too late to regret now. If you wait until you walk out of this alley, you really can't turn back." Chen Ming saw that Luoying was still struggling in her heart, so he persuaded her again.

"Now that I've come this far, where can I go back? I don't regret it. I was just thinking that there is only one chance to take such an action..." Luoying chuckled, then lowered her eyes and shook her head.

Two days ago, she followed Chen Ming to the graves of her brothers and sisters-in-law outside the northern city of Xuan'an and swore secretly that she would avenge them. Her hesitation was naturally not because of regret or fear.

"So don't act too hastily. Don't take any action if you haven't gained Yan Han's trust." Chen Ming also reminded her again immediately.

"Brother Chen Ming, don't worry. I won't be reckless or impulsive." Luoying raised her eyes, nodded and smiled at him.

"We will follow you all the way to Shangjing in secret. If we can successfully enter Prince Han's Mansion, we will find a way to contact you." Chen Ming frowned again, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He deserved to die for letting the princess put herself in danger, but this method was the most appropriate and more likely to succeed. For the sake of revenge, he could only harden his heart. After his revenge was achieved, he would go to the prince to apologize.

"Princess, sir, Yan Han's carriage has entered the city and is heading to the post station." Just as Chen Ming finished speaking, a black shadow appeared in front of them and bowed.

"Hurry up and find that dead girl. I have spent a hundred taels of silver and I can't let it go to waste!" At the same time, a burst of cursing from a woman came from the alley.

"The time is about right. If we run out of this alley, we will run into Yan Han." Chen Ming finally made up his mind with difficulty, raised his finger and pointed to the exit at one end of the alley and said to Luo Ying.

"You must protect yourself too." Luoying smiled at them with a fearless attitude, turned around and ran away, then raised her hand to pull out the wooden hairpin from her bun. Her jet-black and shiny hair then fell down, and her figure in linen clothes became even more beautiful.

"That girl fled to East Street!" After Luoying ran away, Chen Ming and another secret guard hid in the dark and shouted towards the other end of the alley.

"East Street! East Street!" A fat woman outside heard this and hurriedly led a few big men into the alley. Seeing Luo Yingqi about to run out the other side, she angrily scolded: "You damn girl, you still dare to run? Don't let me catch you, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death!"

"I heard that the prince has many concubines in his house, but he still hasn't married a princess..."

A luxurious carriage was driving slowly on East Street in the city. A charming and beautiful woman in the carriage got into Yan Han's arms, put a glass of wine in her hand to his lips, smiled charmingly with her eyes rolling, but before she could finish her words, she was pushed away by Yan Han and fell at his feet, and the wine in the glass spilled all over her dress.

"I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Highness!" The beauty was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt in front of Yan Han and kowtowed repeatedly.

"You want to be my princess?" Yan Han smiled wickedly, leaned over and pinched the beauty's chin and asked coldly. Without waiting for her to answer, he sneered again: "All the concubines in my palace want to become a phoenix just like you, but you are not worthy!" After saying that, he lifted her chin and shook it hard. The beauty trembled and knelt down at his feet again, not daring to say a word.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the post station."

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and Leng Wu's report was heard outside.

The beauty in the carriage hurriedly pushed open the door when she heard the sound, but Yan Han still ignored her and got off the carriage.

The person in charge of the post station learned in advance that King Han would pass through the maze city and have lunch here, so he led people to wait here early. When he saw King Han, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, but Yan Han just responded coldly.

"How dare you run, you damned girl? Stop right there!"

Just as Yan Han was about to follow the postmaster into the post station, he heard vulgar curses from the alley nearby, which made him look disgusted. Leng Wu at the side understood and turned around to ask two guards to stop them. At the same time, Luo Ying suddenly appeared from behind the carriage, and took advantage of Leng Wu's unpreparedness to run to Yan Han and cry:

"Sir, help me!"

"Where did this beggar come from? He is looking for death!" Everyone was shocked and angry when they suddenly saw a dirty man approaching King Han. Leng Wu even drew the knife from his waist and shouted loudly.

Yan Han remained silent, but looked at the little girl beside him with his evil eyes. Her face was covered with mud and her black hair was loose. Her bold approach made him a little interested.

"They are going to drag me into the fire pit, please save me!" Although she had stared at the portrait countless times before, when she really stood in front of Yan Han, Luo Ying couldn't help but tremble with fear at his evil aura. She also put on a pitiful look and looked up to beg him again, tears in her clear eyes sliding down both sides.

She was graceful and charming, and even though her face was covered in mud, she was stunned when she looked up and shed tears. But before he could lower his eyes to take a closer look, his guards suddenly came forward with a fat woman. When Luoying saw them, she pretended to hide behind Yan Han.

"I am the mother of Shuiyun Tower, and I am honored to meet King Han." The fat woman was so frightened by Yan Han's evil look that her legs went weak. But when she thought of the one hundred taels of silver she had spent, she felt unwilling to give in, so she stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Yan Han asked in a cold voice with disgust on his face without even looking at her.

"Prince Han, I spent a hundred taels to buy that child today." The fat woman was frightened when she saw that she was being despised, so she took a step back and glanced at the station master who was familiar to her, but she saw that he was pretending to be deaf and dumb as if he wanted to draw a line between himself and her in front of Prince Han. She was secretly angry at the man's indifference, so she could only continue to smile humbly.

"One hundred taels?" Yan Han sneered, turned his head and said to Leng Wu, "Give her one hundred taels as compensation."

It would be difficult for him to take things by force in front of so many people. If the person in Shangjing heard about it, he would be scolded again.

After Yan Han finished speaking, he pulled Luoying behind him and went into the post station. Although everyone was surprised, they all followed him in, leaving Leng Wu and the fat woman standing there stiffly.

Leng Wu naturally wondered when His Highness had started to do good deeds and accumulate virtue? Although the fat woman was reluctant to give up such a cash cow, she had no choice but to face the ruthless King Han, so it was good enough to get back her capital.

"Take the money and leave quickly!" Leng Wu threw a hundred taels of silver into the fat woman's hand and shouted with cold eyes.

The fat woman had no choice but to smile and bow before leaving angrily.

"Guard Leng?" Just as Leng Wu was about to turn around and enter the post station, he was stopped by the beauty in the carriage.

"Why are you still in the car?" This beauty was found by His Highness in the northern border, and she has not yet been given a name, so Leng Wu naturally does not need to address her with respect.

"Just now, I accidentally made His Highness unhappy. I don't know..."

Hearing the cold guard's words, the beauty quickly got off the carriage shyly. She was about to cry with a wronged look on her face, but was interrupted by the other party's sneer:

"Since you knew that you had made His Highness unhappy, why didn't you immediately follow him and serve him? Do you want His Highness to come and invite you personally? Who do you think you are? You are not even as good as a concubine, but you want to be the master of Prince Han's mansion?"

Being ridiculed by Leng Wu, the beauty dared not say a word and could only bite her red lips and shed tears.

Leng Wu frowned in disgust, and without saying another word, he took her into the inn.

The post station often received dignitaries passing through, so the interior was elegant and pleasant with a bit of luxury.

Yan Han was still holding Luoying's hand and walking in the corridor in the courtyard, followed closely by the station manager and several guards.

"Prince Han? Are you the prince? Thank you for saving my life!" Luoying was dragged and ran, her breathing became rapid. Seeing that Yan Han was so arrogant, there was a bit of fear in her clear eyes, but she still had to remain calm on the surface.

"Hmph, help? This king always likes killing people, and never saves people." Luoying's words made Yan Han snort coldly, and his beautiful face was full of evil and cunning.

Luoying frowned even more when she heard this, but once the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. Even if she wanted to escape now, it was too late.

"What's your name?" Yan Han suddenly asked again.

"Tumi."

"Tumi, the beauty at the end of her life, it's no wonder she was sold to a brothel with such an unlucky name."
