Legend of the Flute Swordsman

Departure to Mount Zhou

Once at the Palace, Shi Ming immediately laid Yang Fei on the bed.

“Quick call the best healer to treat Yang Fei!” li Yi Cheng.

“Good, Your Highness.” Shi Ming lowered his head. Then, he immediately came out of Yang Fei's room and summoned Guan Dong, the best healer in the Western kingdom. Guan Dong also checked on Yang Fei.

“Is Mr Yang Fei okay?” shi Ming asked in panic.

”How is it?” li Yi Cheng asked worriedly.

“Her heart rate and pulse are unstable. According to Servant, he was exposed to Si Du poison,” Guan Dong replied in a soft tone.

“Then, treat him immediately,” said Li Yi Cheng.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I can't treat it now because Si Du's poison is an extraordinarily powerful poison and will kill everyone who gets exposed to it within a week. Si Du's poison can only be cured with the Black Rose Flower from Mount Zhou.” Guan Dong looked so anxious because this was the first time he could not cure a disease with his medicines.

“Black Rose Flower? Isn't that a poisonous flower that can kill many lives at once?” li Yi Cheng asked as he frowned.

“Yes, Your Honor. Si Du's poison was made from the Black Rose Flower and there was no other antidote in this world other than the flower itself as the ingredient for making its poison. I am old and can't climb mountains anymore. So, I can't get that flower for Mr. Yang Fei. But I can give you an antidote to this poison. After Master Yang Fei ate it, he was still able to survive three more days after Poison Si Du reacted in a week,” explained Guan Dong.

“But Mount Zhou is a very dangerous place and full of traps. Everyone who goes there will not be back in good shape. If it does not die, it will definitely suffer severe injuries,” Shi Ming said.

“In your opinion, what should we do now?” li Yi Cheng asked as he looked towards Shi Ming for an answer from him. Shi Ming did not wince for a moment.

“This issue cannot be postponed again. Guys, let's go to Mount Zhou now!” guo Lin Xu. He and his two friends had eavesdropped on Li Yi Cheng, Shi Ming, and Guan Dong from the start.

“Where do you want to go?” li Xing Mi asked in a high tone in panic. He had also listened to the father's talk with the royal advisor and the Palace physician.

“Mount Zhou,” replied Guo Lin Xu. He, Hua Xiang, and Xiao Feng took two more steps.

“Wait.” Li Xing Mi prevented their move.

“What's up, Princess?” hua Xiang asked as he looked at Li Xing Mi's face.

“I want to come with you guys,” Li Xing Mi said firmly.

“Mr Princess, the three of us will be climbing the mountain, not taking a walk. That Zhou Mountain was extremely dangerous and full of traps as Shi Ming had said. We will not be back in good shape. Please Mr. Princess consider again.” Xiao Feng reminded Li Xing Mi.

“Why? Yang Fei alone can save our kingdom, why can't I join in saving someone who is a savior for my kingdom? You can't believe I can help Yang Fei?” said Li Xing Mi in a high tone.

“That's not what I mean. I understand your good intentions, Princess. Merely, if you get injured there, Your Majesty will not forgive us and Yang Fei,” Xiao Feng replied as he sighed.

“But I really want to come along. I want to save Yang Fei. I can't let him get hurt just like that without doing anything, ’kan? After all, the more people who leave the better, ‘kan?” li Xing Mi replied as she looked at the three of them.

“Mr Princess, if you want to come with us, go ahead. But we cannot guarantee your safety while on Mount Zhou. I beg of you to take good care of yourself if you want to come with us,” Guo Lin Xu said firmly.

“Well, you guys wait for me to change clothes for a while here,” Li Xing Mi said.

“Why did you allow him to come with us? What if we can't bring him back to the Palace safely?” xiao Feng asked worriedly.

“Can-can you think up to there,” Hua Xiang said.

“I'm done, let's go,” Li Xing Mi said with a smile. As soon as he saw the appearance of the Princess wearing clothes like ordinary people, the three of them immediately gasped.

“Mr Princess, are you sure you'll wear that shirt?” hua Xiang asked who still did not believe what he saw just now.

“I will not be allowed out of the Palace if the doormen know that I am the Princess. So, I have to wear this so as not to be suspected by them,” explained Li Xing Mi.

“Alright, let's go,” take Guo Lin Xu.

“Come,” say Hua Xiang.

“Mr Princess, please show me the best way to get out of here,” Guo Lin Xu said as he gazed towards Li Xing Mi to guide the way for them.

“I remember there was a small door behind the Palace garden that could take us out of here. In front of the park, there are 2 doormen standing on the right and left side,” Li Xing Mi said.

The four of them immediately headed to the Palace garden. Then, Guo Lin Xu whispered something to Li Xing Mi.

“Mr Princess,” call Guo Lin Xu. The two park guards immediately turned their heads back and swiftly Guo Lin Xu directly hit their necks until they fainted.

“I'm sorry, Brothers,” said Guo Lin Xu softly.

The four of them were finally able to leave for Mount Zhou.

“Call Li Xing Mi here,” orders Li Yi Cheng to his four bodyguards. The guards searched Li Xing Mi throughout the Palace, but were still unable to find her. In the end, they brought along one of the maids that served Li Xing Mi.

”Your Majesty, the Princess has indeed been out of the room since this afternoon, but she has not returned to her room yet. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know where the Princess went either, but usually the Princess goes to the park,” the maid said as she knelt down and lowered her head to beg for mercy from Li Yi Cheng.

So the guards brought the two park gatekeepers before the king. The two guards were so frightened that they knelt down with their bodies still trembling.

“I'm sorry, Your Honor. The Princess went along with three other warriors,” said one of them.

“What? You certain? Who are the three of them?” li Yi Cheng asked in shock.

“One of the swordsmen hit us from behind so we don't know who they are, please forgive us, Your Majesty,” said another doorman.

Hearing that, even the elderly Li Yi Cheng was so desperate and frustrated that he ended up unable to regain consciousness.

“Your Majesty!” exclaim Shi Ming in panic.
