Chapter 163: Father's Worry

Yang Jun's call dispelled most of the anger in Yang Ye's heart.

After all, it's his own son; of course he wouldn't really be harsh toward his own son in these matters.

These things are merely worries in his heart.

Whether it's Yun Fengyun or Yun Fengyue, they are both difficult to deal with.

"How far have I progressed with the sword technique you taught me?"

"You must understand that the martial path relies entirely on diligence; if you don't advance, you retreat!"

"You have been lax in your sword practice; if you cannot fully comprehend the sword technique, you cannot cultivate sword qi."

"Think about it—how can I entrust this family to you with peace of mind?"

Yang Ye still kept a stern face, speaking solemnly.

Regarding this matter, he still had considerations in his heart.

Yang Jun listened to his father's words, feeling a surge of emotion.

Having come to this world and endured so much, the person before him is perhaps the most important person in his life in this world.

The road ahead is too hard to travel; dealing with what lies ahead is even more difficult.

Just as he was thinking about these things, a hand pressed onto his shoulder.

"Kneel here and think it over."

Yang Jun nodded; what he didn't see was that at this moment, Yang Ye's gaze was fixed on him more gently.

Yang Ye's hand rested on Yang Jun's shoulder, his paternal love turning into sword qi that slowly merged into Yang Jun's body.

Zhou Tian gathered his troops outside the Prince's Mansion.

He came bearing an imperial decree; at this moment, the city garrison and the troops of the Jingzhao Yin Fu were all mobilized by him.

This time, Zhou Tian also appeared determined to succeed.

To him, no matter what, he must capture Yang Jun.

Once the Pacified West Army left, his title of general was just an empty name.

This gave him a strong sense of anxiety.

Therefore, he must now think of every possible way to resolve this matter.

This time, by betraying Mo Qingyan, he has completely lost the support of the masses.

However, now this matter is unlikely to be guessed by others; Mo Qingyan is as good as grounded.

As long as he captures Mo Qingyan, Yang Jun will likewise have no escape.

Only then would this be the best thing he could do.

With this thought, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel excited.

As long as he captures them, he still has a chance to turn things around.

"Surround them!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand, and soon the entire Pingxi Prince's Mansion was completely surrounded, sealed off without a gap.

"As General, I have received the imperial edict to apprehend the court criminal Mo Qingyan and his accomplice Yang Jun!"

Zhou Tian held the imperial decree and shouted loudly at the Pingxi Prince's Mansion.

At the same time, he signaled the city garrison to ram the gate.

But the city garrison looked at each other, hesitating to step forward.

Zhou Tian is a general; he fears nothing.

But I am merely a lowly soldier.

What place is this?

This is the Pingxi Prince's Mansion!

Although Prince Pingxi no longer has the Pacified West Army, he is still a prince.

Just that fact makes them dare not act recklessly.

"A bunch of useless things!"

Zhou Tian cursed angrily and shoved them aside.

"Move aside, let me do it!"

Outside the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Tian was ramming the gate.

Inside the mansion, hearing the sound, Yang Jun grabbed Yang Ye's hand.

"Father, let me handle it."

Yang Jun grasped Yang Ye's hand, rough with old calluses, stepped forward with dragon's stride and tiger's step, and walked toward the gate.

"That brat has grown up."

Yang Ye looked at Yang Jun's back and smiled with relief.

He simply sat down; having just infused Yang Jun with sword qi, he was also quite tired, so now he could rest.

Yang Jun walked out of the room; outside, Mo Qingyan and Leng Qingyue ran toward him.

Lin Qingyue stood far away, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Do you remember the place where we first met?"

Yang Jun wore a gentle expression; Mo Qingyan and Leng Qingyue nodded slightly.

"Senior Sister Qingyan, let's go!"

Leng Qingyue pulled Mo Qingyan, about to leave.

"Yang Jun, what will you do?"

Mo Qingyan looked at Yang Jun, full of worry.

Now Zhou Tian holds an imperial edict in hand, and he has also announced Yang Jun as an accomplice; for such a matter, I could just walk away, but what should Zhou Tian do? Facing this, how could he cope?

It is exactly this worry that makes Mo Qingyan's heart very tense.

"Don't worry about me, you can relax."

Yang Jun waved his hand, signalling the two to leave.

He then turned and walked toward the gate; just then, with a boom, the door was burst open.

"Yang Jun, you had better come out now; outside the Prince's Mansion are all my men, you cannot escape."

Zhou Tian raised his voice and shouted.

For such a matter, it is already at the point of no return; it must be done, and indeed must be accomplished.

Lin Qingyue looked toward Zhou Tian's direction, her face full of proliferation.

Yang Jun pulled Lin Qingyue and walked forward.

"Let go of me!"

Lin Qingyue understood that Yang Jun was guarding against her, not letting her follow Mo Qingyan and Leng Qingyue.

But compared to Yang Jun's strength, hers could not match.

No matter how she struggled, she could not break free from Yang Jun's big hand.

For a moment, the two pulled and tugged as they walked toward Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian was not far away; leading his soldiers, he saw Lin Qingyue being dragged by Yang Jun.

Lin Qingyue will be my most important witness, and she also came to the Prince's Mansion to gather intelligence for me.

Such a matter is also very important to Zhou Tian.

With Lin Qingyue present, it seems Yang Jun cannot argue his way out no matter what, and he certainly cannot escape.

Yang Jun merely smiled faintly and released Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue's face was full of anger, she moved her wrist, the pain was unbearable.

"Yang Jun, stop resisting; I have solid evidence."

"Look at this imperial edict; arrest Mo Qingyan and her accomplice Yang Jun!"

Zhou Tian spoke, then unfolded the imperial edict.

Facing such a matter, Yang Jun had not yet had a chance to speak.

A shout of "Impudence!" rang out.

Yun Xi Yue appeared, she lifted her skirt and ran over to stand in front of Yang Jun.

"Zhou Tian, you have great gall!"

"The Princess orders you, hurry up and take your people and get lost!"

Yun Xi Yue coldly shouted, tightly protecting her man.

"Your Highness Princess, I, the General, am acting under the imperial edict; I still advise you to leave, otherwise I cannot guarantee that I won't hurt the Princess."

Zhou Tian, Lord Six, laughed; the imperial edict reappeared.

He now has justification; to deal with Yang Jun, he has also exhausted his efforts.

Even though Yun Xi Yue is a princess, she does not have the qualification to stop himself.

The matter here now also must be resolved.

"I'm fine, rest assured; these trivial matters, leave them to me."

Yang Jun pulled Yun Xi Yue behind him to protect her, his face full of concern, speaking softly.

As for this matter, of course I still have to settle it myself; Yun Xi Yue caught in the middle is certainly not a good thing.
