214 Prisoner of War
Border of Yuan Kingdom
Ming Xiao and the others were sent to the border of Yuan Kingdom from the Ming Kingdom territory. The Yuan Kingdom wanted to bring them deeper into their territory, but finally chose to against it. They were still at war and having the enemies inside your territory was not really beneficial.
The three of them were put inside the war prison near the border. The condition of the prison cannot be considered good with dirty water fills the floor and the thick scent of blood. The three of them were put inside the same room, but they cannot feel calm. The poor condition of the prison makes them feel nausea.
Ming Xiao had gone to the prison in Ming Kingdom capital once, but the condition of that prison was far better than the one he saw right now. He felt that the war prison was really harsh and therefore unsuitable to stay here.
Lin San wanted to vomit the most. She cannot bear staying in such a place with all of the water dirty here. But looking at the two men, she decided to hold on. At least, she was not alone here.
General Fan sighed. If only he didn't lose the war, they didn't need to stay here and experience this hardship. It was a failure in his part to let the Yuan Kingdom spies got into the city and took advantage when they were busy, thus making them lost the battle. Seeing the prince and princess holding their best to not pass out, he felt that he had done something wrong.
"Don't worry. We won't be here for long, " he said amicably.
Ming Xiao wore a wry smile. Knowing his father and how he usually treated him, he was sure that the emperor would not spare even a glance at him. Besides, he was not an accomplished prince and compared with his brother he was far lacking.
Ming Kui and Ming Gong can be said to be at the very top. Whereas, Ming Yan was not bad, but he loves to create trouble for the emperor and the other party infuriated. Somehow, the emperor still held back, but no one knew the real reason.
Ming Xiao existence was something that the emperor often forgot. He would not mention about him even after all these years. All in all, he was just someone whom existence was not acknowledged. The only one who came to find him was Ming Hui and Yan who still wanted to help him and allow him to join the other party.
"The location of the territory of Nanglong family is far from here. At least, it will take them a week, " Ming Xiao replied with disheartened tone.
In fact, he knew that it would take longer than that, but he didn't say anything. The message should have arrived around 5 days before and given the time, they might need to wait here for another 2 days before the rescue team come.
General Fan frowned."Why the emperor didn't send anyone?"
"He will send someone to take the territory back, but not to save me, " Ming Xiao said calmly. That face may be hurt, but for him that was an understandable fact that he had accepted since long ago.
Looking at the calm face of Ming Xiao, Lin San tried to push down her worry."You know, there might be another force helping us."
"Who?"
"Jun family, " Lin San said weakly. Jun Hua had told her that she was her sister, but she was not sure that Jun Hua would send people to save them. All in all, the memories they have together were not that much, and most of them were her going against them.
Ming Xiao heaved a sigh."That was impossible. The Mountain Kingdom is undergoing changes, and they need to focus on their side first. They might not send anyone here."
Lin San didn't know why, but she wanted to hope. The Mountain Kingdom was nearer to them, and the news should have arrived long ago. If they wanted to send someone to help, they might arrive quicker.
While they are talking, the door suddenly opened. A big man came in and pulled Ming Xiao out.
"Ming Xiao!"
"Your Highness!"
Ming Xiao was dragged to a separate room where they tied him up. With his measly strength, there was no way he could struggle free from the rope. In front of him, a refined looking man was sitting on a chair. He glared at the other party, unwilling to show weakness.
"Prince Ming Xiao, " the man on the chair opened his mouth."Have you heard the recent news? The Ming Kingdom sent people to attack the southwest part. Since they have come to find you, do you want to meet them?"
Hearing the cold voice, Ming Xiao felt chill running down on his back. He felt that in front of this refined man he was at the death door. Looking at the way the other party dressed, he remembered Jun Min who has a refined looking, but actually really dangerous.
"Why would I want to, " Ming Xiao sneered.
The man looked towards Ming Xiao eyes."If you told me the plan of the emperor of Ming Kingdom, I can let you meet them."
How can Ming Xiao let them know the true plan of his father? It was not that he didn't want to tell, but because he knew that the moment he told them, they would become useless to them and killed. Besides, he didn't know his plan...
"Why should I tell you?" Ming Xiao looked back, challenging.
The man simply waved his hand, and Ming Xiao felt excruciating pain from his back. He gritted his teeth and endured under the thrashing of this man.
He didn't know how long it last when finally he was sent back to the room.
"Ming Xiao!" Lin San hurriedly came to his side, looking deeply worried. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝓷oν𝑒Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
Ming Xiao raised his hand weakly and brushed off her face."I'm fine, San'er. Don't look at me like that."
"But..."
"Its fine, this kind of pain is nothing."
Although he said that, Ming Xiao knew that his back must be a mess. He was not that proficient in martial arts and he can't say that he was perfectly fine. Struggling to the bed with Lin San help, he lied down with his stomach down.
Lin San cannot help but looked at his wound. She inhaled sharply when she saw the wound on Ming Xiao back. Her hearts felt pained when she stared at that wound. He's her husband, and she cared about him after living with him for quite some time.
"Princess, let me give the first aid, " General Fan said.
Lin San moved back and General Fan quickly treated the wound with the limited supply. She looked at Ming Xiao gritting his teeth. Her hand slowly clenched into a fist and her nail dug into her flesh, making her bleed.
