Chapter 39.3 Replacing A Wild Cat For A Crown Prince

“Alright,” she pecked at the corner of his lips, “Then, I like you today as much as yesterday.”

He vaguely felt something was wrong——was she bargaining with him?

As soon as he looked down, he saw that she was still drooping the corners of her eyes and pursed her lips. Her whole person is a bit spiritless.

Looking at the wronged woman in his arms, he suddenly felt that what happened last night might be some misunderstanding. How could such a foolish little thing do that kind of thing to him? No, it doesn’t seem so. Little Mulberry is obviously a little fool.

Presumably, she really thought it was just some clogged meridians or the poison’s residue? This fellow, is really stupid enough!

Thinking like this, You Wuming couldn’t help but squint his long and narrow eyes while gently tapping his fingers on his knee. The dark clouds in his heart gradually disappeared completely.

His mood is good again, so he rubbed his chin against the top of her hair.

“Then, what shall I do in the future?” She raised her small face to look at him with a pair of incomparably pure eyes, just like a small animal in the forest.

“What are you afraid of?” You Wuming couldn’t help but laughed. “With me here, will there be your turn to fight and kill the enemy?”

Sang Yuanyuan looked even more depressed: “I don’t want to be a hindrance.”

You Wuming curled up the corners of his lips indifferently and continued to kiss her bulging cheek. His tone was so perfunctory: “You won’t, you won’t. How could Little Mulberry be a hindrance.”

“Alright,” she pushed him and got out of his arms. After putting away the sunflower, she said sternly, “Then let’s discuss the plan to kill Huangfu Jun.”

You Wuming: “?”

She entered the state in one second: “Yesterday I heard you and Big Brother talk about doing it in the Snow Mist Valley. If I am not mistaken, it must be an extremely cold and dangerously steep area, a place just enough for two horses to run side by side, right?”

You Wuming continues to be dazed.

Sang Yuanyuan quickly said, “So your plan is to lie in ambush on the road and wait until Huangfu Jun’s carriage passes by, then jump out and cut off both his entry and exit, and kill him?”

You Wuming nodded like a puppet.

“How do you retreat when it’s done?” She asked.

You Wuming chuckled, then lowered his eyes to stare at her. With his chest still trembling, he smiled sullenly for a while, and said: “Almost forgot, my Little Mulberry is full of resources and is a powerful military adviser.”

He sat up straight, and with a ‘swish’ sound, he took a map out from his side and motioned her to look at it.

“On the left is the ten zhang[1] mountain wall and on the right is the hundred zhang steep cliff.” He said, “This snowy mountain road is the only way to go. Slide down from the top to the bottom with the sling and kill him by surprise. After it’s done, use the sling to slide down along the cliff to the bottom of the valley, and evacuate from the Snow Mist Valley.

Sang Yuanyuan pondered for a moment: “The casualties must be heavy.”

“That’s right.” You Wuming nodded and said, “The escort emissaries will both guard Huangfu Jun in the front and rear side. I will deal with one and Sang Bujin drags one, and the rest of the personal bodyguards will be countered by the You Shadow Guards. The path is narrow, so there’s no need to worry about being surrounded. If we can fight a quick battle, there won’t be many casualties here. The key is when we were retreating.”

Sang Yuanyuan fixedly stared at him, and her eyes gradually drifted a little.

You Wuming spoke in such a serious manner, so simple and so neat, and his actions are full of the style of a King. It somewhat has a sense that the world is in his hand and that he has the situation well in hand.

He pointed up and down the mountain road with his very long finger: “If we go up, we will be shot into a hedgehog. So we can only go down. Going down, the other side will cut off the sling. We can only pray for luck to be on our side. One life saved is still a life saved.”

Sang Yuanyuan thought for a moment from afar and said unhurriedly: “I have a plan. It’s called replacing a wild cat for a crown prince. You listen to it first to see if it’s feasible.”

You Wuming raised his eyebrows: “Oh?”

……

After noon, You Wuming receives the news. Huangfu Jun was seriously injured and travelled in a rush. Instead of taking a carriage, he uses a sedan chair.

You Wuming was happy: “Really, heaven also helped Little Mulberry!”

He lifted her up, carried her sideways and vigorously strided towards Sang Bujin’s carriage.

She could not help but feel a little embarrassed: “Let me down! What are you carrying me for? “
