Chapter 244: Borrow a step to explain the chapter
Wu Yan curled his lips and said, "Brother Mu, what are you talking about? We are friends. You are still being polite to us after spending so many days together.
What's more, we usually go in and out together, and our two families have a close relationship. If we stay, we will become tools for others to force you to submit.
So, we might as well leave right from the start.”
Qiu Ling lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of smile in them. For Wu Yan, this was an exciting military exercise, right? His mission was to bring the prince and his wife back to the Heshuo star safely.
It is easy to bring people back, but it is not an easy task to make people willingly and responsibly take on the future of the interstellar empire.
Wu Mu and Qing Yi felt even more guilty, "It is a blessing for me and Yi Er to meet your family in my life.
On the contrary, you, who have been implicated by us, will have to flee with us. Those people are all-powerful, not only do they bear grudges, but they also enjoy torturing people.
They were able to chase us across the grassland, and they seemed determined not to give up until they caught us.
We need to be prepared to change our residence from time to time for a long time.”
"That's great, we can follow Brother Mu to see the scenery of various places on the Tianhai star body," Shang Qi shrugged indifferently. He had nothing to do anyway, as long as he stayed with his wife, everything would be fine!
Qiu Ling also smiled and nodded. Previously, the land spirits had found some rare medicinal materials for alchemy near the village. The resources of the Tianhai star body were poor and spiritual energy was scarce. Logically, there were no good things, but some natural treasures loved to take root in unexpected places. These medicinal materials had no spiritual energy and looked very ordinary, similar to roadside weeds, but they had a good ability to store spiritual energy. Once spiritual energy was infused into them, their almost heaven-defying medicinal effects were activated.
She had reaped a lot of rewards, and even if she had not been forced to flee, she would have wanted to walk around and expand the search range for the Earth Fire Spirit.
They were fleeing in front, while the spaceship that Shang Qi was on was stealthily following behind.
Wu Yan, Shang Qi and Qiu Ling would leave temporarily from time to time on the pretext of catching game, enter the spaceship and slightly open the time formation to learn about the news outside and cook some snacks.
The shuttle where the Shang family guards were located activated an invisible acceleration formation, and equipped with signal jammers, rescue ropes and special bombs, it efficiently shot down the shuttles of the Nightmare Interstellar Pirates that kept pouring into the Tianhai Galaxy.
The pirates jumped off the shuttle like dumplings, desperate and helpless.
In the past, they were so arrogant and did not take other people's lives seriously. Now they regretted taking this order.
The struggle for power among the royal family of the Interstellar Empire is obvious at a glance. The outcome is doomed and there is almost no possibility of a reversal. But who among the royal family doesn't have a brain?
The unimaginable changes have left them with no chance of recovery!
However, they still had some hope in their hearts. Their sudden disappearance would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups. As long as they actively completed the task of killing Wu Yan, they would have a chance to be picked up together with their friends in the group when they rescued some elders in the Tianhai star body.
With this in mind, they first looked for nearby towns to gather information and see if there were any companions to join them, and then team up to take Wu Yan's head...
Wu Mu and his group were discovered by his subordinates who were searching for them in a hot air balloon on the third day of their escape. A flare with weak power but good light effect was launched into the air!
Wu Mu's face changed color on the spot. "Oh no, we've been discovered, and the flare is red. This means that someone has launched a top-level decapitation operation, and the bonus is too generous to refuse.
That means that in addition to his accomplices who are nearby and searching for us, bounty hunters from all around will also come here.”
He had not thought that his group of people, fleeing again and again under the noses of others, would anger the other party, and they actually issued a bounty mission of the highest level.
Wu Yan and Shang Qi glanced at each other. It seemed that the people above had started to take action, but they didn't know whether this was aimed at Wu Mu or him, Wu Yan.
Wu Yan looked a little solemn. He looked at Wu Mu and sighed slightly.
"Brother Yan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it," Wu Mu said with a frown.
Wu Yan nodded, "Brother Mu, let's talk for a moment."
The two of them walked about a hundred meters downwind. Wu Yan took a deep breath and shouted, "Cousin, is that you, Prince Wu Mu?"
Wu Mu's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled: "Brother Yan, what are you talking about? I am just an orphan, what prince? If I were a prince, would I be able to end up like this?"
Wu Yan chuckled and said, "Brother Mu, don't rush to deny it. I was entrusted by my uncle this time and followed the master's instructions to come to the Tianhai star to find you.
Over the years, the Emperor's uncle and Concubine Xu have never given up looking for you. But none of them thought that you would be in the Tianhai star body and luckily survive.
When she heard the news about you, Concubine Xu almost fainted from tears, saying that after so many years of doing charity, God finally opened his eyes.
However," he said grimly, "the news that you were still alive was leaked out. I guess that person was afraid that you would come back, so he decided to kill both you and me in the Tianhai star body."
Wu Mu's lips trembled, and his expression relaxed slightly, but he lowered his eyes slightly and still said nothing.
"Brother Mu, your name is Wu Mu. You are still trying hard to keep the safety lock. You still remember who you are, right?" Wu Yan pointed out bluntly.
Wu Mu curled his lips, "I just can't accept it. I am the only heir of the royal family. Haha, my father is in charge of the entire interstellar empire, but he can't protect me. Don't you think it's ironic and ridiculous?
Is it that he really can't protect her, or that he doesn't want to? He and I are only a few dozen years apart in age, so maybe I won't live as long as he does.
Why did he look for me to come back and become a thorn in his side?"
Wu Yan chuckled and said, "I am just a messenger. I didn't reveal my identity before because I thought you might not want to go back. I have been hesitating, but I didn't expect the people above me would be so impatient.
If it were before, I would have taken you back no matter what. But now, I am half a useless person, and I no longer have that hot-blooded and reckless folly. What's more, I have my own wife and I just want to live a good life.
Brother Mu, think about it these days. Are you willing to return to the empire to take on the responsibilities and honors that belong to a prince, or do you want to live the life of an ordinary person?
No matter which one it is, I will help you!"
Wu Mu hummed with a somewhat cold expression, walked up to Qingyi, shook her hand, and then drove the mule cart on his way without saying a word.
Qiu Ling silently asked Wu Yan: "Showdown?"
Wu Yan nodded, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's just right to give him some time to think."
It’s too late to say it. Wu Mu will become very passive. Even if he is willing to return to the Interstellar Empire, he will more or less feel resentment towards this group of people!
