Chapter 542 For Victory, Charge!
When Yinzhen spoke, it startled Yinti and the others so much that they almost fell to the ground. Their laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a deafening silence. They exchanged glances, all conveying the same message.
Um, shouldn't he be in the capital right now? How did he suddenly get here? What should we do now? Should we bring him along?
Yinzhuo looked up at his fourth brother, whose face was grim and who looked like he was about to face a storm. Then he turned to look at his group of brothers standing there exchanging glances. He then carefully moved to the side, making his meaning very clear: Fourth brother, there is a cause for every grievance. You can cause trouble for them, but can you please leave me alone?
Although Yinzhen's attention was focused on Yinti and the others, it didn't mean he hadn't noticed Yinzuo's little tricks. Seeing that Yinzuo was planning to sneak away, he was furious.
Ultimately, this whole thing is the kid's fault. If he hadn't been constantly saying he wanted to be a happy person, why would his older brother and the others have followed suit and come here to enjoy the sea view and the warmth of spring? It seems we have to start with this kid to stop this bad trend.
"Xiao Liu, where are you planning to go?"
Where to go? Of course, he was running back to find his father. Otherwise, was he supposed to stand here and get punished by his elder brother and the others? At this moment, Yinzhuo pretended that he was deaf and could not hear his fourth brother's words. He quickened his pace and reminded his elder brother and the others.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother... what are you all standing there for? See our manor gate? Once we're inside, we're safe! Comrades, for victory, charge!"
Good heavens, Yinzhu's shout was quite something! Yinti and the others, who were just standing there looking at each other, suddenly realized what was happening. Completely disregarding their image, they took off running towards the manor gate not far from them.
Yinzhen was clearly taken aback by Yinti and the others' actions and stood there dumbfounded for a moment. By the time he reacted and tried to give chase, Yinti, Yinreng, and the others were already almost at the entrance of the manor.
"Big brother, second brother... I have to say, you guys are really unfair! I was so kind of reminding you earlier, and what did I do? Now you've all run ahead of me. Little Ninth, Little Tenth, you two stop right there. Are you pretending you didn't hear me? I'm calling on you! You two come over here and support me, I can't run anymore."
In terms of physical strength, any one of Yinti, Yinreng, or Yinzhi would completely outclass Yinzuo. There's nothing we can do about it, since our Prince Zhao's life principle is that life is about stillness.
Yinzhuo was already furious and directly called out names. Yintang and Yinyi could only resign themselves to their fate, turn around, and grab their useless sixth brother on either side, and sprint towards the manor gate. There was no other way; they had to run. Didn't they see that their fourth brother was already chasing after them on horseback?
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Jiu, Xiao Shi, can you two be a little gentler? First of all, I'm a human being, and secondly, I'm a human being. I understand you're desperate to escape, but could you lift me up a little? You've already dragged one of my shoes off..."
To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of his sixth brother's revenge, Yinzhen and Yin'e would really have wanted to abandon him and let him fend for himself. No, you've fallen so low that you need someone to carry you around, can't you just stay put?
"Sixth Brother, you should be grateful. It's okay that you lost your shoes. At least we didn't abandon you halfway. Don't you want to look back? If we don't run faster, Fourth Brother will catch up with us..."
Yinzhen and his entourage were riding tall horses. If it weren't for the rocks and sand on the beach hindering their speed, Yinti and Yinzuo would probably have been caught up by now.
While Yinzhuo and Yintang were talking, Yinti and the others had already run close to the manor gate. Seeing that Yinzhen was about to catch up with Yinzhuo and the others, Yinti could only sigh helplessly, turn around and run over to grab Yinzhuo from Yintang and Yinzhen's hands, and then carried him to the manor gate in a few steps.
Even though they hadn't met Emperor Kangxi yet, from the moment they stepped through the gates of the manor, Yinti and his men became fearless. As the saying goes, the law doesn't punish the masses, and they refused to believe that the fourth prince would dare to do anything to their father.
As Yinti and the others had thought, Yinzhen couldn't think of a way to deal with them for the time being. As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. For a moment, the two sides were standing there facing each other, one inside the gate and the other outside.
However, their standoff didn't last long. After all, Emperor Kangxi was currently staying at the estate, and he couldn't have been unaware of the commotion caused by Yinti and his group. Sure enough, just as Yinti caught his breath, Liang Jiugong arrived with his men.
"Oh dear, my little darling, we were perfectly fine when we went out just now, how come our shoes are gone in such a short time? We can't go barefoot in this weather, quick, two people, go and bring the palanquin over..."
After Liang Jiugong arrived, he first glanced around at everyone without making a sound, then stepped forward and bowed to Yinzhen. After being called to a stand, he immediately walked quickly to Yinzuo and looked him over from head to toe. Only after seeing that he was not injured did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Given their disheveled appearance with their trousers rolled up and clothes in disarray, it was clearly inappropriate for Yinzhi and the others to appear before Emperor Kangxi. Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi did not seem to be in a hurry. Liang Jiugong led everyone back to Songhe Garden, where Emperor Kangxi was staying. After Yinzhi and the others had taken a bath and changed their clothes, Liang Jiugong led them to see Emperor Kangxi.
Yinti and the others weren't the only ones surprised by Yinzhen's arrival; Kangxi was equally astonished. Others might not know, but as someone who had been through it all, didn't he? Yinzhen had just ascended the throne and had many things to attend to.
"Fourth Prince, why are you, as the emperor, not staying in the capital? What are you doing here in Laizhou Prefecture?"
Hey, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to? The reason I don't stay in the capital is because of these troublesome brothers you gave me. They're all like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their own unique abilities. I had to come and take them all in.
Yinzhen now understands that what Xiao Liu said before was absolutely right: the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Yinzhen is now going all out, because compared to life, face is practically worthless.
As the son of Emperor Kangxi, a master of parenting, Yinzhen's literary talent was beyond doubt. After hearing his tearful complaint, Yinti and the others felt extremely ashamed.
No, have we really gone this far? Look how we've driven the Fourth Prince to this state. He's supposed to be the Emperor, after all! Crying his eyes out, it's heartbreaking to see.
