C924 Grand Preceptor Pang fled from his crimes

However, that was only her guess. She didn't expect that her guess was correct.

Seeing that she did not raise any objections, Qi Feng was shocked. After thinking for a moment, he could not help but ask: "It's especially dangerous on Huiyang City's side, aren't you afraid of the princess?"

"Afraid. People are afraid of death, right?"

Xia Tao Hua laughed, revealing a naïve look, just like how he had appeared that day at the palace banquet. With a smile, he lazily said, "Not everyone has the right to choose between life and death."

Speaking of which, her eyes dimmed.

Qi Feng knew about the situation Xia Tao Hua was in with her mother and brother on the long island.

In other words, as long as it was a request from the Duke, anything that Xia Tao Hua could fulfill, he would definitely not object.

Don't even mention that the Prince had only asked her to follow them to a place like the Huiyang City, even if the Prince had wanted her to kill herself in front of him today, she wouldn't even furrow her brows.

Inexplicably, when he thought of this, Qi Feng felt a little upset., who never had any sympathy for anyone, had a strange feeling that he was unfamiliar with this time.

Looking at Xia Tao Hua's slightly pale face, he bit his lower lip and said: "Princess, rest well. I'll go out first."

Not long after Xia Tao Hua woke up, the sky had already darkened and the city gate was already closed. Tonight, they could only stay in the town for the night.

"Your Royal Highness, are you looking for me?"

"How is Peach Blossom Princess?"

"The princess said she was fine."

Qi Feng answered truthfully. Seeing Yan Yuan's indifferent and indifferent look, he could not help but add, "However, this subordinate looks at her with an ugly expression."

Hearing this, Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at him with a meaningful gaze, he squinted his eyes, "Why has this king not noticed when you became so enthusiastic?"

Qi Feng naturally understood the meaning behind his words, and the expression on his face changed slightly, as though he was feeling guilty.

"If Your Highness asks this subordinate, then this subordinate will naturally answer truthfully."

"Alright, it's not like this duke has said much. In the next few days, Peach Blossom Princess will be under your care."

Hearing his words, Qi Feng frowned, as a difficult expression appeared on his face.

"Why?"

Seeing him like that, Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Qi Feng withdrew his gaze and after hesitating for a moment, he bravely said: "Prince, this subordinate will follow the princess. After all, men and women are different, so if I go down to take care of them, it will harm the princess' reputation."

"Is that so?"

Yan Yuan looked like he did not mind, but following that, he said as a matter of fact, "I don't have any other women by my side that can take care of her."

This time when he left the capital, he was surrounded by hidden guards. Other than Liu Ruo Qing and Xia Tao Hua, all the rest were men.

Even if Liu Ruo Qing was a man now, even if she was a woman, Yan Yuan would not let her take care of Xia Tao Hua.

Qi Feng, "..."

So, why must he go? Wasn't it fine for Tianshu and the others as well?

He could imagine if it was Tianshu and the others who took care of Xia Tao Hua, Qi Feng discovered that he was even more unhappy in his heart.

You are this king's guard, and also a third ranked middle ranked general. Speaking of which, your status is no lower than Xia Tao Hua's, so you going to take care of her is her fortune. "

Right now, since the two of them were not even married, Xia Tao Hua's status could not be compared to Qi Feng's, but no matter what, she was still the future secondary wife of the King Jing.

Qi Feng looked at Yan Yuan, as though he still had something to say.

Yan Yuan squinted his eyes, and said: "Could it be that you want a man like me to serve a woman?"

"This subordinate would not dare."

"Then it's a deal, tomorrow morning we will depart, you can go back to your room to rest."

"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave."

Qi Feng looked at Yan Yuan again, and suddenly felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Did he have to remind the prince that anyways, it wasn't as if he had never done things like taking care of women before. In the past, taking care of an imperial concubine had been much easier for him.

He truly regretted not telling his wife about the uncooked Boiled Fish she had eaten that day while she was still alive. It had been the prince himself who had cooked it.

Qi Feng thought retaliatingly in his heart. In the end, he didn't have the guts to take action.

Due to the urgent situation, they set out early the next morning. They headed towards the Huiyang City.

The group continued their way towards the south. The closer they got to the Huiyang City, the less people there were around them. On the way, they saw a few nearby towns and cities, all of which were fleeing for their lives.

It was very clear that the current situation in the Huiyang City was perhaps even more serious than they had imagined.

At the same time, there was a shocking news being spread all over the capital.

Grand Tutor Pang Jing had colluded with the xieqing and plotted against them.

The specific situation was not stated, but the fact that the Grand Preceptor Pang was willing to act like a traitor was enough to exterminate his clan.

This news was obtained from the unconscious Scholar Shen and his niece, Shen Qin. The reason why she was unconscious, and almost died, was because she thought that the Grand Preceptor Pang had attempted to silence her.

Originally, just based on Shen Qin's words alone, it would not really shock the Grand Preceptor Pang, nor did it make those followers of the Grand Preceptor Pang believe it.

But perhaps it was because he was guilty of being a thief, and because he was not sure how much evidence Yan Xiao had on him that he wanted to sell his country, when the news of Shen Qin's awakening was spread, before anyone could find out about his collusion with another country, she had brought her family and ran out of the capital city.

As a result, when this news came out, everyone believed it, even including the followers of Grand Preceptor Pang.

Now, the ministers who had been following the Grand Preceptor Pang all this time were like headless flies, and didn't know what to do.

There were also some more clear-headed ones like Prime Minister Wang and Yan Xiao who immediately went to look for their next backer.

But how could those who had followed the Grand Preceptor Pang and disagreed with the three of them pay attention to them?

For a moment, the ministers who were originally with Grand Preceptor Pang were afraid that they would be implicated by Grand Preceptor Pang and accused of being traitors, causing them to be constantly anxious.

In his heart, he had long scolded Grand Preceptor Pang.

And at this time, Grand Preceptor Pang, who had been scolded into dog shit by them, was currently on a horse carriage that was speeding rapidly towards the south. On the horse carriage, other than Grand Preceptor Pang, there was no one else.

Grand Preceptor Pang was woken up by the carriage's violent jolting. He was tied to the carriage with both his hands, his body moving along the carriage.

When he woke up, he realized his situation and his heart sank. After all, he was an experienced elder of the three dynasties, so he immediately calmed down and shouted to the person driving the carriage, "Stop! "Stop the car for this old man!"
