"Master?" Zhou Zhiqian was scared witless. He discovered that Dongfang Wenming had an unwritten conditioned reflex. It seemed that as long as he provoked the little emperor, his master would be furious. His originally good temper seemed to be unable to be restrained no matter how hard he tried!
Swallowing his saliva, Zhou Zhizhi laughed dryly, "Don't worry, Master. Gongsun won't dare to find trouble with Gongzi anymore! Haven't you already … "
Dongfang Wenming gouged him out with his eyes. It was as if there was a mass of resentment in this small courtyard! I can't say what it feels like, but it's so cold that it makes one's heart tremble!
"Does the crown prince really say that?" He finally spoke.
Only then did Zhou Zhizhi heave a sigh of relief, "To reply to Master, the scouts would not dare to lie, so of course it would be to tell the truth! "Master, it's a good thing that you have the crown prince protecting our young master. At least what happened last night won't happen again!"
"What is that thing called Chung Fu?" A useless trash can even protect her? " Dongfang Buming glanced at the black and white chess pieces on the board. He frowned and said, "I'll just treat it as playing around with her!"
Zhou Zhiqian was stunned. Was this grandpa trying to comfort himself?
"Master?" "Young master's relationship with the crown prince …"
"They are not friends!" Dongfang Wenming interrupted him, "They will never be friends! Have you sent all the letters that I've asked you to send over? "
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhizhi whispered, "Master, if master knew it was you …"
"So what if I know?" Dongfang Wenming snorted lightly, "You brat, you haven't grown any hair yet, but you still dare to have any ideas about me. You don't even know how you died!" With that said, he immediately left.
Zhou Zhiqian touched his lower jaw, lightly patting his own cheeks, "Your Highness didn't have such a violent temper before? "What's going on?!"
Dongfang Wenming also didn't know what had happened to him. He pushed open the door and looked at the empty house. The light in his eyes slightly faded. The courtyard was still the same as when she first left the house. The quilt was still left on the ground. Beside the tree in the corner, there was still the imprint of her shoes!
From the very beginning, he knew that this little girl wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. Who would have thought that not only would it not save him, but it would also cause him to bleed!
Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, Dongfang Wenming felt a headache coming on. He thought of the girl obediently standing in front of Zhong Fu, and the girl pretending to be mute in Zhong Fu's arms. With a flick of his sleeve, he smashed the table to pieces with a single palm strike!
It was the wolf cub he raised, how could he cry in someone else's arms?!
What kind of words were these?
But he couldn't find someone to settle the score with now that the chess game was open. He was the one who wanted to use her as a chess piece, and it was too late to go back on his words now! Just endure it! Those ants had already begun to move, as long as he continued to wait … And so on...
However, Zhao Jing wasn't someone who would just sit still and do nothing!
Zhao Jing's mind was full of plans. He only wanted to erase all traces of his existence before the East became clear, not to mention that he had Zhong Fu as her protective talisman! In the current situation, Gongsun Zhen and Lin Gao didn't dare to do anything to Zhong Fu. In other words, they didn't dare to do anything to her!
Right now, she was most worried about Jing Hong. If Jing Hong was able to bring everyone with him and leave Jiangbei, then Zhao Jing's identity wouldn't be as important as before! Since ancient times, there had always been such a thing as an emperor. There was nothing strange about it!
In the worst case scenario, he could say that he had found a substitute in the palace, and this wouldn't implicate the Regent's Mansion, which would eliminate Dongfang Wuming from the crime of secretly leaving the capital. Everything was prepared for her, as long as she was safe and sound! As long as they left Jiangbei!
"Little Mute, what happened to you?" Zhong Fu frowned as he saw her stance of standing with her hands behind her back. With a faint worry, he said, "Don't worry, I've already found a helper. You will be able to leave the prison safely!"
Zhao Jing furrowed his brows. How could anyone else in the Great Qin Prefecture be more stubborn than Gongsun Zhen? Even he, the heir to the Duke Palace, was unable to bring her away cleanly. At most, he could be suppressed with power. But now, Zhong Fu said that someone had allowed her to leave the prison safely. Wasn't this a joke?
and so on...
Zhao Jing suddenly straightened his body and poured himself a cup of water. He dipped his finger in the water and wrote two words on the table.
"Prime Minister?" Zhong Fu smiled. "Do you take me for a fool? This son of mine is wise and is a martial god, how can he find bad luck for himself? Prime Minister Ke Boyu, this young master didn't even have the time to dodge him. How could you take the initiative to send him to my doorstep!? "If he finds out that my honored prince left the feudal fiefdom, he will definitely cause trouble!"
Zhao Jing frowned slightly, but continued to look at him with suspicion.
"Hey hey hey, don't stare at me like that, what I said was the truth!" "All right, all right, I'll tell you the truth. The person I'm looking for is called Li Rui, and he's a businessman, but I don't think he's as simple as a businessman! "
Zhao Jing stared at him.
Zhong Fu continued, "He helped me find out what happened in the case of the Shocking Flood Pavilion, and also got the confession of the bawd and turtle conspiring to kill Mei Er. Even the poison was found in the bawd's room. "Speaking of which, this person is extremely smart. He even found out that Gongsun Zhen is behind it!"
"However, a smart person's brain is different from normal people like us. Even with my intelligence, I still can't figure out what he is thinking." Zhong Fu pursed his lips, "He doesn't want to be a rich and powerful person, nor do he want to be famous, as long as it's a debt of gratitude! "You say that there is such a strange person in this world?"
Zhao Jing felt a chill run down his spine. This fool didn't even know that he had met Ke Boyu. He actually thought that he was a strange person!
Cobb called his pseudonym Leary, using her as bait and luring the Chimes into a trap.
Zhong Fu had never been to the capital before, so he naturally did not know of Cobb's true appearance nor did he know of Cobb's methods!
"Little mute, your complexion doesn't look too good!" Zhong Fu looked at her in puzzlement. "What's wrong?" "Is there something wrong?"
His fingertips were stained with water. Zhao Jing then wrote, "What did you promise him?"
Zhong Fu did not think much of it. "My Phoenix City is known as the Duke Palace's Zhong Family. "Since he said that as long as it's a debt of gratitude, I will naturally promise him that if he comes across any difficulties in the future, as long as it doesn't go against the principles of the martial arts world, everyone will agree with him!"
Zhao Jing was furious. How could he casually allow something like this to happen?
As the Young Master of Phoenix City, did he not know that his father was the king and was in charge of over a hundred thousand troops of Phoenix City? If Cobb had something to do with it, it wasn't a favor! If Wang Zhong, Zhang Chang Tian, and Cobb were to meet each other, wouldn't the mountains and rivers of Grand Xia be swaying in the wind and rain?
"Little mute, you don't look too happy!" "What's the matter with you?"
You still have the nerve to ask? He was about to overturn her rivers and mountains, and she still dared to ask him what to do?!
Zhao Jing had nowhere to use his fire. Right now, he only hoped that Jing Rong would be faster and that everyone would be able to retreat in the shortest time possible. As for everything else … Since it had already come to a conclusion, he decided to take it step by step!
Taking a deep breath, she sat aside with a cold face, ignoring him.
Zhong Fu was confused, but how could this person be so angry just like that? Come to think of it, he didn't know what his mistake was. What did he do to make Little Mute unhappy?
In fact, after returning from the Cloud Cave, Jing Hong had given the order to evacuate Jiangbei Province as soon as possible.
However, the Lin Mansion and the Darchu Mansion were the most affected areas. Initially, they had followed the orders of their superiors to stir up trouble between the Residence of Regent and the Residence of Great Fu. They had arranged for many people to leave, but were unable to do so in a short period of time!
After the first group of people had sent them off, the martial law of the river had already been applied. It was very easy for boats to encounter patrolling official ships. The further they went, the harder it was for them to leave Jiangbei.
Jing Hong was worried about Zhao Jing in the yamen's prison, so he quietly made his way back to the city. Who knew that before he had even returned to the city, he would already sense that something was wrong.
As the number one lady of Fleeting Pavilion, she was more familiar with this pavilion than anyone else! He silently snuck into the Lighthouse of the Flowing Lightning Pavilion. It had been rummaged through by someone before, and both the Brothel Keeper and Mr Turtle were no longer there. There were hidden guards inside Fleeting Flower Pavilion. If she wasn't so powerful and so familiar with this place, she would have been surrounded and captured already!
If there was such a situation inside the Lighthouse, then what about the magistrate court's prison?
Jing Hong immediately turned and left. No matter what, Zhao Jing couldn't afford to let anything happen to him!
The night was hazy, a corner of a temple.
Jing Hong was dressed in black and holding his sword, he looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone is here?"
"Yes sir!" Everyone in the audience was dressed in black, and they bowed towards Jing Hong, "All who can walk past the river was last night, the rest are here. "I don't know why, but after nightfall, martial law was imposed on the river and no one was able to leave since the city was filled with government ships."
Jing Hong's expression was solemn. "Official ship?"
"Yes!" The underlings were very sure, "Last night, after we sent our men out of Jiangbei at the fastest speed possible, at dawn, official ships began to patrol the surface of the river, but tonight … There's no way to take advantage of this, and you can't even get through the gaps! "
Jing Hong straightened his body. "Official ship? The official ship of the Danzhou Prefecture? "
"Yes sir!" The people below nodded. "We can be sure that it is indeed an official ship of the Danzhou Prefecture! It seems that Lin Gaojiao sensed our presence, so he set up a barrier. After nightfall, even the road to the city has been blocked, and strict investigation has been conducted. At night, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gates! "
"Besides, there are soldiers patrolling outside the city. Every household has their doors closed and doors locked. You are not allowed to go out at night!" The voice from below was weak, "Protector, we..." Is he a turtle in a jar? "
Jing Hong took a deep breath. "Even if we become turtles in a jar, we have to protect Young Master Zhao completely! With the life of the Palace Master, we have completed this oath! "
"Yes sir!" Everyone immediately kowtowed.
"All of you, stay here and wait for my signal." Jing Hong turned around.
"Protect?" The people in the audience exclaimed, "Where are you going?"
Jing Hong straightened his body. "I have to go to the dungeon!"
"The last time you led a group of people to the prefectural yamen, something almost happened. If …"
Looking at the sword in his hand, Fleeting Time's gaze turned cold. "You know there's a tiger on the mountain, so why don't you go on this mountain path? Asgard Master ordered, even if I have to die, I must do everything I can! If I go here... If I don't come back, find a time to leave Jiangbei! The situation in Jiangbei will soon be tidied up. If you continue to stay, you will only end up as food for others! Young Master Zhao is indeed far-sighted, otherwise, none of you will be able to escape! "
Fortunately, most of the main force had been sent away, so the news could be sent to the capital as soon as possible.
As the sound of his voice faded, Jing Hong left. At this point, they were already fighting for time.
A faint fragrance filled the dungeon as Zhong Fu protected Zhao Jing. Each of them used a handkerchief soaked in water to cover their noses and mouths. The sleeping incense was a common tactic used by the martial arts world, who would have thought that … Yet they were being used against the two of them!
However, this method could only hold them back for a short period of time. In the end, the two of them were still able to absorb a lot of smoke.
Zhao Jing began to feel weak and powerless, and everything in his line of sight began to sway …
"Little Mute?" "Don't go to sleep! You must hold on! "
