Since the crown prince was in the prison, the guards didn't dare to lock the door. Therefore, the door had been left unlocked. The guards outside were all confused and fell to the ground.
As the tiredness hit him, Zhao Jing was unable to open his eyes. Apart from his mind, which was still somewhat clear, his four limbs were completely out of control. She could hear the sound of his weak cries, and she could hear the sound of footsteps hurrying towards her, but … He just couldn't react!
As the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground, Zhao Jing collapsed into Zhong Fu's arms.
Before she arrived, she used all her strength to break open a slit between her eyes and absentmindedly saw that familiar face. She forced out a smile and asked weakly, "You're here?"
"Little Mute!" Zhong Fu was stunned.
Little Mute... Did he speak?
Zhong Fu's vision went black. In the end, he was unable to block this extremely strong knockout drug!
"The higher-ups have ordered us to bring them all back as soon as possible!" Several black-clothed men immediately put Zhong Fu and Zhao Jing into a sack and quickly left with the sacks slung over their shoulders.
In the gloomy cellar, two sacks were thrown to the ground.
The crippled Gongsun was extremely weak. At this moment, he was leaning against the chair, coldly staring at the two sacks beneath his feet. He stretched out his leg and kicked. "It's all here?"
"Grand Master, don't worry. They're all here!" The leader of the men in black laughed so hard that his facial features looked like a pile, "With such a large quantity of medicine, let alone two people, even an ox would be put down for you!"
"That's good!" Gongsun Zhen's voice was hoarse.
It was unknown if it was because of the pain or the anger, but his ferocious face was twisted into a mess. He was already as thin as a stick, but now, it felt like he was being blown away by the wind.
Amidst the tearing, Zhao Jing snorted coldly. Within his blurry vision, there were a few shadows moving about. He was waiting for her to shake her head and try to see what was in front of her, but he suddenly froze on the spot. Her body was bound by all sorts of factors, and the sedative in her body had not completely subsided. Even if she sensed danger and wanted to escape, her hands and feet were still weak and she could not struggle!
Zhong Fu was also tied up, and was lying unconscious on the ground.
Zhao Jing raised his head and saw Gongsun Zhen's ghost-like face in the candlelight.
"You're awake?" Gongsun Zhen's lips turned pale. "If you're awake, open your eyes wide and take a good look. Otherwise, you won't have another chance!" He slowly raised his broken wrist, "Do you know why you are here? Do you know why my hands are like this? "
Zhao Jing was finally able to clearly see the white color on his wrist!
Gongsun Zhen's wrist was wrapped in a thick bandage, revealing faint traces of dark red blood! His entire right palm had been chopped off. No wonder his face was pale like a sheet of paper. When he opened his eyes and was glaring, his eyes were bloodshot and almost hideous.
When he moved his severed wrist closer, Zhao Jing subconsciously moved his body backwards.
Even through the bandages, she could smell the thick scent of blood. Her stomach started rolling as she glared at Gongsun Zhen, who was just inches away from her. Her brain was still somewhat muddled. Before she had fainted, she had clearly seen Dongfang Wenming. How could he have become Gongsun Zhen just by opening his eyes? Could it be that he was seeing things? Or is it... Dreaming every day? Because he had saved her last time, so … At the most dangerous moment, all she could think of was him!
Zhong Fen snorted and tried to open his eyes. His mind was blank. He had no idea where he was right now!
Suddenly, Zhong Fu was shocked and alarmed as his consciousness suddenly turned!
That's right, they were completely captivated by the smoke!
Where is this?
Zhong Fu wanted to stand up, but he was startled to find that he was tied up tightly!
"Yo, the crown prince is awake too?" Gongsun Zhen laughed coldly, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. His fierce face became even more frightening, "Is Crown Prince thirsty?" Hungry? Do you want a small one to get you something to eat and drink? How about some human blood! It can both relieve hunger and satisfy one's craving! "
As he spoke, Gongsun Zhen stretched out his hand, and his underling took out a short blade and placed it in his hand.
The shiny, short blade emanated a biting cold light. It was as if there was no blood on it, and it would not give up!
Zhao Jing tensed up, not daring to move an inch. The knife did not have eyes. This Gongsun was a person who had gone mad. Once the knife came down, not only would he not be able to save the world, he would also lose his life!
"Stop!" "What are you doing?" "Gongsun Zhen, if you dare to touch him, I'll let you die without a burial ground!"
"Died without a burial ground?" Gongsun smiled weakly, and his underlings hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
Playing with the short blade in his hand, Gongsun Zhen's face was as white as paper, "Do you think I'm any different from dying here?" He shook his broken wrist, shocking Zhong Fu to the point that his eyes widened. He didn't understand why he felt so terrified.
"Even the crown prince is afraid?" Gongsun Zhen sighed softly, "Does the crown prince know what it was like when I was pressed down there and lost a hand? It's even better than what you have now! "
"That person said, he was supposed to cripple an arm. He should have suffered that fate if he had touched someone he should not have! However, if a person had an arm or a leg broken, they would die easily. People would not be able to reach the essence of punishment if they died! The loss of a single hand isn't a big deal, and there's no danger to his life. Furthermore, he can make others remember this pain and pain for the rest of their lives! "
Zhao Jing's mind rumbled as it exploded. He suddenly thought of that clear, angular face in the east.
It was as if only that person could be so ruthless and decisive!
"Who?" Zhong Fu's facial expression changed. "Who is so ruthless?" Even though he had seen his father kill people as easily as he could, he had never felt such viciousness before.
Zhong Fu was slightly frightened. As the young man walked out of his house, he felt that the outside world was filled with freedom. Who knew that there would be such a dark side to it!
"Then we have to ask the crown prince about this little mute that he wants to protect so much!" Gongsun Zhen laughed mockingly, "I'm afraid that your highness still doesn't know the true identity of this person? "Then I will tell the crown prince, who exactly is this little mute!"
Zhong Fu was stunned. "What?"
"He's a spy from Beijing!" Gongsun Zhen's knife slowly moved across Zhao Jing's face. That bone-piercing coldness seeped into his face and slowly seeped into his bone marrow, spreading to his limbs and bones!
"There is more than just Prime Minister Ke Er calling for a single person, there is also a mysterious power in the capital!" That is the Regent, the uninformed one from the east! " "This little mute who pretends to be dumb, he's basically a spy sent by Dongfang Wenming to spy on us! He's a spy! Sneaking into the Darchu Prefecture to gather information for the Regent. On the surface, he seemed to be on good terms with the Crown Prince, but in reality, he was secretly working for the Regent's Estate! Crown Prince, the person you should kill the most is him! He lied to you, he's not dumb at all! "
Suddenly, Zhong Fu recalled the scene from before he lost consciousness. He could clearly hear Little Mute speaking.
What did he say?
Little Mute said, "You're here?"
You're here?
Yes... Dongfang Buming, you're here?!
Zhong Fu stared fixedly at Zhao Jing. "Is what he said true?" You've been lying to me. You're not a mute, you're a spy! "
"I'm not dumb, but …" Zhao Jing looked at him. "I'm not a spy!"
"If you weren't a spy, why was it that when I wanted to kill you that day, I was chopped off by Dongfang Wenming? "Could it be that this hand was chopped off by me?" Gongsun Zhen's emotions were stirred up, and the dagger instantly left a shallow cut on Zhao Jing's cheek.
Zhao Jing straightened her body as the veins on her neck bulged. The ice-cold pain made her involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.
Putting away the knife, Gongsun was so weak that he was pulled back into his chair and leaned against it. Just like that, he narrowed his eyes from the pain. It was like a pair of ghostfire placed inside a skeleton. With bloodthirsty hatred in his ruthless and ruthless eyes, he asked, "Who the hell are you?"
This was also one of the questions in Zhong Fu's heart. Little Mute was not a mute, so just who was he? He only knew that Little Mute's name was Zhao Jing!
"Dongfang Wenming didn't tell you who I am?" Zhao Jing forced herself up and sat on the ground. She let out a long breath. "That's why you didn't dare to kill me so rashly. All you could do was hide me!" Gongsun Zhen, do you believe that as long as I say it, not to mention the fact that you are still in the East, you won't even be spared from being called by Ke Bo! "
Gongsun Zhen sneered, "He's just a spy, how dare he spout such arrogant words? However, this place is extremely well hidden and no one knows about it. I do not believe that Dongfang Ming will be able to find you! "
"Do you really think Dongfang Wenming is as stupid as you, stupid enough to go into jail and kill me and then try to hide it from me?" Zhao Jing sneered. "Who knows, he might even be waiting nearby right now. If you dare to go out, he'll chop off your legs like he did your hands!" Do you know how to cut your waist? If he were to cut him in half, he wouldn't die on the spot. His limbs would still be conscious. You will see yourself cut in half, and then your intestines will leak out and blood will spray out! "
"Shut up!" Gongsun Zhen was so excited that he almost touched his wound. At this moment, he was clutching his broken wrist tightly as he curled up on the chair like a hedgehog.
"Little Mute!" Zhong Fu stared at her.
Zhao Jing lowered his eyebrows. After some thought, he met his eyes. "I didn't plan on pretending to be dumb, but since you called me Little Mute …" I'm not a person who likes to explain! "Your Highness, I didn't mean to lie to you. I had to!"
"Then are you really not a spy from the Regent's Estate?" Beauvoir asked.
Zhao Jing nodded, his face covered in blood. "Crown Prince, if the time comes, I will tell you about my identity." But there's one thing I didn't lie to you about, and that is what I told you, my name! "
Zhong Fu smiled. "That's right, I was the one who shouted the name. It was indeed not you who told me!"
"Grand master, Lord Lin will bring the prime minister to inspect the treasury as soon as the sun rises. We've pretty much packed our things, don't we …" The underlings asked in hushed tones.
Zhao Jing slightly creased his brow. "I've never been able to understand. If you have any grudges with me, just grab me. There's no need to touch the son of the Duke's Mansion. Isn't that the same as digging your own grave?" Now I understand, you want to run away! The storage room is empty, you guys are trying to pack up and leave! "
"You shut up!" Gongsun felt weak and took the medicine shakily, "Shut up!" If it weren't for me taking care of the capital all these years, would he, Lin Gao, be able to be so carefree and carefree? All of this is mine, I should get it back! What's wrong with me? "
"For the good of the people, you are a man of the people, and you are a man of your own making, and you boast that you are wrong? Even though you are only a Grand Master, you are still someone who will receive the salary of the imperial court. If you know the law and are breaking the law, what crime should you be punished for? " Zhao Jing's words were harsh.
Gongsun Zhen slammed the table and stood up, but he forgot that he was injured. He immediately cried out in pain and rolled on the ground.
The servants quickly went up to support him. Led by him, the scene immediately became chaotic.
The pain of a broken wrist surpassed the pain of having ten fingers linked to the heart. Gongsun Zhen fainted on the spot from the pain. Zhao Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she watched these people frantically carry Gongsun Zhen out, her back was drenched in cold sweat!
