The East was still in the dark, so he couldn't leave the city openly. Instead, it was Uncle Ke who brazenly followed Gongsun Zhen's carriage from afar. Even though he followed along, he didn't dare to rashly step forward. He could only send his men up to negotiate with Gongsun Zhen.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Jing raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Zhen's ashen face. "Do as I say. Everything will be agreed upon!"

"If we do as I said, the emperor will really let me go?" Gongsun was weak.

Zhao Jing slowly moved closer to him. "Where did you get this broken wrist? Do you need me to remind you?"

Gongsun Zhen tensed his body. "Your majesty has a golden mouth for words, this lowly one naturally believes, but …" It's just that the person outside is the Prime Minister, and there's also the Regent … If they go back on their word, I will still die! "

"This is your last chance to escape!" Zhao Jing looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. "If you go by the water path, then get someone to pretend that you're bringing me to the Morning Dawn Peak. By the time they realized what you're doing, you had already left the borders of Jiangbei." From then on, whether you come out of seclusion or hide your name, won't you be free to do as you wish? "

Gongsun was drenched in cold sweat.

The envoy returned to report, "Prime Minister, the criminal is unwilling to negotiate, we can't do anything!"

"You bastard, you can't do anything!" Then he continued, "Keep watching. If he dares to make a move on the emperor, kill him without mercy! What a piece of trash! "

However, Zhong Fu sneered, "Don't scold those servants of yours. The lord has no use whatsoever, so naturally, the servant will follow the lord!" With that, Zhong Fu walked forward.

"What is the Crown Prince trying to do?" Cobb stopped him at once.

Zhong Fu looked at him coldly, "You don't even have this much vision, how can you be the Prime Minister?" Your trash is useless because the weight of your trash is too clear. But this prince was different! This son of mine is wise and wise; he is extremely intelligent. As long as I go there, Gongsun will certainly be willing to talk to me! At that time, Gongsun might really be persuaded by me to let the little Emperor go! It is the highest stratagem of a soldier's family to not kill with their own blood! "

"No way!" "If even the crown prince is in trouble, then …"

"The Prime Minister seems to have forgotten something!" Zhong Fu coldly gouged him out, "I am the young master of Phoenix City, not a dog of the imperial government. It is not the Prime Minister's turn to worry!"

With these words, Zhong Fu pushed aside the guards who were blocking the way and strode into the forest towards the horse carriage.

Prince Fu stepped forward. "Master, if anything happens to the prince, the Zhong family of the Duke's Mansion will probably cause trouble for the imperial government!"

"We must at least stop this willful little ancestor!" "But, if something really happens to Zhong Fu, it's not just me who will be out of luck!" He looked around, "I'm afraid some of the people who are hiding in the dark may not be able to escape! We all share the same blessings and share the same difficulties! "

Hearing that it was Zhong Fu who had come to negotiate, Gongsun Zhen's voice trembled. "Your majesty, what should we do?"

"Didn't you always worry that you wouldn't be able to leave? Are you worried that This Emperor's promise will go uncounted? " Zhao Jing smiled gently. "I'll give you another talisman now. Do you want it?"

Gongsun Zhen frowned. "Your Majesty's meaning is …"

"This Emperor bestowed you with a protective talisman!" Zhao Jing smiled, a meaningful smile on his face.

Zhong Fu did not expect that Gongsun would actually agree to let him see the Emperor. He was surprised for a moment, but he did not care about anything else. He quickly followed her into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Jing leisurely leaned against the wall of the carriage. The ropes around his feet had already been untied, but his hands were still tied!

"Bastard, you dare to treat His Majesty like this!" Zhong Fu gnashed his teeth.

"There's no need to scold them. It was my own request." Zhao Jing raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "The Crown Prince is a kind-hearted person. To be able to ignore his past and ignore it really moved me." "I wonder if Your Highness can do me a favor and treat it as I owe you this favor!"

Zhong Fu sat across her in confusion, staring at her. After that, he suspiciously looked at Gongsun Zhen. It was as if he had noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After some thought, Zhong Fu lowered his voice and asked, "What exactly happened to you?"

"We have all been used by Dongfang Wenming!" Zhao Jing whispered, "This Emperor only found out now."

"What?" Zhong Fu was startled.

"I won't be able to explain it clearly in a short period of time. I'll explain it in detail to you when the dust has settled!" Zhao Jing took a deep breath. "Right now, I need you to do two things for me!" I hope Crown Prince can consider the relationship between you and Little Mute! "

Zhong Fu frowned, "What are you trying to do?"

"I have something for you. You bring this thing to protect Gongsun Zhen after getting off the carriage. Afterwards, you help him cross the river and leave Jiangbei." Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "Next up, I'll go to the Rising Dawn Peak and attract Dongfang Wenming's appearance. We'll have to suffer so much because we're in a daze! We'll need to properly calculate this matter with Dongfang Wenming!" However, he has been hiding in the dark the entire time. This Emperor will force him to show himself! "

"What did you say?" Zhong Fu's eyes widened as he looked at Zhao Jing in disbelief. "Are you saying that we were forced into a corner and were ordered by the eastern region?"

Gongsun Zhen immediately kowtowed, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I had to do this because I was forced to! This pain, this little one will not dare to repeat it a second time! Your Highness, please forgive me! "

Zhong Fu groaned as he leaned against the wall of the carriage. The corners of his mouth were twitching, as if he was already so angry that he was trembling. Great! The East didn't know, yet he didn't even let me go. He drugged me and left me in that damn place. This caused me to be frightened. This debt … I can't just let it go like this! My name is Wang Mansion's people, and I am not so easily bullied! "

The people of the East did not understand. This was simply going too far!

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" "Are you sure you can force Dongfang not to show up? And then, you will deal with Dongfang Wenming on your own? "

Zhao Jing chuckled. "He has a good plan. I have a ladder to the wall!" Eastward Illumination was nearby, but this time … "I will make him leave empty-handed!"

"But, why go to Dawn Peak? Then what kind of place is Dawn Peak? " "What's so special about that place?"

Gongsun Zhen trembled as he spoke, "Your Highness, you might not know this, but the Morning Dawn Peak is hard to attack and there is only one way up the mountain. But... It's also a dead end. Down the mountain, one can only climb down the cliff. There is no other way! "

Zhong Fu sucked in a cold breath. "You're risking your own life again!"

"Didn't Dongfang Wenming use me as bait as well?" Zhao Jing didn't think much of it. "People have to be more ruthless towards themselves in order to be even more ruthless towards others!" Dawn Peak was a place that was easy to defend but hard to attack. No matter how many Dark Guards there were in the east, they would not be able to make a move. Therefore, when that time comes, he will have to come personally! "

"That's true!" Zhong Fu revealed a troubled expression. "But if you do that, what if you fail …"

"The throne was given to him by him, and his life is also his. He can't bear to part with it!" Zhao Jing mumbled to himself. She spoke very softly, so softly that only she could hear, but her voice was a faint chill that even she did not dare look directly at. If he couldn't even control his own life, how was he going to end his days?

"Your majesty?" Zhong Fu shouted in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Jing came back to his senses. "It's nothing!" She took out a bag from her waist and handed it to Zhong Fu. "After you leave, just sprinkle the contents into the river!"

"What is this?" Zhong Fu did not understand as he widened his eyes. "You're not asking me to poison the river, are you?"

"What nonsense?" Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "This is only quicklime that you've brought from the cellar. Use it with ease!"

"What do you do with it in the river?" What kind of joke is this? "

"By the way, how is the water?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Since you came from Phoenix City, how could you not be good at swimming?" Zhong Fu put the bag away in his pocket. "I don't mind telling you, even if I have to swim around in this river, I can still breathe without taking a breather!"

She knew that he was bragging, but she knew more or less about the matters in Phoenix City from Shi Zhonggu. For example, the Zhong Family's son and daughter's first ability was to swim in the water! He had heard that Zhong Changtian was unable to swim well in the past, and once, he was found out by a scout while he was out fighting. Who knew that person would be able to escape with his tail between his legs? Therefore, in that battle, Zhong Zhangtian lost with extreme difficulty.

From then on, Zhong Changtian forced the Zhong Family's children to learn water. As Zhong Fu was Zhong Zhangtian's only son, Zhao Jing inferred that his ability to swim should be better than an ordinary person's! Zhong Zhangtian's requirements for him should also be higher!

However, Zhong Fu didn't believe in Zhao Jing. How could he possibly do something like this with such a small bag in his hands? However, when he saw Zhao Jing's calm and composed appearance, Zhong Fu clenched his teeth and decided to believe him for the time being!

As the sky darkened, Cobalt stared in the direction of the forest and asked, "Why hasn't the Crown Prince come out yet?"

"Master, are we still negotiating? Maybe even the crown prince has been taken down! " Prince Fu was worried. "The Crown Prince's kung fu is nothing more than a three-legged cat. If Gongsun really does threaten His Majesty, then …" Would the crown prince give up hope? "

"Naturally." "Today, Ben will definitely not act rashly!"

Fuzi didn't understand. "Then if His Majesty or the crown prince makes a mistake and the imperial government or the famed prince blames them, won't they vent their anger on the prime minister?"

"Not yet!" Cobb sneered. "Isn't there a regent in front of me?" This prime minister was sent to investigate the official food case, but who would have thought that the crown prince would be in trouble and the Regent would not save him. Aren't civil officials like us even less willing to help? "

"I am right!" Fuzi bowed.

The scout hurried over, "Prime Minister, the carriage is starting to move!"

"What?" "What direction?"

"South!" "Sir, are we still going to chase after him?"

"Chase!" "Remember, don't get too close. Keep your distance!"

Whether he could save her was one thing, but losing her was another.

"Yes sir!" The scout left in a hurry.

He intentionally lost someone, or else he accidentally lost someone. Cobalt was also the reincarnation of a fox, so naturally he knew what was going on and intentionally kept his distance. He turned back to Fuzi and said, "Have the dark guards attack!"

Fuzi understood, "Understood!"

Everyone was staring at the carriage and chasing it. They didn't know that in the dark forest, Gongsun Zhen and Zhong Fu had already quietly alighted from the carriage. Zhong Fu wasn't too happy about Zhao Jing's arrangements. Such an exciting matter actually caused the little Emperor to go by himself. This was too disgraceful! However, if he didn't follow Zhao Jing's plan, then he would inevitably harm the little Emperor if something went wrong. After thinking about it, it was better to settle Gongsun Jianyun first!

"I really don't understand. With a despicable and despicable person like you, why would the Emperor say that he would definitely let you go?" Zhong Fu was as cold as ice as he ran with Gongsun Zhen to the side of the river.

Gongsun Zhen had long since prepared to leave Jiangbei. He had even secretly prepared a boat. The boatman had long since been waiting in the woods by the river, waiting for Gongsun Zhen to appear.

"What a well-planned plan!" Chung Fu boarded the boat.

The boatman gradually steered the boat into the river. Gongsun had been serving in the Danzhou Prefecture for so many years. So what if Lin Gaojiao had dispatched all the official ships? The flaw could not escape from Gongsun Zhen's eyes!

Carefully opening the cloth bag, Zhong Fu sprinkled the white powder into the river.

A small flame shot up into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

"This is bad!" Gong Sun screamed, "We've been cheated!"
