True move, Death Arrival!
These six words had been clearly spoken.
"Return to the capital!" Dongfang Wenming took her hand and led her forward.
The peach blossoms that had been crushed in her palm slowly fell to the ground. Zhao Jing glanced back at the peach forest, and his eyes darkened. When he returned, he would once more return to the palace, where the battles were unending. All the indifference and heartlessness of her life was contained within the square wall. Once she entered, she could only kill all the way to the end!
Zhao Jing didn't resist. Following Dongfang Wenming was inevitable, but she never had a choice.
The falcon had been circling above them all this time, its cry clearly transmitting messages. As a result, when they arrived at the end of the stream, Zhou Zhiqian was already there leading his team.
Dongfang Wenming let go of her hand. Suddenly, her palm became empty, and the warmth disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Master!" Zhou Zhizhi bowed, "Are you alright?"
"It's not like we're in a bottomless abyss. What can happen?" Dongfang Wenming responded blandly. He glanced at the people in front of him and asked, "Everyone's here?"
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhizi nodded, "Gongsun Zhen …"
Dongfang Wenming narrowed his eyes. "I already know."
Zhou Zhizhi was stunned.
"Arrange the underlings to act like we're going to split up." Dongfang Wenming turned around to glance at Zhao Jing. "Separate! Safe!"
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhiqian saluted and turned around to make the arrangements.
Three horses, three people, and the rest of the men were evacuated and sent back to the capital in disguise!
Zhou Zhizhi led the horse. "Your Majesty …" "Your wounds …"
"Don't worry about it!" Zhao Jing stroked his arm.
"What's the situation now?" Dongfang Wenming said.
Zhou Zhizhong recounted, "After Emperor and I went missing, Ke Bo Kui turned around and returned to the Daizhou Palace to take over Daizhou City due to the loss of the Emperor's tracks. "Gongsun Zhen has already confessed, and said …"
As Zhou Zhiji spoke, he stole a glance at Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "Gongsun is such a hypocrite. I will definitely blame all of my responsibilities on you." He said that he was only putting on an act with me, that everything was at my instigation and had nothing to do with him at all! How could I not know his thoughts? "Not daring to involve the Residence of the Regent, he placed the blame on me. Anyways, if I don't see him alive or with his corpse, no one will be able to verify whether his words are true or false!"
With that, she humphed twice. "So it really is that the young master has been bullied. The young emperor is not fit to be one!"
Zhou Zhizi looked at his master expressionlessly.
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhiqian nodded. "Gongsun Zhen has indeed pushed all the responsibility onto the Emperor. Speaking with Cobb, all of this was instigated by the Emperor. So the Emperor and the Regent had an accident and had nothing to do with him. He didn't participate or dare to participate!"
Dongfang Wenming paused his steps, "If you vomit fast, you die fast!"
Zhao Jing smiled coldly. "Do you think that pushing everything onto me is the best thing that can happen?" "Don't forget what it is that Cobb has summoned to the Dachshund!"
"The case concerning the government food!" Zhou Zhizhi was stunned. "Your majesty means …"
Dongfang Wenming let out a long sigh. "Cobb's Summoning killed Gongsun Zhen!"
"If we can pin this case against Gongsun Zhen, it will naturally be a seamless grafting!" Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "Gongsun Zhen has been in power for so many years. Whether it's the government's official rations or the Danzhou treasury, as long as they land on him, he will undoubtedly die! More importantly, the commoners would believe it too. Everyone knew that compared to Lin Zhaoge, this Grand Master Gongsun was the lord of the Prefecture Palace! This is the end of things! "
Zhou Zhizhong nodded, "So Cobb summoned Gongsun Zhen to conclude the official food case! The rumors and slanders from the Residence of Regent and the Residence of Taifu! "
Dongfang Wenming jumped onto his horse, "Let's find a place to rest."
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhiqian followed.
While tightening the reins of the horse, Dongfang Wenming turned around to look at Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing was looking at him.
The moment their gazes met, her expression immediately became tense. She quickly withdrew her gaze, urged her horse, and left. His cheeks were burning hot, and he felt as if his ears had been placed in a furnace.
"Your majesty?" Zhou Zhiqian hurriedly followed.
Subconsciously curled the corners of his lips, Dongfang Wenming spurred his horse to follow. The girl had too many thoughts. It was hard to avoid losing her mind. It was a pity that she was not aware of the situation.
In a farmhouse, Zhao Jing had changed his clothes, but he was still in a sorry state. His clothes were made of cloth, appearing extremely clean and neat. When he went out, he saw Dongfang Wenming chatting with Zhou Zhiqian. Zhou Zhizhi bowed and quickly left on his horse.
Hearing the movement behind her, Dongfang Wenming turned around. He looked at her with a serious expression, "Too skinny!"
Zhao Jing's expression turned cold. "It's fine if I'm a bamboo bug!"
He pursed his lips and gave a faint smile.
Zhao Jing glared at him and asked, "What should we do next?"
Looking at the splendid sunset, Dongfang Bu's eyes slightly darkened, "Crossing the river."
Along the way, they heard that the Dacheng Prefecture had opened a warehouse to provide relief. They also heard that this official food case was caused by Master Gongsun.
Gongsun really covets the law, keeping public for private, putting tens of thousands of people in water and fire without regard, bribing the water bandits, robbing the official ship, killing the official army, causing a human disaster, involving tens of thousands of people in Jiangbei to starve to death. His crimes were unforgivable, so he had to make a decision!
The one overseeing the execution was not Lin Gaojiao, but the current Lin Gaojiao was in the middle of providing food for the disaster.
Seeing the carriage approach, Lin Gao hastily stepped forward and greeted, "Honorable Prime Minister!"
Cobb lifted the curtain of the window and motioned for him to come up.
After getting on the carriage, Ke Er let out a long breath, "From now on, the Prefecture City is in Lord Lin's hands. I hope that Lord Lin can be clean and well, and do his duty as Mother and Father in this Prefecture City! "As officials, we eat official food while the people we trample on are commoners!"
"Before this official came to the Daizhou, I also understood that Gongsun was the previous Prefecture Overseer and had already taken charge of matters in the Daizhou Prefecture. Thus, even with the current situation, I can't blame all of you!"
Lin Gaojiao gave a wry smile, "At that time, this official had just taken office. Gongsun Zhen saw the official as a thorn in his side, and sent people to monitor him from head to toe. Although the title of Prefect was in the air, in the end, there was no real power! If there was no wind or snow, there would only be … A dead end! The Darchu Prefecture was Gongsun Zhen's old nest. He had been in charge of this place for many years, and had long since become entwined and unshakable! "Now that it has been removed, it can be said to be a huge problem for this official!"
As he finished speaking, Lin Gao bowed, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"
"No need to thank me!" "The official word is the word, the commoner is the heaven!" He replied with a smile, "I hope that Lord Lin will take good care of Danzhou City and take good care of yourself!"
Lin Gao respectfully left the carriage.
Today's execution platform was very lively!
It wasn't just Gongsun Zhen, even Gongsun Zhen's brother-in-law and subordinates were all completely uprooted by Uncle Ke. As for those minions, Lin Gao still wanted him to make an example out of them!
Even after the horse carriage had gone far away, Lin gao still did not get up.
Without Gongsun Zhen, Wang Beihe reentered the river, but there were still a few official boats on the river to ensure the integrity of the northern part of the river. Zhao Jing and Dongfang Wenming led their horses to the shore. They glanced at the familiar sight of the Qiangzhou before glancing at the river that separated the north and south of the river.
Gazing at the North River, his gaze gazing towards the north! In that split-second, Zhao Jing felt as if all that he had experienced in this period of time was nothing more than a dream!
When they arrived at the inn, Dongfang Wenming stopped. Zhao Jing thought that he was probably waiting for Zhou Zhiqiang.
Each person had a room, and the two lived side by side.
Who would've thought that just as Zhao Jing closed the door, he would hear someone knocking on it? His heart skipped a beat as he thought, What is Dongfang Ming trying to do? It wasn't easy for her to have a good bed to sleep in, could it be …
The door opened and a fist slammed into his face. Zhao Jing cried out in alarm as his body fell to the ground with a thud. When he opened his eyes again, the starlight was flying in all directions, and his vision was filled with colors.
"Zhao Jing, you bastard!" Zhong Fushui shouted.
As soon as his voice fell, he heard a bang. Zhong Fu was like a sandbag that had been tossed out. In Zhao Jing's line of sight, he drew a perfect arc across her head and ruthlessly slammed into the wall.
Zhong Fu groaned and could not get up for a long time.
"Your majesty?" Dongfang Wenming hastily lifted Zhao Jing up from the ground and placed him on the bed. "Where are you hurt?"
The only thing he was worried about was her injured arm. The wound had not been treated with medicine, and the only way to get here was by relying on her own physique. If there was anything good, something might happen to her.
"I didn't hurt my arm!" Zhao Jing hastily pressed his hand. "He only punched me!" When she spoke, it was probably because the nerves on her face were affected. She could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Dongfang Wenming looked at her red lips that had been beaten. Her lips were already bleeding, and it was probably because of the skin in her mouth. "Are you sure?"
Zhao Jing nodded. "I'm fine. I'm sure!" "Quickly go and visit the honored prince!" When the time comes, he would be in big trouble!
Hearing this, the man suddenly stretched out a hand, "I, don't pretend to be kind!" After taking a deep breath, Zhong Fu tried to get up and sat against the wall. "How dare you trick me into going into the water? I almost froze to death …"
Dongfang Wenming looked at him condescendingly. "You …" You want to kill the monarch? "
"Ai ai ai, you can't say that!" Zhong Fu hurriedly said, "If you want to kill the Emperor, it won't be as easy as a fist!" His gaze swept across the undetermined east and landed on the corner of Zhao Jing's lips. He thought to himself, 'This is a bit of a fierce beating!'
"I'll lie to you once." Zhao Jing said, "Now that you've punched me, does it count as a cut?"
Zhong Fu thought, "The grievances between us can be considered to have been resolved, but our relationship …"
"You don't have any feelings for each other!" Dongfang Wenming said with a cold face, "There will also be no friendship! "It's best if I can keep the words of the crown prince in my stomach."
Zhong Fu remained silent as he stared at Zhao Jing.
Dongfang Wenming's long legs stepped in between the two's line of sight. Did he really think he was dead?
Zhong Fu raised his head to look at him, "You are just a servant. As long as you are willing to protect your master, I will not care about that kick of yours. Hurry up and get out of here!"
Zhao Jing snorted with laughter when he heard this. "What did you say?" Is he a servant? "
Dongfang Wenming turned to look at her. "Your majesty thinks it's very funny?"
Zhao Jing immediately restrained his expression. "No, I just think that the Crown Prince is really blind!" For such a huge Buddha to not be able to see it, you truly do not understand the situation! "
There was a knock on the door. Zhou Zhiqian was standing at the door trying to sound out the sound, "Master?"
Coming back to his senses, Dongfang Wenming walked outside with a cold expression. He had scared Zhou Zhiqiang, who was standing outside the door, and didn't know what to do. It was obvious that this grandpa was moved!
Seeing that Dongfang Wenming had left, Zhao Jing forced himself out of his bed and walked over to Zhong Fu. "When did you start following me?"
"I've been waiting at the ferry, and now I've got you!" He gritted his teeth, "You let me lure Gongsun Zhen away and even forced me to jump into the water. You said that you would work together to achieve great things, yet you threw me aside in the end?! "
Zhao Jing pointed at his clothes and said, "I jumped off the Morning Dawn Peak. I didn't fall to my death. I broke my arm!" If I had known that you were so loyal, I would have pulled you along to dance with me! When the time comes, I'll lose an arm and you'll lose a leg, what do you say? "
She reached out and helped him slowly to his feet.
It was probably because Dongfang Wenming's kick was too heavy. When Zhong Fu got up, his body swayed, and he almost slipped back to the ground. Fortunately, Zhao Jing was able to quickly support him and push him against the wall. Only then was he able to stand firmly!
"What are you guys doing?" Dongfang Wenming stood at the door and shouted.
Zhao Jing was startled. He was stunned by his posture …
