Zhong Fu did not know what was going on, but he felt that something was off. But he couldn't pinpoint where was wrong, he could only faintly feel that something was wrong, as though something was about to happen.
"What happened to Noble Heir?" He carried a pot of dumplings and said, "Noble Heir, quickly try it. It's the dumpling we wrapped earlier in the morning."
Zhong Fu sat down, "This young master feels that something is amiss." Clenching his chopsticks, Zhong Fu frowned, "Along the way, there haven't been any movements from the higher ups recently, is there anything big that has happened?"
"No, no!" How could he dare to say half a sentence? The young master had already instructed him not to tell the Noble Heir anything, otherwise, according to the temper of the Noble Heir, if he knew that the Little Emperor had almost been poisoned, he would probably explode. "What's wrong? Noble Heir is too carefree, why are you looking for trouble?"
"Bah!" Zhong Fu spat, "You're the one who is looking for trouble! Am I such a person? "It's just that I've been too relaxed recently. I don't have any peace of mind at all!"
"Isn't your leisure good?" Do you want a strong wind and heavy rain? Aiyo, you better not think about it. If it really is a strong wind and heavy rain, I'm afraid that you will be blown away by the wind and rain. Noble Heir, you better not cause trouble for our young master! Just as the matter of the Ministry Of Rites had fallen, the ancestors started to find trouble with my young master, didn't you see that my young master is not at home all day? "
Zhong Fu took a bite of the dumpling, and looked at the way things were going, "Your Young Noble does not live at home, why are you hiding at home? As a slave, you can't be under close protection? "
The way Ye Zi laughed, "Isn't this the end of the year? There are a lot of things to do at home, and there's no one to manage it. I have to work at home!" I can't understand anything about Ministry of Justice at all, so the Young Noble sent me back! "If I hadn't come back, you might not have been able to eat these hot dumplings!"
"What you say makes sense?" Zhong Fu still felt flustered, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"It's fine, it's fine. What can it be? "With the Prime Minister overseeing the court and the Imperial Tutor taking care of the food, what else can happen?" The way was simple. After thinking about it, he decided to leave. Noble Heir was not a good person, he would rather not see through this.
As Zhong Fu crossed his legs and slipped away along the way, he vaguely felt that something was up. It was strange to say that ever since he had returned to the capital, he had become deaf and mute. Could it be … Behind him, someone had swept everything clean?
Thinking about this, Zhong Fu suddenly stood up, and the dumpling bowl on the table almost overturned. If so, does that mean he's always been under surveillance? If that was the case, then it was truly terrifying. However, he was completely oblivious within the cage.
"Damn it!" Zhong Fu clenched his teeth, "Road, get the hell back here!"
The path ahead was not too far away. Upon hearing this sound, a head popped out from behind a distant pillar. "What for?"
"Get the hell back here!" Zhong Fu carried a dumpling bowl and sat in the corridor, "Tell me honestly, why did your master keep you in the mansion and not make you follow him closely? You stayed behind to protect me, didn't you? "
"Yo yo, Noble Heir said these words. Do you think I'm such a bored person?" "The weather is so good. I have to go and get some blankets."
"Halt!" Zhong Fu finished the last dumpling, and casually smashed the chopsticks onto the ground.
With a bang, he was so shocked that he started stamping his feet on the ground. "Aiyo, my Noble Heir! These were all bought with silver, how can they …"
"Will you tell me?" Zhong Fu rolled his eyes, "My heart is in turmoil, there's definitely something wrong."
"It's really nothing!" "Then I can't possibly come up with something for you to do, can I?"
"The emperor's injuries have healed?" Zhong Fu asked.
"Didn't you see that no one on the street dares to mention it? Then I won't leave my home until I pass through the gates. Who knows if the emperor's injuries have healed? It's not like I'm a bug in the emperor's stomach. The imperial palace is heavily guarded, and our young master is not clear about this. As for my small fry, I am even less clear about it! " He sighed, "Noble Heir, you better not look for trouble. In the end, you won't be satisfied."
Zhong Fu snorted twice, "I've never seen you speak so much. You act sloppy the moment you talk about the emperor?" He really did not know about Zhao Jing being poisoned, otherwise he would have rushed out of the palace on his horses long ago.
With the experience from the previous time, this time, he didn't dare to say anything. After all, you can't knock Noble Heir unconscious again, right? Last time, he had scared the crap out of everyone. If he did it again, he would have to report to the hall of Yama Minamiya in advance!
"You won't tell me, right?" Zhong Fu pursed his lips, and started walking out with large strides.
"Noble Heir?" He was getting impatient.
He had managed to hide it from her with great difficulty, why was Noble Heir so abnormal today? Did he take the wrong medicine? If the Young Master knew what happened to the Noble Heir, wouldn't the Young Master eat him? Along the way, he hurriedly followed Zhong Fu outside, "Noble Heir, there's really nothing important, please don't …"
In the next moment, both of them froze on the spot.
Just as he was about to speak on the way, Zhong Fu, who was extremely arrogant a moment ago, suddenly pulled him in front of him. Zhong Fu's voice trembled as he said, "You block the way, I'll go first!"
Zhong Fu was about to rush inside when he suddenly heard the salutations of the passersby, "Your Highness!"
They were looking for the Noble Heir! Whether he was an enemy or a friend, it was still unclear! He immediately shouted, "Who are you people? If you know what's good for you, quickly scram. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "
"The Prince has an order, to ask Noble Heir to come with us! If Noble Heir doesn't agree, we'll have to tie him up and return him to the Phoenix City as well! " The one who came was Ao Guanglin, the most trusted subordinate of the City Lord of Phoenix City, Zhong Changtian. "Noble Heir, please don't make things difficult for this subordinate."
In fact, Zhong Fu also knew that since they had come, he would definitely not be able to escape. The duty of a soldier was to obey. No one could disobey the orders of their Phoenix City.
Zhong Fu stood at the same place, and laughed bitterly as he looked at the sky, the sky blue with Phoenix City, was not as beautiful as the sky outside. Where there was no freedom, even the air was repulsive.
"Noble Heir!" Ao Guanglin called out softly, "Please!" Not far away, a carriage was parked.
"I won't go back, if you force me to do so, then I will run a little further, and at that time, Royal Father will never see me again!" Zhong Fu clenched his teeth, "All of you get lost, get lost, don't let me see you again!"
"Noble Heir!" Ao Guanglin immediately stepped forward.
"Noble Heir isn't willing to go back, so please don't push us too far. Wait for our advice, Noble Heir will go back once he has thought it through!"
"Today, Noble Heir must leave!" Ao Guanglin waved his hand, and the soldiers dressed as pedestrians immediately came forward.
"You dare!" Zhong Fu said coldly, "Whoever dares to touch me will see if I don't kill them when we return to the Phoenix City!" However, if they did not complete their mission, they would not be able to return to the Phoenix City. Even if they returned to the Phoenix City, with orders like mountains, there was only death waiting for them.
Therefore, these soldiers would not listen to Zhong Fu's orders, they only listened to his commands.
Seeing that the crowd was rushing forward, his face darkened, "Noble Heir, go in first, I'll block them!"
"I'll leave it to you!" Zhong Fu ran.
"Capture the Noble Heir!" With Ao Guanglin's order, everyone rushed forward.
His hand and foot skills were not weak, but with two fists unable to contend with four hands, Ao Guanglin turned and headed towards the back door.
Separated by a wall, Zhou Zhiji bowed to Dongfang Weiming who had his hands behind his back, "Master, aren't you going to help?"
"It's already a help to stop them from getting discovered!" The people under his command were not people he could use easily even if he wanted to. Once he arrived in the capital, he had to understand the difficulty of moving around in the capital. If everything goes smoothly, Zhong Changtian would inevitably think that the capital is a good place, and that everything can be done as he pleases! " Dongfang Weiming said in an indifferent tone.
Zhou Zhiji nodded, "What this lord says is extremely correct! Just with the little servant by Wen Yuye's side, it will be impossible to stop Vice General Ao. "
"Do you really think that Wen Yuye dares to stop us? If Qi Yunshan or his men came, this little servant would be the one reporting the news. But now that someone from the Phoenix City has arrived, how could this little servant dare to stop them, I am just putting on an act! " Dongfang Weiming scoffed, "Wen Yuye is an intelligent person, he will not take any action if it's soft. He will only accept death.
Saying that, Dongfang Weiming sighed: "It's such a pity!"
The truth was as Dongfang Weiming had predicted, Wen Yuye had already instructed him that if the Phoenix City people were to come, he could only pretend to block them, but he definitely could not do anything to stop them. To Zhong Fu, returning to the Phoenix City was the safest choice. Wen Yuye also knew that Zhong Changtian would not do anything to him. After all, Zhong Changtian only had this one son.
He sighed and watched as everyone ran towards the back door. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Noble Heir, I have done my best to help you. I can only help you until here. Go back to the Phoenix City, or else my Young Master will be in constant fear. "
With that, he turned around and headed back to his residence.
But just then, Ao Guanglin's cold voice could be heard: "Noble Heir!" This voice was filled with anger and fear. It sounded especially strange.
He had to run home and run to the back door.
Dongfang Weiming and Zhou Zhiji naturally heard the voice too, and their expressions became cold, "Go take a look!"
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhiji leaped up and quickly jumped over the wall.
No one would have thought that a man in black would appear in the middle of the road! The people from the Regent's Mansion had obviously blocked everyone's path, so why would there still be black-clothed people appearing? Not only did he appear, he was also filled with killing intent.
Zhong Fu had never imagined that the sword that pierced his chest did not feel any pain, but only fear. That black-clothed masked man's eyes were filled with a murderous intent, with a ruthlessness that he had never seen before. It caused one's heart to tremble upon seeing it. When he pulled the sword out, blood splashed onto Zhong Fu's face. He never knew, that blood could boil to this extent. Just the burning sensation on his skin made him feel very uncomfortable.
In his line of sight, Ao Guanglin's scarlet eyes and the sounds of noise beside his ears rose and fell.
Zhong Fu laid down heavily in a pool of blood. His mind was blank, with only his heavy breathing remaining. The only thing worth celebrating was that he finally received the news, as if he was waiting for this strike today.
Little Mute, am I going to die here?
Little Emperor, did you hear that?
