Chapter 260: Conspiracy
The county lord of Jinzhi sneered, "I have my own marriage contract, why should I choose a concubine?"
"Huh?" This was too surprising, Feng Shanyue glanced at Butterfly Dance, "What about your fiancΓ©?"
"He ......," the Golden Branch County Lord sighed lonely, "he may be dead!"
"What do you mean?"
"In order to save me, he was arrested by the prince's men, and this time he was transferred from the Shilin Mountains, and he didn't come with him, so I guess he may have died. β
"He's a nobleman of the Zhai Kingdom?"
"No, just an ordinary person. He saved my life, and I am willing to make a promise with my body, and no one can stop me. β
Feng Shanyue looked at the hateful look in her eyes, and guessed that this marriage contract might have been made privately by the two of them, and it was not agreed by Su Junwang and his wife.
"County Lord, your fiancΓ© may not be dead, if you help me, I am willing to help you go to the Shilin Mountains to find him, as long as he still has a breath, I will definitely help you save him." β
"Is that true?"
Feng Shanyue looked into the eyes of the Golden Branch County Lord and nodded firmly, "I am Princess Yashi of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, and I am also the junior sister of Prince Zhao. I pledge as a personality that I will keep my promise. β
After listening to Feng Shanyue's words, the county lord of Jinzhi looked her up and down, and then nodded, "I believe in you, how do you want me to help you?"
Feng Shanyue whispered her plan in her ear, and the Golden Branch County Lord's eyes became deeper and deeper, and finally nodded, "I will help you, but you also have to help me save people." Besides, the contents of this cave must be burned, and they must not be given to the prince or to my father. Otherwise, his ambition to usurp the throne will never be extinguished. β
Feng Shanyue nodded, this was originally her plan.
The queen had not slept well for a few days because she was worried about the prince, and today she easily fell asleep for a while, and when she woke up, she felt a little groggy.
"Colorful clouds, water!"
Caiyun, who was dressed as a butterfly dancer, immediately sent the warm water that had been prepared a long time ago, and the queen took it and took a sip, "Well, this water is good today, and there is a hint of sweetness." β
"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to the nearby mountain spring to retrieve it, these days the wronged mother drank the water in this cave, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been unhappy!
Although there is water in this cave, because of the rocks, there is always a gray smell, and it is very uncomfortable to drink. The queen doesn't say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
The queen smiled, "What's the matter today?" Caixia, who is usually chattering, stopped talking, but Caiyun, who didn't like to speak, kept talking. β
Butterfly Dance was startled for a moment, and said with a smile: "Niangniang doesn't like to listen to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid don't say it." β
"Niangniang, your spirit is much better today!" The county lord of Jinzhi came in at the right time to interrupt the road, and Butterfly Dance and Feng Shanyue hurriedly stepped aside, bowing their heads, for fear that the queen would see the clue.
"You're here, where's the prince?"
"His Highness went out, it seems that there was some accident on Prince Min's side, and he brought someone from the Black Wolf Clan to help. Before leaving, he told me to stew a bowl of egg custard for Niangniang, who has been tired of running around recently and has a poor appetite, maybe this egg custard can be eaten!"
As soon as the queen heard that it was the prince's order, she took the bowl with a smile, "He is busy all day long, and he has to worry about these little things, I, the queen mother, are really dragging him back!"
"Don't say that, the prince is a filial son, and he is the most filial to his mother. He also said that after the thing is done, he will use the country to support his mother!"
"This kid!" the queen said with a smile, and then finished eating all the custard, "Thank you, Jin Zhi, I have wronged you during this time, and when I return to Yindu, I will let the prince make you the concubine." β
"Xie Niangniang!" said the county lord of Jinzhi with a lovely smile, "It's getting late, Niangniang, let's rest for a while, I'll take the people to prepare dinner first." β
"Good. Thank you for your hard work!"
The queen smiled and nodded, and waited for the county lord of Jinzhi to go out, then got up and said, "Help me go out for a walk, sleep all afternoon, and then sleep for fear that I will be sleepy, and I won't be able to sleep at night." β
Feng Shanyue and Diewu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and after taking a few steps, the queen suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and she fainted in Feng Shanyue's arms before she could make a sound.
"Quick, help her to the couch!"
Together, they helped the queen to lie down, covered her with a quilt, and pretended to be asleep.
The county lord of Jinzhi came in to check it and nodded, "It seems that your medicine is quite powerful, it is estimated that she will not wake up in two or three hours." β
Feng Shanyue nodded, this is the life-saving medicine given to her by the high priestess, and it is naturally extremely effective.
"County Lord, how many people are left here to guard?"
Lord Jinzhi shook his head, "I don't know, but I can go out and ask." β
At this time, the prince was not there, and it was very reasonable for the county lord of Jinzhi, as the prince's woman, to care about the distribution of the guard forces, so General Yue, who was in charge of leading the guard, honestly told her about the deployment of Kushan.
Because the location of Kushan is very secret, the prince did not leave too many people to guard it, and there were only twenty-eight people when he was full.
Night slowly fell, a woman's scream suddenly came from the cave, and General Yue, who was patrolling at the entrance of the cave, hurriedly entered the cave to check, only to see the county lord of Jinzhi running out of the cave in a panic, "Snakes, there are so many snakes!
When General Yue heard that the queen was in danger, he panicked, and only left two people at the entrance of the cave, and all the others went in with him to save people.
A group of people rushed into the passage in a panic, and found that there was Caixia, the maid of the palace Niangniang, standing in front of the passage, and General Yue hurriedly asked, "Where is the snake?"
"Over here! There are so many snakes that suddenly come out, and the mother is already scared!"
"Hurry, everyone!"
General Yue rushed forward with people, and when he arrived in front of Caixia, suddenly a golden light flashed in front of him, and Caixia had two more axes in his hand.
"Caixia, what are you doing?"
As soon as General Yue's words came out, half of his shoulder had been cut off by an axe, and he died on the spot. The people behind were shocked and hurriedly turned back, preparing to escape from the cave.
At this time, a woman suddenly came out of a stone room near the entrance of the cave, which turned out to be Caiyun, another maid of the queen's mother. She had a whip in her hand and was mercilessly striking the guards.
Some of them tried to resist, but they had never seen such a swift whip, and they only saw the shadow of the whip in front of them, and heard only the wails of their companions in their ears. Everyone had to turn around again and run to the other end of the passage.
In this way, under the front and back attacks of Feng Shanyue and Butterfly Dance, more than 20 guards were all killed in the passage. The remaining two heard the screams inside, thinking that they had been bitten by a snake, and hurriedly came in with torches to help, but they died under Feng Shanyue's open axe.
Feng Shanyue and Butterfly Dance, plus the county lord of the Golden Branch, the three of them worked together to move the fainted queen out of the cave, just in time for the fierce wolf to return.
"Why is it so fast?" Feng Shanyue thought they wouldn't be able to rush back until at least tomorrow!
"There is a city eighty miles from here, and we bought a lot of grease there, and we rushed back!"
"So, you go in and bring something out so that you can bring it back to your people. The rest was poured with grease and burned, and nothing was left. β
