Chapter 25: The Man Behind It
Mingzhou escorted Cheng Ta to King Qi, Cheng Ta looked unconvinced, and said to King Qi: "Hmph! I didn't expect King Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be this kind of villain who rebelled! ”
Yu Fei sneered, "If we don't arrest you, you will arrest us, right?" What's it to catch you? Believe it or not, I killed you?! ”
King Qi looked at Chengta, smiled faintly, and said, "Second prince, I'm bothering you to give us a ride." ”
After saying that, everyone began to march out of the city with a tower, and the attendants of Uzar followed closely. Mingzhou held Cheng Tower and said: "Second Prince, let your people retreat, we will let you return when we reach the junction of the two countries." Otherwise, don't blame us for being immoral! ”
As he spoke, the sword on Chengta's neck stabbed it again. The part of Chengta that was originally stabbed by Yu Fei finally stopped the bleeding, but now it cracked again, making him miserable.
"All backwards! Go back! Don't follow us! Cheng Ta shouted at his attendants.
A group of attendants looked at each other and slowly stepped back. But I heard a roar, "Who dares to retreat?" I'll kill him right away! ”
Chengta saw the person coming, and his eyes shrank. He was not really dangerous until now.
King Qi rushed to the person and asked, "Eldest Prince, you want to give up the name of the second prince, I don't know if your king knows?" ”
Monzo, the Grand Prince of Uzar, rode on his horse, watched everyone, and finally set his eyes on King Qi. "His Royal Highness King Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's rare that you can come back to my Uzar, and it would be too inconsiderate for us to go back like this. Why don't you go back with me to meet my king, and let's have a good chat!" ”
"Thanks to the hospitality of the second prince, this king is really gracious. Now that you're full, it's time to go back. The eldest prince is gracious, let's see you next time. King Qi said.
Taking advantage of this gap, Mingzhou whispered in Chengta's ear: "I believe that the second prince should know that even if we are willing to let you go now, your brother Mengzo is probably not willing to let you go." ”
Cheng Ta carefully avoided the blade and said to Mingzhou: "If you let me go, I will stop Monzo and let you go." ”
Mingzhou smiled, "The second prince's calculation is really good, I will let you go, and when you two brothers turn to deal with us together, won't we lose more than we gain?" ”
"Believe me, your Highness knows, that I am not at odds with Monzo. He wants to take this opportunity to get rid of me, so how can I join him in harming you? "Chengta Road.
"Yes!" Yu Fei responded to him.
Mingzhou frowned, "Miss Yu, you should ask the prince for this matter." ”
Yu Fei ignored Mingzhou, took out a white jade-colored porcelain bottle from his purse, and said to Cheng Ta: "This is the unique poison that my master configured, if you eat it, we will let you go." When you go to Bao Neipo in a month, I will give you the antidote. ”
"Then what if you don't give me the antidote?" Cheng Ta could see Yu Fei's hatred for him, and he really didn't dare to believe her.
"Do you still have a choice? Either die now, or gamble, and it is possible to live. Yu Fei looked at him and said.
Chengta's face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and finally took the porcelain bottle, poured out a brown pill and put it in his mouth. The pill is spicy and bitter in the mouth, and the sensation spreads all over the throat and tongue. Cheng Ta only confirmed at this time that this pill that Yu Fei casually came from out of nowhere was a poison.
"You can let me go now, right?" Cheng Ta said in a muffled voice.
Mingzhou looked at King Qi and saw him nodding. Finally pushed Chengta out.
As soon as he let go, Yu Fei and the others hurriedly hurried to the northern frontier. Yu Fei rode on the horse and glanced back. I saw that Chengta and Monzo had already fought together, and Fang didn't look back and rode forward directly.
The fast horse ran for two hours, and when they saw the border in front of them, and there were no pursuers coming behind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mingzhou took a breath, remembered what happened just now, looked at Yu Fei and asked, "Miss Yu, where did the poison that was given to Chengta come from just now?" From Bao Neipo to Uzar, Ming has never seen the girl carrying things? ”
Yu Fei looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "It's true that I didn't have time to bring anything, the so-called pill was just made out of the restaurant with pepper dipped in water and oil." ”
Mingzhou suddenly realized and said with a smile: "The girl is not only superb in force, but also intelligent, Ming admires it." ”
Yu Fei smiled, said no more, and turned to look at King Qi, who was riding a horse and walking in front. Although this trip to Uzar was only for one day, she learned that her father's murderer and the prime minister were also involved, and she also had a different view of King Qi.
Riding a horse to catch up with King Qi, he looked at him and asked, "Lord Wang, how did you meet Chengta?" And there is a deal with it? What she hasn't asked is whether it has anything to do with her father's death.
King Qi glanced at her lightly and said, "You shouldn't know, don't ask." ”
Yu Fei: "......"
When everyone returned to the barracks, it was already dark, and when Wang Yao saw Yu Fei coming back, she hurriedly asked her why she had been gone for so long?
Yu Fei was afraid that she would be worried, so she only said that she had been playing there for a long time, so she delayed the time to come back.
At night, when Wang Yao fell asleep, Yu Fei secretly got up and dressed again, and came to Yu Xuan's camp.
"So you said that the person behind Yuan Shao is the prime minister?" Yu Xuan listened to Yu Fei talk about this trip to Uzar, first pinched a sweat for them, and then had the same question as Yu Fei: The prime minister and Yu Cheng are not dirty, why did they harm him?
"Has the eldest brother ever seen his father meet the prime minister?" Yu Fei asked. She wondered if her father and Cheng were entangled with each other, but her brother and sister didn't know.
"No, for as long as I can remember, we've been in northern Xinjiang. In the 12 years that you have been away, our family has never returned to Beijing. Even during the New Year's Festival, my father never entered Beijing. Yu Xuan denied that his father had something dirty with the prime minister in private.
Not to mention that his father and the prime minister have basically never met in the past ten years, and with their brother and sister understanding their father's personality, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to have any entanglement with the prime minister of the current dynasty.
"Are you sure Chengta is telling the truth?" Yu Xuan asked. Perhaps Chengta is sowing discord is unknown.
"Sure." Yu Fei replied without thinking too much, in that case, and the attitude that King Qi had not denied, what Cheng Ta said should be true.
"Or maybe my father met the prime minister before he arrived in Northern Xinjiang, or some other reason we don't know?" Yu Xuan asked.
"I'll go back and ask A-Niang about this matter, and it's convenient to check the person in the middle after I get to the capital. If you can catch him, then a lot of things will be solved. Yu Fei said.
"I will continue to investigate in Northern Xinjiang, and you must also be careful and ensure your safety after you return to the capital." Yu Xuan said to Yu Fei.
"Don't worry, big brother, I will." Yu Fei returned. After the brother and sister got to know each other, Yu Fei quit and returned to his camp.
In the dark, she lay in bed, her mind full of everything that had happened during the day. Prime Minister, what kind of role is Prime Minister Xie Qian in the middle?
