Chapter 300: The Man in Black
What benevolence and morality? It's just the kindness of a woman, now that the jade seal of the country is in my hands, I don't think you need to go back to the king of Chu, it's better to bow down to me now, and I can also reward you with a big official to do. "The prince is now full of spring breeze.
"Thank you for the prince's kindness, but since I have followed the king of Chu, I will no longer serve the second master." Xie Yutang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Shame on the face." The prince's face was gloomy, "I want to see how long you can carry it?" β
"Let's not talk nonsense with them, let's get our things and leave." The guards beside the prince reminded in a whisper.
"Let's go." The prince left with their men in a mighty way.
Xie Yutang walked up to Mu Zhufeng and threw him a sword and some gold sore medicine, "You saved Chi Wan before, and now that I have saved you from under the prince, you and her will not owe each other." β
Mu Zhufeng sneered, "I have helped her more than once, besides, this is a matter between me and her, why should you repay it, I will naturally pay it back to you if you save me once." β
"She is my woman, and the favor she owes you will naturally be repaid by me." Xie Yutang's words were full of possessiveness.
Mu Zhufeng felt that the wound on his body was even more painful when he heard this, but it was irrefutable, just now they were all in his eyes, he was just an outsider, and if he continued to talk about it, he would only embarrass himself.
"Chi Wan, do you agree with what he said?" Mu Zhufeng didn't know why he still had to ask.
Chi Wan looked at Mu Zhufeng on the ground, and then at Xie Yutang, feeling very helpless, whether it is modern or ancient men, are they so naΓ―ve?
Although she had long known that Mu Zhufeng had a good impression of her, she never thought that he could do such a thing for herself, and she was still very moved in her heart.
Both men became nervous because he had not replied for a long time.
"You ......," Xie Yutang went over and grabbed her hand tightly.
"I naturally agree with what he says." Chi Wan replied with a faint expression, and sighed silently in her heart.
Xie Yutang's heart finally relaxed, and he looked at Mu Zhufeng with a proud face.
Chi Wan didn't want to continue to stimulate Mu Zhufeng, so she pulled Xie Yutang's sleeve and said, "Let's go, the King of Chu is still waiting for us." β
"Okay." Xie Yutang's tone was extraordinarily doting, and his eyes were so gentle that they could drip water.
On the way back, Chi Wan was still very worried, "Later, if the King of Chu asks about the jade seal, you will put the responsibility on my head, and say that I handed over the jade seal." β
Although Xie Yutang said that the King of Chu was benevolent and not careful, she was still not at ease. How many people fight for the throne, and now that the jade seal is in hand, the king of Chu must not be happy in his heart, even if he doesn't say anything at the time, there must be a gap in his heart, maybe he will take the opportunity to attack when he thinks of it in the future?
Xie Yutang saw that she was worried about herself, and his heart was extremely useful, and he followed her words.
Sure enough, as soon as they came back, the King of Chu summoned them, and Xie Yutang just walked into the room, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty.
"Lord Wang, we are not doing our job well and have not been able to bring the jade seal back, please punish you."
The king of Chu sat on the throne and was silent, Chi Wan secretly screamed in her heart, and quickly knelt down, "Lord Wang, this matter is none of his business, it's all my fault, the prince threatened me with Mu Zhufeng, so I handed over the jade seal to the prince." β
"Oh? The crown prince threatened you with Mu Zhufeng, you even handed over the jade seal, don't you like him? King Chu's voice was cold, making it impossible to hear his mood.
Chi Wan lowered her head and replied, "I don't like Mu Zhufeng, it's just that he saved my life before, I can't just watch him die in front of me, anyway, all the mistakes are my fault, you don't want to punish Yutang, if you want to punish me, punish me." β
"I asked him to bring the jade seal back, but he let the prince take it, how can it be said that it is not his fault?" King Chu seemed to be very angry, "Then it's better to drag him down and hit the three hundred boards." β
Three hundred boards? If this fight continues, people will definitely not survive, Chi Wan's face changed suddenly, "Lord Wang! I insisted on exchanging the jade seal for Mu Zhufeng, if you want to fight, hit me. β
Xie Yutang knew that the King of Chu would definitely not beat himself with three hundred boards, and Shicai's words were just a joke, but seeing Chi Wan defending himself like this, he was extremely moved.
The corners of King Chu's mouth were slightly hooked, but Chi Wan knelt below, and she was very scared, so she didn't notice this.
"How can you bear it, a delicate and weak woman? And you defend him so much, do you like Xie Yutang? β
Chi Wan was about to answer, but she noticed that something was wrong, why did King Chu sound so gossipy? Just shut up.
Although he didn't hear the answer he wanted, he felt a little disappointed, but Xie Yutang couldn't bear to let her continue to worry, "The prince is joking with you, hurry up." As he spoke, he pulled Chi Wan up.
Chi Wan was still a little hesitant, and the King of Chu above also spoke, "Miss Chi, get up." β
Seeing that King Chu was not as angry as he imagined, Chi Wan stood up hesitantly.
"Yutang," King Chu said earnestly, "I have heard reports from others from the beginning and end of the matter, I can understand your feelings, and even support your approach, but I am not only your friend, but also the leader of one party, how important the jade seal is, I don't think I need to tell you more, you do this, it really makes me very embarrassed." β
Xie Yutang pounced and knelt down again, clasping his hands into fists, "Your Highness, please punish you, I have no complaints." β
Chi Wan glared at him hatefully, what happened to this person, the King of Chu said that he would not punish him, but he still rushed to receive the punishment with a blank eye, could it be that he was too long?
"You have also made a lot of merits before, and the merits and demerits are worth it, so go outside and get a hundred military sticks." King Chu sighed very helplessly.
Chi Wan knew that this hundred military sticks were more like being played for others to see, but she was still very distressed.
"Lord Wang, if this military stick is beaten, Yutang will definitely have to recuperate in bed for several months, how can he be allowed to lie down and rest at such a critical juncture? I look at these 100 military sticks, so let's wait until the overall situation stabilizes before fighting. β
Chi Wan said righteously with a small face, but in her heart, she was thinking that she would let Xie Yutang make more meritorious contributions during this time, and when the time came, she would be exempted from the punishment of the military stick.
The King of Chu obviously understood what Chi Wan was thinking, but Xie Yutang was indeed his right-hand man, and there was really no room for error at this time.
"Miss Chi's words also have some truth, then do what you say, and write down the hundred military sticks first."
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Chi Wan looked happy and pulled Xie Yutang to thank him, and Xie Yutang shook his head helplessly.
"I think Miss Chi seems to care about Yutang?" The King of Chu narrowly hooked the corners of his mouth.
"I ......" Chi Wan looked at Xie Yutang with a slightly red face, hoping that he could stand up and help him out of the siege, but the other party didn't seem to see her eyes asking for help.
"Lord Wang, I still have something to deal with, so I'll leave first." Chi Wan ran out shyly, and after leaving the room, she heard the hearty laughter of the King of Chu coming from inside.
On the other hand, after the prince got the jade seal, he was full of ambition and ready to go back to his mansion to discuss the next plan with his staff.
But when they passed through an alley, they were besieged.
The man in black came too suddenly, and there were many people, all of them were strong in martial arts, and the alley was too narrow, so the guards brought by the prince could not all come in, and after a while, they gradually fell into disadvantage.
"You bunch of shit!" The prince scolded loudly, his heart was full of fear, who sent the person this time, King Chu? How could he move so fast?
Before the prince could think about it, the man in black had already killed him in his carriage.
"Hurry up and hand over the jade seal!" The purpose of the man in black was obviously only the jade seal, and he did not want to hurt the prince's life.
The prince held the jade seal and kept moving back, but behind him was the carriage, and there was no way back. He looked out through the curtain and saw that the guards were already surrounded by a crowd and there was no way to save him.
"Who sent it? As long as you leave here, I can not blame the past and give you high officials. The prince was extremely frightened and threw out his conditions. But the man in black was unmoved, and even a little impatient, and stabbed the prince with his knife.
"Ahh The prince closed his eyes in fear, and his whole body softened, "Don't kill me, I'll give you the jade seal." β
The man in black took the jade seal from the prince's hand, his eyes were disdainful, as if he had expected all this a long time ago. The prince noticed the disdain in his eyes, and his heart was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The man in black took the jade seal and turned it around, but he didn't leave immediately, but leaned towards the prince.
"You...... What are you doing! The jade seal is all for you, don't kill me! The prince's voice was full of tears, and his eyes were closed and trembling.
After a long time, the expected pain did not come, the prince opened his eyes slightly, and found that the man in black was staring at him with a smile, "Tsk, such a small daring person dares to compete for the world?" β
The man in black snorted lightly and stepped forward to grope on the prince's body, but the prince was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, how could he care about the ridicule in the other party's words.
After touching the coolness of the metal, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the man in black. Sure enough, such an important thing as the tiger talisman, the prince will definitely carry it with him.
He couldn't help but take out the half of the tiger talisman that the prince had kept properly, and then turned around and gestured outside, and after the group of people got the signal, they no longer entangled, and soon retreated like a tide, as if they had never appeared.
The prince's guards didn't care about their injuries and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the prince's condition.
