Chapter 96: The Truth (6)

Chu Xiaofeng followed Lu Feng into his door, and suddenly a fishy smell came to his face, the yard was full of all kinds of dried fish, and the corner of the wall was full of baskets of garbage. Not far away, in a small grass hut, a scrawny horse was tethered, and under the horse's belly, a sleeping man was lying.

The man's clothes were tattered, barely concealable, unkempt, and covered in mud. Chu Xiaofeng slowly approached the person, a vague smell of wine hit, he frowned, now this person's face was covered with mud and dirt, his hair was unkempt, and he couldn't identify this person's identity.

"Coming so soon?" Chu Xiaofeng was about to lean over to take a closer look, but saw that the man turned over, turned his back to him, and said lightly. That voice made Chu Xiaofeng immediately judge that this person was Xiao Xiao who had been lost from the poison doctor.

"Huh? Guard Xiao knows I'm coming? Chu Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard this, did Xiao Xiao know that he would definitely come back to find him? He took a step back and asked suspiciously.

"Since you're here, let's hurry up, I won't resist." Xiao Xiao's voice sounded again, but Chu Xiaofeng was even more puzzled when he heard it, but he immediately understood that Xiao Xiao must have recognized the wrong person.

"Xiao Guard, I'm Chu Xiaofeng." Chu Xiaofeng leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and said in a low voice.

"What!" When Xiao Xiao suddenly heard this, he immediately turned over and sat up. Frightened Lu Feng not far away, he thought that this bandit leader, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and wanted to kill.

"This is not the place to talk, you come with me." After Chu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Xiao up and said coldly to Lu Feng: "This person is a prisoner of the imperial court, you can be regarded as a great meritorious, this ingot of gold should be used as a reward." But you have to remember not to tell anyone about it, you know? After Chu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he glanced at the fat woman who was still sitting in front of the door, intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and take care of my family." Lu Feng hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking at the ingot of gold in front of him, his heart was a little settled, no matter what, this life was finally saved.

Seeing the carriage gradually moving away, Lu Feng pulled his daughter-in-law closer to the door, hurriedly closed the door, and said tremblingly: "Hurry up and pack up your things, we will move immediately, with this money, we can live anywhere." ”

"I said what the fuck are you fucking nervous! What kind of house to move? The fat woman grabbed Lu Feng's ear and cursed in a low voice.

"Fuck, you stinky bitch let go, it hurts me to death." Lu Feng opened the fat woman's hand, lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who I saved?" That's a prisoner of the imperial court, and the one who came with me just now is an official. Although they let us go on the surface, within a day, we will be on the ground. I haven't seen anything in Yanjing City, so let's run for our lives. Lu Feng glared at his wife viciously, turned around and walked towards the house.

The fat woman smacked her lips, and suddenly ran into the house with Lu Feng on her face full of horror. There are also storytellers among the people, but she has heard storytelling a few times and understands what it means to destroy corpses.

After a while, puffs of smoke came out of Lu Feng's home, and gradually the fire became more and more vigorous, illuminating the entire sky. After a while, a noisy voice sounded, and his neighbors carried water to extinguish the fire one by one.

Chu Xiaofeng drove the carriage and pulled Xiao Xiao to run aimlessly. He suddenly smiled, thinking that at the beginning, it was Xiao Guard who pulled him away from Yanjing City, and now he pulled him back to Yanjing City.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, I don't know if Xiao Xiao was asleep or thinking about things, the carriage was very quiet, as if there was no one at all.

Chu Xiaofeng didn't know how long he had been running in the carriage, but he saw that the east had already revealed light, and dawn was about to fall. He parked the carriage deep in a wooded field, tied it up, and got into it. saw Xiao Xiao staring out of the car window in a daze. He chuckled softly, "Why did Guard Xiao end up in such a field again? ”

"Third Highness, you" Xiao Xiao did not answer Chu Xiaofeng's words, but asked with a frown. Only then did he realize that Chu Xiaofeng's body was pitch black, and he had already changed beyond recognition, if it weren't for his keen perception of things, he really suspected that the person in front of him was pretending.

"Hey! Don't mention it. Chu Xiaofeng sighed, and then told a series of encounters between himself and him being rescued by the poison doctor. Then he said unhappily: "You didn't say goodbye that day, but it really scared me." Without you, who would prove my identity? "Although Mu Changlan, Guo Qingzheng and others believe that they are the three princes, do they believe in their father? Is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military faithful?

"That day, I suddenly woke up and found myself lying in a strange thatched hut. My mind was in a mess, and I staggered out, and when I was completely conscious, I forgot where I had come from. Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly and sighed, and he continued: "I stayed nearby for a while, just to inquire about His Highness's news, but in the end I found nothing. In the end, I decided to go back to Yanjing City first and tell the emperor everything that happened. Who knows, when I came to Yanjing City, I found that the pattern of the entire Yanjing City had changed greatly. ”

"What! Is something big wrong? No wonder I was on the streets of Yanjing City last night, and I saw the soldiers and the head of the household and the head of the Imperial Forest Army becoming prisoners. How about Father? He didn't hurt, did he? Chu Xiaofeng frowned, could it be that who instigated the coup? It's impossible, although he is in Qinghe Town, if he changes the dynasty, it is impossible not to notice it at all.

"Hehe, rest assured, Your Highness, the emperor is very good, and he must be better than ever at this moment!" Xiao Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly and said in a sad tone.

Doubts flashed in Chu Xiaofeng's eyes, his brows tightened, and he asked in a low voice, "What did Guardian Xiao say?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, remember, it was me and my brothers who escorted you to the frontier to fill the army, but later, we were intercepted and killed by the old thief Pang Wen, and we were in a foreign land." Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, he looked at Chu Xiaofeng carefully, and said word by word, presumably he thought of his brothers who died in vain.

"I was framed by my eldest brother and raped the eldest lady of the Guan family, and my father was furious and demoted me to a commoner and a soldier, which gave Pang Wen an opportunity to take advantage of it." Chu Xiaofeng clenched his fists and said hatefully. He swore that in his lifetime, he would definitely let the old thief Pang Wen pay for his blood debts!

"Haha" Xiao Xiao listened to Chu Xiaofeng's words and looked up to the sky and laughed. His voice was miserable, and after a long time, he shouted with tears on his face: "Your Highness, haven't you ever doubted it at all!" ”

"I" Chu Xiaofeng was suddenly questioned loudly by Xiao Xiao, and he was speechless when he asked. Yes, he also once doubted, questioned his father, but he didn't believe it, and he didn't dare to think about it. With a "boom", a muffled thunder exploded, and the sky that had just turned white was extremely dark in an instant, and then it began to rain heavily in the sky.

In the "whooshing" rain, the two looked at each other and forgot to speak for a while. Chu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and tried to restrain his tears and not let them flow. In fact, he had many ways to return to Yanjing City and get close to his father, but he was afraid in his heart, afraid that the slightest doubt in his heart would become a reality. That's why he eagerly wanted to discuss with Xiao Xiao first to be foolproof.

Since the death of his mother, he has long stopped believing in anyone, and he promised his mother that he will live well. He feared that the only gratitude he had for the world would disappear.

"Actually, I've been suspicious of my father for a long time." Chu Xiaofeng didn't hold back in the end, tears blurred his eyes instantly, he slammed his fist on the wooden board of the carriage, and sobbed in a low voice: "On my father's birthday, I suddenly wanted to make me the prince, I didn't know beforehand, but the eldest brother had already gotten the news." If it weren't for the whispers of the two little eunuchs who carried me back in the blur, I might not have known why I had suddenly become the target of public criticism. ”
