Chapter 42: The Peak and the Loop (2)
I carefully searched around the dungeon, but I didn't see the prince and his party, let alone the Yao girl, so I had no choice but to return the same way.
Zhang Mengtan was waiting at the door of the dungeon, and as soon as he saw me, he greeted me and asked, "You can see it, why is your face so ugly?" ”
"I didn't see anyone, nor did I see the prince and the head of your family." Feeling lost, I walked back with my head down, and within a few steps I was stumbled by a stone on the road.
"Be careful!" Zhang Mengtan flew forward to support me, but I had already slammed headlong into a hard chest.
"How can you always be so careless when you walk?" Someone asked softly.
Hearing this familiar voice, my mind went blank for an instant. I looked up at Wu Feng stupidly, and I didn't dare to blink my eyes, for fear that he in front of me was just a phantom in my heart.
"I'm sorry I'm late." He gently took me into his arms. I didn't care about the stupid Zhang Mengtan next to me, I hugged him with open arms, and cried loudly: "Why did you come, how can you leave me alone!" ”
Wu Feng pressed his hand on my head and said softly: "It's all over, don't be afraid, I'll take you home." I've been in a hurry for the past few days, and my robe is torn, so you'll have to sew it for me when I get back. ”
"How did it break like this?" I looked down and saw that his clothes were literally torn everywhere.
"Worried about clothes? When I came back, I took a shortcut, and I rode too fast and got hooked by a branch. ”
His words fell on the softest place in my heart, and the emotion swept over me like a tidal wave, easily drowning me. The person in front of him had deep eye sockets, and his eyes were also blue and black, and the whole person looked haggard and dull, without the demeanor of the past. But he is like this, but it makes my heart feel like a spring sun, and even the tears that flow into the corners of my mouth at this moment have a sweet taste.
"I immediately set off and came back after receiving the letter you sent before, and after entering the Qin realm, I received a message from the prince sent by the prince, and now I can rest assured that you are fine." Wu Feng said as he took off his robe and wrapped me tightly.
"The prince forced me to wear this dress, but he didn't ......" I was in a hurry to explain, and he chuckled: "It's okay if you're fine, it's cold, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Wu Fengzheng and I were talking, and someone next to me suddenly coughed. Only then did I remember that Zhang Mengtan was standing behind me, so I blushed and threw my head into Wu Feng's arms.
"This gentleman is not strange, my child has always been so willful and rude, I laughed."
"It's okay, right?" Zhang Mengtan asked.
"In the lower Wu Feng! Dare to ask what the gentleman is? ”
"Oh, it turned out to be General Wu, who drove Xirong and won seven battles and seven victories. Zhang Mengtan, a retainer of the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom, had always wanted to see General Wu with the head of the family this time, but he didn't expect to meet him here. ”
"Mr. has an overreputation, but unfortunately there are many inconveniences today, if Mr. can afford to see Wu, he will prepare a banquet and drink with Mr. on another day."
"General Wu is gracious, Meng Tan thanked me first!"
The two of them were greeting each other, and the prince walked out of the dungeon with Zhao Wuxian and his party.
"Yao Nu is locked up in the dungeon, and they have found the things." I got out of Wu Feng's arms and explained the situation in a whisper.
"Don't bother, I've got you covered!" Wu Feng turned around and greeted the crown prince.
"Hey, I thought that Gongzi Li was the girl's lover, but I didn't expect that it was General Qin Wu Feng who really won the hearts of beauties. It's no wonder you don't look down on me as a little strategist. Zhang Mengtan walked behind me at some point and said with a sour smile.
"When you are a friend, I will remind you, if the affairs of your family master in the Qin State have been completed, go back quickly!" I glanced at Zhao Wuxian, who was standing beside the prince at this time, he was thin and seemed to be much shorter than the beast-faced man that day, he should not be the person I was looking for.
When I saw General Wu, I looked like a shy and lovely little daughter. In a blink of an eye, it became so cold and sophisticated. Okay, thanks for the reminder, I got it! After saying that, he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at me, and turned back to Zhao Wuxian.
"General Wu came back in time, didn't he already know that someone in the mansion was going to come to me as a guest these days?" The prince stared at Wu Feng's face, as if he wanted to find evidence from his expression that he had plotted to assassinate him.
Wu Feng said with a smile when he heard this: "The children in the house have been tired of the prince to take care of them these days, and the ministers have thanked them here." However, the minister came this time because he occasionally got a big gift outside, and he just wanted to hurry back and present it to the prince. ”
"A big gift? What a gift? The crown prince was puzzled by Wu Feng's words.
Wu Feng was not in a hurry to answer, but raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wuxian.
This Zhao Wuxian is an understanding person, he immediately took a step forward, and said: "The prince and General Wu have not seen each other for many days, there must be something to say, and the foreign minister will leave first!" ”
"Zhao Zi doesn't know when he will return to Jin? I'm here to send you off! The prince replied.
"In three days, the foreign minister will return to Jin, and he will wait for the prince at the pavilion at that time!" After Zhao Wuxian finished speaking, he left with a group of retainers.
After the Zhao family's people left, the prince's face instantly sank, and he scolded Wu Feng sharply: "Wu Feng! You instigated the lowly maids of the palace to attempt to assassinate the prince at the banquet. Now, what else do you have to say? ”
Faced with the rebuke of the crown prince, Wu Feng replied: "Why did the prince say this? It had been several months since the minister left the palace, and he was shocked to hear about it only after receiving a message from the prince. The cheap maids in the house colluded with foreign enemies and were negligent ministers. But now there is a 'book tablet' as evidence, and the assassination was secretly instigated by the Jin people, and it has nothing to do with the ministers. ”
"Hmph, the secret letter secretly passed on by the has indeed been found. But how do you prove that you didn't put the slate in advance? ”
"Ministers have always been respectful in serving the prince, but why should the prince be aggressive, he must put his ministers to death?" As soon as Wu Feng raised his left hand as he spoke, a soldier came over with a bunch of long swords, "The words engraved on this sword must be very familiar to the prince." Wu Feng drew a sword and handed it to the crown prince.
"This is the weapon in my house, how did it get to you?" The prince looked at the words engraved on the sword and said in astonishment.
"This is to consult the prince, the minister was assassinated in Jingyang more than ten days ago, and the assassins were all vicious, if it weren't for the accompanying General Qi to help, I'm afraid that the minister's life would have been lost."
After Wu Feng finished speaking, he tore open his shirt with one hand, revealing his injured shoulder: "General Qi can testify about the assassination of the minister." It's just that I don't know what the prince will say to these assassins after meeting the king? ”
General Qi is the maternal uncle of the crown prince, he is upright and upright, and he is highly relied on by the monarch. Back then, if he hadn't strongly advocated the establishment of the elder rather than the young, the crown prince might not have been able to sit on the position of the prince. Therefore, he testified that if the matter was reported to the king, the crown prince would not be able to get half of the benefit.
"General Wu, why did I send someone to assassinate you? Besides, even if I really want to send someone to kill you, I won't be stupid enough to take the sword in my own house! ”
"The prince's mind is elusive. Since the crown prince has doubts about this matter, why don't we go to the king together and ask him to make a decision? ”
Prince Yan is insidious but not stupid, several things are put together, he can deduce the "truth" behind the scenes. However, although he suspected that everything was done by the Jin people, he still hoped to bring down Wu Feng by plotting the assassination, but he didn't expect that now he was actually calculated by the Jin people.
"There is no need to bother the monarch about this, and I will definitely give the general an explanation within ten days. Today, General Wu's carriage and horses have worked hard, why don't you take Miss Ah Shi back to the house to rest first, and then we will investigate this matter in detail tomorrow, okay? ”
"The minister rushed back day and night, because he believed that the prince would never do anything to assassinate his minister. Later, I was shocked to hear that the prince was also assassinated during the banquet, and I felt that the Jin people were using tricks to be vicious! ”
Seeing that Wu Feng was relieved, the prince immediately nodded yes. In the end, he personally put us in the carriage back home.
As soon as I got into the carriage, I didn't say a word, and fell asleep directly in Wu Feng's arms.
