Chapter 284: You Can't Go Back on Your Word

The guard was also stunned by the man's operation.

When he came back to his senses, he withdrew his long knife and wiped it carefully.

Behind him, at this time, Zhu Gaoxuan's voice came.

"Can you hear what he just said?"

The guard shook his head.

The voice was too muffled to hear it clearly, but he seemed to mention Mingzhu's name.

Zhu Gaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

"Before he died, he brought up Mingzhu's name. It can be seen that his relationship with Mingzhu is unusual. ”

He paused, then pointed the sword in his hand at another man in black.

"What is the relationship between this man and Princess Pearl?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then shook his head......

The long sword in Zhu Gaoxuan's hand did not move forward, but there was a little more coldness on his face.

"I advise you to have one thing to say, otherwise this king has a way, and you are better off than dead if you are tortured......"

The man's heart sank, and he was finally afraid.

"My eldest brother and the princess are childhood sweethearts, and they are also married......"

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded, and then looked at the corpse again, as if talking to himself.

"Let Miss Song pretend to be Princess Mingzhu, it is easy to expose the stuffing, and we have to set fire to the mountain, which is a lot of trouble."

"That's because the appearance of Miss Song and Princess Mingzhu is very different. But if we use this man's corpse to pretend to be a living person, I guess it won't be a lot of effort. ”

"This matter should be handed over to Miss Yinchai and Miss Song, you must get his face done in the shortest possible time."

Behind him, Song Sisi and Yinchai had ugly faces.

"Lord Wang, but this person is already dead......"

"I'm a very timid person, I'm afraid of the ...... of the dead"

Such a difficult task is really difficult for two weak women to complete.

However, those soldiers in the army, all of them are rough and leafy, and they naturally can't handle the technical work of makeup.

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled and spoke.

"You must know that if this matter is messed up, many people will die innocently because of it, and even the concubine is estimated to be difficult to survive. So you can only succeed, not fail. If you fail, the king will not spare you. ”

The two women looked at each other, both embarrassed, but they had to nod their heads in agreement.

So the two of them went to work.

At this time, the Seventh Prince was already exhausted, and he yawned.

"Shall we go back to the inn and rest now? This old bone of this king really can't stand the toss......"

It's no wonder that the Seventh Prince complained.

Because before that, Zhu Gaoxuan sent most of the people out.

It's very difficult to transfer people back here temporarily.

So only five or six hundred people were recovered.

There were not enough people, so Zhu Gaoxuan and the Seventh Prince had to go up.

The Seventh Prince, who is a lot older, is a strange thing if he can eat.

But Zhu Gaoxuan had no intention of letting him go back until this time.

"Lord Wang, you took the initiative to help me. You can't go back on your word. After all, my father made an order......"

The Seventh Prince was speechless.

Is this what it means to deceive yourself?

Time was pressing, and everyone turned back to the side of the road.

There are also people stationed here.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxuan and the others coming back, the guard hurriedly replied.

"Lord, we've been staring at it here, don't say it's a human being, we haven't even seen a ghost."

The Seventh Lord yawned, and then leaned directly against the trunk of the tree.

"That proves that the pearl hasn't come over yet, and we can just take a break."

He closed his eyes here, but Zhu Gaoxuan frowned for some reason.

He asked the guard.

"Didn't a single person pass through here?"

The guard nodded.

"It's strange to say, it's already dawn this day, why haven't you seen anyone on this road? Probably because everyone had heard about Fengyuean, so they all chose to take a detour. ”

It was an unintentional sentence that made the Seventh Old Lord sleepy all of a sudden.

He smacked to his feet.

"No, no, there must be something greasy in this, could it be that the pearl has already taken a detour, right?"

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded thoughtfully.

This king also thinks that this is very possible. It must have been that Mingzhu who spread rumors on the road and led all the passers-by to the path, and she did this just in case we would be squatting on the path. ”

Whether you take a big road or a small road, as long as there are enough passers-by, the probability of success in fooling around will be greater.

This pearl is really not ordinarily smart.

Song Sisi on the side frowned.

"Does that also mean that the pearl must not be shown in its true face?"

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded, "That's a certainty." I guess her ability to disguise herself is even better than you. But it doesn't matter, don't we still have a corpse on our hands? We will now go and meet Your Majesty at once. ”

Although they didn't know what Zhu Gaoxuan planned to do next, everyone would not question his arrangement, so everyone went directly to the edge of the cliff to meet Zhu Di.

I thought that the guards would go around the bottom of the cliff to find someone, and it would be impossible to find someone in a short time, so Zhu Di is still staying near the cliff nine times out of ten.

But they couldn't have imagined that when they rushed over, they didn't see Zhu Di's shadow at all.

This kind of person is a little confused.

Where did Zhu Di go?

Zhu Gaoxuan looked at the bottom of the cliff, only to see the white expanse.

He hesitated.

"Leave a hundred people around here to look for it, remember not to disperse, pay attention to safety, if you really can't find it, forget it." Within two days, we must return to the county yamen to meet our people. ”

The county magistrate's yamen is now also under their control, but for the time being, there are only a few guards guarding it.

The guards were ordered to stay.

Zhu Gaoxuan turned the horse's head and walked back.

The seven princes beside him yawned as he walked.

"I said, fourth, what are we going to do next? Are we going to carry that corpse all along? Isn't that a bit of a bad luck? ”

Although it is already late autumn and the weather has turned cooler, it is not frozen after all.

Therefore, the corpse will still decay after a long time.

If they couldn't find Mingzhu and the others in a short period of time, they really didn't need to drag a corpse around.

But Zhu Gaoxuan has his own plans.

"That pearl is very smart, and she still has a concubine in her hand, and we are very passive now. And the concubine is old and in poor health. It's not going to drag on like this. So we have to move from reactive to proactive. ”

Turning reactive into proactive?

This is easier said than done!
