Chapter Eighty-Eight: Princess Anping
Inside the Zhou Mansion.
The dead soldiers sent out came back to report the news, and they intercepted Princess Anping's convoy.
A group of more than 300 people, all of them were killed, but Princess Anping and her maid were not found, which is a bad thing.
"Second brother, does this woman have the ability to predict the future? I'll take someone to find her personally, and I'll make sure to do her! β
"Don't fool around! - How many days have passed, the palace must have taken action, we can't take any more risks, what about the dead soldiers under our command? β
"Nine died, and eleven remained."
"Well, get rid of them all."
Only the dead will not speak.
The third child was quite distressed: "These dead soldiers, all of whom are strong in martial arts, killed them like this, it's a pity." β
"Without killing them, can you make sure they won't be caught? Won't leave evidence for Qin Chuan? The people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are not eating dry rice. How can you have the kindness of a woman when you do great things, and you go and dispose of them. As if nothing had happened. β
As soon as Zhou Jichen turned around, he didn't want to listen to the second brother's ramblings, and it was his strategy to get rid of Princess Anping.
Everyone is killed, there is only one princess missing, and the little hoof must be near the area of Ziping Pass, and he has to find it himself.
At noon, Qin Chuan felt Ziping Pass, which was just a small town.
This place was only a temporary resting place set up by merchants, and there were no government officials, and the whole town had less than 6,000 people.
Qin Chuan came in civilian clothes, and the more than 1,000 guards around him were all dressed in civilian clothes.
"Hooray...... Do you want to check it out immediately? β
"Well, the sooner the better, you can't find it here, so let's go to the next place."
The people dispersed and inquired on several streets of the town.
There are many beggars in the town, and there are them in every street.
"Guest officer, uncle, it's good, let's give me something to eat......"
Qin Chuan took out a piece of silver, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and looked back, at the entrance of the town, the dust was flying, and more than a dozen people were galloping on horses.
After entering the town, the man at the head drew his long knife and shouted, "We are from the imperial court!" Come and pick up Princess Anping of Lan Kingdom! Where's the princess?! β
Funny, how can the people of the court wear masks, do they need to do this?
Qin Chuan got up slowly: "Yao Cheng, who can these guys be?" β
"I'll go and find out when I go to the lowly position."
"No need, they should be the ones who caused Princess Anping's disappearance, let them find someone first, and tell them to go down, the Royal Forest Army should not conflict with them, what they want to find is a woman."
"Yes!"
The visitors shouted in every street, and then when they saw a woman, they would come up and touch it to see their appearance.
The portrait of Princess Anping is in their hands.
Half an hour later, a masked man whistled, and then Qin Chuan ran over.
Twelve men, twelve horses, and two beggars in the middle.
Naturally, they were all women, but disguised as beggars, and one of them was Princess Anping.
The masked man on the horse drew his knife and unsheathed it: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's been a long time!" β
"You ...... What are you going to do?! β
The maid stood in front of her: "Presumptuous! Now that you know the identity of the princess, you still dare to draw a sword, do you want to rebel?! β
"Rebellion? Lao Tzu is a courtier of Great Xia, not from the Lan Kingdom, I was ordered to come here to get rid of you for the emperor! β
He said to the maid, "You can get out, we want a princess." β
Yao Cheng in the shadows clenched the hilt of his sword: "Your Majesty, this group of bastards wants to leave a living mouth to report back to Languo, the purpose is to provoke war between the two countries, if you don't do it now, the princess will be in danger!" β
"Go ahead."
The masked man on the horse was about to kill when a roar came from the alley where he didn't want to go.
"The Guards! - Take down these traitors! β
In an instant, a thousand Royal Forest soldiers came out together, surrounding more than a dozen poor insects, and who won and who lost, made a judgment.
Zhou Jichen turned the horse's head, but it was too late to run, and he was surrounded on all sides, and he said, "Yao Cheng...... How are you?! β
"It's not just me, but the emperor is also there, listening to your voice is a little familiar, you won't be from the Zhou family, right?"
"Horse's ...... Kill me! Kill it! β
Seeing the joke, a dozen people want to deal with more than a thousand people, which is too naΓ―ve.
On the eaves, twenty crossbowmen fired arrows at Zhou Jichen, and with a bang, they shot him into a hedgehog, and each arrow hit his leg without hurting his life.
"Ahh βββ
Zhou Jichen screamed and fell off his horse.
Immediately afterwards, the crossbowmen on the eaves pierced the hearts and necks of the eleven dead men with arrows and arrows.
"Uh...... My leg...... Uhhhh β
His whole body was trembling with pain, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Chuan's indifference.
Yao Cheng removed his mask: "It's really you, Zhou Jichen." β
"Phew! If you want to kill, you can kill, our Zhou family has no bad seeds! β
Qin Chuan: "You dare to rob and kill the princess of Languo, do you know what will happen to you?" Ling Chi was put to death. β
"Hahaha! Qin Chuan, if you don't pretend to be someone with me, you will die, I am not afraid! Mixed out of the barracks, I'm going to be afraid of this? One person does things and one person does it, I'm waiting for you to kill me! β
"Who else is involved besides you?"
"Nobody."
"Okay...... Yao Cheng took him back to Dali Temple and handed him over to Uncle Guo for interrogation. β
Princess Anping and the maid hugged each other tightly, and her delicate face could be seen under the dust.
Very cute little girl, only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Qin Chuan stepped forward and was blocked by the maid.
"Stop!"
Yao Cheng: "Presumptuous, this is the saint of today." β
The maid questioned this: "Holy? Is there and a voucher? Can anyone prove that you are not here to murder the princess? β
This is really not, Qin Chuan was in too much of a hurry to leave the palace, changed his clothes, and there was nothing on his body that could prove his identity.
In other words, the maid and the princess are very tasteful, with blue eyes, which is very cute.
"Yes, Xiao Companion also told me earlier that the women of the Lan Kingdom are very different from the women of Great Xia, and they know how to serve their husbands very well. Would you like to serve me together? β
And he said this to the maid.
Emperor Chrysostom has opened, provoking the laughter of the Imperial Forest Army.
The maid felt humiliated, grabbed a short dagger from her waist, and wanted to stab at Qin Chuan.
Sou!
An arrow pierced her arm.
"Ahh βββ
The princess behind her hurriedly ran up and hugged the maid: "Princess, princess?!" How are you?! β
Confused, the identity has been reversed?
It turned out that this maid was the real princess, and they swapped identities just in case.
Qin Chuan stepped forward: "I'm sorry, it's me who is abrupt." Go back to the capital with me, there is a doctor in the palace who can cure you. β
β¦β¦
Zhou Jichen was taken to Dali Temple, and Wang Wenzhi was promoted to the hall for interrogation.
