Chapter Seventy-Six: Return to the Capital
"General Yan should still have something to deal with, so I'll go back first."
The smile on the corner of Pei Zheng's mouth became stronger, and he disappeared in an instant with the cloud and wind.
"Pei Zheng!" Yan Shaohua reacted to what happened, and turned around angrily, but Pei Zheng was gone, and he was the only one standing in place, looking at the corpses all over the ground, with nowhere to vent the anger in his heart.
After Pei Zheng went to the shore, the chopping wind fell in front of Pei Zheng, "Master, do you want to dispose of that boat?" ”
"Go ahead."
Pei Zheng waved his hand and let the chopping wind retreat, and his eyes unconsciously looked around.
"Master, Miss Jiang is here." Qiyun showed a look of understanding, and took Pei Zheng to Jiang Mingzhi's hiding place.
The further he went, the stronger the familiar smell became, and after walking a short distance, he finally saw Jiang Mingzhi.
Hearing the sound of footsteps in his ears, Jiang Mingzhi raised his head and happened to see Pei Zheng who was hurrying over.
The four eyes are facing each other, looking at each other without saying anything, everything is silent.
Hongyue and Chopyun retreated into the distance very sensibly, unwilling to disturb the two.
"If you don't go today, I have no complaints." In the end, it was Jiang Mingzhi who was the first to speak, after all, she didn't expect Pei Zheng to take the initiative to step into the trap for him.
Hearing this, Pei Zheng hid the worry in his eyes, and spit out coldly, "The prime minister will come today, not for you." ”
"Yes, the Lord will come here for the matter of Southern Xinjiang, now that His Majesty knows about this matter, he will definitely ask the Lord to find out as soon as possible, and today is an opportunity to find out the truth of the other party, I don't know what the result will be after the Lord investigates?"
The atmosphere between the two was really too embarrassing, Jiang Mingzhi simply coughed twice, followed his words, and quietly led the topic to the side of the matter.
"So at the end of the day, you don't even know who's going to kill you?"
Pei Zheng also wanted to alleviate the embarrassment, but his way made Jiang Mingzhi feel choked.
The emotion when he saw the appearance of the few people who cut the clouds dissipated at this moment.
"The big tree that the Yan family is leaning against can only be the queen, but the prince has been established, and the queen has covered up the collusion between the Yan family and southern Xinjiang this time, so it is difficult to become a ......prince."
Jiang Mingzhi frowned slightly, and subconsciously said everything she thought, but halfway through speaking, she realized that her conjecture was too bold, and the rest of the words were finally not spoken.
"This matter will be investigated by the prime minister, so don't let the prime minister hold back."
After throwing down this sentence, Pei Zheng completely turned his body to the other side.
Jiang Mingzhi's eyes widened with disbelief, and he immediately reacted that Pei Zheng meant that she was complacent before leaving the mausoleum, but this kind of thing happened not what she wanted!
But before she could speak, she saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the water, which instantly attracted her attention.
"Let's go."
The flower boat should not be able to be saved, Pei Zheng saw that the fire was gradually spreading, so he took the lead in walking back.
Looking at his back, Jiang Mingzhi could only follow quickly.
After a few people returned to the inn, Jiang Mingzhi was completely relieved, next time she didn't want to encounter such a worrying thing again.
Hongyue fetched hot water for her, but saw the bracelet on her wrist disappear at a glance, "The bracelet was accidentally lost on the flower boat?" ”
"Of course not." Jiang Mingzhi waved his hand at her, "That bracelet was made by me myself, and I put ten miles of incense in it, as the name suggests, the fragrance of this spice can spread for ten miles and last, this is my life-saving bracelet." ”
Looking at Jiang Mingzhi's proud appearance, Hongyue blamed herself even more in her heart, if she could protect Jiang Mingzhi, how could she use that bracelet at such a time.
"We did smell the smell of the strange smell and found the room all the way, perhaps because we had been wearing the bracelet for a long time, and this smell gradually became familiar to us."
After Hongyue said these words with a smiling face, she went to Pei Zheng's room and told all about Fang Cai's situation.
"The subordinates failed to protect Miss Jiang, and I beg the master to punish him."
Before the words fell, Hongyue knelt in front of Pei Zheng.
The person on the seat snorted coldly, and Jiao Hongyue trembled, but couldn't say a word.
"This time, the man in black came at Miss Jiang, but we were completely unprepared, and we couldn't blame Hongyue entirely."
Seeing Pei Zheng's bad expression on his face, Cho Yun hurriedly came out of the shadows and knelt beside Hongyue.
After all, they had been together for so long, and it was impossible for them to watch Red Moon lose her life because of this incident.
Although Chopping Wind didn't say a word, he also knelt with the two of them.
"Unprepared?" Pei Zheng only felt ridiculous, and there was inevitably a little displeasure in his tone.
"It's because we didn't expect them to attack Miss Jiang, it's indeed our negligence, but please spare Hongyue's life!"
The two of them spoke together, and a touch of emotion crossed between the red moon's eyes, but they didn't want to affect them, "One person does things and one person is responsible, please punish the master!" ”
There was silence in the room, and Pei Zheng slowly spoke, "If I have to kill her, what should you do?" ”
"Subordinate, but according to the master's orders!" Red Moon was the first to speak, and she didn't forget to glance at the two of them.
"We will not question our master's decision, but we will collect her body and bury her alive!"
It was the last thing they could do for Red Moon.
"The death penalty is forgiven."
It was not overnight that these people followed him, Pei Zheng thought that he would be uncomfortable without any of them, so he changed his mind.
Hearing this, Hongyue was overjoyed, and did not forget to kowtow to Pei Zheng, "Thank you for the master's grace of not killing!" ”
"Thank you, master!"
Pei Zheng lightly spit out the second half of the sentence with thin lips, "The crime of life is inescapable, the guards are not effective, go down by yourself to get fifty military sticks, and when you return to the capital, go to the training ground five times." ”
Chopping Cloud and Wind was stunned, they could be called a nightmare from the training ground on weekdays, and they were just about to plead again, but Hongyue took the first step to deal with the matter.
"Subordinates obey."
Several people retreated together, not wanting to see Jiang Mingzhi who was standing in place and didn't have time to leave just after going out.
Seeing the embarrassment between Jiang Mingzhi's eyebrows, they disappeared in the blink of an eye with a tacit understanding.
Pushing the door in, Jiang Mingzhi plucked up the courage to speak, "This time, you can't blame Hongyue entirely. ”
"That's why Benxiang spared her life."
Pei Zheng's gaze fell on Jiang Mingzhi, and unconsciously finally landed on her empty wrist.
"No matter what Red Moon says, you're also your person, so you must be more reluctant than I am." Jiang Mingzhi came here for Hongyue, but she didn't expect Hongyue to move faster than her.
Although she was not spared punishment in the end, as Pei Zheng said, she finally saved her life, and she had no better way but to go back in a huff.
After a night of repairs at the inn, the group set out on their way back to Beijing.
Fortunately, nothing like this happened along the way, and I finally returned to the capital without danger.
Returning to the long-lost Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Mingzhi was completely relieved, and he didn't even change his clothes, just lying on the bed with such a big grin.
