Chapter 196: Woe to the Estuary

Wen Chen hurriedly turned her on her side, and as Liyang spat out a few mouthfuls of turbid lake water, the whole person slowly regained his senses.

"? Can a kiss really save a life? ”

The bearded man was surprised.

Wen Chen glanced at him, took off the long shirt on his body, and wrapped it around Liyang's body to prevent him from going away.

"Dear...... Kiss? What kisses? ”

Liyang's lips turned white, and he looked at the two of them a little blankly.

Before Wen Chen could speak, the bearded man was the first to complain, "Your Royal Highness Princess, this kid just kissed you on the mouth for the reason of saving his life, and touched your chest!" You can't spare him! ”

Only then did Liyang feel a pain in his chest, and immediately moved back in a panic!

"Wen ...... Wen Chen! You are bold! ”

"How can you do this?!"

Wen Chen sighed helplessly, "The means used by this king just now is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as for whether to take advantage of the opportunity, Her Royal Highness the princess decides for herself." ”

He didn't bother to explain too much, and directly turned his head to look at the bearded man, "Second brother, this king gives you a chance, you can pretend not to know about the princess falling into the water today......"

"How is that possible? You are a thin princess, Lao Tzu must complain to his father! Wen Yue immediately shot back, but thought in his heart, if you kid can make Lao Tzu snort just now, this matter is fine, now you want to calm things down? It's not that easy!

"Okay!"

Wen Chen snorted, "The second brother set the dog to commit murder, plotted against him, and tried in vain to murder Her Royal Highness the princess of the dynasty, dare to kill the princess today, and dare to kill Your Majesty tomorrow!" ”

"This king is a thin princess, with the degree that my father values me, the big deal is to be beaten down, no matter how bad it is to be reduced to a commoner, there is no worry about life, but the second brother is different, you are so deliberate to design the princess, the hat of rebellion will definitely not be taken off, hurry back and handle the aftermath!"

Don't look at your beard, you seem to be old, but you don't hesitate to play with Lao Tzu, you are still tender!

Wen Yue's body trembled, recalling the scene yesterday when his father made himself apologize to Wen Chen in public, and a chill welled up in his heart!

Damn it!

If this charge is confirmed, he will lose face and lose his life!

Even if he offended the princess, his father would never have killed Wen Chen, this kid was a great hero of the Great Defeat of Southern Qi, and a figure that Emperor Jingren valued!

It's different, although he has been in the army all the year round, he hasn't accumulated much military exploits, and this big crime has fallen on his head, with his father's temper, he will definitely not take into account the father-son relationship of the two, and he will directly hand himself over to Tianjing City to deal with!

"Three...... Third brother, don't, the second brother is just joking with you, you and I are brothers, how can the second brother not remember the sibling affection and sue you for the black state......"

Wen Chen sneered, but he was not so stupid that he was hopeless, "Second brother, remember, this king doesn't like you to make this kind of joke." ”

"Remember, remember......" the bearded man laughed again and again, "but the prince said it himself, so the second brother can ...... Hey hey ......"

"You don't have to worry about this!" Wen Chen lightly glanced at Liyang, who was still silently biting her lip and tangling, "The princess knows the general situation and can see who is the one who is good to her." ”

With that, he shook the oars and began his return journey.

As for the black dogs, they were also driven to the next boat, and they were shivering with cold, ignoring their owners who were still soaking in the water.

After returning to the Zhennan Palace, Liyang didn't say a word, and hurriedly returned to his residence, and there was no movement for several days, just sent someone to send Wen Chen's shirt over, and didn't even bring a message.

However, the news of Liyang's falling into the water did not spread, and the palace was still peaceful, waiting for the arrival of the ministers of the imperial court, only Lu Youzhi went to visit Wen Yuli many times, but was rejected by the king of Zhennan, without one exception.

Kawaguchi Castle, Taishou Mansion.

A one-eyed general played with the glass ornaments on the table and looked at Pei Zhi on the side with a smile.

"Brother Pei, you said that the soldiers that the prince wanted were dismissed, and the people that the prince wanted, you also said that you went back to Nanqi, and now it is such a coincidence, the treasury where the account books are stored is still on fire, and you will send me away with this mere 800,000 taels of silver, is it a bit excessive?"

Pei Zhi frowned, and sighed secretly, this Chengniu is his old acquaintance, the two of them have known each other since they assisted Wen Yu when they made a comeback, but although they are both military generals, he himself looks down on the one-eyed cow.

The temper of this goods is more stinky than his own, and it can even be described by the word tyranny, when he led the army to unify the three southeastern states, the king of Zhennan ordered to slaughter the city three times, and each time he took the lead in doing it!

Those are all local people in the three southeastern states, and Pei Zhida doesn't like this kind of goods that can kill even his own people.

But now that Wen Chen is not there, he has no choice but to act according to the plan and try to avoid conflict.

"General Cheng, if you look at the three southeastern states, which city can take out 800,000 taels of silver a year to pay taxes and taxes? Don't be dissatisfied, just accept it when you see it, take the money and hurry back to find the prince to restore his life, the official has to be busy with government affairs. ”

Cheng Niu's face turned cold when he heard this, and he snorted and said, "If you see it, you will accept it?" That's not my style, and it's not the prince's style......"

"Someone! Bring people up! ”

"No!" Outside the door, the silver armor responded.

Pei Zhi frowned, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Brother Pei, don't worry, you'll know later......"

A moment later, five or six teenagers who had been tied up with flowers, as well as an indignant old man, were sent into the main hall.

Pei Zhi's pupils shrank, this is the most important student in the school, His Royal Highness is very hard-working, but the old man is Yun Zhongzi who has returned from seeking revenge, although he went out for a year under the banner of the Sea King, although he did not find the enemy who killed his parents back then, he was also willing to become a master in the back kitchen in the school.

"General Cheng, what do you mean by this? Do you still want to do something to the old, weak, and the young? ”

"Master Pei, this day I sent people to surround the school, smashed the things inside, and said that it was the order of His Royal Highness the Sea King, tied up the students inside, and asked the people to ransom people with silver!" Yun Zhongzi said angrily.

Pei Zhi's heart sank, when Cheng Niu entered the city with the silver armor army, he only cared about sending troops to guard the Wen Mansion, but neglected other places.

"General Cheng, how much silver are you going to want?"

The one-eyed cow laughed, "It is said that now the people of Hekou are rich, and every family has fine clothes and fine food, and General Ben is very happy to see it, why don't you do this, the more than 8,000 students, a family will pay five hundred taels of silver to redeem themselves, this price is very reasonable, right?" ”

Pei Zhi gritted his teeth, and roughly calculated, the total ransom must also be five million taels of silver, which is indeed an astronomical amount if it were replaced by the estuary two years ago, but now it is different from the past, although the price is much higher than the price expected by His Royal Highness the Sea King, but the situation is urgent, and it should still be given!

Presumably, even if Wen Chen was present, he would not have put the safety of more than 8,000 students at risk in order to save millions of taels of silver!

"Is General Cheng going to take the money and leave?"

"That's what I'm going to do for the time being." The cyclops smiled and nodded.

"The silver official is now trying to find a way to raise it, you release the people first!"

The one-eyed cow's eyes narrowed, his smile instantly converged, and he turned around and slowly came to a young man, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Do you know what happens to deceiving the prince?"

The young man looked fearless, and said with a stiff neck, "Daddy the principal said, everyone is created equal, and you are not qualified to rob us of things!" ”

"Really?"

A chill flashed on the one-eyed cow's face, and he slammed his hand on the young man's neck, and said with a cruel smile, "It's unfortunate that Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set, today Lao Tzu will not only rob your things, but also take your life!" ”

When Pei Zhi heard this, he suddenly felt bad and shouted, "Don't!" ”

But it was too late, the one-eyed cow just used a slight force, and then he heard a click, and the young man's head drooped weakly, and a trace of bright red flowed from the corner of his mouth!

"Brother Pei, from now on, every time you spend an extra stick of incense to make up silver, I will kill one of them, and after an hour, change it to five per pillar of incense, if you still can't make up the silver taels tomorrow morning, I will kill all these eight thousand little beasts!"

"Ahh!!h

There was a painful wail from the side, and Yun Zhongzi's eyes were about to split, because of his physical defects, he had already regarded every child in the school as his own relatives, and the same was true of Ning Ya, who was soft-hearted at the beginning.

Now seeing that his child died tragically at the hands of others because of a word, he was filled with grief and anger for a while, broke free of the rope with a bang, and pounced towards the one-eyed dragon!

"thief! This way is fighting with you!! ”
