262 Empty hands

It was still the middle-aged homeowner yesterday morning, still shouting angrily. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to him, but Wu Zheng was just about to raise his feet and jump towards the east courtyard wall again, but he heard two shouts from the dilapidated courtyard behind him, almost at the same time:

"Wu Zheng!"

"Lord Wu. ”

Ning Xiaokun, who called his name, and the second voice was obviously Princess Caifeng.

Wu Zheng's feet were about to jump off the ground, as if he had been immobilized, and he was suddenly firmly fixed on the ground. The middle-aged homeowner took advantage of the situation to pounce and grabbed Wu Zheng's arm, lest he run away.

When the courtyard door was smashed open from the outside, and a pair of Imperial Forest soldiers rushed in with weapons in their hands, quickly surrounding Wu Zheng and the middle-aged homeowner who grabbed his arm in the core, Ning Xiaokun in the small courtyard next door had already jumped in from the courtyard wall. But Princess Caifeng, accompanied by Ning Xiaoqian, walked in with the Royal Forest Army who rushed in.

"What people, lay down your arms. ”

In fact, Wu Zheng's Haoyue sword inserted in the package was not pulled out at all, and the package was still hanging diagonally on his shoulder.

"You all get out. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. ”

Hearing the order of Princess Caifeng, who walked in from the gate of the courtyard, the royal forest soldiers quickly bowed down and withdrew, and casually closed the courtyard door from the outside.

The middle-aged homeowner, who was originally pulling Wu Zheng's arm, hurriedly let go of Wu Zheng and knelt on his knees to salute when he heard that the princess had arrived.

"Uncle, get up. ”

Since Princess Caifeng had been in the courtyard for a pair of red eyes on Wu Zheng, she didn't seem to see the homeowner kneeling and kowtowing, so Ning Xiaoqian whispered to that person.

The middle-aged man got up when he heard the sound, and knew that he should not appear in front of the princess, so he hurried back into the house and closed the door tightly.

Wu Zheng also saw Princess Caifeng's abnormality, and just when he didn't know how to explain it, he saw Gu Luan suddenly cry inexplicably, and quickly lowered his head and turned around, walking towards the gate of the courtyard.

This sudden scene immediately aroused the suspicion of Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun, and the sisters glanced at Wu Zheng, then turned around to catch up with the princess Gu Luan, who had already come to the door, and didn't know how to speak.

"Sister Luan, Sister Luan. ”

Hearing an unfamiliar voice outside the door, at the moment when the courtyard door was opened again, I saw Princess Caifeng quickly wipe the tears on her face, and agreed softly:

"Brother Five. ”

Hearing these three words, it was Ning Xiaoqian's turn to feel uncomfortable, so she hurriedly took a step back, and stood sideways under the wall on the west side of the courtyard gate.

"Sister Luan, as soon as the morning dawned, my fifth brother and I went to the inn to look for you, but I didn't want Sister Luan to come here, let us find it." ”

Although it was the capital that left with the Imperial Forest Army, the pampered prince was still left behind for a long distance. By the time they entered the city, it was already dawn. Hearing that Ning Tianjue, the deputy capital who came first, said that Princess Caifeng was safe and lived in an inn, so she hurriedly looked for it, but she didn't want to.

"Starling, just want to come out and take a walk, I'm fine. ”

When Wu Zheng heard this, it was good, even the fifth prince Chen Wang Gu Keng, and the eighth prince Zheng Wang Gu Ye also came to Sihui County. This can't help but make Wu Zheng suspect that the emperor's intention to arrange it like this should be related to Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun.

"Who are they?"

The fifth prince and the eighth prince saw Wu Zheng standing in the courtyard, his head, face and clothes dirty, and Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun, who were slightly timid, standing sideways with their heads bowed to one side, and asked without thinking.

"Fifth brother, starling brother, this is not the place to speak, let's go to the inn and talk about it. ”

Hearing Gu Luan say this, the brothers didn't know that the imperial sister went to Jinling to convey his father's marriage will, and then looked at the two slim and graceful girls, but they immediately understood the identity of the jade in front of them. just glanced at Wu Zheng, who was standing in the middle like a wood carving, and the two brothers quickly retreated.

After the sudden interruption between the fifth prince and the eighth prince, the princess Gu Luan has returned to normal. Shi Shiran turned to look at Wu Zheng and said softly:

"Thanks to Lord Wu's care along the way, Gu Luan said goodbye. ”

After saying that, he turned around, pulled Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun one by one to open the courtyard door and walked out.

It can't be that you come to look for yourself early in the morning, just to say goodbye, right?

Hearing that there was silence outside, knowing that the princess and her party, as well as the Imperial Forest Army as a guard, had gone away, he raised his feet and walked out, standing on the street and looking left and right for a while, Wu Zheng resolutely turned around and walked in the direction of the east city gate.

With the Royal Forest Army here, it was really inconvenient for him to search for the whereabouts of those gangsters, so Wu Zheng thought that he would simply hide outside the city. Moreover, I have never been accustomed to kneeling and kowtowing when I see people, and I just pretended to be stupid and stunned, but what if I meet those two princes again?

In fact, the real reason why Wu Zheng didn't want to stay in the city was not the above two points, but Wu Zheng didn't want to think about it. He really didn't want to see Princess Caifeng again. I don't know why, since he fled in panic yesterday morning, Wu Zheng would be flustered even when he thought of Princess Gu Luan. For example, just now, Gu Luan looked at him, and he was so nervous that he sweated finely.

I had already seen the crowd queuing up at the gate of the city and being checked by the soldiers one by one, and Wu Zheng was thinking about the words when he was interrogated, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and when he was approached, a short man with a slightly thin figure walked by, intentionally or unintentionally, touched his right shoulder. And, just as he turned his head to look to his right, there was a faint feeling in his chest of being gently brushed by a hand.

With a thrill in his mind, Wu Zheng's right hand suddenly twisted his arm and stretched it back, his thumb bent, and without looking back, it was already a real Qi stabbing out silently, and it accurately hit the lifeline point on the back and waist of the short and thin man.

The defenseless short and thin man's body suddenly went limp, and under the influence of the inertia of walking just now, he was about to fall to the ground when he stumbled. Wu Zheng took advantage of the situation to turn around, and while he quickly held the other party up, he also pulled him into his arms.

"Shangguan Buji?!"

Suddenly remembered the words of the Hundred Changing Heavenly Fox, although he had never seen the Miaoshou empty Shangguan Wuji, and the appearance of the person in front of him was not similar to the rich middle-aged man who was familiar to Mo Zi the night before and thought it was an empty hand. Wu Zheng still asked in a low voice, just wanting to test it with a match.

Although the short and thin man who was caught in his hand was unable to react physically because the acupoint was sealed, and there was no obvious change in his facial expression, Wu Zheng still caught the instant dilation of the other party's pupils. In other words, the other party was still nervous when he heard his own questioning.

"What did you say to me, little brother?"

Not only did he not shout loudly, but he pretended to be confused, which would inevitably increase Wu Zheng's suspicion of him.

Immediately, Wu Zheng didn't say anything, half-supported the short and thin man with his right hand, and no longer walked to the city gate, but turned around and walked back along the way he came. (To be continued.) )
