Chapter 82 Nonsense

Looking at the princess staring straight at the clear soup noodles in front of her, it was obvious that she was not satisfied with the food.

Feng Qi also glanced at his master with dissatisfaction. He had been eating the princess's food all the way, and now he was taking advantage of her in his own fiefdom.

Even he himself felt ashamed. This was too unmanly.

Han Muchen acted as if he didn't notice Feng Qi's dissatisfied look. He walked to the table, picked up the bowl of clear soup noodles, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Qin Chuchu stared straight at the man opposite her. He was a prince and was not picky about food. If she said anything more, it would seem pretentious.

I looked up at the sky outside, then at the clear soup noodles in front of me.

Maybe it was because the weather was too cold and it was difficult to buy ingredients at the inn, so dinner was so simple.

After comforting himself for a while, he picked up the bowl of noodles and started eating.

Han Muchen raised his eyes and glanced at the woman opposite him. Her dissatisfied yet forbearing look made him feel inexplicably comfortable.

After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup and about to get up and go back to the bed, he saw Feng Jiu who had just come in.

As soon as Feng Jiu came in, he approached the man, staring at him with his eyes, and pointing outside with his mouth.

It was obvious that he had something to say. Han Muchen glanced at Feng Qi, who understood and followed Feng Jiu out.

After a while, the man and the animal came to the door of the innermost guest room on the second floor, and indeed heard a familiar voice.

"Sir, how many men did the Second Prince lose this time?"

Zhang Yatou came closer to Liu Zhi and lowered his voice.

"Thirty people, not one returned alive!"

Liu Zhi frowned. He heard from the Second Prince that the people sent this time were all ace-level assassins, but he didn't expect that they were wiped out again.

One can imagine how many people are protecting Han Muchen in secret.

If this continues, when will Han Muchen die and when will he be able to return to the capital?

Zhang Yatou was also horrified when he heard this. He had heard from Liu Zhi before that the people sent this time had monstrous martial arts skills, but not a single one was left alive.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Zhang Yatou looked at Liu Zhi. They were about to reach the far north. If Han Muchen became free again, it would be even more difficult to take action.

"This is for you!"

Liu Zhi took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and gave it to him.

"This is………??"

Zhang Yatou frowned and looked at the small paper bag in front of him, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"This is the colorless and odorless poison that Han Muchen was poisoned with last time. Find another opportunity to do it again!"

Last time, Han Muchen and his secret guards were almost killed by this poison. Since assassination failed, they would poison him again.

Although it does not have the conditions of the last Shili Poison Town, this poison is colorless and odorless after all. If the opportunity is right, it should not be easily discovered.

"Your Excellency, are you asking me to do it?"

Zhang Yatou did not take the medicine powder from Liu Zhi's hand, but looked at Liu Zhi in surprise.

This is a dangerous thing. Once discovered, he might not be able to return to the capital alive.

Seeing his thoughts, Liu Zhi's face turned cold.

"I don't trust anyone else to handle this. The Second Prince doesn't have much time left for us. If we don't kill Han Muchen soon, I'm afraid neither you nor I will be able to return to the capital.

As long as this is accomplished, not only will you and I be able to return to the capital soon, but we will also enjoy endless wealth and honor."

Liu Zhi had a serious look on his face. He didn't want to stay in this freezing place for even a moment and wished he could go back to the capital right away.

I regret having agreed to the Second Prince, otherwise I would still be serving as the Director of the Xuncheng Division in the capital.

Although the official position is not high-ranking, it still has real power and there are a lot of benefits. Why bother getting involved in this muddy water?

But it's too late to regret now. He can only bite the bullet and move forward, otherwise he will always be labeled a criminal.

Even future generations will not be able to hold their heads up high.

“………”Zhang Yatou said nothing.

He stared straight at Liu Zhi in front of him, and actually had the same idea in his mind.

He regretted taking this mission, but when he thought of the high position and generous salary promised to him by the second prince, he became excited.

"Okay, then I'll let my subordinates handle this!"

After saying that, he took the medicine powder from Liu Zhi's hand.

Liu Zhi curled his lips in satisfaction and took out another packet of medicine powder from his pocket.

"This is the antidote. I wanted to take it in advance."

“Why is there only this one pack?”

Zhang Yatou looked at the antidote in front of him with confusion. This packet was only enough for him. How would he cure the poisoning of his other brothers?

"To avoid any accidents, the fewer people who know about this, the better!"

Liu Zhi looked meaningfully at Zhang Yatou in front of him.

The meaning is very clear, only the dead can keep secrets.

“………”Zhang Yatou was shocked.

He looked at Liu Zhi in front of him in disbelief. Although he and his men were not on life-and-death terms, they did get along well when they were in the capital.

Now, in order to get things done, I don't care about their lives, and I feel very uncomfortable about it.

I really wanted to help them fight for it again, but seeing Liu Zhi's determined look, I gave up the idea.

After all, when we left the capital, the second prince repeatedly told us to follow his orders, so we can only accept this.

After the two left the room, Feng Qi and Feng Jiu came out of the room next door.

With a serious face, he went to Han Muchen's room...

The next morning, when Qin Chuchu saw the porridge and pickles on the table, she started to feel sour in her mouth.

The noodles I had last night were watery and now I'm eating bland porridge.

No matter how good your temper is, you can't hold it in anymore.

"Feng Qi, can't you ask the waiter to bring something fresh? Even two steamed buns will do!"

She glared at Feng Qi with dissatisfaction. She usually served them like an old nanny, but she couldn't even get a delicious meal in return. All the delicious food was fed to the dogs.

“………” Feng Qi choked.

I glanced at my master who was drinking porridge and eating pickles, and he didn't seem to want to say anything, so I could only make it up.

"Hey, Princess, there's no other food in the inn."

As Feng Qi spoke, he pointed in the direction of the door and glanced at his master.

I could get away with it once or twice, but after a long time, I don’t know what to say.

Following the direction of his finger, Qin Chuchu looked outside. Although she felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, it did seem possible, and the anger in her heart really subsided a lot.

Seeing the princess's sad face, Feng Qi came over in a flattering manner.

"Hey, Princess, Zhao Yatou has already informed us that we should wait until the cold wave is over before continuing our journey. Otherwise, how about I accompany you for a stroll in the streets?

This Qingzhou Prefecture is much larger than the towns we passed by, so I think it should be quite lively!"

"Really!" Qin Chuchu was delighted.

Although I am not tired from traveling every day, I have been walking for several months. After hearing what Feng Qi said, I suddenly felt like I was on National Day holiday.

He didn't think the porridge in front of him was bland, and drank it all in just two or three gulps.

"Wait for me a moment. I'll go into the carriage and change into some thicker clothes."

After she finished speaking, she ran out excitedly.
