Shh! Walls have ears, you better watch out!
Another man curled his lip in disdain, but also lowered his voice considerably.
Zhen Wanwan and the others had already hidden themselves when they heard those voices.
Zhu Yuan looked to the other side and gestured for someone to go and find out what was going on.
The rest of the men brandished their weapons, ready for a big fight!
Zhen Wanwan tugged at Zhu Yuan's sleeve and secretly handed him the pistol.
It wasn't that she was arrogant, but in this situation, she couldn't aim accurately at the target, and she couldn't secretly appear behind the thief in front of everyone before accurately aiming and firing.
If we let Zhuyuan use it, it can be used to its fullest potential.
Zhu Yuan touched the cold surface and immediately realized what it was.
He quietly blocked other people's view and shook his head at Zhen Wanwan, telling her to quickly take it back.
Zhen Wanwan refused several times, but seeing his gloomy expression, she finally put him into her spatial storage.
Strangely enough, she had given Zhuyuan a pistol a long time ago, but she had never heard of him using it.
Even his trusted confidants who fought alongside him never saw him take it out.
Zhen Wanwan suspected that he might have lost it, but whenever she asked, he was able to take it out.
Gradually, Zhen Wanwan assumed that he was just not used to using this thing and stopped asking why.
However, in this critical moment, if they had this thing in hand, they could easily deal with any unexpected events.
Zhen Wanwan gritted her teeth. At worst, she would use it herself. Even if she couldn't hit the thief's vital points, crippling him would at least buy the other person some time.
Meanwhile, the scouts returned!
He moved closer to Zhu Yuan and whispered, "Your Highness, the Fifth...the Fifth Prince! I saw the Fifth Prince inside!"
Everyone looked at him in shock, and Zhen Wanwan was also very surprised.
As far as she knew, shouldn't the Fifth Prince have been killed by the Northern Hu people before they were driven out?
How can they still be standing here alive?
"When he died without a complete body, I felt something was amiss. I suppose it was just a way for him to avoid disaster!"
Zhen Wanwan nodded knowingly; the method of faking death has existed since ancient times.
No one wants to die if they can live, so the Fifth Prince was able to deceive Zhu Yuan and the others, which means he's not a fool.
"By the way, have you seen Guaibao and Tianbao inside?"
The scout swallowed hard, his expression strange, and replied, "The young master and the princess are also inside, and moreover..."
"Return what?"
Seeing that he was stammering, Zhen Wanwan realized that something had happened to the two children.
"Your Highness, don't worry. The young princes are fine. They have food and drink, and the Fifth Prince doesn't seem angry."
It's more like curiosity...yes, curiosity!
Meanwhile, the two children, Guaibao and Tianbao, who were being worried about by everyone, were staring at the man in front of them with serious expressions.
Guai Bao silently shielded Tian Bao behind her, feigning innocence and cuteness, and asked with a bright smile, "Uncle, would you like to invite my sister and me to your house to play?"
The Fifth Prince chuckled and poked his chubby cheeks.
She was clearly terrified, yet she smiled and asked him if he had been invited to come and play.
"Do you know who I am? My relationship with your father is so deep it can't be explained in a single sentence!"
"Your father killed my wife and children. Tell me, now that you're in my hands, shouldn't I kill you to vent my anger?"
The Fifth Prince's lips curled into a wicked smile, eager to see his beloved child kneel before him and beg for mercy.
However, Guai Bao was very confused. She cupped her face in her hands, looking bewildered, and earnestly explained, "Uncle, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? My father isn't the Prince Jing you're talking about. He's my mother's husband who married into the family. His name is Li Da Bao!"
"Li Dabao? Married into the family?" The Fifth Prince repeated in confusion, looking at the earnest and obedient boy in front of him, and really felt that he had mistaken the person.
He couldn't help but look at his subordinate: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? These two children really are Zhu Yuan's?"
His subordinate scratched his head, looking confused, but the confusion quickly disappeared.
In addition, to be absolutely certain, he observed for more than a month and was certain that he had not misjudged the situation!
"Your Highness, I am absolutely certain that I did not see wrong. I saw them calling Zhuyuan 'Father' with my own eyes!"
The Fifth Prince naturally believed that his subordinates would not dare to deceive him, so it must be the adorable little brat in front of him who was lying.
"Little friend, lying will make your tongue grow long, and that's not being a good child. Will you tell Uncle the truth?"
Guai Bao resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Please, he's not a real child who would be scared by such childish words.
Suddenly, Sweetie said in a soft, sweet voice from behind, "Brother wasn't lying, Daddy is Li Dabao!"
Her mother said that they were her little darlings, and her father was her big darling.
The Fifth Prince burst into laughter at the name. It was so corny and greasy, and he never expected that Zhu Yuan would look so serious on the surface.
How could he be so shameless and greasy in front of his own wife and children!
Li Dabao? Haha, I think he's more like Goubao!
Guaibao and Tianbao looked uneasily at the man in front of them who seemed to be going crazy, fearing that he might have mental problems and hurt them.
The Fifth Prince took a sip of the wine he had bought from Zhen's tavern in a good mood.
He had lived a life of wealth and luxury for so many years, but it was all for nothing. He didn't even have the same level of wine as those peasants.
He drank several cups in a row, enjoying them more and more, and turned his gaze to the two little ones in front of him.
"I remember this wine is from your family, right? Hmm... it's not bad. When your parents come, I'll have to..."
What do you want?
The Fifth Prince was drinking heartily and unconsciously uttered a few words from the heart. Before he could finish speaking, he heard a familiar voice.
He turned his head and saw Zhu Yuan's annoying face.
The Fifth Prince rolled his eyes rather inelegantly and retorted, "You're still the same as before, annoying since childhood!"
"You've finally arrived! I thought you wouldn't be able to find your way in!"
Zhu Yuan stared coldly at the Fifth Prince, as if he were looking at a dead man.
Seeing that his baby and sweet baby were both alright, he finally felt relieved.
The Fifth Prince gave a sarcastic sneer and pointed at Guabao and Tianbao: "These are your children, aren't they? They're quite cute, but they don't resemble you at all. They're actually quite annoying!"
Zhu Yuan said calmly, "No matter how much people hate me, I still have people who love me, unlike you, who are destined to be lonely all your life, and even in death you can only lie in someone else's grave."
The Fifth Prince stopped laughing. He raised his head fiercely and glared at Zhu Yuan: "If you hadn't been so ruthless, I wouldn't be in this situation."
"Don't forget, I saved your life when you were a kid. Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity?"
Zhu Yuan glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't forget, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been thrown into the lake and almost drowned."
