Chapter 209: She never seemed to want to rely on him]
"Exactly! No wonder those people are so arrogant, even daring to steal gold mines. They must have someone behind them!"
"What should we do...are we really going to die here?"
Everyone couldn't help but panic, and at this time, the people who had just been ordered by the chief of the officers and soldiers to come and capture Chen Fenghe had already approached.
Xiao Yunshuo frowned, took a wrong step forward, and stood in front of Chen Fenghe.
Chen Fenghe immediately understood that he was going to protect her, and hurriedly pulled down his clothes, whispering, "Don't do anything rash! Be careful, someone is watching in the dark."
The masked men who came over earlier, and the man called "Master," were probably all related to these officers and soldiers. What if one of them was from the palace...
"Don't worry. I have a way to get out of this." Chen Fenghe added.
She has a space, so even if she is caught, she can use the space to escape. Moreover, there are a lot of cold weapons, modern weapons and poisons in her space, so she can still deal with just a few soldiers.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but frown and glanced at her.
It seems that the Crown Princess herself has never been willing to rely on him...
At this time, Chen Wu and Yuan Xun also stood in front of Chen Fenghe. Chen Wu clasped his fists and said:
"My lord! Miss Shen cannot be touched! I am an official in charge of escorting exiled prisoners to Youzhou. This Miss Shen is none other than the deposed Crown Princess. The Emperor, out of kindness, pardoned Miss Shen's death sentence and only sentenced her to exile. Do you, my lord, wish to be charged with the murder of the former Crown Princess?"
"Yes! Your Excellency, please think twice! If you really kill the Crown Princess, wouldn't that be disobeying the imperial order? By then, I'm afraid no one will be able to protect your life and property!" Yuan Xun also spoke.
Upon hearing this, the leading officer was stunned at first, then hesitated. However, he quickly steeled his resolve and sneered, "Former Crown Princess? Ridiculous! Am I afraid of a prisoner? Even if this matter gets out, it will be said that the former Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's remnants are plotting a rebellion! I have performed great merit and will surely be rewarded by His Majesty!"
Chen Fenghe sneered at this moment, "Your Excellency, what you said is ridiculous. I am just an exiled prisoner, escorted all the way here. How could I have had the opportunity to come into contact with the remnants of the Crown Prince? If this gets out, Your Excellency can naturally call a spade a spade and accuse us of treason. But how many people in the world will believe the rumor of treason? How many people will privately spread rumors that this is a deliberate frame-up by the Emperor to silence us? If then, the reputation of the current Emperor's kindness will be ruined. Your Excellency, you will have to decide whether you can bear this crime or not."
Of course, the premise is that if this matter can be spread...
The expression on Shen Fenghe's face became even colder.
I'm afraid these people will do everything they can tonight to bury everyone in the gold mine and completely cover up this matter.
Cold sweat broke out on the leading officer's face. He also understood that the choice he made in this matter would determine his life. If they were just some coolies, he could have killed them all. They would have been missing anyway.
But now an exiled princess was inexplicably involved, and if she really died in his hands, then he would be the perfect one to take the blame!
At this moment, the sky lit up with signal fireworks again. The leading officer was startled and was about to speak when a voice suddenly said, "Captain Xu, that's enough! Who gave you permission to be so rude to the former Crown Princess?"
