Chapter 337: Almost There
After hearing his master's words and seeing his serious expression, Feng Qi hurried over, took the letter from his hand, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, this means your confinement will soon be lifted!"
He was a little emotional, and although his masters usually couldn't show any emotion on their faces, they all knew in their hearts how much pain he was feeling.
For the sake of the people of Dayu Kingdom, he started fighting on the battlefield when he was a teenager, but in the end he was accused of treason and was imprisoned here and not allowed to leave.
Now it’s all good. After the people sent by the emperor come to inspect, they will definitely report the situation here back.
The emperor was originally more biased towards his master, so he could use this as an excuse to pardon his master's crime.
Seeing how excited he was, not only Feng Liu, but even Qin Chuchu came over.
I don’t know what made them so excited.
When she saw the content of the letter, she smiled.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor will surely reward you with many treasures this time, right?"
She looked at the man in front of her with joy. The old emperor actually sent people to inspect. If he knew that the people here would not starve, it would be a great achievement and he would definitely reward him with a lot of things.
The things in the palace are all rare treasures. If the old emperor is happy, who knows how much he will reward. Although it is not a reward for myself, I am happy for this man.
Who made him so poor!
“…………”Han Muchen remained silent.
He had originally had a serious expression on his face, but after hearing Qin Chuchu's words, he scratched her nose helplessly.
What a little money-grubber!
Even Feng Liu and Feng Qi on the side twitched their lips. It was impossible not to accept the princess's train of thought.
"Princess, the Emperor doesn't just give you rewards!"
"Then what else?" Qin Chuchu looked at Feng Qi in confusion.
In ancient times, when people made meritorious contributions, weren't they rewarded with promotions or gold, silver, and jewelry?
The Living King of Hell is already a prince, so he definitely won't be promoted. He can only be rewarded with some gold, silver, and jewelry. Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Seeing that the princess looked unaware, Feng Qi patiently explained.
"Princess, if the Emperor knew that the people here would not starve, he would definitely give you a great achievement. I think he would first restore your freedom, and then you would no longer be a criminal!"
Feng Qi became more and more excited as he spoke. He had followed his master to fight on the battlefield for many years and had never suffered such humiliation.
Being charged with treason and under house arrest, it makes me feel suffocated just thinking about it.
After hearing his words, Qin Chuchu's eyes lit up.
"Really? Then we can just walk around and go wherever we want?"
She glanced at the people in front of her, her eyes filled with surprise.
I didn't expect such a good thing would happen. It's so uncomfortable to be trapped here. If the living king of hell regains his freedom, he can take me around.
I don’t have to worry about danger with him by my side. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Seeing the silly woman so happy, a trace of guilt flashed across the man's eyes, and he used his bony hands to smooth the loose hair on her forehead.
"Well, if I regain my freedom, I will accompany my beloved wherever she wants to go!"
He looked at Qin Chuchu in front of him lovingly, and knew that she was bored of staying here. If he really regained his freedom, he would let her wander around as much as she wanted.
“Haha…that’s great!”
Qin Chuchu tilted her neck back and smiled with her teeth showing. Suddenly, she remembered something and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"Oh, by the way, we must bring more people with us when the time comes, so as not to be tricked by Han Mulei!"
She looked at the people in front of her with a serious face. The reason she didn't dare to leave was that this man was a criminal and could not leave.
There is another more important reason, which is that Han Mulei is always thinking about plotting against them.
If I can really go out for a walk in the future, I have to bring more people with me to avoid encountering people I can't beat.
“…………”Han Muchen frowned.
After listening to Qin Chuchu's words, I was reminded all of a sudden.
"I guess Han Mulei won't be so honest. Write a letter to Feng Si and ask him to keep an eye on him."
He looked at Feng Qi in front of him, thanks to the stupid woman's reminder.
How could Han Mulei not think of what they had thought of? With his temper, how could he give himself a chance to turn things around? I guess he won't be at peace for the next few days.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Feng Liu nodded and walked out with a serious face. This was a big deal and could not be delayed.
"Where is Feng Si?"
Qin Chuchu looked at the man in front of her in confusion and heard him say Feng Si several times.
I don’t know where he is or what he is doing now. I haven’t seen him yet.
Thinking of this, she continued to ask.
"And I haven't seen Feng Er and Feng San either. Are they with Feng Si?"
I have been here for almost a year, but I haven't seen them and I don't know what they are doing.
“…………”Han Muchen.
“…………”Feng Qi.
The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
But soon, Feng Qi took over the conversation.
"Hehe, that's right, they are together, just like Feng Yi, helping the prince manage those shops in various places!"
As he spoke, he glanced at his master guiltily.
I almost let the cat out of the bag. I'm really worried about how miserable the princess's death will be when she finds out that they lied to her.
“…………”Han Muchen.
He also touched his nose guiltily and felt that this was a difficult problem.
It's really hard to cover up such a big lie I made up to deceive a stupid woman.
But he also had his own difficulties. He had not fallen in love with this stupid woman at first. Not only that, he also suspected that she was a spy sent by the Qin thief.
There were several times when he wanted to strangle her to death, and even when he spent her money, he felt justified in doing so.
After all, if his father hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.
But now it’s different. He knows that the stupid woman and his father are not the same, and he also likes her.
I don't plan to lie to her anymore in the future. As for the lies I told her before, I can only take it one step at a time.
Now he just hopes to regain his freedom as soon as possible. He has had enough of staying here all day.
On the other side, General Cheng, Marquis Yongning, and Grand Tutor Sun had also set out on the road to Qingzhou Prefecture.
Because they were all older, not only were they riding in a carriage, but the speed was not very fast.
It was six or seven days later when we arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Before this, the prefect Zhou Quan had already received Han Mulei's letter and had arranged everything, just waiting for them to come and inspect.
As soon as Grand Tutor Sun and his companions stepped into the territory of Qingzhou Prefecture, they saw a large group of people gathered in the fields in the distance.
I don't know what they were doing, but I could hear the noisy noise from such a distance.
"No, no, there's no water here, let's go somewhere else!"
