"There should be a gift in there."
Gu Wei came over at some point, followed Xie Ling's gaze, and spoke in a low voice.
Xie Ling raised an eyebrow, "A gift for the crown prince's ascension to the throne?"
The new emperor ascended the throne and announced it to the world.
Xie Ling and the others naturally knew it as well.
Gu Wei nodded, "Yes. The Fifth Prince's fiefdom is in the south, and he should be going to the capital to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne."
Xie Ling's eyes lit up, and she immediately grasped the key point, "Does the Fifth Prince have money?"
"Yes, the south is rich, and the fifth prince is the richest among the princes."
After getting Gu Wei's answer, Xie Ling couldn't stop smiling.
This fifth prince is so arrogant and overbearing, it seems that he is not a good person.
This gift...hehehe.
Gu Wei saw through Xie Ling's thoughts at a glance, "I'll ask Shu Jian to move mother and the others to a safe place. I'll help you."
Xie Ling nodded, frantically thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.
After a while, Pei and his friends left the thatched hut and went to the foot of the distant cliff holding umbrellas.
Gu Wei and Xie Ling quietly hid behind a patch of grass.
In the posthouse not far away, the fifth prince frowned and stared at the sky, complaining, "Why doesn't the rain stop?"
A soldier agreed, "Your Highness, I think we should stop now."
The fifth prince snorted coldly, his eyes like a dark poisonous snake, and he looked over with a high tone.
"If you don't stop waiting, I will skin you alive!"
The soldier's face turned pale instantly, his legs trembled, he didn't understand what he had said to offend the Fifth Prince, he immediately knelt down, "Please spare my life, Fifth Prince, I was just a villain, I was just talking nonsense!"
The fifth prince admired the soldiers' extremely frightened expressions with satisfaction, his eyes were very abnormal.
"It's boring to wait here for the rain to stop. How about I peel your skin off for my entertainment? Where should I start? Your face or your legs? You choose one."
As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve and played with the blade that was as bright as snow.
The soldier was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, with big beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, "Your Highness, I am a villain, I am a villain..."
The fifth prince glanced around and said, "What are you standing there for? Peel him off, or I'll peel yours!"
The old soldiers around him who had followed the Fifth Prince for many years had sympathy in their eyes.
The fifth prince is a moody madman!
This kid is so unlucky today, as the Fifth Prince is in a bad mood.
Everything that happened in the post station fell into the eyes of Gu Wei and Xie Ling.
Xie Ling frowned, "This fifth prince is too perverted, he kills people but does not torture them."
Gu Wei's eyes were cold, "When he was young in Shangjing, he was a troublemaker. He and I often fought. After he was transferred to his fiefdom, the people of Shangjing celebrated almost all night long."
"Did you win the fight? Were you bullied?"
Gu Wei glanced sideways, "Of course I won, who is your husband?"
Xie Ling was relieved and snorted coldly, "Then killing him would be considered as getting rid of harm to the people. Let's do it."
Amid the sound of the dripping rain, a shrill scream suddenly rang out, startling the birds living in the mountains and forests, causing waves of echoes.
The fifth prince tapped his crossed legs, leisurely played with the beads in his hand, and raised his eyelids in a cool manner.
"Not enough, didn't you eat? I want you to be skinned alive, what are you doing? Do you want to be punished like him? If you don't want to live, then die! I have so many guards, I don't need a few of you!"
As he spoke later, his tone became higher and more eerie, like that of a demon.
The soldiers around gritted their teeth and were about to kill them when a clear male voice suddenly sounded from the woods ahead.
It was as light and clear as a spring breeze, forming a sharp contrast with the Fifth Prince's cold voice.
"Li Yan, you are still so disgusting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black with a face like a bright moon walked out from behind the big tree. His three thousand black hair was held together with a jade hairpin. His eyes were like stars, handsome and captivating. Just one glance at him, and all the soldiers felt a chill run down their spines.
This kind of coldness was different from the coldness brought by the Fifth Prince. It was a kind of shock from the bottom of his heart, like a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, with indelible bloodiness.
The fifth prince's hands moved suddenly, and the beads suddenly scattered.
After a long pause, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his narrow eyes.
Although he had not seen him for many years, the Fifth Prince recognized the handsome young man in front of him at a glance.
Gu Wei!
When he was a child in the capital, because his mother's family was powerful, he was almost domineering and a little bully. Everyone was afraid of him and would take a detour when they saw him.
Except for one person—Gu Wei!
Gu Wei was a young genius. He was the best in poetry, song, horse riding and archery.
The fifth prince had been jealous of him since childhood.
But Gu Wei is someone you don't want to mess with!
He put bugs in Gu Wei's food, so Gu Wei climbed over the wall into the prince's mansion and put laxatives in his food.
He gathered other people to isolate Gu Wei, and Gu Wei put a sack over his head in the middle of the night and beat him up.
The young man Gu Wei seems gentle and polite, but in fact he is very tough and no one can bully him.
The Fifth Prince hated Gu Wei to the core.
But the Gu family has been generals for generations and holds real power, so he can't do anything to Gu Wei.
At this moment, all the memories of my youth came flooding back.
The fifth prince narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Gu Wei?"
After a pause, he raised his head and laughed, gritting his teeth: "There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in!"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows, "Why, didn't I beat you enough when you were a child?"
The fifth prince was completely enraged, and shouted: "Whoever catches him will be rewarded with 100,000 gold! Whoever catches him! Quick!"
