Chapter 443 He said you hate me
What a shame! The plan was well-planned, but the ally, a powerful fish, wasn't strong enough. The fourth prince of Tatar didn't come here to help Prince Li, but to pursue his own love. He wanted to kidnap the City Lord Zhuang, whom he had long admired, and bring him back to be his own princess.
Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly when he heard this. He had heard of the fourth Tatar prince Huke.
This man is a notorious fool on the grassland. He only has a face that is good to look at, and he often does some incredible things when his brain goes crazy.
For example, once, while staying behind, Hu Ke had a sudden idea to add dried flowers to the fuel of the wolf smoke, claiming it would make the smoke more fragrant. However, he accidentally set the grassland on fire, burning up the tribe's fodder for two months, and was nearly burned to death by the Khan's own father.
Did Aluhan really not intend to send such a person to assist Prince Li?
Chu Liuzheng had no idea what the emperor was secretly thinking about the fourth prince. She was reading the latest gossip.
The fourth prince's plan was quite simple. He would first abduct the four grooms, preventing the Zhuang City Lord from marrying any new brides. The Zhuang City Lord would then be furious and personally lead his men to settle accounts with him. Then, he would step into the trap he had prepared, and seize the opportunity to capture them.
[This way, he could not only bring his beloved back home to marry and have children, but he could also take Guiyun City into his possession, killing two birds with one stone.]
[Tsk tsk, first a lovesick woman snatched the wrong lover, now a lovesick man snatched his rival. The Fourth Prince's brilliant move disrupted all the plans. It's incredible. No wonder Prince Li is so furious. If the Fourth Prince were right in front of him, the two of them would have a fight to see who's better.]
Chu Liuzheng reopened the live broadcast post and continued reading.
[Speaking of which, it was Master Jiang… uh, no, he’s the City Lord now. City Lord Jiang is still the most reliable. He immediately reacted and caught up. Where on earth were my brother, Wanwanyu, and those three unfortunate guys taken?]
[They say that rivals in love become extremely jealous when they meet. Although my brother and his companions have been forced to become the Fourth Prince's rivals, the Fourth Prince doesn't know this. Will the Fourth Prince kill them?]
The more Chu Liuzheng thought about it, the more worried he became, and he read on at a glance.
As I looked, a question mark slowly emerged in my head.
[Wait a minute! How come the Fourth Prince knows my brother?! How come I didn't know the Fourth Prince came to my house when he was a kid?]
Xiao Jingfan's pupils shrank slightly, and he slowly clenched the imperial pen.
Could it be that the Chu family has some secret relationship with Tatar?
Oh~ So it turns out the fourth prince followed the Khan to the capital. He got lost while hunting in the mountains and somehow ended up in the village. The eldest brother was drying radishes at the door. When he heard the child was lost, he not only gave him food and water, but also showed him the way.
[They've already given food to people, so my mother should have mentioned it. Why don't I have any recollection of it? ]
Chu Liuzheng tried hard to recall, vaguely digging out some information from his distant memories.
[Um...could it be that time when my eldest brother brought back a beautiful dagger? I remember when we were out of food, I even pawned that dagger for two bags of rice.]
Xiao Jingfan, who was worried about Bai: "..."
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, hating himself for not learning his lesson.
[Now that we know each other, the Fourth Prince probably wouldn't attack my brother...... well, my brother is fine, but those three unlucky guys are! ! !]
The noise in Xiao Jingfan's mind made his head buzz, and he could no longer review the memorials on the imperial desk.
He sighed softly, put down his pen, stood up and stretched himself.
Chu Liuzheng didn't notice it, his whole attention was focused on the gossip live broadcast in front of him.
"Hey, big brother! Is this the time to reminisce? Your friends are about to be tied up and bled, why don't you just plead for mercy!"
She was so anxious that she wished she could escape through the words and shook her brother's shoulders.
In fact, Chu Shangming was also very anxious, but he didn't understand which word of his words just now caused the person in front of him to misunderstand and think that he was bullied and wanted to kill Brother Yan and the other two to vent his anger.
He really wasn't bullied!
Hu Ke had his own way of understanding it. He ordered his men to tie up Yan Chengtao and the other two and cut their wrists to let them bleed.
Chu Shangming suspected that he was learning fake Uighur language, otherwise why couldn't he communicate with this foreign boy who called himself Ke?
Hu Ke: "Do it!"
"Wait! Don't do it!" Chu Shangming rushed forward and grabbed the guards, his face anxious, "They are my friends, no..."
"Stop talking. I understand." Hu Ke stepped forward to pull him away, winked at the guards, and turned to Chu Shangming and said, "You've done me a favor. I can't give my beloved woman to you, but I can help you deal with these annoying guys."
Yan Chengtao couldn't understand the Uighur language, so he struggled and shouted anxiously, "What did he say?"
Pei Yunjian and Ren Qingxia were also looking over here.
"He said you are annoying." Chu Shangming took the time to reply, and continued to try hard to explain to Hu Ke while gesturing, trying to make Hu Ke understand that they are really good friends!
Three people: "..."
Ren Qingxia knew Pei Yunjian could understand some Uighur, so he tilted his head to look at him and asked, "Seriously?"
Pei Yunjian's face twisted for a moment, and he replied, "That's roughly what I mean."
Yan Chengtao: "..."
Ren Qingxia: “…”
They hadn't offended this young man from a different race who suddenly appeared, so why did they hate him?
"I think I know why he wants to steal the bride." Pei Yunjian's lips moved very slightly, and his voice was very low, so that only the three people tied together could hear, "He admires City Lord Zhuang."
Yan Chengtao understood instantly, his eyes widening: "He thinks we are his love rivals?"
Pei Yunjian nodded, that should be the case.
Ren Qingxia's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. His sweetheart was right next to him, so who would want to be a love rival with this young man?
"Then why is Chu Shangming okay?" Yan Chengtao didn't understand. Chu Shangming was the only one among them who took the initiative to put on wedding clothes. Even if someone was to be tied up, he should be tied up, right?
Pei Yun advised: "Deyin once showed him favor."
Ren Qingxia: "What favor?"
Pei Yunjian shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Yan Chengtao's face twitched. Why could Chu Shangming always escape danger with some weird reasons?
Seeing the guards approaching with scimitars in hand, he shrank back in fear, his voice drifting out from between his teeth: "Ren Qingxia, don't you know martial arts? Think of a solution quickly! I haven't lived enough yet, I don't want to die here!"
"Stop making noise." Ren Qingxia growled, the blade between his fingertips continuously cutting the rope, which was only halfway to breaking.
Pei Yunjian kept leaning sideways to block it for him, cold sweat dripping from his forehead and his face turned pale.
"I'm about to die, can't I leave a few last words?" Yan Chengtao also leaned over to help block it, muttering in fear, "You guys are lucky enough to have your loved ones by your side, but I'll be a lonely ghost after I die. If I go to the underworld, you guys must remember to wait for me."
