Aunt Zhou brought some rice porridge into the house and asked Zhou Xing to eat some. He had not eaten a single grain of rice during the days he was in a coma and his health must be unwell.
"Fortunately, the city lord has good medical skills, otherwise you would be in trouble. If anything happened to you, what would your mother do..."
When she found out Zhou Xing was in trouble, her tears almost dried up. Fortunately, he survived, so nothing else mattered.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault."
Aunt Zhou shook her head. How could she really blame her son?
"Take a good rest and don't worry about anything else. We still have a lot of food stored at home. We won't starve even in the Tiger Camp."
Zhou Xing didn't care where he lived, he just felt sad when he thought that he almost ruined the city lord's plan.
After feeding Zhou Xing some medicine, Aunt Zhou left the house.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she still went out of the yard and went to a place not far from their house.
There was a thatched hut here, which was relatively intact. As soon as she walked over, she saw a few lazy men standing outside the hut, looking into the house with lustful looks on their faces.
"What are you doing? Go away, go away!"
Aunt Zhou came forward with a fierce face and chased people away.
Those people looked at Aunt Zhou and sneered, "Who asked you to meddle in other people's business? Be careful or we will beat you to death."
Aunt Zhou was no stranger to trouble, so she wasn't afraid. "Before you take action, you'd better think clearly about where this place is. You may not have seen how powerful those men in black are. They will kill you without leaving any bones behind!"
They had arrived at Tiger Camp the day before. Mengzi immediately told her about the current situation in Tiger Camp. Knowing that Su Yu had accepted another group of people, Mengzi told her not to be afraid. Since these people had arrived at Tiger Camp, they had to follow the rules here. He told her to go to Black Protector if she had any problems. He had already informed Black Protector.
The Black Protector had eaten a chicken from her house before, so he had to owe her this favor!
When those people heard Aunt Zhou mention the man in black, they shrank back a little.
Those men in black will not show them any mercy. Before, someone in the village committed a crime and was sent to the men in black, and he has not appeared since then.
A few people were afraid of the men in black, so they left in dismay.
After they left, Aunt Zhou went into the thatched cottage.
There was a person lying in the thatched hut. If you didn't look closely, you could hardly see the rise and fall of her chest.
The wounds on Qingqing's body had been cleaned, but because the injuries were so severe, her face was still swollen.
Aunt Zhou looked at the almost unrecognizable face and felt so depressed that she couldn't calm down.
She was a spy sent by the State of Jin, who almost killed her son but saved her in the end.
Mengzi said that given Zhou Xing's situation at the time, he would have died if Qingqing had not brought him to Su Yu in time.
But if it weren't for these spies, how could Zhou Xing encounter such an accident?
"The city lord didn't take your life, which proves that you have paid the price for what you did. I hate you, but my son also owes you. I will take care of you, and you can leave as soon as your injury heals."
Qingqing's fingers moved slightly, but she never opened her eyes.
…
Night falls.
A group of people quietly approached the gate of the border city of Jin State.
Xie Rui was about to cry as he looked through the car curtain towards the city gate.
They were so eager to get back to the city as quickly as possible that they didn't notice another team hiding in the dark.
"Great, I can go back soon."
As soon as Lvyi finished speaking, a group of people came out of the darkness and quickly intercepted the team.
We were about to reach a safe area, but unexpectedly someone would rush out to kill us on the way.
"Protect the master!"
The accompanying guards stepped forward and blocked the carriage.
Lvyi also took the position of the coachman, ready to drive out at any time.
The two sides started fighting.
Xie Rui's heart was in his throat.
"Whoever kills the eldest prince will be rewarded handsomely!" the other party suddenly shouted coldly.
The killers who rushed out worked even harder.
The people who came to escort Xie Rui were quite skilled in martial arts, but they were no match for the enemy's large numbers. When Lv Yi was about to take Xie Rui to the city gate, the people behind him quickly rushed over and jumped into the car, with a cold sword on Xie Rui's neck.
"Walk!"
Xie Rui was kidnapped again!
Among the people who escorted him, only three were left alive, except for Lu Yi.
"You guys chase them, I will go back to the city immediately to explain the situation to the Third Master."
"good."
Zhou Wei knew that Lvyi and the others would return to Jin today, so he had been waiting for news in the house.
The sky was about to brighten, but there was still no movement outside.
Even Zhou Wei, who was patient, started to feel a little uneasy at this moment.
As he wished, as soon as he stood up, he heard footsteps outside the door.
"Third Master, something bad has happened."
Lord Wang looked pale. He had been with Xie Rui for many years, but had never been so anxious.
"What is it? Tell me."
"Your Highness has been kidnapped again."
Zhou Wei's eyes twitched suddenly, "Those people in the Northern Wasteland are so powerful!"
Lord Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, it's not them."
Zhou Wei's face was gloomy. "What's going on?"
Lord Wang then asked Luyi to come in and explain the situation clearly.
After Lu Yi finished speaking, Zhou Wei’s expression became even uglier.
Even though people were already outside the door, they were still captured!
"Third Master, I think those who kidnapped the eldest prince are not from the Northern Wilderness. When they took action, they shouted that there would be a huge reward for anyone who kills the eldest prince."
If the Northern Wilderness wanted to kill Xie Rui, his bones would rot.
This reminded Zhou Wei of what Xie Rui had told him before, that someone had poisoned him.
But who could this person be?
"Did the other party leave any loopholes?"
Lv Yi took out a silver plate from his body and said, "I found this on a corpse."
When Zhou Wei saw the silver medal, his pupils instantly became extremely gloomy.
"It's the Second Prince's secret guard!"
He knew that the Second Prince Xie Jun had a lot of secret guards. They had fought secretly before, and the other party had the same token on him.
"The Second Prince's men?"
Lu Yi and Lord Wang were both extremely surprised. Why did the Second Prince's men come here?
Could it be that the news that Xie Rui had arrived in the Northern Wilderness had leaked out?
If the emperor knew that Xie Rui left Jin State without permission and was kidnapped, would he still give him the position of crown prince?
"Third Master, what should we do now?"
Zhou Wei was very angry, but he had to endure it, because being angry at this time would not solve any problems.
The current situation is too passive for them. "You continue to send people to find the whereabouts of the eldest prince. This matter must not be leaked. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
As soon as the people left, Zhou Wei immediately came to the desk, wrote down the situation here and his plans, and sent it back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
