Chapter 81 Not at all reserved
Jiang Fei was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and nodded slowly.
"Your Highness saved me, so I can't possibly bring you trouble again, right? Forget about the others, but Zhao Xingbang is still the son of the Prime Minister. Besides, I've already avenged myself. How about I just spare his life?"
Zhao Xingbang nodded desperately with a cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"You beat him up like this today, aren't you afraid that he will come back and take revenge on you?"
Jiang Fei looked at Zhao Xingbang, and Zhao Xingbang shook his head desperately again.
"He wouldn't dare, would he?"
Zhao Xingbang's head almost left an afterimage.
Perhaps some of the previous words touched Pei Jing's nerves, and the impatience on his face gradually disappeared, and he seemed a little relaxed.
He glanced at Duan Jiu and said, "There's no need to keep the others."
"I understand." Duan Jiu raised his hand and gestured, and immediately someone tied up Zhao Xingbang and his servant and hung them on the back of the horse.
Pei Jing pushed Jiang Fei's back and walked forward. When she was about to turn back, he held her head and said, "Don't look back."
Jiang Fei swallowed and guessed that they were probably cleaning up the mess.
"Can you ride a horse?" Pei Jing asked.
Jiang Fei can ride a two-wheeled bike, but she has never ridden a four-legged bike. "No."
Pei Jing climbed onto his horse and looked down at her. "I'll give you two choices. One is to walk back by yourself, and the other is—"
"Two, two, two, I choose two." Jiang Fei said before he finished speaking. She walked back by herself because she was sick.
Pei Jing chuckled, leaned over, held her arm, and with a little effort pulled her onto the horse.
Jiang Fei fell into an embrace with a slight smell of leather.
The warmth of the man's body burned through his thin skirt and on his waist. As the reins crossed, she could smell the faint scent of cold pine on his body.
This is indeed a bit ambiguous. Jiang Fei could only comfort herself that in modern times, if she wanted a young master to hold her, she would have to go to a nightclub and spend money, but now, it is free for the prince to hold her. This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Just treat Pei Jing as a free duck. When you think of this, the ambiguous feeling disappears instantly, and instead you feel a sense of pleasure of getting the upper hand.
"What are you thinking about? Sit down."
"I didn't think anything." Jiang Fei said hurriedly. She didn't dare tell Pei Jing that she treated him like a duck.
Pei Jing pulled the reins and turned the horse around. Just as he was about to set off, he saw a guard coming hurriedly, clasping his fists and reporting.
"Your Majesty, there is another person in the room."
"Who?" Pei Jing guessed the answer almost at the moment he asked this question.
The guard said, "It's Miss Wei from the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion."
Pei Jing immediately dismounted, took two steps, and turned back. "Do you want to wait for me here or go with me?"
"Together." Jiang Fei held the saddle and prepared to dismount, but her waist suddenly felt tight. Pei Jing pinched her waist and put her down.
The two walked back one in front and the other behind.
Pei Jing twirled his fingertips and glanced at Jiang Fei's thin waist. "Didn't the Jiang family give you food? Are you so poor?"
Jiang Fei was thinking about something and didn't hear clearly, so she said "Huh?" in confusion.
Pei Jing rolled his eyes at her, didn't repeat it a second time, and walked away with quicker steps.
Next to the thatched house, there was an even more inconspicuous woodshed, and it was there that the guards found Wei Ciying.
She had just woken up and shouted for help when she heard some noise outside.
When Pei Jing and Jiang Fei arrived, she was already shivering and sitting on the bed where Jiang Fei had been lying before.
"Ci Ying."
Seeing the two people come in, Wei Ciying whispered "Prince" and then pounced on Jiang Fei.
"Sister-in-law! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Fei hurried forward, helped her sit down, and looked her up and down.
Wei Ciying's sleeves were torn in several places and her hair was disheveled, but fortunately there were no obvious external injuries.
"They didn't do anything to you, did they?" Jiang Fei asked.
Wei Ciying shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Where are we?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Fei said, "How did you get caught here?"
She had been thinking about this question on the way back just now. Since Zhao Xingbang knew that Pei Jing liked Wei Ciying, how could he have the courage to attack her?
Given Zhao Xingbang's cowardly nature, he should have avoided it as much as possible.
"After I got off the boat, I saw that you, sister-in-law, hadn't waited for the carriage from your house, so I thought of sending you back."
Wei Ciying exhaled, slowly calming her breathing as she spoke, "I saw you guys buying food on the road, so I followed you. Who knew I'd see someone attack you? I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't think too much and just followed them. Who knew there were so many of them? When I woke up, I was here."
Jiang Fei nodded thoughtfully, and saw Pei Jing looking at the ground with his eyes half closed, then he glanced at her, turned around and walked out of the room.
Wei Ciying was about to speak when she heard a scream from outside.
"Wait here, I'll go take a look first." Jiang Fei hurriedly followed him out and saw Zhao Xingbang lying on the ground with a knife on his neck.
"It's not me, it's really not me!" Zhao Xingbang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his crotch was already wet. "Your Highness, please understand! Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to touch Miss Wei!"
Pei Jing's boots stepped on Zhao Xingbang's chest, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Then why is she here?"
"I really don't know!" Zhao Xingbang wailed, "I only asked them to capture Miss Jiang Er. I don't know how she got here. It really wasn't me..."
"Maybe, maybe they were afraid that the truth would be exposed, so they just grabbed him." Zhao Xingbang thought of this, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Yes! That's right! This must be the case."
Seeing that Zhao Xingbang didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Fei walked up to him and asked, "Where are the people who kidnapped me? Let's ask them."
"It's too late."
Pei Jing threw the knife with an unexpected look on his face, and Duan Jiu took it and put it back into the sheath.
It was just a coincidence that I was just one step late.
Suddenly there was a noise at the door of the thatched house. The two turned around and saw Wei Ciying walking out holding the door frame.
"Jiutao, give me a hand." Jiang Fei said.
Jiutao responded and helped Wei Ciying walk over.
"My family must be very worried. Could you please send someone back at full speed to deliver a message so that they can be assured?" Wei Ciying said weakly.
Pei Jing nodded, and Duan Jiu immediately arranged for people to come.
This place has been taken care of, there is no need to stay any longer, Pei Jing turned around and ordered: "Go back to the city."
Jiang Fei pulled Wei Ciying towards the horse tying area, talking to her in a low voice.
Pei Jing looked at the backs of the two people walking side by side and gradually slowed down his pace.
Duan Jiu naturally didn't dare to walk ahead of the prince, so he could only walk slower than him and spoke cautiously: "Prince, the person sent back to report the news will also go to the Jiang family to report the news."
Pei Jing acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to talk to himself, "Who cares if she cares about me? Why would she need to worry about such a trivial matter as killing Zhao Xingbang?"
Duan Jiu was speechless for a moment, then continued, "Miss Jiang Er also has good intentions. At least one troublesome matter has been avoided. The Censorate will not make trouble, and the Emperor does not need to explain too much."
When the emperor was mentioned, Pei Jing's eyes suddenly dimmed.
He cast his gaze on the person in front of him and said, "I gave her two choices, but she couldn't wait to ride with me."
She complained, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Not reserved at all."
