Chapter 127 I'm not as good as you
Before he could finish his words, a group of masked men in black rushed over from all directions: "I didn't expect you to be so alert. Even though we were so careful, you still found us."
"But it doesn't matter. There's no difference between finishing you off here and out here. You won't be able to return to Beijing alive anyway."
Bu Ruo smiled and said, "We're almost out of the jungle, are you so impatient? Aren't you waiting for your friends who share the same goal as you? After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
The man in black was stunned when he heard Bu Ruo's words. Besides them, there were others? Didn't the prince send them? Could they be the emperor's men?
The people who were hiding in the depths also appeared after hearing Bu Ruo's words: "As expected of Princess Zhan, you are indeed powerful. However, no matter how powerful you are, you will die here today."
"Oh my! Is the Heavenly Master alone? He actually sent a woman. I wonder if the Emperor has figured out that the Heavenly Master is the Crown Prince's biological father. If he hasn't figured it out yet, then the Emperor is truly useless."
The people sent by the Crown Prince were so shocked by Bu Ruo's words that they almost fell from the tree. Did they really want to listen to what Princess Zhan had just said? This must be kept to oneself, otherwise...
No, if those people were really sent by the Heavenly Master, how could they still be alive? Regardless of whether what Princess Zhan said was true or not, the other party would definitely not let them return to the Great Zhou alive.
Sure enough, the people sent by the Heavenly Master looked at them and said, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
The people sent by the Crown Prince were nervous: "Kill the people sent by the Heavenly Master first, and we'll talk to the War King and his wife later!"
Seeing the faint smile on Bu Ruo's face, Bu Tianrui and Bu Tianyi looked at each other secretly. Their sister's brain was indeed better than theirs. They were all ready to attack directly, but they didn't expect that their sister would make the two groups start fighting with just a few words. They just had to follow behind and take advantage.
In fact, it is very easy to understand. If they cannot kill Bu Ruo and his group, they will at most be punished when they return. But if this matter is spread back, they will all die.
After receiving the instructions, Cen Nan and Bi'er took advantage of the opportunity and the number of people in the two groups decreased rapidly, but the other side had no way to stop them.
Suddenly, a petite man in black returned to the tree and quickly formed seals with his hands. A cover made of black mist fell from the sky and quickly covered the few people.
Jin Congcong was afraid that his newly recognized adoptive parents and two brothers would be frightened, so he quickly comforted them: "Dad and Mom, it's okay, it's just a broken cover, Ruo'er can break it in a few strokes."
"Ruo'er is amazing! The god said she is his disciple. Ruo'er can tell fortunes and even curse our ancestors. She's much more powerful than that man in black."
Bu Ruo: ...
"Humph, you're quick to change your tune. My parents haven't even had the tea you offered them yet."
"Besides, how can I be as powerful as you? You are the young master of Wuming Mountain who doesn't know martial arts, the last disciple of Grandpa Du who can only cook and eat medicinal food that can kill people, and a coward who can't have money."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Ruo'er, you protect your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and leave the rest to me."
Bu Ruo had been very confident in Xiao Yulan since he knew he had recovered his consciousness. He had thought that Xiao Yulan would do something earth-shattering, but...
With just a wave of his hand, just a wave of his hand, the barrier that the man in black had worked so hard to create was instantly shattered into pieces.
When Bu Ruo saw this scene, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind that overlapped with Xiao Yulan. In a valley, a young man faced the people of the heaven with his back to him. He used the same action to directly push the other party back several miles away.
"Xiao Yulan...I seem to have seen you somewhere."
When Xiao Yulan heard Bu Ruo's murmur, his heart trembled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and could only fight quickly and decisively. The petite man in black didn't even dodge Xiao Yulan's two moves before being beaten and fled.
"Don't chase after the prince, let her go. With so many people dead, someone has to go back and report the news."
"Cen Nan, Bi'er, let one of the prince's men go too."
Jin Congcong gave Bu Ruo a thumbs up: "Ruo'er, you are still right. The Heavenly Master and the Crown Prince must be in chaos now. How can they have the energy to deal with you and the Prince?"
Bu Ruo ignored him and continued walking towards the exit of the jungle after seeing that everyone was fine.
After a while.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I have never asked you."
"you say."
"You were the one who called me out when I fell into a dream in the palace and couldn't get out. I heard your voice."
"yes."
"But I heard you call yourself... the Lord. Why? Do you know something that you haven't told me?"
Xiao Yulan coughed lightly: "Ruo'er must have heard it wrong. I am talking about this king. What is this king? This king does not know."
Bu Ruo looked at him suspiciously: "Really? Did I really hear it wrong? But I clearly..."
"Ruo'er, we're out, we're finally out. Can we go home now? I kind of want to go back to the palace."
Bu Ruo was interrupted by Jin Congcong before she could finish her words, so she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, no matter what it was, she would know it sooner or later. The most important thing right now was to send her parents and brothers back safely.
If I'm not mistaken, the Crown Prince and the Emperor should have sent several groups of people to ambush on the road, so the journey will not be peaceful.
…
Prince's Mansion
"What did you say? You said this prince is the son of the Imperial Master?"
The secret guard knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling. "Your Highness, it wasn't me who said that. It was Princess Zhan who said that."
"Moreover, the Heavenly Master's men were also present at the time. After hearing what Princess Zhan said, they immediately ordered their men to kill us all. I have escaped death and returned to report the news to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will make preparations early."
Xiao Jingrui slammed the teacup to the ground: "Prepare for what? What do you want me to prepare? Do you even think that I am not the son of my father?"
The secret guard knelt on the ground, not daring to look up: "Your Highness, your Highness must be the Emperor's son. I am just afraid that Princess Zhan will spread this matter when she returns, which will be detrimental to your Highness."
"And I've also received news that the Emperor... the Emperor seems to be investigating the Empress and your backgrounds. If the Emperor believes the slander, Your Highness..."
Xiao Jingrui was silent for a while, then sighed, "Thank you for escaping death and coming back to tell me this. I know about it. You can go down and rest first."
Looking at the secret guards leaving, Xiao Jingrui's eyes flashed with gloom: "Fang Nian, kill him. This matter must not be known to outsiders."
Fang Nian has been with Xiao Jingrui since he was a child and can be said to be the person he trusts the most.
"Yes, even if you didn't tell me, I didn't want him to live."
"But Your Highness... you'd better go to the palace and ask the Empress about this matter. I don't think this is groundless rumors. Regardless of whether you are the Emperor's biological child or not, we must make preparations early."
Xiao Jingrui sat in the study for a whole day, and finally entered the palace before the palace gate was unlocked.
