Chapter 275 He is a spy!
War horses are precious, so there are soldiers guarding even the smelly stables.
With the five princes leading the way, getting into the stable was naturally not a problem, but taking people away was not such an easy task.
The Fifth Prince's gaze swept across the faces of the people of Huan Dynasty, and his heart felt heavy.
We live under the same sky, but our sorrows and joys are not shared!
The Fifth Prince quickly lowered his voice and spoke again, "Are you... going to call over and kill those soldiers guarding the stable as well?"
At this moment, his expression showed subtle resistance.
Killing Liang Xiang's men is different from killing Wen Xiang's soldiers.
The former only eliminated Liang Xiang's selfish desires, while the latter would mean helping foreigners kill soldiers from their own country! That was almost treason!
Cheng Nianying glanced at him and said, "Why bother? Liang Xiang wants to make you the king, so they should listen to you, right?"
The fifth prince was relieved. "Yes, yes, they will listen to me. They will definitely listen to me. I will give the order to send them away."
Cheng Nianying responded, knife raised, and approached. The people in the border town instinctively shrank back. She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't cut the ropes on them one by one.
There are so many people around that things can get bad easily, so it's better to tie her up until she comes back.
"Wait for me here for a moment." Cheng Nianying instructed, and turned sideways to lead the fifth prince and the third prince away.
Wu San said: "Wait!"
"You... who are you? Were you sent by the official from Huaiyuan to rescue us? But how, how could he..." send a woman?
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment and said naturally, "I am the crown prince of the Huan Dynasty."
"What is the Crown Prince?" The people on the opposite side looked confused.
The fifth prince replied in a complicated tone, "In the future, I will be your emperor, the Son of Heaven."
The people's eyes widened immediately.
Cheng Nianying didn't look at their expressions at the moment. She pushed the third prince on the back with one hand and said, "Let's go."
They just came, dumped a body, and left for a while.
The people came back to their senses in shock.
"What did she say she was? The future emperor?"
"A woman as emperor?"
"But the emperor came to save us! Why would the emperor come to Huaiyuan to save us?"
They looked at their arms and their legs.
It is said that poor people have short lives.
Can such a poor life be saved by the emperor?
That’s the emperor!
Wu San did not join in their discussion. He had already cut his own rope, then turned around and quickly cut his wife's rope.
"Could she be lying to us?"
"The one walking beside her is the prince of Wenxiang Kingdom!"
"I think the prince listens to her. If she's not the crown prince, who is? This crown prince is really powerful!"
"Why would she lie to me? What's there to gain from me? I'm starving to death."
"Then I believe her. I think she is here to save us. Didn't you hear her say that she would take us back to Huan Dynasty?" The woman's eyes lit up. She felt panic in her heart because she had never seen the empress, but she also felt inexplicably excited.
At this time, Wu San carefully approached the corpse on the ground, reached out and turned it over to take a look: "This face..."
"What's wrong with his third uncle?"
"I've never seen this face before." Wu San looked stunned and thought for a long time.
In the crowd, a man suddenly changed color and blurted out, "Master Liang!"
Wu San turned around suddenly: "What? Who is he?"
The man shrank back with a strange expression, the trembling and fear in his eyes had not yet completely faded.
Just as he was about to speak again, Wu San suddenly pounced on him, shouting to his wife at the top of his voice: "Hua'er, Hua'er, catch him."
Wu San's wife didn't understand what was going on, but she also rushed over.
The couple pressed the man down tightly, and Wu San covered his mouth and nose with his muddy hands, tightening them again and again, not daring to let him make any sound.
The others were all shocked, having no idea what was going on.
"Uncle San, what are you doing?"
The other side.
The soldiers not far from the stable were talking to the fifth prince. As they were talking, their faces turned strange and they pricked up their ears: "What's that sound?"
The Fifth Prince tensed up and said stiffly, "What's that sound?"
The soldier listened attentively for a moment, but could hear nothing. Turning to face the Fifth Prince's stiff expression, he mistook it for the noble's impatience and coldness, and quickly lowered his head, saying, "I misheard!"
"Well, did you understand what I just said?"
"Yes, yes, we will stay away and will not disturb His Highness and the adults!"
"Go ahead."
The fifth prince sent the soldiers away and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning to look at the new crown prince of Huan Dynasty, he was not panicked at all.
The third prince spoke at this time: "I'm afraid something happened in the stable."
Cheng Nianying looked back and said decisively, "Let's go back to the tent first." Wangyue was still guarding there.
She was too patient. The third prince pursed his lips and had no choice but to follow her back obediently.
It’s the same as carrying Liang Xiang just now.
They carried Wangyue out as if she were a corpse.
The soldiers guarding the camp saw this from afar, but didn't think anything was wrong. "That Huan Dynasty maid must have been killed," they thought. After all, it was a Huan Dynasty woman who died. If the higher-ups wanted to kill her, it wasn't their place to worry.
Behind the stable on this side.
Wu San held the man firmly down, turned around and whispered to the others, "That corpse belongs to Wen Xiang's high-ranking official! He was riding far away on horseback when we were captured that day!"
"What?"
"The high official of Wenxiang is dead? Was it the crown prince who killed him?"
"But his Third Uncle, what are you doing holding Agen?"
Wu San said coldly, "Didn't you hear what he called that high official Wen Xiang just now? He called him Sir Liang! How did he recognize him? We couldn't even get enough of calling him a piece of shit! He kept calling him Sir. Isn't that strange?"
Wu San's wife, Hua'er, slapped her thigh and nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, it's very strange. We're scattered outside the city, so how come the soldiers were able to capture us so easily?"
Suddenly someone blurted out: "Spy! He's a spy for Wen Xiang, isn't he?"
When the man named "Agen" heard the sound, he knew that he could no longer pretend and immediately struggled violently.
Huaer used all her strength, as if she were plowing the field, to barely grab his arm.
Agen opened his mouth and bit Wu San's hand, making him bleed, but Wu San held back and did not let go.
"It's okay, it's okay, he can't run away, he's still tied up, shut his mouth." Wu San hissed.
Huaer fumbled around a bit, picked up the stone she had used to sharpen the rope, and quickly pricked Agen's cheeks with it twice.
Agen twitched in pain and loosened his grip on his mouth, but his struggle did not slow down.
The two sides wrestled with each other in a brutal manner, risking their lives.
The others were extremely anxious: "Why haven't you come back yet?"
The starlight is faint.
The wind made them shiver even more.
Just then, another sound of footsteps approached.
