On this snowy night in December, Lieutenant General Xiao received no response to his question. He watched as the Prince of Qi rode his horse, Fu Tong'er in his arms, and the entire team halted without a single command from the Ninth Master. Furthermore, the young prince held Miss Fu's waist with one hand, while his other arm, which was holding the reins, shielded her from the wind and snow...
From this scene, it can be seen that the Prince of Qi probably has deep feelings for Miss Fu.
Amidst the blizzard, the surroundings were eerily quiet. Especially for Jiu Ye, who was often furious on the battlefield, watching the woman he loved in the arms of the Prince of Qi, being so lovingly cared for, he must have wanted to behead her with a single blow.
"Let someone check this inn to find out whose property it is." Lu Zhenzhi finally spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the back of the Prince of Qi holding Fu Tong'er in his arms not far away. His deep eyes looked calm but gave people a chill.
Lieutenant General Xiao didn't dare to watch any longer. He had seen how the Ninth Master slaughtered the city—how blood flowed like a river, how he was addicted to killing his enemies, how he kicked enemy heads like balls on the battlefield, how he pierced through multiple bodies with a single sword, and other terrifying scenes! So he respectfully replied, "Yes! Ninth Master!"
The wind and snow were raging, and Lu Zhenzhi's aura was even more violent than the wind and snow—!
"Pass on my decree: a reward of ten thousand taels of gold will be offered for the head of the Crown Prince of Qi."
Lu Zhenzhi's rage was perfectly controlled. His tone was calm, yet he was ready to go on a killing spree.
Qi State must have grown stronger over the past few years, and they still want to assassinate him? To assassinate him, isn't that just to target Dayan? Do they think Lu Zhenzhi is dead? How dare they attack Dayan? Cede land, pay compensation, or marry into a foreign alliance, none of these can resolve this feud! Lu Zhenzhi thought, snorting coldly.
After receiving the order, Deputy General Xiao shouted, "Master Jiu said that for the head of the Crown Prince of Qi, there will be a reward of ten thousand taels!"
The soldiers were excited, their morale high. The shouting startled Fu Tong'er, who was not far away, and also reminded Zhu Quanran.
"He's coming for you, little girl. That man of yours is really going to kill you."
The light in Fu Tong'er's eyes gradually dimmed: "It's obviously his fault, why!"
Zhu Quanran tightened his grip on Fu Tong'er's waist and cracked the whip. The horse suddenly leaped out and galloped towards the forest...
He said gently, "Don't be afraid. Don't you know him, young lady? His reputation on the battlefield is known throughout the six kingdoms! Cruel, harsh, addicted to killing. His methods are extremely cruel. He has massacred more cities than the strands of your hair."
"I don't believe it. War is always cruel." Fu Tong'er said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the regent prince. He's the great general who protects the country. Everyone knows that."
Zhu Quanran rode his horse up the mountain and said with a smile: "You are indeed young, little girl. He won't tell you about his cruel deeds? That's right, how could he tell you those. That regent prince is a king of hell who kills people without blinking an eye..."
From time to time, the howling of wolves could be heard in the mountains...
"There are wolves. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, you will protect me." Fu Tong'er almost blurted out. After what she had just experienced, she was sure that the Prince of Qi in front of her was capable of protecting her.
Zhu Quanran laughed heartily and continued, "Do you want to know how terrifying your man is on the battlefield? His brutality has spread throughout the six kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Qi, and Wei. Otherwise, the King of Qi would not have sent this prince to assassinate him."
"I don't want to know. On the battlefield, if he doesn't kill others, others will kill him. It's normal."
"Naive." Zhu Quanran commented. The horses had already reached the halfway point of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Lu Zhenzhi and his few dozen men had surrounded the entire mountain. Torches were lit at the foot of the mountain, and the area was brightly lit.
Soon, Zhu Quanran rode his horse and carried Fu Tong'er to a path on the mountainside. He saw vines hanging in front of him. Zhu Quanran rode his horse over, lifted the vines, and saw a stone cave inside, with a stone table and chairs, as well as dry straw.
"It seems that I will have to let the girl down tonight."
Zhu Quanran got off the horse, picked up Fu Tong'er, and led the horse into the cave.
Fu Tong'er followed in and found a place to sit down.
Zhu Quanran settled the horse, took out the tinder, and found some wood at the entrance of the cave. However, due to the cold and wet weather, the wood could not be lit at all.
"You sit for a while, I'll go out and find some dry wood. It's not too far." Zhu Quanran said.
Fu Tong'er shrank and rubbed her hands, looking at the dark environment here, and said: "Then hurry up, it's too dark, I'm afraid there are snakes."
Unbeknownst to her, she had grown somewhat reliant on this prince. Perhaps she believed he could truly protect her. After all, he had repeatedly said he would protect her, and he had indeed done so.
"Don't worry, there won't be any snakes. They'll be hibernating in this cold weather. If you're scared, come with me."
