However, he did not wait for the beauty to enter his arms. She just brushed against his arm and ran behind him. The movement of her arm agitated the wound that had just been pulled out, causing a slight pain, but also brought his thoughts back to reality.
Bu Cong turned back unwillingly, and saw Feng Yuheng's running footsteps stopped in front of a person. The person was dressed in a white robe, with black hair like a waterfall, and a white jade crown to hold his hair together. He was gentle and elegant, and looked like a fairy.
Feng Yuheng cried out in tears, "Seventh Brother!" Then he hugged the man's arm and pointed at him, "Seventh Brother, General Bu has blocked Ah Heng on this horse trail for some reason. He wants to kill Ah Heng!"
He said this loudly, almost everyone around could hear it, Bu Cong was so angry that his face turned pale. He wanted to kill her? Not to mention that it was just a competition at the beginning, even in the end, he didn't hurt her at all, but his arm was lashed with two bloody marks by this girl. He had never been injured on the battlefield, but he didn't expect to be injured by a little girl today. The more Bu Cong thought about it, the more unwilling he became.
This unwillingness was clearly shown on his face. Seeing his changing emotions, Feng Yuheng hid behind the man again and said, "Seventh Brother, look at him, I'm afraid he's still thinking about killing me."
The person who came was the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua. He had seen Bu Cong fighting with Feng Yuheng from a distance. He did not speed up his pace but walked forward slowly because he knew Feng Yuheng would not suffer any loss. But now, Bu Cong still had this cannibalistic expression in front of him, and Xuan Tianhua was not happy - "General Bu, are you waiting for me to take the initiative to salute you?"
The Seventh Prince rarely spoke like this. He always treated people with kindness. Even if someone didn't salute him, he wouldn't say anything. He even rarely called himself the King in front of others. It was always me, me. But later, when he had Feng Yuheng, it wasn't a big deal. When it came to this girl, his smile would be taken back instantly. He turned into the Royal King in a second. When it came to being unreasonable, he was no less unreasonable.
Bu Cong was not stupid. After so many years, how could he not know Xuan Tianhua's temper? Seeing his cold face at this moment, he immediately understood that the Seventh Prince was angry. The Seventh Prince was rarely angry, or even never angry, but everyone knew that not being angry did not mean that he had no temper, but he was just too lazy to care about many things. Once he really got serious, his level of severity was no less than that of the Ninth Prince!
Cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. He quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, saying, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Chun! Long live His Royal Highness!"
Xuan Tianhua looked at him and shook his head, "I don't dare to accept General Bu's call of 'Long Live the King'. Who knows if you will curse me to die tomorrow when I turn around?"
Bu Cong's forehead was covered with sweat. The Seventh Prince spoke like this? This was not the Seventh Prince at all, but the Ninth Demon.
He simply knelt down on his knees, lowered his head, and said without any temper: "I dare not!"
"Don't dare?" Xuan Tianhua looked at him and sneered, "General Bu, what else can you not dare? You have a lot of kung fu and are good at military tactics. Your father gave you the post of Zhennan General and asked you to garrison one area. After returning to the capital, you were allowed to wear weapons and enter and leave the imperial palace. But what about you? You used your good kung fu and the power in your hands to kill my brother and sister-in-law, and you did it on the dismounting road in front of so many palace servants. Who are you doing this for? Where do you put my royal family?"
Bu Cong was shocked: "Your Highness, that's not the case! I was just sparring with Princess Ji'an, I didn't kill her!"
Feng Yuheng looked even more aggrieved: "You are talking nonsense! So many eyes are looking at you, how can you lie? I was walking peacefully with the girl, and you suddenly rushed in front of us from nowhere. I tried to leave several times, but you blocked my way and said that you must make me bleed on the spot today! Seventh brother, Ah Heng was scared to death!"
Xuan Tianhua quickly patted the girl's shoulder and said with a look of pity: "Don't be afraid, with Brother Seven here, no one can hurt you."
Bu Cong was dumbfounded at this moment. When did he say that he wanted her to bleed to death? Why was this girl lying with her eyes wide open? However... he did suddenly rush in front of her, and he did block her way when Feng Yuheng was about to leave. In general, he was wrong in this matter.
At this time, Xuan Tianhua had already called the imperial guards stationed on both sides of the horse road to the front two teams, a total of eighteen people. Then he asked loudly: "Tell me, what happened when General Bu met the Princess of Ji'an?"
Someone immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we all saw it. At that time, Princess Ji'an and her maid were talking and walking towards the palace gate. General Bu had just entered the palace and was originally at the other end of the dismounting path, not even getting off his horse. But when he saw the princess, General Bu suddenly used his Qinggong to fly up and rushed directly in the direction of the princess. We were all shocked and were about to step forward to protect the princess. Fortunately, the princess discovered it in time and escaped. Then the two had a conversation. I couldn't hear what they said specifically, but I could tell that General Bu had been pressing her and shouted that he wanted to compete with the princess. The princess refused and wanted to leave with the maid, but General Bu blocked the princess's way. It seems, it seems..."
"What do you mean?" Xuan Tianhua frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it. I will make the decision with you."
The man immediately replied, "It looks like General Bu is going to attack the county lady. During the fight between the two, General Bu was extremely ruthless. If it weren't for the county lady's good kung fu, I'm afraid she would have been killed by now!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Bu Cong yelled, and stood up subconsciously. He pulled out the face pendant from his waist and rushed towards the general of the Imperial Guards to chop him.
"Ah!" The general screamed, but he couldn't escape.
Just as Bu Cong's sword was about to chop off the man's head, he suddenly saw a white shadow flash before his eyes. With a slight shake, his wrist became numb and he could no longer hold the sword, which fell to the ground with a clang.
Bu Cong looked at the white shadow in horror, and saw that the thing turned a circle in front of him and returned to Xuan Tianhua's hand. It turned out to be the white jade ring that Xuan Tianhua was wearing on the thumb of his left hand.
"Your Highness!" Bu Cong said unwillingly, "This servant is talking nonsense! Look, I am the one with wounds and blood, but Princess Ji'an is fine!"
Xuan Tianhua didn't say anything, but the general was also angry, and shouted: "General Bu! Although you are stationed in a high position and have great power, you can't just lie with your eyes open! You were injured because your kung fu is not as good as that of the Ji'an County Lady, but it can't erase the fact that you killed a little girl! We have so many eyes watching! Brothers, don't you agree?"
Led by him, the imperial guards behind him answered in unison: "General Bu brutally killed the Princess Ji'an. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Bu Cong's face turned blue with anger. He was just a soldier, and a soldier leader, but why did he feel like he was about to become a scholar at this moment? He had no way to explain his reason, and he had no place to complain. All the mistakes were put on his head. Who should he complain to?
Looking at Feng Yuheng again, there was no trace of grievance on her face. She was looking at him with her chin raised in amusement. Bu Cong felt that this girl was just playing with a monkey, and he was the monkey.
He gave up.
With a thud, Bu Cong knelt back on the ground and said to Xuan Tianhua, "No matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Xuan Tianhua ignored him and just asked Xiang Fengyuheng: "Are you injured?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I wasn't hurt, I was just scared by General Bu."
Xuan Tianhua smiled faintly, "It's a blessing that you weren't injured. As for being surprised, I think General Bu should know how to calm the county lady down, right?"
Bu Cong immediately remembered what he had heard recently. On the wedding day of Left Prime Minister Feng Jinyuan, Feng Yuheng whipped Princess Qianzhou and later said that she was angry. Then the Ninth Prince personally came to her house to ask for compensation of 5 million taels of gold. Now the Seventh Prince asked him this, could it be that he wanted money?
He looked up in a daze, "I don't have that much gold." He really didn't have it. How could the Bu family compare with a foreign country? Not to mention gold, they couldn't even get together five million taels of silver.
Xuan Tianhua thought for a moment and said, "Then let's use something else as collateral. I heard that the Bu family has several farms outside the capital. I will send someone to negotiate a price for them. Just prepare the land deeds. You are a minister of the Dashun court, so I won't make it difficult for you. Just get something close enough. You don't have to collect the full five million taels of gold."
Bu Cong was very worried. The manor belonged to the Bu family, not just him. But what if they didn't give it to him?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xuan Tianhua seemed to understand it and took the initiative to say, "If you don't give it to me, I don't mind going to my father to accuse you of the serious crime of murdering the Princess of Ji'an County. As for your soldiers in the East Camp, I can also take care of them and take over personally. Bu Cong, I just don't want to lead the troops, but it doesn't mean that I can't lead the troops. There are some things that I don't want to do, but it doesn't mean that I can't do them. You kneel here today and think about it carefully. Don't get up before dark." Then he said to the general of the Imperial Guard, "Confiscate General Bu's sword, and from now on, remove his right to wear weapons in the palace. If the emperor asks, just say it was my intention."
"Yes!" Without saying a word, the general picked up the general's sword and put it aside, then directed his men to return to their posts.
Xuan Tianhua didn't look at Bu Cong again, but turned around and said to Feng Yuheng: "Be more careful in the future, danger is everywhere, even in the palace it is not absolutely safe, do you understand?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "I understand, thank you, Seventh Brother."
Xuan Tianhua instantly smiled again, stretching out his hand to help her smooth a strand of hair, and then said, "Ming'er has gone to the camp to prepare for steelmaking. I guess you will also be there soon. In short, you must be more careful and never take it lightly no matter where you are."
"Okay." She thought for a moment, took a step forward, and lowered her voice, "I just came out of Qing'an Palace. Concubine An raised a kind of bird that can drop things from high altitudes. She was involved in the last poisoning of the camp, and the person behind it should be the Third Prince."
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "I understand. I will find a chance to go to the camp and discuss this with Ming'er in the next two days. You should go home soon."
Feng Yuheng said goodbye to him with a smile, and hurriedly walked out of the palace with Huang Quan.
Watching the petite figure gradually walk away, Bu Cong, who was kneeling behind him, suddenly said, "Your Highness, don't you think the second young lady of the Feng family is a little strange?"
