1031 Retribution, give someone a taste of their own medicine
Ta-da-da...
On the official road, two men in ordinary clothes were riding their horses forward, their horses' hooves flying and splashing up a cloud of dust. Occasionally, passers-by were bitten by the dust, but they didn't dare to stop them. |
Those who were less courageous quickly moved away. After all, those who could afford to buy a horse these days were either rich or noble. Those who were brave enough only dared to curse after the horse left.
When you look closer, you will find that these two men in ordinary clothes, who are on their way early in the morning, are the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, whom Taicheng and the Lu family have been looking for.
In fact, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had just passed by the Taicheng army. At that time, the army was busy heading to the dense forest to look for the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince, and did not pay any attention to these two people. After all, no one would know that these two ordinary-dressed, dusty travelers were the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen who had turned Taicheng upside down.
Let alone the reinforcements, even if Tai Shao met these two people, he would not recognize them if he did not look carefully. After all, in his understanding, Feng Qingchen had been locked up in the secret cave for two days, without food or water, and was injured. Even if he was not dead, he was only half alive. How could he travel on horseback? But...
The more impossible something is, the more likely it is to happen.
Tai Shao and the Lu family's troops were impatient and rushed into the dense forest at dawn to kill the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, but they didn't know that the two of them had already escaped from Taicheng's sphere of influence.
When the Ninth Prince saw an open space ahead, he gestured to Feng Qingchen, signaling her to stop and rest for a while.
Feng Qingchen was not a pampered person. She was injured anyway. After running for an hour, she was already very exhausted. When she got off the horse, her steps were unsteady. If the Ninth Prince hadn't come forward to hug her, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Why are you so weak?" The Ninth Prince frowned, and then frowned again...
Feng Qingchen leaned against the Ninth Uncle and panted slightly, "Try to stay tense for two days without eating or drinking."
Although she had rested for a night, Feng Qingchen had lost too much blood and was injured. She was not pretending, she really could not hold on any longer.
"What's going on?" The Ninth Prince's tone suddenly became extremely cold.
He thought Tai Cheng just refused to treat Feng Qingchen's wounds, but he didn't expect that he also refused to let her eat and drink. Did Tai Cheng treat Feng Qingchen as a hostage or a prisoner?
Sensing the killing intention of the Ninth Imperial Uncle, Feng Qingchen was unwilling to say more. She smiled at the Ninth Imperial Uncle and said, "I'm just scaring you. If I really hadn't eaten for two days, would I still be standing here? The people of Taicheng didn't abuse me, they just ignored me. Look, I'm fine now. As for Taicheng? I will settle this account with them sooner or later."
After coming out of Taicheng, the Ninth Prince led the Black Cavalry into the dense forest and was very busy discussing and arranging the next things with the eight generals. When he was free, it was already dawn. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was in a bad state but in good spirits, he did not ask Feng Qingchen in detail about what happened in Taicheng.
Afterwards, Feng Qingchen did not say anything. It was important for them to hurry on their journey. Even though they knew that Feng Qingchen had suffered a great deal in Taicheng, there was no reason for them to go back to kill him.
As for now?
Feng Qingchen felt that if she told the truth, it would only anger the Ninth Prince. Why bother? After all, the debt will not be forgiven as long as the person is alive. She was not a weak and kind-hearted delicate flower. Although she had never met City Lord Tai, it did not stop her from settling the score with City Lord Tai.
The Ninth Prince knew that Feng Qingchen was not telling the truth, and seeing that Feng Qingchen did not want to say more, he did not ask any more questions. However, he just refused to let Feng Qingchen ride the horse alone, and insisted on holding Feng Qingchen in his arms, riding together. Although this was a little slower, it was good for Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen did not refuse. Her nerves were tense in the secret cave, and she was really tired after running for a distance. Not long after she got on the horse, she fell asleep in the arms of the Ninth Prince.
Seeing how exhausted Feng Qingchen was, the Ninth Prince's eyes flashed with pity. He hugged her tighter and slowed down his pace. This was nothing, but the Ninth Prince forgot that their attire at this time...
Two men, hugging each other in broad daylight, their behavior, their eyes, wow, it was impossible not to think of something wrong, and the first one to think of something wrong was Zuo An!
Gay sex and the like are the most... loving!
When the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen quietly rushed back to Shandong, the Lu family and Taicheng's troops also entered the dense forest one after another. The Ninth Prince chose the dense forest for a reason. The dense forest had lush trees and thick rotten leaves on the ground. Not only would it be silent to step on it, but it would also be easy to clean up the traces.
Not long after the Lu family and Taicheng's people entered the dense forest, they found themselves lost. The two sides collided with each other. Before they could fight each other, a black fog suddenly surged in the forest. At this time, even the dumbest person would understand.
They fell into the trap!
But it was too late to realize it. A group of killers suddenly emerged from the black fog. These people were like ghosts. They swung their swords and chopped anyone they saw without distinguishing between friend and foe. Soon, both the Lu family and the people of Taicheng were caught up in the melee.
"If you dare to hurt me, kill me!"
"Don't linger in the battle, charge out, charge out first."
"Wang Er, you hit the wrong person. I'm Er Gouzi. Behind you, quick, quick, behind you..."
"General, it's my subordinate, it's my subordinate."
"Protect the general, protect the general quickly."
"Why is it you? I killed the wrong person..."
…
The black fog blocked the light, and the people in the dense forest didn't know whether they were friends or enemies. In this situation, it was normal to kill by mistake. The black riders who caused this incident seemed to have anticipated it. In addition to rushing out to kill a few people and create chaos, they took advantage of the chaos to run out of the battle circle and left quietly, leaving Taicheng and the Lu family to fight each other...
If they want to ambush the Ninth Prince, both the Lu Family and Taicheng are still a little short of that. The Ninth Prince does not have many troops in Shandong, so how can they confront them head-on?
No matter whether it is a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, as long as it can succeed, it is a good strategy.
In the dense forest, the people of Taicheng and the people of the Lu family fought fiercely. Although the people of Taicheng later realized that they had chosen the wrong target, they became even more ruthless and brutal once they found out that the other party was a member of the Lu family.
In comparison, the people of Taicheng hated the Lu family more. The Lu family was in danger, and they had to kill all of them to vent their hatred.
The master of the Lu family cabin could never have imagined that he pushed Tai Cheng out to vent his hatred for the Ninth Prince, and then the Ninth Prince threw the Lu family to Tai Cheng to vent his hatred. This revenge was so quick that it made people feel cold...
The Ninth Prince slowed down with Feng Qingchen for a while but then sped up again. The current situation did not allow them to stay outside for long. There were only three of them now, and if they faced an army, they would be in big trouble.
The two of them hurried all the way and finally arrived in Shandong before dark. When the people guarding the city saw the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen dressed like this, their eyes widened. They never thought that the noble and majestic Ninth Prince would be in such an embarrassing state. When Third Master Lu learned that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen dressed up and returned to the city safely without anyone's protection, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
How could he miss such a good opportunity?
