Chapter 142 Look what Cheng Cheng brought you!
The tightness on her neck made her feel a little uncomfortable. Jiang Yingcheng shivered slightly, and then she heard someone behind her whisper a warning: "Don't move."
"But, but Chengcheng is almost out of breath," Jiang Yingcheng frowned, trying to reason with the assassin behind him, "If Chengcheng can't breathe, she will die, and then she can't be a hostage."
The person behind her froze for a moment, and the hand on her waist tightened a little, and the hand on her neck finally relaxed a little: "Like this?"
The hand that the man placed on her neck was almost in an empty clenched state, and the arm that was around her waist was placed as close to her soft flesh as possible. His movements were so careful that he didn't even look like a cold-blooded assassin.
Jiang Yingcheng couldn't help but look back at the other person in surprise.
Even though he's an assassin, he's pretty friendly?
"Yeah, yeah," Jiang Yingcheng nodded, feeling a little relieved. "That's much better!"
The interaction between the two was so harmonious that the tense atmosphere among the group of people was strangely paused for a moment.
Jiang Tinghuai opened his mouth several times but couldn't find his own voice.
The kid was so calm that he looked like a useless adult.
"I am the Crown Prince Da Rui," Jiang Tinghuai said loudly, "If you need hostages, I can exchange them with the Emperor's sister."
The assassin was not wearing a veil, and his face, exposed to the air, was filled with obvious disgust.
"Your Highness, you are joking," he chuckled. "Everyone in Da Rui knows that the Crown Prince is proficient in both civil and military strategies. If I take you as a hostage, I am afraid that I will be suppressed by you and the secret guards around me before I even stand in front of Emperor Mingze."
Jiang Tinghuai frowned irritably.
I always feel that there is something weird about this assassin.
"I can do that, too," Jiang Xingran looked straight into the assassin's eyes and suddenly said, "I'm young and don't know martial arts, but I can help you find my father. I can be your hostage."
"I, I can too!"
"I'm smaller, so I can hold the table easier. Let me take over!"
Jiang Qiuyu and Lin Jinshu spoke almost at the same time.
Jiang Yingcheng, who was sitting on the brick wall, was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.
[Wuwuwu, my brother and I, why are you all so nice? Wuwuwu...]
Because the assassin's attitude was relatively mild, she was not overly scared and was even in a mood to let her imagination run wild.
[Chengcheng will no longer secretly take away Qige's homework and go back to make her own notes! ]
She can go and find a few new victims!
Jiang Xingran: “…”
He knew that all the notebooks he lost were the masterpieces of this little guy.
[Don’t secretly put bugs in the pouch of a starling! ]
Jiang Qiuyu gritted his teeth secretly.
The little guy is always cute and adorable on weekdays. He always regards her as a younger sister who needs his protection. Regarding the bug incident, he suspected everyone around him, even his calm and steady seventh brother, but he never associated it with her.
I didn't expect that it was actually her who did it!!
【nor……】
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
Jiang Tinghuai was afraid that she would say something bad again, so he interrupted her and asked, "What do you want?"
This man claimed to be an assassin, but instead of lurking in secret and looking for the right moment to strike, he appeared in front of them so carelessly and kidnapped the only princess among them.
A dark light flashed in Jiang Tinghuai's eyes.
If they really wanted to use this to capture their father, they should have kidnapped a prince...
"What's the hurry?" the assassin asked, "The secret guards should have already gone to inform Emperor Mingze."
He leaned lazily against a dead tree that protruded from the courtyard: "We can talk about it when Emperor Mingze himself arrives."
His goal had been largely achieved by now. The heavy burden that had been weighing on his shoulders for a long time had been lifted, and he felt relaxed and relieved, as if he had seen through the world.
"Uncle, what's your name?" The sudden soft voice from his arms interrupted his thoughts, making him feel as if he was pulled back to reality from the clouds.
He lowered his head in a daze, as if he had not expected this young man to be so bold.
But he answered truthfully: "Zhong Chengwang."
Jiang Yingcheng asked, "Which Zhong, which Cheng, which Wang?"
Zhong Chengwang raised the corners of his lips sarcastically: "Zhong in Zhongding family, Cheng in inheriting father's ambition, and Wang in hoping son will become a dragon."
Each of these three words represents the expectations for him. Perhaps when his father named him, he never thought that he would live such a life.
Jiang Yingcheng nodded and greeted him obediently: "Oh, oh, hello Uncle Zhong~"
"..." Zhong Chengwang came back to his senses and said, "Hello to you too."
Jiang Yingcheng smiled and said, "Brother Tong, Brother Tong, let's get to work!"
The people under the high wall were startled.
Here it comes!
…
Jiang Yanchuan did not call for the chariot. He sat in an ordinary carriage, his eyes moving with fierceness.
"Faster," he urged.
Eunuch Changshun was sitting in the front room of the carriage. Hearing this, he took the whip from the driver and lashed the two horses hard: "Drive!"
The accompanying guards followed closely behind, their orderly footsteps heavy and hurried.
The oppressive atmosphere was weighing on everyone, and no one dared to even breathe.
In my heart, I secretly greeted the entire family of that blind assassin.
You are really good at picking.
I picked the most terrible one right away!
Since Emperor Mingze began to expand his territory, there has been an assassination attempt in the palace every year or so. However, every time before, Emperor Mingze didn't care much about it. He just threw the person into the cell and let him experience torture in turn, and then let it go.
This was the first time that they saw such obvious signs of impending storm on Emperor Mingze's face.
Suddenly, there seemed to be deliberately suppressed conversation coming from the front of the road.
One of the voices was soft and sticky: "Turn left, turn left. Be careful of the tree in front this time!"
The voice of an adult man tried to cover up the embarrassment with impatience: "I know, I know."
The young man's voice rang out immediately, and he seemed to pat someone twice in an accusing manner: "Wow, you are still impatient. You have already been scratched by the dead branches twice, twice!"
"See, isn't this how we escape?"
"Okay, turn right ahead—"
Everyone: “!!!”
Isn't this their kidnapped little princess? !
Why does it seem like the relationship with the robbers is quite harmonious? !
The sound of footsteps climbing walls and flying over eaves came closer and closer, and finally, after passing the last corner, they came into direct contact with them.
“…”
Both parties felt a little awkward.
The carriage stopped a few meters away from them, and slender fingers lifted the curtain, revealing a handsome profile with a gloomy face in the carriage.
Jiang Yanchuan walked out of the carriage slowly, stood in the front room vacated by the coachman and eunuch Changshun, and stared at the two people opposite him for a long time.
Jiang Yingcheng, however, seemed not to notice that the atmosphere was wrong at all. She stretched out a hand from Zhong Chengwang's arms and greeted her handsome father happily.
"Father~" She was extremely happy to see her father so many times in such a short period of time, "Chengcheng is here!"
