Chapter 185 Tian Heng’s scalp tightened once, Tian Heng’s scalp tightened twice, Tian Heng’s scalp tightened three times!
Tian Heng handed two silver ingots to the guard at the palace gate and successfully escaped from the palace.
Liaochen and his three companions took the token that Eunuch Changshun had secretly given them and walked out directly.
As soon as they left the palace, the four of them split into two groups.
Le Chen and Zhong Chengwang headed in the direction the eunuch left, while Wu Leyong and Yu Xingmian ran directly towards the direction of Prince Jing's palace.
Tian Heng was very cautious along the way.
King Jing's residence was a long distance away from the imperial palace. In order to avoid being seen, he sneaked through the alleys.
The further he walked, the faster his heart beat and the bigger his steps became.
He asked the eunuch who was on vacation to take his place, on the pretext of unbearable abdominal pain. There was the risk of being discovered at any time, so he had to hurry back as soon as possible. However, he did not dare to ignore King Jing's order, so he had to run for his life.
Suddenly——
A long sword stretched out from behind him and was firmly placed on his neck.
A gruff voice followed: "Don't move!"
"This, this strong man," Tian Heng's teeth chattered as cold sweat dripped down his forehead and into his collar, "The money is in the purse around my waist. If you, if you don't mind, just take it!"
"Why bother talking to him?"
Another voice sounded behind him, and this time, Tian Heng's whole body began to tremble.
This person...
Before I spoke, I couldn't make any sound at all!
"Tie him up quickly, we have to go back and report!" After the man said that, he stuffed a whole piece of cotton cloth into his mouth, blocking his mouth tightly.
The person behind him pulled out a long rope from somewhere and tied his hands behind his back.
Tian Heng felt like the sky was falling, and he was thinking rapidly in his mind, why did these people attack him?
"Alright," the people behind him clapped their hands, "We've caught Qiao Ding, we can take him back and exchange him for a reward from the patron!"
Tian Heng: “…”
Tian Heng: “????”
After a pause in his struggling, Tian Heng raised his head in disbelief, with big doubts in his small eyes.
who?
Who the hell is this Qiao Ding? !
His eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't stop sobbing.
Wrong guy!
You caught the wrong guy!!
"What are you arguing about?" Le Chen patted Tian Heng on the head and said angrily, "Behave yourself, or you'll suffer the consequences!"
…
Wu Leyong and Yu Xingmian climbed into Prince Jing's palace without disturbing anyone along the way.
The two of them lay on the tiles of the roof, using their extremely strong eyesight to depict the face of the person opposite them.
Wu Leyong was concentrating on memorizing the man's physical features, while Yu Xingmian was introducing the man's life story in a very low voice.
"...Bianzhou's mother was saved by King Jing, so he is particularly loyal to King Jing..."
"But this man has one big hobby - gambling."
"and……"
When the two men finished their investigation and escaped from Prince Jing's mansion, Yu Xingmian was still talking incessantly to Wu Leyong about his powerful intelligence network.
Wu Leyong: “…”
What does that person look like?
Suddenly, too much knowledge has entered my mind, and the old knowledge needs to make room for the new...
…
In the vacant courtyard on Yanyu South Street.
Tian Heng, who had finally hooked the cotton cloth out of his mouth with the help of a wooden stick beside him, finally shouted out his own name in a heart-wrenching voice, and was so excited that he almost burst into tears on the spot.
"Ah... you... hi..." Lechen shook his head awkwardly, and the evil man complained first, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"
Tian Heng: “…”
Do you want to see how thick the cotton cloth that was just hooked to the ground is? !
"How about this... we've come to this point, why don't you just admit that you are Qiao Ding," Le Chen tried to negotiate, "After you leave with them, we two brothers will rescue you."
Tian Heng: “…”
Seeing that Tian Heng was unmoved, he even gritted his teeth and made a plan that he thought was very tempting: "I can give you half of the bounty!"
Tian Heng: Thank you, he has already lost half his life!!
In the end, the two decided to "let Tian Heng go", and the reason was very sufficient -
Firstly, the person who came to pick them up might recognize Qiao Ding’s face; secondly, both of them had been wearing face scarves the whole time, so their “real appearance” had never been exposed.
Tian Heng didn't have time to think about it and fled from the courtyard with gratitude.
A lot of time has been wasted. If he doesn't complete the task quickly and return to the palace, his life will be in danger!
Fortunately, he ran into a figure who happened to walk out of a casino halfway.
Tian Heng was so excited that he could hardly speak. He ran behind the man and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder.
"Ah, ah, ah... it hurts, it hurts..." Tian Heng, whose arms were handcuffed twice in one day, wanted to cry, "Master Bian, I am following the order of King Jing to leave the palace to look for you!"
His voice was low, but close enough for Bianzhou behind him to hear clearly.
Bianzhou paused, then with a suspicious look in his eyes dragged him into the alley behind him, and asked cautiously, "Secret code?"
Tian Heng rubbed his twisted shoulder and gasped, "Three ounces and four cents for pork belly."
"Where's the keepsake?"
Tian Heng shook his hands again and took out a jade pendant from the secret pocket on his front: "Here it is."
"Bianzhou" took the jade pendant, held it in his hand and examined it carefully: "What news did His Highness ask you to pass on?"
"His Highness said that the brothers who are rushing to Mengzhou should send people to intercept them quickly. The palace has sent people to wait in Mengzhou. In the meantime, they should hide and not act without authorization."
"Bianzhou" nodded: "Yes——"
Before he could finish his words, a man with a stick suddenly rushed in from the alley: "What a shame! I've been looking for you for so long, and you found yourself hiding here!"
The man turned around and shouted, "Brothers, we found the person!"
"Bianzhou"'s whole body froze. The next moment, his toes touched the wall, and he turned around and disappeared.
"Chase!!"
Tian Heng: “???”
The jade pendant hasn’t been returned to him yet? ! ! !
What made it even harder for him to accept was that a thug stopped in his tracks when passing by him and asked, "Are you in cahoots with him?"
Tian Heng's scalp tightened, he turned around and ran!
Today must be his Good Friday!
It must be!!
…
When Tian Heng returned to the palace, the lunch had not yet ended.
In the Yunxi Palace, His Royal Highness Prince Jing was surrounded by a group of little princes. He could only hear their voices but could not see them. He circled around the figures for a long time but could not find a gap to meet the eyes of Prince Jing inside.
In the blur, one could still hear the most favored little princess in the palace whispering something to the people around her.
Tian Heng couldn't help but move closer.
"Surround him a little closer! Surround him a little closer!" the soft and tender little voice said slyly, "Be careful not to let Uncle Jingwang run away!!"
Tian Heng: “…”
Your Highness, you may not know that although His Royal Highness Prince Jing's kung fu is not as good as the guard beside you, he is enough to hear what you said clearly!
Jiang Yian: “…”
