Chapter 459 I Can't Stand It Anymore

Luo Jingfeng reached out and wiped the blood off the boy's neck, and comforted him in a deep voice: "He used his life to protect you. Uncle will bury him with honor and take good care of his family."

Zong Jincheng's ears were ringing.

The previous moment, he didn't understand what life and death were, but the next moment, someone gave his life for him.

He was protected with his life.

Luo Jingfeng said softly, "When I almost strangled you to death in the restaurant, I didn't really want to kill you. I just noticed the presence of the secret guards and suspected that your identity was related to the prince, so I wanted to force the secret guards to show up. But the order he received should be: not to show up until the last moment."

"Secret guard..." Zong Jincheng said with a trembling voice, "He is my secret guard... I don't know, I never knew he existed, he has been by my side for a long, long time..."

Xu Wan also came to his side, squatted down and whispered: "His name is Shadow, he used to be your father's secret guard, and he came to your side three years ago."

What happened just now happened too fast.

The battle between the masters was over in a moment.

By the time Xu Wan ran over from the carriage, Luo Jingfeng had already announced Shadow's death.

“Shadow…” Zong Jincheng finally couldn’t control himself anymore and tears burst out madly.

He didn't cry often, and never had he cried so painfully.

Xu Wan held him weakly, silently accompanying this child who was about to grow up.

"The City Patrol is here, everyone stand still."

Zong Zhao appeared with them. When he looked up, he saw Shadow's body and the blood on Zong Jincheng's body.

The angry gaze fell directly on Luo Jingfeng.

He is the only one who can mobilize the City Patrol Officer, so they can't come together. Luo Jingfeng assured him solemnly that there would be absolutely no problem, but this is called no problem?

The commander of the city patrol sent people to check all the assassins who ambushed them, but they could not find any token characteristics until they saw the commander of the dark guards who was suppressed by Bu Yan.

Others may not have seen this person, but he recognizes him.

The commander of the city patrol frowned and reported truthfully: "General, this is someone close to the emperor."

Zong Zhao held the token of the City Patrol. Even if they were dissatisfied with Zong Zhao before, they would obey his orders now. However, it was not only because of the token, but also because they knew that Zong Zhao was on the side of the prince.

Token plus prince.

They will obey Zong Zhao's orders unconditionally.

Zong Zhao gave the order in a cold voice: "The leader of the secret guards is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Secretly kill me and the Protector of the Country. Take him away and wait for his punishment."

"yes."

The leader of the secret guards yelled, "Zong Zhao, you slandered me for collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country. Who is the one who has the intention of betraying me? You and Luo Jingfeng are in collusion and plotting against our Great Chu...ah!"

The Dark Lord's tongue was cut out.

It was Luo Jingfeng's subordinates who did it.

"No one dares to disrespect the Duke of Protectorate." General Xiaofeng rushed to the front line fiercely and threw away the dagger in his hand with disgust.

This person is so cruel.

As expected, he is worthy of being Luo Jingfeng's right-hand man.

But General Zong did not say anything, and the commander of the city patrol did not dare to say much. He just took the dumb commander of the secret guards away and said, "I will take the people to wait outside the alley first. The general will call us if there is anything."

Zong Zhao replied: "Go ahead."

Luo Jingfeng was in no mood to care about these things.

His heart and eyes are now filled with his eldest nephew. If Shadow had not protected him with his life, he would have almost lost Cheng'er.

The thought of this possibility made Luo Jingfeng go crazy.

I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t stand it at all!

He said in a cold voice: "Reorganize the troops! I want him to know what will happen to those who dare to touch me!"

General Xiaofeng responded excitedly, "Yes! I'll go right away!"

The scene is a bit chaotic.

Because in the chaos, Luo Jingfeng and Zong Jincheng's nephew cried out that they were exposed, and all the Zong family guards present heard it.

But obviously, Luo Jingfeng didn't plan to hide anymore.

What adoptive father and adopted son, what Luo family main family.

He wanted to make sure that his Cheng'er would never be threatened with her life again!

Zong Zhao reminded: "I will escort them back home first."

Luo Jingfeng raised his eyes and realized that Zong Zhao had the same idea as him. He sneered and said, "You can't help it either?"

Zong Zhao said, "There is no need to endure. The emperor already knows Jin Cheng's identity, so even if today's operation fails, he will not give Jin Cheng a good ranking in tomorrow's palace examination as we wish."

There is no need to wait any longer.

Their original goal was to have Kam Cheng get top marks in the exam so that he could succeed the throne gloriously as a man of virtue. Although the plan was forced to be interrupted after the examination, the outcome was not worse than expected.

Jincheng, who ranked second in the imperial examination, is still the smartest little prince.

Xu Wan had already wiped the blood off Zong Jincheng's body.

But Jincheng's condition was not very good. He was still holding Shadow's hand and his body was shaking.

Zong Zhao whispered, "Get on the carriage, I'll take you back home."

Xu Wan also helped to support Zong Jincheng.

The young boy raised his head with red eyes and asked tearfully, "Dad, what did I do wrong? Why did they want to kill me? I just wanted to study hard, be a good official, do good things for the people, and be a good child to you and mother. What did I do wrong?"

Xu Wan felt a pain in her heart.

She knew Jincheng did nothing wrong.

Even the dandy boy three years ago was just a little naughty, but his crime was not punishable by death.

What people envied about him was always his identity, the blood flowing in his veins, and the power behind him.

But this was exactly what he couldn't control.

Zong Zhao didn't know how to comfort him, so he just reached out and stroked his eyebrows, and promised earnestly: "From now on, no one can hurt you anymore."

Zong Jincheng's tears fell again.

He cried uncontrollably, so Zong Zhao carried the half-grown boy into the carriage and escorted Xu Wan and her son to the mansion.

The entire general's mansion was tightly surrounded.

Not only are there soldiers from the City Patrol, but there are also guards from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, who protect this place perfectly.

Imperial Palace, Yu's study.

It was already completely dark outside, and it looked like it would rain heavily soon. The emperor was becoming more and more anxious.

He waited for half a month but Zong Jincheng didn't come out.

I finally managed to send someone to trick him out today, but I don't know if I can kill that evil creature.

If he is killed, the crisis will be resolved.

Without this legitimate heir, the Luo family would be unable to rebel again. The criticism of changing dynasties would be hundreds of times louder than usurping the throne. Even if the Luo family succeeded, they would not be able to maintain their rule.

What's more, he also has the City Patrol Office under the Prince's command.

The prince is now in a coma, and the city patrol department cannot be mobilized. They can only obey the orders of the emperor. Although these tens of thousands of troops are no match for Luo Jingfeng's army, they are the strongest in this imperial city.

The emperor felt a little relieved when he thought about this.

He kept praying in his heart: I must succeed, I must succeed...

"Bang——"

With a loud bang, the door of Yu's study was kicked open.
