Chapter 71 The little devil has more tricks
The sword in the prince's hand shook slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his cold white forehead. The sword was shaking more and more heavily, so heavy that his arm could hardly lift it.
His lips turned blue and his face became paler, but he still forced himself to scold, "General Luo, do you want to take my life?"
The young man in front of him was none other than the chief military officer of the dynasty, the General of Pingxi, Luo Jingfeng; his elder brother, Luo Jingyun, was the King of Zhennan, commanding an army.
These two brothers hold military power, and even the emperor would be wary of them, not to mention taking a sickly prince seriously.
Luo Jingfeng sneered, "How dare I? I just want to see if the Crown Prince, who was once known as the best master in the capital together with Zong Zhao, still has the courage to take up the sword again after eight years of being bedridden... and whether he can kill again."
After saying this, he looked at the prince and said mockingly, "It seems that you are not doing well. Your hands are shaking all the time."
The prince glanced at him and warned him, "You are committing treason, which is equivalent to treason. Even if I kill you today, it will be fine."
"Then you try it. I'm waiting to see Your Highness make a fool of himself." Luo Jingfeng didn't believe that he still had the ability to take action.
Otherwise, wouldn’t all those medicines have been given in vain?
"You!" The prince's blood boiled, his pale face turned red with anger, and he couldn't help coughing several times.
The tip of the sword began to tremble, and the prince was almost unable to hold on.
At this moment, a small arm reached out, held the prince's hand and pushed it forward. There was a "puff" sound.
The tip of the sword pierced Luo Jingfeng's chest.
The two looked over at the same time and saw Zong Jincheng still pushing people. He asked innocently, "Have I helped His Highness?"
“…”
Luo Jingfeng spat out a mouthful of blood.
The wound was not deep; he was just angry.
This kid, how dare... how dare he attack him? !
Even the prince, who was a little dazed, gradually came back to his senses. He pulled out the tip of the sword and let Luo Jingfeng hold the arrow in one hand. He fell to the ground with blood dripping from his chest.
Zong Jincheng actually didn't understand what they were talking about. He just felt that General Luo was bullying the prince. The prince was such a good person, he couldn't be wrong.
So, no matter who it is, just stab him first!
Even if I don’t make steamed buns, I have to save face for the prince!
After all, he is the prince's favorite child!
"Heh, heh." Luo Jingfeng wiped the blood off his chest and stared at the prince, "Your Highness is still as lucky as ever. You have the Crown Princess to protect you in the East Palace, and you can still be protected by a child in the hunting grounds. You are really the best of luck."
Zong Jincheng bravely stood in front of the prince and said firmly: "The people from the Eastern Palace will be here soon. If you dare to hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, your head will fall to the ground!"
Luo Jingfeng sneered, "You naive child, ask the Crown Prince next to you, would he dare to say such a thing? Not to mention if someone from the East Palace came, even if the Emperor himself came, would he dare to touch me?"
Zong Jincheng's head was buzzing.
Isn’t it said that the highest official is the emperor, followed by the prince?
How come this person in front of me is more confident than the emperor?
His worldview is about to be overturned.
Zong Jincheng wanted to say something, but the prince held him back and made him shake his head, which was tantamount to tacitly agreeing with what the other party said.
Luo Jingfeng picked up the bow and arrow on the ground and left. Not long after, people from the East Palace arrived.
The prince told the little devil, "What happened today should be kept as a little secret between us. Don't tell anyone. Go back and have a good sleep, and forget everything, okay?"
Zong Jincheng nodded.
But he thought to himself that it was difficult to forget because of the trouble of having too good a memory.
However, after this incident, Zong Jincheng's relationship with the prince became better. The little devil came out skipping and jumping with the red-haired fox in his hand. He also held an extremely beautiful jade pendant in his hand. He looked at it as he walked, and he was very happy.
"Jincheng, what is this?" Xu Wan asked.
This jade pendant is obviously worth a lot of money, and is definitely not cheaper than the one that the little devil originally had, which cost several thousand taels.
Zong Jincheng boasted proudly: "This was given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After saying this, his eyes rolled and he added, "His Highness said that with this jade pendant, no one dares to hurt me!" He deliberately emphasized the word "anyone".
Xu Wan: “…”
Damn it, I stop!
What the hell is the difference between this and the free gold medal!
She even suspected that if she beat the little devil again, the prince would send people to raid her mansion!
Xu Wan's mood was so low that she was about to explode. This was simply the biggest obstacle she encountered in her career of training the little devil.
Unexpectedly, she had not been worrying for more than a minute when the maid beside the Crown Princess came over and whispered a few words in her ear.
The little devil looked at Xu Wan's face, which was like the sky in June, and changed instantly.
He immediately stuffed the red-haired little fox into his brother's arms and ran away without stopping!
Zong Wenxiu: "??? What happened to my brother?"
Xu Wan gritted her teeth and said, "He was caught lying, so he ran away because he was afraid of being beaten!"
The Crown Princess told her that the jade pendant was only used to protect Jincheng from the outside and would not interfere with how she educates her children.
This little bastard!
He actually dared to play word games with her!
It seems that knowledge not only fills his illiterate brain, but also makes him more cunning!
Xu Wan treated the handkerchief in her hand as a little devil, pinching it fiercely, pinching it again and again...
Zong Jincheng didn't run far, and Zong Wenxiu followed him. The two brothers met Wei Xinglu who was complaining to He Zheng, and listed all of Zong Jincheng's evil deeds one by one.
The little devil immediately got angry and shouted, "Wei Xinglu, are you trying to sow discord between me and He Zheng?!"
The four little dandies grew up together, as close as if they wore the same pants, and have never been apart.
When Wei Xinglu saw that he was caught, he was shocked for a second and then said toughly: "It was your fault in the first place. You took back the precious horse that was given to us and helped your half-brother to quarrel with me. I won't care about these. But Zhai Yao has been playing with us for so many years, and you still made him suffer in the slums for a month, and he is still lying in bed. I heard that the prince also punished him to copy the Analects 100 times. The Analects, that is the Analects, more than 10,000 words, he won't be able to finish it even if he copies it until next year!"
Wei Xinglu became more and more angry as he spoke. He always felt that one of his good brothers had stabbed another good brother in the back, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Zong Jincheng howled, "Zhai Yao called others bastards and even kicked and beat an innocent old man who was taking care of him. Do you think he is not wrong?"
Wei Xinglu said as a matter of course: "But he has always been like this. Aren't you the one who has changed?"
"...I#?＃%..." Zong Jincheng was so angry that he could not speak coherently.
He even began to think that Xu Wan really had a good temper. When she heard those playboy remarks of his in the past, she was not only not angry but also laughed, and teased him while laughing.
If it were Zong Jincheng who was in charge of disciplining Zhai Yao and Wei Xinglu, he would definitely pick up a big iron pot and smash them until they cried for their parents!
