Chapter 26 Father and Son Meet
"Then find me a solution."
"I must go and save my mother today, otherwise I will crush every bone in your body bit by bit, leaving you unable to move or die. I will let you experience the feeling of a life worse than death."
Butler Li is about to cry now. He is just a small butler, what can he do?
He looked at Gu Jinxi, thinking of the little guy's temper, and had already imagined the scene of him swinging those guards around when they reached the palace gate.
However, the palace is guarded by countless experts and archers. What use is it even if he is very strong?
Wouldn't you just drag him down with you to die then?
But if he doesn't go now, this little guy will make him live a life worse than death!
Butler Li hesitated between immediate death and a life worse than death.
At this moment, he discovered that Gu Jinxi's cold eyes were becoming tired and confused little by little.
Suddenly, Butler Li breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought, he is just a child after all, so what if he is very capable?
When the time comes, I still feel sleepy and look for my mother.
Butler Li watched Gu Jinxi's eyes slowly close, and quickly put a soft pillow under him the moment he lay down.
After making sure that Gu Jinxi was asleep, he winked at the coachman.
The groom had been with him for many years and naturally understood his thoughts.
He was going to die anyway, so he might as well take a chance.
While the child was asleep, he dragged him out of the city and took the opportunity to deal with him. He would have an explanation when his wife came back.
In this way, you can not only save your life, but also your status.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Gu Jinxi was tired and closed her eyes unconsciously.
The carriage changed direction while he was sleeping and sped away out of the city.
Seeing the carriage successfully leave the city and head in the original direction, Butler Li breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a group of aggressive people suddenly appeared in front.
They rushed along, all armed with swords and looking ferocious.
The coachman was a little afraid of them and quickly moved the carriage to the side of the road.
It was this leaning that caused the speeding carriage to run over a relatively large rock on the side of the road.
In an instant, the carriage jolted violently, lost control, and rushed towards the group of people.
Chen Hechuan was traveling quickly all the way and was already quite wary of the carriage that suddenly appeared.
Because the carriage was running too fast.
The carriages coming out of the city at this time usually carry the wives or daughters of officials.
Either go to the farm to reconcile accounts, or go out of the city for fun.
But the carriages that the women rode in were bound to move slowly.
But now this carriage is running too fast!
Now it was rushing towards them again, which made it hard for him not to suspect that this carriage was an enemy spy trying to stop him and buy time to escape.
So, as soon as the carriage came over, Chen Hechuan tightened the reins, drew out his sword, and stabbed it directly into the horse's belly.
The horse felt pain, but it had no strength left and fell to its knees.
The carriage behind it jolted and fell out.
At the moment the carriage was thrown out, a small object flew out of the carriage.
Chen Hechuan originally thought it was a hidden weapon and just raised his sword, but then he found that it was actually a child. He quickly retracted the sword, took the child and held him in his arms.
But because the distance was too close and the sword was retracted too quickly, the long sword directly scratched Shen Hechuan's arm.
Tianji screamed in surprise when he saw this.
"Master, you are injured!"
Shen Hechuan waved his hand when he heard this.
"It's nothing, just a little scrape."
After saying that, he looked at the child in his arms.
The child looked only four or five years old, with fair skin, delicate features, and a round little face, which was very cute.
However, he looked very weak.
He looked at Chen Hechuan with half-closed eyes.
"Uncle, you are so handsome. My... mother will definitely like you when she sees you."
Chen Hechuan: ...
He curled his lips helplessly and wanted to ask the child a few more questions, but found that the child had tilted his head and was unconscious.
He looked at Tianji.
Tianji immediately understood and turned to look at the earthly branches on the other side.
All of them have undergone rigorous training, and each of them has different strengths, among which military doctors are indispensable.
The Earthly Branches represent the person who is good at both martial arts and medicine.
Therefore, he was highly valued by Shen Hechuan.
But because of his calm temperament, Shen Hechuan usually keeps him in the dark and does not keep him by his side like Tianji does.
After showing the Earthly Branches to Gu Jinxi, he said:
"Your Highness, please rest assured. The child is just a little weak and can't hold on because of his young age. He should be asleep now. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
Chen Hechuan nodded when he heard this, and for some reason, he actually felt relieved.
He couldn't describe the feeling, but from the first moment he saw the child, he felt very close to him.
Tianji also came over at this time.
He took a look and said casually, "Your Highness, this child's nose and mouth look quite similar to yours, especially the nose, it's like they came from the same mold."
After Tianji finished speaking, he met Chen Hechuan's cold eyes and quickly shut up.
Then, he muttered a few words to himself.
"I...I was just saying it casually!"
"Everyone in the world knows that you don't like women. Even if this child looks exactly like you, it can't be your child."
After Tianji finished speaking, he was naturally met with Shen Hechuan's death stare.
But Tianji was already used to it, so he shrank his neck and pretended not to see anything, and hurried to interrogate the coachman and the housekeeper.
Unfortunately, both of them fell off the carriage and were seriously injured. Now they are both unconscious.
In order not to delay the journey, Chen Hechuan left one person to watch over the two while they continued on their journey.
As for the child in his arms.
Shen Hechuan thought about it for a while, and finally held her in his arms.
So, after Shen Hechuan entered the city, all the officials in Tiandu who knew the Crown Prince were horrified to discover that the Crown Prince, who had always abstained from women, was actually holding a child in his arms!
This news spread quickly among the noble families and became a hot topic that day, breaking countless girls' hearts.
But that’s all in the past.
At this time, Chen Hechuan had just entered the city when the news came.
"Your Highness, another team has sent news that the person has been captured."
Shen Hechuan raised his eyebrows.
"one person?"
"Yes, it is indeed a person, and the person has been brought back secretly."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"With such a big scene, there's only one person?"
As he spoke, he looked towards the west of the city.
At this time, Tianji also passed on the latest information he had found.
"Your Highness, we have already found out that the signal flare was released from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
Now, Shen Hechuan was even more surprised.
"Marquis Yong'an?"
"How dare he be so bold as to collude with the enemy country?"
