Lu Baichuan chimed in, "Yes, if you're really worried, you can send them some food every day."
Well, this way, my friend is taken care of, and my son gets trained too.
Dog: ...6.
Seeing Lu Baichuan tricking his son like this, Jiang Jiuniang laughed so hard she almost fell over.
The dog, however, was very good-natured and had already accepted the task of delivering food to Prince Jing every day. He then took his small bow and arrows and went hunting in the mountains.
Jiang Jiuniang glanced at Lu Baichuan beside her: "Aren't you going with us?"
Lu Baichuan hadn't originally planned to, but seeing his wife's warning look, he still said, "It might not be safe at night. I'll go check it out."
Jiang Jiuniang was finally satisfied. She sat down by the fire and took out the wool she had plucked from the governor's mansion to examine it carefully.
This military governor is truly fearless, so blatantly displaying his wealth. He clearly doesn't respect the imperial court at all. Either he has the power to confront the court, or he believes his foreign friends will definitely help him.
It has to be said, it's simply wishful thinking.
Colluding with those outsiders is far more disgusting than the actions of Prince Lin and Prince Xun; they've already begun to act as lackeys for the foreign races.
In that instant, Jiang Jiuniang suddenly realized that they had to handle this matter themselves. If they handed it over to others, what if they colluded and concealed things from each other, and then turned around and blamed them?
However, she didn't plan to tell Lu Baichuan. Anyway, things were still undecided, and it was a situation that was uncertain no matter what. She would wait until the main force arrived before making a decision.
For the next few days, the family of three stayed on the mountain. Lu Baichuan took the dog to practice martial arts and hunt every day, and truly experienced mountain life for a period of time.
Jiang Jiuniang felt pretty good.
Thanks to Gou'er's kind heart, Prince Jing and the others were able to have food every day, either roast chicken or roast rabbit, or other common dishes.
It eats a lot and poops a lot, so smelly that even dogs don't want to go near it.
Fortunately, the people arranged by Consort Zhao arrived a few days in advance. After learning about Prince Jing's situation, they immediately went to find Ji Ziqiu, the prefect of Liangzhou City, and questioned him about why he had not sent anyone to rescue Prince Jing for so long.
Prefect Ji Ziqiu was surprised that these people arrived so quickly, and that he hadn't heard a word of them entering the city. He quickly put on a smiling face to greet them.
Although the other party did not hold any official position, they had a warrant from Consort Zhao. If Consort Zhao herself came, the prefect would still have to receive her respectfully.
"Please come in, gentlemen. It's not that I don't want to send someone to rescue His Highness Prince Jing, but that place is truly treacherous, and I fear that His Highness might be harmed. I dare not act rashly."
Ji Ziqiu answered cautiously, feeling a little flustered. These people had come after visiting Prince Jing. Had Prince Jing complained to them that he hadn't been giving them food lately?
If he tells, wouldn't he be finished?
And what happened in the mountains, could it possibly be kept secret?
No, we can't let Prince Jing come out alive. If Prince Jing lives, they will all die!
"Bullshit! It's just a few rocks, we can just move them, right? How dare you treat Prince Jing like this? I think you have a death wish!"
These people were sent by Consort Zhao. They were very imposing and showed no mercy to the prefect. If Ji Ziqiu hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have gotten a slap in the face.
He said with a bitter face, "Those rocks are placed in a rather strange way. Many of them are just loose spots and are not stable at all. If one of them is moved, the whole thing will be affected, and it could easily injure His Highness Prince Jing!"
Those people weren't buying it: "Then figure out a way!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I will make the arrangements immediately. You gentlemen have come from afar, thank you for your hard work. I will have someone prepare wine and food, and we can start making arrangements to rescue His Highness Prince Jing after we have eaten and drunk our fill, shall we?"
"Let's eat. Send someone to rescue Prince Jing!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this humble official will go immediately..."
Ji Ziqiu agreed to everything and, after calming these people down, sent someone to the military governor's residence, but did not see the military governor himself.
It is said that a few days ago, the governor's house was robbed, and many good things were stolen. None of the many skilled guards in the governor's house noticed. The whole mansion was fast asleep. The governor was so angry that he fell ill and has not been able to get out of bed since. Naturally, he cannot take care of the few people from the capital who are just using his power to bully him.
When the servants returned to report, the prefect had already calmed down and didn't need anyone's advice. He immediately sent people to rescue Prince Jing, and before they left, he specifically instructed them: "Be quick and don't give anything away."
"yes!"
A group of people left the city at top speed, kicking up dust that covered the dog's chubby little face.
"Cough cough cough..."
The little dog looked at his father, puzzled: "Daddy, what are these people doing?"
Lu Baichuan didn't say anything, but stared at the backs of those people for a moment in thought, then picked up the dog and ran out of the city.
The dog hugged Lu Baichuan tightly and said, "But Mommy hasn't bought the crispy buns she wanted yet!"
"It's too late! Your Uncle Prince Jing is in trouble!"
They had just arrived in the city to buy some things to take back to the mountain when they encountered this scene. Lu Baichuan felt very fortunate, as he would have missed it if he had arrived any later.
If I'm not mistaken, these people are going to take Prince Jing's life!
"What should we do then? Should we go back and tell Mother first?"
The dog looked at Lu Baichuan with a face full of anxiety.
Lu Baichuan thought for a moment and then discussed with him, "Go back and tell your mother that I'll go over first."
His wife is still waiting to eat the crispy buns, and he can't keep her waiting forever.
After thinking for a moment, the dog said, "Okay!"
Although he also wanted to go and rescue Uncle Jing, his mother was more important.
The father and son split up and acted quickly.
Prince Jing had been uneasy ever since his mother and her group appeared. Those people were like brainless idiots; they stood by, smelled the stench, and didn't want to go over. They wouldn't listen to him and just said they would go find the prefect to rescue people, and then they disappeared.
Originally, she was waiting patiently for Lu Baichuan to rescue her, but now she's filled with anxiety.
Those fools are just following orders and don't consider his actual situation at all; instead, they will only bring him to ruin.
"What should I do now? I feel cold all over and have no idea what to do."
Wu Jiao trembled all over and unconsciously reached out to grab Prince Jing's hand.
With the dogs feeding them these past few days, their spirits have improved considerably, and they've regained their hope for life. That's precisely why they're so panicked now.
"I don't have any other options. I just hope that Lu Baichuan hears the news and comes to our rescue."
During this time, Ji Ziqiu had been dragging his feet and ignoring them, wanting to create the illusion of natural deaths to deceive the court and give them an explanation. Now that Consort Zhao's people have arrived, they can directly take action to save them. If they are not handled properly, the two of them could be crushed into mincemeat. This is an uncontrollable factor, and it was Consort Zhao's people who asked him to do so, a perfect way to shift the blame.
