Chapter 120
Seeing Chu Xiuming's calm expression, the Prince of England couldn't continue his proposal, which he thought was foolproof. Chu Xiuming's hands were very beautiful, not like those of a general, but more like those of a civil official. However, it was only the back of his hand. He picked up the teapot and filled the cup beside the Prince of England to eight-tenths, and poured himself another cup. Then he put down the teapot and drank slowly from the cup. "If the King of England was really sincere, he wouldn't have so many masters around him."
The Prince of England only brought a few people with him, but each of them was a master. After all, Chu Xiuming himself knew martial arts, and although the Prince of England was good at riding and shooting, that was when he was young and in good health. Now he was afraid that he would be captured by Chu Xiuming in one encounter, so he naturally had to be cautious. Chu Xiuming would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. The Prince of England not only brought masters to protect himself, but also enough to protect him to exit the yard and meet up with the people outside.
Moreover, according to the investigation of the Prince of England, Kuncheng belongs to Emperor Cheng. Neither Chu Xiuming nor the Prince of England would start a war in such a place. After all, Emperor Cheng has always been wary of Chu Xiuming, but he has never had an excuse. If there is evidence that Chu Xiuming has been in contact with the Prince of England, Chu Xiuming will probably not have an easy time.
In addition, the Prince of England also locked Chu Xiu Yao up in another place. If there was anything wrong, Chu Xiu Yao's life would be in danger. If the child had not been rescued in advance, the Prince of England would have been more confident.
The Prince of England asked, "What does the Marquis of Yongning think?"
Chu Xiuming put down the teacup, gently wiped his fingers along the rim of the cup, and said, "The King of England is very confident."
"Because Marquis Yongning doesn't want to risk the wrath of the world." The Prince of England said in a deep voice, "If he marries my daughter, the offspring he gives birth to will also have royal blood." In the eyes of the Prince of England, Chu Xiuming had been tolerant of Emperor Cheng's many small actions, precisely because he was not justified and could not stand firm in the face of justice. Rebellion and mutiny require sufficient reasons. When Tai and Zu rebelled, it was because the previous emperors had made the people live in misery and they followed the will of the people.
Chu Xiuming's expression remained unchanged as he said, "My wife's surname is also Shen."
"But what help can King Rui give you?" asked the Prince of England.
Chu Xiuming was silent, and the Prince of Ying continued, "The King of Rui and his wife are missing, but you want to send your wife to the capital as a hostage. This is such an insult..."
The Prince of Ying did not finish some of his words, but his meaning was very clear. Chu Xiuming did not speak, and the Prince of Ying did not say anything else. After all, there were some things that Chu Xiuming needed to think carefully about. Even if Chu Xiuming had not had the intention of rebelling before, what he said today would inevitably plant the seeds in Chu Xiuming's heart. The Prince of Ying knew Emperor Cheng's character very well. He was just waiting for a conflict between Emperor Cheng and Chu Xiuming, and then he would reap the benefits.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the guards around the Prince of England immediately became alert, "My Lord, it's getting late, would you like to have some food first?"
Chu Xiuming looked at the Prince of England, who smiled and said, "I'll let the people around me prepare it." He was worried about the things that Chu Xiuming's people had prepared.
"Yeah." Chu Xiuming responded, "Prepare for me alone." He said this to the people outside.
The prince of England glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard went out to make arrangements. Soon, Manager Zhao brought the food up. Because Chu Xiuming said it was for one person, it was just a simple dish of one meat, one vegetable, one soup, and rice. Chu Xiuming said, "I'll eat first, Your Majesty, please help yourself."
"Okay." said the Prince of England.
Chu Xiuming took out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork and took a bite. The sweet and sour pork ribs had a strong taste. He selected small ribs and fried them before cooking. They tasted very good. Chu Xiuming ate both dishes slowly, then took a bowl of soup and drank a few sips. The food for the Prince of England also came up, and Chu Xiuming put down the spoon. Manager Zhao took away the empty plates and bowls.
After the Prince of England finished his meal, a guard who was delivering the food suddenly attacked the Prince of England. The guards around Chu Xiuming also attacked the people around the Prince of England with a purpose. The Prince of England brought more people into the room than Chu Xiuming. The Prince of England's face changed, and he lifted the table and asked the guards to escort him out. At the same time, the Prince of England's guards suddenly yelled, and the sound of fighting was heard outside.
Chu Xiuming's attack came without any warning, and even the Prince of England had not expected this at all. He was finally protected by the guards and rushed out of the house. When he arrived at the yard, he saw that the yard had been surrounded. Many soldiers were pointing bows and arrows at the Prince of England and others. There was a lot of blood and corpses on the ground. The Prince of England saw the man in official uniform, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Xiuming. He knew why Chu Xiuming dared to take action.
The middle-aged man in official uniform did not approach, and even Chu Xiuming's men hid in the house and did not chase him out. The middle-aged man looked at the prince of England with deep hatred in his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that the bandits be captured."
The prince opened his mouth to shout, but the middle-aged man did not give him a chance. The arrows were already shot at the prince and his group...
Perhaps the Prince of England never thought in his entire life that he would die so miserably. His ideas of revenge and revenge could not be realized before he died in a remote courtyard in Kuncheng. It was useless under the hail of arrows even with the protection of masters. The Prince of England was shot to death by arrows. When he fell to the ground, his body was still twitching. The middle-aged man closed his eyes and said, "Your Highness... one day I will avenge you."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Yu Ying, take your men outside and wait."
"Yes, sir." The guard who had been standing behind the middle-aged man made a gesture, and soon many archers on the walls and roofs came down and followed Yu Ying away, as if they did not see the corpses on the ground.
Chu Xiuming walked out of the house and walked to the side of the Prince of Ying. The Prince of Ying's eyes were wide open and blood was flowing from his body. Chu Xiuming was sure that the man was dead, then he looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man trembled and said, "Is the emperor's grandson okay?"
"Yes." Chu Xiuming said, "Take care."
The middle-aged man smiled, looked at the body on the ground, and said, "Don't worry, the person has been rescued and is in a carriage outside the city."
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything else and took his men away. After leaving the yard, the people arranged by the middle-aged man naturally took them out of the city.
In fact, Chu Xiuming did not bring many people this time. The mistake of the Prince of England was that he underestimated Fei An. Although Fei An was being watched, according to his observations and calculations along the way, even the distance, Fei An had already calculated the approximate location when the Prince of England hid the people. In addition, Chu Xiuming's understanding of the Prince of England made him quickly send people to find it. The plate of sweet and sour pork ribs sent by Manager Zhao was a hint. If they had not found it, the ribs would not have been fried first, but cooked directly. In this way, Chu Xiuming could only miss this opportunity.
Not only that, the Prince of England did not expect that the officials of Kuncheng were actually Chu Xiuming's men. In fact, the Prince of England did not lose. Since the 27th year of Yongjia, the Chu family had already started making arrangements. Victory goes to those who are prepared.
After Chu Xiuming and his men left, Yu Ying came in with a few others. The middle-aged man said coldly, "Cut off their heads and burn the yard down."
"Yes." Yu Ying didn't ask any more questions.
The middle-aged man stood there, watching Yu Ying and his men chopping off heads one by one with knives. There were indeed two people who were not completely dead, so the heads and bodies of the Prince of Ying, his son, and his men were thrown together. Yu Ying poured oil on them, and the middle-aged man lit the fire himself. Then he watched the bodies surrounded by the raging flames, and then he led his men out. The soldiers outside were still guarding the area. The fire burned for a long time, and the middle-aged man also stood for a long time...
When Chu Xiuming and his men arrived outside the city, they saw that horses, carriages, dry food and other things were already prepared. Several soldiers were guarding around. The person who led Chu Xiuming and his men knew the leader of the soldiers, so these people quickly made way, handed over the things, and left. The carriages and horses were taken over by Chu Xiuming's men.
At this time, Chu Xiuyao was in the carriage. Chu Xiuming pursed his lips, and Manager Zhao said, "General..."
Chu Xiuming shook his head and said, "Let's get on the road." Then he got on the carriage. There was a man lying in the carriage. The man seemed to be unconscious and he was very thin, but... But it's good that he is alive.
In the mountain village, Yue Wen had already sent Jia Yi back to the border town to deliver the letter. Shen Jin held her waist with one hand and her stomach with the other, then walked slowly around the yard accompanied by An Ning, "Is there still no news about An Tao and the others?"
An Ning lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry, Second Sister. I think you are afraid of being followed."
Shen Jin gently stroked his belly and said, "I know."
An Ning advised softly, "Second sister, do you think we should wait until the weather gets warmer and ask Yue Wen to buy a few hens to raise at home?"
Shen Jin heard this and said, "What should we do?"
"Let Yue Wen and the others build a chicken coop, and then raise some rabbits. Then we'll have fresh eggs every day." An Ning said with a smile, "What do you think, Second Sister?"
Shen Jin nodded when she heard this. In fact, they didn't lack these things. Shen Jin also understood that An Ning didn't want her to think too much. "I don't know how Dongdong is doing. Will the little guy get fat again?"
An Ning said, "With the general here, I don't think the little guy will get fat."
Shen Jin looked down at her belly, which contained her and Chu Xiuming's child, as well as Dongdong's younger brother or sister.
At this time, Shen Jin didn't know that Chu Xiuming had directly killed the Prince of England. In fact, Chu Xiuming was also influenced by Shen Jin. Some things seemed direct and rough, but the effect was very good. The Prince of England felt that his life would benefit Chu Xiuming in many ways. Even if they could not cooperate, at least he could help Chu Xiuming share the pressure of Emperor Cheng if he was alive.
Who would have thought that Chu Xiuming didn't care about all this. In fact, if he hadn't received the news from Concubine Lan first, Chu Xiuming would naturally use other methods. Thinking of the situation in the capital, Chu Xiuming looked at his brother who was still unconscious and reached out to hold his hand. Although Chu Xiuyao's appearance had changed a lot because he had lost a lot of weight, Chu Xiuming would not make a mistake. They were brothers connected by blood.
