Chapter 240: A Total Loss



The secret guard Bai Fan described what happened last night in detail, and even the prince was secretly shocked.

Yesterday afternoon, Bai Fan reported back that Qiao Tianjing was attacked in the southern suburbs. At first, everything was under control, but unexpectedly, Zhou Bo brought a large number of death squads to reinforce Zhu Feng.

Qiao Tianjing blew the bone whistle to call for help, but even so, after the battle between the two sides, Zhufeng and Zhou Bo both escaped.

When he heard this, he suspected that Zhufeng and the others would make a comeback, so he immediately sent more people to contact Qiao Tianjing.

Bai Fan arrived at the Qiao Mansion and came into contact with Qiao Dalian, and learned that Qiao Tianjing had rushed to the Nanjiao Relief Home.

Bai Fan led his men and rushed over immediately. They met Qiao Tianjing and the secret guards fighting hard with Zhu Feng, so they were able to help.

Now that I think about it, I really cannot be careless about any of these things!

The Fourth Prince sat aside, and after listening to Bai Fan's words, his face was full of thoughtfulness.

“Brother, Brother Qiao is really amazing.”

"Zhu Feng and Zhou Bo are at the end of their rope. They actually thought of using the innocent children in the orphanage to threaten the Qiao family. Their original intention should be to lure Brother Qiao to be killed."

"But look, brother, not only is Brother Qiao safe and sound, he also successfully protected so many children in the orphanage. After thinking about it, Xiao Si still admires his ability."

Upon hearing this, the prince nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the eldest son of the Qiao family is very talented, and their Qiao family has three talented people."

Every time he thought about it, the prince felt very fortunate because the Qiao family was on his side.

Xiao Si has grown a lot mentally and is very intelligent now, so he no longer hides many things from Xiao Si.

Today, when the secret guard came to report, he did not avoid Xiao Si.

"Xiao Si, I will go to Qiao's mansion to pick you up tomorrow. We are still unsure whether Uncle Zhou is alive or dead, and we have not found any trace of him. I will go and discuss this with Dalang."

The fourth prince nodded happily, thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I know that Brother Qiao will definitely send people to continue to protect the orphanage, but for the sake of safety, do you think we should also..."

The prince smiled gently upon hearing this, "My brother has already sent someone. They are children of our Great Yong Dynasty. As members of the royal family, we eat the salary of the world, so we naturally have the responsibility to protect them."

Having said this, the prince's expression gradually became serious.

As the crown prince, he has always lived a restricted life and has been unable to take care of many things.

There are countless people in this world, and I wonder how many of them are homeless and unable to feed themselves.

If one day, he...

If such a day really comes, he will work hard to govern the country, provide a roof over everyone's head, and bring peace and prosperity to the world!

The Fourth Prince looked at his brother the Crown Prince with a face full of admiration and worship.

His brother, the crown prince, is the best crown prince in the world and will be the best king in the future!

Under the leadership of the Crown Prince, the Yong Dynasty will surely become the most powerful and peaceful country!

"Master Zhou? Master Zhou?"

Zhou Bo vaguely felt someone pushing him.

His mouth was dry and his whole body was in excruciating pain.

The clear water flowed into his mouth, soaking his throat, bringing a hint of coolness that made him shudder!

"Master Zhou?"

Zhou Bo slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him turned from blurry to clear. He recognized that the person in front of him was the secret guard who risked his life to help him break out of the siege!

He looked around and found himself lying on the bed.

"Where...where is this?"

Zhou Bo's voice was as hoarse as a broken bellows that was being pulled.

The secret guard hurriedly replied: "We are back, Lord Zhou, we are back."

"At that time, I took you and jumped off the high cliff. Fortunately, I was able to grab a vine and escape."

Zhou Bo was in a daze, and after a while he asked, "Where is Zhufeng?"

The secret guard's expression suddenly froze, and then a look of grief appeared on his face.

Zhou Bo's heart suddenly tightened and his face changed drastically.

"Is he...Is he..."

As Zhou Bo's voice trembled, the secret guard nodded solemnly.

"Master Zhou, as soon as I got back, I sent someone to the orphanage to get information, but I didn't find Master Feng, nor did I find anyone else."

"Master Feng, he...he..."

The secret guard's eyes were red.

"When we started the fire, Lord Feng told us that if things were impossible, he would burn himself on the spot and would never leave any loopholes for Your Highness."

"I think that Master Feng should have already..."

When Zhou Bo heard this, his whole body trembled violently, and a few strange noises came from his throat.

The secret guard was startled and wanted to call for a doctor, but Zhou Bo waved his hand.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the next moment, his face was filled with shame and shock.

"Zhu Feng...Zhu Feng has great righteousness in his heart. It is I who am narrow-minded. Even I am ashamed of myself for his love for His Highness."

"How can I bear to pass this news on to His Highness..."

When the secret guard heard this, he tried to hold back, but tears still rolled down his cheeks.

The Master Feng whom he admired, when the fire burned him, how painful it must have been for Master Feng...

The room was silent for a while. Uncle Zhou supported himself on the bed and tried to sit up, but found that he had no strength in his right leg.

He tried several times and couldn't help but change his expression.

"My...my legs!"

Upon hearing this, the secret guard rushed forward to help Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo was horrified and turned his head to ask him:

"Is my leg failing?"

The guard's expression changed several times. Under Zhou Bo's hysterical urging, he said hesitantly:

"Master Zhou, you were shot in the back by an arrow. Although the wound is not deep, it...but it has hindered your right leg, so..."

Zhou Bo couldn't believe it in his heart. He tried again and again regardless of the wound on his back. Finally, he collapsed on the couch powerlessly, crying.

This time...this time it's really a complete loss!

How should he explain to His Highness?

Thinking of the Second Prince who was far away in the southern border, Zhou Bo's heart skipped a beat again.

"By the way, where is Sheng Xiuran? Where is that woman?"

The secret guard shook his head and said, "Master Zhou, our people went back to look for her. I think her body must have been taken away by the Qiao family."

The woman had already been tortured beyond recognition by Lord Zhou, and then she was shot by an arrow. She was definitely dead.

Unless there is some miraculous doctor in the world, but it is impossible for that miraculous doctor to be in the southern suburbs by such a coincidence, the woman will definitely not survive.

Zhou Bo was horrified when he heard this. He tightly grasped the hand of the secret guard and said in a trembling voice, "How long has it been since yesterday?"

The secret guard quickly replied: "Master Zhou, it has been a day and a night."

Zhou Bo's eyes widened with fear. "You, you, you...send someone out to check and see if there are any rumors about His Highness. Go now!"

The secret guard didn't understand. Zhou Bo was not so scared when he heard that his right leg was broken.

“Go quickly!!!”

When Zhou Bo saw that the secret guard did not move, he yelled in panic.

The secret guard was startled, responded quickly, and hurried out.

Zhou Bo lay exhausted on the couch, filled with fear, and even couldn't help shaking.

If...if the rumor really spread, then he would be a sinner for all eternity!
