"Um?"
Wang Yanzhang turned around in confusion, then slurred his words.
"Brother Zhao, I think I saw the Crown Prince too..."
At this point, the two suddenly startled, instantly sobering up halfway. They instinctively rubbed their eyes and looked intently towards the doorway…
After the two people repeatedly confirmed, they finally determined that the person at the door was indeed Li Zhu…
"Your Highness...Your Highness...Why...Why are you here?"
Zhao Feng stammered, a sense of foreboding creeping over her, but she still clung to a sliver of hope that Li Zhu had just arrived and hadn't overheard anything important...
However, Li Zhu's expression told them they were in trouble...
"Looks like I've been hindering your two attempts to pick up girls?"
Flirting with girls?
Seeing their reactions, Li Zhu knew the term was a bit too avant-garde and they wouldn't understand it. He could only cough twice before continuing to explain.
"Out looking for women..."
The two suddenly realized that finding women was called flirting...
However, the two quickly realized something was wrong, and Wang Yanzhang asked uncertainly.
"Your Highness... Crown Prince... how long have you been here?"
"I've been here a long time, long enough to hear everything you've said..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, the two men's hearts sank to the bottom. Knowing that he had overheard everything they said, they wished they could disappear into the ground. To speak ill of someone behind their back and have it overheard by the person in question, and most importantly, to have such overwhelming power over their lives, even without that power, was far stronger than them. Once he made his move, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to…
"Um... Your... Crown Prince... would you believe me if I said I was joking?"
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhu awkwardly. It was obvious that he himself did not believe what he said, so Li Zhu was even less likely to believe it!
"Shut up, what joke... Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince is stupid? How could you say such a thing!"
You're so wicked! You actually tried to trick me into saying bad things about the Crown Prince. Luckily, I'm clever enough to play along and manage to get all your opinions about His Highness the Crown Prince out of me…”
Wang Yanzhang berated Zhao Feng, speaking with such righteous indignation that if Li Zhu hadn't overheard him outside for so long, he would have actually believed his nonsense!
Then Wang Yanzhang turned to look at Li Zhu and said...
"Your Highness, I have completed my mission. Zhao Feng harbors resentment towards you. Please investigate thoroughly..."
Zhao Feng was completely dumbfounded. Had he become the sixth son after serving the Crown Prince for so long? How could someone be so despicable? He was the one who first criticized the Crown Prince, and his criticisms were the harshest, yet now he was shifting all the blame onto him. This was the most despicable person he had ever met…
Li Zhu also gained a new understanding of Wang Yanzhang, and he didn't hesitate to betray his teammates without any hesitation...
Just a moment ago, these two were best buddies, but the next they turned into high-level spies biding their time, their every action a sacrifice to gather intelligence...
"General Wang... truly..."
Li Zhu hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to say...
"Your Highness, there's no need for such praise. This is all I should do. As the saying goes, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' It is our honor to be able to risk our lives for Your Highness..."
The two men stared wide-eyed at Wang Yanzhang. Was he really going to throw caution to the wind and be shameless to the end?
Li Zhu really wanted to say, "What the hell are you praising? Do you even deserve my praise?"
"I'm so impressed, I don't even need to lean on a wall..."
Li Zhu clicked his tongue and said, "This shamelessness is even greater than mine..."
"Hey Wang, explain yourself! You're the one who dragged me here to drink and carouse, and now you're turning around and accusing me? That's going too far..."
Zhao Feng pointed at Wang Yanzhang's nose and angrily cursed!
"That was a sacrifice I had to make to infiltrate the enemy. You haven't even avenged yourself for throwing me into the latrine, how could I possibly drink with you calmly? This was to complete His Highness the Crown Prince's mission..."
In an attempt to prove himself, Wang Yanzhang has started spouting nonsense...
Li Zhu was also constantly being pushed to new lows by his shamelessness, thinking to himself, "When the hell did I give you a task? You're really something, dragging me into this. This is even worse than when Zhao Feng dragged him into it last time..."
At least Zhao Feng spoke based on facts, leaving Li Zhu with no room for argument. After all, he did kick Wang Yanzhang, and it looked as if he was genuinely helping Zhao Feng escape. Wang Yanzhang was talking complete nonsense…
"stop…"
Li Zhu had just uttered a sentence when Wang Yanzhang interrupted him, saying...
"Oh, my life is so hard. My daughter ran away with that jerk. As her father, I really need to choose a good husband for her in the future. That jerk is definitely out of the question..."
Li Zhu thought to himself, "A thousand alpacas are stampeding past. This is a direct threat to me. If I don't admit it, I'll probably get my comeuppance before Wang Riqing's death. After all, he's Wang Riqing's father. If he keeps talking badly about him, Wang Riqing might really leave me..."
"Uh... well... it was indeed the task I assigned..."
Li Zhu could only awkwardly admit it. It was incredibly frustrating; the feeling of having to lie was really unpleasant…
Zhao Feng could easily see the ulterior motive between the two. He was a martial artist, but he wasn't stupid...
"Wang Yanzhang, why don't you go and become a dog..."
Zhao Feng gritted her teeth and glared at Wang Yanzhang, scolding him!
"General Zhao, there's no need to be angry. His Highness the Crown Prince is magnanimous and won't hold a grudge against you..."
Although Wang Yanzhang betrayed Zhao Feng, deep down he didn't want Li Zhu to punish Zhao Feng, so there was still a possibility of reconciliation between him and Zhao Feng...
The thought of his recently reconciled relationship with Zhao Feng being shattered filled Wang Yanzhang with a sense of helplessness…
I thought to myself, I should stay away from Zhao Feng from now on, otherwise those arrows with bamboo tubes are really too terrifying...
"Yes, you're right. I certainly won't be angry with you. However, I've recently hit a bottleneck in my training and need a couple of sparring partners. So, come back with me today and give me some pointers..."
Li Zhu grinned and said with a malicious smile!
If the two of them knew the international hand gesture, they would definitely give Li Zhu the middle finger right in front of him!
It was obvious they hadn't been fooled; they were planning to take them back and beat them up to vent their anger...
Both of them looked dejected, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they had just criticized Li Zhu too harshly, so it was only natural that someone would beat them up. They could only helplessly follow Li Zhu outside.
As soon as he stepped onto the street, Wang Yanzhang exclaimed in surprise.
"Qingqing, is that you? Wait for your father..."
After saying that, Wang Yanzhang chased after him. Zhao Feng, who was standing next to him, paused for a moment and said...
"Holy crap... this works?"
He thought Wang Yanzhang was just making an excuse to run away, which made him feel a little admiring of Wang Yanzhang's shamelessness...
