"The moon is dark and the wind is high, on the night of capturing the assassin, I sit and feed the mosquitoes and take a few mouthfuls of rice from the bowl. It smells so good, but my feet are itchy!" Yan Ruocheng joked in a poem-like way while eating.
Huang Fengmo next to him almost burst into tears when he heard this.
"Ahem! You don't talk when you eat. Don't tell jokes while eating."
"Your Highness, there are mosquitoes biting my feet! It's really unnecessary to sit in the hall even when eating. Let's go to the side hall. There are not so many mosquitoes there." Yan Ruocheng scratched his calf, helplessly.
persuade.
"We have already burned so much sandalwood, and there are a lot less mosquitoes. Please stop making noises and eat quietly." Huang Fengmo said.
"I've burned so much sandalwood, it's very dazzling now. Your Highness..." Yan Ruocheng put down the bowl and chopsticks, rested his chin with his hands, and acted a little coquettishly.
"I don't usually see you paying attention to these things, is it abnormal to be like this now?" Huang Fengmo said with narrowed eyes.
"No, I think the side hall is safer and I feel more at ease when eating. I'm worried that hidden weapons will fly towards me if I pick up sticks of celery." She just finished speaking.
Whoosh! A flash of knife flashed, and a piece of celery held in the chopsticks was accurately divided into two.
A dart was stuck in the middle of the dining table, with a note tied to it.
"Your Highness, it was thrown here by an assassin. The villain said it's dangerous and we need to defend ourselves!" Yan Ruocheng immediately held the pot lid to protect him.
"Calm down, what do you want to say on the note first?"
Huang Fengmo wanted to take the note and read it, but Yan Ruocheng covered it with a pot and said, "Your Highness! No! The paper may be poisonous, and it's not necessarily that you will be poisoned and die if you touch it."
"No way?" Huang Fengmo immediately retracted his hand after hearing what she said.
"Let the villain use tweezers to open it and take a look."
Yan Ruocheng put on his gloves and mask, then opened the lid of the pot and slowly opened it with tweezers. There was nothing written inside. He poured some water into it and used a silver needle to test for poison. Strange? But it was not poisonous at all?
"Oops! Brother Chenling was captured by an assassin!" Wang Xiulin suddenly rushed in and said in a panic.
"What? Isn't Chen Ling with you? And there are so many guards guarding him, how could he be taken away?" Huang Fengmo asked urgently.
"Brother Chenling went to the toilet and was caught. The assassin only left a note, asking me to come to the lobby and read the next instructions." Wang Xiulin explained.
"Instructions? Could this white paper be the instructions?" Huang Fengmo looked at the white paper on the table, confused.
"What kind of white paper?" Wang Xiulin came over to take a look, and suddenly became furious. He stared angrily at Yan Ruocheng who was holding the silver needle and said, "Ah! Why did you splash it with water?"
Yan Ruozhen stood aside and did not dare to say anything. Huang Fengmo protected her and said, "I think this paper may be poisonous, so I need to test the poison first."
"Brother Fengmo, you are so confused! It is written with hidden ink! Hidden ink is a new type of ink recently developed by Chun Jianguo. The written words can be invisible, but once they are exposed to fire, the words will appear.
.But, I don’t know if it’s waterproof or not?” Wang Xiulin explained angrily while holding a candle to dry the paper and take a look.
Soon the paper dried, and some writing slowly appeared on the inside, which read: "In three days, the area around Yue Feng Mountain will be called to release all the captured assassins. Otherwise, there will be no need to see the second prince."
"Then what should we do? Your Highness!" Yan Ruozhen grabbed Huang Fengmo's shoulders and asked very worriedly.
"What we can do, of course, is to follow their wishes and take the assassins we captured before to rescue Brother Chenling in three days!" Wang Xiulin said angrily.
"This won't work." Huang Fengmo frowned and shook his head.
"Brother Fengmo, why not?" Wang Xiulin asked.
"The assassins who were caught before were killed by Emperor Father's secret order. Where can I find someone to deal with him?" Huang Fengmo didn't want to kill anyone at first. He would ask as many as he could, but Emperor Father was ruthless and never spared any assassins.
Live a few more days.
"If there is no one, let the guards dress up. Let them dress up like prisoners with their coats loose. I'm afraid the assassins won't recognize them." Wang Xiulin suggested.
"Let's think about how we can catch them all in one go?"
Huang Fengmo and Wang Xiulin discussed it, and Yan Ruocheng walked away quietly. He left the hall and walked to the yard, looking at the moon worriedly.
In three days, she didn't know how those assassins would treat Huang Chenling. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.
A small stone hit her on the top of her head. She looked up and saw that Ah Chun was on the roof and made a gesture, telling her to go to a place where no one was around.
She nodded and quietly walked behind the rockery mountain where no guards passed by.
Ah Chun jumped in front of her, "You are pregnant now, so don't make such a big move." Yan Ruozhen frowned and said in warning.
"Huh, I'm not here, how do you know where the second prince was taken?" Achun said, crossing his arms.
"You know, why didn't you stop the assassin? Let him be captured by the assassin." Yan Ruocheng said a little angrily.
"That's what your second prince meant. Otherwise, how would you find the assassin's base camp? Someone has already followed it. I just saw you looking so worried, so I stopped by to tell you. I won't say anything anymore, I'm going to check out the situation too.
." Ah Chun finished speaking and prepared to leave.
Yan Ruozhen quickly grabbed her and said, "Can you take me with you? I'm still worried. I always feel like something bad has happened."
"You said I'm pregnant, so how can I fly you there? Just sit back and wait, he will be fine."
"It's strange that nothing happens. You don't understand how unlucky the second prince is usually. Even if everything goes smoothly, everything will be hindered once it happens to him. I really want to follow him and have a look..." Yan
Ruo Li said with a grimace on his face.
"If you say so, I can't take you there?" Ah Chun said, shaking her hand.
"I'll take you there." Huan flew down from nowhere and said.
"Huan? I haven't seen you for so long while recovering from your injuries. I thought you died." Ah Chun said mockingly.
"You're the one who died! You cursed me so viciously. The leader asked me to tell you to go back to Hongyan Tower quickly. You don't have to follow me. Just leave it to him over there." Huan said with his hands on his hips.
"That man is indeed a fool!" Ah Chun cursed, then angrily used the shuttle tool and flew away with a whoosh.
"Huan, you..." Yan Ruocheng looked a little embarrassed.
"Farewell to me, and to you again. Nothing happened to us that night. It was Anyou who thought I was attracted to you, so he confused us and slept together. He wanted to be a matchmaker to help us get married. I
I've already given him a lecture! You don't have to be so embarrassed anymore, let alone get angry at me again." Huan scratched his head and explained with his hands on his hips.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"If you don't believe me, just ask An You. Anyway, I didn't lie."
"Then fly me there quickly. I wonder if the second prince's bad luck has struck?"
Yan Ruozhen knew that she had nothing to do with him, so she immediately returned to her usual smile. She easily got into his arms and let him hug her and fly away.
"..." Huan raised an eyebrow, hugging her? She thought so beautifully! She disliked having a relationship with him so much, and it wasn't his turn to retaliate in kind yet.
He picked up Yan Ruocheng's small waist and threw it ruthlessly on his shoulders like a sandbag. He used a bar!
Yan Ruocheng almost threw out the contents of her stomach. It was obvious that he was retaliating for the violence she had done to him before.
"Are you too stingy?" She lightly hit his back and said.
"This is not to be stingy, but to ensure that we keep a proper distance. I want to clarify that although I am a little interested in you, I will not really fall in love with you, so don't always think that I will mess around with you.
"After Huan finished speaking, he took her flying into the night sky without waiting for her answer.
In a hidden bandit den on a hilltop outside the city.
"Get in!"
Huang Chenling was roughly pushed into a cage, and then a masked man with an iron whip came and whipped him.
The iron whip was hard and prickly, and one whip was enough to draw blood. A long blood mark appeared on his back.
"Hiss!" He dragged his stinging body back to a corner, thinking: Damn it! Didn't those shadow attendants follow? Why haven't they arrived yet?
The iron whip was swung at him several more times, each one hitting his skin and flesh. He burrowed in and out like a stray dog that was afraid of being chased. But there was nowhere to escape, so he could only
Being whipped.
The severe pain and fear gradually reminded him of the dark and lightless days when he was a child. After his biological mother passed away, he was locked up in a dark cell by his father for a period of time because he insisted on his father tracking down the poison.
He refused to give up until the matter of his dead mother was found out. His father refused to dissuade him, so he immediately locked him up. When he resisted the hunger strike, his father sent someone to beat him with a whip until he was willing to eat. He was locked up as soon as he was locked up.
He was imprisoned for three full years, until he was so submissive that he was like a puppet, allowing himself to be manipulated by his father.
He endured the pain all over his body and suddenly burst out with inner rage, rushing towards the masked man holding an iron whip and biting him. The masked man punched him to the ground and kicked him several times.
Just when he was about to faint from the kick, he heard a "bang" and the masked man was knocked unconscious.
Yan Ruozhen stood behind angrily holding a thick mace. Outside, the shadow attendants were fighting with the assassins, and Huan led Yan Ruozhen to go in first to save people. Huan was still fighting on the side, and she saw
This man kicked Huang Chenling with his feet, then picked up the mace and beat him to death hard!
Throwing away the mace, he flew towards Huang Chenling and held him in his arms heartbroken: "Second Prince!"
"It hurts so much. You can still hug me so hard, huh!" Huang Chenling leaned tightly in her arms, grabbed her clothes, and vomited. Although he said it lightly, he felt heavy.
I really, really want to hide in her warm arms.
"It's okay, don't be afraid..." Yan Ruocheng felt that his whole body was trembling, so she hugged him tightly and kissed his face.
"Who said I was afraid? I was in pain."
"Okay, okay, it hurts. Let me give you a hug first."
After Huan finished beating a bunch of people, he glanced at them who were still showing affection in the cage and didn't run away. I really wanted to fly over with a knife!
