"Prince Qi actually dares to assassinate the prince? Master Feng is not mistaken, right?" Li Shilang looked surprised, with a look of shock in his eyes, "How dare he?"
Doesn’t King Qi know that assassinating the prince is a capital crime?
"After being overwhelmed by power, nothing is impossible." Feng Ci glanced at Li Shilang, his expression calm and unruffled, "In fact, I already felt a murderous aura before arriving at the border.
It’s just that they never found the opportunity to take action.”
"Damn King Qi, he is so bold!" Yun Chen was shocked and angry, "I will not let him go after I return, I must let my father execute him!"
Feng Ci was noncommittal.
After His Highness the Crown Prince returns to the Imperial City safely, there are too many people who will not let him go, and there are too many people he has to deal with. Unfortunately, he still doesn't know if he will have the chance to return to the Imperial City again in this life.
"I still want to take people to patrol the military camp to confirm the identity of the assassin." Feng Ci nodded to the two of them, "Please stay in the big tent and stay away until I find out the origin of the assassin and make sure we are safe along the way.
Let’s start again.”
Yun Chen was afraid of death, so he nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "If someone really wants to assassinate me, Feng Ci, you must cut them into pieces, chop them up and feed them to the dogs, do you hear me?"
Feng Ci said nothing and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Yun Chen felt uneasy and said in a hurry, "Feng Ci, do you want to change my residence? If the assassin knows where I live, will my safety not be guaranteed?"
Waste! Afraid of death!
The young guards on duty outside the tent showed contempt on their faces, and they all cursed this useless prince in their hearts, and even prayed that the assassin would be the first to chop him into pieces.
Feng Ci naturally despised him in his heart, but he had known for a long time that the royal family had such a cowardly prince who was afraid of death, and he had long been accustomed to keeping his emotions and anger hidden.
This matter is not enough to make him lose his composure: "Your Highness, don't worry. No one can break into this military camp. Besides, there are so many well-trained soldiers guarding the camp outside the camp. The prince doesn't have to worry."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Not to mention that the current emperor wants to kill the Feng family, even if he doesn't have that idea, it is really an aggrieved thing for the Feng family to be loyal to a cowardly and incompetent king like Yun Chen.
Feng Ci looked up at the dark night sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there might be another heavy downpour tomorrow.
Just bear with it a little longer, he told himself.
There are not many days left, there are still two months before the New Year, and the New Year will be over soon.
Yun Chen and his envoys set up camp at the border. The search for the assassin took more than half a month. Feng Ci set up a dragnet outside Yun Chen's tent. Almost every day, dead men in black were shot into a hornet's nest.
Yun Chen, who was still a little skeptical at first, finally said impatiently when he saw the twelfth dead soldier being dragged out of the tent: "Twelve people have died, and their identities haven't been found yet?"
"They are all dead soldiers. Before they came to go on a mission, all the marks on their bodies were removed. Your Highness, there is no need to worry." Feng Ci said calmly, "No matter whose order they came from, there is a time limit for completing the mission.
Yes, as long as the prince stays here and does not go out, they will automatically come to your door. We just need to wait and see."
Yun Chen said angrily: "What if the flow continues at this moment?"
"How is that possible?" A young man sneered coldly, "What the prince said is really ridiculous. Even the Royal Shadow Pavilion cannot have a steady stream of shadow guards coming to die. These dead soldiers and shadow guards are not easy to train. Princes and powerful people
It is considered very powerful to be able to raise dozens of them in the palace, but if the emperor knows that it is a serious crime to behead someone, they still keep coming? Does the prince know how much money and time it takes to train a dead soldier?"
Yun Chen was so irritated by these words that he said, "How presumptuous!"
The young man turned his head in disdain, not bothering to pay attention to this idiot.
Yun Chen spoke angrily: "Feng Ci, I order you to kill him immediately!"
"Your Highness, please don't forget that we were the ones protecting you when you were assassinated." Another young man glared at Yun Chen with dissatisfaction, "Kill us just because you said you would kill us? Who do you think you are? A coward.
, Coward, idiot! Without us, you would have been sent to see the King of Hell by these assassins. Would you still have a chance to show off your power as the prince here? "
Yun Chen's face turned red and his whole body was shaking with anger.
Since entering the border military camp, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by these young guards almost every day. He is often on the verge of going berserk, but what the other party says is hard to refute.
He is just afraid of death and needs protection. What's wrong?
Isn't it what they should do to protect him? He is the prince, so they should protect him!
"His Royal Highness, please go back and rest." After Feng Ci finished speaking, he turned around and scolded, "Everyone, please be safe and don't be rude to the Crown Prince."
The young men stood up straight and continued to fulfill their duties to protect the prince. Although this did not affect them at all, they would still make sarcastic comments when they disliked Yun Chen, but they still had to fulfill their duties.
Yun Chen was so angry that he wanted to pull out all these ungrateful things and kill them with sticks, but it was obviously not the time yet, so he could only endure it in frustration and wait until he returned to the imperial city.
The weather in October was getting colder and colder. The big tent in the military camp was not as warm as the palace, and sometimes there was air leakage. He was shivering from the cold. Apart from getting out of bed for three meals a day, he could stay in bed as long as he could.
In bed, there is almost no need to go out and walk around.
At the end of October, Feng Ci took the initiative to find him: "Because the assassins kept appearing, delaying our return to the imperial capital, spies from the imperial city were just ordered to inquire about the situation here. I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to write a letter for the spies to take back.
To the Emperor."
Yun Chen frowned: "Write a letter?"
"Yes." Feng Ci turned to look at the sky outside, "If His Highness the Crown Prince is not afraid of encountering assassins again, we can leave tomorrow, but it would be better to write a letter in advance and have someone take it back to the emperor for review, so as not to worry the emperor.
suspicious."
Yun Chen was moved: "Should I report the truth to my father about the assassin sent by King Qi to assassinate me?"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince thinks it is possible, I have no objection." Feng Ci said calmly, "However, the journey is long and there may be some twists and turns on the way. No one can guarantee whether the royal spies can safely bring the letter to the Emperor."
Yun Chen frowned and thought for a while: "You can arrange more people to protect me, even if I encounter another assassin on the road..."
"His Royal Highness, you can think about it again." Feng Ci interrupted him, "We are staying in the military camp, with three levels inside and three outside. The guards are extremely tight. No matter which direction the assassin sneaks in, he will eventually die."
