"Oops, Brother Wucheng, you'd better run away and leave me alone, or you'll have to die with me..." Chaoyan looked fearfully at the archers who surrounded them from above, each drawing his bow under the torch.
After setting the arrow, arrows rained down suddenly. Wu Cheng waved the soft sword in his hand and tried his best to help her resist the arrows. One of them had already hit his leg.
"Princess, don't talk, just hide behind me, and when you find an opportunity, run away!" Wu Chengwu had no time to look back at her, and said while quickly knocking down every sharp arrow that was shot at her. After all, it's hard to beat a hero.
Four punches, not to mention so many archers, he also felt desperate: maybe he can't hold on for long...
"Everyone stop it!"
At this extremely critical moment, suddenly, a thunderous roar was heard, and then the archers above couldn't help but stop shooting arrows; they looked at the sword suddenly placed on their necks in surprise.
"Ah? Is it sir?" Chaoyan raised his head and saw a row of officers and soldiers emerging from behind Xue Qiang's men. Each person held a steel knife and pressed it against the necks of the archers.
.A young scholar-like man wearing a beige crane cloak and light blue robe walked slowly and slowly from the opposite hillside, followed by a large number of officers and soldiers holding high torches.
That man was none other than Jia Fu, whom Chaoyan thought was a coward.
"Uncle Guo, you are well. Jia Fu is being polite!"
In the light of the fire, Jia Fu held a feather fan and crossed his hand to Xue Qiang, who was captured by the soldiers, as a salute.
"Jia Fu! You are bold! You are impudent!"
Xue Qiang, who was pinned down by the soldiers, struggled hard and shouted to Jia Fu on the opposite side: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to lay a finger on me, Empress Dowager Zhengci will not let you go."
!”
"Hey!" At this time, one of Xue Qiang's men suddenly broke free from the soldiers pressing him and ran quickly into the vast night.
"Quickly, go to the Imperial Capital to find the Queen Mother!" Xue Qiang saw her and hurriedly shouted at the running figure.
"Do you think I will wait until the Queen Mother comes to save you?"
Jia Fu smiled, as if he didn't mind the person who was running away. He suddenly looked at him and shouted sternly: "Here you come! Cut off Xue Qiang, who is corrupt, perverts the law, bullies men and women, and punishes him on the spot."
!”
"What?" This sentence surprised everyone, and a soldier asked Jia Fu worriedly: "Sir, isn't this bad? We should ask His Majesty for instructions first? He is the uncle of the country after all!"
"I'll cut it off if I say it. If His Majesty knows about it, it won't be done. As ministers, we should be thoughtful and considerate of His Majesty's worries. Whatever happens, Jia Fu will bear it every day!" Jia Fu waved his hand vigorously.
, firmly ordered: "Cut!"
"Jia Fu! How dare you! You are so brave!" Xue Qiang became anxious and stamped his feet angrily and cursed. However, the soldiers on the side obeyed and held Xue Qiang tightly.
, raised the sword high and swung it, and immediately, Xue Qiang's fat head fell to the ground.
Hua Hua...
Seeing that Xue Qiang was beheaded, his men had no choice but to throw away their weapons and accept their fate.
"The princess was shocked." Jia Fu saw that after finishing his work, Fang walked down the hill calmly and smiled at her.
Chaoyan looked at him and was stunned for a while before saying, "Sir, I thought you were really scared... Why aren't you afraid of him anymore?"
"Haha, Princess!" Jia Fu laughed after hearing this. He had already walked up to Chao Yan, "Because Xue Qiang's spy was hidden in the mansion at that time, so I had to pretend to be frightened to coax them.
Well, if you hadn't simply run out to attract their attention, I wouldn't be able to spare the time to collect evidence of Xue Qiang's crime! Don't you think so, Wucheng?"
"Sir, I admit my guilt." After hearing this, Wu Cheng knelt down in front of him with a look of shame and said helplessly: "My lord, I admit that it was me who threatened you that night and stayed in your house to spy on you. Wu Cheng
I will fulfill my wish and obey the law and let you have your way."
"Wucheng, get up quickly. You are just being used by him. There is no serious crime." Jia Fu hurriedly bent down to help him up, his eyes were warm and sincere: "You have good skills. If you don't dislike it, why not follow someone?"
How about being a bodyguard by your side?"
"Ah? Are you serious about what you say? But, I am still a sinner!" Wu Cheng seemed surprised to hear this and asked in disbelief.
"Of course, we need talents like you!" Jia Fu nodded, "Didn't you sacrifice your life just now to save the princess? This can be used as an excuse. From now on, you will be one of the guards around me, how about
?”
"Wu Cheng, thank you for your promotion!" Wu Cheng knelt down and said gratefully after hearing this. He never thought in his wildest dreams that, instead of blaming himself for the crime of threatening an official of the imperial court, the Chengyang Order would accept him as a bodyguard and give him a
It was really a place of refuge. I was really grateful from the bottom of my heart. But he soon thought of something and said eagerly: "Sir, someone escaped just now. He will definitely go and report the news to the Empress Dowager Zhengci. Sir, if the Empress Dowager knows about it, wouldn't it be wrong?"
Okay, sir, please lend me a fast horse, Wu Cheng is willing to chase this man back!"
"No need, no need." Jia Fu shook his feather fan lightly and smiled lightly, "I just want him to have someone to report the news to the Queen Mother. Otherwise, he will kill the uncle in silence like this. We
Your Majesty can’t explain anything easily!”
"What do you mean, sir?" Wu Cheng didn't understand, and Chaoyan couldn't figure it out either: Is it okay if the Queen Mother knows? Why does he have to know the Queen Mother?
"Uncle Guo is not an ordinary citizen, and the Queen Mother will know sooner or later. So it's better to let her know in advance." Jia Fu saw their doubts and simply elaborated: "Although I have collected enough evidence of Xue Qiang's crime, but
The Queen Mother will definitely not agree to sentence him to death. We must also give Her Majesty a chance to issue a pardon for my uncle!"
After hearing this, Chaoyan thought to himself: It turns out that I wrongly blamed Mr. Jia. He deliberately pretended to be timid and fearful, and gave Xue Qiang a sloppy look. He deliberately let go of a reporter because he wanted his brother to go down.
Is there an imperial edict to pardon the uncle of the country, and then face the upcoming wrath of Empress Dowager Zhengci alone?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking worriedly: "But sir, if this is the case, what will happen if Empress Dowager Zhengci gets angry with you and punishes you?"
"Haha, Princess, you don't have to worry about me. There is someone at the Queen Mother's side to make adjustments for me." Jia Fucheng knew what was going on and laughed.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Qin Zheng, who was thousands of miles away in the palace, suddenly sneezed inexplicably. He put down the memorial in his hand that he had not finished reviewing, and looked up at the dark sky outside the door. It was already late at night.
"Your Majesty, it's getting cold late at night, so please go back to the palace and sleep in peace." The eunuch on the side saw this and asked in a low voice.
"No, I want to handle some more official business." Qin Zheng shook his hand. His predecessor, the tyrant cousin, left a lot of mess. He needs to work harder, otherwise these memorials will become more and more numerous.
Talents, Cangdong Kingdom is in urgent need of a large number of talents now...
