C114 (2/2)

On a whim, he revealed his identity and even wrote a letter of introduction for him, accepting him as one of his father's trusted aides. He would show off his abilities and find the girl who abandoned him to avenge his parents. At the same time, he would give him a chance to show off his talent.

The next day, as soon as the sky turned gray, the village was surrounded by soldiers.

A light drizzling rain fell on the bandit who was unaware that he was still in his sleep and had been wiped out by someone.

Not long after, all of the bandits were being held captive, squatting in the muddy yard, letting the drizzle mercilessly drenched them.

”Reporting to Crown Prince, I did not discover the woman you were talking about.”

A middle aged man dressed in armor was anxiously shuttling through the drizzle while talking to Dongfang Chen who was sitting under the umbrella.

But, after a long while, he finally saw Dongfang Chen slightly raise his head, his face was pale white, and there were spots and scars on his face. Beads of sweat flowed down his face, he had long since lost the dignity of a Crown Prince.

Hearing his subordinate's report, he suddenly began to cough violently, and his breathing became ragged. However, the doctor standing by the side was frightened, so he quickly pulled out a pill and stopped the coughing.

”Find...” Go find... ”No matter what, you have to find her for me.”

Although it was only a few words, it seemed to have used all of his strength.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lay weakly on the chair, gasping for air.

Jing Yan, nothing must happen to you. He silently shouted in his heart.

Whether it was because she was the woman who was born that day, the empress appointed by the imperial overseer and Master Pu Hai, or because he might have some place in his heart for her, she could not die.

”Husband, save me …”

Suddenly, from the roof of the pavilion in the village came Shangguan Jingyan's cry for help.

Dongfang Chen could no longer care about the pain on his body, and rushed into the drizzle. Lifting her head and looking upwards, she saw that Shangguan Jing was being held hostage by Tian Ya, a shining dagger pressed against her throat. If she had moved even a little bit, she would definitely have died on the spot.

”To the heavens, I order you to let go of Lady Shangguan. I can open up a net and let you go.”

The imperial guard that was guarding Luoyang City, whose official uniform had tightly bound his fat body, let out a loud shout as the fat on his body shook a few times.

When he found out that the Crown Prince and the future Empress had been kidnapped by bandits on his territory, he was overwhelmed with shock. He hurriedly sent people to find the best doctor in the entire Luoyang Medical Arts to treat the Crown Prince.

Afterwards, he gathered the best elites to surround and annihilate the Heaven's End. Today, he had to kill to the ends of the earth in order to redeem His Majesty's sins.

Of course, he also hoped that Grand Preceptor would ask His Majesty for a favor for the sake of his decades of hard work and hard work, even without any merits, so that he could hold onto his job.

”Great Concubine Chen, I seem to remember there was a trade between us. Could it be that you want to destroy the bridge after getting the money?”

He sneered at the horizon, and cold words came out of his mouth.

The world was as dark as a crow. There was nothing wrong with his words. If he was able to establish himself as the king in such a short period of time, without Chen TaiShou's indulgence, without his strong support, without his secrecy, would the imperial court be forced to eat dry food all these years?

”What's going on?”

From here, Dongfang Chen could hear that there was something different about her. Her hawk-like eyes were fixed on Chen TaiShou, leaking her killing intent.

However, when Chen Taitou met his fierce gaze, he was so scared that he fell to his knees with a plop. The official hat rolled to the side and beads of sweat dripped down, wetting his good clothes.

The matter that he was most worried about had indeed happened. In that case, don't blame him for being merciless and not remembering old friendships.

Crown Prince, save me! This troublesome citizen had come to the lower official's office to blackmail him time and time again. If this official did not give him the money, he would kill this old official's entire family! There were hundreds of people in this official's family, and they were extremely afraid for a moment. Thus, they agreed to his request. Every year, the imperial government would grant the lower official two taels of silver and he would confiscate them all. For the past few years, this official did not dare to report to the imperial government because he was afraid that his family would encounter an accident. I never thought that he would actually have the guts to kidnap both Crown Prince and princess. Even if this official were to stake my life, I will kill him and avenge Crown Prince. ”

After Chen Taitong's passionate speech, he stood up abruptly and shook off the fat on his body, wiping away the tears that did not exist.

Ye Zichen suddenly waved his hand behind him, while his tiny eyes were filled with a cold killing intent.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of masked men with bows and arrows surrounded them. He lightly snapped his fingers and the black clothed man suddenly changed his direction. Dozens of sharp arrows were aimed at Xiang Tian and Shangguan Jingyan.

”Chen TaiShou, what are you doing?”

Dongfang Chen was extremely furious in his heart, but he was also extremely shocked. A small guard had actually raised so many experts in private. A chill went down his spine.

It seemed that it was time to clean up these so-called ”old officials”.

However, he had forgotten that the so-called lofty Emperor was far away. Chen Taitong was only one of them, as well as many other dark matters that he did not know about. These were things that he could not accept.
