Chapter 863: How to go
Shen Ming will only be truly gentle when dealing with the person in front of him, and he will have an indifferent look in the face of others, but he will smile when facing the princess. He gently pulled the shredded hair from her sideburns, lowered his voice and asked, "How have you been living here lately?" It's not that I don't want to come and see you, it's that there's too much going on over there. β
"You always say that!"
The princess grimaced at Shen Ming, and hurriedly ran back to Liu Yu's side: "It's all a lie to me!" β
Shen Ming smiled helplessly.
"Master." Seeing the appearance of their family of three, Feng Changqi couldn't help but think of Bai Huan, who was in Meng Liguo and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and immediately frowned. She leaned over to Yu Wuwang's side and asked in a low voice, "Have you already thought of a way to leave the capital?" Can we leave this city on time tomorrow? β
The sorrow between his eyebrows made Yu's hopeless heart sink slightly, he smoothed the wrinkles of Feng Changqi's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You believe me, when did the master deceive you." β
In this way, from knowing Yu Wuwang to the present, there is not a single thing he promised that cannot be completed, and now at this critical juncture, Feng Changqi has no other way than to believe in him.
She nodded vigorously: "I believe that Master will definitely be able to take me back!" β
Although the voice of the two talking was small, it was still heard by Shen Ming, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It seems that you already have an idea in your heart, you have to go out of the city tomorrow." In that case, then I, too, have nothing to say, tomorrow I will order someone to open the city gate and let you out, I hope you will not run into the prince's gang after you leave. β
Yu Wuwang keenly sensed that something was wrong: "The enemy army is very brutal? Will it harm the people who pass by? β
On the way to the capital, they had passed by the prince's camp and had seen the prince himself, and they didn't think she was the kind of person who was extremely vicious, could it be that they had seen the wrong person, or that the regent Shen Ming had the idea of deliberately discrediting the prince? But it's not right to think so, they are just passers-by, and they will never get involved in the civil war of the Liang Kingdom, why does Shen Ming deliberately smear the prince in front of them, isn't this asking for trouble for himself?
Shen Ming's eyes were staring at Yu hopelessly, and in an instant, he could already see that he was confused.
Not knowing what to remember, he smiled again: "I know that you must have heard a lot of rumors on the way to the capital, and you may even have seen those people, but I still have to say that they are only a very few. Most of the prince's army are extremely vicious people dug from the place, those people kill people when they see them, not to mention ordinary people, even the old and weak women and children will be harmed, in the army, the prince himself, and the troops under Shen Haoran's crown can see that the others are all rabble. Shen Ming's gaze turned and fell into the distance, "If it weren't for their incompetence, the capital would not be so peaceful." β
"Childe, they're in this small courtyard!" The two boys said in unison.
The eyes of the people they called Childe widened, and they even wondered if they were mistaken! Although the small courtyard in front of him is not small, but the degree of dilapidation is simply unsightly, he has never even seen a similar building in the capital, a girl like Feng Changqi who has the appearance of a country and a city, really lives in this kind of place?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt disbelievable: "Are you mistaken? β
The two little guys, the people who had quietly followed Feng Changqi before, also knew that the facts in front of them were shocking to the point of disbelief, but they still insisted on saying it.
"That girl is the small courtyard she entered, he never came out after he walked in, it makes no sense that this is not where she lives!"
Childe furrowed his brows.
Before he could figure out the possibility of the matter, a black shadow came with the cold wind, and in an instant, a cold feeling appeared on his neck.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? β
Childe's eyes rolled, and when he saw what the object around his neck was, he almost fainted! The thing around his neck was none other than a sharp sword! The hilt of the long sword was in the hands of a man in a guard's shirt, and the other party's expression was solemn, as if the next second would make the long sword cut his neck!
Childe was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wait to slap his previous self! He really shouldn't covet a woman with a lord, look, isn't that getting into trouble! Knowing that the other party was close to Shen Manman, it couldn't be an ordinary person, and he also took someone to the door to check the situation.
It's a pity that it's too late, just like being coerced by the sword now, no matter how much Gongzi regrets it, he can't change the facts, so he can only cry and say with a sad face: "The hero spares his life, we, we are just passing by here!" β
"Hehe, I found out when you walked into the alley just now, just to observe your actions so I didn't make a noise, I didn't expect the catastrophe to come, you still have the heart to tell lies in front of me, it seems that this sword is not sharp enough, and it can't scare people."
As he spoke, his hand moved slightly, and the long sword across Childe's neck also moved slightly.
He was so frightened that he was about to faint, and shouted repeatedly: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" β
At this time, it was completely dark, and some places in the capital city may still be very noisy, or even as bright as day, but this alley is different, the alley is dark all around, only this small courtyard is still lit, and the place that should be quiet has more sounds begging for mercy at this time, and the people in the courtyard naturally feel strange.
When they pushed open the courtyard gate, they saw the scene of Gongzi and his party being taken down by Shen Ming's guards.
Shen Ming frowned, dissatisfied with their lack of neatness and quietness, "What are you doing here?" β
The head of the guards said: "Your Highness, your subordinates saw these people sneaking around in the alley, thinking that they were going to be unfavorable to the princess, so they knocked them down without permission. I never expected that this person would dare to do it, he insisted that he didn't do anything, and even yelled and disturbed His Highness........ I hope that His Highness will forgive his sins! β
Shen Ming glanced at the son, who was looking at them dumbfounded.
After the rebellion of the Liang Dynasty, the crown prince left the palace overnight, and the other highnesses also fled from the capital, and now the only person who remains in the capital can be called His Royal Highness, there is only one person left! There is also the princess in the mouth of the guards, who else can there be besides the princess of the regent Shen Ming who is so precious? Thinking back to the relationship between the Shen family and Shen Ming, Gongzi regretted not being at the beginning, if he had known that Feng Changqi and the others might be related to Shen Ming, he would rather poke his eyes than come over! Thinking of his own schemes, he just wanted to slap himself twice: "Your Highness spare your life!" β
His entourage also knelt on the ground one after another, and the timid even trembled: "Your Highness spares ....... life"
Shen Ming frowned, he didn't care about what these people had done, what kind of background their family was, the only thing he cared about was that they disturbed the princess, this crime alone was enough to make them die a dozen times! Shen Ming calmly asked the guards to drag them down, and as for how to send them down, wait until the interrogation is over to make a decision.
"Subordinates obey!"
The guards didn't dare to let Shen Ming wait for a long time, and as soon as the words fell, they had already dragged people out of the alley, and no one wanted to struggle and beg for mercy, all of them were beaten unconscious without exception, including Gongzi.
Feng Changqi stared at their backs as they drifted away, and applied thoughtfully: "Have I ever seen that person?" β
Yu Wuwang covered her eyes without hesitation: "You haven't seen it." β
"Let go of me!"
Just as everyone was looking at the group that had been dragged away, the princess suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked back and saw that not far away, the princess was slapping Shen Ming's hand hard, trying to get him to let go, but Shen Ming's hand seemed to be made of steel, no matter how hard she tried, she still didn't move, obviously she didn't want to let go. It's really strange, these two people were talking well just now, how come it took a short time for the two of them to become like this?
The most confused person was still Liuyu, seeing the princess struggling, she hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, be careful, don't step on the skirt!" β
The princess glanced at her, her eyes red: "Help me!" β
"Help? Help what? β
The princess sniffed hard, and her words contained many grievances: "I don't want to go back to the palace, but he insists on taking me away......"
Shen Ming said calmly: "Doesn't the princess miss me very much?" β
"Although I miss you, I don't want to go back with you!" Compared with Shen Ming, who has been with her for many years, the princess wants to be by Liuyu's side more, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how many dangers she will encounter, she doesn't want to leave! Even if her husband Shen Minglai came, she didn't want to leave!
"I'm going to stay, I'm with themβ"
Before the princess could finish her words to express her firm belief, Shen Ming's hand was held in front of her with a handkerchief. I don't know what mystery is hidden in the veil, Fang was still noisy, and the princess, who refused to leave Liuyu at all, immediately quieted down, her eyes full of determination were slightly closed, and she fell back in a drowsy state.
Liu Yu was shocked, and so did the others: "Princess! β
Shen Ming didn't know when he walked around behind the princess, steadily hugged the person into his arms, and then hugged him: "Don't worry, that handkerchief is just some incense powder that can make people fall asleep, I know that she will definitely not agree to leave with me, so I thought of using this method." The war is about to begin, and it's hard to guarantee that news of her being here won't leak out, and it's safer for her to go back to the palace than to be with someone who is about to leave you. β
Shen Ming came over today, in addition to telling them something, the most important thing is to bring people back.
