The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 147: Killing a Fourth Prince

The fourth prince looked at the endless horseshoe prints, and was about to order the guards behind him to speed up, but suddenly a young man shouted for help rushed out from the forest beside him, he saw the young man was dressed in coarse cloth, and was about to ignore it, this time From time to time, another group of men in black chased them out from the dense forest. The fourth prince looked at the group of men in black and instinctively thought of a young man dressed in coarse cloth. How could he attract such a group of masked men to chase him down?Unless the boy knows some ulterior secrets, so someone wants to take his life.

After the fourth prince made a quick analysis, he decided to meddle in this nosy business, and he said to the guards behind him: "Save that young man, subdue those men in black, and remember to keep them alive. This hall needs to know their origins." .”

The more than 20 guards behind him got the order and rushed forward to rescue Zhou Hui.The leading man in black thought it was a group of rich princes going hunting in the mountains, and seeing that he was about to catch up with Zhou Hui, he had no intention of retreating, but when he saw clearly that the leading man in fine clothes was the fourth prince, it was too late to retreat, because The guards behind the fourth prince had already charged towards them on horseback.

In fact, the leader of the masked people is Guan Peng. In order to help Jing Zhaoyin solve this difficult matter, and to marry Rouer as his wife as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to lead people to take risks. He thought that with the strength of him and his brothers, Getting rid of a kid is extremely easy, but he didn't expect that Zhou Hui's feet are so good, and he also knows how to hide and escape. If it wasn't for the footprints on the snow, he might have lost him. He chased him and beheaded him on the spot, but unexpectedly killed another fourth prince.

In the blink of an eye, the guards on horseback had arrived in front of Guan Peng, and he must not be exposed. With such a thought in mind, he said to his subordinates: "Brothers, you must not fall into the hands of these people, let's fight out!" .”

This group of people are all Jianghu people who are loyal to Guan Peng. They know that Guan Peng is for the woman they love, so they don't hesitate to stain their hands with blood. Cheng Yaojin rescued Zhou Hui, their first thought was to save Guan Peng, so one of them said: "Brother, we brothers hold back this group of people, you retreat first, our brothers are strong in martial arts, we have our own way to escape. "

Guan Peng waited for this sentence, but if he agreed immediately, everyone's hearts would be chilled, and he said loudly: "When we were sworn brothers, we made an oath to share blessings and difficulties together. How can we leave you alone and escape alone, today we brothers will live together, and die together." After he finished speaking, he swung his knife and rushed to the front.

Sure enough, the Jianghu people were deceived by the created illusion, and their eyes were moved. At the same time, they also made a decision. The two of them forcibly supported Guan Peng and quit the fight, and the rest of the dozen or so people entangled the 20th prince of the fourth prince. More guards.

"Young master, that leader must have been sent by An Guogong to kill me. He is an important witness. We cannot let him escape. I beg you to capture him alive." Zhou Hui always felt that the voice of the masked leader was familiar. Being carried away by someone, he felt anxious, and asked for help when the identity of the Fourth Prince was still unclear.

As soon as the fourth prince heard that the young man had a feud with An Guogong, he didn't ask carefully, so he gave an order to his guards: "You don't have to be soft on this group of people. If anyone stops and kills them without mercy, just leave the leader to be masked." Face people's lives."

The originally restrained guards received an order, changed their tactics, and used vicious swords. After a while, they beheaded the dozen or so men in black. Seeing that there were three more people heading towards the dense forest, they chased after them.

Guan Peng didn't expect the fourth prince's hidden guard to be so skilled, so quickly wiped out the mouths of that group of people, but this would save him trouble. Thinking that there were two other people standing in the way, he took advantage of the two of them not to get in the way. Prepared, swung a knife and chopped off the heads of the two, and then fled with lightness kung fu.

The fourth prince's guards chased him for a long way, and saw that there was no one in front of him, and there were no footprints left on the snow. They guessed that the man might have escaped by performing light kung fu, so they had to give up the pursuit and return to report to the fourth prince.

Knowing that the leading masked man had escaped, a look of pity flashed across the fourth prince's eyes, and at the same time, he regretted that he shouldn't have killed all those men in black, and he should have left him alive. Maybe he could ask something .

After hearing what the guards said, the young man knew that the one who saved him was the fourth son of the current emperor. Thinking that the fourth prince had no blood relationship with An Guogong, Zhou Hui knelt down together and said, "I beg the fourth prince to be the master of Caomin, Caomin!" I want to defend my parents and the villagers, and sue An Guogong for fabricating military exploits and beheading more than a hundred people in my village."

Zhou Hui's words aroused the fourth prince's great interest. He looked at Zhou Hui and asked kindly: "You tell me the matter in detail. If An Guogong really falsely reported his military achievements, I will definitely do it for you and you." His parents and villagers seek justice."

Ever since Guan Peng led people to kill Zhou Hui, Jing Zhaoyin has been fidgeting, fearing that something might happen midway. In order to know whether Guan Peng will succeed as soon as possible, Jing Zhaoyin specially ordered his confidants to wait at the back door of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.

After Guan Peng escaped down Beiqifeng Mountain, he changed his night clothes, led the horse hidden in the forest, and drove the horse to Xindu City. He rode all the way to the outside of the city, then abandoned the horse and walked into the city. Go straight to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.

At the back door of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, seeing Jing Zhaoyin's confidant waiting at the back door, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Zhong, did your lord ask you to wait for me here?"

Uncle Zhong scrutinized Guan Peng's expression carefully, and said in a concerned tone: "Your Excellency was worried about your safety, so he asked me to wait here. Fortunately, you came back safely, so go to the study room! It will also put your mind at ease."

Guan Peng nodded, and followed Uncle Zhong to the study. Watching Guan Peng enter the study, Uncle Zhong tactfully closed the door and guarded it outside. At the same time, he was all focused on the conversation in the room.

Jing Zhaoyin was naturally concerned about whether Zhou Hui had solved it, but no matter how eager he wanted to know the answer, he couldn't ask at this time. He only looked at Guan Peng carefully, and he was relieved to see that he was not injured. Said: "Thank God, you finally came back safely. Rou'er was worried about your safety and sent someone to ask several times."

Hearing that Rou'er was worried about him, Guan Peng's heart warmed up, and he said with a smile: "My lord, haven't I returned safely?"

"If I knew that you wanted to kill Zhou Hui, I would definitely not let you take risks. If someone recognizes you, you will die. Do you want Rou'er to feel sad for you?" Jing Zhao Yin blamed softly, while waiting for him to take the initiative to speak about Zhou Hui.

Thinking of his promise to Rou'er, Guan Peng showed disappointment on his face and said: "Father-in-law, I missed, I'm sorry for you and Rou'er, I let you down."
