"Crown Prince probably doesn't want to let his good friend get hurt, right?" Gongsun was extremely cold. The sharp tip of his dagger was pointed at Zhao Jing's carotid artery.

"Gongsun Zhen, you're courting death!" Zhong Fu gritted his teeth. "Let him go. This prince will let you live!"

"If we release him, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape anymore!" Gongsun Zhen turned around and glanced at his underlings. Everyone began to slowly retreat while protecting Gongsun Zhen.

Zhao Jing followed Gongsun Zhen's steps as he retreated. His gaze landed on Zhong Fu's back as he quickly approached.

As soon as Cobb summoned him in, he kept his attention on Zhong Fu, clasping his fists and bowing. "How is the Crown Prince?" he asked. Are you hurt? I heard that the crown prince was robbed.

"Prime Minister, no need to be courteous!" Zhong Fu's tone was distant.

Hearing this, Cobalt stood on the spot, a look of embarrassment on his face. This was inevitable. Although it was a bit early, the timing was just right! At least this time, Zhong Fu owed him another favor.

However, he was stunned as he waited for Ke Er to turn around. His eyes widened as he stared at Zhao Jing standing beneath Gongsun Zhen's saber. He raised his hand, "This …" You... How is that possible? "

"The Prime Minister thinks it's very strange?" Zhao Jing opened his mouth.

Everyone quieted down. Even Gongsun Zhen's heart thumped loudly, as he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Zhong Fu wasn't surprised that Zhao Jing knew Cobalt. It was just that he felt resentment in his heart. Cobb had actually changed his name to Li Rui to deceive him! Of course, now was not the time to pursue this matter. If Cobb could save Little Mute, then he, Zhong Fu, would not be an ungrateful person!

"You …" Cobb was stunned for a long moment.

"What, the Prime Minister doesn't recognize me?" Zhao Jing pursed his lips, his eyes cold.

Uncle Ke took a few steps forward and immediately kneeled down respectfully, "This official, Uncle Ke, calls for your presence. Long live the Emperor!"

In that instant, all the soldiers kneeled down and shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Zhong Fu acted like his soul had left his body. He stood there and stared unblinkingly at Zhao Jing. "You …" "You are the Emperor?"

"Your majesty?" Gongsun Zhen's hand that was holding the knife had already turned soft. His entire face was pale to the extreme. But as things stood, he already had no way out. "Your majesty?" Please give the order for everyone to leave. Otherwise, this one will not dare to guarantee the safety of the Emperor's life! "

"Everyone stay put, no one is allowed to follow!" Zhao Jing spoke in a faint voice, but his gaze was focused on one of Ke Boyu's men. A faint light flickered in his eyes.

Cobb ruminated for a while and then stood up, "This humble servant …" "Yes, master!"

"Little Mute!" Zhong Fu became anxious.

Cobb grabbed him. "What are you doing?" Such recklessness, are you not afraid of causing the Emperor trouble?! "

Zhong Fu gritted his teeth. "Gongsun Zhen, do you know what you're doing? You dare to hold His Majesty hostage? Your crime is the same as regicide, and you deserve to be punished for it! Aren't you afraid of the nine familial extermination? "

"Now that things have come to this, do I have a way out?" As he spoke, Gongsun Zhen took Zhao Jing and left the courtyard.

The courtyard door was slammed shut. Zhong Fu gouged out Ke Bo Li and said, "If anything happens to the Emperor, you as his subjects, I'm afraid you won't have a good life either!"

"Your Highness's words are wrong. Wherever the emperor is present, there will be a Regent protecting you!" He narrowed his eyes and looked around, "He might be in the vicinity this time!"

"You mean, the Regent doesn't know anything about the East?"

At that time, Zhao Jing's expression was somewhat strange, as if he had some sort of hidden meaning. For a moment, not even Ke Bo Li could figure out what this little Emperor wanted to tell him. Indicating him not to chase? Could it be that Dongfang Wenming was currently hiding in the dark and not even the little emperor could find him, so the little emperor decided to use him as bait?

"Uncle Ke suddenly straightened his body. Could it be Zhao Jing …?" Forcing the East not to show its face?

There were a few carriages parked in the backyard. It seemed like Gongsun was already prepared and was determined to leave.

"Grand Master, the items have yet to be prepared …" The servants hurriedly carried the items onto the carriages and tied them up with ropes.

"It's too late, let's go now! "Let's go!" Gongsun Zhen bellowed.

Would he be able to safely escape after kidnapping an emperor? Naturally, he had to be light and travel as far as possible. As Zhong Fu had said, kidnapping an emperor was akin to murdering a king. His punishment was death! They were going to form a family of nine!

Zhao Jing's hands and feet were tied as he sat securely in the carriage, coldly staring at the panicking Gongsun Zhen.

Gongsun Zhen kept swallowing his saliva, his entire body was trembling violently!

In the carriage, only the two of them and a guard were guarding the side.

Gongsun Zhen and Zhao Jing looked at each other in dismay.

Zhao Jing stared at him without blinking. "Gongsun Zhen, you think that if you kidnap your son, you won't be able to escape from him. In the future, Rising Sun King's Manor will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth, so you don't dare to cause trouble.

Cold sweat rolled down Gongsun's face. This time, it was really the tiger's head that was covered in flies. He was courting death!

"Your wishful thinking is very good. Whether it is because you are afraid of the unknown in the East or because you are ordered by him, it is safer to touch a commoner like me than to touch the Crown Prince! But you never would have thought that the crown prince was only the crown prince, and I … His Majesty is the current master of the Grand Xia! " Zhao Jing smiled, his smile gentle. "Gongsun Zhen, in this world, there aren't many people who can see the Prime Minister kneel and bow!"

"You count as one!" Zhao Jing chuckled. "You took over the warehouse and already made the preparations to escape. Thus, regardless of whether or not Dongfang Ming gave you the order, you would still leave!" But now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave! "

The horse carriage quickly left the city, and the road was unobstructed.

When they were out of the city, Gongsun Zhen was finally relieved. "So what if you are the Emperor? Now that you are in my hands, everyone must refrain from shooting at you! Also, the Emperor's words would probably not come true! We have already left the city. Even if Dongfang Wenming doesn't notice it now, it will be too late! "

"Grand Master!" The carriage came to a sudden halt.

Gongsun Zhen's face was slightly tense. He immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage window and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Grand Master, the river surface has been sealed off by an official ship. Without Lord Lin's token, no one is allowed to cross!" The condescending voice trembled, "We..." Being trapped here, I can't escape! "

Zhao Jing snorted. She and Dongfang Wenming could be considered together day and night. For the past two years, she couldn't compete with Dongfang Wenming, much less a scrooge like Gongsun Zhen!

Who was it in the East? That's a damn Lord! He was also a chess player!

Gongsun Gongsun sat helplessly in the carriage like a defeated rooster. The words "Decline" were written all over his face.

"Where is the East?" Zhao Jing asked.

Gongsun Zhen smiled mournfully. He raised his head to look at Zhao Jing. "Because of you alone, my family will not be able to protect you!" It's all because of you! " He coldly pointed the blade at Zhao Jing. "You're such a good emperor, why are you running around the Subduing Prefecture?" Why did you come here to cause trouble when you were rich and had good food and drinks in the capital? Because of you, I've worked so hard for so many years. He had been crippled! Since you are the emperor, let me see whether you are the emperor or the regent! "

Zhao Jingyan laughed. "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"

Gongsun Zhen looked at her. "What did you say?"

"Dongfang Wenming definitely won't allow me to die in someone else's hands!" Zhao Jing sighed, as if he was somewhat helpless. "My life can only be his! Isn't that broken wrist of yours the best proof? "

As he lifted the broken wrist, Gongsun Zhen's face turned even paler, and his entire body lost its color. The knife could no longer be picked up. At this moment, all that was left was a pale white colour of despair! The next moment, Gongsun Zhen asked with a face full of despair, "Please be merciful, Your Majesty. For all these years, even if I didn't do anything, I still have some hard work to do in Danzhou. This lowly one is willing to give up everything in exchange for my life! "

Zhao Jing's expression didn't change. "Then, first answer a few of my questions."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gongsun Zhen immediately lit up with hope as he looked eagerly at Zhao Jing.

"Are you using knockout drugs to bring me and the Crown Prince out of the prison?" Zhao Jing asked.

Gongsun Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Whether it's the emperor or the regent, this lowly one cannot afford to offend him!"

Zhao Jing sneered. Gongsun Zhen was indeed very smart. He neither admitted nor denied this answer. He had undoubtedly told Zhao Jing from the side that even if this matter wasn't directed by the East, it was still a matter that the East didn't agree to!

Actually, it made sense to him. He had already lost an arm, and yet he still dared to scheme against Zhao Jing. Wasn't this an act that he already knew the answer to? Since Gongsun was about to leave, there was no need for him to make any more mistakes. He had to take his own life!

Unless someone threatened him!

"We understand!" If Dongfang Wenming was the first to agree, then it meant that Dongfang Mingming still had a trump card. As for the so-called backup plan, it was probably aimed at Jing Hong and the people from the Demon Palace!

What a good move!

If it wasn't for Gongsun Jianwu, who wanted to run away, Zhao Jing probably wouldn't have found any clues!

Dongfang Mingming truly deserved to be called Dongfang Mingming. This move of his was filled to the brim with energy. Zhao Jing … He lost almost completely. This was because back at Gongsun Zhenren's mansion, Jing Hong had already appeared for Zhao Jing. He still hadn't gone too far, so perhaps he was right behind him!

However, what the East did not want was this kind of effect, this kind of result!

If she thought about it carefully, since the moment Dongfang Wenming blocked her at the entrance of the alleyway, everything seemed to have been arranged. After the murder in the courtyard, they encountered the amulet, Zhong Fu, and then the murder case of the Breaking Dawn Pavilion.

Originally, he had thought that they would be able to eliminate all of the people from the Demon Palace just by coming to rob the prison. Who knew that a group of black-clothed people would suddenly appear, and in the end, it would all be Gongsun Gongsun's fault.

Smart as Dong Fang Ming, he quickly adjusted his strategy and let her be the bait again! He wanted Gongsun Zhen to use the smoke and bring Zhao Jing and Zhong Fu away with him!

The storage room seemed to have been filled with wine jars and kerosene, quicklime, and empty bottles. After that, so many of the guards were unable to block the mist, allowing Zhao Jing and Zhong Fu to escape from the cellar and fall into Jing Hong's line of sight.

It was a pity that this was not the territory of the East. This time, it was Cobalt who stirred up trouble within the East.

All of this made Zhao Jing feel cold, a bone-chilling chill!

That man's thoughts were terrifyingly profound. He was playing with everyone, even to the point of … If it weren't for Gongsun Zhenren's act being too excessive, Zhao Jing probably wouldn't even have realized that he had been so stupid!

From the beginning to the end, she had been part of his scheme and had never deviated from it!

The feeling of being schemed against was not easy to bear. Zhao Jing thought that he could quietly stir up some conflict between Qi Yunshan and Dongfang Wenming, but he didn't expect … When they were almost there, they were played in the palm of their hands!

Zhao Jing sighed and leaned against the wall of the carriage. She had been led around by Dongfang Wenming for such a long time, so it was time for her to counterattack! Lowering her eyebrows, she silently looked at the rope that bound her hands and feet …

The first thing that came to his mind was the news of Zhao Jing being kidnapped by Gongsun Zhen to leave the city.

Clutching his clothes, Dongfang Wenming walked out of the door with a cold expression.

Zhou Zhiqian silently followed behind him. This Gongsun was truly courting death. He actually dared to run away! What the Prince hated the most in this life was deceit!

Gongsun Zhen had violated his taboo.
