Gu Zichen smiled gently.

However, his eyes were dark like the bottom of a cold valley where sunlight couldn’t reach.

The fifth prince turned his head slightly and gave his trusted aide a look.

The attendant understood and got the soldiers to stand on both sides of the moat.

After Ren Chao and the others dug up the mud while the soldiers brought the mud away.

However, this way, Ren Chao and the others would be guarded by soldiers from all directions.

Even if they wanted to escape at the last minute, it was impossible.

“Boss, what should we do now?”

Seeing that he was about to be implicated, the bandit who was pretending to be a guard couldn’t help but approach Ren Chao and ask in a low voice.

Ren Chao looked around from the corner of his eye. There were soldiers everywhere.

There were also ministers from the Ministry of Works who were communicating at the side.

Their target, Princess Yaoguang, was in the fifth prince’s arms, waving her small hands and giggling sweetly.

Ren Chao gritted his teeth.

He reprimanded in a low voice, “Who am I supposed to ask for the answer?!”

He originally thought that if they kidnapped the princess from the state school, she would definitely panic and call for help.

The state school had guards. If they heard the sound and rushed over to save the princess, it would be troublesome.

That was why Ren Chao thought of pretending to be a guard and tricking the little princess away.

After all, what would a five-year-old child know?

However, seeing that she walked all the way here, Ren Chao felt a deep sense of suspicion.

Did the little princess know who they were and deliberately lured them over?

“What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and get to work. The mud has to be cleaned up before it gets dark.” The fifth prince’s attendant saw Ren Chao and the guard muttering and walked over to urge them.

Ren Chao quickly nodded and resigned himself to fate, continuing to dig mud.

After all, at this point, he couldn’t act rashly.

Otherwise, how could there be any possibility of escape if they were captured by the soldiers?

If they were sent to His Majesty, they would lose their lives!

Gu Zichen narrowed his eyes and looked at the nine bandits who had ulterior motives. They were in the moat and starting to dig seriously.

There was a faint smile on his lips as he said to Gu Nuo’er, who was in his arms, “How about Fifth Brother help you bury their corpses under the mud? What do you think about that?”

After saying that, Gu Zichen went back on his word. “Why don’t I chop off their hands first?”

Gu Nuo’er’s long eyelashes fluttered. “Does Fifth Brother know what they’re here to do?”

“They aren’t the palace’s imperial guards. They claim to be guards who were arranged by Marquis Yongye to come over. However, the soldiers from the military camp that Marquis Yongye took over aren’t dressed like that. Those people look unfamiliar. ”

As Gu Zichen spoke, he suddenly sneered. “Moreover, they said that they’re bringing you back to the palace. This path is the way out of the city. Why did they bring you here for no reason?”

Gu Nuo’er really wanted to say that she had strolled here while eating and buying.

However, it was true that this group of people wanted to scheme against her!

Originally, the child didn’t know that the fifth prince was repairing the city wall with the officials from the Ministry of Works.

The reason she had lured these people here was because there was a government office a little bit further, around the corner.

Moreover, the more people there were, the more beneficial it was for her.

Many people would be attracted here if she were to cry out loudly.

Gu Nuo’er wouldn’t use her powers in situations where she didn’t need to.

Using just a little bit of intelligence was enough to crush these baddies to death.

It was really a pleasant surprise for her to meet her fifth brother here.

Gu Zichen’s eyes were seething with killing intent.

The child patted his shoulder with her fair and soft hand.

“Fifth Brother, don’t be anxious. Aren’t they working for you? We’ll talk after the cleanup is done.”

Gu Nuo’er hadn’t thought of how to deal with these people.

However, when these words fell into Gu Zichen’s ears.

He interpreted it in another way.

Yes, his sister must be saying to kill them after they were done with the work.

To kick someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness was in line with his style. This was very good..
