After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I carried Jun Lingfeng back to the inn where I was staying, but I didn't enter through the front door. Instead, I carried Jun Lingfeng to the backyard and hid him in the woodshed.

The drug was so strong that I wasn't afraid that Jun Lingfeng would suddenly wake up.

After hiding Jun Lingfeng, I returned to the guest room as if nothing had happened. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Wen, Huo Ming and Qian Li were all there. I briefly told them what had happened, and Gongsun Wen immediately decided to pack up and check out and leave.

When we left in the carriage, we did not take Jun Lingfeng with us. Firstly, we were afraid that he would be too conspicuous, and secondly, we were afraid that it would be too conspicuous. If the prince was missing, it would definitely attract a large number of soldiers to search, and it would be easy to get caught if we took Jun Lingfeng with us. Anyway, Jun Lingfeng was wrapped in a thick quilt, so he would not freeze to death for a while.

After we left the inn, Gongsun Wen took us to a small farmhouse in the suburbs that they had temporarily rented.

Gongsun Wen and I both changed our appearances. I put on men's clothes again, this time dressing up as a dark and thin servant. As long as I didn't speak, no one could recognize that I was the woman in red with a beautiful face.

Huo Ming and Qian Li had just dismantled and hidden the carriage when a large number of soldiers and officers came to search.

I pretended to be sweeping the snow in the yard, again and again, very seriously; Huo Ming was chopping wood, and Qian Li was cooking.

Gongsun Wen dressed up as a middle-aged man, with a beard pasted on his face and age spots painted on his face. He was lying on the bed in the room, coughing non-stop. If I wasn't so familiar with him, I really wouldn't have recognized him as the suave and noble Taifu.

The officers and soldiers were searching carefully everywhere, shouting and yelling, I couldn't understand a word they said, but Gongsun Wen not only understood it, he could also speak it!

I don’t know what he said to the officers and soldiers, but they soon withdrew.

After the officers and soldiers withdrew, Gongsun Wen immediately asked Huo Ming to lead the horses, and we returned to the city and found an inn to stay in.

The horses Gongsun Wen and I had were too eye-catching, so Gongsun Wen painted them with some yellow paint, making them look yellow and gray, like an old horse with its hair falling out. It was very ugly and not eye-catching at all.

The city's previously empty streets were suddenly put under martial law.

Teams of soldiers kept shuttling through the streets, questioning everyone they met. We didn't know how many checkpoints we had to pass through before we could enter the city.

I was able to get by thanks to Gongsun Wen's wit all along. Although I didn't understand what he said, seeing him calm and serious while talking nonsense, I admired his shamelessness from the bottom of my heart.

After we settled down in the inn, Gongsun Wen helped Huo Ming disguise himself and asked him to take a letter with him and go out.

Huo was dressed up as a beggar, with tattered clothes and a white wig. After he was dressed up, some smelly water was poured on him. At first glance, he looked like a white-haired, ragged, and smelly old beggar.

Gongsun Wen's disguise skills are truly amazing. Even if Huo Ming's mother came, she wouldn't be able to recognize that this was her son.

After Huo Ming left, Qian Li also left quickly under Gongsun Wen's instructions, but they did not leave through the main door. They all jumped out of the window silently and no one noticed their departure.

Not long after, Qian Li came back and jumped in through the window with a person on his shoulders.

When I looked carefully, it turned out to be Jun Wuling.

Jun Wuling was still in a coma and had no idea that he was being carried around the city like a piece of cargo.

After Jun Wuling was brought into the house, Gongsun Wen kicked him under the bed, and kicked him hard twice before kicking him in, as if there was some deep hatred between them.

Not long after, Huo Ming also came back, also jumping in from the window. With him came a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter.

The middle-aged man walked up to Gongsun Wen, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master Gongsun, everything is ready. We can start the action tonight."

Gongsun Wen said, "Don't worry. The dog emperor hasn't started to act desperately yet. Let's wait until night falls and set a few more fires to make him lose his composure."

The middle-aged man replied, "Yes, sir, I will take my leave."

After the middle-aged man left, Gongsun Wen said to me, "This man is Zhou Tong, the commander of the Imperial Cavalry Battalion. He was once your father's subordinate and was extremely loyal to your father. He led people to rescue your father many times, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful and lost many important people. There are many people in Beixiang who came to rescue your father on their own initiative. Some are your father's old subordinates, some are people your father has saved, and some are people who admire your father's character and would not hesitate even if they die."

I didn't understand why Gongsun Wen said all this to me, and I stared at him blankly.

Gongsun Wen paused and said, "Your father is a good man, and an amazing man."

I thought about it and said, "You are right. His biggest failure was marrying Gui Lanting, a vicious woman."

Gongsun Wen......

We couldn't continue chatting that day. Gongsun Wen didn't want to talk to me anymore. He told me to serve the meal and rest early after eating. There was still a tough battle to fight.

Not surprisingly, I fell asleep again before dark.

After nightfall, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. It should have been a quiet night, but because Prince Jun Lingfeng could not be found, the entire imperial city was turned upside down.

Large numbers of soldiers were constantly moving through the streets and alleys, trying to dig deep into the ground to find the prince. Except for me, no one in the imperial city dared to sleep peacefully, fearing that the gates would be suddenly kicked open by soldiers to search for people.

For a time, the entire imperial city was in chaos and no one could live in peace.

After finally getting through the first half of the night, just when everyone was about to fall asleep, suddenly a sharp scream was heard from a private house. Soon the door of the house was kicked open by a large number of soldiers. A man in his underwear was lying on the snow in the yard of the house, with one hand pointing at a toilet not far away. His eyes were wide open and his limbs were stiff. He must have been frightened to death.

The officers and soldiers looked in the direction the man's finger pointed, and saw a human leg hanging on the door of the toilet. The boots on that leg were exactly the cloud-piercing boots with gold-threaded edges that the prince wore!

The leader of the officers and soldiers gasped at the sight of the broken leg, tremblingly took it off, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go to the palace immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

Late at night, a dozen horses entered the palace with the broken leg.

In the Daming Palace, the King of Beixiang looked at the broken leg presented to him, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.

With trembling hands, he picked up the letter that he had thrown on the table. The last sentence was, "Tomorrow at noon, in the black woods outside the city, exchange Marshal Zhao for the prince. If the exchange is not honest, the prince will die. If you agree, a white cloth will be hung on the city tower archway."

The King of Beixiang did not take this naked threat seriously, so he did not respond to the letter all day. Unexpectedly, he received the news of the prince's broken leg in the middle of the night. The King of Beixiang was filled with hatred, regret and anger, and just wanted to tear the instigator into pieces.
