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

Chapter 492: Preparing to Enter the Palace to Rescue People

Beixiang King crumpled up the letter in his hand, pursed his lips into a line, stared at the broken leg on the ground with his eyes as if spitting fire, and said word by word: "The gate of the imperial city is closed, you can only go in but not out. The prince must still be in the imperial city. Go, even if you have to turn the imperial city upside down, you must find the prince."

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the people in the hall hurried away to rescue the prince.

The King of Beixiang was filled with hatred. As long as he could remember, he had never been threatened like this. Now that the hostage was in his hands, he didn't believe that they would really dare to kill the prince.

But not long after the King of Beixiang received his severed leg, someone found an arm on the bulletin board at the entrance of the county government office!

On the thumb of his arm is a green emerald finger with extremely fine green color. There is only one such finger in Beixiang State. It was given to the prince by the king of Beixiang State. It symbolizes power and status and is the only token of the future king of Beixiang State - the Fuyao finger.

It was already dawn when the King of Beixiang received the severed arm.

Overnight, the King of Beixiang seemed to have aged ten years, with a lot of white hair growing between his temples.

All the imperial guards, cavalry, and even the secret guards were mobilized, but they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the prince, and they couldn't even touch the corner of the thief's clothes. This made the King of Beixiang wonder what kind of good-for-nothings he had raised!

For the entire night, everyone in the imperial city of Beixiang was in danger. I have no idea how many people were arrested or killed, because I slept until noon.

When he woke up, Gongsun Wen was discussing something with Huo Ming and Qian Li with his two big panda eyes.

Huo Ming and Qian Li also looked tired, and they drank cup after cup of strong tea to refresh themselves.

I slept longer and longer every day, and was awake shorter and shorter. I could no longer suppress the restless feeling in my body, as if my soul was about to leave my body at any time.

I gently wiped the blood from my nose and said, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Gongsun Wen, who was sitting with his back to me, turned around quickly. When he saw the blood on my face, his eyes darkened and he quickly stood up and walked towards me.

Gongsun Wen walked up to me, held my face up with his hands, and asked with a dark face, "When did you start vomiting blood?"

I pushed his hand away and said, "I'm not vomiting blood, I'm just having a nosebleed. Maybe I've eaten too much mutton recently and I'm getting a sore throat."

Gongsun Wen certainly didn't believe my lies, and his fists clenched tightly again unconsciously. Zheng Xian was willing to let me follow him to take the risk because he believed that my luck was incredible and I would be able to successfully rescue Zhao Zhenyuan.

The facts were just as Zheng Xian had thought. After I came to Beixiang, everything went unexpectedly smoothly.

Many people died before and were unable to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Zhenyuan. As soon as I appeared in Hanhao City, their people inexplicably found out that Zhao Zhenyuan was imprisoned in the palace. When they were at a loss and didn't know how to sneak into the palace to rescue Zhao Zhenyuan, I accidentally successfully kidnapped the prince. I had important bargaining chips in my hands and dared to challenge the King of Beixiang.

Gongsun Wen had long wanted to send me back to Dayu. He knew that my body could no longer hold on, but he was afraid that if I left, all my efforts would be in vain and the plan to rescue Marshal Zhao would fail. That was why he had to resist the urge to send me away.

But now I have started to bleed from all my orifices. If I delay any longer, I’m afraid I’ll die on the road before I get back to Dayu.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Wen suppressed his uneasiness and said, "You know that mutton will cause internal heat, but you still eat so much. Don't eat it anymore. Hurry up and eat something. We will leave after you finish eating."

"Leaving? Where to?" I said as I casually curled my hair and took out a hairband from under the pillow to tie it up.

Gongsun Wen took my hairband and said, "You are so old, but you still don't know how to tie your hair."

As Gongsun Wen spoke, he took out a small comb from his sleeve, combed my hair straight, then tied it up and tied it tightly with a hairband. He did this whole process in one go without any delay.

I touched the round bun on my head and said, "You are good at tying hair."

Gongsun Wen tucked the boy's hair into his sleeves and said, "When I traveled with my teacher, I often had to wash and cook for myself. If I couldn't even tie my hair, I would be beaten to death by my teacher."

I thought about it and said, "You inherited this sharp tongue from your teacher, right?"

Gongsun Wen looked at me coldly, slapped me on the head, and said, "Hurry up and eat breakfast, don't delay. I sent a letter to that dog emperor last night, saying that he would exchange the crown prince for Marshal Zhao at noon today in the Black Woods outside the city. The dog emperor probably won't obey orders, so we have to divide our troops into several groups and make several plans. We must rescue your father today, otherwise your narcolepsy will become more and more serious, and you will die in a foreign land and I will not be able to explain to His Majesty when I return to Beijing."

He is really poisonous. Not only did he curse Zhao Zhenyuan to death, but he also cursed me to death!

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "I decided to go on my own so that you won't despise me."

"I despise you?" Gongsun Wen was so angry that he ignored me. He walked to the bed and pulled Jun Wuling out from under the bed. Jun Wuling's hands and feet were fine and not cut off at all. It was estimated that Gongsun Wen found a dead person and cut off his hands and feet, put on Jun Wuling's clothes and spotted fingers, and deliberately sent them to scare the King of Beixiang.

Jun Wuling slept for two whole days and showed no sign of waking up, but Gongsun Wen was afraid that he would wake up, so he gave him a cup of tea laced with sleeping pills. He was afraid that Jun Wuling would become a fool when he woke up.

Gongsun Wen drugged Jun Wuling and then used his special skills to transform Jun Wuling into a seriously ill old man with white beard and hair, sallow complexion, and weak breathing, as if he was about to die at any moment.

Huo Ming had parked the carriage under the window. Gongsun Wen asked Huo Ming and Qian Li to strip Jun Wu Ling of his clothes and put on ragged coarse cloth for him. Then they wrapped Jun Wu Ling's clothes into a ball and threw them under the bed. Then he asked Huo Ming to carry Jun Wu Ling and jump out of the window, and put Jun Wu Ling on the carriage. Gongsun Wen asked Huo Ming and Qian Li to drive the carriage away. As for where they were going, Gongsun Wen did not tell me.

Gongsun Wen checked out of the hotel and went to the stable with me to ride away on horseback.

We originally had four horses, one for Gongsun Wen and I, and the remaining two horses were loaded with goods, including furs, dried meat, and various Beixiang specialties. At first glance, it really looked like merchants coming to Beixiang to purchase goods.

Gongsun Wen said, "I want to leave the city, and you said you want to walk on your own. Where do you want to go?"

I stroked the ugly fur on Xiao Huihui's body and said, "I am going to enter the palace. I feel that the King of Beixiang will not exchange my father for the Crown Prince."

Gongsun Wen believed in my intuition. He looked up at the sky. It was still early. I usually fell asleep after noon. There was still most of the day, which should be enough for him to pick me up.
