The Regent's Koi Princess

next day

Regent's House

In the study, Jiang Che sat on the chair at the desk with a gloomy face.

He raised his hand, pinched his brows, sighed, and then slowly exhaled. Then, he opened his eyes and looked coldly at Chen Zheng standing opposite him.

"So, no one knew when the princess left the mansion? Are all the guards in the mansion dead? Huh?

How could a princess with only mediocre kung fu and a little boy with no kung fu at all slip out of the mansion under the noses of so many guards without being discovered?

Could it be that the princess was able to perform a magical transformation, or turned into a butterfly and flew away?

And what about Shadow? What's the point of asking him to follow the princess?

I really can't figure it out. Could it be that everyone in the mansion is asleep? And what about the guards who patrol the night?"

Chen Zheng stood there with his head down, listening to his prince's scolding, not daring to breathe.

Then again, doesn’t the prince know what kind of person his princess is?

For a person with a lot of evil intentions, if she doesn't kill you, it's a kindness to you.

But what can we do?

Who made me a slave?

But then again, if his little princess doesn't go out to play, she will have to be knocked unconscious.

Even at the risk of being punished, he had to reason with his prince.

"Your Majesty, you should understand the princess's personality. If she really wants to leave the house, she has plenty of ways to sneak out with her clever brain.

With the princess's hundreds of minds, how can we ordinary people be her opponents? Even if you are in the mansion, what can you do? Can you protect her?

It's not that I look down on anyone. If the princess really wants to cheat someone, she can sell that person out and have him count the money for her.

The princess doesn't have much martial arts skills, but she is very courageous. If she really wants to do something, even the king of heaven can't stop her.

However, based on my understanding of the princess, the only one who can attract her to run away now is Zhao Shizong.

Therefore, I think that the princess must have gone to Western Liao.

Just think about it, Zhao Zhoucheng's right-hand men were Nanping and Xiliao.

Lin Qingyue and Lord Tang went to fight in Nanjing, but Zhao Shizong did not send anyone over.

I think given the princess's personality, she will definitely go and find a way to deal with Zhao Shizong."

Chen Zheng's heart was filled with undercurrents, but he looked more respectful on the surface. The complaints in his heart were surging like an undercurrent.

He stole a glance at Jiang Che and saw that the prince had a frown on his face and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes. His anxiety and anger over the princess's missing whereabouts were intertwined into a complex web of emotions.

He secretly complained: "Princess, you are really something. Why can't you wait for the prince to come back and have a good talk with him? Why do you run away secretly?

You really use this trick of escaping from the shell to perfection. You can easily avoid so many guards in the mansion. You are really awesome.

But don't you know that the prince will get angry? When the prince gets angry, we, the guards, will suffer.

It is truly unfortunate to have such an unreliable princess."

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he could foresee the waves that would be stirred up inside and outside the palace due to the search for the princess.

The situation in the court is changing rapidly now, and we don't know what the situation is in Nanjing yet, and now you have brought this upon us.

Even if the prince had three heads and six arms, he would be overwhelmed!

She really is a person who causes a lot of worry.

Look at his prince, if he continues like this, he will definitely become bald.

In fact, even if Chen Zheng didn't say it, Jiang Che could guess that his courageous little princess must have gone to Western Liao.

If the situation in the court had not been unstable, he would have definitely gone there personally to capture her and bring her back to give her a good beating.

But he knew in his heart that if Tang Baokun left Dijing, it would be equivalent to taking away one-third of Dijing's military forces.

It is impossible for Zhao Zhoucheng to just wait patiently for news from Nanjing. He will definitely do something. And now, the only person he can count on is his son who is guarding the border.

This little thing just knows how to make fun of people all day long.

Others live like a master after getting a wife, but he is different. He lives like a father before he even gets a wife. If he has a child in the future, he will become a grandson.

But what can you do? You have to continue to pamper the princess you carefully selected, even if you are exhausted.

However, since that little thing dared to go to Western Liao, with her intelligence, she would definitely have a plan to deal with it.

After figuring this out, Jiang Che actually felt relieved.

"Where's Shadow?"

"Your Majesty, Shadow has already gone out to look for the princess' whereabouts at noon.

I guess this should be…"

Before Chen Zheng could finish his words, Feng Bo, the palace's butler, knocked on the study door.

"My Lord, there is news from Shadow."

Jiang Che quickly sat up straight and glanced at Chen Zheng lazily. The latter understood and walked over to open the door.

Chen Zheng looked at Feng Bo and nodded, then he took the message tube from Feng Bo's hand and without delay, he quickly handed it to his prince.

Looking at the small bamboo tube handed over by Chen Zheng, Jiang Che did not hesitate. He directly poured out the letter and read it quickly at a glance.

Shadow simply wrote in the letter: "Your Majesty, I have found the whereabouts of the princess. She and her Beggars' Sect disciples have already set off for Western Liao."

Ah!

Sure enough.

This little thing is a worry.

Jiang Che refolded the letter and placed it in the drawer of his desk.

He looked up at Chen Zheng and ordered: "Reply to Shadow, if he loses the princess again this time, he can just find a place to bury himself.

If I am not mistaken, when the princess takes the Beggar Gang disciples to Western Liao, she will not take the official road. In order not to attract attention, she will definitely choose the small road.

And she would not hire a carriage, she would definitely choose to go on foot.

After all, the princess's personality is that, besides being nosy, she is more playful. She will definitely not give up this opportunity and will definitely show up wherever there is excitement.

In addition, a message was sent to Fan Wenlan of the Tiger Eagle Light Cavalry, asking him to leave two people to continue to keep an eye on the Black Wind Hall, and for the others to withdraw and ambush secretly at the checkpoint leading to Western Liao.

No matter what the cost, he must stop the princess.

If you really can't stop her, let Fan Wenlan stay by the princess' side and guard her. If the princess chooses to attack Zhao Shizong, let Fan Wenlan assist her."

When Chen Zheng heard this, he immediately perked up. His princess was truly amazing. She had made his prince so angry, yet his prince still had to consider her in everything.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

……

Fifteen miles north of the city

As for Lin Xi, in order to avoid being discovered by Jiang Che, she took Sun Yan, Chen Dake and others and ran away overnight.

They rode non-stop for three hours and were already quite far away from the capital, so they stopped at this small temple to rest.

In the dilapidated temple, Lin Xi found a clean place to sit on the ground. Xiao Guizi quickly took out a kettle and handed it to Lin Xi.

"Master, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Lin Xi didn't hesitate. He opened the lid of the kettle, tilted his head back, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He sighed, "My parents are not as dear as cold water!"
