Forced love, an inescapable fate

Chapter 75 The Muddy Waters of the Battle for the Crown Prince

After hearing these words, Li Feng's expression became heavy and he did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he seemed to make up his mind.

"Your Highness, this plan is worth a try, but remember not to act impulsively. If anything unexpected happens, send a signal immediately. We can split into two groups, but we can't go too far away. I'll lead some men to explore the way ahead."

Seeing that Li Feng finally agreed, Jiang Ci couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Feng Zong wants to completely stand on his side, it is far from enough to rely on Mu Qingli's encouragement behind the scenes. Only real strength can make him truly choose to stand on his side. Whether he can return to Shangjing safely this time is the best proof, so even if it is risky, he must give it a try.

He nodded, "Okay, let's follow Captain Li's instructions."

After allocating the personnel, Li Feng led his men forward. Two hours later, Jiang Ci and his party set off.

It took two days for the news of the failed assassination to reach Shangjing.

Inside the restaurant's private room, the eldest prince, Jiang Xian, had a gloomy expression on his face. He kicked the attendant who had brought the news to the ground and cursed him harshly, "Waste."

The Third Prince Jiang Chao, who was sitting beside him, leisurely waving a folding fan, said calmly, "Brother, don't be angry. This is just the first batch. There are still a lot of people behind. Even if the Sixth Prince is a martial arts master, so what? They brought more than 200 people with them this time. They can't hold on. Besides, there are those adults here. If they fail this time, there will be next time."

At this time, they didn't know that the adults they had placed in the position had already been killed by Jiang Ci's men.

Seeing Jiang Chao leisurely waving his folding fan, the eldest prince Jiang Xian said sarcastically, "Third brother, you're really not in a hurry at all. I never saw you this relaxed when we were fighting before. What? Do you want that loser Jiang Ci to get involved in the turbulent battle for the crown prince position? We can't call him a loser now. After all, the news just came back said that our sixth prince is very skilled and most of the assassins we sent out were killed by him. So, how can you be so calm, third brother?"

After Jiang Xian finished speaking, the person who was still waving the folding fan stopped instantly and asked in disbelief.

"What did you say? That little loser knows martial arts? How is that possible? The Fifth Princess of Qi clearly said that Jiang Ci is a loser who allows himself to be bullied. How could he possibly know martial arts?"

Jiang Xian looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think I'm joking? The news that came in said that his kung fu is not inferior to that of Li Feng."

Jiang Chao's face suddenly became heavy. He closed the folding fan in his hand, stood up and paced around the box.

"In this case, we have underestimated this little royal brother. We didn't expect him to hide so well all these years. Even the people in the Qi royal family didn't notice anything. In this case, it is even more impossible for him to return safely. He is unfortunately occupying the position of the legitimate son. If those old guys in the court knew that he is not as incompetent as the rumors said, I am afraid they would clamor to make him the master of the Eastern Palace. No, we have to send more people. Royal brother, I will go back and tell those people I have in the palace to leave now. That little loser cannot come back."

After saying these words, the third prince hurried back with his men.

Jiang Xian watched the person leave, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

They have been fighting for so many years and still haven't decided who is the better. How could they let a green boy compete with them for that position? Even if he is not as incompetent as the rumors say, even if he knows martial arts, facing the endless pursuit, I don't believe he can escape unscathed.

"Go, send more people, and deliver the news to the Second and Fourth Princes' residences. Once they know this, I don't believe they will be able to sit still."

"Yes."

......

Late at night, Wen Mansion.

Wen Muchuan stroked the white cat lying on his legs with one hand and supported his chin with the other hand, listening to the news brought back by the spy, with a half-smile on his face.

After the spy finished speaking, he stretched out his voice and said, "You said that our little loser knows Kung Fu, and his Kung Fu is not bad. This is interesting news. However, it is a bit difficult for him to escape from the tiger's mouth with Kung Fu alone. I don't know if the little loser has a good brain. If it is, there is a glimmer of hope. If he is a stupid and rude man, I am afraid he can only die in the tiger's mouth. However, this scene is quite exciting. Ah Jiu, you also take people to stir up trouble. My good brother specially sent someone to bring me a letter saying that this little loser is someone his sweetheart values. He asked this Taifu to do a little work to help him out. That's all. At this critical moment, just help."

Ajiu looked up and looked at his master with a little surprise, but seeing his master's half-smile, he finally just nodded.

After Ajiu left, Wen Muchuan petted the cat intermittently.

"Susu, what kind of person is the girl my good brother likes? I'm a little curious. But she didn't come back with that little loser this time. If she had come with me, maybe I could have sent her out of kindness and helped them deal with those paper tigers. Who knew she didn't come? Forget it, I'll stay out of it. But this drama, this Master, is inexplicably looking forward to it."

The kitten lying on his legs stretched comfortably, then changed its position and lay down again.

As for Jiang Ci's side, they abandoned the heavy objects, and the soldiers took off their armor and changed into clothes worn by ordinary people, which greatly reduced the weight and made them travel much faster. Since they were taking a small road and there were soldiers disguised as civilians in front, behind, and on both sides to explore the way, they did not encounter any killers in the past two days. However, they did not let down their guard and remained cautious, especially Li Feng, who was always on edge.

For safety reasons, they chose to travel overnight. Finally, on the sixth day, they arrived at Dingzhou, which was less than a hundred miles away from Shangjing. The two teams arrived at the gathering place smoothly.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Li Feng finally felt relieved. Who could understand how nervous and frightened he had been along the way, afraid that someone might have an accident?

But in this way, he also admired Jiang Ci from the bottom of his heart. It was because of his plan that they were able to arrive in Dingzhou so smoothly.

Although the young man in front of him looked tired, he was still in good spirits. He had become friends with the soldiers, and the soldiers also liked this humble Sixth Prince.

Although Li Feng is straightforward, he is also quite emotional. After seeing the interaction between Jiang Ci and the soldiers, he felt a little more favorable towards Jiang Ci. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder with admiration in his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's walk together for the rest of the journey. Don't worry, even if it costs me my life, I will send you back to Beijing safely."

Jiang Ci smiled softly upon hearing this, knowing that Captain Li considered his performance to be satisfactory.
