The prince is very cruel

"Guan Ning, you dare to stop me from catching the murderer?" the third prince threatened.

Fang Zheng was already trembling with fear, his heart and liver were broken.

Guan Ning sneered and looked straight at Li Si.

"Don't try to be so rude, Third Prince. If you have any questions, feel free to go to His Majesty and impeach me."

"This person has always been with me. How could he be a bandit? Aren't you being too hypocritical?"

The third prince's eyes darkened. Guan Ning refused to let him take him away, which meant that his premonition was correct!

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, and the bodies of the guards behind him began to sink, like a pack of wolves, about to launch a charge in the dark night.

Guan Ning, a veteran of many battles, could clearly sense this subtle change and stood in front of Fang Zheng, ready to fight.

He was not afraid of the matter getting out of hand, as it would be disadvantageous to the Third Prince if it got out of hand.

Just as the volcano was about to erupt, a man stood up and stood in the middle.

It’s Yuwen Hongdu!

As the commander of the imperial guards, he was only subordinate to the emperor and should not help any one side, but at this moment, he had to stand up.

"Your Highness the Third Prince."

"Go ahead and don't make things difficult for me."

His tone was very tactful, but he also expressed his position.

The Third Prince's face darkened instantly, and he laughed in anger: "Even you dare to stop me?"

Yuwen Hong didn't say anything. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong with the Third Prince and he was just looking for trouble.

"good very good!"

"Yuwen Hongdu, you must remember this for me!"

"Humph!"

The third prince turned around and said that even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to go to war with the palace guards, because that would be tantamount to slapping the old emperor in the face.

No matter who you are, if you dare to do this, you will not escape punishment.

After taking two steps, he turned around and glared fiercely at Fang Zheng behind Guan Ning: "This prince will remember you. Don't let me find out that you are a bandit, otherwise I will kill your entire clan!"

His threats were so brazen that Fang Zheng shuddered and his mind went blank.

"Humph!"

"go!"

The third prince growled and left quickly.

With the sound of horse hooves, the third prince's men returned in defeat and ultimately failed to succeed.

Guan Ning glanced at Yuwen Hongdu and said, "Thank you very much."

Yuwen Hongdu remained calm: "I am just doing the task assigned to me by His Majesty."

"There's still a score between you and me!"

Guan Ning smiled without comment. If Yuwen Hong knew who he was loyal to, would he still be so loyal?

He didn't say anything else, but looked at Fang Zheng behind him.

Fang Zheng was already trembling with fear, his face pale, and suddenly he fell to the ground with a thud.

Guan Ning squatted down, frowned and said, "You don't have to be afraid. You and your family are under my protection."

"This Third Prince can't hurt you."

"Go on, what did you just remember?"

Fang Zheng looked up at Guan Ning with a bitter heart. His lips moved, but he dared not speak. If he had known that this would attract the Third Prince's murderous intent, he would never have dared to appear here.

"Sir, I don't remember anything."

Guan Ning's expression darkened slightly, but he did not threaten.

Instead, he said, "I know what you are afraid of, but do you think you will be safe if you don't say anything?"

"Believe it or not, as soon as I leave, the Third Prince's men will immediately find you and execute you on all sorts of trumped-up charges."

"You just saw how cruel and ruthless this person is."

Fang Zheng trembled, his expression terrified.

"There are only two paths before you now. One is death, and the other is to cooperate with me and I will keep you safe." Guan Ning said.

Fang Zheng was in agony, but he also knew this was the truth. He struggled and said, "Sir, can you really keep me safe?"

"A man of honor once he speaks is as good as his bond. If I, Guan Ning, say I can protect you, then I can!" Guan Ning said firmly.

Fang Zheng lowered his head, hesitating and struggling, feeling bitter and difficult.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Sir, I just suddenly remembered that there was a sign on the carriage that night."

"Sign, what sign?" Guan Ning narrowed his eyes.

"It's round, shaped like a jade pendant, with a flying bird carved into it."
