GBP Chapter 134 Unclean Body
Chapter 134 Unclean Body
The Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment, disgust rising in his eyes: "How dare the Zi Luo Kingdom send an unclean princess here for marriage."
"Don't make it public for the next few days." Du Zhijie didn't explain the details, but asked, "Why don't you want to marry her?"
"That little princess is spoiled. Besides, didn't she express her feelings at the banquet before? Didn't she say she would marry you? And then she fell in love with Xiao Chenyang." The Ninth Prince curled his lips. "I don't ask for much. I just hope that my future princess and I will have a mutual understanding."
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled and looked at Du Zhijie: "General Du, it's been so long, why haven't you married the general's wife yet?"
Upon hearing this, Du Zhijie smiled and said, "It's almost there, but we just need to wait a little longer."
Once these things are done, I can marry her with a grand ceremony.
The Ninth Prince's eyes widened and he started to scream. He had been isolated from the news in the palace for many years. If it weren't for the marriage, the news wouldn't have suddenly come out. He had no idea that Du Zhijie had someone he loved. "General Du, who is this girl from? What is her character and appearance? Tell me quickly."
But Si Moli just smiled and was unwilling to reveal more. She asked him to keep the secret and sent him back to the palace.
Counting the days, he sighed softly and thought that he still had a long way to go before he could get married.
After the guards sent the Ninth Prince away, they brought back news: "General, Fan Yunfei has escaped as expected."
Du Zhijie nodded and opened the scroll of the map, asking, "But he has been forced onto the planned route."
"Yes, General, everything is under control." The guard replied in a low voice.
"Then kill him here." Du Zhijie pointed to a mountain range on the map. "Remember, you must leave the body behind to make a bigger noise."
The guard nodded and flew away.
At this moment, Fan Yunfei was heading towards the place pointed out by Du Zhijie. He was very proud and felt that General Du was just like that. He still helped him escape.
Ever since he caught Zhao Yurou secretly adding salt last time, he has been feeling very uneasy. And for some reason, he always felt that someone was secretly observing him in the dark, as if waiting for an opportunity to kill him.
Fan Yunfei thought about it and felt that Zhao Yurou, that fool, must have ulterior motives. Therefore, the people she brought with her were certainly not safe either. So that night, he went directly to Zhao Yurou's room, pushed her onto the bed, and threatened her: "If you don't tell the truth, I will throw you to the guards and let them do whatever they want with you. Anyway, just keep your life and come back with me to get married."
Zhao Yurou was frightened by him and trembled all over: "I am your prince's consort after all, don't you care about my innocence?"
"Tsk, your innocence? What's the point?" Fan Yunfei sneered and tore off her clothes, looking at her with disdain: "I don't have the slightest interest in looking at you like this. If you don't say anything, I'll strip you naked and throw you out right now!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Zhao Yu burst into tears, unable to resist. "It was Du Zhijie. Du Zhijie asked me to do this, but he didn't tell me why. I really don't know anything. Please let me go."
Fan Yunfei frowned, and when he saw her face covered with snot, he felt even more disgusted, and simply pushed her away and left.
It turned out that Du Zhijie was behind this.
After confirming this, the next day he pretended to have a cold and asked a guard to pretend that he had stayed in the carriage all day. He secretly ordered others to cover up for him, making people misunderstand that he was still in the team.
He himself took three trusted aides and took another route.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning, so he relaxed his vigilance a little, but he soon encountered the first group of assassins. Although he escaped successfully, he lost a guard. Later on the road, he was much more careful and successfully avoided another assassination.
"Third Prince, Wu County is just ahead. If we go around two mountains and take the shortcut here, we should be able to return to Zi Luo Country in about the same time as the envoys." The guard analyzed while holding a map.
"Very good." Fan Yunfei said with some pride: "I will reward you when we return to Ziluo Country."
"This is what I should do."
With the remaining two people, Fan Yunfei successfully passed through the county town and slept in a dilapidated house on the mountain at night. It should be a temporary resting place built by hunters.
A few people lit a fire and took turns to keep watch, and the night went on peacefully.
In the early morning, as the sun was about to rise, it was the coldest time of the year. The guard threw a piece of firewood into the fire and looked at the burning and jumping flames. He thought that when he returned to Zi Luo Kingdom, he would ask the third prince to reward him with a beautiful maid, and it would be comfortable to hold her in the warm quilt.
With a whoosh, a feather arrow shot out from the darkness and hit his shoulder.
"Ah! There's an assassin!" The guard stood up, covering his shoulder. Fan Yunfei and another guard were also suddenly awakened. The three of them stood back to back and looked around vigilantly.
More feather arrows were shot out, and several people pulled wooden boards to hide behind, secretly looking for a breakthrough.
Several masked men in night clothes appeared in the woods and stabbed directly with swords. Unlike the previous two times, the killers this time were particularly skilled. The two guards were stabbed by the sword at once, and blood spilled all over the ground.
"Third Prince, run!" one of them shouted. The next second, a sharp sword pierced his heart. His eyes widened and he fell down.
Seeing this, Fan Yunfei stopped fighting and ran straight into the depths of the woods.
The other man barely resisted for a while, but was also stabbed to death by several swords and fell to the ground.
On this side, Fan Yunfei had just run a short distance when he was caught up and surrounded.
He shouted, "Who are you? Are you sent by General Du? I am the third prince of Ziluo Country. If you kill me, aren't you afraid that Ziluo Country will attack again?"
However, these people didn't say a word to Fan Yunfei at all, but just picked up their swords and stabbed him.
Although Fan Yunfei's martial arts skills were pretty good, he had just injured his arm and one punch could not defeat four hands. Soon, a sword pierced his neck and blood gushed out.
He covered his neck, knelt on the ground, and looked at the masked men in front of him with hatred. He wanted to say something, but he could no longer utter a word.
The few of them looked at each other, and brought Fan Yunfei's body from the woods to the main road leading to the county town, and placed it across the middle of the road together with the bodies of the other two guards.
As the sky gradually brightened, someone passing by soon discovered the body and went to the county town to report the case.
After inspecting the bodies, the county government officials found the token on Fan Yunfei's body, as well as some other items on the guards. They immediately cried out in alarm. News spread all the way back to Kyoto: the Third Prince of Zi Luo had died, outside Wu County.
