Chapter 645: Even Stranger Things
Chapter 645: Even Stranger Things
There was no other person in the entire Tongfu Inn. The lobby on the first floor of the inn was also quiet at this moment. Only the shopkeeper and his two waiters were standing in front of the counter with their heads lowered.
The innkeeper of this inn is the owner himself.
He was Yan Ziyou's friend. At this moment, he was standing in front of the counter, looking confused with his head down. He was originally thinking that when Yan Ziyou arranged for these people to live in Room No. 1 of his inn and book the entire third floor, he could see that this young couple were not ordinary people.
Today, so early in the morning, the Crown Prince and King Yan came with their subordinates, and he was terrified.
These two people were brought here by Yan Ziyou. If the prince and his men come to arrest these two people, he will also be implicated.
But what he didn't expect was that the Crown Prince and King Flame not only did not deal with the two men, but also sat quietly in the living room on the third floor waiting for them.
At this moment, he was thinking, are the identities of these two people more noble than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao had no idea what other people thought of them. As soon as they reached the door of the reception room on the third floor, Bei Jinheng's subordinates who were guarding the door stood up and saluted, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing."
Crown Prince Bei Jinheng, Seventh Prince Bei Jinyan, and Yan Ziyou, who were in the hall, immediately stood up and came out to greet them when they heard the guards' salute.
After they met and exchanged some greetings, they were invited by the prince to go to the prince's mansion.
……
Several luxurious carriages were traveling in the capital city of Beiyue, which had not yet been unsealed.
The streets were not peaceful, and crying and screaming could be heard coming from some houses.
Along the way, Ouyang Yunyao could see through the window of the carriage that teams of soldiers were escorting prisoners walking on the streets, probably to be sent to prison.
The carriage quickly entered the east gate of the palace and arrived at the East Palace, which is the Prince's residence.
Crown Prince Bei Jinheng, without any formality, welcomed the two of them into his study.
After the prince invited them to sit down, he formally bowed deeply to Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, I am extremely grateful to Prince Jing and Princess Jing for helping me this time."
He was sincere in expressing his gratitude to the couple. Not only that, he really admired them from the bottom of his heart.
Without their help, he dared not say that he could defeat Yan Hu. It was even more impossible for him to not lose a single troop. This was something he could not imagine. He swore that he would never be an enemy of the Western Chu State.
Chu Chenjing also stood up and replied, "Your Highness, no need to be polite. We can talk slowly."
……
After they sat down, Yan Ziyou looked at Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao with a gleam in his eyes, and couldn't wait to tell them how he had killed all those people after he followed the funeral procession out of the city yesterday.
The Crown Prince Bei Jinheng, who originally looked very calm, became more and more familiar with the two of them. There was a rare admiration in his eyes when he looked at them, just like one of their little fans.
He couldn't help but excitedly talk about what happened in Prince Yan's mansion yesterday. "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, you don't know that we were lucky to have taken the pills Princess Jing gave us, otherwise we would have been poisoned a long time ago."
"My Hundred Poison Pills are powerful, right?"
"Awesome! Princess Jing, your powerful sleeping drug is even more powerful. I just sprinkled it out, and Yan Hutu and the others all fell down. I was stunned at the time." He had no idea that it was the soldiers of the Divine Artifact Battalion who were wearing invisible cloaks and secretly helped them.
"Also, those dozens of people of yours, Prince Jing, are really a one-on-a-thousand battle. I didn't expect them to be so capable that they could hide in the tiger's den of Prince Yan's Mansion. Not only are they unharmed, but they can even charm the entire guards and imperial escorts in Prince Yan's Mansion." He didn't know how Prince Jing trained these soldiers.
Ouyang Yunyao looked at the prince's envious eyes, her lips curled up slightly, and she tried to hold back her laughter. That was high technology thousands of years later, and it was only possible in this dynasty! She gave them the drug because she didn't want war and didn't want innocent people to die.
As the prince spoke, he was also thinking that Hutuning, a capable general of Yan Hutu in the city, brought tens of thousands of soldiers into the city, and was able to knock out Chu Chenjing's soldiers without anyone noticing, allowing General Huwei's men to be easily captured alive.
Even when General Hu Wei talked to him about such a serious matter, he just played it off.
What was even more incredible to him was that Yan Hutu's army outside the city was also bewitched by Chu Chenjing's soldiers, allowing his uncle, the General of Cavalry, to lead his soldiers and capture those soldiers without any casualties.
He didn't see how many people Prince Jing had, so he didn't know what the powerful drug was made of. The imperial physician examined it, but he didn't even know what herbs it was made of. He now had an inexplicable admiration for the couple.
Then the Seventh Prince Bei Jinyan also excitedly talked about what happened in the palace yesterday. They had no idea that Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao were sitting there watching the drama. They didn't want people from other countries to know about their invisible cloak, and only a few of their closest people knew about it.
Then Yan Ziyou talked about a strange thing that happened in the capital last night, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, you may not know that something even stranger happened in the capital last night."
"What's the matter? Tell me about it." Ouyang Yunyao looked at him with a gossipy look.
"It's like this. Last night, I, General Huwei's deputy general Xia Hai and I went to seal off the Duke of Hou's mansion. There were actually several thousand soldiers guarding their mansion."
"Did that hurt anyone?"
"Haha, no one was hurt. Those people didn't even have any weapons. Not even a kitchen knife."
"What's going on?" After asking this question, Ouyang Yunyao seemed to remember that this was her own achievement. The Marquis' Mansion is just a beggar's mansion.
Yan Ziyou was still talking with relish, "They were all tied up by General Hu Wei's men in a short while. According to them, it was because their weapons were in the armory. When they went to get the weapons, the armory was empty, without a single sword.
In addition, the storehouses and granaries in the Marquis’ mansion are all empty, with no gold, silver or grain left.”
"Ah! Is there such a thing? Did the beggar hide him?" Ouyang Yunyao asked curiously.
"Princess Jing, it's not Qiyan Muhong's hidden body. After waking him up last night, my people interrogated him." Bei Jinyan also spoke in confusion.
"Could it be that a god has descended from heaven, or some flying thief?" Ouyang Yunyao had no choice but to talk nonsense to them.
Chu Chenjing's eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at his little princess, who was talking nonsense in a serious manner. He held back his smile and looked at her dotingly.
