The Wife is First - 56 Chapter 56 Good News

The assassin was caught red-handed, and the torches around the king’s tent were lit one after another. The guards on the left and right rushed over quickly, fearing that the prince would make a mistake. Then, he saw the prince, who was supposed to be sleeping in the king’s tent, walking out of the military advisor’s tent leisurely.

Right Guard: “…”

Zuo Hujun: “…”

The right guard laughed dryly: “The military advisor is really clever!”

Zuo Hujun: “Yeah.”

Jing Shao didn’t feel embarrassed at all about being caught. He walked over and looked at the man who was tied up. He was wearing clothes from the handyman camp. He took the dagger handed over by the guard and looked at it carefully. It was exactly the same as the boot knife found on the horse archers during the day. He sneered: “Is the Southeast King acting like this because he can’t wait to withdraw from the vassal?”

The man suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and was very surprised that his identity was guessed. The horse archers belonged to the Southeast King. The court probably didn’t know about this, so they dared to attack the camp blatantly.

“Leave it to you, I want to know everything before dawn.” Throwing the dagger to the left guard, Jing Shao picked up the struggling little tiger in the arms of the right guard and returned to the king’s tent to sleep as if nothing had happened.

“Xiao Zuo, tell me, why did the prince sleep in the military advisor’s tent?” The right guard couldn’t come to his senses for a while. During the day, he was just having some ambiguities, but this night… he shook his head hurriedly. The prince must be discussing military affairs with the military advisor. Now, I and Xiao Zuo will sleep together even if they discuss things late… But, why does it feel weird… But the prince is so calm, it must be nothing…

Zuo Hujun glanced at him: “Take the assassin with you and go to the military prison.”

The next morning, Jing Shao got up early and went to the middle tent to hear the results of the overnight interrogation.

As expected, the assassin was not a real killer, but a horse archer who attacked the camp during the day. Because he fell off his horse, he took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the handyman camp. The Southeast King gave them a death order. If they could not kill King Cheng Jingshao, they would not be able to go back alive.

Jing Shao frowned and looked at the man lying on the ground who was beaten to death: “Then why did you kill my king’s military advisor?”

“We…were also…not sure…who King Cheng was. We just saw that the man was dressed…differently from…others, and he was standing…in front of…the middle tent, so we thought he was…” That person Standing in front of the central tent, facing the onslaught of cavalry, his face remained unchanged, and his whole body was noble and noble. If he hadn’t discovered that he basically didn’t know martial arts, who would have thought that he was not Cheng Wang?

Thinking of the situation at that time, they could only consider it to be too unlucky. If they had come half an hour earlier, they would have squeezed King Cheng into the camp. However, they recognized the wrong person. The captain found out that the man was not King Cheng, so he ordered everyone to search for him, but he was Separate and eliminate them one by one.

When Jing Shao heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. If he had been in the camp at that time and used the life-threatening fighting style of this group of people to attack him alone, even if he had unparalleled martial arts skills, he would probably not be able to escape death. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat. If the captain hadn’t recognized that Jun Qing was not King Cheng, then Jun Qing would have died this time!

“That’s too much!” Jing Shao was furious as he punched the table hard. In the previous life, the Southeast King and the Southwest King only secretly sent troops to support, but now they are committing a blatant assassination. It is really hateful!

“Did the Southeast King do this because he was impatient?” You Hujun didn’t understand. The army had already reached the southwest. If he provoked at this time, wasn’t he just drawing fire on himself?

“If the prince hadn’t been well-informed, we might not have known that he was from the Southeast King.” Zuo Hujun reminded.

“Your Majesty, I think it’s better to send this man back to the Southeast King to scare the old boy and make him be more honest.” The right guard said, waving his fist.

“This person can’t be kept.” A gentle and pleasant voice came. Everyone turned to look, and Mu Hanzhang, dressed in light blue, lifted the curtain and walked in.

“Jun Qing, why are you up?” Jing Shao frowned. He worked so late last night and thought he could sleep until noon, so he hurriedly asked him to come over and sit down.

Mu Hanzhang did not refuse and sat down in his seat, but frowned slightly when he sat down.

“Why can’t this person… be retained?” You Hujun looked at Mu Hanzhang curiously and asked. Halfway through his words, his attention was attracted by the bright red on his fair neck.

“If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the gain outweighs the loss.” Mu Hanzhang slowly rubbed the jade pendant around his waist and listed the pros and cons one by one.

The reason why the Southeast King is doing this now is probably because he saw the crisis in the Southwest and was worried that he would be the next one to withdraw from the vassal, so he wanted to secretly help the Southwest King. If you return the person, you will clearly tell the Southeast King that “the court already knows that it was you”, which will only make him jump over the wall and rebel with the Southwest King.

“The army is only one hundred thousand, and the troops in the southeast are strong. If we join forces with the southwest, we have no chance of winning.” Jing Shao listened silently, then slowly said, “Then how about escorting this man back to Beijing?”

“No,” Mu Hanzhang immediately vetoed the proposal, “Whether to evacuate to the southeast or not, all we need is an excuse. As for the evidence, this person can’t prove anything at all, and the Southeast King will never admit it. All he needs to do is put forward a statement to explain the matter. Just tell the emperor everything. If the vassal state is to be withdrawn in the future, just list the crimes.”

From the southwest to the capital, there are three thousand miles of high mountains and roads. No one can predict what will happen during this period. If the news is leaked, the Southeast King may rebel at any time. If they are caught off guard, they will suffer a big loss.

Seeing his princess’ face gradually turning pale, Jing Shao felt extremely distressed. He quickly waved his hand to the guards on the left and right to take the man down for treatment. He stood up and hugged the man who was showing off on the chair. He reached out and touched the rounded place: “Does it still hurt?”

Mu Hanzhang blushed immediately and hurriedly patted away his paws: “It’s not a problem.”

“Don’t be brave next time, just come over and sit on your husband’s lap.” Jing Shao said seriously.

Mu Hanzhang glared at him: “You should restrain yourself in broad daylight. They would definitely be suspicious when you came out of the military advisor’s tent last night.”

“I guess they already know,” he said, leaning over and licking the white neck, “the teeth marks here are not even covered.”

“Ah?” Mu Hanzhang hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it, and pressed it carefully. It did feel a slight pain. Then he remembered the expression of the right guard just now, and couldn’t help but blush. He stood up and walked out. This man definitely didn’t mean to kiss him in such an obvious place. Now that he was so embarrassed, how could he raise his head in the military camp in the future?

“Hey, Jun Qing…” Seeing his princess leaving in anger, Jing Shao hurriedly chased after her.

“Report~” Gan just walked out of the camp and bumped into the soldiers who came in a hurry to report the message. The anxious soldiers came on horseback. Mu Hanzhang hurriedly dodged to hide, but he felt uncomfortable under his body, and his movements were slow for a moment. Just as he was about to be hit by the horse, Jing Shao kicked the galloping horse, stood up, grabbed Xin Bing’s collar, and pulled the frightened soldier down.

But in this world, there are always people who love to be attentive, such as Wang Er who came to deliver account books. Seeing that such a weak and handsome military advisor was about to be stepped on by a horse’s hooves, he stretched out his hand out of nowhere, hugged the military advisor and rolled on the spot.

“Well…” Mu Hanzhang was suddenly pulled backwards and fell to the ground. The movement was too big, which immediately affected the wound, and he couldn’t help but groan.

“Jun Qing!” Jing Shao put down the soldier and turned around to look at his voice. He was furious. He punched the man who was still pressing on Mu Hanzhang and knocked him to the ground, then kicked him hard again. Feet, “Damn thing!”

Mu Hanzhang bit his lip and slowly sat up. He stretched out his hand to cover his left shoulder. Bright red blood flowed out along the white fingers, which was very dazzling.

“Jun Qing!” Jing Shao finally came to his senses and rushed forward to hug the person into his arms. However, when he saw that the person in his arms was pale and big beads of sweat fell down one by one, he knew that the wound had been torn again. It was broken, and I felt extremely distressed. I hugged the man and ran towards the king’s tent.

The guards on the left and right who came to listen to the military report were seeing this scene.

The right guard kicked Wang Er again, who was lying on the ground: “Mind your own business!” It was clear that nothing happened just now. The reason why the prince kicked the horse instead of pulling someone was because he was afraid of touching the military advisor’s wound. , this guy is good, he still shows off despite his poor skills! He recognized Wang Er. He was originally a guard who followed him, but he always showed courtesy for nothing and was eager for quick success, so he threw him into the handyman camp. Later, he was regarded as the accountant by the military advisor. Now he must be restless again.

Zuo Hujun shook his head and asked Xin Bing, “What’s the news?”

“The army has broken through the second level of the pass!” Xin Bing replied hurriedly.

“So fast!” Zuo Hujun was stunned.

“General Hao broke the tiger’s teeth and crane’s beak, led the Shu army to fight all the way, broke the gate outside Erzhong Pass, and directly welcomed General Zhao’s army to enter the pass!” Xin Bing couldn’t help being excited when he talked about the news.

Zuo Hujun turned around and walked towards the king’s tent. This news must be told to the prince as soon as possible.

Jing Shao couldn’t care about this now. The tearing wound was only much more painful than when he was injured in the first place. Seeing the scabbed wound cracking into a ferocious look again, Jing Shao was so angry that he threw the stool at hand and let the guards Then go and kill Wang Er.

“No…” Mu Hanzhang stretched out his hand to pull him.

The guards naturally obeyed the prince and left immediately.

“It’s good that I didn’t cut him into pieces!” Jing Shao said loudly, but the movements of his hands were extremely gentle.

“Your Majesty, the army has broken through the second level of the pass.” Zuo Hujun came in and said without squinting.

“Understood, let Xin Bing inform Zhao Meng and Hao Da Dao to combine them into one and continue to attack Yuncheng!” Jing Shao said without raising his head.

“Yes!” Zuo Hujun took the order, “Your Majesty, when will the army pull out of camp?”

Jing Shao immediately frowned and looked at the pale man on the bed, hesitating a little. Now that he was out of camp, the wound would be longer and worse. Just as he was about to say how many days he would stay, the hand holding the towel was suddenly held by the person on the bed. He shook his head and stopped his words.

“Go and deliver the order first and come back later.” Mu Hanzhang could see Jing Shao’s thoughts, but the man was angry and could not go against him, so he had to ask Zuo Hujun to go out first.

“The food and grass are all here, how can you let the army attack Yuncheng?” Mu Hanzhang’s voice was a little weak.

“The food and grass they brought can last at least three days. Your injury is so serious, let’s rest for two days before leaving.” Jing Shao took the sapphire vial and said.

“How could you abandon the army for your own selfishness? You…ah…” Mu Hanzhang leaned over and scolded him, but fell down in pain.
