Chapter 1520 The Fall of Beauty (6)
"Hongjin, you traitor."
Zi Jing was tied to a chair, and Shi Sheng slowly dragged the chair to sit opposite him, "Who are you traitors? Tell me clearly."
"You don't know what you have done?" Zijin looked a little excited, "Do you know how many brothers we have died? Why are you so cruel? We grew up together!!"
Shi Sheng put his elbows on the back of the chair and supported his chin slightly, his expression unchanged from beginning to end, "If I knew what I had done, why would I ask you?"
"You really don't know?" Zi Jing's excited expression calmed down slightly.
"As you said, if I were a traitor, I should kill you now."
Zi Jing's eyes changed, and then he said angrily: "Do you think I will believe you? Hong Jin, after all these years, I have really misjudged you."
Shi Sheng: "..."
Zijin cursed for most of the night, but Shi Sheng didn't ask anything. In the end, he could only use coercion to force the question.
From Zijin's narrative, Hongjin should not have left the capital, but she disappeared inexplicably, and then they were attacked and many people died.
Those people were very familiar with their combat habits, and even knew who was good at using what. Later, when they cleaned up the corpse, they found Hong Jin's token, and during subsequent investigations, they also found Hong Jin's head several times.
Hong Jin has been unable to contact them, and they have to believe that Hong Jin betrayed them.
However, the original owner accepted the order and went to assassinate the Ninth Prince...
Therefore, this is to lure the tiger away from the mountain, just to frame her.
Shi Sheng thought for a moment, then looked at Zijing, whose eyes were still distracted, and continued to ask: "Who did you find out that Hong Jin is in contact with?"
Zi Jing's eyes struggled for a moment, then she spat out a few words, "Ninth Prince Yan Luan."
Shi Sheng: "..."
The Ninth Prince thought that the Seventh Prince was going to kill her.
However, now the Seventh Prince has found out that Hong Jin is related to the Ninth Prince, so he wants the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince to kill each other.
Who benefits the most?
The emperor had many sons, all of whom wanted to be crown prince, but there was only one position. Naturally, the first thing to do is to get rid of the person who has the best chance of becoming the crown prince.
The seventh prince is the most favored. These people want to get rid of the seventh prince, so... anyone can do it.
betray……
No matter how you look at it, this looks a bit like an exam question.
Shi Sheng decided to go back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to see if the Seventh Prince was the mentally retarded Feng Ci from her family.
…
Early the next morning, Shi Sheng carried the still-breathing Bauhinia and swaggered to knock on the door of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Dead soldiers are usually kept out of sight. The guards don't know them, so they naturally refuse to let them in.
Before Shi Sheng could roll up his sleeves and start drying, two people came out. Their eyes swept over Zijin and focused on Shi Sheng. Both of them looked solemn. The taller man among them said in a low voice, "Hongjin, you What do you want to do?"
Shi Sheng threw Zijing back with a nonchalant expression, "I would like to state two points. First, I did not betray you. Second, I am not here to fight. I want to see your highness."
The two people quickly helped Zi Jing up and asked the guard to take him in.
"The factual evidence is in front of you, and you still want to quibble?" There was anger in the man's eyes, "His Highness treats you well, why do you betray His Highness?"
Shi Sheng took a deep breath. It was nonsense to explain to these people. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay, if you let me see the Seventh Prince, I will tell you something."
"How could His Highness let you, a traitor, meet so casually?" The two men drew their weapons at the same time, "Hong Jin, I advise you to arrest me without mercy."
Shi Sheng: "..." I really came here as a friendly person. They were the ones who made the move first. It's none of my business!
【……】
You are obviously very excited!
Shi Sheng called in from the door. The seventh prince's mansion was full of excitement early in the morning, but Shi Sheng searched around the mansion and couldn't find the seventh prince.
Shi Sheng casually grabbed a servant and asked, "Where is your highness?"
The servant's body shook like a sieve, "Your Highness... Your Highness didn't come back yesterday. You guys don't know where your Highness went."
Shi Sheng asked several people one after another, and they all got the same answer.
Their Highness would disappear for a day or two from time to time, and would only come back after having enough fun outside. The only people who knew his whereabouts were the Xuanchen guards around him.
Not here...
Shi Sheng caused chaos in the mansion. The two people who stopped her at first got a team of archers from nowhere and surrounded her.
"Fire the arrow!"
Shi Sheng waved a wave of sword energy in that direction, and the archers were thrown away by the sword energy, disrupting their formation. Shi Sheng took the opportunity to rush towards the wall, turned over, and jumped directly down. When he jumped out, he discovered that there was a lake outside, and there were some strange animals in the lake.
It’s my uncle’s fault!
What idiot is building a lake outside the wall? !
When she was about to fall into the water, the iron sword caught her and quickly took her flying high. A strange creature crawling underground showed its head, its eyes glowing green, and it looked at her delicious food with its big mouth open. .
This creature is dark green, with conical teeth all over its back, and its mouth is open, revealing sharp teeth...
Crocodile! ?
Horse Gobi!
She entered the zoo this time, right? First it was a shark, now it was a crocodile, and next there was a whale?
Before the people over there could catch up, Shi Sheng hurriedly crossed the lake and disappeared behind layers of walls.
…
Before Shi Sheng had time to go find the Seventh Prince the next day, he suddenly learned from the people that the Seventh Prince had gone on a tour of the northwest region for His Majesty and would not return until the next spring.
Shi Sheng: "..."? ?
EXM? ? ?
What the hell is a tour in the middle of winter? It’s simply poisonous! !
The people in the Seventh Prince's Mansion were sparing no effort to chase her. When she chased them out, the Seventh Prince's team had long disappeared. Even if they knew the general direction, there were many routes and no one knew which road they were taking.
In the middle of winter, Shi Sheng didn't want to sit on the sword and drink from the northwest wind, so he gave up chasing him and waited for him to come back in the capital.
The people in the Seventh Prince's Mansion were unwilling to give up and were taught a lesson by Shi Sheng several times before they settled down.
Shi Sheng kept a high profile and was not afraid of being discovered. Those people probably noticed something was wrong and were temporarily undecided, so they put her under surveillance.
Shi Sheng was either wandering the streets or wasting time in the inn every day. Those who monitored him thought she was boring.
"Eh."
The girl's pretty face appeared in the man's sight. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"Why are you so fierce? You're spying on me, and I haven't even gotten angry yet."
The girl was wrapped in a black fox fur and had a playful look on her face. She was wearing white before, but then she got it all in black from somewhere, which made her look luxurious and noble.
It was completely different from the Hong Jin he knew before.
but……
Very annoying.
Zi Jing was angry, "Are you done yet, Hong Jin, what on earth are you playing?"
She has done nothing for such a long time. What's the use of them monitoring her all day long? She knew for a fact that they were watching her, no matter where she was hiding.
"Wait until your highness comes back." Shi Sheng said honestly, "When will your highness come back?"
"how could I know."
