Chapter 426 Rescued

The middle-aged man was almost pierced through the head by an arrow, and he broke out in a cold sweat and his face turned pale.

But he didn't wait for him to come back to his senses.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Arrows shot out with the sound of breaking through the air.

The middle-aged man and the woman were quite skilled, and they rolled on the ground and hid behind the tree.

In the darkness, seven or eight men in black rushed out, with black cloth covering their faces and holding sharp blades, and attacked the two directly.

The two drew their sharp blades and fought with the men in black.

Among them, one man in black did not join the battle.

He stood in the distance, raised his crossbow, and looked for an opportunity.

Whoosh!!!

The crossbow arrow shot out and accurately hit the middle-aged man's calf.

The middle-aged man cried out in pain, lowered his body, and knelt on the ground.

A man in black took advantage of the situation and kicked him out directly.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground and rolled several times. Just as he was about to get up, two long knives were placed on his neck.

The woman did not hold on for a while and was captured by the black-clothed man.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man asked angrily.

The man holding the crossbow made a gesture.

The middle-aged man and the woman were knocked unconscious.

The black-clothed man holding the crossbow came over, glanced at Pan Yucheng in the box, and then closed the box.

......

In the Supervisory Department, Ning Chen stayed in Geng Jing's room, sipping tea with relish.

Geng Jing couldn't help it, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Ning Chen said slowly: "Wait!"

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for news!"

"Wait for what news?"

"Good news!"

Geng Jing: "......"

Unknowingly, two hours passed.

Ning Chen suddenly stood up.

Geng Jing also stood up, "Are you going to take action?"

"No, I drank too much tea. I'm going to the toilet. Do you want to join me?"

Geng Jing was speechless.

Ning Chen was about to go to the toilet when a young voice sounded outside the door: "Report to Geng Ziyi, Pan Jinyi and Feng Yinyi are back."

Geng Jing was shocked!

Ning Chen had already walked over quickly to open the door.

The red-clothed man outside the door saw Ning Chen and hurriedly saluted, "Meet the Marquis!"

"Where are Old Pan and Old Feng?"

The red-clothed man replied: "In the first place!"

Ning Chen and Geng Jing hurried to the first place.

In the yard of the first place, there was a carriage with two open boxes on it, and a middle-aged man and woman.

In addition, there were several city defense soldiers.

Chen Chong hurriedly came up and told the story in general!

These city defense soldiers were responsible for guarding the city gate tonight. They found the carriage, opened the box, and found a person wearing a golden fish scale suit inside. They did not dare to delay and sent it to the Supervisory Department in a hurry.

Ning Chen took out a ten-liang silver note and handed it to one of the city defense soldiers, saying with a smile, "You have worked hard. Let's have a drink during the rest time."

Several city defense soldiers were excited and bowed their heads and clasped their fists, "Thank you, Lord!"

"Okay, you can go back first!"

After the city defense soldiers left, Ning Chen stepped forward, but his brows suddenly frowned, and he stepped back a few steps, covering his nose.

My goodness, the box smelled so bad, even stronger than the toilet.

He quickly ordered people to get Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen out.

Several red-clothed people lifted Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen out and untied their restraints.

The two men were weak and had been curled up in one position for a long time, and their legs could not be straightened.

Ning Chen asked people to send the two men to the sixth place.

Ning Chen asked people to put the middle-aged man and woman in jail and guard them strictly.

After Meng Jianbai gave them acupuncture, Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen were able to straighten their legs.

Fortunately, both of them are masters with a good foundation. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been ruined long ago.

It took them more than an hour to take a bath, and they changed the bath water bucket after bucket.

Ning Chen asked people to prepare food.

Feng Qi was wolfing down and eating with relish.

Pan Yucheng only ate a little.

Ning Chen poured Pan Yucheng a glass of wine and comforted him, "Old Pan, don't think too much, it's all over!"

He knew that Pan Yucheng was a very proud person, with a calm personality and outstanding skills... He probably felt so depressed after suffering such a big loss this time.

Pan Yucheng drank it all in one gulp, without saying anything, but the wine glass in his hand was almost crushed by him.

Geng Jing looked at Ning Chen with flickering eyes, wondering what he was thinking?

Finally, he couldn't help but say: "Ning Chen, come with me!"

"Old Pan, people are made of iron and steel. If you want to take revenge, you must first take care of your body... Don't forget, Nanzhi is still waiting for you at home."

Hearing Nanzhi's name, Pan Yucheng's eyes softened a little. He loosened his hand and put down the wine glass that was about to be crushed.

Ning Chen got up and went outside with Geng Jing.

Geng Jing stared at Ning Chen.

"Just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that. It's creepy."

Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi were rescued by you, right?"

Ning Chen nodded.

Geng Jing then asked: "You said before that you would lure the snake out of its hole?"

Ning Chen nodded again.

Geng Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "You behaved strangely at the gate of the palace today. At that time, there were only you, me, and the fifth prince... who is the snake?"

Ning Chen looked at him and smiled indifferently, "You have guessed it, why ask me?"

Geng Jing's face changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with disbelief... Although he had guesses, Ning Chen's affirmative words were like a scorched thunder exploding in his ears, and his mind went blank for a moment.

After a long time, he said in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible... He is stupid and stupid, how could it be him?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Since you have guessed it, I won't hide it from you... He is pretending to be stupid, not really stupid."

"I was demoted to a commoner and was assassinated many times on the way to Xiuzhou. These several dangers were all the work of this stupid and stupid man you said."

Geng Jing was dumbfounded and shocked beyond measure.

"This is impossible, how is this possible?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Often impossible things are most likely... He has been pretending to be stupid, but in fact he has a dark mind, cruel methods, and a deep city."

Geng Jing didn't speak for a long time, trying to digest the news.

"Why did he do this?"

Geng Jing couldn't figure out why a person would have to pretend to be stupid for more than ten years?

Ning Chen said indifferently: "Of course it's for the throne... Maybe it was for self-protection at first. After all, the royal family has no family ties since ancient times. For that position, it is normal for brothers to kill each other. Even if there is no desire to seize the legitimate son, an adult prince is still easily captured. against."

"So, it's good to be a fool. Even if you become an adult, who would worry about a fool competing for the throne with you?"

"Maybe it was for self-protection at first, but later I discovered that I also had the ability to reach that location, so I have been plotting secretly and waiting for opportunities."

"Now, the position of Crown Prince is vacant. These years of dormant in secret have already made him full-fledged, so naturally he can no longer sit still."

"However, he was still a child when he was pretending to be stupid. It is absolutely impossible for a child to have such deep thoughts... There must be an expert behind him."
