Chapter Thirty-Three
The scarred man had already gotten up and turned around and said, "The prince must be hungry. Come quickly to get dry food and water." Thinking of something, he asked Yang Ning, "Does the prince want to drink?"
Yang Ning calmed down for a moment, and his mind turned around and he understood the reason.
There is no doubt that these people must have admitted the wrong person. If they were not mistaken, the real prince was the hostage who was buried in the bamboo forest by himself.
His appearance is almost exactly the same as the hostage, and with this outfit, it is no wonder that he was mistaken for the prince.
"It turns out that kid is actually a prince." Yang Ning said in his heart.
He was quite interested in history in his previous life and had read many books, but he was very familiar with the title "Crown Prince".
The crown prince was the eldest son of the princes in ancient times, or the one who inherited the throne or title. However, the heirs of the emperor were mostly called the crown prince, and the successors of the princes were called the crown prince.
Although Yang Ning knew that the hostage was from a wealthy family, he could not have expected that he was a prince. However, after thinking about it, he probably only had the weight of the prince to make the Northern Han spies believe that they could make meritorious and rewarded.
"Criminal Master?" The big man's voice interrupted Yang Ning's thoughts. He raised his head and said "Ah". The scarred man looked respectful. He seemed to be too tall. Being condescending would make Yang Ning feel oppressed. He bent over and smiled kindly: "Criminal Master wants to drink?"
Although he had a smile on his face, his scar face was so uglier than crying.
Yang Ning smiled and asked, "Is there... Is there any wine?" But he thought in his heart that these people turned the wrong person into the prince. If he told them that he had mistakenly recognized someone, these people would definitely go after the roots and find the body, and he would definitely not be able to escape and would be forced to lead the way by them.
If they were taken to find the body buried in the bamboo forest, how could these people believe that the prince's death had nothing to do with him?
After all, they were wearing the prince's clothes and were worn out, so they could not believe their words. What's more, the people at the scene were almost dead. Apart from themselves, the only person who knew that someone was kidnapped was Xiao Guang, but Xiao Guang was missing, and even if he had a mouth full of himself, he couldn't explain clearly.
At this time, of course, I can't tell them the truth, I can only act according to the opportunity.
Moreover, I knew nothing about the background and even the temperament of the prince. If I accidentally exposed it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In this case, it is best to be cautious in your words and actions, the less you speak, the better.
The only thing that the prince knew about was that the fat man in gray robe once mentioned that he seemed to be a fool, but he still knew nothing about how stupid he was.
However, Yang Ning believes that the prince would never be really an idiot. Maybe it was just a half-step slower response. Otherwise, how could an idiot become a prince?
If nothing unexpected happens, these people in front of you are all servants of the prince. Looking at the scarred man asking Wen Yan, you can also know that the prince still has the ability to speak and seems to like drinking. Otherwise, the scarred man would not have come up and ask if he wants to drink.
When Yang Ning asked if there was any wine, the scarred man smiled and said, "There is wine and wine." He turned around and shouted, "Qi Feng, come quickly. By the way, the prince must be tired, so hurry up and take the seat cushion."
Several people immediately rushed, some took food, some took wine, and some even pulled the cushion from the horse's back and put it on the ground to mat it. Then Yang Ning was invited to sit down.
Yang Ning has been traveling through time until now, but he has never received such treatment. He only feels extremely helpful.
Almost all the mats on several horses were pulled off. Except for two placed on the ground to serve wine and food, the rest were placed under Yang Ning's butt.
After Yang Ning sat down, the food and wine had already been put on. In addition to some dry food, there were two roast chickens and a large bag of beef, but they were already cold and covered with a layer of frozen oil.
After Yang Ning traveled through time, he had not eaten meat yet. At this time, he saw that he was not freezing oil or not. He grabbed a roast chicken in his hand and swallowed it voraciously.
Several people were surrounded by Yang Ning. Seeing Yang Ning swallowing her voraciously, her face was full of excitement. The scarred man glanced at a tall and thin man next to him and smiled and said, "Qi Feng, look, the prince is really hungry." He picked up the wine bag, opened the plug, held it in his hands and handed it to Yang Ning, "Prince, eat it slowly, so much more, don't choke, come and have a drink."
Yang Ning took the wine bag and drank it. The mouth was a bit strong, but the wine was also strong, so it was not bad wine. He put down the wine bag and stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, and said vaguely: "You...you will enjoy it too, bring roast chicken and wine when you go out...!"
He said casually, but the faces of several people changed slightly. The scarred man hurriedly said, "Criminal Master, we... After we learned that the prince was captured, we immediately assigned people to pursue him. We did not dare to be negligent all day and night. Looking for clues along the way, we would have to find the prince and protect the prince's complete life...!"
Yang Ning thought to himself that Zhou Quan is a big deal. Your prince has now been buried. You guys are just a bunch of candids. When you find them, the corpse will turn into bones.
The scar-faced man still explained: "We found clues along the way and knew that the prince might be brought to this area, so we searched day and night, but... but in order to maintain our physical strength and energy, we bought these on the road. In fact... it was also to find the prince, so that the prince could have a full meal...!"
The man named Qi Feng next to him immediately said, "Criminal Master, Duan Er Ge did not lie. After leaving the capital, we worked day and night, looking for the whereabouts of the prince. Duan Er Ge often cried and said that if he could not find the prince, he would not return to the capital...!"
When Yang Ning heard the four words "Wasting tears" and was drinking, the wine was still in his mouth, and it was spraying out all on the face of the scarred man.
Everyone was stunned. The scarred man raised his hand to wipe the wine from his face. Yun Danfeng Qing turned his head and patted Qi Feng on the shoulder, sighed softly: "Don't tell the prince about these things. Now that he has found the prince, it is better than anything else."
Qi Feng said with a sigh: "Brother Duan, what I said is true. Are you worried about the prince day and night, and we can't even say it? You are loyal to the prince. Who doesn't know the brothers present? Prince, the things Duan bought are actually to replenish our physical strength. He himself... He hasn't eaten for many days." He flew out and was passionate.
Yang Ning showed suspicion. Seeing the scarred man was energetic, he didn't feel like he didn't sleep day and night, nor did he feel like he didn't eat for many days.
The scarred man reached out to grab Qi Feng's hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "Brother Qi Feng, you...I won't say anything, I will share your life and death with you in this life!"
Qi Feng immediately smiled and said, "Brother Duan, can you owed me the ten taels of silver, can you return to the capital...?"
The scarred man immediately interrupted and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Wushang, take two people to search here to see if there are any other people, be careful."
A cold-faced man bowed and said yes, and took people around to investigate.
"Your surname is Duan?" Yang Ning had already solved most of the roast chicken in a moment, drank a sip of wine, and asked at the scarred man.
The scarred man obviously did not expect Yang Ning to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and said depressedly: "Criminal Master, have you...did you forget your humble position?"
Yang Ning raised his hand and pointed at his brain, "I've been dizzy these days and can't remember many things. I look familiar with you, but I can't remember your name."
The scar-faced man hurriedly said, "Duan Canghai, I have been in the mansion for many years. Is the prince remembering it?"
"Duan Canghai?" Yang Ning said, grinning and said, "This is a good name."
"Thank you for your praise from the prince." The scar-faced man smiled and said, "This name was taken by the general himself when he was there, and he also thought it was very nice."
"General?" Yang Ning asked in confusion: "Which general?"
The scar-faced man Duan Canghai froze his smile, looking a little embarrassed: "Criminal, you...you shouldn't even forget General Wei, right? Then...that's your father."
This time, Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that the prince's father was actually a general. He said "Oh" and said, "My father's surname is Wei!"
Duan Canghai showed a laughing and crying expression and explained: "The prince remembered wrongly that the general was not Wei, but Qi. General Wei was one of the three generals. In addition to the first-rank general, General Cavalry, General Cheqi and General Wei were General Second-rank Third-rank General, General Wei was your father's title!"
Yang Ning realized it only then, and was embarrassed, but was also surprised. He thought to himself that the prince's father was actually a second-rank general of guard, and it seemed that he had a deep background.
Seeing Yang Ning looking thoughtful, Duan Canghai couldn't help but point at Qi Feng next to him and asked, "Criminal, do you remember him? Do you know what his name is?"
Yang Ning said: "Isn't he Qi Feng?"
"The prince is wise!" Duan Canghai breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that the prince still remembers him."
Yang Ning said: "Didn't you call him Qi Feng just now?"
Duan Canghai was stunned and even more embarrassed. However, Qi Feng had already pulled his sleeve and winked. Duan Canghai understood the intention and said to Yang Ning: "Your Majesty eat slowly, don't worry!" He stood up and followed Qi Feng to the side. Yang Ning ate and drank heavily while listening.
Qi Feng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Duan, you don't know that whenever things are more complicated, the prince's mind will be confused. The more he talks, the more he becomes, the more he is messed up. It's better not to say more. I think the prince must have suffered a lot and was frightened a lot, so his mind was confused for a while."
