Liu Fengsui was startled, and just when he was about to speak to stop Xu Zizhen, Bu Fen opened his mouth at the side.
"Fuck you, how many officials in the world are stupid? Are you still waiting for you to go back and find him?"
One person is short-witted, not to mention that Xu Zizhen is the leader of the impulsive faction. When his mind is hot, he never thinks about things so comprehensively. Now that he was interrupted by Bu Fen, he calmed down.
Thinking about it, even if the prefect of Jiangning took away Liu Fengsui's mother after Zhao Kai left, there was no reason to raise her for more than half a year in vain just to wait for Liu Fengsui, and Zhao Kai wanted Liu Fengsui to do it.
He does something shameful, and there is no reason to support his mother for so long. He is a prince, and he has enough food to worry about such trivial matters all day long.
The good thing now may be that Liu Fengsui's mother was thrown away somewhere, wandering around. The bad thing may be that the prefect of Jiangning or Zhao Kai thought it was troublesome and had already thrown her into the river without seeing her body.
Xu Zizhen walked back and forth in the room, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. Somehow he always felt that this matter was not that simple, and there seemed to be some hidden reasons floating in front of his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly stopped and asked Liu Fengsui: "Second brother, were you famous in the world before?"
Liu Fengsui was startled: "My mother has always been very strict with her younger brother and never hangs out outside. How can he be famous?"
Xu Zizhen sneered and said: "I guess there is only one reason, and that is that Zhao Kai is colluding with the Jiangning prefect. His purpose is to find an unknown person who is skilled and courageous but has to work hard for him, and you are him.
This is the kind of person you are looking for.”
Liu Fengsui couldn't believe it: "This... shouldn't be the case, right? As a prince, why would he be so deceitful to a commoner like me?"
Xu Zizhen said: "For his good reputation, he has to build an archway. He is a prince. It is not difficult at all to find out your family background. Someone like you who has both skills and no backing is what he is looking for."
Human?"
If Xu Zizhen had not known that King Yun Zhao Kai was such a person, he would have been deceived by his amiable appearance. Originally, he and Zhao Kai would not have had any interaction. For the sake of Zhao Gou's face, he would have just dealt with it perfunctorily.
But now Xu Zizhen was aroused by this incident.
If Zhao Kai really did this, there are only two words to describe it - inferior work!
The discussion about Liu Fengsui has reached a deadlock. Xu Zizhen doesn't know what to do next, and Liu Fengsui doesn't know either. There is silence in the room.
Liu Fengsui was sent by Zhao Kai to assassinate Li Qianshun. His mother was rescued by Zhao Kai and put under house arrest. But is it possible to go to Bianjing to find Zhao Kai in person? Or should he go back to Jiangning Prefecture and capture the prefect for torture?
I don't know how much time passed, but He Liangliang suddenly said: "Brother, we might as well go back to Bianjing first. I can sneak into Prince Yun's palace to inquire sooner or later. I may be able to find out something, but I haven't decided yet."
Xu Zizhen immediately rejected the suggestion. He Liangliang could climb the wall, but where was Prince Yun's Mansion? Can he easily get in and get information?
This didn't work, that didn't work either. Xu Zizhen was so worried that his tooth ached, and Liu Fengsui was even more depressed. He gritted his teeth and sat aside in silence. His originally good hopes were suddenly shattered, and he couldn't accept it no matter what.
In the end, Bu Fen and Tang Lun gave a suggestion. It was better to go back to Bianjing first and ask Zhao Gou and Kaiping Wang Yongye to help inquire.
They decided to turn off the lights and go to bed, and they made an appointment to leave early the next morning. It was fine that Liu Fengsui didn't know before, but now that Xu Zizhen said this, he immediately lost his mind and felt that he was the most unfilial and rebellious son in the world.
He actually left his mother alone for so many days.
None of them fell asleep all night. They got up before dawn, washed up and then came to see the grower. The grower didn't expect them to just leave, but Xu Zizhen briefly explained the matter.
It became clear to the later commanders that Bu Fen and He Liangliang stayed behind to take the Shenji Battalion with them, while Liu Fengsui and Xu Zizhen returned to Bianjing first.
As for Su San, there was no need to follow her back, and she went straight to Zhending to meet her father. She was willing to admit defeat, and Xu Zizhen really wanted her to go back and reunite with her father, so it was pointless to follow him all the time.
Xu Zizhen bid farewell to the Zhongshi and Deshun Army generals as quickly as possible, and then crossed Liupan Mountain with Liu Feng to Bianjing. In fact, he also knew that there was no need to rush like this when the matter had dragged on to this point.
But he is an orphan and knows the pain of loneliness and helplessness after losing his parents. He feels the same pain, so he wants to help Liu Fengsui find his mother as soon as possible.
Along the way, he secretly observed Liu Fengsui's expression from time to time, fearing that he would lose control and do something stupid under such stimulation. But to his surprise, Liu Fengsui started to act like he did after leaving the Deshun Army barracks.
He gradually regained his composure, and even suddenly spoke before arriving in Jingzhou.
"Brother, please take a rest first. I'm fine."
Xu Zizhen was surprised and asked tentatively: "Have you... figured it out?"
"I figured it out." Liu Fengsui smiled bitterly, "It's been more than half a year since I lost contact with my mother. What's the use of going to Bianjing now? She won't wait for me there, so I'd better go back to my elder brother first.
It's only proper that you finish the wedding."
Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of rushing. He would be as tired as a dog at most, but he was afraid that Liu Fengsui would not be able to think about things too much. Excessive mental stress would be worse than physical fatigue. But now he is better. Now that Liu Fengsui has figured this out,
Naturally, there is no need to rush on the road again.
The speed of the two slowed down. Not far ahead were the mountains, which looked lush and green in this sunny spring, making people feel relaxed involuntarily.
Xu Zizhen's speed slowed down, but his mind did not stop. He allowed Xiao Baicai to walk leisurely, thinking carefully about the things he should do next. Liu Fengsui seemed to have regained his temper when he first met Xu Zizhen.
He seemed to be admiring the scenery and reciting a poem or two from time to time. At first glance, he looked like two scholars on their way.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them gradually entered a dense jungle. This was at the foot of the mountain peak they had just seen. The trees were covering the sky and the sun was blocked. The light in the forest was quite dark. Xu Zizhen was still deep in thought when he suddenly raised his head and saw this scene.
Suddenly, a common scene on TV seemed to appear before his eyes - robbery.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud bang in the forest, and then a group of people rushed out to block him and Liu Fengsui. There were about a dozen people, led by a red-faced man holding a handle in his hand.
Pu Dao pointed at Xu Zizhen and said: "Those two boys, keep your money and horses, I will spare your life."
Xu Zizhen almost laughed out loud in anger. When did I become so knowledgeable about things? Is there really a way to calamity?
Seeing that he didn't answer, the red-faced man thought that the two scholars were frightened, so he added with a grin: "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone easily, as long as you keep your money...ah wow!"
Without saying a word, Liu Fengsui threw away a flying stone. As soon as he said the word "down" with a red face, a flying stone accurately shot off his two front teeth. The man screamed, covered his mouth and fell off his horse.
Before he could raise his head, a long knife was placed on his neck.
Xu Zizhen squatted beside him and said with a smile: "You are still a tribulation at this level? Your name is Li Gui, right?"
