"Who said that the king is leaving?"
It stands to reason that since the prince has waited for the fourth prince, he should seize the time to continue the expedition.
What's more, Liu Yin wasted a day's work. There is no reason to stay in Jincheng.
But when everyone looked at the prince's expression, it was obvious that he didn't look like he was joking.
"When does the prince plan to leave?"
Zai Han Zhong thought that if the prince wanted to stay one night, that would be fine.
The journey ahead is long and it will take at least four days to reach the next city or county.
At worst, after setting off on the expedition, all we need to do is speed up the march of the troops.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi said.
"I haven't decided yet. It may be one day or two days. Anyway, I will notify you when it's time to leave."
Thinking that he might have to stay in this small town for several days, Liu Yin couldn't sit still for a moment.
"Brother, you want to stay here? Is there something wrong?"
After all, he was a day late. Although Liu Yin was reluctant, he finally lost some confidence when he spoke.
"I think this Jincheng is pretty good. I want to see more of it. Isn't that okay?"
Liu Yin finally couldn't stand such a casual attitude.
"Your Highness, do you want to know? Now that you are leading a large army on an expedition, your military schedule will be delayed. Do you bear the responsibility? How can you explain it to your father?"
Liu Qi narrowed his eyes, his expression gloomy, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"I am the coach! When will it be your turn to point the finger?"
Liu Yin was trembling with anger. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Qi.
"you..."
"Liu Yin, believe it or not, if you say one more word, I will ask someone to drag you out to fight thirty times again!"
Liu Yin immediately closed his mouth.
He knew that since Liu Qi dared to say this, he would definitely dare to do it.
At this time, Liu Qi suddenly stood up and looked at Qin Wei beside him.
"I am going to the camp, so you can stay and eat by yourself."
After saying that, he led Wei Qin out of the hall, leaving a group of people standing in the room looking at each other...
.......
Although the prince's actions were not in line with the rules of going on an expedition.
But Qin Wei knew that he wanted to investigate clearly what happened in Jincheng.
I tried to persuade him several times, but in the end I still didn’t speak.
When he went outside the city, Liu Qi did something that surprised Qin Wei.
"Turn the car around and let's head towards the camp from the direction of the dense forest."
Although it is possible to take a detour through the dense forest to reach the camp, this is completely a way of seeking the far distance at the expense of the near.
"Your Highness."
"No need to ask, just go."
Wei Qin did not dare to ask any more questions and looked at Han Dalin who was leading the horse.
"Listen to the prince and let's go."
After a while, Liu Qi's carriage entered the depths of the dense forest.
But at this moment, Liu Qi ordered someone to stop the carriage. Then he got out of the car and walked around the carriage.
No one knew what he was going to do, so they just waited quietly.
Almost half an hour passed, and the alert Qin Wei was the first to hear something moving in the forest.
"Everyone be on alert!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly became tense, and they all drew their swords from their waists.
However, Liu Qi stood in the center of the crowd with a very calm expression.
Just when Han Dalin and others thought that General Qin had heard wrongly, they saw a figure actually appear in the dense forest.
Han Dalin immediately shouted loudly.
"Who is coming?"
The man didn't respond and continued walking forward.
At this time, Qin Wei's face was filled with surprise. He first looked at the man who came, and then at the prince.
"Your Highness, isn't this the assassin that night?"
Liu Qi smiled slightly.
"Put down your weapons and let him come over."
No matter what, she was alone, not to mention not Qin Wei's opponent. Liu Qi was not worried at all about his own safety.
"Your Highness, no!"
What Qin Wei didn't expect the most was that facing the assassin coming over, the prince actually walked towards him.
"It doesn't matter."
When he was about ten steps away, Liu Qi stopped.
Qin Wei followed behind, preparing to be on guard at any time.
However, the assassin suddenly spoke.
"You...are you the prince?"
"That's right."
The simple response made the assassin suddenly excited.
In an instant, she took off her black scarf and hood.
At this moment, everyone who saw her face, except Liu Qi, was surprised.
"You...you are actually a woman?"
Wei Qin really didn't expect that the assassin turned out to be a woman. More importantly, looking at the prince's expression, he seemed to have known it for a long time.
"My little daughter Zhao Wenhui, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Unlike other women, Zhao Wenhui knelt down on one knee, like a warrior.
Liu Qi was slightly surprised.
Because just these words from her mouth are not something ordinary people can say.
"Get up!"
Zhao Wenhui stood up, and it was from this moment that Liu Qi truly saw her appearance.
Jade-like skin is like pear blossoms in early spring, both delicate and tough. The two curved thin eyebrows are smart and natural.
The bridge of the nose is high and straight, giving people a sense of coldness, and the slightly raised corners of the lips carry a touch of mockery and indifference, seeming to look down on everything in the world.
Her long hair was as smooth as silk, dancing in the breeze.
The most striking thing is her big eyes. Like a deep lake.
When she stares at you, you feel as if you are drawn to her gaze and unable to look away.
Looking up and down, you can see that she is wearing a tight-fitting night gown that outlines her graceful figure, with just the right amount of fullness and lines, which is enough to make people stunning.
Liu Qi took a deep breath.
"Tell me, why did you assassinate me? If you can't tell me, you won't be able to leave today!"
"Your Highness, please make the decision for my little girl!"
After saying this, Zhao Wenhui's emotions suddenly became unbearable, and she collapsed on the ground, crying like a pear blossom.
Liu Qi frowned slightly and looked at her. After she cried for a while, he continued to speak.
"Your Highness, my daughter is the daughter of Zhao Weixian, the magistrate of Luzhang County."
Luzhang County, Liu Qi knew, was a small county under the jurisdiction of Jincheng.
"How could she be the daughter of a county magistrate and come to Jincheng to be an assassin?"
"Your Highness, please listen to me. Just last month, my father suddenly returned home in a hurry, saying that he had something important to do and had to go to Jincheng."
"At that time, I saw that my father looked nervous, as if the matter was urgent, so he did not ask further questions."
"However, after half a month, there was no news from my father and he has never returned..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Wenhui was a little excited and sobbed a few times.
Liu Qi frowned seriously.
"Keep talking."
"After that, my daughter was really worried, so she came to Jincheng alone. However, Shi Kelin's answer made my daughter never expect..."
