This king?
What king?
This substitute is out of his mind. Does he really think he is a prince?
Even if the third prince dies and you, the substitute, pretend to be the third prince, you will still lose your head!
The square-faced man looked at Chen Qin with wide eyes and confusion.
Others also frowned, their eyes full of inquiry.
"What is your intention in pretending to be His Highness?!"
The other four people in the carriage, as well as the man driving the carriage, were all waiting for Chen Qin's answer.
Chen Qin said: "Eunuch Zhou protected my substitute and died together with him. I feel very sorry for him."
"You dare to pretend to be the third prince? I'll chop you up with a knife!"
Chen Qin was not afraid, his eyes gleamed, he looked at these five strange men, and his words were sonorous and powerful: "Kill me? You guys think about it carefully. Since you have shouldered the mission of escorting me out of the city, you must go." The poisoned queen is on the must-kill list. Besides following this king wholeheartedly, is there any other way out for you?"
"The Poison Queen..."
Queen Wan Mengyan is a character that scares countless people.
Beautiful appearance, snake heart.
Few people who offended her ended well.
In the past, when His Majesty was around, she couldn't do anything too outrageous. But now that His Majesty is probably dead, no one can stop this crazy woman!
Except for Chen Qin, the other five people in the car fell silent.
After hearing this, the square-faced man looked in a daze and did not respond for a long time.
"The Poison Queen...it's over..."
In the end, the knife he held in his hand slumped down, like a bereaved dog.
Chen Qin's face was indifferent: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as I am here, I will have a way to solve it. If I die, there will be no place for you in heaven and on earth."
"this……"
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Finally, the burly man with a broad face and thick eyebrows left the seat, bowed down and said: "Young man Yang Zhaozhong, please pay homage to Your Highness!"
Chen Qin nodded. The people in this carriage were all rough and strong. He seemed to have strong limbs but a simple mind, and he was worried that these people would not understand him.
Unexpectedly, there is someone with a quick mind.
"Yang Zhaozhong, please get up. I have always known your loyalty."
Where there is one there are two. Another tall man with a beard and simple clothes also bowed down:
"Young man Wu Jin, come and see His Highness!"
Then, the tall and thin man driving the car said:
"The villain, Lu Fengnan, is driving for His Highness, so it is inconvenient for him to salute. I hope His Highness will not be surprised."
"Lu Fengnan, I will not blame you."
Another handsome-looking man in the car sighed and bowed down too:
"The villain Zuo asks about virtue and goes to see His Highness."
"Zuo Wende, please get up."
In the end, only the square-faced man was left with a shocked face: "Are you all crazy?! Recognize him as your highness?! He is a substitute!"
Yang Zhaozhong said: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. The Poison Queen's actions and methods are completely worthy of the word 'poison'. You and I both know this. We have obeyed His Highness's orders and have been put on the Poison Queen's kill list. When the Fourth Prince succeeds to the throne, can you and I escape death? If we leave the capital to seek survival, how can we survive without His Highness’s old acquaintances and acquaintances? "
"But my family is still in the capital..."
Yang Zhaozhong shouted angrily: "Who's family here is not in the capital?! But what can we do in this situation?! If you don't go back, the Poison Queen may still keep them. If you go back, I'm afraid the Poison Queen will immediately One pot is ready!”
After hearing this, the square-faced man finally stopped struggling.
He put the knife back to his waist angrily, knelt down and said:
"The little man Gao Bo, please pay homage to Your Highness."
Chen Qin smiled: "Gao Bo, I am very pleased that you can find your way back. Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Gao Bo sat back down depressedly, wondering why he was so unlucky.
Yang Zhaozhong said: "Your Highness, why don't we find a place to dispose of Zhu Muen's body first so that you won't feel uncomfortable in the car."
Chen Qin looked at Zhu Muen's body, and the black blood in his mouth had solidified. A pungent fishy smell, along with the hot air from the stove, filled the entire carriage.
However, Chen Qin shook his head firmly.
Although the smell is unbearable, there are more important things that must be done now.
"I remember...we are leaving from the north gate of the capital to go to Zhanfeng City, right?"
Yang Zhaozhong said: "That's the arrangement."
"Okay. Time is precious. While the poison queen's people are killing the substitute and Eunuch Zhou in the south, let's escape quickly! Lu Fengnan, move forward at full speed and rush out of the north gate as quickly as possible!"
Hearing Chen Qin's words, Lu Fengnan, who was driving the carriage, his eyes lit up and he nodded slightly: "Yes, Your Highness!"
The four people in the car looked at each other and were all shocked by Chen Qin's decisiveness.
Suddenly faced with life and death matters, able to calmly and calmly handle it, this substitute is probably no ordinary beggar!
Chen Qin then asked: "When leaving the city from the north gate, do I need to show any voucher to the guards?"
Yang Zhaozhong shook his head: "No need. Lu Fengnan is the captain of the capital guard, and all the guards in the city recognize him. When he is driving, the guards dare not stop him."
"Okay. Lu Fengnan, then just rush out and don't worry about anything else!"
Lu Fengnan raised his lips and said, "Yes! Your Highness, please sit down!"
After making emergency arrangements, Chen Qin didn't speak anymore, but lowered his eyebrows in thought.
The others stared at him curiously without disturbing him.
After a while, Lu Fengnan said: "Your Highness, you have already left the north gate!"
"Okay, is there no one chasing you?"
"It seems not. It seems that the Poison Queen regards you as a substitute!"
Chen Qin couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
I didn't expect that Lu Fengnan would still joke at this critical moment of life and death.
What an interesting guy.
However, this is not the time for jokes.
Chen Qin continued: "I and my substitute are in the south and north. I am going to Zhanfeng City. Do you know why?"
Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask, he really didn't understand the situation at all.
When he traveled back in time, Chen Qin merged with the memory of a little beggar. He only knew which street was the easiest to get food on and knew nothing about national affairs.
Looking at Chen Qin's confused eyes, Yang Zhaozhong said: "I guess it's because Chu Tang, the city guard of Zhanfeng City, has a grudge against the Poison Queen for killing his wife. His daughter Chu Luoling is the fiancee of His Highness. So. , go to Zhanfeng City and take refuge, you may have a chance to turn around."
Chen Qin nodded, it turned out that he was going to eat soft rice.
"Then, why did the substitute go to the south?"
"It should be to go to Huangzhou to seek refuge with His Highness's uncle, the state magistrate Shen Zhe."
Going south is to seek refuge with blood relatives.
"Zhanfeng City and Huangzhou, which one is closer or further?"
"Zhanfeng City can be reached by car in three days. Huangzhou is stopped and dodged along the way. It will take at least two months to arrive."
Chen Qin frowned: "Is this king's substitute a fool? Instead of going to Zhanfeng City, which is a three-day drive away, he has to travel to Huangzhou for two months. Now, it's good. We haven't arrived in Huangzhou yet, and we have already reached Huangquan. "
Listening to Chen Qin scolding the dead third prince, the others did not dare to agree.
Yang Zhaozhong said: "Your Highness doesn't know something, so... there is a reason for the substitute not to go to Zhanfeng City."
"What's the reason?"
"... His Highness broke off his engagement with Chu Luoling two years ago..."
"Huh? Why would I do this?"
Yang Zhaozhong also looked embarrassed: "It seems that you think Chu Luoling is too aggressive and does not have the gentleness and refinement of a woman..."
"Absurd! I am so angry that I am such a superficial person! I deserve to have to flee! Lu Fengnan, go to Zhanfeng City!"
"That... Chu Luoling's matter..."
Chen Qin said leisurely: "It's a trivial matter. My king's marriage is just an extension of politics. Chu Chengshou, you need me very much now. Look, I will lick this marriage back with my sharp tongue!" "
Yang Zhaozhong was a little confused again: "Why didn't His Highness go to Huangzhou to seek refuge with his uncle, but why did he have to go to Zhanfeng City to suffer the consequences?"
Going to Huangzhou?
Chen Qin chuckled.
He glanced at Yang Zhaozhong indifferently: "You don't really regard Shen Zhe, the magistrate of Huangzhou, as my uncle, do you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
Shen Zhe is close, but he is close to the third prince.
The Chen Qin in front of you is not the third prince. The two of them don't have blood-thicker-water feelings. Why should Shen Zhe help you?
But Chu and Tang are different...
"I have a grudge against the poisonous queen for killing my wife, and my daughter was once the fiancée of the third prince. When the fourth prince succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid the situation will be precarious."
"If Chu Tang knew that His Majesty had passed away, he would definitely try his best to increase his chances of survival."
"And this king is a descendant of the True Dragon, and is the Great Yong orthodoxy. I can provide Chu and Tang with the support he needs most!"
"It's just the right time for me to go."
After some judgment, the people in the car immediately understood the key to the matter.
They were greatly shocked by Chen Qin's ability to adapt to circumstances.
Lu Fengnan smiled slightly as he listened to Chen Qin's words in the carriage, and waved his horsewhip more vigorously.
In the carriage, the four people looked at Chen Qin with faint admiration.
Chen Qin's eyes were extremely firm.
There is no choice for this trip, we must go to Zhanfeng City!
What about a stand-in? !
As long as he reaches Zhanfeng City, even if he is not the third prince, he must still be the third prince!
