Chapter 272 I Really Want You to Die in His Hands
"Master, there seems to be no sound." said the man guarding the boiling water pot.
Kenasu sighed with regret, then looked at the man on the ground who was almost heartbroken and said, "It's really not allowed. I thought it could be cooked for a while longer."
"Gu Changfeng, you're next."
Since the mission failed, Gu Changfeng's life has gone downhill. Now, even his attendant and good brother died because of him. Why didn't he really kill Knasu when he was on the grassland? Did he think he would never meet him again? Now he is the butcher and I am the meat. How can I change my fate of being cooked alive?
Gu Changfeng stopped crying and raised his head like a king. "Okay, you'd better kill me as soon as possible. Otherwise, once I have the chance to fight back, I will cut you into pieces! Send your body to the evil dog and you will never be reborn! Kill me! Kill me!"
This madness really frightened Knasu. He kicked Gu Changfeng and felt very unlucky. "Open the lid!"
Something unexpected could happen in the next second.
"Master, this pot is empty!"
Kenasu also thought he had heard it wrong. He walked over and saw that the box was empty. "Where is the boy? Didn't you throw him in?"
Gu Changfeng felt that he had hope again after hearing this. In such an unreasonable scenario, unless there was help from the system, could it be that Xiao Wo had a change of heart and started to help him secretly?
Soon, there was a commotion at the door, and another person ran in from outside. He looked particularly embarrassed, "Master, someone outside has attacked us! It's Minister Wen from the capital!"
Knasu knew that his new bandit nest could not defeat the regular army, so he had to retreat.
Gu Changfeng seemed to have used up all his strength. After seeing the familiar minister in white, he finally closed his eyes and fainted.
It seemed like a long time had passed. When Gu Changfeng woke up, Wen Heng was counting the losses from the nearly successful suppression of the bandits. Hearing the noise, he said without even looking up, "The prince is finally awake."
Gu Changfeng felt a little embarrassed. The woman who followed him out was his legally married wife, and the purpose of following him out was to find Shen Mingjue. If he had caught up with her, he wouldn't have said anything, but now he didn't catch up with her and was caught by his old enemy, and it was his legal wife who came to save him.
Gu Changfeng thought, why not just tell the truth.
Wen Heng asked someone to pour water for Gu Changfeng, and then he sat up straight and looked at him, "Shouldn't you tell me that we are already a family now? If you chase me out recklessly like this and something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to the emperor."
The words "one family" made Gu Changfeng extremely regretful.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I... Shen Mingjue and I..."
Wen Heng waved his hand and said, "I already know about your affairs." It's easy to guess.
Gu Changfeng widened his eyes slightly, "You know? You know..." Do you still agree to marry me?
"I found out after you chased him out." Wen Heng obviously didn't want to talk about this topic. "Now it's done. There's no point in talking about it. I will explain it clearly to Master Shen."
"What I want to know is that the bandit leader just now didn't look like a Central Plains person."
"He was the former leader of the grassland and king of the Scythian tribe, Kenasu. At that time, we killed his people and let him run away." Gu Changfeng said.
Wen Heng nodded, "Then I understand. Please tell me more about what happened on the grassland."
Gu Changfeng sighed and told Wen Heng everything that had happened on the grassland, how he and Shen Mingjue got back together, how he had a deep hatred for Kenasu, the death of General Shen and Shen Mingjue's disability.
After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, Wen Heng was silent for a long time.
"You really are... If you were not the prince, I would really want you to die in Knasu's hands." Wen Heng finished speaking, and then asked: "Where is the servant who came with you before? My people didn't see him."
"Maybe he was rescued by his friends." It’s better not to let Wen Heng know about Xiao Wo’s affairs.
Wen Heng looked at him and said, "His friends also knew they shouldn't save you."
Gu Changfeng: “…”
"I'll write a letter and you can give it to Shen Mingjue after you find him," Wen Heng said, "He may not read it if you take it to him, so let the postman take it away. I don't have the face to see Master Shen anymore."
"...Thank you very much."
"No need." Wen Heng glanced away in disgust. "If canceling the engagement wasn't against the imperial decree, I would go back and ask the emperor for permission."
"It was me who harmed you. When I return to the capital, I will explain the situation to the emperor."
Seeing that he felt guilty, Wen Heng could only shake his head. He didn't believe that Gu Changfeng would do such a thing that would cost him his life. Anyway, with the engagement, he would be able to go more smoothly in the court. It was just that the third party had a bad reputation.
"Forget it, you go to Xinzhou by yourself. I'll leave ten people to protect you. There are many things to do in the capital, so I'll leave now."
Gu Changfeng: "Okay. Be careful on the road."
Wen Heng gave him a complicated look, said nothing, and took the rest of the people back.
