Chapter 2 Frost Blade (VI)

"I..." The little fat squatted on the ground and struggled in pain.

He is the second prince, the youngest son of the emperor Shi Chonggui who was taken away by the Khitans! One of the two princes lost among the people is also very likely to be the only one who lives.

As long as he nodded, he would become the sole heir of the Great Jin State and then live in a picturesque country.

Although the throne is somewhat inconsistent with its name and is destined to be manipulated by King Liu Zhiyuan of Han. However, he did not have the opportunity to regain power. According to what he learned over the years, there are four or five other governors of the army, besides King Liu Zhiyuan of Han, now there seem to be four or five other soldiers holding heavy troops. If the response strategy is right, he will be able to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight!

The temptation in front of him was so sweet that it made it difficult for him to muster up the courage to refuse. However, there was a piercing pain in his mind, which came one after another, reminding him that the second prince had no relationship with him at all!

He is not a phoenix son, he is definitely not. Although he looks very similar to the person in the painting, except for his appearance, he and the Shi family are not as good as the Shi family in other aspects!

"I am not only the minister of the King of Han, but also the minister of the Great Jin. His Majesty the Holy Lord once had the grace of survival for me. I am not able to stop the Khitan iron hoof for Your Majesty, but I am willing to recommend you to the prince with all my passion!" Guo Yunming suddenly lifted his robe, knelt on his knees, and bowed deeply to Xiaofei.

"You...?" Xiaofei looked up and stared blankly at his well-proportioned figure and meticulous black hair wrapped in his head. What kind of old grace does Shi Chonggui have for the surname Guo? He could not find any trace in his memory. But with his understanding of Guo Yunming, if he gets secret help from this person, his chances of regaining power from Liu Zhiyuan in the future will double! (Note 1)

"I can swear to the sky!" Seeing that Xiaofei seemed to be moved, Guo Yunming kowtowed again and quickly raised his right palm, "The god is above, Guo Yunming swore here today, and he will assist my master with his own heart in this life, if there is..."

"Boom--!" A loud noise suddenly came from outside, and then the carriage suddenly stopped, smashing him and Xiao Fei into a rolling gourd at the same time.

"Save the car!"

"Save the car——!"

"Don't panic, your highness, I will come to save you!"

......

In the fields, the shouts were like the tide of the sea. Soon, feather arrows shot into the carriage, hitting the banana leaves as fast as rain.

"Damn it!" Guo Yunming gritted his teeth and got up, drawing out a horizontal knife from a few short strokes. "Your Highness, don't panic, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!"

After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage with a very unmatched flexibility in the image of a Confucian scholar. Then, he touched his elbows hard and tightened the door from the outside cleanly!

"Hey! Hey--! I, I'm still locked in the iron cage!" The little fat got up and tried to go out to check. Who was coming outside? But he was blocked in the rear half of the carriage by the cold iron railings.

Guo Yunming's voice came from outside, with his stingy stockings, "Guo Fang, you take the two brothers of the two gangs to open the road ahead! Han Peng, you lead the two brothers of the two gangs to detour and seize the opponent's retreat. Li Wenfeng, Wang Xiuwu, you two lead your brothers to follow me and call the enemy's weight. The others, stay here together, surround the carriage, and do not give any thieves the opportunity to take advantage of!"

"Oh!" Knowing that no one could care about him anymore, Xiaofei sighed long and once again set her eyes on the bronze mirror and the scroll.

The more he compares the more he finds that he looks like Zheng Wang in the painting. He is simply made of the same mold. Maybe at least he gets a little thinner, it will be difficult to distinguish each other.

I am the second prince, the second prince of the Great Jin State! My parents were taken away by the Khitans and suffered all kinds of inhuman torture. I must lie in firewood and taste gall, regain my prestige as soon as possible, and personally lead the troops to bring them back!

Thinking of this, he felt a passion surged upwards of his head. He really wanted to rush out of the carriage immediately and fight side by side with Guo Yunming and others. However, the cold iron railings reminded him without hesitation that as long as he refused to admit his identity as a prince, he would still be a prisoner and no one would be his subject!

"Let me out, let me out, I remember it. I remember it, I am the second prince, I am the King of Zheng, the governor of Zhengzhou!" He held the railing with both hands, pulled it hard, and shouted loudly at the same time.

But no one came in to respond, and the shouts of killing outside the carriage were deafening. It was obvious that the offense and defense were fighting hard to distinguish.

"Stop fighting, aren't you trying to save the lord? Gu is King Zheng, and Gu orders you to stop, and all stop! Gu orders you to stop as King Zheng!" Suddenly remembering the purpose reported by the attacker before, Xiao Fei continued to shout.

Since both sides want to serve him, he reluctantly can't accept it. Anyway, there is no need to worry about debt. Whether to be a puppet for a person is a puppet, or a group of people is a puppet or a puppet, there is actually no difference between the puppet itself.

As if he heard his last words, the carriage door was suddenly pulled open from outside. A strong man with a beard jumped in. "Your Highness, come with me quickly. Feng Mo, the fourth commander of the Second Army of the Second Left Army of the Guards, came to rescue the chariot, and please forgive me!"

After saying that, he raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed a string of Mars on the iron fence, "Dang chang chang chang..."

"You, since you are here to rescue Jia, why did you kill Guo Yunming's people? Stop it quickly, go out and pass on oral instructions for me. Then I told you that you should stop fighting, and both sides should protect Gu and go to Taiyuan together!" He was not used to his new identity, so Xiaofei took two steps back and gave orders.

"Your Highness, the old thief Liu Zhiyuan has no good intentions! You can't go to his side." Feng Mo, the bearded man, refused to obey his orders at all, and continued to hold up the steel knife to chop the iron fence.

"What is Liu Zhiyuan's thought? That's me, that's Gu's business. Stop it immediately! Stop it. If you cut me away, Gu will not follow you. Gu doesn't know you at all. Why do you believe that you don't have the same thoughts as others?" Xiao Fei was so angry that she stamped her feet, opened her throat, and roared loudly.

"You..." The strong man looked up and looked at him blankly, looking at him with a look of disappointment. "Your Highness, what did you say? You don't believe in the general? Why don't you believe in the general? The general, the general is the queen's clan member. The general hugged you when you were six years old. Have you forgotten all?!"

"Ah!" Xiao Fei was shocked and blurted out of surprise.

The other party actually hugged him and knew what he looked like when he was a child. But why did he feel that he had never seen this person at all? He couldn't even find any relevant content in his memory?

I was about to ask a few more questions to verify the identities of both parties. A shout came from my ears, "Don't panic, my husband is back! Thieves, don't hurt my master!"

Before he finished speaking, Guo Yunming had already jumped into the carriage like a kite. Through the iron fence, he fought with the bearded Feng Mo. He went back and forth, and each refused to give in.

"Stop, stop quickly! He is here to rescue you too. I, I order you two to stop!" Xiao Fei rushed forward a few steps, pressed her body against the iron fence that imprisoned him and shouted.

Still no one listened to his orders. Guo Yunming and Feng Mo seemed to have a hatred for a lifetime, and the sword rushed straight to the opponent's vital points. Soon, blood splattered, dyeing the axis on the ground red.

"What the hell are you two going to do?" Xiaofei was angry and anxious, bent down and picked up Shunhua, and wiped the blood with her sleeve. Where was it still time? The red plasma dissipated the ink marks in a blink of an eye, blurring the face of the portrait.

"You ruined the portrait of my father!" The pain of losing a loved one quickly occupied his body. He instantly lost all his reason, pointing at the bearded Feng Mo and the white-clothed Guo Yunming, loudly rebuked, "Since you are his guard, why do you have no respect for him? And you, you just said that you would be loyal to me, but turned a blind eye to my orders!"

No one paid attention to him. Feng Mo broke his left arm, but he became more and more brave as he fought. Guo Yunming's head was cut off half and he was emitting his head, as if he was crazy.

Soon, the third and fourth sword lights flashed in the carriage. Two men in iron armor jumped in one after another, and together with Guo Yunming, they cut Feng Mo to the ground and cut off his throat with one knife!

"Don't blame your highness!" Guo Yunming freed his right hand and groped back and forth on Feng Mo's body. "This man has already defected to the Khitan, and he must have Khitan's waist card!"

However, after exploring for a while, he stood up empty-handedly. He smiled awkwardly and cursed in a low voice: "This dog thief is so cunning! He doesn't want to leave any trace. Li Wenfeng, Wang Xiuwu, you two go to trial the prisoners. Within half an hour, be sure to pry their mouths open and ask who the main messenger behind the scenes is!"

"Yes!" Both of them bowed their heads and jumped out of the carriage with bloody swords.

"Several people come in and clean the car!" Guo Yunming avoided Xiao Fei's suspicious gaze, poked his half of his body out of the carriage, and continued to issue orders.

Several soldiers arrived with clothes that were taken off the corpse, bent down, and wiped it hard. After a while, they cleaned the carriage. Except for the still strong bloody smell, there was no trace of fighting.

The head of the capital, Li Wenfeng, also gained something at this time, and quickly returned with a piece of white cloth written with a blood letter. He saluted Guo Yunming first, and then lowered his voice to report, "Report to the Chief Secretary, there are several prisoners who admit that they are the subordinates of Duke Qi!"

"This old wolf has a sharp nose! I will take Your Highness to set off first. You can find someone else to carefully verify the confession. After verification..." He waved his hand decisively, and he gave the other party enough hint.

"As for the order!" Li Wenfeng bowed and then quickly left.

Guo Yunming continued to command his cavalry to rectify the team and bandage the lottery number. After the carriage started again, he closed the door with force.

Back at the iron fence, he bowed to Xiaofei, "Your Highness, it is related to your safety. I dare not be careless. You probably heard the report just now. The other party was from Duke Qi. I didn't know where to find out about you, so I chased you and wanted to kidnap you to Xuzhou!"

"Duke Qi, who is Duke Qi?" Xiaofei seemed to understand and asked with a mist on her head.

"You, Your Highness doesn't know who is Duke Qi?" Guo Yunming was also startled by the question raised by Xiao Fei. He was stunned for a while before saying with a wry smile: "It's the fault of the minister, but I forgot that your nobleman was injured!"

"I seem to have heard of this official title vaguely, but it doesn't match the real person!" Xiaofei pointed to his head and smiled, shook her head awkwardly.

"Your Highness, don't blame me! Please tell me to you slowly!" Guo Yunming had no choice but to be a teacher for a while and introduce the opponent's ins and outs in detail. "Duke Qi is Fu Yanqing, the governor of Xuzhou! When the dog thief Du Chongwei led his troops to surrender to the enemy, the water fell. The Holy Lord issued an order to transfer him and Gao Xingzhou to lead his troops to the Bianliang, but he and Gao Jie handed over to the Khitans halfway! Now that the Khitans were about to be unable to hold on, they jumped out to be loyal ministers and righteous men again!"

"Oh, so that's it!" Xiao Fei immediately lost his favor for Fu Yanqing, and he also had no sympathy for Feng Mo being killed in front of him. He just looked at the portrait in his arms that was blurred by blood, and felt very regretful.

"Don't be sad, your highness, there should be other portraits of the Holy Lord in the Han Palace." Unwilling to let him be depressed for a painting, Guo Yunming whispered to comfort him. "When Bianliang is taken back, there will definitely be many relics left by the Holy Lord and the late Holy Queen in the palace! Your Highness can open a special palace to collect them in case of memorial service at any time!"

"Oh—!" Xiaofei still felt sad and nodded absent-mindedly. But soon, he was stunned again and raised the second strange question, "The late Saint Queen, you just said, my mother, my mother is gone? Who killed her? Tell me, tell me quickly, I will definitely avenge her!" (Note 2)

"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't worry!" Guo Yunming was once again amused and waved his hand to explain, "Your Highness's biological mother came from a famous family and was the daughter of Mr. Zhang, the governor of the two states of De. She is virtuous, but unfortunately, she died of illness at the beginning of Tianfu. At that time, the Holy Lord had not ascended the throne."

"Ah! This, this..." Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, her face blushed.

Even if he is really the second prince, he still has a lot of skills to put in. Otherwise, he would have to be regarded as an impostor in front of a group of old ministers in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Fortunately, Guo Yunming had learned from Wu Ruofu that he had left a hidden disease due to head injury, so he made sufficient preparations in advance. He first gave him a comforting smile, then walked back to the side of the low-end, took out a book from below, holding it with both hands, "It's still half a month away from Taiyuan. If your highness has time, you might as well recall this genealogy carefully. Inside is the name of the saints of the royal dynasty in this dynasty. Your Highness read it, it will probably help you recover your memory as soon as possible!"

"Ah, thank you!" Xiao Fei felt like she had a treasure, and took the book through the iron fence and flipped it quickly.

The most superficial pages of the book are almost moistened by blood, but the handwriting is clear and the text is as clear as ever. However, the text content on it is quite complicated, and the difficulty of reading sentences is far beyond his level of knowledge.

Frowning, he carefully wiped off the blood stains on the most surface pages of the book. While he was browsing hard, he tried to understand his family genealogy without relying on anyone.

This action caused Guo Yunming to misunderstand. He quickly smiled and explained in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay to kill those blood stains. This royal genealogy was specially copied by the sage after the Holy Lord ascended the throne. It was only when Bianliang was broken last year that it flowed into the hands of the empress. After so many years, the text on it has long become old moist, and even if it is moistened by blood, it will not be blurred!"

"Oh--!" Xiaofei responded absent-mindedly for the second time. The light from the corner of her eyes accidentally fell on the scroll in her arms. The ink traces that outlined the portrait dispersed even more violently, almost blending with the blood, and it was difficult to tell which one was first and who was later.

The atmosphere in the carriage instantly became extremely awkward. Guo Yunming's face turned slightly red and he slowly retreated for a certain distance to prevent a fool from suddenly hurting others.

"This painting was written by Guo Changshi last night. It's really a good brushwork!" Xiao Fei put down the genealogy of the Royal Family of Jin, and his fists clenched. He was blocked by the iron railing. He could not touch Guo Yunming's hair, but his eyes were like two horizontal knives, poking the other party's lies into holes. "However, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you! I suddenly remembered it! My surname is Ning, and my name is Ning Yanzhang!"
