Gao Shengtai just listened to the brief report of the soldiers and generals, but the specific situation was not clear. When he heard Zhao Ji's question, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Seeing this, Duan Zhengchun ordered the soldiers to say, "Bring the assassin here." According to the tone of the Duan King, things seemed to turn around. Besides, the assassin had been captured, and there were still many martial arts masters on the table, so he was not afraid of any trouble.

Not long after, a girl tied up like a rice dumpling was brought up. It was the little girl Zhong Ling. Although she had been captured, there was not much fear on her face, and she kept struggling to twist her body, looking a little pitiful.

Seeing that the assassin was such a beautiful little girl, everyone's faces became strange. Many people couldn't help but look at the Marquis Shan Chan with a red face. Such a delicate and innocent little girl actually treated her as an assassin, which was outrageous!

Gao Shengtai was angry and said in a deep voice: "What is the situation?"

The soldiers bowed in panic and said, "Report to the prince, marquis, the assassin is this little girl. She mingled in the maid's team and tried to rush to the front. After being interrogated, the inspector found out and found a flaw. Then he injured several soldiers and attacked them. He was quite cruel. Moreover, she also carried a very poisonous mink beast on her body, which was controlled by her voice. Many people were bitten and poisoned during the pursuit..."

In order to prove that this matter was not arranged by himself, Gao Shengtai carefully interrogated several soldiers and even sent someone to carry the injured and poisoned soldiers up. The injured soldiers looked gray, and black and smelly blood gushed out of the injured area, which seemed to be very vicious. Only then did he believe that the seemingly harmless little girl on the ground actually had such chilling and vicious means.

Since Zhong Ling was taken up, Zhao Ji had a wry smile on his lips. He only said that the little girl said she wanted to teach Song Zhi a lesson, but she didn't expect that she was really brave enough to sneak in. But the time was a little short of time. If Gao Shengtai was asked to take advantage of this, he would drag the mission to this Zhenbei Pass, which would be a bad idea. To be honest, Zhao Ji originally had a good impression of the little girl, but when he saw the miserable appearance of those people bitten by the lightning mink, he felt a little unbearable. Girls may have some willfulness, but if they ignore human lives, it would be really not good.

It’s the fault of his father. Zhao Ji looked at Duan Zhengchun and saw that he was just calm and silent. Forget it, let’s protect the little girl first. The ones who were hurt by their own injuries were not their own. Even if they all died, that would be Duan Zhengchun’s sin.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Ji stood up and bowed to Zhou and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. This woman is an old acquaintance of Xiao Wang, and there may be some misunderstandings."

When everyone on the field heard Zhao Ji's words, their expressions became exciting. They never thought that the prince of the Song Dynasty would recognize a female assassin. Zhao Ji's personal guards recognized Zhong Ling's appearance, but they didn't know what Zhao Ji told Zhong Ling in the hamlet that day. When they saw this woman appearing here, they just thought it was a deep love for the prince, and so a few hints of smiles appeared in their expressions.

Zhong Ling, who was struggling in the hall, suddenly heard a familiar voice, turned his head and looked up. After seeing Zhao Ji clearly, his eyes suddenly became wide open, and the original struggle was also stiff, because there was something in his mouth, and he only made a whimpering sound in his throat. But looking at her reaction, she should have known Zhao Ji without a doubt.

Although everyone was confused about the hidden situation, the assassin turned out to be an old acquaintance of the Song Dynasty, so it was not easy to treat it any more harshly. Duan Zhengchun waved his hand and said, "Let this girl go away first."

The soldier next to him hesitated and said, "Prince, this woman's ability to drive away beasts..."

"It's okay, let Xiao Wang say a few words to her first." Zhao Ji interjected, and walked down from the seat at the same time, stood in front of Zhong Ling, and sighed, "Miss Zhong Ling, we're seeing each other again."

While saying that, he took down the ball of things stuffed in Zhong Ling's mouth. After gasping for a few breaths, Zhong Ling stared at Zhao Ji and asked, "Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

After hearing this conversation, everyone finally confirmed that the two of them knew each other. Although they were a little unhappy, the soldiers from Dali Country still stepped forward to loosen their ties for Zhong Ling.

Since he took over the matter, he naturally could not fail to explain it. Zhao Ji repeatedly apologized to the injured soldiers of Dali. He just said sorry and took the account to Duan Zhengchun. Gao Shengtai did not want the matter to be revealed and said, "Prince Duan, I wonder if it is convenient to inform you of the details of this matter? This girl is your acquaintance, why did she hurt the generals in the mansion again?"

Zhao Ji was also worried about finding an explanation. After hearing Gao Shengtai asked, he had not yet come up with an explanation. Zhong Ling finally understood and pointed at Zhao Ji and said loudly: "So you are the Prince of Song they mentioned! It turns out that you are lying to me... No wonder I can't find you in the Song people's business group, it turns out you..."

Several guards were afraid that Zhong Ling would say something again, exposing the prince's behavior, so they quickly pulled Zhong Ling aside and prevented her from shouting. However, the few words that were quite confusing just now spread throughout the scene, and everyone also had their own guesses. Most of the time, the prince of the Song Dynasty provoked a woman and was now found. Duan Zhengchun, who had such experience, was more specific and understood that these things were difficult to get on the table. He immediately said to Gao Shengtai: "Brother Gao, since it is a misunderstanding, in my opinion, there is no need to investigate this matter further, so let's expose it."

Although Gao Shengtai was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to hold on and give the prince of the Song Dynasty in full view, and only bowed his head and said, "It's a pity that these injured soldiers and generals are all good men in the army..."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji also turned to Zhong Ling and said, "Whether you have an antidote on your body, it is important to treat people's injuries!" He didn't like Zhong Ling's casual injury, and his tone was inevitably more severe.

Zhong Lingshang was resentful of Zhao Ji's concealment of his identity. When he heard his tone of sternness, he immediately turned his head and said angrily: "You lied to me, but you still came to rape me... I don't, I don't..."

"Don't mess around, is there any antidote?" Seeing that Zhong Ling was still messing around, Zhao Ji lost his patience and shouted in a deep voice.

Hearing the scolding, Zhong Ling froze, and then covered her face and cried: "You said you were friends with me, but you lied to me... That day I went to find you to return something but couldn't find it. I was sad for a long time... It turned out that you were the envoy of the Song Dynasty... They chased me and chased me, and said something bad... I won't give it... I won't give it!" After all, she was just a little girl. Although she was a little courage and willful, she was still panicked in her heart after all. In addition, she found that her new friend deceived her, and she felt a sense of rebellion from her. When she cried, she could no longer hold her back.

Seeing the little girl crying, Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Duan Zhengchun was the most soft-hearted towards women. He felt a little embarrassed when he heard this sad sob. He left the seat and checked the injuries of the injured people, and used his mellow internal strength and a single yang finger to block the spread of the poison blood to prevent the injury from worsening. Then he turned to Zhao Ji and said, "Prince Duan doesn't have to be anxious. You can wait until tomorrow. Today's hospitality is not good, so you should be rude. Why not take a break early and continue your journey tomorrow?"

Of course, there was nothing to be polite with Duan Zhengchun. Zhao Ji nodded and responded. Seeing that the little girl was still crying, he felt it became more and more difficult, so he ordered someone to take her down to settle her first.

The banquet just dispersed. When Zhao Ji was about to go back to rest, he was called away by Cai Jing and asked in a low voice: "Prince, that woman..."

Zhao Ji understood what Cai Jing meant, so he replied, "I did meet once, but I didn't have a deep relationship. But I just had a bold little girl, so there was no need to delay our business because of her."

After hearing this, Cai Jing nodded and said, "The prince puts the overall situation first and does not hesitate to slander his reputation for national affairs. I will explain it to my colleagues later. But, what will the woman do next?"

When Zhao Ji heard Cai Jing's words, he exonerated himself, and also implicitly persuaded him. He immediately said, "Bachelor, please rest assured. I have no deep entanglement with this woman. I will find an opportunity to see him off on my way south in the next few days."

Seeing that Zhao Ji was indeed very sober and did not indulge in women and did not extricate himself, Cai Jing felt relieved. The concepts of the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty were very special. If they were to act in the Song Dynasty during the normal season, it would be just elegant. However, if Zhao Ji was passed on back, it would be a solid stigma. Since he was optimistic about Zhao Ji, he naturally did not want to see Zhao Ji being confused about such minor matters.

After dealing with Cai Jing, Zhao Ji turned around and walked towards the residence arranged by the Dali officials. But when he thought of facing the little girl Zhong Ling, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Why would he just send someone to her biological son?
