Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore
Chapter 167 Praying Mantis Stalking Cicada and Oriole Behind
The booming sound of the boulder falling to the ground spread out of the valley, which caught Bian Ziming's attention.
He was worried about King Zhao's safety, so he immediately asked the prince for orders, and wanted to lead troops to rescue King Zhao.
However, his request was rejected by the prince.
Li Cheng said slowly.
"The situation in the valley is unknown.
If you rashly lead people in, not only will you not be able to save them, but you may also get yourself in.
I can't ignore your lives just to save King Zhao.
Let's wait and see. "
Bian Ziming was anxious: "What if King Zhao is in danger?"
Li Cheng smiled and said indifferently.
"Gu believes that with King Zhao's skill, even if he encounters any danger, he will surely turn it into a breeze.
And he's notoriously tough.
Back then, Ghost Wind Castle was besieged by the enemy, and Da Zhou's 100,000 troops were gone.
Only he survived.
Now this small battle is nothing to him at all. "
Bian Ziming was speechless.
At this moment, he had already seen that the prince didn't want to save people at all.
During this trip to the south for disaster relief, there were constant conflicts between the prince and King Zhao, and the relationship became worse and worse.
Seeing King Zhao's misfortune now, the prince just wanted to stand on the sidelines. If King Zhao died, he would have one less rival.
Li Cheng glanced at Bian Ziming, with a threatening tone in his tone.
"You just need to do your part well, and you don't need to intervene in other things.
In the future, even if the royal father asks questions, there will be only one person to bear the burden. "
When Bian Ziming heard this, he knew that the prince was determined to let King Zhao die here.
There can only be one choice between King Zhao and the prince, who should he choose?
If it was the past, Bian Ziming would definitely choose to listen to the prince.
After all, the prince is the future emperor.
But the crown prince is already inhumane, and he doesn't know how long he can keep his position as crown prince.
Bian Ziming thought about it for a moment, and he had some calculations in his heart.
Lin Qingzhi listened to the conversation between the two of them.
After Bian Ziming left, Lin Qingzhi cautiously reminded him.
"Your Highness, King Zhao is very popular with the sage. If he dies here, the sage will definitely suspect you."
Li Cheng smiled coldly: "So what?
Anyway, Gu is now a useless person, and I don't know how many days he can keep the crown prince.
Before that, Gu would have to let King Zhao and Hua Ruren die! "
He knew that he would definitely pass through this valley when he returned to Beijing this time, so he bought a group of rogues and asked them to disguise themselves as bandits and set up an ambush in the valley.
As long as King Zhao enters the valley, the bandits will kill him.
Lin Qingzhi: "I have asked the imperial physician to keep it a secret, so no one will know about your injury."
Li Cheng sneered.
"Do you think the imperial physician will really keep secrets for the lonely?
If nothing else, just talk about Zhao Wang and Bian Ziming, they must have known the inhumane things.
Maybe they told other people in private.
Paper can't hold fire, this matter will be found out sooner or later. "
Lin Qingzhi looked at him blankly.
"Your Highness, have you given up?"
Li Cheng looked towards the valley ahead, and was silent for a long time before replying.
"Is there any other choice for Gu?"
Lin Qingzhi felt a chill in her heart.
She was very lucky before that she chose the prince.
She thought that with the memory of her previous life, she could help the prince reverse the situation, and use his momentum to skyrocket and become the envy of countless people.
But he didn't expect the prince to have such an accident.
This is completely different from the information she knew in her previous life.
She even had some doubts, was the world she was in now the same as the world before her rebirth?
...
After the boulder fell, the way forward in the valley was blocked.
King Zhao and his party could only retreat.
The group of rogues had expected that they would retreat, and soon another boulder rolled down, blocking their way of retreat.
As a result, they were trapped in the valley, in a dilemma.
At this time, the people above only need to throw some boulders into the valley, and they will be buried by the stones.
However, they waited for a long time, but instead of waiting for the boulder, they waited for three long ropes.
Hua Manman looked up along the rope and found several human heads popping up above the valley.
And they are all familiar faces.
One of them was Chen Wangbei whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Chen Wangbei lay on the edge of the cliff, waved at them, and pointed to the rope next to him, signaling them to climb up along the rope.
Hua Manman is in a bit of trouble.
She has not yet mastered the skill of rock climbing.
She could only look at King Zhao with pleading eyes.
Li Ji bent down and let her lie on his back.
He grabbed the rope and climbed up with Hua Manman on his back.
Everyone else followed suit.
They successfully climbed to the top of the cliff and found that it was a forest.
The rogues who were ambushing here had already been dealt with by Chen Wangbei's men, and the bodies of some rogues were lying here and there on the ground.
Li Ji asked: "Is there no survivor?"
Chen Wangbei answered truthfully.
"Leave three alive."
He pointed to the three rogues who were tied up not far away.
Li Ji nodded with satisfaction: "You have done a good job, and you will be rewarded a lot when you go back."
Chen Wangbei said modestly: "It's the lord who predicts things like a god, and the subordinates are just following orders."
Hua Manman was really curious, so he took the opportunity to interject and ask.
"When did the prince get in touch with Chen Shiwei? And how did you know there would be an ambush here?"
Li Ji explained to her roughly what happened.
It turned out that Li Ji had expected that there might be accidents on the way south, so he made an appointment with Chen Wangbei in advance.
If they encounter an accident and get separated on the way, they will find a way to send a letter to the post station in Chongma County.
After Li Ji arrived in Fu'an County, he spent money to hire local traveling merchants to help deliver the letter to the post station in Chongma County.
Chen Wangbei always remembered King Zhao's instructions.
After he failed to find King Zhao's whereabouts along the river, he took a detour to Chongma County with his people.
Chen Wangbei received a letter from King Zhao's entrusted person at the post station, and learned that King Zhao was not only fine, but also went to Fu'an County.
But King Zhao said in the letter that there might be changes on the prince's side, so in order to avoid accidents, Li Ji asked Chen Wangbei not to show up for the time being.
So Chen Wangbei could only quietly follow behind the disaster relief team with his people.
Hua Manman recalled that during the time in Fu'an County, she often saw King Zhao secretly correspond with others, presumably the person who communicated with him was Chen Wangbei.
Facts have proved that King Zhao's prediction was not wrong.
The prince really wanted to attack him.
Chen Wangbei secretly found out about this matter and informed King Zhao about it.
King Zhao came and made a plan.
The group of rogues thought that this ambush would be successful, but they didn't expect that they had already been targeted.
The praying mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole followed, and these vicious bandits finally became food for the oriole.
