Luo Jingfeng reached out and wiped the blood on the little guy's neck, and comforted him in a deep voice: "He protected you with his life. Uncle will bury him and take good care of his family."

Zong Jincheng's ears were roaring.

The moment before, he didn't understand what life and death were, but the next moment, someone gave his life for him.

He was protected by someone with his life.

Luo Jingfeng said softly: "When I almost strangled you to death in the restaurant, I didn't really want to kill you. It was just that I noticed the existence of the secret guard at that time, and suspected that your identity was related to the prince, so I wanted to force the secret guard to show up. But the order he received should be: he will not show up until the last moment."

"Secret guard..." Zong Jincheng said in a trembling voice, "He is my secret guard... I don't know, I never knew he existed, he has been by my side for a long, long time..."

Xu Wan also came to his side, squatted down and whispered: "His name is Shadow, he used to be your father's secret guard, and he came to you three years ago."

The incident just now happened too quickly.

The masters fought, and it was over in a moment.

By the time Xu Wan ran over from the carriage, Luo Jingfeng had already announced Shadow's death.

"Shadow..." Zong Jincheng finally couldn't control himself, and tears fell wildly.

He didn't cry often, and he had never cried so painfully.

Xu Wan held him lightly, silently accompanying this child who was about to grow up.

"The Patrol City Division is here, no one is allowed to move."

Zong Zhao appeared with them, and when he looked up, he saw Shadow's body and the blood on Zong Jincheng's body.

His angry eyes were directly hit on Luo Jingfeng.

Only he could mobilize the Patrol City Division, so he couldn't come together. Luo Jingfeng swore to him that there was absolutely no problem, but this was called no problem?

The commander of the Patrol City Division sent people to check all the dead men who ambushed them, but they couldn't find any token features until they saw the dark guard commander who was suppressed by Bu Yan.

Others may not have seen this person, but he recognized him.

The commander of the patrol city frowned and reported truthfully: "General, this is someone close to the emperor."

Zong Zhao took the token of the patrol city. Even if they were dissatisfied with Zong Zhao before, they would obey Zong Zhao's orders now, but not only because of the token, but also because they knew that Zong Zhao's side was the prince.

Token plus the prince.

They will obey Zong Zhao's orders unconditionally.

Zong Zhao gave an order in a cold voice: "The commander of the secret guards is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. He secretly intercepted me and the Protector of the Country. Take him down and wait for his punishment."

"Yes."

The commander of the secret guards screamed madly: "Zong Zhao, you slandered me for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Who is the one who has the heart of rebellion? You and Luo Jingfeng colluded with each other and plotted against my Great Chu...ah!"

The commander of the secret guards had his tongue cut off.

Luo Jingfeng's subordinates did it.

"No one dares to disrespect the Protector of the Country." General Xiaofeng rushed to the front line fiercely and threw away the dagger in his hand with disgust.

This man is too cruel.

As expected, he is Luo Jingfeng's capable general.

But General Zong did not speak, and the commander of the patrol city did not dare to say much. He just took the dumb commander of the dark guards away: "I will take people to wait outside the alley first. The general will call us if there is something."

Zong Zhao replied: "Go."

Luo Jingfeng was in no mood to care about these things.

His heart and eyes were full of his nephew. If it weren't for Shadow's life to protect him, he would have almost lost Cheng'er.

When Luo Jingfeng thought of this possibility, he was going crazy.

He couldn't stand it, he couldn't stand it at all!

He said coldly: "Reorganize the troops! I want him to know what the fate of those who dare to touch me is!"

General Xiaofeng responded excitedly: "Yes! I will go now!"

The scene was a bit chaotic.

Because in the panic, Luo Jingfeng and Zong Jincheng's uncle and nephew were exposed, and all the Zong family guards present heard it.

But obviously, Luo Jingfeng didn't plan to hide.

What foster father and adopted son, what Luo family Zong family

He wants his Cheng'er to never be threatened again!

Zong Zhao reminded: "I will escort them back to the palace first."

Luo Jingfeng raised his eyes and realized that Zong Zhao had the same idea as him. He sneered: "You can't help it either?"

Zong Zhao said: "There is no need to endure it. The emperor already knows Jin Cheng's identity, so even if today's operation fails, he will not give Jin Cheng a good ranking in tomorrow's palace examination as we wish."

There is no need to wait any longer.

They originally aimed to let Jin Cheng get the first place in the imperial examination, so that he could succeed to the throne in the name of virtue. Now the plan was forced to be interrupted after the examination, but it was not worse than expected.

Jin Cheng, who ranked second in the examination, is still the smartest little prince.

Xu Wan has wiped the blood off Zong Jin Cheng's body.

But Jin Cheng's condition is not very good. He is still holding Shadow's hand and his body is shaking.

Zong Zhao whispered: "Get on the carriage, I will take you back to the palace."

Xu Wan also helped to support Zong Jin Cheng.

The young boy raised his head with red eyes and asked tearfully: "Dad, what did I do wrong? Why do they have to kill me? I just want to study hard, be an official, do good things for the people, and be a good child of you and mother. What did I do wrong?"

Xu Wan felt a pain in her heart.

She knew Jin Cheng did nothing wrong.

Even the dandy boy three years ago was just a little naughty, but he was not guilty of death.

What people feared about him was his identity, the blood flowing in his body, and the power behind him.

But this was exactly what he could not control.

Zong Zhao didn't know how to comfort him, so he just reached out and stroked his eyebrows, and promised earnestly: "From now on, no one can hurt you anymore."

Zong Jincheng's tears fell again.

He couldn't stop crying, so Zong Zhao carried the half-grown boy into the carriage and escorted Xu Wan and her son to the mansion.

The entire general's mansion was tightly surrounded.

Not only were there soldiers from the patrol city, but also guards from the Protectorate Mansion, who protected this place watertight.

The palace, the imperial study.

It was completely dark outside, and it looked like it would rain heavily soon, and the emperor was getting more and more anxious.

He waited for half a month but Zong Jincheng didn't come out.

It was not easy to send someone to trick him out today, and I don't know if I can kill that evil child.

If he is killed, then this crisis will be easily resolved.

Without this legitimate heir, the Luo family would be unjustified if they wanted to rebel. The criticism of changing dynasties would be hundreds of times louder than the fight for the throne. Even if the Luo family succeeded, they would not be able to maintain their rule.

What's more, he still had the patrol department in the hands of the prince.

The prince was in a coma, and the patrol department could not be mobilized. They would only obey the emperor. Although these tens of thousands of troops were no match for Luo Jingfeng's army, they were the strongest in the imperial city.

The emperor felt a little relieved thinking this way.

He kept praying in his heart: It must succeed, it must succeed...

"Bang——"

With a loud noise, the door of the imperial study was kicked open.
