Chapter 008: Pretending to be Crazy and Foolish
Hearing the black horse beneath him neigh long and loud, those who had already knelt on the ground began to shout fervently
Now she cannot even pretend to be dead. Tilting her head, she twisted the corner of her mouth, looking at Zhao Zun with a bewildered expression, then glancing at the Fan family who accused her, foolishly wrinkling her nose and shaking her head, saying in a daze
"Fan, two fools conspired to harm you, do you think this king is also a fool?"
No wonder, it feels so familiar
Get up
Did the red shorts recognize her
The armor clinks, and the smoke of battle rushes towards me
Why aren't you speaking? Is it because of you?
No! It was I who did it. I hate her. She hit me, so I will hit her...
Fool, why are you running away
Feeling a warmth in her heart, she took his hand
Xia Chuqii secretly sighed
Fan's reasons and consequences are clearly articulated, and they evoke sympathy from all quarters, yet Xia Chuqii is somewhat taken aback. Why did she not mention the fact that there is a "tattoo of punishment" on her forehead?
Having spent some time in Liunian Village, she has not completely adapted to ancient life, but she has managed to adjust quite well. However, as a modern person, she still has some psychological barriers when it comes to kneeling
Many people are gasping; although they understand, they do not comprehend why Prince Jin is doing this
The fool lowered his head and spoke pitifully, "She is so fierce, in our village, she is the fiercest! She is a great villain. She wants to strangle my Caocao, and Caocao is my wife, I must protect her"
Cold, icy cold, relying on intuition, she guessed he must be watching her
Did he notice that the little golden tiger is missing
Prince Jin was surrounded by soldiers, not riding in a carriage, but sitting firmly on horseback. Beneath the golden-winged helmet, his facial features were sharp and fierce. Outside the black and gold armor, a large cloak woven with golden threads billowed in the wind, showcasing a majestic masculinity
With a sense of hope against hope, she bowed her head in silent prayer, only to suddenly hear a mournful voice whispering in her ear
A wild aura of murderous intent within a majestic grandeur
What she said
I am Chang'e, the most beautiful Chang'e, the exceptionally beautiful Chang'e
Zhao Zun's voice was cooler, and he looked at the fool with an inscrutable expression
In the early summer, Qi closed her eyes tightly, feeling a pang of sorrow for the fool's intelligence. Unexpectedly, the Prince of Jin shifted his tone and coldly remarked, "Are you admitting it was you who did it simply because you fear her?"
Ah? The fool is stunned; he does not understand
She felt a slight chill in her heart
He stood quietly, like a king of the forest on the hunt
Xia Chuqii looked over with a heart full of doubt, yet his gaze did not rest upon her. Meanwhile, her foolish teammate, Lan, once again lowered his head and shook it in denial
The sharp voice brought back the soul of Xia Chuqii.
The fool lowered his head, no longer as afraid of him as he was earlier, mumbling softly.
Bang!
Xia Chuqii was greatly astonished upon hearing this
It was then that she realized she stood out from the crowd, becoming an exception among the masses. Meanwhile, the Prince of Jin, tall and proud like a warhorse, stood amidst the throng, his sharp gaze sweeping over, piercing her heart like a knife cutting through the wind, sending a chill through her.
Xia Chuqii naturally did not run
Fan stomped her foot, no longer crying out, and disregarded her father's instructions not to reveal that there were imperial fugitives hidden in Qinggang County, lest he suffer repercussions. Everything would be dealt with after King Jin had left.
The entire city's populace bows their heads, no longer daring to lift them up
Your Highness, I, a humble woman of the people, have grievances! Please, Your Highness, stand up for me...
The ear rang for a moment, and Xia Chuqii was instantly stunned by his voice, her soul seemingly leaving her body
With her head bowed, she no longer looked at the cold and stern man on the warhorse. Considering her own safety, her legs gave way and she knelt down, burying her head. Intentionally trembling and suppressing her voice, she truly acted as if she were a fool
Before she could speak, the fool trembled and pulled her down to bow.
His Royal Highness, the Prince of Jin, has passed through the post station... ... Silence... ... Silence... ... !
This, this, this...
The banks of the Qingling River, swaying with white reeds, are crisscrossed with bloody wounds, mingled with the masculine scent of traditional Chinese medicine, and the red trousers that are in stark contrast to his master's temperament. The man's cold eyes, the blood-drinking sword, ... the dampness of his mouth and chest ...
Ah ... ...
Do we need to be flexible once again
It is truly magnificent
He remained motionless, while those kneeling on the ground could not fathom the thoughts of this master, and could only kneel quietly one by one, experiencing the chilling aura of the so-called "Cold-faced Yama" with their hair standing on end, as if they had taken a journey through a hell on earth
In the howling north wind, a regiment of neatly arranged Golden Guards formed a formation resembling dragons and snakes, marching steadily in the light breaking through the fog, their finely crafted bronze and iron armor seemingly emanating a faint cold gleam. ... Archers, cavalry, spearmen, and gunmen ... . ... The sheer number felt as if it extended to the horizon. Among the imposing Golden Guards, a general's flag inscribed with the character "晋" fluttered majestically, seemingly stained with the color of blood.
Is he inducing the fool to change his testimony
You have not done it, is that correct or not?
Killing intent
It's all over
All around, there was a profound silence
"Lift your head." A familiar cold voice came from above.
"Still playing dumb?" Fan gritted his teeth, stood up, and pointed at the fool, "Lan Da fool, you tell me, was it you two who colluded to commit this disgraceful act?"
No, it has nothing to do with me, it is I, it is I who did it
Little brat
Fool, do not be afraid. We are standing far away, and they do not eat people
Fan family
The dense and noisy crowd fell silent, everyone holding their breath, their gazes fixed in unison on a single point. Following the foolish gaze of the simpleton, Xia Chuqii suddenly realized that he was afraid of the army of Prince Jin.
So it was that wretched person
She patted his arm in comfort, no longer paying attention to the fool's expression, as her gaze was drawn to the spectacle of the ancient prince leading his troops.
Isn't it easier to convict her than those trivial matters?
The wind blew, slicing across the face like a blade
"Bold young lady! Why do you not kneel?"
Your Highness! This despicable little harlot is a court criminal, and the common woman has evidence.
I know, I am guilty. Your Highness, it has nothing to do with me.
Some are chuckling, some are sighing, and some are shaking their heads
In early summer, Qiqi furrowed her brows, still unclear about the source of his fear, when a constable from the county office came over, striking the wooden clapper heavily.
Zhao Zun, however, showed no expression, his deep and melodious voice carrying a hint of indistinguishable emotion and hoarseness, "What a pity! What else could this be if not foolishness?"
Indeed, it is not the god-like opponents that one fears, but rather the pig-like teammates. If she had not always known that the fool was incapable of handling even a cow's cud, she truly could not continue to partner with him in life.
The red hairpin was right above, and at that moment, the shrew pointed her out. Would she still have a way out if she was recognized? Xia Chuqii did not raise her head, pretending to be more foolish than anyone else. However, Fan was already kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes, pointing at her and stammering that she would be exposed.
Buzz
Zhao Zun stood tall on his horse, gazing at her, remaining motionless for a long while
Wow
Not only she, but everyone present was taken aback by such a result. The favoritism of Prince Jin was exceedingly apparent, so much so that even a fool stared at him in a daze, his eyes not even blinking.
After a long while, Zhao Zun finally turned his gaze towards the fool with a calm voice
A body full of murderous intent
The cool breeze by the post road howled, while His Highness, the Prince of Jin, wore a cold and icy expression. Everyone here had heard the legendary tales of the Nineteenth Master, known for his iron-blooded ruthlessness and penchant for slaughter. In their hearts, they all pondered that this foolish couple was likely to come to a bad end.
Your Highness, please spare me, spare my life, this is my wife. She is not very bright
The fool trembled with fear, yet still shivered as he stood in front of Xia Chuqii
The fool shrank his neck, stealing a glance at Xia Chuqii. He dared not admit it, yet he would not lie, his simple face flushed bright red.
Long live His Royal Highness the Prince! Long live! Long live! Long live!
The fool's reaction was excessively intense, his hand gripping the shoulder pole trembled, his back was stiff, and his face was filled with fear; this was a sight she had never witnessed before. Yet, even so, he was still doing everything in his power to protect her
The grass... is running... there are bad people...
The woman from the Liu Nian Village, Mrs. Fan, was deeply in love with my husband. However, this shameless woman, after several failed attempts to seduce my husband, actually incited her man, the foolish Lan Da, to knock me unconscious... She sincerely intended to tarnish my reputation, hoping that my husband would divorce me...
When the illness strikes, she pays no heed to anything else
Lydon, he emphasized his tone without any expression on his face
A voice so calm that it seemed devoid of emotion broke the silence of the post road
I ... ... I ... ...
In the early summer, Xia Chuqii could not clearly see the features of the prince's face, yet she could distinctly sense a familiar smell of gunpowder. She knew that it was a kind of murderous aura that could only be honed through countless battlefields and the baptism of blood
I am Chang'e, I am the most beautiful Chang'e, exceptionally beautiful
Zhao Zun tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Why must this be done?"
The fool's so "thoughtful" explanation made Xia Chuqii's heart ache painfully.
Do you know your crime
Xia Chuqii did not raise her head, yet she could feel the cold light above her head
