Chapter 213: All Acquaintances
"Reading?"
The second prince's sudden words made Jiang Youzhen stunned, "Ah~"
"Are you planning to enter the government? As a child of a poor family, no matter how smart you are, if you think that your career will be smooth sailing, you are totally wrong."
The fate of a woman is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The second prince rarely showed kindness to remind her, but this girl seemed to be very ignorant.
Jiang Youzhen was puzzled, "I didn't say I wanted to pursue a career in politics!"
The second prince choked, then said unhappily: "Then why are you studying?"
"Can't it be for the sake of understanding things? Even if you want to do business, you have to be able to read!"
"Really?" Wasn't it because of Tong Huaian? The Second Prince took a sip of tea.
"How dare you! You want to arrest someone without any real evidence. What's your basis? Besides, you dared to attack a mere guard of the Zhou Mansion?"
Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice was heard from outside. Jiang Youzhen thought carefully and seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
Ah! A face suddenly appeared in Jiang Youzhen's mind. Could it be him? What a coincidence.
What's going on today? It's all about acquaintances.
"My dear, you are impersonating an official appointed by the court, and you are suspected of killing my young master. We are going to arrest you and send you to the authorities. When we meet the prefect, he will make the final decision. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude."
"Humph! What are you talking about? Take him away! Take him to the government office."
Zhou Hai came in quickly and leaned over to whisper in the second prince's ear. Jiang Youzhen pricked up his ears but heard nothing.
"Let's go! Since he's here, let's go meet him. We've already been exposed, so we might as well get straight to the point."
The second prince stood up and said this, then he turned and glanced at Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly, "Goodbye!"
"I'll owe you five thousand taels first. After all, we have helped you out. But the Zhou family will sooner or later suspect you. Do you think you can fight against the Zhou family by yourself? You better take care of yourself!"
The second prince turned around and left. He wanted to see what Jiang Youzhen was capable of. Was he acting on impulse or did he have a backup plan?
Jiang Youzhen curled his lips. Are you looking down on me?
She stood up and walked to the window to look out, and found that there was someone guarding it below. Having lost the initiative, she could not go to the window. Jiang Youzhen simply closed the window and followed the second prince in a swagger.
As soon as she came out of the room, she saw a man in an ice-blue brocade robe surrounded by several guards.
He looked at the guards with a vigilant look on his face. When one of the guards pushed him, he immediately glared at them and said coldly, "Don't push me. I can walk by myself."
It was him? The last time Jiang Youzhen came to the city to stay at the inn, the head of the police who searched in the middle of the night? She had a deep impression of this man. At that time, he kicked open her door and then sat on the doorstep with a split.
She didn't know whether it hurt or not, but the other person's face looked like it hurt.
The second prince sneered, and turned his eyes to see Jiang Youzhen, who followed him and looked down curiously. This girl is really brave, she actually dared to follow him out?
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and felt that he couldn't appear in front of that person. Last time, he suspected that he was harboring a fugitive, and now that he saw him, who knows what tricks he would do again.
He hid behind the Second Prince. Although this action was very small, it caught the Second Prince's attention.
"What? Do you know each other?" The second prince's cold voice sounded above her head.
"I don't know you! Aren't you afraid that the madam will recognize me? Just be a good person and take me out with you."
Jiang Youzhen would certainly not admit it, but the second prince raised his eyebrows and a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Yes! Then add another five hundred taels."
"Haha! Just add more. I will definitely give it to you when I have the money." Jiang Youzhen smiled at him and said, "You are dreaming."
The second prince had an imperceptible smile on his face, and Zhou Hai caught sight of this fleeting smile. Oh my! Isn't his master a cool guy? Is he dazzled?
When Jiang Youzhen hurried to the inn, Jiang Fugui and the others had not left yet.
"Didn't I tell you guys to leave in half an hour if I didn't come?" Jiang Youzhen calculated and realized that the time had passed. Fortunately, she returned to take a look, otherwise she would have missed it.
"How can we leave before you come back? Everything has been moved, let's hurry up!" Shen just urged and pulled Jiang Youzhen out of the room.
"Dad! Hang up the lanterns and leave the city quickly. There is a curfew tonight." Jiang Youzhen reminded and then got on the carriage.
Fortunately, we came with two carriages, otherwise one carriage would not be able to hold so many things.
The carriage quickly left the city, and after traveling on the official road for more than an hour, it came to a dense forest ahead.
Jiang Youzhen held the sword in his hand, then got out of the carriage and sat on the frame.
"Why did you come out? It's getting late and the dew is heavy. You'll catch a cold again." Jiang Fugui advised when he saw Jiang Youzhen coming out.
"There is a dense forest ahead. It's late at night. Who knows if there will be an ambush there? At least I have learned some Kung Fu and I have a long sword in my hand. I can guarantee your safety."
Jiang Fugui laughed, "With your mediocre kung fu, if there were robbers, you wouldn't even be able to hold off one punch from them."
It's not that he looked down on his daughter, but in his impression, those who were good at external martial arts were all big and strong men. As for his daughter with thin arms and legs, she was probably just a fancy move, who could she beat?
"Dad, you underestimated me, didn't you? Wait until one day I show you my skills, and you'll know. Otherwise, how did I hunt those two wolves last time? Do you really think I caught them with a trap? Wolves are not like those small animals. They are fast and strong. Ordinary traps can't catch them."
"Since it's so dangerous, don't go to the mountains next time. Our family doesn't need that little money now, why do you have to take risks again?" Jiang Fugui was very worried. What a strong character! I don't know who he looks like.
"Without actual combat, it would just be fancy moves." Jiang Youzhen smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the bushes. Jiang Youzhen immediately became alert and drew out his sword.
The silver sword flashed with cold light, and Jiang Fugui immediately became nervous. He asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that what you fear will come true? Are there really robbers? It's not that there are no carriages passing by this road at night. After all, it is an official road, and sometimes there will be caravans traveling at night.
San Ya and the others had already fallen asleep. Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything, but just stared vigilantly at the bushes on the right.
Jiang Fugui's heart was about to jump out of his chest. Zhao Wei, who was driving the carriage behind him, did not notice anything unusual.
"Dad, slow down!" Jiang Youzhen said softly.
If they were really robbers, they would have set up roadblocks or dug traps on the road.
