Chapter 692: Second Savior
Chapter 692: Second Savior
At the critical moment, Gao Yuan also flew out and stood in front of Feng Ming.
It's too late.
King Rong's sword almost stabbed at them: "Don't move."
Gao Yuan's action could only stop halfway.
Feng Ming's body was swaying and he was unsteady on his feet. He didn't even have time to take a step back.
On the other side, Wu Feng, who was throwing hidden weapons, missed the target and leaped forward, then shot out two more hidden weapons in succession.
Han Bin and Wei Ning had already reacted. With two "clang" sounds, they blocked the attack with their steel knives and quickly pulled Yuan Qi into their camp.
"Liu E?" Feng Ming's eyes were still following Yuan Qi, but he heard Gao Yuan's exclamation. He was startled and looked at the figure lying on the ground.
Liu E was wearing a peasant woman's coarse blue flowered dress and had her hair tied up in a simple bun. She had been hit by a dart in her left shoulder and was lying on the ground, unable to get up.
With Gao Yuan's roar, he rose into the air like a roc spreading its wings and slashed at Wu Feng with a knife.
Wu Feng instinctively drew out the soft sword from his waist to block, but he didn't expect that Gao Yuan, who usually had a sickly physique and looked like he had tuberculosis, could still fight against him.
Gao Yuan's sword chopped down like chopping wood. Wu Feng's soft sword was split into two halves, and his head was also cut off in half like a melon, with brain matter mixed with blood flowing out.
Kill with one knife.
Wu Feng's body fell backwards.
"Wu Feng..." Prince Rong was shocked, but he did not forget to point the sword in his hand at Feng Ming.
At the same time, Wei Ning stepped forward to help Liu E up.
Gao Yuan saw that his prince was already under the control of Prince Rong and had no chance to rescue him, so he could only retreat with Wei Ning.
Although Liu'e was hit by the dart, she remained conscious. She covered her left shoulder with her right hand and whispered something.
Although Prince Rong was shocked, he did not look at Wu Feng's body again, but immediately regained his senses.
Although he had a sword in his hand, he didn't know martial arts after all, so he handed Feng Ming to his men to take care of him, and reminded them in a low voice: "Everyone stay alert, there may be ambushes around."
Prince Yi and his entourage were under his surveillance throughout their trip up the mountain.
It was no coincidence that Liu'e, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly appeared.
On the other side, Yuan Qi and Liu E hugged each other tightly.
Gao Yuan was so excited after getting his item back that he was speechless.
Moreover, with a powerful enemy at hand and Feng Ming still in the enemy's hands, he just handed Liu E over to the military doctor and focused on Feng Ming's safety.
Feng Ming confirmed that the two were fine, and his heart calmed down. His consciousness gradually weakened, and Zhou Chang took back control of his body.
Zhou Chang came back to his senses and taunted Wu Feng's corpse, "Shouldn't he be a well-trained spy? I thought he was just pretending to be weak and sick, but I didn't expect he really couldn't fight."
"Ninth brother, you should think more about yourself." Prince Rong retorted sarcastically. As the two of them got closer, he suddenly felt strange, "Why do you smell like blood?"
Zhou Chang was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and there was no sign of anything fishy about him. He smiled calmly and said, "It's irrelevant. Prince Rong planned to replace me here, just to get rid of me here."
"You knew it a long time ago?" Prince Rong no longer concealed anything at this point.
Zhou Chang was exhausted at this moment, so he put a hand on his waist and said, "Isn't this something that should be understood immediately? Prince Rong cherishes his reputation so much and has worked hard to build it up for so many years. Now that I know everything, how can I leave him alive?"
The two brothers are now facing each other. Zhou Chang's beautiful phoenix eyes are still curved, but Prince Rong has a gloomy face and no longer has the gentlemanly demeanor of the past.
Prince Rong had to re-examine his ninth brother, but the more he looked at him, the more unfamiliar he felt: "It turns out that I was so self-righteous that I never really saw through you."
"You and I are the same." Zhou Chang had already walked out completely, but Feng Ming felt heartbroken and restrained his smile.
Once upon a time, Feng Ming truly regarded Prince Rong as a good brother.
Zhou Chang was no different. Even during the hunting palace, he risked being exposed in order to hint to Prince Rong that he was worried that he would be harmed by Prince Duan or Prince Xian.
The results of it?
Why have things developed to this point today?
Until now, Feng Ming's subconscious mind was unwilling to think about it.
He didn't have many relatives in this world. His biological father, Emperor Lin, was just a king without any family affection. His only brothers were his eldest brother Feng Duo and the twelfth prince Feng Suo.
Now the eldest brother is no longer the emperor, so who else is left in this world except the underage Feng Suo?
Prince Rong said coldly: "Since you know everything, then there is no need for a smart person to say more nonsense. If you can successfully lead us away from here, perhaps I will consider sparing your life."
"You won't, so you don't have to pretend anymore." Zhou Chang smiled resolutely and raised his voice, "However, since I dare to exchange, I have naturally made all the preparations."
"What preparations?" Prince Rong was inevitably alert and looked around.
At present, there should be no other people on Fengming Shangwei Peak except for the two clearly separated groups of people, but Liu E's sudden appearance is an anomaly.
Looking at Zhou Chang's expression, he must have been surprised as well.
Zhou Chang looked pale, but he still maintained his confidence: "I have already investigated everything about Brother Rong, and I planned to expose everything after I finished fighting this battle and returned to Jindu. Therefore, if I die, the evidence will be immediately handed over to Your Majesty and made public. If I don't die, I can consider..."
"Stop struggling. Don't you think your words are inconsistent?" Prince Rong's long, narrow willow-shaped eyes narrowed into a slit. "At this point, do you think I will still believe you? You just guessed my identity, but where did you get the preparation and evidence in advance?"
Zhou Chang's smile did not diminish, and he looked even more like a fox: "I just lied to Brother Rong. Brother Rong is always easy to lie to, and I know that too."
Although I said that, my heart was beating like a drum.
In fact, the easiest person to deceive is Prince Yi. For so many years, this hypocrite didn't notice it at all.
Prince Rong just didn't intend to believe it at all: "No matter what you say now, I don't believe it."
Zhou Chang smiled, but his eyes were cold. "If you don't believe me, Prince Rong, why don't you take me back to Jindu and let the world judge me? Then you will know if I have any evidence that can expose your treason."
There was a cold light in Prince Rong's eyes, piercing Zhou Chang's heart: "You don't have to pretend to be innocent. We are the same."
"What do you mean by mutual?" Zhou Chang said with disgust. "I must have evidence, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come up the mountain alone. Brother Rong should know me well, right? As for whether you believe it or not, it depends on whether you dare to take a gamble."
"You really... did... when was it?" Prince Rong's pupils shrank, and he became suspicious again, "Are you trying to trick me? In the past, those little tricks you used might have fooled others, and I just didn't bother with you. But now... don't think you can fool me with just your mouth."
