Chapter 403
Just as King Jing was about to rush out the door, Wang Yuetong held him back with some anxiety.

"We can't help you if we go out right now, why don't we wait and see, I don't think Yuwen Changyi will send troops so easily."

King Jing heard it and felt that what she said was reasonable, so he stopped and returned to the secret path.

I don't know how long they stayed in the secret passage, until the noise outside stopped, and the two came out again.

Walking to the long alley outside, there are dead bodies on both sides that have not yet been disposed of in the future, and the clothes they are wearing are actually guards of the Sheriff's Mansion.

"These are all people from the Sheriff's Mansion. It seems that the person who came today is not Yuwen Changyi, but Lord Sheriff..."

Wang Yuetong suddenly had a bold guess in her heart, she walked quickly to the king's bedroom, only to see the king was lying on the bed safe and sound, and beside the bed lay the body of an attendant.

The dead attendant was the one who took the medicine for the king that day.

"You came at the right time, neither early nor late."

Seeing that the two of them had just come out of the secret passage now, the king admired the two's ability to adapt to changes.

The lord's attitude made Wang Yuetong more certain of what he thought in his heart.

"Dare to ask the lord, the person who launched the rebellion this time is the county governor?"

"Yes, but not. It should be said that this is a bureau set up by Yuwen Changyi, a bureau to test the truth. By the way, we should also eliminate the useless people around us."

The county sheriff was originally a rogue-like character, one day he was lucky, he was appreciated by Yuwen Changyi, and he did a few things for him, so he was lifted all the way to the position of the county sheriff.

But in fact, he is just a pawn of Yuwen Changyi. Once he finds that he is of no great use, he will be disposed of like today.

"In this way, Yuwen Changyi made an agreement with him earlier to send troops one after the other to attack. As a result, the people from the county guard's mansion dispatched, but Yuwen Changyi's people did not move for a long time."

"So, the people who appeared in the palace today are all from the Sheriff's Mansion."

Hearing this, the lord of the country is very fond of Wang Yuetong.

"My niece is right. Yuwen Changyi is using this to test whether the two of you are dead. If you had come out earlier, I am afraid that Yuwen Changyi's people would have found out and secretly tipped him off. "

"Yuwen Changyi, this old fox...is really planning a strategy, and he will never show any more of his tail!"

Speaking of Yuwen Changyi, the king couldn't help gritting his teeth in resentment, hating him to the bone.

"It seems that the prince and I still have to hide for a few days. After this trial, Yuwen Changyi should also let go of his guard. I guess he can't wait to make a move."

Although this Yuwen Changyi is cautious and clever, but because of this, he is more likely to be mistaken by cleverness.

"By the way, the lord, can Yuetong ask you for someone?"

"Who does my niece want to ask?"

The king finished drinking the soup, put the soup bowl aside, and looked at her intently.

"I want to ask, is Qingwu girl from the Sheriff's Mansion back now?"

"Qing Wu...she has already died in the Sheriff's Mansion!"

Speaking of Qing Wu's death, the king was also deeply saddened.

She was originally the same as Haifeng, the imperial guard next to the king. Although she was a woman, she did not give way to men.

This time, she lurked to the Sheriff's Mansion to inquire about news, and it was she who invited Ying to go there on her own initiative.

At this moment, Gale came in quietly.

"My lord, all the remnants of the county guard's mansion have been taken down, and that thief Liu Zuguang has also been killed on the spot."

His eye sockets were slightly red, and every word he uttered was full of forbearance.

"Okay... Gaifeng, Qingwu will be handed over to you. Bury her properly. After taking down Yuwen Changyi's head, I will give Qingwu a dignified burial as a princess!"

Seeing the subordinates who have followed him for many years, suffering the pain of parting from life and death, the ruler of the country is very heartbroken.

At the same time, I feel very guilty.

"Subordinate, thank you Lord."

Haifeng lowered his head and never raised his head.

Looking at his dejected figure, Wang Yuetong unconsciously felt a pain in his heart.

She couldn't tell how she was feeling at the moment, but she only knew that she silently felt heartbroken for this strange pair of men and women.

Back in the secret room where she had been sheltered from the limelight for the past few days, Wang Yuetong remained silent all the way, as if she hadn't recovered from Qing Wu's death.

"It's just fortunate that you are thoughtful, otherwise, you will be in big trouble."

Back to their original hiding place, Wang Yuetong sat down silently.

King Jing praised her vigilance in critical moments, and also wanted to ease the atmosphere.

"How long are we going to stay here, until Yuwen Changyi breaks into the palace?"

After a while, Wang Yuetong suddenly asked.

She was also helping herself to divert her attention from thinking about what happened just now.

"I'm afraid that's the case. If it's uncomfortable to live somewhere, I'll find a way..."

"It's okay, I'm not such a delicate person, the arrangement here is very good."

Because I don't know how long I will stay here, therefore, it is very thoughtful for the king to order people to arrange this place according to the appearance of the sleeping hall.

"Are you still thinking about Qingwu?"

Seeing her gloomy expression, King Jing couldn't help asking.

"Qing Wu always died to help us. At this moment, I really can't let go..."

Wang Yuetong lowered her head, deeply depressed.

If he could have told Qing Wu more at that time, or freed up his hand to help her, maybe the ending would not be what it is now.

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but don't hurt yourself. We will settle this account with Yuwen Changyi sooner or later."

"Actually, after seeing Hai Feng become so sad for Qing Wu's death, my heart is not untouched."

After thinking for a while, King Jing finally said in a deep voice.

"They are obviously in love with each other, but they have to perform their own duties, and live a life of fear. In the end, it is embarrassing that there are lovers but they can't get married in the end."

"When I saw such a scene in the past, I would only feel puzzled. Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky, and people are like this. Why should I cling to the passing things so hard? But now, I seem to understand the meaning of this. reason."

King Jing sat beside her quietly, speaking in a tone like a slowly flowing brook.

"Since I was seven years old, my heart has been filled with family, country, and the world, and I have never had an affair. It has been even more so since the death of my father. It was not until you appeared that I knew that there was someone I could care about , is an easy task.”

"Now that I see people like Qingwu and Haifeng, I feel compassion. I think it's because others think of me."
