Chapter 219 Not Allowed to Enter
Chapter 219 Not Allowed to Enter
When Jun Jiuchen returned to the cave, Yun Zheng and his group were blocked outside the cave by people from the Five Elements Department.
There were about thirty people, but they all looked a little embarrassed.
One of them was arguing with Huo Du.
"General Huo, this miasma forest is not the territory of your Five Elements Division. Why don't you let us in?"
"Why don't you let us see Prime Minister Song?"
Huodu, however, sat at the entrance of the cave, holding a big knife, looking like a lone man blocking the way for ten thousand.
"We rescued the people and found the place."
"Why do you say that?"
The man was obviously a little anxious and took another step forward.
"Just because our prince is the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion! He is the prince of Prince Huai's Mansion. After all, the general is a colleague of our prince. Now, with this behavior, is he trying to become an enemy of our Prince Huai's Mansion?"
They have been in this hellhole for almost two days.
The ubiquitous miasma seemed to slow people down and make them confused, so after only one day, they gradually became tired of dealing with the wild beasts that appeared from time to time, and lost all their food on the first night.
After that, he was chased so hard that he could only hide everywhere.
It's not that they haven't thought about retreating, but the terrain of this damn place is extremely complicated, and they can't find the way they came.
Now that I have finally found a place to stay, and I heard that they have found Prime Minister Song, how can I give up easily?
If they could reunite with them, perhaps they would be able to leave this place safely.
I can also find an opportunity to complete King Huai's instructions...
But Huo Du obviously didn't care at all about what this person said.
"I don't care if your palace is good or bad. We have a rule when we march and fight. When there's no one there, the first one to arrive becomes king!"
"So now this place is the territory of our Black Armor Guards. I said you can't enter, and you can't enter!"
"If you're not convinced, why not come over and compete?"
As Huo Du spoke, he slammed the big knife in his hand, which was taller than a man, heavily to the ground, making a dull sound.
The guards at Prince Huai's mansion turned pale in the face.
General Huo was incredibly strong and skilled in martial arts. They naturally knew they were no match for him, not to mention their current state...
I could only stiffen my neck and say.
"General Huo is so unreasonable. Aren't you afraid that my prince will report you when you return to the capital?"
"Or do you think that with the Prince Regent as your backer and military achievements under your belt, you can be arrogant and no one can touch you?"
Huodu just snorted coldly when he heard this, and wanted to speak again, telling them to go and report if they had the ability. He, Huodu, was really not afraid. At worst, he would go back to his Mobei and not suffer this in Shangjing!
However, Jun Jiuchen, who had already arrived, interrupted him.
"You have to be alive to participate."
"But I asked General Huo to guard this cave. If Prince Huai wants to report it, they can report it to me!"
The man who had originally argued with Huo Du couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Jun Jiuchen suddenly appear. It seemed that he didn't expect him to appear here. He looked at Yun Zheng hesitantly.
Although Yun Zheng did not look as embarrassed as the soldiers of Prince Huai's Palace beside him, except for some mud on the corners of his clothes, his white brocade robe was still smooth and conspicuous, but his face still showed a trace of fatigue.
When he saw Jun Jiuchen appear, he was obviously a little surprised.
He could understand why the Black Armor Guards would come looking for Song Yi. After all, Song Yi was now working for Jun Jiuchen. But according to the date, the envoys from Mobei and the Crown Prince of Mobei had already arrived in Beijing. As the regent, he should help His Majesty deal with it. Why would he come here in person?
Could it be...
Is he still thinking about Wan'er? That's why he thinks so highly of Song Yi.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng perked up a bit and looked at Jun Jiuchen.
"I didn't expect to see the Regent here at this time. It seems that the Regent is really "extraordinarily attentive" to the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Your Highness, by appearing here now, aren't you afraid that the people from Mobei will come to the capital and bully your majesty because he is young, causing some kind of chaos?"
If that were the case, my father would be able to find his faults and criticize him as the regent.
He didn't believe that he couldn't see such a simple matter of priority.
Jun Jiuchen listened to Yun Zheng's words, but just walked slowly to Huo Du's side, and took advantage of the terrain to look down at Yun Zheng.
"As for the king's condition...it is not your business to worry about it."
"Besides, isn't King Huai worried about not having the opportunity to show his abilities? If the people of Mobei take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble, wouldn't that be exactly what King Huai wants?"
When Yun Zheng heard him talk about his father, he looked back at him coldly.
"Prince Regent, there's no need to be so sarcastic. My Huaiwang Mansion has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. If the people of Mobei really want to cause trouble, my Huaiwang Mansion will naturally take the lead."
"Furthermore, compared to the Prince Regent, who, for his own selfish reasons, disregarded His Majesty and left the capital without authorization to search for someone, my father at least clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. He wouldn't act as the Prince does, without distinguishing between the important and the unimportant!"
When Jun Jiuchen heard this, he felt as if he had heard a huge joke.
"Since the Crown Prince can speak so righteously of the words 'loyalty to the emperor and patriotism', what else can I say?"
"And speaking of the distinction between public and private, the Crown Prince's courage to kill his wife for the sake of justice is not something everyone can possess."
Then he turned around and walked slowly into the cave, speaking slowly.
"This miasma forest is dangerous. We are busy with our own affairs, so we won't entertain the prince!"
"Huodu, watch the cave entrance! Don't let anyone in!"
Jun Jiuchen paused as he spoke, as if he remembered something, and turned to Yun Zheng.
"By the way, I'd like to remind you, Prince, that there's a fire in our cave, and it's much more lively at night than other places. If you refuse to leave, you'll have to be extra careful..."
"Also, we've set some traps at the entrance to prevent animals. If the prince accidentally rushes in with his men and they fall into the trap and die, our Five Elements Department will not be responsible..."
After he finished speaking, Jun Jiuchen walked in without hesitation.
Huo Du immediately responded in a voice as loud as a bell.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
