Chapter 495 Unlucky Cai Shu
Tonight is destined to be an eventful night for Prince Jing.
In addition to assassins coming to the door, ninety percent of the officials and servants accompanying the Liangzhou birthday celebration delegation also came to the door.
However, unlike the assassins who came to assassinate Prince Jing, the officials accompanying the birthday celebration delegation came to urgently rescue Prince Jing.
"Your Highness, it's so good to hear that you're safe and sound!"
Cai Shu looked at Prince Jing in front of him with great excitement.
God knows how devastated he was when he heard from the scouts that Prince Jing had been attacked ahead.
I thought coming to the capital and encountering the kidnapping of Marquis Zhaoping by bandits was bad enough.
Who knew that there was no limit to bad luck, only worse luck could come.
The prince was attacked.
save? Still not saving?
How can we save them?
Who would dare to assassinate a prince? No ordinary person could do that.
Using the officials accompanying the prince to rescue him is like throwing an egg against a rock.
not help?
That's a prince! The Emperor's own son!
If you don't know, that's fine, but if you do know and don't go to the rescue, and it gets exposed later, your whole family will be in deep trouble.
After weighing the pros and cons, Cai Shu had no choice but to grit his teeth, gather his men, and bravely come to the rescue of Prince Jing.
Cai Shu had prepared himself for the possibility of not being able to return, but when he arrived with his men, he found that the fighting had already ended.
Aside from a few barely noticeable scratches on his face, Prince Jing was unharmed.
It's no exaggeration to say that Cai Shu was so overjoyed that he almost cried in front of Prince Jing.
Although Cai Shu did not cry, the excited and relieved expression on his face was enough to please Prince Jing.
"Lord Cai's loyalty is commendable. I will certainly speak to my father when I return to the capital."
"Your Highness is too kind. What I did was simply my duty!"
If Cai Shu was excited before because he saw that Prince Jing was safe and sound, then Cai Shu is excited now because of what Prince Jing said.
Besides leading the birthday celebration delegation to the capital, the name "Cai Shu" will once again appear before the emperor.
This rescue was a huge success!
Cai Shu's excited and grateful gaze made Prince Jing smile at him.
He likes how others see him.
It's as if he can control everything about others.
Prince Jing smiled and spoke in a rare gentle tone: "Lord Cai, you've had a long journey and must be tired. Go and rest. As for the birthday congratulatory delegation, I will have someone bring them here. Originally, I left the capital this time on behalf of my father, the Emperor, to welcome the birthday congratulatory delegation."
Representing His Majesty to welcome... the birthday celebration delegation?!
Cai Shu knew that the birthday celebration delegation was of extraordinary significance and that the capital would attach great importance to it, but he did not expect that the emperor would attach such importance to it that he would send Prince Jing out of the city to welcome them personally.
With a thud, Cai Shu knelt down facing the direction of the capital, then kowtowed deeply, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
After kowtowing to the emperor, Cai Shu turned to Prince Jing and kowtowed again, saying, "Long live the prince!"
"Hahaha!" Prince Jing was overjoyed. At this moment, he finally felt a sense of pride from this mission: "Get up and go rest."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Cai Shu stood up and stepped back. Just as he was about to turn and leave the tent, he seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Prince Jing, and said in a relaxed tone:
"By the way, Your Highness, which tent is Marquis Zhaoping in? I would like to go and see him first."
Speaking of which, Marquis Zhaoping was originally kidnapped by bandits. Unexpectedly, Marquis Zhaoping ended up with the Prince. Could it be that the Prince happened to rescue Marquis Zhaoping? That would be wonderful.
The scouts went back to report on the situation and also told us that after Marquis Zhaoping arrived with the Prince, the people in the birthday celebration group were scrambling to rescue the Prince and Marquis Zhaoping.
However, considering that none of them are skilled in martial arts, I have ordered them to remain where they are.
The smile in Prince Jing's eyes gradually faded, and the corners of his mouth slowly straightened out.
Dan Qing, who had been guarding Prince Jing's side, had already quietly tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Prince Jing remained silent for a long time, Cai Shu couldn't help but try to probe, his eyes filled with obvious confusion.
“Heh~” Prince Jing chuckled softly and finally spoke. He stared at Cai Shu’s head, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a low voice, “Marquis Zhaoping is seriously injured and is resting. It is not convenient to disturb him. Lord Cai can visit him after dawn.”
"Yes, Your Excellency obeys."
"and many more."
Cai Shugang lowered his foot back down, his heart pounding in his throat.
"Is there a doctor in the birthday celebration delegation?"
Ok?
Cai Shu realized what was happening and quickly replied, "Your Highness, there is indeed a doctor accompanying the birthday celebration delegation, and his medical skills are exceptional. The people in the delegation have been able to travel in good health thanks to this doctor."
Prince Jing nodded: "My personal physician was unfortunately killed by an assassin. Lord Cai, go and bring the doctor here. Many of my men were injured while fighting off the assassin."
Cai Shu immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness is too kind!"
Leaving behind his men to help tidy up the camp, Cai Shu, carrying the Jing King's order, led a few of his men out of the Jing King's camp's controlled area.
As soon as he left the controlled area, Cai Shu's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"grown ups!"
The two constables who managed to catch Cai Shu were startled.
"Shhh!!!"
Cai Shu quickly made a hushed gesture and nervously looked around.
Once he was sure no one was around, Cai Shu finally relaxed and took a few deep breaths.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
what happened?
Cai Shu wore a bitter face, about to cry from his bad luck.
What terrible luck he has!
Just when I thought I was finally going to have some good luck, I discovered another secret that almost cost me my life.
"I...why am I so unlucky!" Cai Shu cried out, slapping his own face between sobs, "Serves you right for being so talkative! Serves you right for mentioning people you shouldn't have!"
Cai Shu's actions caused panic among the constables.
"My Lord, what happened?"
"What's wrong?" Cai Shu cried, tears streaming down his face. "Why did I bring up Marquis Zhaoping for no reason?"
The constables were confused.
"What's wrong with mentioning Marquis Zhaoping? Isn't Marquis Zhaoping with His Highness Prince Jing?"
"Yes, the fire was blazing at the time. I saw with my own eyes that Marquis Zhaoping was in Prince Jing's camp. I have never mistaken her for someone else. The clothes Marquis Zhaoping was wearing were the same clothes she wore before we parted ways."
Cai Shu was still crying.
The constables exchanged glances, a bad feeling creeping into their minds.
"Could it be that Marquis Zhaoping is dead... dead?!"
The group stared intently at Cai Shu, hoping to get a negative answer from him.
During their time together, they had seen firsthand what kind of person Marquis Zhaoping was.
They genuinely didn't want anything to happen to Marquis Zhaoping.
I finally heard that Marquis Zhaoping was safe and sound, but how could he have died so suddenly?
"Lord Zhaoping isn't dead! It was you officials who almost killed me!" Cai Shu glared and slapped each of the constables hard on the forehead.
To be precise, it was those of them who entered Prince Jing's camp who almost died!
If he hadn't acted so well, and in his quick wit revealed that the people in the birthday celebration group also knew that Marquis Zhaoping was with Prince Jing, and that Prince Jing couldn't possibly kill all of his "missions," then these people would have surely died in Prince Jing's camp while protecting him.
Marquis Zhaoping was kidnapped by bandits.
Marquis Zhaoping appeared at Prince Jing's camp.
Upon hearing that Marquis Zhaoping was in Prince Jing's camp, Prince Jing and his men became wary and their murderous intent surged.
You can taste it for yourself.
The abduction of Marquis Zhaoping had nothing to do with Prince Jing; Cai Shu simply took off his head and used it as a football.
"Sigh! Let's go back and fetch Doctor Su."
As for whether Marquis Zhaoping will live long enough to see him again, that depends on Prince Jing.
Cai Shu was truly powerless to help.
They also dared not have the ability.
