Chapter 415 The Tenderness of the Old Father

When Zhao Zhenyuan saw Zhou Wu being captured, he laughed out loud with joy, saying, "God bless my Dayu, God bless my Dayu!"

As soon as Zhao Zhenyuan finished speaking, everyone raised their arms and shouted, "God bless us, Dayu!"

The shout resounded through the sky and made people's blood boil!

When Zhou Wu was escorted away, he glared at me and muttered something that I couldn't understand. However, Zhao Zhenyuan puffed out his chest and proudly replied, "He is my son, Zhao Changguang's son."

Zhou Wu then realized that he had been deceived by me, and he was so angry that he yelled and rushed towards me.

I couldn't understand what he was yelling, and no one translated for me. I just thought he was a lunatic, a mad dog that wanted to bite people, so I waved my hand and had him taken away.

Du Feilong was extremely excited after capturing Zhou Wu. Plus, since I was unharmed, he could report to His Majesty as well. So he immediately took people to send Zhou Wu and the surviving traitors to the palace to be decided by His Majesty.

The remnants of the Martial Arts Academy have been wiped out, and the number of people matches the list submitted by the rebels. In addition, a general of the Xihe Kingdom was captured. The matter at the Martial Arts Academy has finally come to a perfect end.

Zhao Zhenyuan was worried that Du Feilong could escort Zhou Wu back to the palace alone, so he asked Zhang Jing to bring 500 cavalrymen to escort him.

After all, Zhou Wu's capture was a big event for both the Western Zhou Kingdom and the Dayu Kingdom. If Zhou Wu was kidnapped, it would be a huge loss for the Dayu Kingdom.

After Du Feilong and Zhang Jing left with a group of people, less than four hundred people were left.

Zhao Zhenyuan ordered to clean up the dead traitors overnight to prevent anyone from faking their death and escaping.

The rest of the people received the order and immediately dispersed to do their work.

At this time, a man in the uniform of the Imperial Guard walked forward a few steps, suddenly turned around and rushed towards Zhao Zhenyuan. Only then did I see that he was holding a dagger flashing with cold light in his hand!

The distance between him and Zhao Zhenyuan was extremely close, and this sneak attack was undoubtedly aimed at Zhao Zhenyuan's life.

In a flash, I was standing next to Zhao Zhenyuan and accidentally pushed him. Zhao Zhenyuan took several steps back and the dagger came towards my face. I quickly turned my head and the dagger pierced into my hair.

This man saw that he could not kill Zhao Zhenyuan with one move. He was very clear about how powerful Zhao Zhenyuan was and knew that there would be no second chance, so he drew out the dagger and stabbed himself in the chest without hesitation.

With a "puff" sound, the dagger pierced the assassin's chest. The assassin's eyes rolled back and he fell straight to the ground on the snow. He died soon after.

Seeing the dead body on the ground, I subconsciously took a few steps back.

Zhao Zhenyuan, who was standing behind me, hugged me and said, "Don't be afraid, your father is here."

In fact, I was not afraid at all. I just felt that the assassin's death was disgusting and I was afraid that the blood would spray on me.

When the assassin pulled the dagger out of my hair, he cut off the hair on my head, and my black hair cascaded down and fell straight on my shoulders.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Zhao Zhenyuan reached out and touched my shiny black hair, saying, "As a girl, why don't you stay at home to do needlework but instead run around with an axe? How can you be so ugly?"

I angrily slapped his hand away. Why did you want to be a kind father now?

I said, "It's none of your business."

After saying that, I turned around and left.

Zhao Zhenyuan pulled me back and said, "You are a man outside now, and your hair is disheveled, so your identity will be immediately exposed."

I touched my head, frowned and said, "What should I do then?"

Zhao Zhenyuan actually took out a black hairband from his chest and said, "We will carry some small items with us during the march. Let me help you tie it."

The original owner's hair was black, thick and long, and very difficult to take care of. I have never tied my hair myself since I came here. When Zhao Zhenyuan said that, I didn't refuse.

Although Zhao Zhenyuan looks like a rough guy, he is very gentle and skilled in tying my hair. He quickly tied a beautiful bun for me.

I touched the round bun on my head, and suddenly I didn’t hate Zhao Zhenyuan so much anymore.

Perhaps he had his own difficulties, which was why he was so cruel to the children. Otherwise, since he loved Du Jinyue so much, how could he bear to hurt their children?

Zhao Zhenyuan saw me touching my hair bun without saying anything, and said with a smile: "Isn't your skill pretty good? You have been marching and fighting for decades, and although you may not have learned anything else, you are very skilled at tying hair."

Seeing his cautious and slightly flattering look, I smiled and said, "It is tied quite well."

Zhao Zhenyuan was so happy that he touched his head shyly like a child and grinned.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came. I looked up and saw Zheng Yan riding a horse and rushing towards me with a team of cavalry.

Zheng Yan saw me from afar, and regardless of the fact that his horse was still galloping, he jumped off his horse, leaped in front of me, hugged me, and murmured, "I met Minister Du on the road. He said he had a fight with Zhou Wu. I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Now I'm so glad to see that you're okay. It's really great."

I was stunned by Zheng Yan's hug. I blinked and didn't know how to react. Instead, Zhao Zhenyuan shouted at the right time: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince."

Only then did Zheng Yan notice that there was a sullen-faced General Zhao standing next to him.

Zheng Yan let me go with a little embarrassment, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, and said, "General Zhao, please don't be polite."

I saw that Zheng Yan's forehead was sweating, so I reached out and wiped his sweat, saying, "With General Zhao here, I will be fine."

As soon as my sleeve touched Zheng Yan's forehead, I could clearly see his whole body stiffen, and then he looked at me with a silly smile.

Zhao Zhenyuan is a smart man and had noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Yan a long time ago. But when he looked at me, he seemed like a fool and didn't understand anything.

So Zhao Zhenyuan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the remnants here have been cleared out, and the number of people is still being counted. We should be able to evacuate tomorrow."

When it comes to work, Zheng Yan immediately becomes serious. He nodded and said, "General Zhao, you have worked hard. Now that all the rebels have been captured, General Zhao should go back to the mansion and have a good rest. I will go back to the palace to report to my father."

Zheng Yan also saw that Zhao Zhenyuan looked very unhappy and thought that he was tired. He never thought that he was poisoned.

Zhao Zhenyuan quickly bowed to Zheng Yan and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zheng Yan looked at me, as if he had finally let go of his worries. He said with relief, "Ah Man, I'm glad you're okay. I still have something to report to my father. We'll say goodbye now."

I waved to Zheng Yan and said, "Go ahead. Don't worry about me. General Zhao is watching over me."

Zheng Yan smiled at me, then jumped on his horse and walked away without looking back.

As Zheng Yan left, Zhao Zhenyuan staggered and spat out another mouthful of black blood.

The poison had already taken over Zhao Zhenyuan's heart, so I hurriedly supported him and held his hand. A white light went from my hand into his hand, and after a long while, the white light slowly returned to my hand.
