Chapter 678: Cuscuta Cousin 41
frontier.
"Prince, this is the news from the capital." Chang Ji walked into the main tent holding a pigeon and a note in his hand.
He secretly glanced at his own prince, and thought of the words on the note, and felt hesitant to speak.
Fu Jinmo didn't look at him and took the note.
But as soon as he opened it, he froze.
"Engagement?" The man's eyes darkened for a moment.
"My Lord, I think there is a misunderstanding." Chang Ji stammered, "After all, that day was special."
Fu Jinmo didn't say anything, but the air pressure around him was terribly low.

A few days later.
News came from the border that Master Fu was injured on the battlefield, and the two hostesses in the Duke's Mansion were extremely worried.
I quickly went to the temple to pray.
Sheng Huan became "sick" because he absorbed too much spiritual energy. Therefore, he did not go to the temple with them this time.
When she woke up, it was almost afternoon.
"Miss, are you awake?" Furong quickly touched Sheng Huan's forehead and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's not hot anymore."
Sheng Huan looked around and spoke with a hoarse voice: "Aunt and the others haven't come back yet?"
Furong brought the tea over and said, "Not yet."
Sheng Huan was helped to drink the tea, and his throat finally felt much better.
But at this moment, a servant with blood all over his face ran in from outside.
"Oh no, cousin! Madam and the others have encountered an assassin and are in imminent danger!"
"what?!"
Sheng Huan quickly stood up and rushed out.
She suddenly thought of something and turned around and rushed into a yard.
The yard was quiet, but the woman still raised the token in her hand towards the yard.
"This is the token of my cousin, the prince. I need your help!"
The token reflected a faint cold light in the glow of the sunset. The next second after Sheng Huan finished speaking, a large group of people suddenly appeared and knelt on the ground.
"I am here, and I will obey the master's orders!"
-
On this side, Madam Fu and Madam Guogong had finished praying and had no plans to stay in the temple for long.
He got on the carriage early and went home.
"I don't know what's going on at the border." Lady Fu's eyelids twitched wildly: "I just hope Jin Mo and the others are safe."
"Sister-in-law, my brother and my master are both at the border. With them taking care of us, everything will be fine."
Mrs. Fu was comforted.
With a "swish" sound, suddenly at this moment, a sharp arrow shot in. When it was about to hit them, transparent water vapor came from nowhere and rushed towards the arrow, changing its direction.
"Ah!" Madam Fu Er and Madam Fu Guogong's heartbeats almost stopped because of fear.
In the wind, a corner of the car curtain opened slightly, and they saw that outside, the guards were fighting with several masked men.
"Madam! There is danger, run!"
cliff.
There were too many assassins, and after killing most of them, they caught up with the two sisters-in-law of Lady Fu, and even surrounded them on the edge of the cliff.
"Who the hell are you!"
The assassin didn't answer at all. The leader waved his hand and said, "Catch them alive. Go ahead!"
Madam Fu and Madam Fu II looked at each other. Although they didn't know what had happened, it was obvious that these people had captured them for some reason. Their eyes were firm - they would rather die than be captured.
So, just when they were about to jump off the cliff, there was a "swish!" sound, and the sound of a long arrow cutting through the sky was heard, and the next moment, it shot straight into the leader's back.
"Mrs. Protector!"
A large group of people suddenly appeared and started fighting with the assassin.
"Aunt, aunt!"
Sheng Huan took advantage of the chaos, ran over breathlessly, and quickly supported them.
There were several people surrounding her who were specifically protecting her.
"Ying'er..."
When the wife of Duke Fu and the second wife of Fu saw Sheng Huan, they were both shocked.
"Why are you here? It's so dangerous here, let's go!" Mrs. Fu's makeup was messed up, but she was still very worried about Sheng Huan's safety.
"It's okay, aunt, don't worry. I brought people to rescue you." Seeing that they were still alert, Sheng Huan hurriedly said: "They are the prince's cousin's people, don't be afraid, we will be safe."
"Jin Mo's people?" Lady Fu, Duke of Fu, looked at the group of people in embarrassment, but she obviously found that these people themselves didn't know.
Then, how did Ying'er know about this? And how could she bring them here to save them?
"Yes." Sheng Huan nodded heavily, without time to explain: "Aunt, Aunt, it's too dangerous here, let's go quickly."
While fleeing in a panic, Lady Fu, the Duke's wife, accidentally saw a long coil of thread protruding from the neck of the anxious and worried woman beside her, and hanging under the long coil of thread was a... token.

royal palace.
"What?!" The Eighth Prince, now the new emperor, was furious when he heard that someone had escaped: "You couldn't even catch two women, and you're the only one who escaped. What a waste!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't know they had reinforcements. Moreover, those reinforcements were quite strong and well-trained. They were brought by their cousin. I was caught off guard." The man in black knelt on the ground in embarrassment. "It was my fault for not doing my job well."
The new emperor didn't want to hear that. He waved his hand and said, "Drag him away and chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs."
"Your Majesty!" The man in black looked up in horror.
The new emperor remained indifferent.
After everyone left, the new emperor began to think about it.
"Reinforcements?" He was filled with anger: "All the men in the Fu family are on the battlefield, where did the reinforcements come from? They were brought by that cousin."
"What can a cousin do?"
The chief eunuch knelt on the ground and stuttered, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the cousin of the Fu family is engaged to the Xiao prince? Those reinforcements may be from the Xiao family..."
The new emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"Xiao family, Fu family, I forgot about this relationship..."
