Zhou Gang happily said: “His Royal Highness knows how to make charcoal?”

Hu Feng swung his sword and chopped down the pear tree, and said in a low voice: “In Huangtuo Village, I live the life of ordinary people, so it’s not surprising that I can do what they can do.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Gang’s face was filled with sadness. They all didn’t have an easy life in these past three years.

Fortunately, they all survived. They all survived until the end to have a turning point.

While Zhou Gang was burning the woods in the yard, Hu Feng went out to buy some food. He walked in the street while looking around secretly.

Sure enough, as he expected, there were officers and soldiers in plain clothes squatting everywhere. Although they tried hard to pretend to be ordinary people, the way they move and talk doesn’t look like ordinary people at all. After all, they were not ordinary.

On the contrary, Hu Feng looked very ordinary. He smeared his face, kept lowering his head, and shrink her shoulders while he talked and walked. Additionally, he was wearing very ordinary clothes. With his three years of experience as a civilian, he perfectly deceived everyone’s eyes.

Hu Feng handed two steamed buns to Jin’er: “Eat it.”

Jin’er hadn’t eaten anything for two days. When she saw the steamed buns, she couldn’t care about any etiquette at all. She hurriedly took the buns and ate them. After eating a few bites, she found that both men were looking at her, she blushed in shame and turned around to continue eating.

After Jin’er finished eating, Hu Feng asked, “Miss Jin, can you tell us what happened after you got here?”

Jin’er turned her head and glanced at the princess beside her. Her body trembled when the tragic situation of that night seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.

Hu Feng and Zhou Gang didn’t urge her either, they waited for her to calm down.

After a while, Jin’er finally spoke: “When we arrived at Jinyang City that day, it was already nearly evening. The prince and the princess went to their rooms to rest after a simple dinner. There was nothing unusual at the beginning. Apart from us, there were only the guards of the post house, and no one else. But in the middle of the night, a group of people in black appeared in the post house. All of them were highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. They killed all the guards we had brought. The Prince wants to protect the princess, but he was almost killed by the assassins. The Princess saved the prince and was poisoned in the end.”

“The Prince was defeated by those assassins and had no choice but to ran away wounded. Those people didn’t care about me and the princess anymore, they all went after the Prince.”

“Later, a man who claimed to be Prince Jin came. He arrested the remaining guards and maids in the post house and said that he would interrogate them strictly.”

Zhou Gang asked: “Why didn’t he arrest you and the princess?”

Jin’er shook his head: “I don’t know. Everyone has been taken away. Only me and the princess are left behind. I don’t know why.”

Hu Feng pulled out a pear tree that was about to be burnt and poured water on it, which made it have a sizzling sound. When the pear tree was completely black, he threw it into the fire again, then said: “Because they need your princess as a bait. With this bait, we will come to your door. Only when we fall into their trap, they will achieve what they want.”

Hu Feng looked at Zhou Gang again and said with a faint smile: “Now, we are all caught in this trap.”

Zhou Gang snorted: “Don’t let me know who is behind the scenes, I will not spare him.”

Hu Feng opened his mouth and then closed it again. After all, he and Zhou Gang were not the only ones at this moment. Some words were not convenient to say.
