Chapter 340 The Prince's Promise

When Luo Tiandu woke up, it was already dark, and a bonfire on the ground would not be extinguished because the firewood was almost exhausted. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, and the flames jumped twice in the wind, sparks splashed everywhere.

After a long time, she got used to the surrounding light and found herself lying on the ground with a thick layer of dead branches underneath. No wonder she felt uncomfortable sleeping.Another look at the body covered with a thick cloak.Not far from her, there was another person curled up by the fire, fast asleep, but it was not Wei Que.

Her head was in a daze for a while, and then she remembered that she had found Wei Que and was going to meet the Eighth Prince with Wei Que. Wei Que led her to a cave, and then it seemed that someone knocked her on the head. , knocked her out.

Her heart tightened, and she reflexively wanted to take off the cloak on her body, but with this movement, she suddenly felt dizzy and nauseated in her stomach.She knew it was because she had been hit on the head before, and she had a bit of sequelae of a concussion.

As soon as she moved, the man who was sleeping by the fire woke up quickly.Luo Tian quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep, and wanted to see what this man was going to do.

The man walked in front of her, he seemed to be hesitant, bent down, and was about to check on her situation, at this moment, Luo Tian suddenly became violent, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and a black dagger was pressed against his neck superior.

"Who are you? Where's Wei Que? What have you done to Wei Que?" Luo Tiandu was surprised, he took the lead to restrain him, and asked viciously.

The man seemed a little surprised, with his hands crossed in front of his chest: "Hey, calm down, Wei Que has gone out to collect firewood."

Luo Tian was taken aback, looked up at him, and found that although he was wearing the most common leather armor in the barracks, his demeanor was not at all like that of an ordinary soldier, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and there was a faint shadow of Emperor Tianqi between his brows and eyes.

She understood the identity of the other party almost immediately: "His Royal Highness?"

Feng Taoling heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It's me." Then he pointed to the dagger at his throat and discussed, "Mrs. Wei, can this one be put down?"

When he was in Beijing, he often heard people say that Wei Que's newly married wife was a very cruel woman. At that time, he didn't really believe it. I don't like it, it's nothing more than deliberately ruining Mrs. Wei's reputation. Now it seems that it is not groundless. Among other things, this dagger kung fu is really amazing, and even he has been hit. It is also an important reason for him to be one of his own, completely unprepared.

Luo Tiandu then withdrew the dagger and sat up reluctantly. This movement made him dizzy and nauseated even more.

"You were the one who knocked me out?" She was dizzy, and she understood right away.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Feng Taoling's face, and he said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wei, I heard strange footsteps and thought it was someone who was chasing me, so..." Anyway, he was dignified in the Daqing Dynasty. The prince, sneaking up on a woman from behind, it's a bit disgraceful to say it.

Luo Tiandu had a sleepy expression on his face, leaning back shyly by the fire.She was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, a cotton-padded hat, and thick gloves on her hands. To put it in a very popular saying in later generations, she was truly armed to the teeth, but even so, she still felt cold. panic.She couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Feng Taoling who was opposite him again, only to see that he was only wearing an ordinary wallet, which was still tattered. Those who slept on the ground didn't know how cold it was.

Feng Taoling was feeling guilty, and when he saw Luo Tian looking at him frequently, he hurriedly said flatteringly, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?" While talking, he hurriedly brought out a broken earthen pot that was simmering beside the fire However, given his status, he must have never done such a job of serving people. He is very unskilled in the business, and he almost threw the crock pot out of the heat.

Luo Tian couldn't see it anymore, and said, "I'll do it myself, I don't dare to trouble you." After finishing speaking, he pulled a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his fingers twice, then picked up the earthen pot and blew it up. Blow, drank two sips of hot water, felt a little better in the stomach, and handed the crock to Feng Taoling.

Feng Taoling took it over, and didn't dislike that Luo Tian had already drank it, so he poured down half a can of hot water in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's okay if you don't drink water, but once you drink it, the hungrier you will be."

As if to prove what he said, his stomach also growled at this time very cooperatively, and he laughed at himself: "Hey, I haven't had a full meal for several days, let Mrs. Wei I laughed."

Luo Tian was silent. On this icy and snowy Wolf Mountain, there were barbarians in front and pursuers in the back. It was God's grace to escape.She remembered the horse she had left halfway up the mountain, and there was still some dry food in the pack on the horse's back, so she wrapped the scarf over her head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, and walked out leaning on the stone wall.

Feng Taoling was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up to stop her and said, "Where are you going?"

"My horse is tied up on the mountainside, and all the dry food I bring is in the pack on the horse's back." She said in a low voice.

Feng Taoling's eyes lit up, he shouted joyfully, and said, "Grandma, you stay here, I'll go!" Because he accidentally injured Luo Tiandu, Wei Que's eyes at that time were colder than the north wind blowing outside the cave, If he knew that Luo Tian was still lying down alone in the middle of the night because of that little dry food, he wouldn't have to live anymore, and Wei Que would stare at him to death.

Luo Tian didn't dare to let him go out to take risks. When the two were arguing, Wei Que walked in with a bundle of firewood and asked, "Where are you going?"

Feng Taoling hurriedly said: "Mrs. Wei said that all the dry food she brought was put in the bundle on the horse's back. The mountain road is not easy to walk, so she tied the horse halfway up the mountain."

Hearing the food, Wei Que's eyes lit up, and he said indifferently, "I'll go."

"I'll go with you." Luo Tian was already fully armed, she would rather go outside with Wei Que to enjoy the cold wind than stay in the cave alone with Feng Taoling, as long as she thinks that they will fall into this situation, He couldn't get away from this Feng Taoling and his brothers, so he felt uncomfortable.

Although she knew that Feng Taoling was also a victim, it was a bit too much to blame him, but who made it his own brother who really caused all this?
Wei Que raised his hand to press on the back of her head, Luo Tian gave a weird cry, covered his head with both hands, and shouted, "Don't press it, I'm so dizzy and want to vomit."

Wei Que pulled her, pushed her to the side of the fire, squatted halfway, added firewood to the fire, then bent his face down, put his face almost on the ground, and blew under the fire.Probably because the firewood was too damp, it didn't ignite, on the contrary, although it was covered with heat, a puff of smoke came out, Wei Que was choked and coughed repeatedly, and when he bowed, the bones on his back protruded, which was very obvious.

Luo Tian saw that his eyes were moist, and he didn't know how much they had suffered in the past few months. Wei Que, a strong man, was tortured to the point where he is now, with high cheekbones and thin face. Out of shape, the lips are so dry that they are peeled, revealing deep lines, and bloodshot, the white hair is even more messy, and the ends of the hair are knotted, and I don’t know how long it hasn’t been washed. It looked dark, that's why she didn't recognize Wei Que at the beginning.

Her heart couldn't help being sour, Wei Que seemed to feel her deep breath, moved his ears, reached out and touched her eyelids, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm fine, you are waiting for me here, I am very happy." Be back soon."

Looking at the interaction between the two of them, Feng Taoling didn't know why, but he felt a little envious in his heart. He envied that Wei Que had such a good life, married a good wife who was dedicated to him, and when he heard the news of his accident, she was not afraid of hardships. Chase all the way to find him.

Seeing this, he would inevitably think of the women in his mansion.He is also 19 years old this year, because he has been on duty in the military department, and he left the palace early. Although he is not married, there are three or four concubines in the mansion, and they are all delicate beauties. I have to say that I love him , but no one has the courage to leave Shangjing to search for him whose whereabouts are unknown like Luo Tiandu.

After Wei Que had finished explaining to Luo Tian, ​​he raised his long sword, turned around and walked halfway up the mountain with a slightly heavier pace than usual.

Luo Tiandu couldn't fall asleep at this time either, he touched a stick and poked the fire boredly.

Feng Taoling cheered up and asked her, "Where are my father and queen mother? Are they all right?"

Luo Tian glanced at him sideways, a little surprised that the first thing he asked about Shangjing was the situation of Emperor Tianqi and Empress Ning. Well, His Majesty has fallen ill since he heard the news of your death in Donglin Mountain, and Empress Empress has gained a lot of new hair overnight."

Feng Tao Ling lowered his head and remained silent.

Luo Tian thought of Empress Ning's motherly love, and she was a little soft-hearted, so he persuaded: "Don't worry too much, as soon as we learn that you are still alive, we will let Jiang Jun return to Shangjing. Now His Majesty is afraid that you will know sooner. After hearing your news, it won't be long before someone will come to pick you up."

Feng Taoling took a deep breath and asked again: "Then... where are my brothers?"

Luo Tian sneered, and said: "Going to Beijing a few months earlier, it's almost turned upside down, but it's very lively." Then he told him everything that happened in the court in the past few months, even the Fourth Prince's rebellion was suppressed. There was no omission of the killing, and it was all said.

Feng Taoling was stunned, and said with a sneer: "My fourth brother claims to be very smart, but he never thought that this time he was also used as a gunman to make wedding dresses for others."

Luo Tian couldn't cope with the fact that the royal heirs were quarreling with each other, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending that he didn't hear it.

Feng Taoling suddenly said: "Wei Luoshi."

Luo Tiandu raised his head in surprise, not understanding why Feng Taoling suddenly called her surname so solemnly.

"You and Wei Que saved me. In the name of Prince Daqing, I swear to you that if I succeed to the throne one day, I will not treat Wei Que poorly."
