The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 459 Aren’t you afraid that I will be sad?

After hearing this, Du Wan immediately felt distressed, "It's just a break now and then. It's really hard work. When this matter is over, you must rest for a few more days. Even if your uncle asks him to do work, you have to push it away."

"Okay." Pei Hao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

 Don’t want to work, not at all.

I have been so busy lately that I can’t even see the little girl. But where the responsibility lies, it is not his turn to be willful.

Pei Hao took the little girl's hand and gently put his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean half against his chest. "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Did Wanwan miss me?"

 “Yes.” Du Wan did not lie.

"how many?"

 “This...so much?”

Du Wan playfully gestured with her little finger. Is it just as many fingernails?

Pei Hao gently bumped her forehead with his forehead, "You dare to say that, and you are not afraid that I will be sad?"

 “Don’t be afraid, you are famous for your hard-heartedness.” Du Wan took the words smoothly.

Pei Hao's face darkened when he heard this, "What did you say?"

 “There are rumors outside...” Du Wan laughed dryly.

 Mom, I made a slip of the tongue!

 But she was not the first to say this. Someone outside had scolded her like this. Of course, he was scolded not just by one word, but also by Du Qian, who was scolded as cunning and cunning.

 Two people were having a sweet quarrel with each other.

Hu San suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is a fight ahead."

"Um?"

 The two people in the carriage were surprised.

Du Wan listened for a while, but it was just the sound of fighting, and he didn’t know who the other party was.

Pei Hao opened the car curtain and said, "Hu San, go over and take a look."

 “I’ll go and watch it too.” How could Du Wan not watch it if there was a lot of excitement?

Before Pei Hao said anything, she quickly got out of the car, stood in the shaft and looked forward. At this time, the carriage had not stopped yet, and the driver's hands were shaking with fright.

 There was only the sound of fighting in front, and no one was seen.

Hu San took some guards and rode to lead the battle.

Du Wan came to his horse and jumped on it happily to follow.

Pei Hao was helpless when he saw the little girl like this, and ordered the coachman: "Catch up, don't let the princess be alone."

 “Yes, Crown Prince.”

 The coachman responded and flicked the whip in his hand, "Drive!"

 The horse pulling the cart became faster.

 Besides, Du Wan is about to catch up with Hu San.

 I saw Hu San participating in the battle, probably saving people. A group of refugees or disaster victims suddenly appeared here and attacked the new future prince-in-law Tang Zhixing.

　　When Du Wan passed by, the battle was already over. Some refugees saw that something was wrong and had already fled. "This is..."

Tang Zhixing was in a miserable state, and one arm was dripping with blood. He must have been injured.

He saw Du Wan coming and hurried up, "I've met the princess. Thank you very much for your life-saving grace."

“You’re welcome, the person who saved you is Hu San, who belongs to Prince Pei. I’m here to see the fun.” Du Wan’s straightforward language made Tang Zhixing a little uncomfortable.

Tang Zhixing wants to say something else.

Du Wan was the first to say, "You'd better stop the bleeding."

“What the princess said is true. I will thank the princess after I’m healed.” Tang Zhixing turned around and walked to the side. His entourage hurriedly bandaged his wound and poured powder to stop the bleeding.

 Hu San ordered people to tie up the captured people.

When Du Wan saw the scene, there were more than thirty people lying on the ground, which was a lot of people dead. Most of them look like victims of the disaster, and some are official officials. In addition, there are even more injured people. These official officials probably followed Tang Zhixing out to provide disaster relief, but were assassinated by the victims. Du Wan would not be so stupid as to think that these people were really victims of the disaster.

　　Can the real victims of the disaster still take up arms and bravely kill officials when they are too hungry to walk?

 There is something fishy about it when you think about it.

Of course, some of the victims are real, and there are mixed truths and falsehoods.

Pei Hao also came over in a carriage. After getting off the carriage, he walked to Du Wan's side. Seeing Du Wan's movements, he couldn't help but hold his forehead. He had a headache.

Du Wan was turning over the corpses of the victims with her toes, "Some of them are martial arts practitioners, pretending to be victims of the disaster."

"Did you see it?" Now that he was here, Pei Hao knelt down and inspected it carefully, "The person who found this body has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his martial arts should not be weak."

“But I can’t kill Tang Zhixing, so it’s quite useless.” Du Wan said in a low voice.

Pei Hao looked stunned. The little girl really dared to say anything.

If someone heard it, they might misunderstand that it was the killer she hired.

Just as Pei Hao stood up and tried to hold her hand out of habit, Du Wan moved quickly and said with a look of caution and disgust: "I just turned over the body and haven't washed my hands yet."

Pei Hao: “…”

 Yeah, I didn’t wash my hands.

 He looked at Hu San with cool peach blossom eyes.

Hu San immediately took out the water bag and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, wash your hands."

 “Okay.” Pei Hao stretched out his hands.

Hu San was pouring water aside.

The master and the servant just stood among a pile of corpses and washed their hands. Finally, Pei Hao took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his hands slowly.

Du Wan still kept some distance.

At this time, the stab wound on Tang Zhixing's arm has been bandaged.

Tang Zhixing stepped forward to thank Pei Hao. Pei Hao started chatting with him, as if he was handling a case, and asked some routine questions. Then Pei Hao left some people to finish up and continued his journey back to the city.

Tang Zhixing went back with him.

As his own carriage could no longer be used due to the attack, Pei Hao showed a rare act of generosity and gave his carriage to Tang Zhixing and some seriously injured people. Later, in the eyes of others, Pei Hao had to ride with Du Wan.

People who don’t know the truth think that Pei Hao is grand and a good person.

Only a few people who knew about it would suspect that Prince Pei did this just to ride with the princess.

Pei Hao put his arms around the little girl.

In the public eye, he had to restrain himself and act like a gentleman.

Du Wan thought it was nothing. Anyway, it was not the first time she and he rode a horse. "Prince Pei, who do you think will kill him?"

 “Who do you think you are?”

 “It’s hard to say, there is no evidence.”

Du Wan had a gut feeling that the male protagonist was causing trouble again, but she didn't think so. She had long thought that her guess might be biased, and she instinctively thought of the male protagonist as a bad guy, just like she would first think of Qin Yuyu when she saw any noble girl in trouble.

Pei Hao lowered his head and whispered: "Tell me, guess who?"

 “Xie family?” Du Wan said silently.

Pei Hao shook his head slightly and whispered: "It's hard to say. Tang Zhixing becoming the prince-in-law will hinder the interests of too many people. Do you think, if he dies in an accident, will others have a chance?"

 “That’s such a chance.”

“So, many people have the motive to kill him.”

“Well, if he hadn’t met us today, he would have died, and the news that he was killed by the refugees would have spread throughout the capital tomorrow.”
