However, the scar-faced man had already stood up and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you must be hungry. Come quickly and get some dry food and water." Thinking of something, he asked Yang Ning, "Do you want to drink, Your Majesty?"
Yang Ning calmed down for a moment, then his mind turned around and he understood the reason for the matter.
There is no doubt that this group of people must have recognized the wrong person. If he guessed correctly, the real prince is the hostage whom he buried in the bamboo forest.
His appearance was almost exactly the same as that of the hostage, and since he was wearing the same clothes, it was no wonder that he would be mistaken for the prince.
"It turns out that boy is actually a prince." Yang Ning thought to himself.
In his previous life, he was quite interested in history. He had read many books and was very familiar with the title "Crown Prince".
The prince is the eldest son of the emperor or princes in ancient times, or the person who inherits the throne or title. However, the successors of the emperor are mostly called princes, while the successors of princes are called princes.
Although Yang Ning knew that the hostage came from a wealthy family, he did not expect that he was actually a prince. However, after thinking about it, I am afraid that only by reaching the status of a prince can those Northern Han spies believe that they can be rewarded for their meritorious service.
"Master?" The big man's voice interrupted Yang Ning's thoughts. He raised his head and said "Ah". The scarred man looked respectful. He seemed to be too tall. Being condescending would make Yang Ning feel oppressed. He bent slightly. , smiled kindly: "Master, do you want to drink?"
Although he had a smile on his face, his scarred face was really uglier than crying.
Yang Ning smiled and asked: "Is there... any wine?" But he was thinking in his heart that these people had mistaken him for the prince. If he told them that they had mistakenly identified the person, they would definitely If you trace the source and find the corpse, you will definitely not be able to escape, and you will be forced to lead the way.
If they were led to find the body buried in the bamboo forest, how could these people believe that the prince's death had nothing to do with them
After all, they were wearing the clothes of the prince and had no chance of believing what he said. What was even worse was that almost all of the people at the scene of the incident were dead. Apart from himself, he was the only one who knew that someone had been kidnapped. There was only Xiao Guang, but Xiao Guang's whereabouts were unknown, and he couldn't tell even though his body was covered with mouths.
At this time, of course I can't tell them the truth, I can only act according to circumstances.
Moreover, I knew nothing about the prince's background or even his temperament. If the secret were to be exposed accidentally, the consequences would be disastrous.
In this case, it is best for you to be careful with your words and actions, and the less you say, the better.
The only thing that was known about the prince was that the fat man in gray robe once mentioned that he seemed to be a fool, but he still had no idea what kind of fool he was.
However, Yang Ning believed that the prince was definitely not an idiot, maybe he was just slow to react. Otherwise, how could an idiot become the prince
The few people in front of me, if nothing else, are all servants of the crown prince. Looking at the scarred-faced man's gentle questioning, we can also know that the crown prince still has the ability to speak and seems to like drinking. Otherwise, the scar-faced man It's impossible to come up and ask if you want to drink
Hearing Yang Ning ask if there was any wine, the scar-faced man smiled brightly and said: "There is wine, there is wine." He turned around and called: "Qi Feng, bring the wine quickly. By the way, the prince must be tired, hurry up and bring the seat cushion."
Several people immediately started busy, some getting food, some getting drinks, and some even pulled the cushions off the horses and put them on the ground, and then invited Yang Ning to sit down.
Yang Ning has never been treated like this before since he traveled through time. He only feels that it is extremely useful.
Almost all the mats on the horses were removed, and except for two placed on the ground for wine and food, the others were placed under Yang Ning's buttocks.
After Yang Ning sat down, food and drinks were put out. In addition to some dry food, there were two roast chickens and a large bag of beef. However, they were already cold and covered with a layer of frozen oil.
After Yang Ning traveled through time, he had not eaten meat yet. Now he saw that it was not about freezing or not, so he grabbed a roast chicken in his hand and wolfed it down.
Several people gathered around Yang Ning, watching Yang Ning devouring his food, but their faces were filled with excitement. The scar-faced man glanced at a tall and thin man next to him and said with a smile: "Qi Feng, look, The prince is really hungry." He picked up the wine bag, uncorked it, held it in both hands and handed it to Yang Ning, "Your Majesty, eat slowly, there is plenty, don't choke, come on, have a sip of wine."
Yang Ning took the wine bag and took a sip. It was a bit strong in the mouth, but the aroma of the wine was strong, and it was not bad wine. He put down the wine bag, stuffed a chicken drumstick in his mouth, and said vaguely: "You... you will also enjoy it." , go out with roast chicken and wine...!"
He said it casually, but the expressions of several people changed slightly. The scar-faced man hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we... After we learned that Your Majesty was captured, we immediately assigned people to search for him. We dare not make any move day and night. If you are lazy and look for clues along the way, you will risk your life to find the prince and protect him...!"
Yang Ning is so thoughtful, your prince has been buried in the ground, and you idiots will turn his body into bones by the time you find him.
The scar-faced man still explained: "We found clues along the way and knew that the prince might have been brought to this area, so we searched day and night, but... but in order to maintain physical strength and energy, we bought these on the road. Actually... actually... In order to find the prince and give him a good meal...!"
The man named Qi Feng on the side immediately said: "Master, Brother Duan did not lie. After leaving the capital, we worked non-stop day and night to find the whereabouts of Master Duan. Brother Duan often shed tears and said that if If the prince is not found, he will not return to the capital...!"
When Yang Ning heard the words "wash your face with tears", she was drinking. The wine was still in her mouth, and she sprayed it all on the scarred man's face.
Everyone was stunned. The scar-faced man raised his hand to wipe the drink from his face. He turned around and patted Qi Feng on the shoulder. He sighed softly: "Don't tell the prince these things anymore. Now that I have found the prince, Better than anything else.”
Qi Feng said with emotion: "Second Brother Duan, what I said is true. Are you worried about the Crown Prince day and night, and we can't even talk about it? You are loyal to the Crown Prince. Who among the brothers here doesn't know this? Crown Prince, Duan The things that the second brother bought are actually to replenish our strength. He himself... He hasn't eaten for many days." He was foaming at the mouth and speaking impassionedly.
Yang Ning looked suspicious. Seeing that the scarred man was in high spirits, it didn't look like he had been sleepless day and night, nor did he look like he hadn't eaten for many days.
The scar-faced man reached out and grabbed Qi Feng's hand, his eye circles suddenly turned red, "Brother Qi Feng, you... I won't say anything anymore. I will live and die with you in this life!"
Qi Feng immediately put on a smile and said: "Brother Duan, the ten taels of silver you owe me, can you... when you return to the capital?"
The scar-faced man immediately interrupted and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Wushang, take two people to search around here to see if there is anyone else. Be careful."
A cold-faced man said yes and led people to inspect the surroundings.
"Your surname is Duan?" Yang Ning had already finished most of the roast chicken in a moment, took a sip of wine and stared at the scar-faced man and asked.
The scar-faced man obviously did not expect that Yang Ning would ask this question. He was startled for a moment and said depressedly: "Your Majesty, you...have you forgotten your humble position?"
Yang Ning raised her finger and pointed at her brain, "My mind has been dizzy these days and I can't remember many things. You look familiar, but I can't remember your name."
The scar-faced man hurriedly said: "Duan Canghai, a humble official, has been in the mansion for many years. Does the Crown Prince remember him?"
"Duan Canghai?" Yang Ning muttered and grinned, "That's a good name."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." The scar-faced man said with a smile: "This name was chosen by me personally when the general was here, and I also thought it sounded very nice."
"General?" Yang Ning asked in confusion: "Which general?"
The scar-faced man Duan Canghai's smile froze, looking rather embarrassed: "Sir, you... you have forgotten General Wei, right? Then... that is your father."
This time, Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that the prince's father was actually a general. He said "Oh" and said, "My father's surname is Wei!"
Duan Canghai showed a dumbfounded expression and explained: "The prince remembered it wrong. The general's surname is not Wei, but Qi. General Wei is one of the three generals. In addition to the first-grade generals, the hussars general, chariot generals and Wei generals are the second-grade generals." General Pin Sangong, General Wei is your father’s title!”
Only then did Yang Ning realize it. She was embarrassed, but also surprised. She thought to herself that the father of the prince was actually a second-rank guard general. It seemed that he had a profound background.
Duan Canghai saw Yang Ning looking like he was thinking, and couldn't help but point his finger at Qi Feng beside him and asked: "Master, do you remember him? Do you know his name?"
Yang Ning said: "Isn't he Qi Feng?"
"The prince is wise!" Duan Canghai breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that the prince still remembers him."
Yang Ning said: "Didn't you just call him Qi Feng?"
Duan Canghai was stunned and even more embarrassed, but Qi Feng had already pulled his sleeves and winked. Duan Canghai understood what he meant and said to Yang Ning: "Master, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry!" He got up and followed Qi Feng. To the side, Yang Ning ate and drank while pricking up his ears to listen.
Qi Feng lowered his voice and said: "Brother Duan, it's not that you don't know that as long as things are more complicated, the prince's mind will become confused, and the more he talks, the more confused he will be. We'd better not talk more. I think the prince must be confused these days. I suffered a lot and was frightened a lot, so my mind was temporarily confused."
"It's no wonder that the Crown Prince doesn't even recognize me." Duan Canghai nodded slightly, "Now that we have found the Crown Prince, we can rest assured and rush back as soon as possible to avoid the worries of the Tai Madam and the Third Madam." Suddenly he frowned and looked at Yang Ning glanced sideways and saw that Yang Ning seemed to be focusing on eating and drinking. He lowered his voice and said, "Qi Feng, how did you think the prince escaped? Why did he appear here alone?"
