Chapter 308 -175: Joint Investigation (Part 3)
Zhao Zun felt anxious inside, he nodded, and took the first step up the stairs.
Once they reached the lookout tower, Zhao Zun and Xiao Zhengfei walked into the small cabin where sentinels rest. The other four trusted aides guarded the four corners outside the cabin.
With the door closed, Xiao Zhengfei’s usually serious and cautious face broke into a broad smile.
“Prince, the Princess Consort is truly remarkable,” Xiao Zhengfei said excitedly.
Seeing the smile on Xiao Zhengfei’s face, Zhao Zun felt slightly relieved. “Oh? What happened?”
Only then did Xiao Zhengfei begin recounting in detail the events in the Capital City since they met Han Lei.
Listening to Xiao Zhengfei’s narration, Zhao Zun’s eyes widened further.
Han Lei had Hua Tianyou deliver a message to him, saying she was going to the Capital City to check on business.
He hadn’t expected that Han Lei went to the Capital City for revenge on his behalf. If he had known earlier, he would never have agreed to Han Lei going to the Capital City.
Han Lei appeared delicate and sweet, her outward fragility naturally stirring a protective instinct within others.
Unexpectedly, beneath her harmless appearance was a daring heart.
How was the champion marquis in the Capital City a person of such power, capable of great influence?
Yet Han Lei took along a few injured soldiers and trusted aides and dared to rush into the champion marquis’s domain, overthrowing his entire family.
This kind of courage and resolution was truly extraordinary, and even the schemes behind it left him somewhat impressed.
Less than a month has passed since the appearance of the death warriors, and the mastermind’s entire family is no more. Does this girl’s nature qualify as vengeful?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zun slapped the small table beside, causing the cup on it to jump.
He made an effort to breathe deeply, his usually calm eyes now ablaze with terrifying anger.
“Nonsense!”
His voice was extremely low, yet carried the edge of a blade chilled by ice.
“What did I send you all to the Capital City for? If the Princess Consort wants to cause havoc, why didn’t you restrain her? Didn’t you know it would be very dangerous? Hmm?”
Zhao Zun’s last tone suddenly heightened, startling Xiao Zhengfei into a shiver.
Xiao Zhengfei hurriedly knelt on one knee, his throat moving a few times, forehead resting on overlapping hands.
“I admit guilt. But the Princess Consort… we couldn’t stop her…”
“Couldn’t stop her?” Zhao Zun suddenly sneered, his knuckles turning white from the pressure, “You men can’t stop one woman?”
“Calm down, Prince!” Xiao Zhengfei looked up abruptly, yet his tone was timid, “The Princess Consort said… said if the champion marquis dared to harm you, she dared to harm his whole family, she wanted revenge for you.”
“Who said I wanted her to take revenge? Revenge is a man’s affair. I don’t want her to take risks, just for her to be safe and happy.”
The more Zhao Zun spoke, the angrier he became, wishing to catch that girl right now and spank her hard.
“But, the Princess Consort also said… said…”
Xiao Zhengfei cautiously glanced at Zhao Zun’s expression, hesitating whether to continue.
“Said what?”
Zhao Zun glared at Xiao Zhengfei displeased, voice suppressed but his expression was clearly shouting.
Xiao Zhengfei faced his murderous gaze, shrinking his neck, timidly said: “The Princess Consort said… said no one can bully her husband.”
Husband?
Zhao Zun paused.
Husband means spouse?
It turns out, not only does he want to protect Han Lei, ensuring that she lives unharmed and happily in this foreign world.
That girl too, in her own way, is protecting him, although her ways are rather extreme and risky, which he doesn’t appreciate at all.
But somehow, a warm current enveloped him, and his heart was filled with an indescribable happiness.
“Ha!”
Zhao Zun couldn’t help but laugh, his anger gradually dissipating.
He eagerly wished to marry Han Lei back home at that moment, to cherish her with the rest of his life, to love her dearly.
“Phew!” Seeing his master’s mood improve, Xiao Zhengfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But what they still didn’t know was, not only did Han Lei take down the champion marquis’s family, she also intruded into the military camp controlled by the Su Family.
When Zhao Zun and Xiao Zhengfei walked out of the cabin, they looked as usual.
Throughout Canzhou, besides Luo Hai and a few of them, no one knew about the events at the champion marquis’s estate in the Capital City, mm. No one knew this matter was handled by Han Lei, a young woman.
And at this moment, Han Lei, just discussed some business matters at the Drunken Immortal Brew’s distillery in Jingzhou with Tao Qing and the others.
