Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

The information he gathered was completely different from what Chu Jingrui and Chu Jinsheng told him. If asked who he believed, Wang Zheng would naturally believe the information he heard with his own ears.

Seeing that the two were so eager to get him over, Wang Zheng didn't know why, but his intuition told him that neither Chu Jingrui nor Chu Jinsheng were sincere!

These two men have never had a good relationship with their prince, and Chu Jingrui even took over their prince's original military power as soon as he went to the border.

Knowing that he was the prince's former right-hand man, he often found fault with him, which led to him being unable to stay in the army and leaving the border.

Wang Zheng didn't believe that Chu Jingrui would change his mind and actually help him in such a short time, given how petty he was.

After much deliberation, Wang Zheng decided not to leave with Chu Jingrui and Chu Jinsheng.

He has plenty of ways to sneak into the city. Even if the city gates are a little more heavily guarded these days, he can wait until the guards are a bit more relaxed before finding a way to sneak in.

Anyway, the prince and his family are all in the city. As long as I inquire more, I believe I will be able to find them soon.

His own family members are also said to be in Liancheng.

He can look for them together then.

He didn't want to trouble Chu Jingrui and Chu Jinsheng, as he didn't have such a deep relationship with the First Prince and the Second Prince.

Thinking of all this, Wang Zheng's expression remained indifferent, and he said coldly:

"Thank you for your kindness, First Prince and Second Prince. However, I am not familiar with either of you, and I would not trouble you with my affairs."

It's just a small matter. Since the prince is in the city, I'll run into them sooner or later as long as I enter the city. Whether it's sooner or later makes no difference to me.

"But the two princes have precious time. It's not worth wasting your time on my business. Whatever it is, First Prince and Second Prince, please hurry up and attend to it. Aren't you here to catch thieves? If you delay any longer, the thieves will escape."

Wang Zheng used to work alongside Xie Moyao, so he had some sense of danger.

For some reason, he felt somewhat uncomfortable being with the First Prince and the Second Prince today; the two of them were being far too attentive to him.

There's a feeling that if someone is being overly solicitous, they must be up to no good.

He was a rough man and couldn't read, but he knew this saying because Xie Moyao had told him it before.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingrui and Chu Jinsheng exchanged a glance, their eyes showing displeasure.

Before Chu Jinsheng could speak, Chu Jingrui said unhappily:

"Wang Zheng, I'm kindly inviting you back with me, and I'm even going to take you to find Xie Moyao. Don't refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences."

Chu Jingrui was used to speaking to people in a condescending tone, and when he heard that Wang Zheng was unwilling to go back with them, he immediately became angry.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zheng's expression changed.

Just as he expected, it was probably no coincidence that the eldest and second princes had found him this time. Perhaps the two of them had come out of the city to look for him.

Thinking further ahead, the group of soldiers who went to the village to inquire about his whereabouts might also be men of the First Prince and the Second Prince.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng was horrified, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously took a step back, retreating to the edge of the cliff.

As he stepped on the rocks on the cliff edge, several pieces fell down to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing that Wang Zheng was in bad shape, Chu Jinsheng gritted his teeth and cursed Chu Jingrui under his breath!

They don't even think before they speak. No matter what, they just want to coax the person over first. There's a cliff behind them. If this person falls off, all their efforts over the past few days will be wasted!

Most importantly, this is their most useful tool in dealing with Xie Moyao. Without Wang Zheng, it will be difficult for them to deal with Xie Moyao and Ji Yunshu.

Thinking of this, Chu Jinsheng quickly smiled and comforted Wang Zheng.

"Wang Zheng, don't worry about the Second Prince. He's just a bit blunt. He just wants you to come over quickly because there's some danger in your area."

Didn't you want to see your prince? Well, we're also heading into the city, but the city gates are closed today. Without me and the Second Prince, you won't be able to get in.

Why not come with us and use our connections to get into the city?

"Come here first. It's really dangerous behind you. If you slip, your life or death is uncertain. Then, no one will care about your master's fate."

Chu Jinsheng felt a little smug. Compared to him, Chu Jingrui was simply no match for him when it came to talking!

If Chu Jingrui hadn't spoken first, Wang Zheng might have already been coaxed into submission.

But Wang Zheng was already on guard, and if he hadn't misheard, the eldest prince had called his name.

Wang Zheng sneered.

"Hmph, Second Prince, First Prince, what a fine show you've put on!"

Your Highness, if I remember correctly, we have never met before. I would like to ask how you know my name?

"I think you and the Second Prince came out of the city this time specifically to see me, didn't you? You even lied to me, saying you were tracking down thieves!"

Wang Zheng became more and more certain as he spoke, his vigilance deepening, and he even subconsciously adopted a defensive posture.

Chu Jingrui blinked, then immediately realized that he and Chu Jinsheng seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Especially Chu Jinsheng, why does he keep mentioning Wang Zheng's name?!

He and Wang Zheng had never met. Wasn't this a blatant way of telling Wang Zheng that they were here specifically for him?

Chu Jingrui was getting angry and was about to speak when he heard Chu Jinsheng say,

"You're overthinking it. We really came out this time to track down the thieves! Otherwise, why would the Second Prince and I go through all this trouble if the city gates were closed?"

I never expected that you wouldn't trust us, and instead harbor so many suspicions about us...

"Bah, Your Highness, you don't need to argue anymore. Although I am a warrior who is illiterate and uneducated, I am not a fool!"

I saw everything clearly as you were working together. You can't fool me now.

"Speak! What exactly is the reason you've gone to such lengths to find me? And weren't you the ones who came to my village looking for me before?!"

He had been puzzled for a long time: who would know his name and go to his village to look for him?

Looking back now, the answer is obvious: it's the people of the First Prince and the Second Prince. What exactly do they want from me?
