I’m The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

  Li Mingjin: "The second prince of Zhou kingdom has never shown up."

    Luo Shuyu : "So we have to find him. At first, no one found out that it was Zhou kingdom who did it, but now he suddenly came forward. Maybe Zhou kingdom’s second prince’s group and Princess Jiayang group have never reached a consensus."

    Li Mingjin understood Luo Shuyu's meaning: "It seems that Zhou's royal family is also quite chaotic. There are far more people who hinder than those who can work. They all want to take credit, but there are also people who want to take all the credit."

    Luo Shuyu praised him at the right time: "Your Highness is wise. "

    So the Princess Jiayang in the previous life was defeated by the second prince in Zhou kingdom’s internal strife, and so he didn’t appear in the tribute team.

    After smoothing out the relationship here, it became clear why there was no such person as Princess Jiayang in the previous life. What was more, Shen Mingyun saved the second prince of Zhou Kingdom in his previous life, and he didn't know where he was now. When he was injured, he appeared in the Zhuangzi that Shen Mingyun bought privately. Now that Shen Mingyun had entered the fourth prince's mansion, he had too little time to go out and wander around, it was impossible to live in Zhuangzi, so it was impossible to meet the second prince of Zhou Kingdom.

    So, because the whereabouts of the second prince of Zhou Kingdom was unknown, and Princess Jiayang decided to make his own decisions?

    There was too little information, Luo Shuyu could only rely on guesswork, but it was a good thing that the fact that Zhou Kingdom planted spies in Daxia had known.

    Emperor Tiansheng had already sent people to investigate this matter, and things would  become clearer. The second prince of Zhou Kingdom would  show his face sooner or later. Maybe he would  meet Shen Mingyun again, it was just a matter of time.

    Li Mingjin held Luo Shuyu's hand tightly: "It's still Yu'er who is smart and helped me solve a big problem. That Princess Jiayang, I must capture him alive."

     Luo Shuyu asked him: "It's freezing cold, Your Highness, where do you think that Princess Jiayang will settle down?"

    Li Mingjin took out a sharpened knife from his ankle, and lightly scratched a few marks on the table: "There is a small town in three mile to the east, if you don't rest and keep going, if you ride fast with the horse, it will take half a day to reach the next place where you can stay."

    "Is there another path?" Luo Shuyu asked him, "Jiayang is being hunted, and will he  blatantly follow the official road?"

    Li Mingjin: "There is another trail, but in snowy days, unless you are used to hunt and run around in the mountains, no one can cross it directly."

    Luo Shuyu asked him with his chin in his hand: "Then how can he avoid the pursuers and ensure that he can survive, while she doesn't wear thick clothes and with limited food."

    Li Mingjin had a flash of inspiration: "It’s very likely that he will return to the city within two days."

    Luo Shuyu: "Your Highness is right, as long as you find him, you can wipe out all their spies. "

    Actually, rather than cleaning up Zhou Kingdom’s spies, it was better to say that he was paving the way for Li Mingjin from now on.

    There was nothing more real than gaining real power. This was the only way to keep them alive.

    Li Mingjin nodded. He didn't want Luo Shuyu to waste his brain too much. After watching the snow scene with Luo Shuyu for a while, they returned to the city in a carriage.

    The assassination of the crown prince and the kidnapping of the third imperial concubine by the assassin in the street caused a lot of uproar. The mastermind had escaped, and only a few young men were captured. Endless torture and death awaited them.

    Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin went back to the mansion directly. It was freezing cold. After Luo Shuyu took a comfortable bath, Li Mingjin asked him to stay in the room to keep warm, and he was not allowed to go anywhere. Being sick and catching a cold was not easy.

    That night, Li Mingjin hugged Luo Shuyu tightly in fear.

    In his dream, he dreamed of a carriage full of arrows. In the dream, Luo Shuyu's face was pale and his eyes were flustered. Li Mingjin was break out in a cold sweat, and then woke up.

    On the second day, the news that Luo Shuyu was held hostage by the assassin spread like wildfire, and the news that the crown prince was assassinated was suppressed, and rumors about Luo Shuyu being held hostage by the assassin spread everywhere.

    The palace sent people to send a lot of precious items, it was self-evident who did this.

    Li Mingjin stared fiercely at the gift from the queen: "The prime minister is so scheming, he actually used Yu'er as a shield!"

    Luo Shuyu patted him on the back and gave him a soft smile: "Your Highness, don't be upset. When I was kidnapped, many people have seen it, since they want to use me, why don’t we create a reputation for ourselves and turn our disadvantages into advantages?"

    Li Mingjin: "Does Yu'er have a good plan?"

    Luo Shuyu: "We may need to use Mr. Chen, presumably he has a perfect solution, mainly because he has a good literary talent."

    Li Mingjin's eyes lit up: "Yu'er means to create momentum for us?"

    Luo Shuyu nodded: "

Well, the prince wasn't injured, but I was taken hostage outside the city and frightened, so it's not too much to use it. "

    Li Mingjin: “Of course it’s not to much.”

    Chen Rong really lived up to expectations, within two days, the whole capital was spreading the story of Luo Shuyu's heroic fight against the assassin!

    The storytellers in the teahouse all said this: "The third imperial concubine, with the spirit of preferring death than surrender. At that time, when he was fighting the assassin in the snow, struggling to hold on, when the sharp knife almost pierced his neck, finally the third prince who descended from the sky came! he saw the third prince showing off his might and fighting the assassin for 300 rounds, the carriage was shaken to pieces, and finally rescued the third imperial concubine from the assassin! In the end, the husband and wife must be of the same mind, and its benefits can cut through gold!!"

    Later, Luo Shuyu asked Chen Rong why the story was so exaggerated, it felt like the third prince was about to grow three heads and six arms!

    Chen Rong couldn't say a nonsense: "This script was written by His Highness himself, and there was more exaggerated version, but I strongly rejected it."

    Luo Shuyu: "...then he must be very sorry."

    Although it was different from the original idea , but, so be it.

The author has something to say:
