Chapter 662 Departure back to Beijing
At the same time, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were already on their way back to Beijing.
They were not as anxious as when they came, because there were two injured people, Long Yin and An Qi, among the entourage. Ji Yuntang specially bought a carriage at the horse shop in Liangzhoukou.
With the presence of An Qi, this lively guy, the carriage was never quiet throughout the journey.
He kept complaining to Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe about what had happened over the years.
Among them, what An Qi talked about the most was the story of how they fought wits and courage with Jiang Wangbei.
As soon as he heard something, Ji Yuntang stopped him.
"Stop, you just said that you were the one who poisoned the well in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion?"
An Qi didn't understand why Ji Yuntang was looking at him suspiciously, so he nodded.
"Yes, Princess. The poison in his well was planted by me."
"I know that the well in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion is used by Jiang Wangbei alone, so I put some poison in it, hoping to poison him to death."
"The inmate who sold the poison to my subordinate said that the poison was dysentery, which could kill people in severe cases."
"But I didn't expect that after the poison was put into the well, Jiang Wangbei didn't have any symptoms after drinking it. He took five taels of silver from my subordinate and deceived him. I'm really pissed off."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
Ji Yuntang: "!!!"
She never expected that the poison in the well water in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion was actually put there by An Qi.
Before, she had guessed that the poison was put there by one of Jiang Wangbei’s enemies.
Ji Yuntang thought that no one would have thought that this person would be An Qi.
Seeing that An Qi was still complaining about the poison not taking effect, Ji Yuntang's mouth twitched.
She said, "You wronged your cellmate. After Jiang Wangbei drank the poison, he vomited and had diarrhea for the whole day."
"If it weren't for this, how could this princess and the prince have run to the dungeon and rescue you two?"
It was precisely because the poison given by An Qi distracted Jiang Wangbei and left him with no energy to pay attention to what was happening in the dungeon that their prison break plan was so successful.
Otherwise, it would take some effort for Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe to rescue An Qi and Long Yin.
An Qi was a little surprised, and he looked at Ji Yuntang with joy.
"Princess, so this means that I have done a good thing?"
Ji Yuntang gave him a thumbs up and praised: "That's natural, you did a great job."
Apart from the fact that Gu Zhou accidentally drank the water and contracted dysentery, there was basically no harm to them.
The carriage moved very slowly, and it took Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe three full days before they entered the capital.
Long Yin and An Qi looked at the road signs beside them, feeling filled with emotion.
They had been gone for three years, and they themselves had never thought that they would return to the capital.
An Qi said: "I didn't expect that after three years, I would be back again."
Even when he was being escorted into exile, he had never expected that he would be gone for so long.
They thought that they and Luo Junhe would only be separated for a few months at most.
Unexpectedly, so many things happened to each other and both sides almost lost their lives.
They have all survived the brink of life and death, so it would be a lie to say that their hearts are not complicated.
Luo Junhe stood beside the two of them, patted their shoulders, and said with thin lips: "Three years ago, you suffered an unjust accusation for me, were exiled and imprisoned, and suffered torture by the evil people for three years."
"Although the culprit Jiang Wangbei is dead, I believe there must be other dark forces behind him."
"I promise you that I will find the mastermind behind this and avenge you for the past three years."
Luo Junhe didn't believe that the smuggling of salt was framed by Jiang Wangbei. He didn't have that ability.
The Jiang family is not considered a famous family in the capital, at most it is a second-rate family.
Even if they were sold out or a knife was placed on their necks, they would not dare to touch contraband salt.
Therefore, Luo Junhe felt that the original smuggling salt case must be related to his poisoning and disability.
However, the evidence from three years ago had been destroyed, so it was not easy for him to find out the truth of the matter.
Before going to Liangzhoukou, he and Ji Yuntang had already checked some things.
Even if the two of them had suspicions in their hearts, without evidence, they would not be able to find out who was behind it.
Long Yin looked at Luo Junhe, bowed and knelt on the ground.
He pursed his lips and said, "I am very happy to see the prince again. I don't want the prince and princess to take risks for us again."
"If my return to the capital this time will put the prince and princess in a dilemma, then I would rather die in the dungeon than go back."
He lowered his head and his voice was a little heavy.
How could Long Yin not know that Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang rescued them this time without obtaining Emperor Jingyang's consent.
In that case, they were committing illegal prison break, and those with serious circumstances would have their homes confiscated and beheaded.
If he and An Qi returned to the capital, Long Yin knew without a second thought that Emperor Jingyang would definitely cause trouble for him and Ji Yuntang.
He was just a guard and didn't want to implicate Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang and make them take risks for him.
After hearing these words, An Qi also stopped acting so nonchalant.
At this moment, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.
The fact that Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang were able to come to jailbreak means that they did not find any evidence in the salt smuggling case.
In this way, if the two of them return to Beijing, it will only implicate Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang.
Although An Qi really wanted to meet Luo Junhe, he didn't want to implicate the entire Yewang Mansion because of himself.
Luo Junhe knew that An Qi and Long Yin were thinking about him, but he still disagreed in his heart.
After all, he is a war god and prince. If he can't even protect his two subordinates, how can he have the face to live in this world?
Luo Junhe's eyes were dark, and he said in a deep voice: "This king and this king's princess went through so much trouble to rescue you, not to listen to what you said."
"If I was afraid that you would get involved, I would not have chosen to save you, but would have let you die in prison instead."
"I remember that I told you a long time ago that you are not only my personal guards, but also my best friends."
"Since we are friends, we must share life and death and adversity. You have endured three years of injustice for me, so I will naturally not ignore you."
"Even if I have to risk everything, I will save you from my father. Don't worry about that."
After Luo Junhe finished speaking, Ji Yuntang also said: "You have also seen the illegal salt case three years ago. Your prince has already been disabled in both legs and eyes, and poses no threat to others, but he was still framed by the evil people."
