Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong held their breaths on the side, waiting nervously for Sun Sheng's words. Sun Sheng was a great military strategist with keen insight. It was just a trick to see through them. But they didn't know why he
I glanced this way several times, but didn't say anything.
"If that's the case, then I won't stop His Highness the Crown Prince. It's just that it's quiet at night and it's better to be careful. It's better to send a small team to follow His Highness the Crown Prince! If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility!"
After Sun Sheng glanced at Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong for a few times, he said to Meng Zhiqing.
Meng Zhiqing originally thought about not wanting Sun Sheng's concern. He was just about to say no, but suddenly the clothes on the back were gently tugged by Xia Ziying. He immediately swallowed what he was about to say and changed his words: "Then
Well, since it is Marshal Sun’s sincerity, I will accept it, thank you very much!”
After Sun Sheng bowed in return, he said to the guarding officers and soldiers: "Cheng Gang, go and bring a team of troops to protect His Highness the Crown Prince out of the city. Remember, you must bring the Crown Prince back intact, otherwise I will not let you go.
"
Cheng Gang immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely protect His Highness the Crown Prince and bring him back intact. Marshal, please rest assured."
"Okay, quickly gather the troops, open the city gate, and follow the prince out!" Sun Sheng ordered.
Cheng Gang immediately gathered his troops and ordered the soldiers to open the gate of the palace. Then he got on his horse and was about to walk out. Suddenly, Sun Sheng walked up to Meng Zhiqing and glanced behind him.
The man said: "Prince, I really didn't expect that the bodyguard you take with you is so handsome. It's really enviable."
Meng Zhiqing was suddenly startled, thinking that Sun Sheng had discovered something, so he immediately laughed and said: "Haha, if the marshal likes it, I will personally select a few guards and give them to the marshal someday. These guards are palace maids and eunuchs, my master's East Palace
There are many, so if the marshal wants anything, he can just take his pick."
Sun Sheng smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I am a rude man. How could I bear to let those tender-skinned people get hurt? I should continue to keep the prince. I just looked and asked.
.It’s just that, Prince, you are still young and some things need to be considered carefully. Don’t be deceived by some people and make you emotional. People are not grass and trees. Who can be ruthless? But you still need to consider the feelings of other people.
.”
Meng Zhiqing seemed to have heard something in Sun Sheng's words. At this moment, Cheng Gang had someone open the city gate, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Highness, the city gate has been opened, and the troops have been assembled. We have
It’s time to go.”
"Well, let's go." Meng Zhiqing said to Cheng Gang, then bowed lightly to Sun Sheng, then raised the whip in his hand and whipped the horse hard, causing the horse to feel pain immediately.
He flew towards the front.
The remaining people followed closely behind, and everyone got on their horses and galloped away, heading towards the legendary "Nuwa Temple". When they arrived outside the city, Cheng Gang saw something strange, as if
The Nuwa Temple is in the south of the city, but seeing Meng Zhiqing riding his horse towards the east at a very fast speed, I am also a person who often practices on horseback, and I feel a little bit of difficulty, so I try hard
After catching up with Meng Zhiqing, he suddenly tightened the reins and the horse's front hooves suddenly left the ground and blocked it in front of Meng Zhiqing.
Meng Zhiqing was still galloping, but when he was forced into such a stall, he almost fell off the horse.
Suddenly angry, Meng Zhiqing grabbed the horse and shouted at Cheng Gang: "Cheng Gang, what are you doing?"
Cheng Gang didn't mean to offend. He leaned slightly and said, "Your Highness, the Nuwa Temple is in the south of the city. Why are you heading eastward?"
"How dare you. Wherever I want to go, it's your turn to take command here. If you don't want to, you can take your people back to the palace. I don't need your protection." Meng Zhiqing was obviously a little angry.
"That's not what I mean. It's just that we are far away from Kyoto now. If we continue, something may happen. Please be careful, Your Highness." Cheng Gang said, clasping his fists.
Mu Lianlong and Xia Ziying looked at each other. After all, they had escaped now, and the rest was up to them. As long as they could escape to the border, there would be no problems.
Thinking of this, Mu Lianlong winked at Xia Ziying and asked Xia Ziying to explain to Meng Zhiqing that it was time to break up.
Xia Ziying walked gently to Meng Zhiqing's side and gently pulled the corner of Meng Zhiqing's clothes. Meng Zhiqing looked at her eyes and understood. After dismounting, she said to Cheng Gang: "You guys wait here for a moment. I
Young Master, come as soon as you go."
After coming to the side with Xia Ziying, Cheng Gang looked at the two people in tandem, and why they were holding up a little strangely. Looking at the two people, it didn't look like a master-servant relationship at all, but rather as if His Highness the Crown Prince was very obedient.
Let others lead you away.
Meng Zhiqing looked at Xia Ziying, and before she could speak, he spoke first: "Is it just me who was sent here?"
Xia Ziying nodded silently, "The prince is a good person and a real man. Wan Rong is not worthy of you. If there is an afterlife, Wan Rong will definitely choose you, young master, and live with you well."
Meng Zhiqing got this sentence and immediately understood that the time for them to break up had arrived, so he said, "I... It's really difficult to separate from you, so let me spend more time with you, and treat it as our final farewell."
To be honest, I, Meng Zhiqing, have never had anyone else in my heart. My father always selected beautiful women from all over the world to send to my East Palace, but it was boring. It wasn’t until I met you that I felt like a living person.
You are a person who has feelings and goals, and is no longer a living prince. Maybe you think it is difficult for me to shoulder the important responsibility of a country, but I am serious. In my heart, you will always be with me.
They are all the most important part of me. No matter what time it is, the door of my country of Meng will always be open for you. As long as you are wronged or think of me, you can come and see me."
The corner of Xia Ziying's mouth moved slightly, but nothing came out when she wanted to say something. In the end, she just nodded. Meng Zhiqing looked at the woman he once loved and was about to leave him. He suddenly had mixed feelings, facing Xia Ziying
He said: "Before I leave, I have a request. I hope you can agree to it!"
Xia Ziying looked at him and asked: "What's your request? As long as I can fulfill it, I will definitely agree to it."
"I want to... kiss your eyes." Meng Zhiqing said hesitantly.
Xia Ziying looked in that direction. Mu Lianlong and the soldiers were all looking that way, and she saw the two of them whispering there, not knowing what they were talking about.
Seeing Xia Ziying's embarrassed look, Meng Zhiqing was too embarrassed to say anything, so he said: "If it's embarrassing, forget it." Xia Ziying hesitated, "Well, I don't have anything to leave you with memories, just treat this as parting.
The last gift!" After saying that, he gently closed his eyes and waited for Meng Zhiqing to kiss him.
While Meng Zhiqing was pleasantly surprised, he was also very nervous. He looked at Xia Ziying in front of him and slowly moved closer. Because the sky was dark, others could not see this simple and intimate gesture.
Xia Ziying just felt Meng Zhiqing's thin lips, lightly touching her eyelashes, and then quickly stepped back. She dared to do so because she was shy, and Xia Ziying couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh.
"Thank you for your last gift. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, you can leave." Meng Zhiqing said a little sadly.
Xia Ziying looked at him, nodded, and slowly walked in the direction of the team.
When Mu Lianlong saw them coming back, he walked forward and saw that both of them felt a little unnatural, but he had been watching from the side and only saw that the two of them were relatively close and did not do anything.
I feel reassured in my heart.
Meng Zhiqing said to Cheng Gang: "You take the team and wait for me at the Nuwa Temple in front. I will arrive soon."
Cheng Gang was stunned, what kind of order was this? The marshal told them to protect the prince. If anything went wrong, his head would fall to the ground, so it was better to be careful.
"Your Highness, I have been ordered to protect the prince. I must not leave even half a step. Please forgive me." Cheng Gang's attitude was very firm. Meng Zhiqing couldn't even say parting words to Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong, but he suddenly couldn't.
Waving his hands, he said to Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong: "Since you want to follow me, then you two can buy some candles and paper from the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city. Go back as soon as possible."
Cheng Gang was stunned. Meng Zhiqing saw his expression and continued: "It is said that the candle mounting paper from the Chenghuang Temple is taken to the Nuwa Temple to show sincerity. General, there is no need to make a fuss."
After that, he said to Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong: "Come on, I'm still waiting to use you! Don't waste time." Before leaving, he put a token in Xia Ziying's hand while they were not paying attention.
Xia Ziying was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant. She took the token and was about to leave. Suddenly, several shadows flashed in the black night sky, slowly running towards them.
After Cheng Gang noticed it, he immediately ordered: "Be careful, there is a sneak attack, protect the prince."
After saying that, they quickly rushed to Meng Zhiqing's side. After Xia Ziying and Mu Lianlong saw the black shadow, they quickly approached the protective circle formed by Cheng Gang. Then they saw dozens of black shadows swarming towards them.
, surrounded them in a blink of an eye, and surrounded them.
