After finishing writing what he wanted to say, Agui suddenly left the place where they were standing and swam to the side. The sound he made while crawling attracted the attention of the secret guards, who all crawled towards Agui's place.
As early as Agui made a move, Zhaohui firmly covered Hongli's mouth to prevent him from making any sound, and covered Hongli with his body. He waited until Agui was caught by the secret guards and taken to the top of the mountain.
, and the secret guards were not allowed to move away gradually, and they were released only after the silence on the top of the mountain returned to no one.
"What are you doing?" Hongli glared at Zhaohui angrily, wondering why he had to watch Agui being taken away.
Zhaohui looked at him coldly and said: "Fourth Brother, do you want to go back to the Forbidden City, do you want to expose the Second Brother's mask?"
Hongli glared at him and said, "Of course I do, but so what?"
"If Agui hadn't gone out just now, the three of us would have been discovered, and either we would have died or fallen into the hands of the second elder brother. How would you have exposed the second elder brother and entered the palace?" Zhaohui's series of questions made Hongli angry.
Unable to answer, after taking a breath, he added: "Agui just wrote something on the palm of my hand. He said that he would lead the pursuers away, and then we would find a way to escape quickly. The pursuers have already left, let's go down the mountain quickly.
.”
As early as when Agui went out, Hongli knew his intention. He was able to escape from Fuzhou because Agui and Zhaohui had been following him and never left him. Now in order to protect himself, Agui was
How could he feel at ease if Hongshi's people arrested him.
Seeing Hongli standing there motionless, Zhaohui saw through his thoughts and sighed: "I know Brother Si is worried about Agui, and I am not, but the matter has come to this, there is no use worrying anymore, what we have to do is to hurry up
Leave here and find a safe place to stay, so as not to let down Agui’s hard work.”
"I know." After answering this sentence, Hongli gritted his teeth and climbed down the mountain leaning on the protruding rocks. After all this hard work, he and Zhaohui were both tired and thirsty. They found a small stream and ignored it.
After feeling the cold, he drank a lot, and then walked towards the city gate again under the cover of night.
At this time, the city gate was still closed, and they did not show up after the daytime incident, but hid aside and waited for the city gate to open.
Finally, it was dawn until the city gate opened. When he was about to go in, he found a few suspicious-looking people wandering around near the city gate. They should be the same people as yesterday, who were sent by Hongshi. If they went out
, even if they surrendered, they would not be able to enter the city gate without going out. In desperation, they could only leave temporarily, and for several days afterwards, Hongli found someone guarding the city gate, preventing them from entering the city.
Damn it, if he couldn't enter the city, how could he go to Uncle Thirteen for help, and how could he save Agui? He didn't know how Agui was doing now.
After discovering that Desheng Gate was inaccessible, Hongli tried many more places without giving up, but found that someone was secretly ambushing him. Without exception, he did not expect Hongshi to be so cautious in his work without leaving even a single flaw.
Not to mention that Hongli was worried about entering the city. After Agui was arrested that night, he was imprisoned in the dungeon of Yingge's house, tortured and interrogated about Hongli's whereabouts. But no matter how they interrogated,
Agui has always gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.
Hongli's matter has always been a thorn in Hongshi's heart. Only after Hongli died could he truly be the settled prince with peace of mind, so he vowed to win Hongli's life.
After discussing with Yingge, he personally came to the dungeon. After seeing Agui lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, he turned around and scolded the servants standing aside, "Hurry up and help me up."
When the servants helped Agui sit down in a chair nearby, Agui also recognized Hongshi and said with a swollen corner of his mouth: "Hongshi, it is indeed you, you despicable and shameless villain!"
Regarding his insults, Hongshi said nonchalantly: "Brother Ben is kind enough to come see you, but you just open your mouth and curse. What's the point of this?"
Agui shouted angrily: "You don't have to pretend to be compassionate like a cat crying like a mouse. You didn't kill the fourth elder brother when you were in Fuzhou, so you sent people to intercept him at the city gate. You didn't want the fourth elder brother to see the emperor, so as to avoid the evil you did in Fuzhou."
Things are exposed.”
Hongshi smiled and said: "Not to mention these, Agui, in fact you have known Hongli not long ago, why would you sacrifice your life for him like this, even risking your own life?"
"Because the fourth elder brother will not be double-dealing like you. You don't have to do unnecessary things. I will never betray the fourth elder brother. Maybe the fourth elder brother has already seen the emperor now and is telling the emperor about the evil things you have done.
"
His words made Hongshi's cheeks twitch. After a while, he stopped and said: "If you think this way, you are wrong. I can assure you that Hongli will never have the chance to see Huang Ama. No, it should be said that he is not even a member of the capital."
You can't even get through the city gate."
Agui's face changed and he said in shock: "You...you still send people to guard the city gate?"
Hongshi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, I made a mistake last time in Fuzhou, so how can I make it a second time? As long as I don't see Hongli's body with my own eyes, the secret guards at the city gate will not do it again."
Removed, so in a way, it doesn’t matter whether you tell Hongli’s whereabouts or not. But I know that Agui, you are very skilled. If you go to the battlefield in the future, you will definitely
Yes, you are a fierce general. I have some pity for your talent and want to give you a way out. Agui, as long as you can help me catch Hongli, I will let you go immediately. Not only that, I will also promise you
Enjoy endless glory and wealth. As the saying goes, if you don't do something for yourself, heaven will destroy you, so why should you, Agui, harm yourself...and your family for the sake of an unrelated person."
Faced with his words to win over, Agui didn't want to pay attention to it, but when the word "family" fell into her ears, she could no longer ignore it. She stared at Hongshi and said, "If I don't agree, what will you do?"
Hongshi's smile did not change and he said: "Can't you imagine what will happen to me? I am determined to win Hongli, but Agui, you must think clearly whether you really have to sacrifice everything for Hongli."
"It's absolutely true that you are despicable!" Agui's teeth were itching with hatred, and she wished she could pounce on Hongshi and bite off a piece of flesh from Hongshi's body. Unfortunately, there was someone next to him who was holding him tightly, preventing him from moving at all.
Hongshi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just said: "Okay, don't say any more unnecessary words. I'll give you time to think about it carefully."
Agui sat there, his mind spinning. He knew that with Hongshi's despicable temperament, he could do anything. If he died, he would die, but if he implicated his family's mother, they would be innocent.
How could I endure the disaster? But if he wanted to save his family, he vowed to betray Hongli. This... was this what a man would do? For a while, he struggled in his heart.
