"I have promised you, what else do you have to believe?" Hongshi was eager to get rid of the steel knife around his neck and wanted to use words to persuade Hongli to let down his guard. However, Hongli had experienced so many things, how could he believe it again?
No matter how much he talked, he just turned a deaf ear and waited quietly for Wang Zhong to bring Agui.
This place is quite far away from Prince Ding's Mansion in the capital. Although Wang Zhong worked hard, it took him two hours to bring Agui.
When Agui stood in front of Hongli and the other two people, they could hardly recognize that this person was Agui. Not a single part of his body was intact, and his flesh and bones were as good as wood. He was not as strong as before.
Agui's tragic situation shocked Hongli and Zhaohui. Zhaohui could hardly hold the steel knife in his hand. Fortunately, he kept his mind in time and did not let Hongshi and the secret guards find an opportunity to take advantage of them. After Hongli helped him
After staying at Agui, he said sternly: "Go and prepare two fast horses for us now, and then prepare a thousand taels of unmarked silver."
Wang Zhong did not dare to neglect, and prepared everything according to his instructions. Then Zhaohui took Hongshi hostage and left the dungeon, and forced him to get on his horse.
Hongshi refused to get on his horse and said, "I've already sent people to prepare the people and things you want. Why are you holding me hostage?"
"If we let you go, I'm afraid we will be shot to death by random arrows as soon as we get on our horses, so we can only wrong you, second brother, for a while. Get up!" After everyone got on their horses, Zhaohui said to Wang Zhong who was standing there.
The secret guard said: "Once I find out that you are following you secretly, I will kill your master immediately."
Wang Zhong was not willing to comply, and said: "But what will you do if you don't let the prince go?"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." After saying this, Zhaohui held a knife in one hand and a rein in the other, and galloped forward. Hongli and Agui followed closely on a group of horses, and soon they were far away from Wang Zhong and others.
human sight.
Wang Zhong was so anxious that he turned around and said to the leader of the secret guard: "What should we do?"
The leader of the secret guard thought for a moment and asked for several horses. He mounted the horse with several secret guards and said: "The only way to go now is to follow them from a distance and then wait for an opportunity to save people. If they really want to be detrimental to the prince,
Even if we take another risk, we still have to take action to rescue the prince."
Moreover, Hongli and others took Hongshi hostage and ran wildly, looking back from time to time while running. Although they did not see the pursuers, Hongli still felt uneasy and said: "Zhaohui, I suspect that those secret guards have been following you.
In the end, it was only because they were well versed in concealment that we failed to discover it. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to us."
"Now that you know it, let me go quickly, otherwise all of you will die...ah!" As soon as Hongshi said this, Zhaohui slashed his neck with a knife. He could not kill him, but he suffered severe pain from his flesh and skin.
Hongshi felt itching with hatred. Damn it, Zhao Hui had better not fall into his hands, otherwise he would be unable to survive or die.
Zhaohui slowed down his running speed and said, "It seems that what I just said failed to scare them. If we really kill him, I'm afraid those secret guards will rob and kill us at all costs."
"Then what should we do now?" In their original plan, they had no intention of letting Hongshi go back, but now they had to think carefully.
Zhaohui glanced at Hongli and said solemnly: "Fourth elder brother, can you not kill the second elder brother for the time being?"
"Don't kill him?" Hongli stared at Hongshi, whose neck was covered in blood, with hatred in his eyes. This man had tried to kill him again and again, and now he couldn't even enter the capital. He wanted to eat his flesh.
Drink his blood. And this time, in addition to saving Agui, he also wants to kill Hongshi.
"Yes, as long as you don't kill him, I have a way to get rid of those secret guards." Zhaohui's words puzzled Hongli. At this time, Agui reluctantly said: "Don't let him go, otherwise Brother Si will be killed by him sooner or later.
It’s better to kill him now than to kill him.”
"Agui, please stop talking." After saying this, Hongli said cruelly: "Zhaohui, I promise you not to kill Hongshi. If you have any other ideas, please tell me immediately."
He can die together with Hongshi, but he must not involve the two good brothers who have fought for him through life and death, let alone let them die. As for Hongshi, he believes that there will be a chance to kill him in the future.
"Okay!" After Zhaohui agreed, he suddenly galloped on his horse until he reached the top of a hill. After pushing Hongshi off the horse and watching him roll down the hill, he shouted loudly.
: "Go quickly!"
It is impossible to get rid of those secret guards, but if Hongshi is handed over to them, it will only make himself more dangerous, so the only way is to put Hongshi in a dangerous place, so that the secret guards are too busy rescuing people to care.
They, but this is also dangerous. If many secret guards come and a group of people chase them, they will also be in danger. And this depends on their luck.
Facts have proved that they were really lucky. There were not many secret guards. After seeing that Hongshi was in danger, they gave up the pursuit of Hongli and went to rescue Hongshi. After they rescued Hongshi, they wanted to pursue Hongli again.
By that time, it had completely disappeared.
Hongli and others ran wildly for more than a hundred miles, and after making sure that no one was following them, they slowed down the horses that were already breathing white from exhaustion. Zhaohui looked around at the slightly desolate surroundings and said: "We have to
Find a place to stay before dark, and it’s best to find a doctor to treat Agui’s injuries.”
Agui endured the pain and complained: "Zhaohui, why did you let the second elder brother go just now? He will definitely find a way to kill the fourth elder brother when he returns."
Before Zhaohui could say anything, Hongli already said: "Agui, don't blame Zhaohui. This was my idea and has nothing to do with him. Besides the situation at that time, if Hongshi was not released, the rest of us would be betrayed by those secret agents.
If Wei is killed, I will also die, and it will also involve you two."
"We..." As soon as Agui said two words, he was interrupted by Hongli: "Listen to me first." He paused and said: "I know you want to say that you two will protect me.
I ran away, but you two have already paid enough for me. I don’t want you two to die because of me. Even if I return to the palace and become the fourth elder brother again, I will not be able to feel at ease in my life. At this time, for me
For us, your two lives are the most important."
Hongli's words moved Agui, but he was also worried, "But...but what should we do now? We can't go back to the capital, and Hongshi has sent people everywhere to search for us. Are we just going to hide here and there?"
?When did this end? If you ask me, you should have forced Hongshi to take you to Beijing, then everything would have been solved."
Zhaohui shook his head and said: "You think too simply. If we really make such a request, even if we kill Hongshi, he will not agree. Because once the fourth elder brother is allowed to see the emperor, the second elder brother will be finished.
, based on the crime he committed, even if he does not die, he will be imprisoned in the clan mansion for the rest of his life."
