No one can answer his question. Now that the trace of the escaped man has been lost, it is impossible to catch him back. He can only focus on the lonely mountain in front of him!
Liu Hu hid in the dark and stared at the clusters of torches below, gnashing his teeth with hatred. Ever since he was selected as the imperial guard and went on errands for the emperor, when had he been in such a mess?
Stop here, otherwise we will lead people to destroy these thieves!
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Xianyue's worried voice woke Liu Hu up. Remembering that Hongli had been beaten just now, he quickly tore off his clothes and bandaged the wound on Hongli's left shoulder. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please bear with me any longer."
Forbearance, my subordinates will definitely think of a way to protect you from leaving!"
Taking advantage of the faint light in the sky, Xianyue saw Hongli's face turning pale due to pain, and said with tears: "It's all my concubine's fault that has brought trouble to the emperor."
Hongli endured the pain and said: "There is no need to mention the word "involvement" between you and me. If I can't even protect my wife, how can I have the face to be the king of this country?!" After that, he said to Liu Hu: "
Those people are so heavily guarded that it is impossible for us to leave together..."
Liu Hu said eagerly: "No, my subordinates will definitely think of a way to prevent anything from happening to you."
"Listen to me." Hongli took a breath and said, "The only way now is to send someone to the palace to tell Lao Wu about this and let him lead troops to rescue him; Liu Hu, everyone
Among them, you have the highest martial arts skills and are the only one who was not injured. Before dawn, you managed to avoid those people and went down the mountain to report the news." Hongli still didn't know that someone faked his death and escaped to report the news, so he pinned his hope on Liu Hu.
Liu Hu shook his head without thinking and said: "The emperor and the empress are in danger, how can I leave alone? As for returning to the palace to report the news, I will choose a suitable person..."
Hongli raised his uninjured hand, pointed at the remaining five people and said: "Look at them, every one of them is injured. Even if they were allowed to escape down the mountain, they would have passed out on the road from exhaustion before they even reached the palace.
You are the only one who still has some strength left, but you can bear the heavy burden."
Liu Hu knew that Hongli was telling the truth, but it was really difficult for him to leave Hongli and the two of them alone. While hesitating, Xianyue said: "I know that Commander Liu is loyal to the emperor."
, I will definitely not abandon the monarch and escape alone, but right now, this is the only way."
"But once I leave, if those people find this place, you and the emperor will..." Before Liu Hu could finish, Xianyue shook her head and said: "If they really find you, even if you are here, as long as
It is difficult for one person to change the situation."
"But..." When Liu Hu was about to say more, Hongli said solemnly: "This is the emperor's order. If you don't obey it, you are disobeying it!"
Seeing that Hongli had made up his mind, Liu Hu had no choice but to agree. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said in a dumb voice: "I will obey the emperor's will. Don't worry, I will rush back to the palace. Please come here with the prince and troops to rescue him."
drive!"
"Okay!" Hongli stared at him and said word by word: "My life and the queen's life are in your hands. I hope you won't let me down!"
Liu Hu didn't say anything more, he just nodded vigorously, and after kowtowing three times, he quietly walked down the mountain under the cover of trees while the sky was not yet completely bright.
Let's talk about the fact that the guards who had escaped earlier ran towards Hangzhou Mansion as soon as they were out of sight. The emperor and empress' lives were in danger at any time. He had to tell the prince about this as soon as possible and ask him to lead troops to escort him.
He ran around at night, and when he got outside the city gate, it was still dark, and the tall city gate was tightly closed. He had to wait for the Yin hour to open the city gate before he could enter.
The guard was afraid that someone was following him, so he didn't dare to shout loudly and found a secluded place to hide. As a result, he actually found someone chasing him. Fortunately, no trace of him was found, and he left after searching for a while.
When the morning sun broke through the clouds and shed its first ray of sunshine, the city gate slowly opened. As soon as the city gate opened, the guards immediately ran in. However, as soon as they entered, they were stopped by the city guards, "I have my life with the prince, and no one is allowed."
People go in and out of the city gate, who are you?"
The guard hurriedly said: "I am the prince's bodyguard. I have urgent matters to meet with the prince."
The city guard looked at him with some surprise. After seeing his clothes stained with blood, he looked wary and said: "You said you are the prince's bodyguard, do you have proof?"
The guard wanted to take out the waist badge from his arms, but after several fights, the waist badge had been lost. He had no choice but to say: "My waist badge is missing, but I am indeed the prince's bodyguard."
The city guard said coldly: "So, there is no basis and no evidence. It is just your empty words. How can people believe it?"
The guard said eagerly: "I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can take me to see the prince, and then you will be able to tell the truth."
"Who knows if you are a gangster who wants to do harm to the prince!" After saying that, the city guard raised his voice and said: "If someone comes, tie him up and take him to the government office first. I will make a decision after I go to see the prince."
Hearing this, the guard hurriedly said: "I really have something extremely important, and I can't delay it. Please make it easier for me."
The more anxious he showed, the more suspicious the city guard became. He took a step back and said again: "Tie him up immediately and take him away!"
Seeing that the few officials had already taken the rope, the guard was worried that the binding would miss the opportunity for Hongli and others to save their lives. Before the rope could reach him, he suddenly pushed those people away and ran away.
Those few people were caught off guard and were pushed to the ground. After they recovered their senses, they hurriedly chased after them. However, the guard ran extremely fast. In addition, he took a small path to escape, twisting and turning,
He actually lost track of the figure and had to return in dismay.
The guard finally got rid of the pursuit of the city guard. He held his hands on his knees and gasped for air. He could feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he could no longer exert any energy. His throat was so thirsty that smoke would have erupted. If not
Relying on his willpower, he could no longer hold on any longer. After regaining a little strength, he dragged his heavy footsteps and ran to the palace. As long as he saw Hong Zhou, the emperor and the empress would be saved.
By the time he arrived near the palace, it was already bright. He swallowed hard and walked towards the palace. After taking a few steps, a deep voice came from behind him, "Who is he? What are you doing here?"
The guard came back to his senses, and when he could see the person behind him clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Mr. Gao before."
Seeing that he recognized him, Gao Bin nodded slightly and said, "Who are you?"
The guard hurriedly said: "I am the bodyguard of the prince. I have urgent matters to report to the prince."
Gao Bin was slightly surprised and said: "I went to the palace just now, but I didn't see the prince."
"Oops!" The guard looked anxious, "Does Master Gao know where the prince has gone?"
