Chapter 689 Praying Mantis, Oriole and Hunter

The general was dead, and the remaining soldiers fled.

Qin Mo took advantage of the chaos and captured a lot of 'miners', and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there are almost enough miners in the northwest coal mine."

Those who dig coal in the northwest are mainly Beichi prisoners. Last year, Beichi was very "honest" and the manpower was a little tight.

"Just catch enough, don't chase the others too closely." Once you've been beaten to death with this stick, you won't have to play anymore.

Tonight, the Tangquan Palace was a bit stuffy. The third prince sat on the pavilion on the rockery, watching the moon being gradually swallowed up by thick clouds, and there was no trace of light in the dark sky.

From the day Si Tang was demoted to a commoner, the third prince had people watching his every move. A few months ago, there were reports of informants, and the fifth prince bribed most of the Imperial Guards, waiting for an opportunity to force a confession to seize the throne.

After receiving this good news, the third prince also immediately took action and quickly mobilized troops from Yuanzhou. He was just waiting for the fifth prince to "mantis stalk the cicada" so that he could continue to perform "the oriole behind". He took advantage of the chaos to deal with the prince first.

As a hero who killed the rebellious ministers and traitors, he was not only justified in being appointed as the crown prince, but also his reputation would last through the ages.

The Third Prince's plan was quite good, but it was a pity that Si Tang was useless. Not to mention making waves, he didn't even make waves.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor blocked the news in the palace, and the third prince's spies could not find out anything. Only the news of martial law in the palace came back. The third prince was even more sure that something big had happened in the palace. He was afraid that Si Tang would take the throne after receiving the Supreme Emperor's edict.

, and quickly ordered private soldiers to rescue the Supreme Emperor from the fire and water.

The third prince lowered his eyes slightly and leaned on the back of the wheelchair. Suddenly he smelled the strong smell of blood and suddenly opened his eyes - he saw the deputy general of the army stumbling over, with drops of blood falling from his armor.

Bloody flowers were smashed on the blue bricks.

"Your Highness Prince Ping." The deputy general said on the ground, "Our army encountered an ambush five miles north of the imperial capital. The opponent's leader was Prince Yun. Most of our soldiers were lost, and the general finally led 30,000 soldiers to fight through the encirclement and barely escaped...

…”

"What did you say?" The third prince felt his vision go dark and almost fainted - out of the 70,000 horses he had painstakingly raised, only 30,000 were left before they reached the imperial capital! "A bunch of trash!"

In order for Si Tang to control Prince Yun, he made eighteen turns and delivered the 'bone-eroding incense' carefully prepared by the poison master to Si Tang. He didn't expect that he would be so useless, even such a key figure

Not dealt with.

"Your Highness, Prince Ping, the top priority right now is to evacuate immediately. If Prince Yun and his men come after us, we won't be able to leave!" The deputy general did not dare to raise his head at all.

The third prince then thought that his private soldiers not only failed to control the imperial capital, but also fought against Prince Yun: "Are those 40,000 people dead?"

"No." The deputy general shook his head quickly, "In addition to those killed and seriously injured, there are also many prisoners..."

"Damn it." The third prince was really panicked now and hurriedly summoned his staff to discuss the matter.

After half an hour of arguing, before dawn, the third prince, his mother, the princess and the remaining soldiers took Emperor Danxu and Queen Chen hostage and fled towards Yuanzhou.

Emperor Danxu was sleeping deeply when he was dragged and pushed into the carriage. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw the queen was also in the carriage. She hit her forehead somewhere and had a bulging green bump.

.

Emperor Danxu took a deep breath and called out to Long Wei, but no one answered.

Emperor Danxu shook his head vigorously, and as soon as he moved the car to the door, Zhang Jinliang was thrown into the car and was thrown on his back.

"Ouch..." Zhang Jinliang saw the bright yellow pajamas under him and immediately got up, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... this old slave deserves death..."

Zhang Jinliang was so powerful that Emperor Danxu was almost sent away. After a while, he calmly said, "What's going on?"

Zhang Jinliang briefly explained how the third prince planned to send private troops to capture the imperial capital, but was beaten to a pulp by Prince Yun. Then he lowered his voice a little lower: "I just found out that Prince Ping wanted to kidnap you and the Queen.

Go to Yuanzhou..."

"You traitor!" Emperor Danxu stood up and kicked the carriage door.

But the door was so strong that it didn't move at all. Emperor Danxu opened the window again and found that the carriage was a closed prison carriage. Not only was the carriage unusually heavy, but a thick iron bar was nailed to the window.

Emperor Danxu was about to be furious. He was the king of a country, but he was imprisoned in a "prison car". It was a great shame and humiliation.

"Uh..." Emperor Danxu suddenly covered his chest. The sharp pain almost made him lose his breath.

"Your Majesty... you... are you suffering from a heart attack?" Zhang Jinliang quickly helped Emperor Danxu sit down and kept rubbing his chest.

With trembling hands, Emperor Danxu took out a medicine bottle from the inner pocket of his pajamas, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

Emperor Danxu took the elixir, and the pain in his chest dissipated a little. There was a resentful sound of shaking silver bells outside, and the pain that had just subsided a little came back, even worse than before.

"Ah..." Emperor Danxu screamed, successfully waking up Empress Chen who had been knocked unconscious.

Before Empress Chen had time to ask about the situation, she saw the third prince riding in a carriage, waiting at the side of the carriage, holding a string of silver bells in his hand, looking at them with a half-smile through the iron bars.

Emperor Danxu was so painful that his whole body was tense. He discovered keenly that the faster the sound of the silver bell rang, the more pain he felt: "Stop...stop..."

The third prince was very cooperative and stopped ringing the bell immediately. Emperor Danxu noticed that the pain in his chest gradually disappeared. When he looked at the third prince again, there was a hint of fear in his resentment.

"Father, there is no need to look at me like this. As long as you are willing to follow me to Yuanzhou, I will stop ringing this bell." The third prince is well versed in the art of 'taming'. I am afraid that his father will need to be tamed well.

OK.

Emperor Danxu tried his best to look calm and normal, lowered his eyebrows and said: "I will go to Yuanzhou with you..."

Emperor Danxu stretched out his hand from between the iron bars, as if he wanted to high-five the third prince.

The third prince stretched out his hand nonchalantly, but what happened happened in just a moment. Just when their hands were about to hit each other, Emperor Danxu suddenly went to grab the silver bell in the third prince's hand.

The third prince did not expect that Dan Xu's strength would be so great. He was dragged towards the carriage and his face hit the iron bars of the window.

The third prince did not remain in a stalemate for long before he let go of the silver bell in his hand. Emperor Danxu was overjoyed. If conditions had not allowed him to do so, he would have melted the bell.

Emperor Danxu hadn't laughed for long when he heard the sound of the ringing bell again. The pain in his chest was sharper than ever before.

"My father originally wanted these silver bells. You told me earlier..." The third prince fumbled around in his sleeve pocket and took out a dozen or so silver bells, "I want many more here..."

"Pfft..." Emperor Danxu was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Against his pale complexion, he looked like a tuberculosis ghost.
