Under the moonlight, Daliang City stands. No matter how blown by the wind and sand, the tall ancient city walls still guard the creatures in the city like guards.
Its body is full of ancient atmosphere. After years of vicissitudes, the dark city wall that has been ravaged by war still glows with a permeating fierce light, like an ancient beast, like a sword that has not been completely unsheathed, which makes people stop. Gu Tingfang was surrounded by guards and came to the stables with determination.
Shi Yue explained: "Your Majesty, get on the horse, we will protect you from leaving even if we die."
Gu Tingfang looked at the horse in front of him. He looked back and took a deep look at Yilan Palace where Yin Luzhu lived.
Daliang City at night, without the hustle and bustle of the day, is as gorgeous as the lights like rain.
The clear brilliance under the moonlight and the beacon fire on the city wall illuminate the night.
He has climbed up to Daliang City, and standing on the city wall, he can see the mountains and rivers in the distance, which are the backbone of the earth and the source of life.
"Your Majesty?" Shi Yue saw that he was standing still, so he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice that they had been hiding all day long. If they don't leave now, how long will it take?
Come to think of it, Yin Luzhu hasn't discovered that Jun Shang has escaped, otherwise, she will definitely send people to chase her. She doesn't see any action at this moment, so she doesn't know yet.
Gu Tingfang withdrew her gaze and got on her horse.
With a gentle pinch to the horse's belly, the horse ran forward, leaving behind the sound of hooves.
Running on an unfamiliar road, countless sinister traces seem to be hidden in the dimly lit distance. The buildings and people around me are like phantoms, as if they will disappear into the darkness at any time.
"Your Majesty, after leaving Daliang City, ahead is Liangzhou. Yin Luzhu of Liangzhou has not yet officially taken over. Going further, you will reach Youzhou. Your Majesty, you can stay in Youzhou temporarily and ask King Hou Qin of Youzhou to escort you.
Kill the rebels."
Gu Tingfang's hand tightened on the reins.
He didn't speak either, but his handsome brows furrowed slightly.
Just when he was about to leave the boundaries of Daliang City, Gu Tingfang suddenly pulled the reins.
The horse neighed rapidly, but stopped steadily.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Shi Yue walked up and asked worriedly.
Gu Tingfang glanced back and frowned slightly, "She didn't catch up."
"Yin Luzhu is very conceited, thinking that the Lord will never leave the palace. Come to think of it, you still don't know."
Gu Tingfang lowered her eyebrows lightly, "She trusted Gu so much, but Gu ran away..."
Gu Tingfang's words were ordinary and suddenly stopped. At this moment, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
Shi Yue also looked at him complicatedly, so, what does your Majesty mean by this?
The conversation changed and Gu Tingfang said: "Let's go! Youzhou!"
At this moment, in Youzhou City and the Youzhou Marquis Mansion, Yin Luzhu was sitting on the main seat, his legs folded casually, one hand behind his head, looking calmly at being kneeled down by Li Feng and Yue Xuan.
The Marquis of Youzhou on earth, Ning Zangfeng.
When the Marquis of Youzhou was forty years old, he was no more than an ordinary citizen, but due to an accident, he saved the late emperor's life and obtained the official position of an imperial guard.
Later, he was injured and could no longer stay in front of the emperor.
Because of his life-saving grace, the late emperor gave him the fiefdom of Youzhou to spend his old age in peace.
Different from the devastated Liangzhou, although Youzhou is not big, it is a fertile land. Ning Zangfeng also cherished his life, taking in several concubines and many children.
He thought his life would pass like this, but who knew, someone would break into the city tonight.
