King Rong led his people to leave the capital and set off all the way north.
After running for most of the day, he rested on the roadside with the subordinates and guards he had brought out.
"Why did the prince quarrel with the princess again today, and the quarrel was so fierce? The princess is pregnant with Liujia now." said this loyal subordinate named Zhou Xi.
"If it weren't for the influence of the Zheng family in the army, I would not have married such a woman even if I was blind!" King Rong immediately cursed.
Before going out, he had another big argument with his princess.
No matter what, it was just because his new favorite concubine was sent away after her face was cut by that vicious woman.
King Rong had only had the concubine in his hands for half a month, and the novelty had not worn off yet!
You can imagine how angry he was when something like this happened!
Zhou Xi advised: "The prince and the princess should get along well. From now on, there will be a lot of reliance on the Zheng family, and it is also because of the Zheng family's in-laws that the prince's reputation in the court has not been affected.
Prince, press it down."
Rong Wangxin said that if he hadn't seen the Zheng family as a powerful family, he would have killed that evil woman long ago!
I don’t want to say anything more about that terrible poisonous woman.
Seeing this, Zhou Xi asked about the purpose of this trip and whispered: "Your Majesty, is the news outside true? Is the discovery really a gold mine?"
"Of course, it was Master Ming who dared to report it to me after several inspections. However, the matter is serious and I can only make this trip in person." King Rong said, patting him.
He shouldered his shoulder and said, "If you complete this errand, I will definitely remember you for your credit!"
"My lord, my subordinate wants to go to the Household Department to run errands for the prince." Zhou Xi said.
King Rong smiled and said, "You have a big appetite, but it's not easy to get into the household department. You have to take your time and wait until there is a chance. We will talk about it then."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Xi said respectfully: "It is my lifelong honor to be with Your Majesty. I will devote myself to Your Majesty until the day I die!"
Prince Rong said, "I know your loyalty to Xu Lin."
While chatting like this, Xu Lin, the guard he mentioned, cooked the barbecue and brought it over.
After eating barbecue and resting for a while, the group continued to set off.
The speed is very fast when the horse is riding fast.
However, when the group of them arrived at this canyon area, the guard Xu Lin, who was familiar with the terrain, quickly called a halt.
"Your Majesty, let's change the road!" Xu Lin looked at the canyon in front of him and said with a frown.
King Rong was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are afraid that there will be an ambush in this canyon, so we'd better find another way!" Xu Lin, as his confidant, said solemnly.
"Xu Lin, what do you mean by this? How could there be an ambush in this canyon? Our departure was suddenly decided with no plan at all. Did anyone know in advance that they would be here to guard us?" Zhou Xi immediately scolded.
King Rong looked at Xu Lin, "Yes, I only informed you of this matter in advance. Unless one of you or Zhou Xi is a spy, our trip will never be leaked, but both of you are working with me."
Those who grew up together have been with me since I was ten years old. I can trust you!"
"Thank you, Lord Mingjian!" Zhou Xi clasped his fists and said, "But Xu Lin's worries are not unreasonable. Otherwise, should we turn around and change the road? But if we change the road now, we are afraid that we will not be able to reach the inn tonight.
Spent the night outdoors."
King Rong waved his hand, "No need to change the road, just take this one!"
The man named Xu Lin was still a little worried, "How about I ask my subordinates to go in and investigate first?"
King Rong did not refuse. When Xu Lin saw this, he rode into the canyon. He looked around all around and found nothing suspicious before he turned his horse and came out.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual in the canyon, but my subordinates still suggest that it would be better for us to take another route!" Xu Lin said based on his intuition over many years.
"No need!" King Rong gave the order and rushed in directly.
"Follow me quickly!" Zhou Xi glanced at Xu Lin and shouted at the other guards.
So a group of people entered this canyon in a mighty manner.
There was nothing unusual at first, but when we walked to the middle of the canyon, arrows from all directions burst out like a rain of arrows!
"No, there's an ambush!" Xu Lin shouted.
King Rong's expression also changed drastically. He didn't expect that there was actually an ambush here!
While knocking down the arrows, he shouted angrily: "What's going on? Why are there so many archers ambushing here!"
There were too many arrows, and soon some of the guards were shot alive!
Prince Rong's face was extremely gloomy, but at this time a guard reminded him: "Your Majesty, look at Zhou Xi!"
As soon as King Rong turned around, he saw Zhou Xi hiding outside the area surrounded by arrows and looking at them with a sneer!
"Zhou Xi, you betrayed me? Why!" King Rong couldn't believe it.
Because he was distracted, he almost got hit by an arrow, but Xu Lin chopped off the arrow and said, "My lord, be careful!"
"Zhou Xi, why did you betray me and who did you turn to?" King Rong said sharply.
Zhou Xi scoffed: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I have not taken refuge with anyone. I just simply want your life, Your Majesty!"
"I treat you well..."
"Shut up!" A ferocious look appeared on Zhou Xi's face, "I, Zhou Xi, have been by your side for so many years, and I have always been worried about you. Whatever you tell me, no matter how difficult or painful it is, I will definitely do it.
Try your best to complete it! Even if you risk your life, you will not hesitate, but how do you do it?!"
He asked sternly: "I went out to work hard for you, and you went to sleep with my wife! Not only did you commit adultery, but you even gave birth to an evil child. I thought it was my child, and I worked so hard for you! As a result, I
What a joke, what a big joke! Now you still dare to say that you treat me well? Is this how you, the King of Honor, treat your subordinates well?"
King Rong has been escorted by a group of guards to hide behind the boulder. No one else can be seen, only his angry voice can be heard, "So this king's plans are often leaked, and it's all your fault?"
"It's just a pity that I didn't kill you!" Zhou Xi did not deny it, but said coldly.
Prince Rong said: "I really can't help you with this matter. I also admit that I can't control it. But it's just a woman. You don't have much, so how can you..."
"I have nothing to say to a beast like you!" Zhou Xi didn't want to talk nonsense to him at all, and said to the men in black who were shooting arrows: "What are you still doing? Why don't you kill King Rong quickly, or something will happen if you wait too long!
"
The masked manager Zhao didn't waste any time and ordered: "Whoever takes the head of the King of Honor will be rewarded heavily!"
"kill!"
A group of killers didn't hesitate, jumped down from the stone wall and came to kill with their swords.
