The black long knife turned into several ink-colored blades and struck at Chang Sen and the other three, killing them in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same time, Chang Sen rose into the air and launched three ghostly kicks. One kicked one person in the face, one kicked the second person's chest, and one kicked the third person's wrist.
Before the three ghost-faced warriors could react, one fainted to the ground, another flew backwards, and the other dropped his long sword and stood there in a daze, covering his broken wrist.
Seeing Chang Sen tap the flying knife with his toe, the long knife obediently turned around and flew towards Doctor Wu calmly.
Doctor Wu raised his hands, and the blade swiped across his wrist, and the finger-thick cowhide rope broke with the sound.
Doctor Wu regained his hands and took advantage of the situation to pick up the long knife and slashed twice, cutting off the ropes between Chang Sen and Huai En.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, and Li Fuchun and the others were stunned.
"It's really troublesome to not leave even if you say you won't leave." Wynn rubbed his wrists and complained, "You're causing pain to our family by tying me up."
"What are you staring at? Why don't you hurry up and get out?" Doctor Wu slashed his long knife and looked at the others.
After fleeing in embarrassment, the ghost-faced warriors had no fighting spirit at all. After seeing Chang Sen's performance as if a god descended from the earth, they had no courage to step forward anymore. They couldn't help but look at Li Fuchun...
Li Fuchun, a coward, had been scared to death for a long time, but he knew that if Emperor Jianwen left, he would be torn alive by Ji Gangsheng, so although he had ten thousand thoughts of running away, his calf never listened.
handle.
"Roll!" Doctor Wu threw the long knife out with a sound of cracking gold and stone. Li Fuchun had no time to dodge, and the long knife passed through his crotch and stuck diagonally on the ground. The blade trembled...
Li Fuchun's legs felt like chaff, and he suddenly felt a damp heat between his knees. He was so frightened that he shouted: "I'm hurt, I'm hurt."
Chang Sen and the other three laughed heartily, and even the expressionless ghost-faced warriors couldn't help but chuckle.
Li Jiuchun realized that something was wrong, reached out and touched his crotch, then brought it to his nose and asked. The smell was not fishy, but smelly... Only then did he realize that he was not injured at all, but scared to pee.
.
In the midst of laughter, Li Fangchun had no face to see anyone anymore, so he took this opportunity to get off the road. He grunted: "Let's go." He led his men and disappeared into the night.
The trees are low in the wild sky, and the clear moon on the river is close to the people.
In the wilderness, only Emperor Jianwen and his three loyal ministers were left for the time being. Emperor Jianwen sat cross-legged on the ground and turned a deaf ear to the arguments of the three ministers...
The three of them, Chang Sen, had great disagreements about the next step.
"Let's protect His Majesty while we can still escape." This is the idea of the old eunuch Wynn. "Go east along the river and you will meet someone who will help us."
"You go, I have to stay and pay the account." Dr. Wu was dressed in commoners and was very thin. The nonchalant expression on his face was as if he was talking about someone else's business. "I promised Wang Xian, it's not good to talk to my eldest nephew.
What a shame."
"If you really want to keep your word, I will knock you unconscious and resist leaving." Chang Sen said coldly. "They have no good intentions in helping us save the emperor. They just want to use us to kill Ji Gang."
"Of course it's not just to keep what he says, that brat has plotted against us to the core." Doctor Wu smiled bitterly and said: "He knows that I will not refuse to do this deal."
"You are stupid," Wynn scolded: "He wants to trade your life for glory and wealth."
"How many years do I have to live? I can use the remaining half of my life to exchange for the lives of Ji Gang and his family." Doctor Wu said with infinite hatred in his eyes: "Avenge the thousands of loyal ministers who were killed by him."
, it’s simply worth it”
After hearing what Dr. Wu said, Chang Sen and Huai En were speechless.
It was eerily quiet in the wilderness, with only the whine of the wind blowing across the field...
Doctor Wu smiled and was about to urge them to leave quickly when he saw a clay sculpture-like Emperor Jianwen standing up.
"Your Majesty..." The three of them looked at their emperor. Emperor Jianwen took two steps forward, slowly looked around, and said softly: "If I remember correctly, fourteen years ago, you protected me when I escaped from the capital.
Are you passing by here too? This river and these trees are all still the same..."
The three of them looked around when they heard this, but they couldn't remember whether they had walked this road fourteen years ago.
"Have we really walked here?" Wynn asked Doctor Wu in a low voice.
Doctor Wu rolled his eyes and said in a dull voice: "I didn't leave Beijing with you, how do I know?"
"It's not wrong," Emperor Jianwen said softly: "It was also this time that day, with such moonlight. The only difference is that there are seventy-two people around me..." He said and looked at Chang Sen and Doctor Wu.
With moist eyes, he said, "Of the seventy-two people at that time, how many are left now?"
"Your Majesty, there are still seven old brothers..." Wynn whispered.
Emperor Jianwen closed his eyes in pain and said slowly for a while: "Over the years, I have asked myself again and again whether my choice is brave or cowardly. In fact, I already have the answer in Pujiang County."
"Your Majesty," Chang Sen said excitedly: "You can persevere in order to restore the country, which is a great courage and perseverance."
"..." Emperor Jianwen slowly shook his head and said. "I'm sorry, General Chang, to disappoint you. My answer is exactly the opposite. My original choice was a cowardice and a big fallacy... With the power of one country, I have millions of soldiers.
, but was defeated by the fourth uncle's one city, under three thousand horsemen. There may be people who have suffered such a complete defeat since ancient times, but there is no one like me who dare not die in the country and become a monk and escape."
"Your Majesty..." Listening to Emperor Jianwen opening his heart, Chang Sen and the other three choked up with an unknown feeling of courage.
"I am afraid of death before I run for my life, and I dare not accept failure before I can do it." Emperor Jianwen said with tears streaming down his face: "I have caused so many loyal ministers and loyal ministers to fly into the fire, and their bodies were shattered into pieces... I should not have done this fourteen years ago.
Escape and let the emperor see people alive and dead and corpses, and there will be no more continuous efforts in the past fourteen years... How did I wake up so late?
"Your Majesty, please don't say any more..." Chang Sen and the three of them knelt on the ground, crying together.
"Please get up and run for your lives." Emperor Jianwen helped Huai'en up and said with tears: "You have worked hard over the years. Let me avenge the revenge of those loyal ministers."
"Your Majesty must not do it." Although it was not surprising that Emperor Jianwen said this, Chang Sen and others were shocked when they heard it with their own ears and firmly disagreed with Emperor Jianwen's stay. "Otherwise, the sacrifices of so many of our people will be lost.
Wouldn’t it be all in vain?”
"I am just trying to avoid further sacrifices..." Emperor Jianwen smiled and said: "I am the shackles of your destiny. Break the shackles and find a quiet place to live the rest of your life."
"Absolutely not" The people who can follow Emperor Jianwen to this day are not ordinary stubborn, how can he be persuaded to do so.
"It's the best choice for me to stay. You will be executed by Ling Chi, but Zhu Di will definitely not kill me. He will serve me with delicious food and drinks. Maybe he will pardon you in order to show mercy." Emperor Jianwen also returned.
They tried hard to persuade the three of them, but they had lost their patience and showed signs of trying to use force.
But Emperor Jianwen had been with them day and night for several years, and he knew them very well. He turned over his hand and put a razor against his throat. The three of them did not dare to move. Wynn exclaimed: "Your Majesty, be careful!
Don’t hurt yourself”
"If you don't want to see me die here, just leave quickly..." Emperor Jianwen said as he exerted force on his hand, the sharp blade pierced his neck, and the blood instantly dyed the white monk's clothes red.
Seeing this, the three Chang Sens could only kowtow to Emperor Jianwen vigorously, shed tears and leave first.
After watching the three people leave, Emperor Jianwen breathed a sigh of relief, figured out the direction, and headed back the way he came. Although he didn't know anything, he knew that the other party was attacking Baiyun Villa for his own sake, so he should catch up soon.
Sure enough, after Emperor Jianwen had walked a few steps, he saw a cavalry galloping towards him. He didn't care where he came from, so he stood in the middle of the road and waved his hands vigorously.
"Huh..." It was already dark and the visibility was very poor. When the dozen or so horsemen approached, they saw someone blocking the road. They hurriedly reined in their reins and almost stopped their horses three feet in front of Emperor Jianwen.
Hating this man blocking the road, the leading cavalry deliberately reined in the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves, and the man stood up. The horse's hooves as big as the mouth of a bowl passed close to Emperor Jianwen's nose, and the strong wind carried a rough wind.
The sand and gravel brought Emperor Jianwen down to the ground.
Seeing the embarrassment of him landing on his butt, the cavalrymen became less angry. Instead of hacking him to death, they asked in a rough voice: "Where did the monk come from? Are you tired of living? Get out of here!"
"I want to see your leader," Emperor Jianwen got up and patted the dirt on his body in embarrassment, "I have something to say to him."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, say it quickly." The two cavalrymen stepped aside, and Erhei's figure actually appeared.
"I want to see your greatest official." Emperor Jianwen was obviously dissatisfied with Erhei's grade.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here." The cavalrymen didn't have the patience to talk to him, so they raised their swords to drive Emperor Jianwen away.
"I am the Zhu Yunkang you are looking for." Emperor Jianwen had no choice but to reveal his identity.
The cavalrymen looked at each other in confusion. Someone asked in a low voice: "Zhu Yunwen, who are you?"
"Never heard of it..." someone else replied.
Erhei was the only one who felt a thump in his heart. He looked at the middle-aged monk carefully and shouted in his heart: 'Holy shit, how did you meet him? How did Doctor Wu protect the master?
Erhei never expected to meet Emperor Jianwen here, because according to common sense, Chang Sen and the others would protect Emperor Jianwen to the death. How could he be left alone?
Seeing that Erhei was silent for a long time, Emperor Jianwen became impatient and introduced himself again in a louder voice and clearer words: "I am the Emperor Jianwen you have been looking for for fourteen years. Take me to see your general.
Everyone will be well rewarded.”
Now, even the most commanding officers and soldiers understood what he was talking about... The atmosphere suddenly became weird, but Erhei burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, do you think I was deceived? It's so cliché.
I also want to deceive my wise and powerful Lord Erhei with his tricks, just dream about it."
