Prince Ning immediately dismounted and went to check the situation. He saw Prince Zhaohuai leaning on the carriage, and the princess kept patting the old prince's chest with her hands.
King Jian looked around and stepped forward and said, "Uncle, it's not safe yet, please hold on a little longer."
The Prince of Zhaohuai County shook his hand and took a long time to take a breath, "Where... can we be safe? The world is so big but the king's land, where can we escape to?"
Everyone fell silent.
King Jian said, "We can't just be caught by the pro-army troops who are following us."
The Prince of Zhaohuai County said, "You... let's go... it will be a drag to take us with you... I'm not going anywhere, waiting... to meet the ancestors of the Qi family."
Prince Ning showed a bit of unwillingness on his face, "We are all royal family and descendants of the Qi family. Now we are like a bereaved dog. I will stay with my uncle and I will not leave."
"Your Majesty," Princess Ning couldn't help but say, "you...you are different from my uncle. You...my uncle has watched the Holy One grow up. Maybe the Holy One will not do anything to the old uncle because of his affection. We..."
Before Princess Ning finished speaking, she saw Prince Ning's eyes flashing slightly, and Princess Ning immediately closed her mouth.
King Jian watched all this without saying a word.
Apart from King Cheng, the one with the highest status now is King Ning. King Ning's attitude is very important. King Ning said he would not leave, so everyone walked out of the carriage one after another.
Prince Ning pursed his lips, with a flash of timidity in his eyes, "But being caught up like this is a dead end. If you can follow my uncle into the palace and talk to the emperor, even if you don't give up the throne, it would be better than running away like this."
Prince Shunyang's face was gloomy and uncertain. He looked at Prince Ning and frowned, "We all escaped together before, but now we have to go our separate ways? We have to go together, and we have to stay together."
Princess Huayang got off the carriage, "What King Ning said is somewhat true. There are women in the carriage, and we can't escape too far. Even if we get to Shunde, Henan Dusi may not help us. I and the Henan Dusi Guards Command all
Even though we have some friendship, normal things are fine, this is about rebellion..."
After speaking, Princess Huayang looked at Prince Ning, "Prince Ning is also on good terms with the commander of Nadu, but do you think he will betray the court for us?"
Prince Ning immediately denied, "I am not familiar with Commander Chen."
"At this time," Princess Huayang's eyes revealed a bit of sarcasm, "Why does Prince Ning need to hide anymore? We can all work together to find a way to escape. Every year, Commander Chen comes to Beijing with a gift. Commander Chen
The birthday sticker for the eldest son has long been in Prince Ning’s hands. If any of us can persuade Commander Chen to help, it’s only you, Prince Ning.”
Prince Ning's expression changed again and again.
Prince Shunyang frowned, "Prince Ning said he would stay and take care of the prince. Is he planning to abandon us and go straight to Shandong to join Commander Chen?"
"How can such a thing happen?" Prince Ning's eyes widened, "I am also old, and my body has been empty these years. I am afraid that I will not be able to survive on the road... Then I thought about being a companion with my old uncle. Besides, what are the benefits of separation?
.”
Princess Huayang sneered, "Separating the large group of troops can distract the court's pursuers, and then King Ning will be safe."
Prince Ning's face turned red and he looked at the eldest princess Huayang, "The eldest princess is the closest to the Holy One. She wants to break us up by saying this. The eldest princess will use this to make meritorious service, and the Holy One will ignore the past grudges..."
"Regardless of past grievances?" Princess Huayang's eyes were sharp, "What did I do wrong? How can I, a woman, rebel? It's not because I was implicated."
"That's not necessarily the case," Prince Ning said. "It's not like there were no female emperors in the past."
"That's enough." When King Zhaohuai heard this, his anger welled up and he couldn't help but cough. "How could you become like this? The descendants of the Qi family used to be so majestic. Anyone standing in front of others would be admired.
No, they are not relatives of the emperor. They have made great military exploits for the Zhou Dynasty and are loyal to the emperor and the country..."
Prince Zhaohuai looked at Prince Ning, "Your grandfather was in the southwest to quell the rebellion in Dali. In the end, more than ten people were killed, but he still held on to the city until reinforcements arrived. You have completely embarrassed Prince Ning's palace."
"Uncle," King Ning said with a bitter look on his face, "Now it is no longer what it used to be. In the past, all the descendants of the Qi family were brave and good at fighting. Now who dares to lead troops in war? You have not seen the results of King An and King Wei. I have been trembling all day long.
, I don’t dare to show my face in the huddled mansion, and I will eventually be wrongfully accused of treason.”
As soon as King Ning finished speaking, Princess Huayang said sternly, "Prince Ning should be careful before the matter is found out. Maybe someone is instigating it. I always feel that today's things are not simple. Calm down now. I shouldn't have run away in confusion at that time. Now
That's hard to argue with.
Maybe the people who killed my bodyguards were not sent by the emperor, anything could happen if King Cheng rebels, and it is not certain that those people are trying to sow discord between us and the Holy Emperor in the name of King Cheng."
Prince Ning looked at Princess Huayang, "What do you mean, princess? Let's take the risk and go back and give it a try?"
Princess Huayang said, "The person who just said that he wanted to return to the city was King Ning. King Ning said this again. He really has other thoughts."
Prince Shunyang walked up to Prince Jian, and when no one was paying attention, he whispered, "You should also make up your mind, what should we do now?"
King Jian frowned and looked at where he was coming from. "The imperial troops may appear at any time. It's not impossible to test the emperor's intentions again. I'm afraid that the pursuing officers and soldiers will kill people without saying a word. By then... it will be too late to regret."
Prince Shunyang looked at Princess Huayang, "But we may not all be of the same mind. After a while, we will really be exhausted, and some of us may have to stay."
Princess Huayang's intention was already obvious, Prince Zhaohuai's body could not support her for long.
King Jian frowned and said, "We can't leave them behind. The prince of Zhaohuai County is our elder, and there are so many female relatives. If something happens to them, what can we do even if we escape?"
Prince Shunyang showed a look of shame on his face, "What should we do? As long as people catch up, how can we take care of so many people, and... my son followed the Prince of Anyi out of the capital, saying he was going to investigate.
I don’t know where the case is. I’m afraid that the court will catch him without knowing it. I...sigh..."
"I can't think about that much right now," King Jian said, "I think we should immediately integrate the troops and leave some guards with us at the rear. In this way, when the court catches up, we can test the court's attitude. Even if they are bent on killing us, we can still do something for them.
The women should buy enough time."
Prince Shunyang thought about it carefully and realized that King Jian's words seemed very reasonable. Even he would be persuaded by King Jian.
King Jian solemnly looked around, "Those who stay behind will inevitably face danger."
Prince Shunyang did not speak.
King Jian walked back to the carriage of Prince Zhaohuai, "We can't delay any longer. We have to make a decision immediately. I, Prince Shunyang and Prince Ning will stay with the guards. The remaining people will protect the old uncle, women and children."
We leave, this is the safest way."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Prince Ning kept trying to shirk the situation. Princess Huayang could not help but be swayed by her emotions. Prince Shunyang was always good at talking, and in the end, he had to rely on Prince Jian to make the decision.
Finally Prince Zhaohuai nodded, "That's all we have now."
"I..." Ning Wang said, "I'd better protect my uncle. I... I'm not good at riding, and I don't have the strength to tie a chicken. If I stay, I will only cause trouble."
King Jian's expression darkened, and there was no doubt about the look on his face: "Now that we are all one, no one can think of being alone. All our children, old and young, are here. Any move may kill them. Since we have decided to leave together in the city,
There is no reason to regret it, unless everyone can be safe, thinking about one's own interests will only become the culprit of everyone's death.
Once I find someone with such thoughts, don't blame me for being rude."
After King Jian said this, he looked at King Ning, "You must stay and help us."
King Ning looked at King Jian blankly. The usually kind King Jian seemed to have suddenly changed his appearance. He suddenly became so majestic and decisive that no one dared to disobey him.
Prince Ning swallowed, and his voice trembled nervously, "I...I'll stay."
