"Nonsense, what are you talking about? Shut up!"
Before the palace man could finish his words, he was grabbed by the angry guards, gagged, tied up and thrown onto a wooden bench, and a thick wooden stick as thick as his arm was smashed down.
"Your Majesty's own people... have all been taken away. The rest of us are all sent by Nine Thousand Years. Spare me, spare-"
The palace servants screamed and wailed, and they couldn't break free even with all their strength. After just a few hits with the wooden stick, their flesh and blood were mangled, their muscles and bones were broken, and they were dying!
Yun Zong's face was sinister, and he didn't even look at those people. He ordered his subordinates: "In life in the palace, you must be cautious every step of the way. Don't leave any of these people alive! Let's announce to the public that His Majesty is seriously ill and is recuperating behind closed doors. See no outsiders!”
It was not difficult for the palace to block the news. It was also because he thought highly of himself and did not force anyone to be around the queen. Instead, he asked her to take this opportunity and leave with her personal palace staff and jewelry. clean.
only…
Why did the imperial guard help her hide the news and take her away
You must know that these guards are all from the capital, and they are all in important positions. They ran away with the queen. Are the family members who stayed in the capital not afraid of being caught? How could they be willing to abandon the position they had finally climbed to
"Strictly investigate the guards and give me a list of all the missing people!"
Yun Zong left without mercy, but left behind a palace full of despair and resentment. The smell of blood in the wind became stronger and stronger, and blood spattered on the old vermilion palace walls, leaving deep stains.
A gust of wind blew past, blowing away the blood drops on the ground, and the smell of blood in the air became even stronger.
"...The deer has drained all its blood. Cut it into pieces and pickle it. When you set up camp at night, you can roast it and eat it on the spot."
The man dressed as a guard with a playful smile responded loudly and quickly skinned and disposed of the deer caught during the hunt. His hands and feet were extremely agile, and he packed it up in a short time and took it to the car behind.
Tong Su sat on the carriage in the center of the team and looked out curiously.
The car staggered forward. Even though the car was covered with thick soft pillows and cushions, there were still some bumps due to the path through the forest and the mountains.
However, she did not feel unhappy at all.
The curtains of the car window are opened, and the refreshing wind blows in. Outside the car, the blue sky and white clouds, the rolling mountains are dense and green, the sun is shining brightly, and there are birds and insects chirping in the ears, crisp and melodious.
The man was not riding a horse, but was sitting in the car with her, lazily leaning on the couch and looking at the map.
Tong Su turned around and said, "If we leave like this, we will definitely be discovered by Yunzong, but how can we escape before he catches up?"
"Discovery is certain. At this time, he must have noticed something was wrong. He rushed to His Majesty's palace and rummaged through it. He also saw the paper I specifically asked you to write and tore it off and hid it under the bed."
Xi Chenzhou raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "When he looks at you, he usually thinks that you have lost your temper and run away from the palace, so he will ask people to search in the direction of Jiangnan. But when he thinks that I am taking you away, we will have already As soon as we reached the northwest, he couldn’t catch up.”
Of the 300,000 northwest troops he brought back, most of them were disarmed and returned to the fields according to the rules, while the other half returned to the northwest.
This was the source of Yunzong's indulgent confidence in him. Yunzong thought that by removing his military power, he would be completely abolished and would not be able to cause any trouble.
But-
However, don't forget that there are frequent wars in the northwest, and the imperial army has always been demanding on military rations.
In order to be self-sufficient, the Northwest Army has already worn armor to fight and returned to the fields to farm. Disarming and returning to the fields does not take them away from the battlefield, but allows them to lurk among the people!
