When the two of them were on the observation platform to guard Kaizi, Yi Zhongren yawned a few times and was tired. Seeing this, Liu Yu immediately said, "Sir Qianhu, let's go and rest, the ministers are here to guard."
Yi Zhongren glanced at him with obvious distrust.
Liu Yu endured his anger and said, "Of course the ministers can't compare to the martial arts of Lord Qianhu, but they can still defend these rebels. Besides, there are people from Hu'an guards and pro-yu guards everywhere, even if someone wants to. To save King Yue, it also depends on whether the arrows in their hands will answer. Besides, this is not the first time the servants have watched here." This is his chance to turn his merits away, so he must seize it!
Looking at Liu Yu, when the other party became more and more uneasy, Yi Zhongren stood up: "Then it will be hard for Mr. Liu."
"It should be."
Yi Zhongren left with the mute. Huo Feng raised his head slightly and watched Yi Zhongren walk down the platform. When getting on the horse, Yi Zhongren glanced at him, and then rode away. Huo Feng lowered his head again, looking very weak.
As soon as Yi Zhongren left, Liu Yu straightened his back. First recruit someone to feed Huo Feng some rice soup, lest he starve to death. Then Liu Yu sat in the position where Yi Zhongren sat before, inhaled some refreshing essential oil, and stared at Huo Feng who was tied there with wide eyes. At night, when the thief likes to do something, he has to work hard.
It was almost time to go. No matter how energetic Liu Yu was, he couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call. He almost fell asleep several times, and he simply stood up and walked down the viewing platform. It's not easy to get sleepy if you don't sit. After walking around the three prisoners and kicking a few times, Liu Yu fantasized about the honor of becoming the first eunuch one day.
At this time, one of Liu Yu's eunuchs rushed over on a horse, looking very anxious. When he came to Liu Yu, he jumped off his horse and went directly to his ear: "Master Chief, our people have found the trace of the Prince of Yue, but our manpower is not enough. What if we ask Master Qianhu to get in first?"
"What?!" Liu Yu pulled the man aside and said excitedly, "Have you found the Prince of Yue?"
The man nodded sharply and said anxiously: "The servant listened to your instructions, no one said anything, and rushed over to tell you. But our manpower is not enough, the Prince of Yue is guarded by someone, and it seems that he is going to flee to Yidong. We have to catch him before he gets out."
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you can catch the Prince of Yue before Yi Zhongren, it will definitely be a great achievement. Liu Yu's mind has never turned so fast. Glancing at the soldiers around him, he said in a low voice, "You hurry up and continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Prince of Yue, and I will send someone to chase him right away."
"But we don't have any. If we send someone, it will surely disturb the Lord Qianhu, and possibly the Lord Governor."
"You're so stupid!" Liu Yu couldn't help but slapped the other party, "I said there are people, so hurry up!"
"...Yes!" The little eunuch gritted his teeth, mounted his horse and left quickly.
Liu Yu glanced around, called the guards here, and said, "Your Excellency Dugong has something important to do, you can send half of your troops to come with me."
"This..." The guard did not dare to obey, but there was something to be done here.
Liu Yu was anxious, if he could get the news of the prince, so would the people of Yi Zhong. There are thousands of people in the hands of Yi Zhongren! Liu Yu directly took out his pocket card: "I still don't obey the order! I ruined the important affairs of the governor, and I want you to fall!"
Thinking of the Dugong's methods, the guard shuddered, thinking that Liu Yu was the person next to the Dugong, his words should be correct. The guard immediately dispatched half of the troops present to go with Liu Yu. Liu Yu rushed out of the capital with his soldiers and horses anxiously, and his glory, wealth and wealth are in front of him, and he can be caught soon!
Huang Han and Xu Baicai watched Liu Yu lead a lot of people away calmly, with worries and doubts in their hearts. Worrying about whether Ruan Xingtian and the others came, and doubting that Xingtian and the others should not be so fast. How could Zhang Zhong's spayed dog take away half of the people? What happened
Huo Feng naturally noticed it too. But he remained motionless with his head down. The round moon hung in the sky, and Huo Feng's chapped lips opened: "Now, what time is it?"
Xu Baicai looked around and said uncertainly, "Is it about time to be ugly?"
Huang Han said: "I just seemed to hear a three-quarter beat."
Child, three quarters? Huo Feng pursed his lips. It seemed that someone had tapped him three times on the shoulder. Looking up at the moon in the sky, a scene from five years ago suddenly broke into his mind very clearly.
“Da da da da…”
The sound of horse hooves gradually made Huo Feng return to his senses. Huang Han and Xu Baicai looked towards the entrance of the viewing platform. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, there must be a large number of soldiers and horses, there must be a thousand people. The two sneered, are they worried that they sent someone over again
"who?!"
"The Imperial Guard was ordered to send more troops to see the prisoners."
Seeing that the token in the opponent's hand really belonged to the Imperial Guard, and thinking that Liu Yu had taken away half of the soldiers and horses, the guard gave the order to let them go. The leader led some of the men and horses into the interior of the viewing platform, while the other part of them trained and ran to the entrance and the surrounding city walls in an orderly manner, standing with the soldiers of Huanwei.
The guard yawned a few times and went to his place to take a nap. After the leader entered the platform, they immediately ordered the accompanying soldiers to disperse. Seeing that person, Huang Han and Xu Baicai would definitely call out if they were too hungry and weak. Punishment day? !
Blinking at the two of them, telling them not to make a sound, the leader walked in front of Huo Feng. Huo Feng raised his head, the surprise in his eyes flashed away. With a slight nod to the other side, Huo Feng's body suddenly exerted strength, and the rope tied to him suddenly broke into several pieces. At the same time, Ruan Xingtian let out a long whistle, and the soldiers of the "Guardian Guards" who were standing with the Huanwei soldiers suddenly pulled out their weapons and dropped their knives.
The screams broke the silence of the night. Ruan Xingtian pulled out a dagger and cut off the ropes on Huang Han and Xu Baicai, and quickly said, "Go!" Someone brought three horses, and the three quickly mounted. Over there, the guard shouted, "Hurry up and report to Lord Qianhu! We've been tricked!"
"Whoosh!"
A flaming arrow came from a distance and shot through the guard's chest.
Huo Feng tucked what he had been holding into the placket of his shirt, and ordered, "Go!" and waved off his riding whip.
The soldiers disguised as "Guardians" were not reluctant to fight, they mounted their horses and rushed out while killing. A masked man stood on a big tree some distance from the viewing platform, his bow and arrow aimed at Hu Anwei's minions.
"Whoosh!"
Against the moonlight, the man's face could not be seen clearly, only a black mask could be seen. Huo Feng clenched his fists and thanked the other party, and then quickly added the whip. Ruan Xingtian picked up a package from behind the horse's butt and threw it out.
"My lord, put it on!"
Then, he threw another package to Huang Han and Xu Baicai.
Huo Feng opened the package with one hand. Inside was the clothes of a royal guard. He clamped his legs on the horse's belly and quickly put on his clothes. Huang Han shouted over there, "Is there anything to eat, I'm going to starve to death!"
"It's in the package!"
Huang Han casually put on his military uniform, and sure enough, he saw two pancakes in the package. He picked it up and devoured it and started chewing. Xu Baicai was also eating and was starving.
"My lord, are you okay?"
Ruan Xingtian asked worriedly. Huo Feng didn't eat the pancake. He looked ahead with his eyes like torches and said, "There's nothing better than now. Where's He Jia?"
"He was guarding the 'home' so that no one would take the opportunity to make trouble."
Then, he said guiltily: "My subordinates did not find His Royal Highness, nor did they rescue the young master."
"They are safe."
Huo Feng's words surprised the three of them. But he didn't explain, just asked: "How many men and horses did you bring?"
Ruan Xingtian said: "I brought 2,000 people back, for fear of attracting attention and shocking the snake. Now half of the brothers are waiting outside the capital to meet the prince."
"How do we rush out of the city?" Huang Han asked worriedly.
Ruan Xingtian's eyes flashed a touch of thought, and he said, "We just rush out, and the city gate will open automatically."
Huang Han was stunned, but seeing that Ruan Xingtian didn't seem to be joking, he shut up and didn't ask. The big deal is to get caught again.
A group of people ran unimpeded all the way to the gate of the capital. Huo Feng, Huang Han and Xu Baicai surrounded Huo Feng, Huang Han and Xu Baicai, disguised as soldiers of the Imperial Guard. The light of the torches in the direction of the city gate was soaring to the sky, and Ruan Xingtian made a gesture—rush! Huo Feng, Huang Han and Xu Baicai lowered their heads and covered their faces.
Huo Feng lay on his horse and carefully observed the movement of the city gate. Huang Han and Xu Baicai held their breaths, their hearts racing. The city gate was getting closer and closer, and Ruan Xingtian was the first to charge towards the city gate with his waist card high.
When the guards at the city gate saw them, not only did they not block them, but they quickly removed the obstacles in front of the city gate to let them go. Ruan Xingtian rushed through the city gate with the team. When everyone rushed out, Huo Feng, Huang Han and Xu Baicai all looked back. Huang Han and Xu Baicai were full of doubts, they just came out like this? !
Ruan Xingtian did not order to slow down, but continued to join up with another thousand soldiers in a hurry. Shortly after they rushed out of the capital, the guards at the city gate were controlled by Hu'an Guard troops. Yi Zhongren took thousands of Hu'an Guard soldiers out of the city, and outside the city, the soldiers split into two and chased in different directions.
Zhang Zhong's mansion, one person knelt on the ground in fear, Zhang Zhong sat on the chair with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth: "You said that Liu Yu took half of the guards from the viewing platform and sneaked out of the capital?"
"Yes! Lord Yi was originally supposed to be guarding the platform, but Lord Liu kept persuading Lord Yi to go back and rest, and Lord Yi went back. I don't know when it was just over, Lord Liu transferred the person from the platform. Half of the guards said that they were under your order to investigate something important. The guards at the viewing platform dared not not listen, so they let Master Liu take them away. As a result, a group of people came shortly after Master Liu left. The men of the imperial guards said that they were sent to watch the platform by the command of the envoy. As soon as the group entered the viewing platform, they started killing people, and the guards died on the spot. They robbed the King of Yue and his two subordinates, and went straight out of the capital."
"Why didn't the city guard interrogate him!"
"When Master Liu went out of the city, he said that he was doing important things for the Governor. The city guard thought that the robbers who pretended to be the imperial guards were also doing important things for the Governor, so they didn't stop him for questioning."
"Liu Yu is a dog who eats inside and out! Arrest all his family for me!"
"Master Yi personally led people to chase. Master Yi had already ordered people to arrest them before he left Beijing."
"Catch Liu Yu alive for me! Catch Liu Yu alive! I'm going to cut him with my own hands! In which direction did King Yue escape?!"
"I don't know yet. We have to wait for news from Lord Yi."
Zhang Zhong kept breathing deeply. What I thought was a surefire thing turned out to be so troublesome because of the inside ghost. Once the King of Yue is allowed to escape back to Yidong, it will be a big problem! In the hands of the King of Yue, he holds nearly 70% of the troops of the Southern Chu Kingdom!
"You go and invite Master Sun immediately. Don't disturb the emperor! Pass my order, and the troops of Huanwei will come out in full force, and you must catch the King of Yue for me!"
"Yes!"
The man immediately got up and left. Zhang Zhong paced the room, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. The Yizhong people have already led people to catch up, and now the biggest hope is that the Yizhong people can catch up with the King of Yue to contain him, and wait for the troops of Huanwei and Yuqinwei to arrive. And he can also mobilize the capital's troops and horses under the guise of the emperor. Thinking like this, Zhang Zhong immediately summoned a confidant and asked him to do this. He must not let the King of Yue escape to Yidong.
Here, Zhang Zhong tried every means to capture Huo Feng in the mansion; over there, Yi Zhongren, who led people to hunt down Huo Feng, encountered an ambush. Ruan Xingtian laid a trap on their way to escape. Although Yi Zhongren was fine, his casualties were not small. He immediately ordered to pursue Huo Feng from another road. Yizhong ordered Mute to explore the way first. Mute was wrapped in a large black cloak and rode a good horse and quickly disappeared. Yi Zhongren settled down the injured men, readjusted the team, and went on the road again, chasing after Huo Feng.
※
The sky is getting brighter. After passing through another city, Huo Feng ordered 2,000 soldiers to be broken into pieces and divided into four teams from different directions such as rivers and mountain roads to Yucheng Pass. He Jia will personally lead people to meet them at Yucheng Pass. Ruan Xingtian, Huang Han, Xu Baicai, and Huo Feng each led a man. After changing out of the military uniforms of the Imperial Guards, putting on ordinary state and county military uniforms, and disguised as officers and soldiers to arrest the offender, the four teams took a short rest and went on the road again. Huang Han and Xu Baicai didn't even have time to ask Ruan Xingtian why he appeared so timely, let alone why their prince was sure the two children were safe.
Huo Feng took a group of people along the mountain road. Watching Ruan Xingtian, Huang Han, and Xu Baicai leave with the rest of the men in three directions, Huo Feng took out a jade pendant from his jacket. There is a dragon engraved on the jade pendant. This is the jade pendant that his eldest son, Huo Yunkai, carried with him, or he personally put it on for his son. Putting the jade pendant in his arms, Huo Feng mounted his horse.
"Walk!"
As he rode his horse into the forest, Huo Feng saw a demon-like, icy face that was always sneering, and a pair of eyes that he had never seen through or looked at carefully. The coldness of the man's palm still seemed to remain on his lips. Yi Zhongren, are you good or evil? For the first time, Huo Feng was confused by the person he hated so deeply.
