The fifth prince winked at him and Le Qian stopped talking. Then the fifth prince Lan Cangyue pulled the reins and ran towards the city gate!
In order to rush to the city gate before Lancang Mo left the city, the fifth prince Lan Cang Yue turned his horse's head and walked through the market.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, get out of the way of this prince, quickly..." Lan Cang Yue shouted loudly.
In an instant, people in the market saw someone riding a fast horse through the market, and they couldn't help but screamed in fear, and then hurriedly hid on both sides.
Some older people did not react, and the vegetable baskets in their hands flew out.
However, the fifth prince Lan Cang Yue finally arrived at the city gate before the second prince Lan Cang Mo.
When Lan Cang Yue arrived at the city gate, she slowed down her horse and walked up to the person guarding the city gate.
"See the Fifth Prince." Luo Jing, who was guarding the city gate, saw Lan Cang Yue approaching, so he walked forward and saluted him.
Lancang Yue stopped at this moment and asked, "Has the second prince left the imperial city?"
"Second Highness? Back to the Fifth Prince, no." Luo Jing said at this time, cupping his hands.
Lancang Yue nodded after hearing this, then jumped off the horse and handed the reins to Luo Jing.
Luo Jing quickly took the horse over and handed it to the guard on the side.
Then Luo Jing walked up to Lan Cang Yue and said, "Fifth prince, why don't you take a rest?"
"No need." Lancang Yue waved her hand to Luo Jing and looked into the city.
At this moment, Lan Cang Mo's carriage was seen approaching the city gate. Lan Cang Yue couldn't help but twitching the corner of her mouth and took two steps forward.
At this time, Huo Si, who was driving the carriage, leaned back and whispered, "Your Highness, the fifth prince is at the city gate. It seems that he is waiting for Your Highness."
"I didn't find this old man moving so quickly. When I get back, I will check all the maids and slaves who come in and out of my residence!" After hearing this, Lan Cangmo couldn't help but sneer, and then his face turned cold.
As for him, he didn't think it was strange. He had long suspected that the fifth person was planted beside him, but he never found out. He deliberately revealed the news early this morning. He didn't expect that the fox's tail would be revealed so quickly.
When the carriage was approaching the city gate, Lancang Yue took a few steps forward, and then said loudly to the carriage, "Second brother, where are you going? Why is there such a big battle? Are you going out?"
Lan Cangmo looked at the large group of people behind the carriage, and then frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince." The attendant got off the carriage and immediately saluted Lancang Yue.
At this time, Lan Cang Mo opened the car curtain, glanced at Lan Cang Yue and said, "Fifth brother is really well informed. It seems that he has been waiting here for a long time."
"Hey, second brother, what are you talking about? I had nothing to do this morning, so I was going to ride out for a walk. When I walked to the gate of the city, I felt a little tired, so I was going to rest here. Unexpectedly, I saw Second brother's carriage, by the way, where are you planning to go?" Lan Cangyue said with a smile, and then changed the subject and back again.
I saw Lan Cangmo pretending to be silent at this time.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Lancang Yue then smiled and said, "Second brother, if you have anything interesting to say, just tell me.
"Like my fifth brother, I feel miserable staying in the palace. Yesterday was the day of war between Xiling and Dongling. Until now, no news has come back. I feel a little worried, so I want to go and have a look." Lan Cangmo was at this time. He raised his eyebrows and said immediately.
After listening to Lan Cang Mo's words, Lan Cang Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "I think the second brother is just letting himself be troubled. The Dongling Army has been short of food for many days, let's not talk about this for now, and we still have those nightmares of Master Zhan." Gu people, we will win this battle!"
"Having said that, I still don't feel relieved because I haven't received any news," Lan Cangmo frowned slightly at this time and then said.
Lancang Yue said again at this time, "Second brother, you can relax. What my father and the others have brought back must be good news?"
"If it is really me, Xiling, who defeated Dongling, and I am just sitting around in the imperial city with nothing to do, I will treat it as a job to support my father." After hearing this, Lan Cang Mo smiled and said to Lan Cang Yue,
After hearing this, Lan Cangyue immediately walked to the carriage and nodded to it, "So, what the second brother said makes sense. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the palace, so why don't I go with the second brother?" ,how?"
"It's okay to have someone to chat with you along the way. If fifth brother wants to go, there will naturally be a place in the carriage, but where is fifth brother's mother and concubine..." Lan Cang Mo said, and then looked at Lan Cang Yue.
Lan Cang Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll have someone go to the palace gate to deliver a message later."
With that said, Lan Cang Yue turned around and looked at Luo Jing, "My prince's people are at the gate of the palace right now. Go ahead and tell them, oh, by the way, send me the horse back too."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll leave this matter to me." Luo Jing accepted.
Then Lan Cang Yue got on the carriage and said with a smile, "Second brother, you can go."
Lan Cang Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this time. He didn't expect that Lan Cang Yue would take the bait so quickly. He was worried about how to tell his father why he suddenly went to the frontier fortress.
Now that we have a reason, with Lan Cang Yue following us, even if something happens, it won't appear too deliberate!
He just said to Huo Si before, "Let's go."
Then the carriage headed out of the city again.
After the carriage left, Luo Jing walked up to Lancang Yue's horse, then led it over, and then said to the guard at the door, "Go and find a horse."
"Yes, sir." The man responded and turned around to leave.
After the horse was brought over, Luo Jing rode on it, holding Lan Cang Yue's horse with his other hand, and walked towards the entrance of the palace.
The entrance to the palace.
It's been so long and Lan Cang Yue hasn't come back yet, Le Qian can't help but feel anxious.
At this moment, Luo Jing came over on horseback.
Le Qian saw his hand holding the horse of their fifth highness, and couldn't help but hurried forward, looked at Luo Jing and asked, "Where is my highness? Why is the horse here with you?"
"Master Le." Luo Jing jumped off the horse and handed the reins to Le Qian.
Le Qian took it at this time, "Where is my Highness?"
"The Fifth Highness followed the Second Highness's carriage out of the city. It was His Highness who asked me to send the horse over to say something." Luo Jing said at this time.
Le Qian could not help but frown after hearing this, "You said that my Highness followed His Second Highness out of the city."
"Yeah." Luo Jing nodded.
Then Le Qian led the horse and walked towards the palace.
And at this time.
Ye and Mo, who were secretly observing the movements of the second prince, saw him leaving the imperial city, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
Then I started to contact people.
King Xiling.
Tian Kun didn't sleep a wink all night and was always alert to the movements around him. Fortunately, the night was calm.
After all, they defeated Dongling this time, and their emperor was still in the army. Now there are only more than a thousand people left in the army, and there are still wounded.
If the Dongling people come to assassinate the emperor at night, they will definitely be wiped out!
So he had people keep an eye on the Dongling Army's movements ten miles away. If something was wrong, he would notify them with beacons so that they could quickly escort the emperor away.
As soon as the sky dawned, Tian Kun walked to King Xiling's tent, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in.
He saw King Xiling lying on his side on the bed with his back to him. At this time, Tian Kun stepped forward and shouted softly, "Your Majesty, the sky is getting bright, we should set off."
"I know, let me get dressed!" Lankuo opened his eyes when he heard the voice, then sighed and said.
Tian Kun cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
With that said, he walked aside and took Lan Kuo's clothes over, "Your Majesty."
Lankuo was supporting the bed with his hands. Tian Kun saw this and quickly bent down to support Lankuo. After Lankuo sat up, Tian Kun dressed him.
At this time, Lankuo looked much older overnight, with a lot more gray hair on his head.
"Are you all ready?" Lankuo asked Tian Kun in a slightly hoarse voice.
Tian Kun nodded at this time, "Everything is ready, just wait for the emperor to come."
"Commander Yan hasn't come back yet?" Lankuo asked again.
Tian Kun shook his head and said, "Back to the emperor, no."
"Let's go..." Lankuo closed his eyes and sighed, then walked outside.
Seeing this, Tian Kun quickly walked forward and opened the door of the tent, "Your Majesty, be careful."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was opened, he saw a man kneeling outside the door. His body was covered in blood, his hair was messy, and his face was covered with dust. He looked very embarrassed!
"You...who are you?" Upon seeing this, Tian Kun immediately stood in front of Lankuo, pointed at him and asked.
I saw that the man was still kowtowing, and while kowtowing, he said, "Your Majesty, I have neglected my duties, I am incompetent, and my right hand has been crippled. Only then... I hope the Emperor will order me to be killed!"
"Are you...are you Commander Yan?" Hearing the voice, Tian Kun asked with disbelief.
Then Yan Hao kowtowed again and said, "Please, Your Majesty, issue an order to kill me!"
"Commander Yan... Commander Yan, what happened? How did you end up like this?" Tian Kun confirmed that the man in front of him was his commander, then ran to him, pulled him and said.
At this time, King Xiling also walked up to him with a look of disbelief and said, "Commander Yan, get up and speak."
"I have no face to see the emperor and beg the emperor to grant death." Yan Hao said to Lankuo at this time.
I saw Lankuo say again at this time, "You got up when I asked you to get up. Now you are still a minister. Do you want to resist the decree and disrespect me?"
"Commander Yan, get up." Tian Kun said to Yan Hao again, and then helped Yan Hao up.
After Yan Hao stood up, he looked at his face with a look of despair.
Lankuo couldn't help but frown at this moment, and then asked quickly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, I fell into Shuo Ling's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When I found out, Shuo Ling... broke my hand tendons. I'm afraid I will never be able to hold a sword again." Yan Hao looked at this moment Turning his right hand towards himself, the flesh on his face couldn't help but tremble again.
Lan Kuo was shocked after hearing this, and then asked, "What's next, what did Shuo Ling do? Why did you return to the military camp just now?"
