Chapter 1074 By You?

Zhu Zhanji restrained his spirit, forced himself not to think about other places, and focused on how to escape, only to realize that he was in a very bad situation. Even though he had escaped from Yingtai, he was still not out of danger.

Because the Nanhai Lake in Xiyuan is only one mile in radius, if the weather is fine, even at night, you can see all the movements on the lake and the shore.Fortunately, there was heavy rain tonight, and the line of sight was less than one-tenth of normal, which allowed them to temporarily hide on the lake without anyone noticing.

As soon as King Zhao's men break through the Yushi Bridge, occupy Yingtai, and find that they have disappeared, they will definitely search the lake, and then they will be unable to fly!

"Your Highness, we have to leave the lake, we can't just sit and wait." Qin Ya also had the same opinion, got into the cabin and said to Zhu Zhanji, "Should we find a secluded place to dock or try to go to Zhonghai." The area of ​​Zhonghai is much larger In the South China Sea, the two lakes are separated by the centipede bridge, and they are also close to the emperor's palace.

"The centipede bridge must be guarded by heavy troops, so we can't go to Zhonghai." Zhu Zhanji frowned, paused, and said, "And if they dare to send heavy troops to attack Yingtai, I'm afraid there will be more troops surrounding the palace."

"Then let's go ashore at a place where no one is around, and then make other plans." Qin A said in a deep voice.

Zhu Zhanji nodded, that's all he could do.

Qin A then went out of the cabin and ordered his men outside to carefully row the boat, taking advantage of the heavy rain, he quietly sailed towards the shore.

The South China Sea is not big, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than a dozen feet away from the shore. Qin Ya hurriedly used gestures to stop his men from moving forward, because he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be an army ambushing in the long corridor on the shore!

When Qin Ya was in the vanguard of the government army, he initially led the scout battalion. He was different from ordinary people in watching the wind and observing the enemy. He could often find the opponent before the enemy through clues.More than ten years of scouting career gave him an almost instinctive premonition of danger, and he also believed in his own feelings very much. Once he sensed that something was wrong, he would immediately retreat, then turn around and approach the other side of the lake.

But this time, without relying on his premonition, the guards under him saw the enemy soldiers patrolling by the lake... At this time, the only ones still patrolling were the enemy soldiers.

Qin Ya tried several different directions, but found traces of enemy soldiers patrolling.Moreover, the combination of bright whistle and dark whistle does not give them any loopholes at all.

This is also reasonable. After all, before King Zhao rebelled, he must have carefully planned, and it is impossible not to consider their escape from the water.Moreover, the South China Sea is only a palm-sized place, and there are corridors with no blind spots all around, so it is very easy to patrol. Of course, the enemy army will not give them a chance to escape.

After rowing the boat out of the sight of the enemy, Qin Ya re-entered the cabin, and reported to His Royal Highness with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, we may have nowhere to escape..."

Zhu Zhanji looked through the cabin and looked at Yingtai, which was already on fire, with a look of despair in his eyes.Is this the punishment of God?Is God going to kill me?
.

The resistance of Yingtai guards was very tenacious, Zhao Ying paid a big price, and it took more than half an hour to finally break through the Yushi Bridge, and the army surrounded the burning palaces and temples on Yingtai.

"Does not stay!" Zhao Ying's old face was full of ravines, which was darkened by the firelight, and a pair of eagle eyes shone fiercely.

"Yes!" All the subordinates showed their hostility as early as at Yushi Bridge, and they would kill everyone on Guangying Terrace without Zhao Ying's orders!

On Yingtai, besides His Royal Highness the Grandson and his party who had quietly escaped long ago, there were more than a hundred eunuchs and court ladies, and more than 200 guards who returned to Yingtai. to no avail!
Amidst the screams and cries, a cruel massacre began in Yingtai...

.

At the same time that Zhao Ying attacked Yingtai, King Zhao also led Changshan Zhongwei to surround the emperor's palace.

Inside and outside the dormitory, the most elite Ouchi guards are stationed. The defense is much stricter than that of Yingtai, but Yingtai is located in the middle of the South China Sea, and there is only one jade bridge to go to the island. Naturally, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack.Zhu Di couldn't bear the humidity the most, so the bedroom was located deep in the imperial garden, far away from the water. After being surrounded, he was naturally surrounded by enemies. The enemy soldiers broke through the defense lines everywhere, and in a blink of an eye, the palace gates of the palace were crumbling!
Eunuch Yang and Huang He, who were covered in rain, rushed into the dormitory hurriedly carrying a car, passed through layers of curtains, and saw Zhu Di wearing a dragon robe and a crown of good wings, sitting neatly on the dragon bed, although he only opened his eyes. One eye, but unmistakably awake!
Although they knew that the emperor had already awakened, Eunuch Yang and Huang He still shrank into a ball in fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground. Said: "Thank God, the emperor finally woke up!"

Zhu Di looked at them blankly, without any reaction.

Zheng He hung a treasured sword at his waist, stood majestically beside Zhu Di, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?"

"Go back to the emperor and Eunuch Zheng," Eunuch Yang came back to his senses, and hurriedly reported: "There are thieves making trouble outside, please the emperor take shelter!"

Huang He also echoed and said: "There are too many thieves, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" He stood up, and wanted to help the emperor to carry the emperor with Eunuch Yang.

"Don't come near!" Zheng He drew his sword, and the two faces of Huang Xie were pale as reflected by the sharp sword.

"Eunuch Zheng, what time is this! Are you still stopping us?!" Eunuch Yang stomped his feet, looked at Zhu Di with a frozen expression, and cried, "Your Majesty! Let's go! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Only then did Zhu Di roll his eyes, looked at Eunuch Yang, shook his head imperceptibly, and hissed, "I've never been a deserter."

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Yang knelt down and kowtowed vigorously to Zhu Di. His head was bleeding, and his voice was like a cuckoo weeping blood: "You must not be overwhelmed! The Ming Dynasty cannot do without you!"

Leveraging Eunuch Yang to attract the attention of the emperor and Zheng He, Huang He went to the emperor's dragon bed, quickly reached out, pulled out the dragon's tongue containing the pearl from the lifelike dragon's mouth, and then quietly stepped aside.

His movements were so fast that Zhu Di and Zheng He didn't notice.

Eunuch Yang was crying, and when he saw Huang He nodding slightly to him, indicating that he had succeeded, he stopped crying, stood up and said, "Since the emperor won't leave, then the servant has to go out and fight with them!"

"Yes!" Huang He also nodded heavily: "Unless they step over the old slave's body, they will never even think about stepping into the bedroom!"

After finishing speaking, the two eunuchs kowtowed to Zhu Di, then hid their faces and left.

Zhu Di watched the performance of the two eunuchs expressionlessly, and remained silent throughout.Zheng He on the side also silently held the sword, quietly guarding the emperor.

In the dormitory, only the two monarchs and ministers remained silent.Amidst the sound of thunder and rain, the shouts of killing outside the hall are getting closer...

.

During the meal, Zhao Ying's army had slaughtered all the eunuchs, maids, and guards on Yingtai, and the leaders of the team came back to report one after another.

"Going back to the ancestors, I didn't see Taisun and his party!"

"Old ancestor, there is no sign of Zhu Zhanji and the others!"

"Old ancestor, people are not on the island!"

Zhao Ying frowned, turned his eyes to the dark lake, and pointed.

"They must have fled to Nanhai Lake!" Ma De immediately shouted knowingly: "Go find a boat and search in the water, the entire lake is surrounded by our people, they can't escape!"

"Yes!" All the subordinates responded loudly, and hurriedly left Yingtai, and went to the small pier by the lake to find a boat.There are very few boats in Xiyuan, and people from Dongchang searched and searched, but they only found seven or eight boats of different sizes.But that's enough...

After a while, seven or eight boats all sailed to the surface of the South China Sea lake to start a comprehensive search.

The surface of the lake in the South China Sea is too small, even with the cover of night rain, after a while, some boats found Taisun and others hiding in the middle of the lake.

"They're here!" Dongchang Fanzi, who spotted the suspicious boat, shouted a warning, while rowing desperately to get close to him, trying to win the first prize of capturing Taisun!
On the small boat, Qin Ya and the others looked ashen, watching the boats approaching from all directions, they all knew that they were doomed.They drew out their weapons one after another, ready to be loyal to His Highness the Grandson!
Zhu Zhanji came out of the cabin, looked at Qin Ya and the others who looked at death like home, and sighed: "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, you hand them over to them, and change your way of life..."

"Your Highness, we only know how to be loyal until death, and don't know how to betray the master and survive!" Qin Ya held the sword and stood proudly on the bow of the boat, letting the rain hit his iron armor.

"Hey..." Zhu Zhanji sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, let's fight with them, and there is a companion on the road to Huangquan..." As he spoke, he drew out his sword and looked at the people who were getting closer and closer. The closer the enemy ship is, don't think about it anymore.

.

Zhao Wang's subordinates broke through the defense line by virtue of their large numbers of people, divided and surrounded the guards in the palace, and firmly controlled the palace in their hands.

Under the guard of a group of masters, Zhu Gaosui drove straight in, and entered the inner bedroom hall with heavy curtains.

The palace servants in the dormitory were nowhere to be seen, and it was empty, except for the emperor and Zheng He. A flash of lightning flashed across, and the shadows of the two people became more and more ghostly and lonely.

King Zhao carried his sword and entered the inner hall. He was five feet away from the emperor, and another flash of lightning flashed across, allowing the father and son of the heavenly family to see each other's faces.

Zhao Wang's handsome face was full of ferocity and determination.

On the emperor's old face, there was only deep exhaustion and chills.

Zhao Wang looked at his father, and Zhu Di looked at his once favorite young son. Countless emotions spread in this long night of heavy rain and blood, and the two were relatively speechless for a while.

After a burst of thunder, it was Zhu Di who spoke first: "I thought it would be Wang Xian who came, but I didn't expect it to be you, a rebellious son!"

King Zhao opened his mouth and said in a shy voice, "Father, you are really pretending to be unconscious..."

"Hmph," Zhu Di said with a cold gleam in his eyes, "I raised a good son, how dare you kill the king and usurp the throne?!"
