Chapter 161
"Most of the soldiers and horses in Wancheng have been transferred away, and Wancheng is empty. If someone takes advantage of this time to attack Wancheng, peace will not be guaranteed." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
Liu Lanxue nodded, and went with Mei Xiang to tell the wet nurse.
The nanny thought about it again and again, remembering that General Zhou had told him before leaving that if something happened to him, he would send Mr. Xiaolang to Yu Niangzi.
Although there is no news about the general now, since Yu Niangzi said so, there must be a reason.
The nanny took Zhou Changkang and followed her on the road.
The group was escorted by imperial soldiers and horses, and headed towards Chang'an.
Back then, he feigned death from Chang'an, and was brought to Wancheng by the King of Yue hidden in a chariot and horse.
Today, he was escorted by imperial soldiers and horses again, and went to Chang'an.
Come and go, the mood is really different.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Xiao Yuzhuo's mind couldn't help but drift far away. The green scenery was everywhere, and the cicadas were constantly singing, but one couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
"To be honest, I really miss Chang'an a little bit, and I don't know if Chang'an has changed now?" Mei Xiang whispered.
Zhuxiang nodded, but there was some joy on her face.She was probably looking forward to returning to Chang'an in her heart.
Ju Xiang's face was faint, she lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside the window, and let the hot wind blow across her cheeks.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the child sleeping in the nurse's arms, and couldn't help feeling soft in his heart.
The chariots and horses were passing through the pass in the mountains, when suddenly there was the sound of soldiers and horses chaotically in front of them.
The carriage of Xiao Yuzhuo and his party also shook violently.
Zhuxiang reacted quickly, stood up quickly, leaned out of the carriage with her upper body, and looked forward.
Suddenly, there was smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and the sound of shouting and killing.
Zhuxiang's expression was startled, "Turn the car around quickly! Pull back!"
The coachman immediately turned around.
But their carriages are extremely large, but the road at this pass is very narrow, and there is enough to drive, but it is very difficult and slow to turn around.
"I'm afraid there is an ambush ahead!" Zhu Xiang retreated into the carriage and said with a serious face.
"Then what should I do?" Mei Xiang's heart tightened, she looked at Xiao Yuzhuo, and then at Chong Wu in the nurse's arms.
The coachman and the guards at the side worked together to finally turn the carriage and horses around.
It's a pity that he didn't run very far before he was intercepted.
"I'm afraid someone has ambushed here long ago! Deliberately intercepting the troops." Zhu Xiang went down to look around, then came back and said.
Both front and back were flanked by ambushes.
The carriage and horses that Xiao Yuzhuo and his party were riding on happened to be stuck in the middle.
There is no fork in the middle section, and they can only escape by climbing the mountain unless they abandon their car and hike.
"The mountains on both sides look high and steep. If you abandon your car and climb the mountains, you will be trapped in the mountains!" Mei Xiang said with a frown as she looked at the mountains on both sides.
If the soldiers hide in the mountains, they may be able to escape by luck.
But most of them were women and children, and they were afraid that they would be captured before they hid in the mountains.
"I looked at the attack from front to back, but our group in the middle was not attacked?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Zhu Xiang nodded again and again, "It seems to have specifically avoided the section between us, as if to capture alive."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Abandoning the car and fleeing to the mountains is also dead, just wait. Wait and see who ambushed here, who is it?"
Xiao Yuzhuo comforted everyone with a calm expression, not to join the fighting army, so as not to be affected by the flames of war.
There is no need to abandon the car in a hurry and flee to the mountains.
Since it was an ambush, and there were soldiers and horses in front and behind, the possibility of them fleeing to the mountains must also be taken into account.
The ambush lasted for nearly an hour before the fighting ceased.
Of the two thousand soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, except for those who died in battle, the rest had scattered and fled.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party were thrown alone in the mountain pass.
The smoke and dust fell slowly.
The pass is eerily silent.
There were no soldiers and horses in sight, only corpses lying on the ground, and the lingering bloody aura.
"My lady, what should I do? Just wait like this?" Zhu Xiang stood outside the carriage.
This situation makes people feel flustered.
The ambushing people didn't show up at the moment, and they stopped on the road with their cars and horses, not daring to move.
I'm afraid that if I move, I will shoot a cold arrow from somewhere.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and thought for a moment, then she opened the curtain to get out of the carriage.
Zhu Xiang hurriedly stood in front of her, "Miss, be careful!"
Xiao Yuzhuo stood on the shaft of the chariot, looking left and right.
There seems to be a faint mist in the mountain forest, reflecting the sun, but it is not clear.
Suddenly there was laughter from the forest, "Is the Princess Shouchang below?"
Zhuxiang immediately blocked Xiao Yuzhuo and looked into the forest where the voice came from.
Fortunately, they stayed in the car just now and didn't move, nor did they run into the forest.
Sure enough, people were ambushed in the forest.
"Since it was an ambush to intercept, I must have inquired about it long ago, why bother to ask?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"I don't intend to hurt the princess, but I just want to save the princess from the fangs of the court, and please come with us!" The man's voice fell to the ground.
Many soldiers appeared when the fog in the forest was neutral.
They ran down the forest, cleared the battlefield, and led Xiao Yuzhuo's carriage through the pass.
There is a roadblock in front of the pass, and vehicles and horses cannot pass through.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party got off the car and walked across the obstacle.
Xiao Zhong took a heavy nap, but Zhou Changkang burst into tears.
The nanny coaxed nervously.
After passing through the roadblock, I realized that there were several light and nimble carriages waiting ahead.
Xiao Yuzhuo and the others had no choice but to ride in this light carriage separately.
The carriage left the main road and galloped towards the side road.
"My lady, do you want to give a secret signal so that the League will rescue you?" Zhuxiang secretly asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Just leave a mark and let them know where we are. Don't let them show up. They don't know who the other party is."
Zhuxiang nodded.
A party was taken into a remote wilderness.
It looks like a military camp here.
The place where soldiers are stationed is far away from towns and hidden in the wilderness, so it is not easy to be found.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party were taken into the barracks and guarded in the tent.
Zhou Changkang cried all the way, and now he stopped crying.
Xiao Chongwu suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes and looked around curiously. The child, fearless, jumped out of the nanny's arms and ran around in the strange tent.
"Keep an eye on him, don't tell him to go out!" Xiao Yuzhuo ordered.
She stood at the door of the tent and looked out along the crack of the door.
Listen carefully to the accent of the outsider.
"Mother, it's fun! It's fun! See Daddy!" Xiao Chongwu jumped up and down excitedly.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to him helplessly, "Don't make trouble, if you don't obey and run around, you will never see your father again, understand?"
Chong Wu nodded half understanding.
He just sat down obediently, took Zhou Changkang's hand and said, "Hey, don't make trouble..."
A general came in at the door.
The man stood at the door and glanced around the tent.Finally, his eyes fell on Xiao Yuzhuo.
"My master wants to see the princess, please come here."
Several servant girls immediately stepped up to follow.
But the man stretched out his hand to stop him, "My master only sees the princess! The others stay in the camp, take a step and kill them!"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to them, "Take care of Mr. Xiao Lang."
After speaking, he left with the general.
After walking for a long distance, we arrived at the coach's camp.
The general shouted from outside the tent and asked Xiao Yuzhuo to come in.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt a little uneasy.
Who she will meet next, she has some guesses in her heart, but she is not sure.
The unknown is sometimes the most disturbing thing.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the tent.
The tent was divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
There was no one outside, and it was quiet.
"I don't know who the coach is? Why do you want to see me?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.
I only heard a light cough coming from the compartment, the voice was cold, and it made people feel shuddering.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
He heard footsteps coming out of the compartment.
She couldn't help but tighten her heart, and her gaze fell on the curtain of the inner and outer compartments.
A hand that was too fair was resting on the edge of the door curtain.
Slowly, the hand opened the door curtain.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared at the door curtain.
Behind the door curtain stood a thin figure with a cold and murderous look.
Xiao Yuzhuo opened his mouth, but did not speak yet.
The man stepped out from the inner room.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, only to see that the man had a big red face on his face.
The big face was painted fierce and mighty, blocking the whole face of the man, only a pair of eyes could be seen, and the cold light suddenly appeared.
"Young Master Yun?!" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help saying.
The man with the big face stood with his hands behind his back and looked at her coldly, "How does Princess Shouchang know that Gu is Mr. Yun?"
When he went to Wancheng to meet Liang Sheng, Xiao Yuzhuo secretly watched him in the cubicle.
Seeing him with such a red face at that time surprised her.
But he probably didn't see himself at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have just attacked Liang Sheng later.
"When I was in Chang'an, I once heard that Mr. Yun of Yunding Casino is very mysterious. He never shows his true face to others. No one has seen his face. He only has a big red face, which reminds people of The brave and skilled King of Lanling." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
The man with the big face snorted, "The brave and capable King of Lanling? The reason why the King of Lanling took the big face to kill the enemy is because his face is too handsome and beautiful. He was worried that he would not have enough evil spirit to deter the enemy. And The reason why I have a big face alone is because I am worried that I will be too serious and show my true face, so that many people will not be able to sleep peacefully!"
His voice was cold, but quite powerful.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "But isn't there a lot of chaos now? There are those who fought for the former emperor and supported the former crown prince. There are also those who fight for the current emperor. I don't know who Mr. Yun is gathering troops here for?"
"Didn't Princess Shouchang ask this knowingly?" He sneered, "Prince Xiang seeks power and usurps the throne, disregarding blood and family ties, and wants to kill the heirs of the previous emperor. , naturally want to help the orthodox, and kill this treacherous villain who seeks power and usurp the throne! Avenge the late emperor, and avenge the late emperor's heirs!"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head when he heard him proclaiming himself, "I am no longer the princess of Shouchang."
Mr. Yun suddenly laughed, "Why not? The late emperor personally named you the Princess of Shouchang, and the late Emperor will not dethrone you, you will always be the Princess of Shouchang!"
"The current Holy Majesty hates me, he has already stripped me of my title and taken back my fief." Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.
Mr. Yun was very excited when he heard the words, "He is just a traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne! How could he have the right to abolish the grace of the late emperor! He also broke up you and General Jing! As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy one family! Back then The late emperor showed so much favor and favor to Princess Shouchang, even the princess is not as honored and favored by Princess Shouchang! Princess Shouchang was really entrapped by King Xiang, who deceived the world and robbed the country!"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes, pinched his sleeves and touched the corners of his eyes, "Oh...it's all over, so don't mention it."
"Now Princess Shouchang is hiding in Wancheng, and he has swallowed his anger. He never thought that he would take Princess Shouchang back to Chang'an! He has no kindness at all, but just wants to arrest you and use you to threaten General Jing! "Young Master Yun said angrily.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "He is the king, we are the people, the king has orders, why dare not obey?"
"If the former emperor was still here, no one would allow someone to insult Princess Shouchang like this!" Mr. Yun said generously.
Xiao Yuzhuo whimpered twice, "There is probably no one in this world who treats me as well as Uncle."
"Cousin don't cry!" Mr. Yun suddenly raised his hand to remove the big red face.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly raised his head and looked at his face.
His face was very white, so white that it was almost transparent, with a feeling of paleness that rarely sees sunlight.
Coupled with his pair of cloudy eyes, people looked at his face and felt cold and cold.
"His Royal Highness, you are not sick..."
He sneered and nodded, "I died of illness. If I didn't die of illness, how could I escape his clutches, his eyeliner? Only when I die of illness can he let his guard down!"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the face of the former prince Li Ke, and tried hard to pick up the memory left by the princess.
The princess and Li Ke don't seem to be close friends, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other.
Li Ke also seems to be slightly dissatisfied with the former emperor's over-love of the princess, but he is a prince and doesn't pay too much attention to girls' affairs.
So the two people hardly have much intersection.
"My father was kind to the princess, and the princess still remembers that my father was killed by the current sage, didn't you feel sorry for him?" Li Ke said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed her lips, "I'm just a little lady, and now I'm not even the princess of Shouchang, what can I do for the late emperor?"
"As long as you have the heart, why don't you worry about being filial to the late emperor?" Li Ke looked at her with burning eyes.
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his head and hummed.
"I heard that you have already given birth to a son for General Jing? It is for you that General Jing dared to offend the emperor and refuse to marry?" Li Ke laughed.
He raised his foot and moved a few steps closer to Xiao Yuzhuo.
That gloomy aura, as he approached, seemed to envelop everyone at once.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help taking two steps back.
Li Ke's speed is faster.
He approached her, stopped a step away, lowered his head slightly, and squinted at her face.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt nervous being stared at by him.
His gloomy eyes really make people shudder.
But Li Ke chuckled, and his eyes rolled over her cheeks, "When my cousin was not out of the cabinet, she looked very young, but now it seems that she hasn't opened her eyes at that time? Now After marrying a woman and having a child, she really opened her face, her face is fair and pink, I really want someone to pinch her! No wonder General Jing is willing to disrespect for you."
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, Li Ke's gaze made people feel uncomfortable.
"Prince Xiang, he took my father's throne and took your title of Princess Shouchang. Why don't you help me persuade General Jing to use it for me, and I will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, so that you will be more honored and favored than before. , how?" Li Ke said, looking at Xiao Yuzhuo with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo sneered slightly in his heart, but remained calm, "Jing Yannian is stubborn, how can I convince him?"
"Now that the woman and son he loves are in the hands of himself alone, who is he loyal to? Doesn't he have to weigh it carefully? When he seized the throne from my father, he worked hard for King Xiang for the sake of glory and wealth. Now for How could he not turn against his own wife and children?" Li Ke snorted softly.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, but couldn't help defending Jing Yannian.
At that time, he didn't know that King Xiang was his biological father, but he was willing to be loyal to King Xiang, not for the sake of glory and wealth!But I think King Xiang will be a wise king.
But now, he already knew that King Xiang was his father, so it was even more impossible for him to betray King Xiang.
The first prince really made a wrong calculation.
"You are right." Xiao Yuzhuo nodded slowly.
"Princess Shouchang thinks so too?" Li Ke smiled.
Xiao Yuzhuo bowed his head and remained silent.
"Go back and rest. I'll ask someone to test Jing Yannian secretly. Before news of him comes, I will ensure that my cousin is safe." Li Ke chuckled, "Your cousin can also think about it carefully. What can I say? You must tell General Jing, if you can persuade General Jing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, I will definitely remember my cousin's great contribution!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince."
Li Ke snorted lightly.
It seemed that the prince's name made him feel depressed.
Xiao Yuzhuo was sent back to the tent again.
Xiao Chongwu and Zhou Changkang were already playing happily on the bed in the tent.
No matter what the situation is, the child's heart is carefree.
Zhuxiang frowned, "Lady, I know it's..."
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand too much and pointed outside.
Zhuxiang immediately stood at the door, listening to the movement outside.
Inside the tent, Xiao Chongwu and Zhou Changkang were laughing and playing, their voices were noisy.
The people outside listened for a while, but failed to find out anything.
Zhu Xiang nodded and returned to Xiao Yuzhuo's side.
With the noisy voices of the two children, the voices of several adults were not easily detected by outsiders.
"Now it seems that there must be something strange about the cooperation between Li Tai and Mr. Yun. No wonder they were separated so quickly. Their hearts are not in the same place, but they have their own plans." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
"Didn't Mr. Yun want to help the king, like Lu Buwei who helped the King of Qin?" Mei Xiang asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Young Master Yun is the former Crown Prince Li Ke."
He wants to be a king himself, how can he support others?
The maids were all taken aback.
This answer seems to be very unexpected, but also seems to be the case.
The strange last edict before, the first prince... all make sense now.
"First the crown prince arrested the lady because he wanted to..."
Before Zhuxiang could finish speaking, Meixiang interrupted, "Are you going to use my lady and Mr. Xiaolang to threaten General Jing to defect?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
"General Jing has been loyal to the current Holy Majesty from the very beginning, how can he be like a grass on the wall? Now that he is asked to support the former prince, he is afraid he will not?" Zhu Xiang said with a frown.
Even if the maids didn't know about Jing Yannian's relationship with the current Holy Majesty, they concluded that he would not turn against him.
Originally, it had nothing to do with Xiao Yuzhuo who became the emperor, but after seeing Li Ke now, she also felt that if Li Ke were to sit on the throne, the whole world would be devastated and the people would be in dire straits.
He seemed too gloomy.
Perhaps the long-term repression and hatred accumulated and fermented in his heart, his mind has been distorted, right?
"Of course Xiuyuan will not turn against him, and we can't sit still or wait for the former prince to scheme against him." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
"The servant girl contacted the people from the Tongmenghui, let the Tongmenghui organize manpower to rescue the lady and Mr. Xiaolang out?" Zhuxiang said immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The prince didn't know about the Tongmenghui, nor did he know about my relationship with the Changqing Gang and the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. Now that the Tongmenghui is called to take action, although it will make him defenseless, it has exposed my details. We would be more dangerous."
Zhuxiang frowned.
Ju Xiang also said at the side, "Good steel must be used on the blade. The lady has exposed her details before she arrives in Chang'an City. Wouldn't it make the Holy Majesty even more wary of the lady?"
Both Zhuxiang and Meixiang looked at Juxiang.
So recently, Ju Xiang, who feels silent, is getting smarter?
"Then what can you do?" Mei Xiang bumped Ju Xiang with her elbow.
Ju Xiang narrowed her eyes and said, "Zhu Xiang left a secret signal along the way. If the Alliance has already found out the place where the troops are stationed, they can lead the imperial soldiers and horses to come. Ask the imperial soldiers and horses to directly face the former prince's soldiers and horses, so that there is no need to compromise The power of the Tongmenghui will not let people know the details of the lady. Our own people saw the right time and secretly caught them by surprise, such as burning their food and grass, and protecting the lady Xiaolangjun, that's all!"
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang couldn't help but look at Ju Xiang with admiration.
Xiao Yuzhuo had a smile on his face, with eyes of admiration, "Ju Xiang can be called our female Zhuge."
Ju Xiang blushed, "It's presumptuous to say, the lady still laughs at the maidservant!"
"Let's do it like this, Zhuxiang finds a way to pass the news, don't let the former prince find out." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered in a low voice.
At first the prince was on guard against her, even when a few servant girls went to use the toilet in the forest, soldiers followed from afar.
Thinking they were following too closely, Mei Xiang scolded them.
Looking at their wolf-like eyes, if it wasn't for the first prince who wanted to use Xiao Yuzhuo and told them not to touch these maids and servants for the time being, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stay here whole.
With a dark face, Zhu Xiang picked up a few stones and drove them away.
Seeing that people were far away, Zhu Xiang imitated the singing of birds, and gave the signal "chirp".
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang kept staring at those soldiers, lest they find any doubts.
There were birds in this forest, and the bamboo fragrance was so vivid that they didn't notice it.
Zhuxiang waited for a while, but there was no reply signal.
She was a little anxious.
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang couldn't understand their code, and looked at her anxiously.
But seeing the anxious look on Zhuxiang's face, they were even more anxious than her.
"Maybe it's... not being able to keep up?" Zhu Xiang whispered.
She was about to learn how to sing birds again.
Suddenly, several clear "chirp chirps" sounded across the forest.
The voice was so loud that those soldiers were startled to follow the prestige.
But I saw fluttering, just a few bright-colored birds flying from the branches.
The soldiers turned away with a smile, discussing when to shoot some birds and roast them.
Zhuxiang pressed her heart, and when those soldiers looked over, her nervous heart almost jumped out.
She calmed down, "Jiujiu" intermittently calling the code.
"Are you ready?" The soldiers approached while urging.
Mei Xiang immediately yelled, "If you get any closer, tell my wife, and ask my wife to tell your master!"
The soldier snorted disdainfully, "I really think I'm a dish!"
Although the tone was disdainful, they still stopped.
The chirping of the birds in the forest seemed to be aroused, and the chattering was extremely lively at the moment.
Zhuxiang listened for a while, with a smile on her face, she nodded to the other two.
The maids packed everything up and went back to the tent.
The expected waiting time seemed extremely long and unbearable.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Chongwu, and could not help being distracted, listening to the movement outside the tent, in a daze.
After two nights, everyone in the camp except the night watch fell asleep.
There is a commotion in the mutual listening camp.
Xiao Yuzhuo fell into a light sleep, and immediately opened his eyes.
Since the news spread, she has almost slept with her clothes on for the past two nights.
Fortunately, this summer, the clothes are also thin.
She immediately jumped up from the bed and woke up the nanny to dress Xiao Chongwu and Zhou Changkang.
Across the camp tent, it seemed that the flames soaring into the sky could be seen outside.
There were hurried footsteps coming towards their camp.
Zhuxiang's voice sounded outside the tent, "Protect the lady—"
The guards of the Yufu led by Xiao Yuzhuo and his party gathered outside the camp to protect them, so as not to let anyone come and take Xiao Yuzhuo and Xiao Langjun away.
It's a mess outside right now.
Can't tell who it is.
Originally thinking that the first prince would not have too many troops here, if the imperial court had strong troops, they might be able to capture the first prince.
But I never thought that the war would be stalemate.
For a while, the prince's resistance was extremely tenacious, and the outcome was hard to tell.
If it weren't for the secret assistance of the soldiers and horses of the Tongmenghui, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would almost have been defeated.
When Zhu Xiang was secretly anxious outside the tent, she suddenly saw reinforcements from the court soldiers and horses arriving.
Overwhelmed the first prince's soldiers and horses.
The first prince's soldiers and horses had to withdraw to the mountains.
Before the prince left, he wanted to take Xiao Yuzhuo and Xiao Langjun away.
Naturally, Zhuxiang and the others couldn't let him succeed, they fought desperately, and secretly had people from the Tongmenghui to help.
The first prince was in chaos, so saving his life was the most important thing.
He had no choice but to go away regretting that he failed to capture Xiao Yuzhuo and Jing Yannian's son.
After the former crown prince's troops withdrew into the mountain, a group of court soldiers from Mali did not go after the former crown prince, but escorted Xiao Yuzhuo and others out of the place where the troops were stationed.
Xiao Yuzhuo and the others only considered that the imperial court wanted to bring her back to Chang'an, since they got rid of the former crown prince and did not expose the Tongmenghui, then let's go.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party followed the court soldiers and horses back to the main road.
It never occurred to her that the imperial soldiers and horses did not escort her to the direction of Chang'an, but went all the way south.
Before dawn, the group of people was in a hurry, but they didn't see clearly.
When the sky was bright, Xiao Yuzhuo realized something was wrong, and told his group to stop.
"The holy decree ordered me to go back to Chang'an, but I don't see the direction to Chang'an?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"Lady, the situation in Chang'an is tense and not safe. I am ordered by the general to escort the lady south." The general said.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Which general's army is this?"
"Of course it's the general who misses my wife the most!" The general who answered this time was clever.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "General Jing is in Chang'an now, the Holy Majesty has promised to let the past go, why does he ask me to go south now?"
When the Holy Majesty did not promise to let the past go, Jing Yannian was still in a hurry to call himself back to Chang'an.
He was conceited that he couldn't protect her. Now that the Holy Majesty has restored her title of princess, how could he still tell him to go south?
"My lady doesn't know something. The situation in Chang'an is tense. General Jing is worried about my lady's safety!" The general said anxiously, "Young lady, hurry up and get on the road, don't delay here!"
Seeing his anxious look, Xiao Yuzhuo refused to leave, "If you don't make it clear, how do I know whether you are General Jing's man or not? If you have other plans, I will leave with you for no reason. Isn't it just right?" Is it really in danger? I can't just step out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den?"
The general's face was ugly, "Why doesn't my lady know good people? I risked my life to rescue my lady from the army of the abolished prince. How could I be a den of wolves? Are there such benevolent wolves?"
The general saw that no matter what he said, Xiao Yuzhuo and his party refused to go on the road.
He wanted to use force, Xiao Yuzhuo's men and horses immediately put on an attacking stance.
During the night attack last night, he saw it with his own eyes. Don't look at the number of people around this lady, but when it comes to fighting, everyone is a master!There are so many people in the prince, it is impossible to get close to her tent!
If there was a fight, such a delay on the road would really cause the rest of the troops to catch up, and they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to!
The general turned back in a hurry, and after a while the general came with another person.
The general who spoke earlier seemed to be a lieutenant general, but now the one walking ahead of him and approaching Xiao Yuzhuo's carriage is the real chief general.
"Lady!" The man clapped his hands outside the car.
When Xiao Yuzhuo saw him, he immediately understood.
"Yuan Jiangtao! Why did you rob my wife?!" Mei Xiang yelled at him, lifting the curtain.
Yuan Jiangtao frowned, "It will be dangerous for my lady to go to Chang'an. My lord is already trapped. He didn't think about getting out of trouble, but he left the humble official outside, and tried every means to send orders to the humble official to escort the lady away from Chang'an!"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Stay away from Chang'an? Doesn't that call me disrespectful?"
Yuan Jiangtao frowned.
"How long can I stay in hiding?" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head.
Yuan Jiangtao frowned, "Ji Wang said that the lady is in Wancheng, and the Holy Majesty dispatched my family's lord's manpower to Ji Wang. As long as the lady does not enter Chang'an, these people will kill her and have never seen the lady. The Holy Majesty can't do anything."
"Then what about those people who came to announce the decree and met my wife?" Mei Xiang asked with a blink of an eye.
"Among those people were King Ji's men. During the ambush by the former crown prince, most of them were killed or injured, and there are not many left. If they are killed, we can naturally hide the news from my wife." Yuan Jiangtao said.
Mei Xiang snorted softly, "According to what you say, my wife will have to hide for the rest of her life? Ji Wang said that the lady is alive, and the Holy Majesty can ask Ji Wang to send someone, so he believes Ji Wang's words. The world is big , Could it be Wang Tu, how long can my wife hide?"
Yuan Jiangtao frowned and did not speak.
"What's more, the first prince has also met my wife. The Yue King's people can kill me, but the first prince will not hide it for my wife? He is happy to see the father and son of the current emperor fighting!" Mei Xiang said, "If you It's really for your prince's good, now there should be no further discord between the Holy One and the King of Yue!"
(End of this chapter)
"Most of the soldiers and horses in Wancheng have been transferred away, and Wancheng is empty. If someone takes advantage of this time to attack Wancheng, peace will not be guaranteed." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
Liu Lanxue nodded, and went with Mei Xiang to tell the wet nurse.
The nanny thought about it again and again, remembering that General Zhou had told him before leaving that if something happened to him, he would send Mr. Xiaolang to Yu Niangzi.
Although there is no news about the general now, since Yu Niangzi said so, there must be a reason.
The nanny took Zhou Changkang and followed her on the road.
The group was escorted by imperial soldiers and horses, and headed towards Chang'an.
Back then, he feigned death from Chang'an, and was brought to Wancheng by the King of Yue hidden in a chariot and horse.
Today, he was escorted by imperial soldiers and horses again, and went to Chang'an.
Come and go, the mood is really different.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Xiao Yuzhuo's mind couldn't help but drift far away. The green scenery was everywhere, and the cicadas were constantly singing, but one couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
"To be honest, I really miss Chang'an a little bit, and I don't know if Chang'an has changed now?" Mei Xiang whispered.
Zhuxiang nodded, but there was some joy on her face.She was probably looking forward to returning to Chang'an in her heart.
Ju Xiang's face was faint, she lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside the window, and let the hot wind blow across her cheeks.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the child sleeping in the nurse's arms, and couldn't help feeling soft in his heart.
The chariots and horses were passing through the pass in the mountains, when suddenly there was the sound of soldiers and horses chaotically in front of them.
The carriage of Xiao Yuzhuo and his party also shook violently.
Zhuxiang reacted quickly, stood up quickly, leaned out of the carriage with her upper body, and looked forward.
Suddenly, there was smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and the sound of shouting and killing.
Zhuxiang's expression was startled, "Turn the car around quickly! Pull back!"
The coachman immediately turned around.
But their carriages are extremely large, but the road at this pass is very narrow, and there is enough to drive, but it is very difficult and slow to turn around.
"I'm afraid there is an ambush ahead!" Zhu Xiang retreated into the carriage and said with a serious face.
"Then what should I do?" Mei Xiang's heart tightened, she looked at Xiao Yuzhuo, and then at Chong Wu in the nurse's arms.
The coachman and the guards at the side worked together to finally turn the carriage and horses around.
It's a pity that he didn't run very far before he was intercepted.
"I'm afraid someone has ambushed here long ago! Deliberately intercepting the troops." Zhu Xiang went down to look around, then came back and said.
Both front and back were flanked by ambushes.
The carriage and horses that Xiao Yuzhuo and his party were riding on happened to be stuck in the middle.
There is no fork in the middle section, and they can only escape by climbing the mountain unless they abandon their car and hike.
"The mountains on both sides look high and steep. If you abandon your car and climb the mountains, you will be trapped in the mountains!" Mei Xiang said with a frown as she looked at the mountains on both sides.
If the soldiers hide in the mountains, they may be able to escape by luck.
But most of them were women and children, and they were afraid that they would be captured before they hid in the mountains.
"I looked at the attack from front to back, but our group in the middle was not attacked?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Zhu Xiang nodded again and again, "It seems to have specifically avoided the section between us, as if to capture alive."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Abandoning the car and fleeing to the mountains is also dead, just wait. Wait and see who ambushed here, who is it?"
Xiao Yuzhuo comforted everyone with a calm expression, not to join the fighting army, so as not to be affected by the flames of war.
There is no need to abandon the car in a hurry and flee to the mountains.
Since it was an ambush, and there were soldiers and horses in front and behind, the possibility of them fleeing to the mountains must also be taken into account.
The ambush lasted for nearly an hour before the fighting ceased.
Of the two thousand soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, except for those who died in battle, the rest had scattered and fled.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party were thrown alone in the mountain pass.
The smoke and dust fell slowly.
The pass is eerily silent.
There were no soldiers and horses in sight, only corpses lying on the ground, and the lingering bloody aura.
"My lady, what should I do? Just wait like this?" Zhu Xiang stood outside the carriage.
This situation makes people feel flustered.
The ambushing people didn't show up at the moment, and they stopped on the road with their cars and horses, not daring to move.
I'm afraid that if I move, I will shoot a cold arrow from somewhere.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and thought for a moment, then she opened the curtain to get out of the carriage.
Zhu Xiang hurriedly stood in front of her, "Miss, be careful!"
Xiao Yuzhuo stood on the shaft of the chariot, looking left and right.
There seems to be a faint mist in the mountain forest, reflecting the sun, but it is not clear.
Suddenly there was laughter from the forest, "Is the Princess Shouchang below?"
Zhuxiang immediately blocked Xiao Yuzhuo and looked into the forest where the voice came from.
Fortunately, they stayed in the car just now and didn't move, nor did they run into the forest.
Sure enough, people were ambushed in the forest.
"Since it was an ambush to intercept, I must have inquired about it long ago, why bother to ask?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"I don't intend to hurt the princess, but I just want to save the princess from the fangs of the court, and please come with us!" The man's voice fell to the ground.
Many soldiers appeared when the fog in the forest was neutral.
They ran down the forest, cleared the battlefield, and led Xiao Yuzhuo's carriage through the pass.
There is a roadblock in front of the pass, and vehicles and horses cannot pass through.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party got off the car and walked across the obstacle.
Xiao Zhong took a heavy nap, but Zhou Changkang burst into tears.
The nanny coaxed nervously.
After passing through the roadblock, I realized that there were several light and nimble carriages waiting ahead.
Xiao Yuzhuo and the others had no choice but to ride in this light carriage separately.
The carriage left the main road and galloped towards the side road.
"My lady, do you want to give a secret signal so that the League will rescue you?" Zhuxiang secretly asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Just leave a mark and let them know where we are. Don't let them show up. They don't know who the other party is."
Zhuxiang nodded.
A party was taken into a remote wilderness.
It looks like a military camp here.
The place where soldiers are stationed is far away from towns and hidden in the wilderness, so it is not easy to be found.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party were taken into the barracks and guarded in the tent.
Zhou Changkang cried all the way, and now he stopped crying.
Xiao Chongwu suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes and looked around curiously. The child, fearless, jumped out of the nanny's arms and ran around in the strange tent.
"Keep an eye on him, don't tell him to go out!" Xiao Yuzhuo ordered.
She stood at the door of the tent and looked out along the crack of the door.
Listen carefully to the accent of the outsider.
"Mother, it's fun! It's fun! See Daddy!" Xiao Chongwu jumped up and down excitedly.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to him helplessly, "Don't make trouble, if you don't obey and run around, you will never see your father again, understand?"
Chong Wu nodded half understanding.
He just sat down obediently, took Zhou Changkang's hand and said, "Hey, don't make trouble..."
A general came in at the door.
The man stood at the door and glanced around the tent.Finally, his eyes fell on Xiao Yuzhuo.
"My master wants to see the princess, please come here."
Several servant girls immediately stepped up to follow.
But the man stretched out his hand to stop him, "My master only sees the princess! The others stay in the camp, take a step and kill them!"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to them, "Take care of Mr. Xiao Lang."
After speaking, he left with the general.
After walking for a long distance, we arrived at the coach's camp.
The general shouted from outside the tent and asked Xiao Yuzhuo to come in.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt a little uneasy.
Who she will meet next, she has some guesses in her heart, but she is not sure.
The unknown is sometimes the most disturbing thing.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the tent.
The tent was divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
There was no one outside, and it was quiet.
"I don't know who the coach is? Why do you want to see me?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.
I only heard a light cough coming from the compartment, the voice was cold, and it made people feel shuddering.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
He heard footsteps coming out of the compartment.
She couldn't help but tighten her heart, and her gaze fell on the curtain of the inner and outer compartments.
A hand that was too fair was resting on the edge of the door curtain.
Slowly, the hand opened the door curtain.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared at the door curtain.
Behind the door curtain stood a thin figure with a cold and murderous look.
Xiao Yuzhuo opened his mouth, but did not speak yet.
The man stepped out from the inner room.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, only to see that the man had a big red face on his face.
The big face was painted fierce and mighty, blocking the whole face of the man, only a pair of eyes could be seen, and the cold light suddenly appeared.
"Young Master Yun?!" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help saying.
The man with the big face stood with his hands behind his back and looked at her coldly, "How does Princess Shouchang know that Gu is Mr. Yun?"
When he went to Wancheng to meet Liang Sheng, Xiao Yuzhuo secretly watched him in the cubicle.
Seeing him with such a red face at that time surprised her.
But he probably didn't see himself at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have just attacked Liang Sheng later.
"When I was in Chang'an, I once heard that Mr. Yun of Yunding Casino is very mysterious. He never shows his true face to others. No one has seen his face. He only has a big red face, which reminds people of The brave and skilled King of Lanling." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
The man with the big face snorted, "The brave and capable King of Lanling? The reason why the King of Lanling took the big face to kill the enemy is because his face is too handsome and beautiful. He was worried that he would not have enough evil spirit to deter the enemy. And The reason why I have a big face alone is because I am worried that I will be too serious and show my true face, so that many people will not be able to sleep peacefully!"
His voice was cold, but quite powerful.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "But isn't there a lot of chaos now? There are those who fought for the former emperor and supported the former crown prince. There are also those who fight for the current emperor. I don't know who Mr. Yun is gathering troops here for?"
"Didn't Princess Shouchang ask this knowingly?" He sneered, "Prince Xiang seeks power and usurps the throne, disregarding blood and family ties, and wants to kill the heirs of the previous emperor. , naturally want to help the orthodox, and kill this treacherous villain who seeks power and usurp the throne! Avenge the late emperor, and avenge the late emperor's heirs!"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head when he heard him proclaiming himself, "I am no longer the princess of Shouchang."
Mr. Yun suddenly laughed, "Why not? The late emperor personally named you the Princess of Shouchang, and the late Emperor will not dethrone you, you will always be the Princess of Shouchang!"
"The current Holy Majesty hates me, he has already stripped me of my title and taken back my fief." Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.
Mr. Yun was very excited when he heard the words, "He is just a traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne! How could he have the right to abolish the grace of the late emperor! He also broke up you and General Jing! As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy one family! Back then The late emperor showed so much favor and favor to Princess Shouchang, even the princess is not as honored and favored by Princess Shouchang! Princess Shouchang was really entrapped by King Xiang, who deceived the world and robbed the country!"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes, pinched his sleeves and touched the corners of his eyes, "Oh...it's all over, so don't mention it."
"Now Princess Shouchang is hiding in Wancheng, and he has swallowed his anger. He never thought that he would take Princess Shouchang back to Chang'an! He has no kindness at all, but just wants to arrest you and use you to threaten General Jing! "Young Master Yun said angrily.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "He is the king, we are the people, the king has orders, why dare not obey?"
"If the former emperor was still here, no one would allow someone to insult Princess Shouchang like this!" Mr. Yun said generously.
Xiao Yuzhuo whimpered twice, "There is probably no one in this world who treats me as well as Uncle."
"Cousin don't cry!" Mr. Yun suddenly raised his hand to remove the big red face.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly raised his head and looked at his face.
His face was very white, so white that it was almost transparent, with a feeling of paleness that rarely sees sunlight.
Coupled with his pair of cloudy eyes, people looked at his face and felt cold and cold.
"His Royal Highness, you are not sick..."
He sneered and nodded, "I died of illness. If I didn't die of illness, how could I escape his clutches, his eyeliner? Only when I die of illness can he let his guard down!"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the face of the former prince Li Ke, and tried hard to pick up the memory left by the princess.
The princess and Li Ke don't seem to be close friends, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other.
Li Ke also seems to be slightly dissatisfied with the former emperor's over-love of the princess, but he is a prince and doesn't pay too much attention to girls' affairs.
So the two people hardly have much intersection.
"My father was kind to the princess, and the princess still remembers that my father was killed by the current sage, didn't you feel sorry for him?" Li Ke said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed her lips, "I'm just a little lady, and now I'm not even the princess of Shouchang, what can I do for the late emperor?"
"As long as you have the heart, why don't you worry about being filial to the late emperor?" Li Ke looked at her with burning eyes.
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his head and hummed.
"I heard that you have already given birth to a son for General Jing? It is for you that General Jing dared to offend the emperor and refuse to marry?" Li Ke laughed.
He raised his foot and moved a few steps closer to Xiao Yuzhuo.
That gloomy aura, as he approached, seemed to envelop everyone at once.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help taking two steps back.
Li Ke's speed is faster.
He approached her, stopped a step away, lowered his head slightly, and squinted at her face.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt nervous being stared at by him.
His gloomy eyes really make people shudder.
But Li Ke chuckled, and his eyes rolled over her cheeks, "When my cousin was not out of the cabinet, she looked very young, but now it seems that she hasn't opened her eyes at that time? Now After marrying a woman and having a child, she really opened her face, her face is fair and pink, I really want someone to pinch her! No wonder General Jing is willing to disrespect for you."
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, Li Ke's gaze made people feel uncomfortable.
"Prince Xiang, he took my father's throne and took your title of Princess Shouchang. Why don't you help me persuade General Jing to use it for me, and I will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, so that you will be more honored and favored than before. , how?" Li Ke said, looking at Xiao Yuzhuo with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo sneered slightly in his heart, but remained calm, "Jing Yannian is stubborn, how can I convince him?"
"Now that the woman and son he loves are in the hands of himself alone, who is he loyal to? Doesn't he have to weigh it carefully? When he seized the throne from my father, he worked hard for King Xiang for the sake of glory and wealth. Now for How could he not turn against his own wife and children?" Li Ke snorted softly.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, but couldn't help defending Jing Yannian.
At that time, he didn't know that King Xiang was his biological father, but he was willing to be loyal to King Xiang, not for the sake of glory and wealth!But I think King Xiang will be a wise king.
But now, he already knew that King Xiang was his father, so it was even more impossible for him to betray King Xiang.
The first prince really made a wrong calculation.
"You are right." Xiao Yuzhuo nodded slowly.
"Princess Shouchang thinks so too?" Li Ke smiled.
Xiao Yuzhuo bowed his head and remained silent.
"Go back and rest. I'll ask someone to test Jing Yannian secretly. Before news of him comes, I will ensure that my cousin is safe." Li Ke chuckled, "Your cousin can also think about it carefully. What can I say? You must tell General Jing, if you can persuade General Jing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, I will definitely remember my cousin's great contribution!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince."
Li Ke snorted lightly.
It seemed that the prince's name made him feel depressed.
Xiao Yuzhuo was sent back to the tent again.
Xiao Chongwu and Zhou Changkang were already playing happily on the bed in the tent.
No matter what the situation is, the child's heart is carefree.
Zhuxiang frowned, "Lady, I know it's..."
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand too much and pointed outside.
Zhuxiang immediately stood at the door, listening to the movement outside.
Inside the tent, Xiao Chongwu and Zhou Changkang were laughing and playing, their voices were noisy.
The people outside listened for a while, but failed to find out anything.
Zhu Xiang nodded and returned to Xiao Yuzhuo's side.
With the noisy voices of the two children, the voices of several adults were not easily detected by outsiders.
"Now it seems that there must be something strange about the cooperation between Li Tai and Mr. Yun. No wonder they were separated so quickly. Their hearts are not in the same place, but they have their own plans." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
"Didn't Mr. Yun want to help the king, like Lu Buwei who helped the King of Qin?" Mei Xiang asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Young Master Yun is the former Crown Prince Li Ke."
He wants to be a king himself, how can he support others?
The maids were all taken aback.
This answer seems to be very unexpected, but also seems to be the case.
The strange last edict before, the first prince... all make sense now.
"First the crown prince arrested the lady because he wanted to..."
Before Zhuxiang could finish speaking, Meixiang interrupted, "Are you going to use my lady and Mr. Xiaolang to threaten General Jing to defect?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
"General Jing has been loyal to the current Holy Majesty from the very beginning, how can he be like a grass on the wall? Now that he is asked to support the former prince, he is afraid he will not?" Zhu Xiang said with a frown.
Even if the maids didn't know about Jing Yannian's relationship with the current Holy Majesty, they concluded that he would not turn against him.
Originally, it had nothing to do with Xiao Yuzhuo who became the emperor, but after seeing Li Ke now, she also felt that if Li Ke were to sit on the throne, the whole world would be devastated and the people would be in dire straits.
He seemed too gloomy.
Perhaps the long-term repression and hatred accumulated and fermented in his heart, his mind has been distorted, right?
"Of course Xiuyuan will not turn against him, and we can't sit still or wait for the former prince to scheme against him." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice.
"The servant girl contacted the people from the Tongmenghui, let the Tongmenghui organize manpower to rescue the lady and Mr. Xiaolang out?" Zhuxiang said immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The prince didn't know about the Tongmenghui, nor did he know about my relationship with the Changqing Gang and the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. Now that the Tongmenghui is called to take action, although it will make him defenseless, it has exposed my details. We would be more dangerous."
Zhuxiang frowned.
Ju Xiang also said at the side, "Good steel must be used on the blade. The lady has exposed her details before she arrives in Chang'an City. Wouldn't it make the Holy Majesty even more wary of the lady?"
Both Zhuxiang and Meixiang looked at Juxiang.
So recently, Ju Xiang, who feels silent, is getting smarter?
"Then what can you do?" Mei Xiang bumped Ju Xiang with her elbow.
Ju Xiang narrowed her eyes and said, "Zhu Xiang left a secret signal along the way. If the Alliance has already found out the place where the troops are stationed, they can lead the imperial soldiers and horses to come. Ask the imperial soldiers and horses to directly face the former prince's soldiers and horses, so that there is no need to compromise The power of the Tongmenghui will not let people know the details of the lady. Our own people saw the right time and secretly caught them by surprise, such as burning their food and grass, and protecting the lady Xiaolangjun, that's all!"
Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang couldn't help but look at Ju Xiang with admiration.
Xiao Yuzhuo had a smile on his face, with eyes of admiration, "Ju Xiang can be called our female Zhuge."
Ju Xiang blushed, "It's presumptuous to say, the lady still laughs at the maidservant!"
"Let's do it like this, Zhuxiang finds a way to pass the news, don't let the former prince find out." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered in a low voice.
At first the prince was on guard against her, even when a few servant girls went to use the toilet in the forest, soldiers followed from afar.
Thinking they were following too closely, Mei Xiang scolded them.
Looking at their wolf-like eyes, if it wasn't for the first prince who wanted to use Xiao Yuzhuo and told them not to touch these maids and servants for the time being, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stay here whole.
With a dark face, Zhu Xiang picked up a few stones and drove them away.
Seeing that people were far away, Zhu Xiang imitated the singing of birds, and gave the signal "chirp".
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang kept staring at those soldiers, lest they find any doubts.
There were birds in this forest, and the bamboo fragrance was so vivid that they didn't notice it.
Zhuxiang waited for a while, but there was no reply signal.
She was a little anxious.
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang couldn't understand their code, and looked at her anxiously.
But seeing the anxious look on Zhuxiang's face, they were even more anxious than her.
"Maybe it's... not being able to keep up?" Zhu Xiang whispered.
She was about to learn how to sing birds again.
Suddenly, several clear "chirp chirps" sounded across the forest.
The voice was so loud that those soldiers were startled to follow the prestige.
But I saw fluttering, just a few bright-colored birds flying from the branches.
The soldiers turned away with a smile, discussing when to shoot some birds and roast them.
Zhuxiang pressed her heart, and when those soldiers looked over, her nervous heart almost jumped out.
She calmed down, "Jiujiu" intermittently calling the code.
"Are you ready?" The soldiers approached while urging.
Mei Xiang immediately yelled, "If you get any closer, tell my wife, and ask my wife to tell your master!"
The soldier snorted disdainfully, "I really think I'm a dish!"
Although the tone was disdainful, they still stopped.
The chirping of the birds in the forest seemed to be aroused, and the chattering was extremely lively at the moment.
Zhuxiang listened for a while, with a smile on her face, she nodded to the other two.
The maids packed everything up and went back to the tent.
The expected waiting time seemed extremely long and unbearable.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Chongwu, and could not help being distracted, listening to the movement outside the tent, in a daze.
After two nights, everyone in the camp except the night watch fell asleep.
There is a commotion in the mutual listening camp.
Xiao Yuzhuo fell into a light sleep, and immediately opened his eyes.
Since the news spread, she has almost slept with her clothes on for the past two nights.
Fortunately, this summer, the clothes are also thin.
She immediately jumped up from the bed and woke up the nanny to dress Xiao Chongwu and Zhou Changkang.
Across the camp tent, it seemed that the flames soaring into the sky could be seen outside.
There were hurried footsteps coming towards their camp.
Zhuxiang's voice sounded outside the tent, "Protect the lady—"
The guards of the Yufu led by Xiao Yuzhuo and his party gathered outside the camp to protect them, so as not to let anyone come and take Xiao Yuzhuo and Xiao Langjun away.
It's a mess outside right now.
Can't tell who it is.
Originally thinking that the first prince would not have too many troops here, if the imperial court had strong troops, they might be able to capture the first prince.
But I never thought that the war would be stalemate.
For a while, the prince's resistance was extremely tenacious, and the outcome was hard to tell.
If it weren't for the secret assistance of the soldiers and horses of the Tongmenghui, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would almost have been defeated.
When Zhu Xiang was secretly anxious outside the tent, she suddenly saw reinforcements from the court soldiers and horses arriving.
Overwhelmed the first prince's soldiers and horses.
The first prince's soldiers and horses had to withdraw to the mountains.
Before the prince left, he wanted to take Xiao Yuzhuo and Xiao Langjun away.
Naturally, Zhuxiang and the others couldn't let him succeed, they fought desperately, and secretly had people from the Tongmenghui to help.
The first prince was in chaos, so saving his life was the most important thing.
He had no choice but to go away regretting that he failed to capture Xiao Yuzhuo and Jing Yannian's son.
After the former crown prince's troops withdrew into the mountain, a group of court soldiers from Mali did not go after the former crown prince, but escorted Xiao Yuzhuo and others out of the place where the troops were stationed.
Xiao Yuzhuo and the others only considered that the imperial court wanted to bring her back to Chang'an, since they got rid of the former crown prince and did not expose the Tongmenghui, then let's go.
Xiao Yuzhuo and his party followed the court soldiers and horses back to the main road.
It never occurred to her that the imperial soldiers and horses did not escort her to the direction of Chang'an, but went all the way south.
Before dawn, the group of people was in a hurry, but they didn't see clearly.
When the sky was bright, Xiao Yuzhuo realized something was wrong, and told his group to stop.
"The holy decree ordered me to go back to Chang'an, but I don't see the direction to Chang'an?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"Lady, the situation in Chang'an is tense and not safe. I am ordered by the general to escort the lady south." The general said.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Which general's army is this?"
"Of course it's the general who misses my wife the most!" The general who answered this time was clever.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "General Jing is in Chang'an now, the Holy Majesty has promised to let the past go, why does he ask me to go south now?"
When the Holy Majesty did not promise to let the past go, Jing Yannian was still in a hurry to call himself back to Chang'an.
He was conceited that he couldn't protect her. Now that the Holy Majesty has restored her title of princess, how could he still tell him to go south?
"My lady doesn't know something. The situation in Chang'an is tense. General Jing is worried about my lady's safety!" The general said anxiously, "Young lady, hurry up and get on the road, don't delay here!"
Seeing his anxious look, Xiao Yuzhuo refused to leave, "If you don't make it clear, how do I know whether you are General Jing's man or not? If you have other plans, I will leave with you for no reason. Isn't it just right?" Is it really in danger? I can't just step out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den?"
The general's face was ugly, "Why doesn't my lady know good people? I risked my life to rescue my lady from the army of the abolished prince. How could I be a den of wolves? Are there such benevolent wolves?"
The general saw that no matter what he said, Xiao Yuzhuo and his party refused to go on the road.
He wanted to use force, Xiao Yuzhuo's men and horses immediately put on an attacking stance.
During the night attack last night, he saw it with his own eyes. Don't look at the number of people around this lady, but when it comes to fighting, everyone is a master!There are so many people in the prince, it is impossible to get close to her tent!
If there was a fight, such a delay on the road would really cause the rest of the troops to catch up, and they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to!
The general turned back in a hurry, and after a while the general came with another person.
The general who spoke earlier seemed to be a lieutenant general, but now the one walking ahead of him and approaching Xiao Yuzhuo's carriage is the real chief general.
"Lady!" The man clapped his hands outside the car.
When Xiao Yuzhuo saw him, he immediately understood.
"Yuan Jiangtao! Why did you rob my wife?!" Mei Xiang yelled at him, lifting the curtain.
Yuan Jiangtao frowned, "It will be dangerous for my lady to go to Chang'an. My lord is already trapped. He didn't think about getting out of trouble, but he left the humble official outside, and tried every means to send orders to the humble official to escort the lady away from Chang'an!"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Stay away from Chang'an? Doesn't that call me disrespectful?"
Yuan Jiangtao frowned.
"How long can I stay in hiding?" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head.
Yuan Jiangtao frowned, "Ji Wang said that the lady is in Wancheng, and the Holy Majesty dispatched my family's lord's manpower to Ji Wang. As long as the lady does not enter Chang'an, these people will kill her and have never seen the lady. The Holy Majesty can't do anything."
"Then what about those people who came to announce the decree and met my wife?" Mei Xiang asked with a blink of an eye.
"Among those people were King Ji's men. During the ambush by the former crown prince, most of them were killed or injured, and there are not many left. If they are killed, we can naturally hide the news from my wife." Yuan Jiangtao said.
Mei Xiang snorted softly, "According to what you say, my wife will have to hide for the rest of her life? Ji Wang said that the lady is alive, and the Holy Majesty can ask Ji Wang to send someone, so he believes Ji Wang's words. The world is big , Could it be Wang Tu, how long can my wife hide?"
Yuan Jiangtao frowned and did not speak.
"What's more, the first prince has also met my wife. The Yue King's people can kill me, but the first prince will not hide it for my wife? He is happy to see the father and son of the current emperor fighting!" Mei Xiang said, "If you It's really for your prince's good, now there should be no further discord between the Holy One and the King of Yue!"
