From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 536 Running away without a fight

After hearing the order, the imperial guard immediately carried the fifth prince on their backs, and then they retreated to the back door under the protection of a group of people.

On a small road outside the back door, Zongzheng Mingzhen had indeed prepared horses and carriages for them, but there were too many of them, and there was simply not enough to ride them.Therefore, as soon as Prince Yong got to the side of the carriage, he stuffed the eighth prince in his hand into the carriage.

I have to say that holding him is too much of a hindrance, and I can't even stretch my arms and legs while holding the weapon.So, he decided to just throw him in the car and forget about it.

After all, only the six-year-old eighth prince cried out of fright, and it didn't matter that he couldn't help peeing his pants.When the sixth prince crawled in, he smelled a smell of urine, touched his nose in disgust, hugged him into his arms and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ba, Brother Six will protect you."

Brothers and sisters, even though he was not born by a mother, the sixth prince still loves him very much, and on weekdays he always follows behind and calls the six elder brothers, unlike the third prince, he still cares about brotherhood.

"Don't let them run away, chase, chase quickly." Moyeto yelled and picked up three guards with a gun, with a vicious move of gun piercing.Jiang Zhehan and the Ninth Prince dared not fight recklessly, jumped onto the horse and galloped away.

The fifth prince got into the carriage, and the imperial guards, who were carrying him on their backs, began to drive.With a crack of their long whips, the two horses pulling the cart ran away.

The road was bumpy and the carriage was running fast, the sixth prince felt like he was going to vomit after a while.It was really uncomfortable to roll in the stomach, he hugged the Eighth Prince tightly and said, "Fifth brother, fifth brother, I can't do it anymore, I'm afraid, I'm going to vomit."

Seeing fewer and fewer guards following the carriage and falling down one by one, he was terrified.He is still young, he wants to eat too much, he doesn't want to die, he wants to live.

The wound on his foot was excruciatingly painful, and with the constant bumping of the carriage, the fifth prince also felt that he was about to die.Short of breath and pale face, he tightly grasped the other hand of the Eighth Prince and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, we have many people and they are few, so it doesn't matter if they catch up to you. Xiaoba, you Don't cry, Fifth Brother will take you into the palace to find your mother and concubine in a while."

The eighth prince couldn't stop at a young age, wept like rain, and kept calling for help, mother and concubine, for help.

Seeing him crying louder and talking more and more, the fifth prince was anxious and angry, but the carriage was running so fast and bumped that he could barely sit still and had no time to comfort him.

Blame the emperor, blame Mei Xin, and even more blame Zongzheng Mingzhen for not protecting them well.He looked out through the curtain of the carriage blown by the wind, and saw that the Tartars were already chasing up and getting closer, he said with a wry smile: "It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. It seems that our brother's fate is counted today." I have to explain here. Sixth, if the carriage stops in a while, you can take Eighth and run into the mountains and forests, as far as you can, Fifth Brother will break the back for you."

Brothers, when it comes to life and death, he can't be a shrinking turtle, and the sixth and eighth are still young, so he has to stand up.

The sixth prince knew what it meant to be broken, and what it meant. His eyes were red and tears filled his eyes. His throat was choked up and he shook his head violently, "No, I don't want to. If we want to go, let's go together. If we want to die, we brothers will die together. Fifth Brother , I don't want to separate from you."

Love in the palace is thin, even among brothers and sisters, there are endless suspicions and calculations.Therefore, since he was a child, he has only been friends with Fifth Brother, and Fifth Brother also treats him sincerely.

It was the first time that he felt that death was so close, and the fifth prince was also full of fear.With tears streaming down his face, he remained silent, and after a while he nodded heavily.

The Eighth Prince was still young and didn't know what death meant, so he just kept crying.

The cloud in the carriage was gloomy and desolate, and the third and fourth princes who were riding wildly outside the carriage were not much better.Especially the cold arrows that rushed over from time to time made the two of them hard to guard against, and they were scared out of their wits.

"Lord Yong, running like this is not an option, the goal is too big, let's split up." Jiang Zhehan saw that the Tartars behind him were chasing after him, and kindly suggested.And the Ninth Prince who was tied to his chest couldn't see anything because his head was covered and didn't cry.

The third prince, Prince Yong, also knew that running like this was not an option, but he was terrified as the imperial guards fell one by one.Unwilling to be separated from the hidden guards, he said: "Okay, you take someone to lead them away, and we go on the main road."

The official road is easy to walk, which is convenient for carriages to enter and exit, and it is also convenient for horses to gallop faster.Therefore, he abandoned his younger brother, the Ninth Prince, without hesitation.

Although Jiang Zhehan had been traveling for many years, he also knew that the emperor's family was ruthless, and felt that the young Ninth Prince would surely die if he followed them, so he didn't say anything.Gently said a few words to the Ninth Prince to appease him, he slapped the dismounted horse a few times before turning to another path.

The imperial guards automatically divided into two, Jiang Zhehan led a group of people away, and the carriage in which Prince Yong and the fifth prince were riding also boarded the official road.

At the same time, the flames in Huangzhuang were raging, and Zi Chen, who had not yet found Mei Xin, saw the third prince and the others heading towards the capital. He was shocked and said, "Are they crazy? The Marquis asked me not to go back to the capital." Run in the direction you want, don’t go back, they don’t listen, they are going to die.”

The wolves were already waiting eight miles away, and Mei Xin had reminded her earlier, they didn't believe it, they were really crazy.

The seventh prince who was curled up in his arms was very worried, looked up at him and said, "Send someone to chase them, and send someone to notify uncle."

As the main person in charge of the safety of this trip, no matter which prince had an accident, Zongzheng Mingzhen could not escape punishment.Therefore, he couldn't just watch his brothers go to death.

Zi Chen also wanted to send someone to chase and stop them, but he needed someone.In order to protect the princes, Zongzheng Mingzhen left two-thirds of the people for them, but they were lucky, so they fled out as soon as they handed over.How afraid of death are they? If there are all deserters on the battlefield, they will all die.

Looking around, there was not a single hidden guard, and there were five or six of them left to protect the Seventh Prince.The most important thing is that they can't stop them even if they catch up now, and it's impossible for the third prince and the others to listen to his command.

After much deliberation, we should go to Mei Xin first, Zi Chen said: "It is impossible for the Marquis to not see such a big commotion, let's go to the eldest princess first. The eldest princess is surrounded by Mei's army, they must fight against the Tartars all year round. There is a way to save Prince Yong and the others."

The mission entrusted to him by Lord Hou is to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness, and to send him to the eldest princess safely.Right now he only has so many people, he is only responsible for the life and death of His Highness the Seventh Highness, as for other people's affairs which have nothing to do with him, he has no intention of doing anything.

Influenced by the empress, the seventh prince also admired the Mei family army very much. He had heard many heroic deeds about them since he was a child, and he nodded in agreement.
