Chapter 587: Into the Enemy Camp
Zhan Beixiao walked all the way out of the city gate and headed straight to the outskirts of the city.
Zhan Beixiao couldn't explain his current mood. When he saw the letter, he rushed out, even though he knew in his heart that it was probably a trap.
"Who?" Zhan Beixiao stopped his horse where he was and shouted around.
There was only the sound of leaves falling in the forest, and there was no human figure at all.
"Come out." Zhan Beixiao's voice was calm. This man had already followed him all the way. He had already noticed his presence when he left the city gate.
"Your Majesty." Liu Ying stepped out and half-knelt in front of Zhan Beixiao.
Zhan Beixiao held the horse's reins tightly, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm worried about you, please forgive me." Liu Ying lowered his head and apologized to Zhan Beixiao.
Zhan Beixiao glanced not far away. He could now see the tents of the military camp.
"Go back." Zhan Beixiao ordered, "The letter said that I should go alone."
"Your Highness." Liu Ying wanted to say something else, but an arrow suddenly shot through the air and shot straight towards Zhan Beixiao.
Zhan Beixiao turned sideways slightly and inserted the arrow into the tree stump next to him.
Liu Ying stepped forward and pulled out the arrow. There was a letter on it.
"Your Majesty." Liu Ying respectfully handed the letter to Zhan Beixiao.
Zhan Beixiao opened the letter, read the contents clearly, and frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty." Liu Ying glanced at Zhan Beixiao worriedly.
"He wanted us to enter the tent, saying that Father is in the main tent."
Liu Ying hurriedly said to Zhan Beixiao, "My lord, this is a trap."
"I know it's a trap, but we're already here. Do you think there's still a way out?"
Zhan Beixiao waved his hand, "You and I can go there together. Since we are all here, they already know your existence."
"Yes, I am willing to live and die with the prince." Liu Ying stood up with a smile on his face.
"My lord, be careful." Liu Ying stood by Zhan Beixiao's side and looked around warily.
Zhan Beixiao shook his head, "It doesn't matter, this matter is probably a trap set by the Queen Mother, and the target is nothing more than my father and this king."
Liu Ying didn't speak, he just kept paying attention to his surroundings.
"Go in." Standing outside the camp, Zhan Beixiao looked straight at the middle tent. The note just now said that Emperor Xuantong was in the middle tent.
"Why is there no one here?" Liu Ying looked around. It was quiet, and it didn't look like there was a large army stationed at all.
"Let's go." Zhan Beixiao walked in slowly.
There was not a single guard along the way, and the two of them felt as if they were in a deserted place.
Liu Ying walked in front and helped Zhan Beixiao open the curtain.
Emperor Xuantong stood in front of his desk, in a daze.
"Lao Qi." Emperor Xuantong glanced at Zhan Beixiao in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Originally, he thought that Zhan Beixiao would not come due to his temperament and hatred towards him for so many years.
"You are the emperor of Tianling Kingdom." Zhan Beixiao still looked indifferent, but his eyes were very firm.
Emperor Xuantong sighed, "You shouldn't have come."
Zhan Beixiao stepped forward, untied the rope for Emperor Xuantong, and stood aside again.
Emperor Xuantong hesitated to speak and glanced at Zhan Beixiao, but finally said nothing.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the camp. Zhan Beixiao and Emperor Xuantong looked at each other, and the two of them left the camp together.
"Your Majesty? The Seventh Prince?" The soldier looked at the two people walking out of the tent in surprise, not knowing what happened.
Zhan Beixiao frowned slightly, looking at the soldiers, they seemed not to know what was going on.
"Come here, surround these two people!"
A powerful voice came over.
The soldiers looked at each other, but still surrounded a few people.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you capture these two people quickly!" Huang Dutong looked at the soldiers who were stunned and shouted.
This time a soldier hesitated and said, "But these are His Majesty and the Seventh Prince!"
"Nonsense!" Huang Dutong retorted loudly, "These two are just country thieves pretending to be His Majesty and the Seventh Prince!"
The soldiers around him still didn't make any move, because Huang Dutong's words were too unconvincing.
"Don't do anything yet!" Huang Dutong raised his voice and glared at the soldiers around him.
Zhan Beixiao protected Emperor Xuantong behind him, secretly feeling confident.
"What does Huang Dutong mean?" Zhan Beixiao walked forward slowly and looked directly at Huang Dutong.
Huang Dutong was frightened by Zhan Beixiao's aura and took a few steps back. He still pointed at Zhan Beixiao and cursed, "Rebel! How dare you pretend to be the Seventh Prince!"
Zhan Beixiao suddenly chuckled, "Then take a closer look at Huang Dutong and see who this king is!"
As he spoke, Zhan Beixiao looked at Huang Dutong with sharp eyes, and his tone became a little colder.
The surrounding soldiers lowered their heads. The man with such a strong aura must be the Seventh Prince.
"Impossible!" Huang Dutong still denied, "The Queen Mother's decree ordered me to lead the army to kill the rebels!"
Emperor Xuantong's expression froze slightly, and he sighed secretly, too late to take action.
Zhan Beixiao was very calm, and this was what he had expected. At this time, Nangong Ji would naturally not intervene, so the only one who was so anxious to kill them was the Queen Mother who was now listening behind the curtain.
"Huang Dutong is sure that this king is a fake?" Zhan Beixiao's expression remained unchanged and he looked at Huang Dutong.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Huang Dutong's forehead, but the edict he received was like this. Even though he was now almost certain that the two people in front of him were Emperor Xuantong and the Seventh Prince Zhan Beixiao, but thinking of the Queen Mother's promise,
Huang Dutong began to waver again.
The two people were facing each other, and neither of them spoke. The people around them lowered their heads and did not dare to interrupt.
Feng Qinghua asked Bai Shuang to take her all the way out of the government office.
"Bai Shuang, take the trail." Feng Qinghua leaned over and whispered in Bai Shuang's ear. She rashly rode a white tiger into the town, fearing that it would cause unnecessary panic. The situation was already chaotic enough. She
Never cause any more trouble.
"I'm not stupid." Bai Shuang rolled his eyes, but never stopped.
Feng Qinghua's face tightened and she touched Bai Shuang's head, "It's up to you."
It was rare for Feng Qinghua to be so formal, so Bai Shuang restrained his usual laziness and led Feng Qinghua directly into the woods, heading straight to the outskirts of the city.
Bai Shuang led Feng Qinghua through the woods and rushed forward on the path.
Wu Duzi looked at the two people running fast in front of him, whipped his riding whip again, "Drive!"
