Chapter 405 Provocation, the sins of the number one master

Zhu Yan, who was standing next to him, straightened up and looked at the prince.

Even Xiao San and the others raised their heads and looked across the fire at the young man covered in blood but with a straight back.

The prince signaled Xiao San and the others to get up.

Then he looked at the open space in front of him and recounted what happened after leaving the capital.

"The day after I left Beijing, I encountered an assassination attempt. No matter how I changed my route, the other party seemed to know it in advance and set up an ambush. However, because the army was accompanying them, they had few opportunities to take action, and it did not cause too much damage.

Big loss.”

"But then the assassinations became more frequent, which seriously hindered the movement of food and grass."

"I guessed that there was a traitor around me, but there were so many people accompanying me that it was difficult to investigate. In order not to delay the disaster relief work, and because I was worried about the situation in Jizhou, I took some soldiers and left first."

"It was indeed calm for the first three days, but as we approached the border of Jizhou, the assassins caught up with us again, and they came with ferocious force. In the first battle, more than half of the people accompanying us were injured."

Thinking of the hardships of those days, the prince's voice became deeper: "Then they chased me one after another with almost no gaps, forcing me into the hinterland of Liuyang County. I also took the opportunity to test, uncovered the traitor, and killed him.

He was executed on the spot, but by then the rebels had received the news and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign."

"That time...except for a few of the experts I brought from Shengjing, all of them were killed or injured."

The fighting was so brutal that even after a long time, the bloody scene would still appear in my dreams.

He could hear those familiar voices shouting "Your Highness, hurry up!" and could see the broken limbs and broken arms falling into the dirt, blood spattering and dyeing the sky red.

The son was just born, but the guards who followed him out of the capital had to block the knife for him. They hugged the killer's leg tightly and refused to let go even if the bones were broken.

She smiled at him with her face covered in blood.

Obviously he couldn't even remember this person's name, but he was tired of risking his life for himself. Every time he thought about it, he felt guilty.

The prince took a deep breath, his chest seemed to be squeezed by something, making it uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes for a moment to calm down, then faced everyone's probing eyes and continued: "Thanks to the help of the experts sent by He Qing, I was able to escape smoothly that time."

"That blood letter..."

Su Rao looked at his expression carefully. If the informants around him were eliminated, even though there were many enemies around him, as long as he was careful, he could still protect himself.

Unless something unexpected happens later.

Hearing this, a look of pain flashed across the prince's face, "The blood letter is written two days later. The rebels and the assassins will join forces to pursue us. We are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. It is difficult to fight a bloody way. Who knows..."

"Unexpectedly, the deputy commander of the guards beside me suddenly made a sneak attack..."

No defense!

Then they turned against each other, and most of the secret guards had to stay to deal with them, and they also had to stop the killers and pursuers...

"After the last person escorted me to escape into Yanle Mountain, he turned around to block the pursuing troops and never came back."

Everyone's hearts felt as if a huge stone had fallen, and there was a moment of silence.

Su Rao asked strangely: "Brother, have you never doubted the deputy commander?"

"It's embarrassing to say that Rong You was selected into the East Palace at the age of twelve. He has always been by my side to protect me all these years. He has been there for me through life and death. I trust him... extremely."

Until now, he still can't understand why Rong You rebelled!

This blow was not a big blow. Fortunately, the prince only mourned for a short time, and then he was no longer depressed and started talking again: "I was injured in my legs and feet at that time, and I received another slap. After walking for half a day, I couldn't hold on and passed out.

Go over and roll down the hillside."

"When I woke up again, I had been rescued by Miss Mu."

Everyone looked in the direction of Miss Mu. The latter heard her surname and turned around slowly. No emotion could be seen on her face, she still looked weak: "Master Shen's leg injury is serious, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the mountains. , I could only deal with it briefly at the time. He said he was being hunted and didn’t want to drag me down, but I had nowhere to go.”

"Two are better than one."

She lowered her eyes and looked in the direction of the prince, and said softly: "Fortunately, I often go into the mountains to collect herbs and am familiar with the terrain. If I hide here, no one can find me."

"Then how did you find out?"

Surao asked curiously.

"One year I climbed up the cliff to collect herbs, but I lost my grip and fell down. I fell into the pool I came in from. The current was too strong and rushed me into a secret passage. Later I found a chance to climb ashore and accidentally discovered this place. There is actually a different world."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Master Shen is also blessed by God and has great blessings. The water in this pool dries up in winter and freezes into ice, so we can walk in. Otherwise, his injury will be more troublesome if it gets wet."

After saying that, she stared at the blood-soaked cloth strips that she had just replaced, and said in a melancholy tone: "The wounds are already better, but it's all my fault. If I hadn't understood the situation, Mr. Shen wouldn't have fought against you, tearing them apart." Injured..."

"How can you blame the girl?"

The prince expressed comfort in a gentle voice: "It's just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart. The injury has been dealt with and he will recover slowly."

"Um."

Girl Mu nodded gently, her voice sounding like a mosquito.

At this time, Zhu Yan, who was standing aside, seemed particularly embarrassed. Hao Duan Duan asked what he was doing because of his injury. His Highness finally forgot about his act of seeking death. Now that he was fine, he threw him into the fire again.

"Just now I think I heard someone shouting that I was going to cut off His Highness's arm. I don't know who was so impudent..."

Xiao Qi scratched his head and pretended to look around: "Who is it? Why can't I remember it?"

Xiao San saw that the atmosphere was good and the prince was also a kind-hearted person, so he didn't stop him and kept his head buried in laughter.

Others couldn't help laughing.

What's more, he deliberately glanced in Zhuyan's direction. The Shadow Thorns were standing beside him, not moving an inch, showing no intention of helping.

Zhuyan had no way to ask for help, so he looked at Surao.

Su Rao touched the tip of her nose and glanced away. Seeing this, Zhu Yan looked like his biological father had died. He pursed his lips and looked at the prince in aggrieved manner, "Your Highness, please listen to my quibbles."

"you say."

The prince's voice was neither high nor low, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.

Zhu Yan couldn't understand his emotions, so he whispered: "Just now, my subordinates were also loyal to protect the master. If our girl gets a scratch, wouldn't it be the young master who feels sorry for her? Then I will die without redemption."

"Of course, I didn't know that I was facing His Highness at the time. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to say such treacherous words even if I had a hundred courages. Even if I cut off my own arm, I wouldn't dare to take action against you, Your Highness. "

"Your Excellency has a lot, so don't argue with this ignorant subordinate like you."

He clasped his hands together and rubbed his fingertips pitifully.

No arrogance at all.

This made everyone around him laugh so hard that their shoulders were shaking. If it hadn't been for the fact that the prince was in front of him and he couldn't break the etiquette, they would have leaned forward and clapped their hands in applause.

Surao has always been very confident in Zhuyan's face.

Moreover, the prince did not take this matter to heart and would not pursue his offense.

Sure enough, the prince smiled and shook his head and said: "Okay, stop acting, you are still talking nonsense as always..."

How could he really punish the prince's beloved general just because of such trivial matters?
