After hearing what Qin Rushuang said, Shen Xiaoyang took a breath of cold air, "This move is really vicious. I didn't expect Xie Yang to have such a strategy!"
"How is that possible? It's probably Xiao Shan who is planning this."
"But...since the soldier's letter is a forgery, as long as we find out the truth..."
"Xie Yang has already led his troops and set off. How can there be time to find out the truth about such an urgent matter? When he leads people to the imperial mausoleum and kills the unsuspecting Zou Yuan, he will definitely kill and silence him. How can the case be overturned after the person is dead? Doesn’t it all depend on Xie Yang’s mouth to say anything?”
Shen Xiangyang said quickly: "Then let's take people to rescue Zou Yuan now!"
Qin Rushuang shook her head and said, "No, I will take the soldiers and horses by myself to take the small road to meet him. Brother, don't worry, Zhu Sha is not as stupid as you think. He will definitely not disobey Xie Yang's order, he is just leading the troops." On the way, he should try to buy time for us. As long as I get the upper hand and meet Zou Yuan first, and don't let Zou Yuan know nothing about it and be ambushed, there will be room for maneuver in this matter."
"How can you go alone? I want to go with you!"
Qin Rushuang looked at Shen Xiaoyang solemnly: "Brother can't go. Brother has to keep an eye on my father in the palace for me. Also, the soldier who came to report the news must be from Xie Yang's side. His words and the clothes on his body The evidence cannot withstand scrutiny, so what I want to ask my brother to do is to interrogate the truth of the matter as soon as possible and clear Zou Yuan's name."
"In addition, I am also worried. What I am afraid of is that Xie Yang and Xiao Shan have back-ups, and..."
Her gaze turned behind her.
Behind him, Qingzhi had already arrived at Prince Huai's Mansion, holding Linbao in his arms. The nurse beside him also looked wary.
"I will leave the Linbao to my brother. Please protect him for me before I come back."
Linbao in Qingzhi's arms seemed to have noticed the unusual atmosphere. Although he was awake, he didn't cry at all. He only opened his eyes wide and looked at the people around him.
Shen Xiaoyang walked to Qingzhi and the child in a few steps, and solemnly promised: "I understand, you can go without worry, I will definitely guard the child and Prince Huai's Mansion for you."
Qin Rushuang got on her horse, gave Linbao one last reluctant look, took the 3,300 soldiers and horses behind her, and wandered away.
She was walking on a path that she had discovered while wandering around the royal hunting grounds during spring hunting. At that time, she had only glanced at it from a distance.
The trail can only accommodate two horses at the same time, and you can reach the imperial mausoleum by bypassing the back mountain of the royal hunting ground.
The path was rugged and full of rocks. Qin Rushuang took the lead and ordered the soldiers behind him to form groups of two and pass quickly.
When they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, they happened to meet the men and horses led by Zou Yuan.
Zou Yuan was obviously a little surprised, "Princess, why did you come to the imperial mausoleum suddenly and bring so many people with you?"
"The fourth prince asked you to suppress the bandits. How did you handle it?"
Zou Yuan looked solemn, "These bandits are very strange. There are only a few hundred people. They don't fight with us. They only know how to escape into the forest. They are so flexible. Although there are many of us, we can't do anything to them at the moment." .There is something fishy about this bandit. Princess, is there something wrong with the palace?"
Qin Rushuang nodded, Zou Yuan was indeed smart.
In a few words, she told Zou Ye that Xie Yang had slandered them as rebels and colluded with the Japanese state.
Rao Zou had always been very scheming and kept his appearance to himself. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but cursed, "This person is really vicious!"
After scolding him, he continued to ask, "What should the princess do now? I'm not afraid of fighting with the fourth prince. Besides, we have more troops, but the Imperial City Army under him are our brothers.
Ah! No matter which side wins, it will be the soldiers who will suffer, and it will be because of such baseless accusations!"
Qin Rushuang said solemnly: "I also know your worries. Since we can't fight, we have only one way to escape."
Zou Yuan raised his eyebrows and quickly understood what Qin Rushuang meant.
There are dense forests near the imperial mausoleum, and Xie Yang has no ability to lead troops in battle, so Zhu Sha will probably be forced to command the soldiers.
As long as they don't clash head-on with Zhu Sha's people, Zhu Sha won't kill them, so they can delay time.
"What happens after that? Although the jungle near the imperial mausoleum is dense, we can only hold it off for a day or two at most, but we won't be able to do it any longer."
Qin Rushuang took a deep breath, "Then we have to wait for Master Shen and Mr. Lin Ge to clear your suspicions as soon as possible!"
While the two were talking, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, and within a moment, Xie Yang and Zhu Sha, who were leading the way, could already be seen.
Zou Yuan and Qin Rushuang looked at each other, and Zou Yuan immediately said in a deep voice: "Everyone is divided into six teams and escape!"
Zou Yuan's voice was so loud that he even used his inner strength. Not only did the soldiers behind him hear it, but Zhu Sha not far away also heard it.
Zhu Sha reacted immediately. Before Xie Yang could give the order, he immediately said to Xie Yang, "Fourth prince, there is no need to dirty your hands. Just let your subordinates capture these rebellious officials and traitors! Everyone! Divide into six teams.
, chase me! We must use all our strength to capture all these rebels!"
The ten thousand people brought by Zhu Sha were immediately divided into six teams. The first six people were all the best players in Xie Xun's army.
When the team dispersed, Zhu Sha winked at them. These people naturally did not believe that the loyal Zou Yuan would raise an army to rebel, and they immediately understood the deeper meaning.
As a result, the drama of "you run away and I chase" between the two sides of the Imperial City Army began to unfold.
The two parties are running away from each other and chasing each other, leaving no room for error. Both sides acted very realistically.
But it was like this. After a day, Xie Yang also came to his senses.
Both parties were acting with him.
Fortunately, he also brought a thousand soldiers, who obeyed his orders, and finally forced the small group of men led by Qin Rushuang into a dense forest.
Qin Rushuang's robe flashed before Xie Yang's eyes, and Xie Yang immediately shouted: "Princess Huai! I didn't expect that my second brother was leading troops to fight against foreign enemies, but you and his subordinate Zou Yuan joined forces to rebel. The second brother knew
How heartbreaking it must be!”
"I advise you not to run away and be captured without any effort! Do you think that I am unprepared? There is really nothing these ten thousand men can do to you now, but Zou Yuan raised his troops to rebel. I have contacted King Ning to lead his troops. Today we are about to
Arriving in Kyoto!”
Qin Rushuang's face darkened, she pulled the reins, and the horse that was running quickly stopped, bringing up a burst of fallen leaves.
What she worried about most happened.
Xie Yang's back-up move was actually in collusion with Prince Ning!
Prince Ning was the youngest brother of Emperor Qi and a compatriot from the same mother. Therefore, when Emperor Qi came to power, he did not embarrass his younger brother. Instead, he pointed out a rich fiefdom to him and gave him many soldiers.
horse.
King Ning has about ten thousand people at his disposal. If he is rebellious and raises some private soldiers, then she and Zou Yuan will have no chance of fighting back.
Qin Rushuang's heavy look did not escape Xie Yang's eyes.
Xie Yang said proudly: "No later than today, King Ning will lead his troops to Qingjun's side. I advise Princess Huai to capture her immediately."
As if to confirm Xie Yang's words, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
Xie Yang laughed loudly: "Hahaha! It seems that even God will not give Prince Huai's Mansion a chance. Prince Ning's troops have arrived, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the smile froze on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Second, second brother, didn't you go to resist the Japanese country?! How could..."
