Chapter 622: Escape from the Palace
Although Xiao Diyuan also understood Xiao Hong's feelings as the monarch of a weak country at that time, after all, this was too inferior, so Xiao Diyuan said coldly: "If you are an upright monarch, even if your country is weak, you will never use such despicable means, Your Majesty, what you have done is really despicable." ”
Xiao Diyuan's gaze at Xiao Hong was cold and without any emotion.
More than ten years of nurturing grace have been reduced to ashes by this moment.
Xiao Hong felt dizzy and tinnitus, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and then looked at Xiao Diyuan coldly and said: "All victories are more or less cruel, I ...... do this."
At this time, someone suddenly said outside the door: "Lord Wang, the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom have intercepted the soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom, and the two sides are currently fighting fiercely." ”
Xiao Diyuan and the others couldn't help but change their faces.
Xiao Hong suddenly looked happy.
"How many soldiers are there in Shu Kingdom, and where did they intercept the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom?" Xiao Diyuan asked.
"One hundred thousand; at the source of the Jinsha River. The visitor replied.
That is, it is about ten miles away from the palace.
Xiao Diyuan said: "Okay, I know, step down." ”
The visitor asked uneasily, "What should we do next?"
"Wait for me to inform you later in the Dragon Flying Palace. Xiao Diyuan said.
Xiao Hong raised his face and said calmly: "The army led by General Jiang has never been defeated, so your people are waiting to be defeated." ”
"Until the end, it's not certain who will lose and who will win. Xiao Diyuan replied calmly.
Subsequently, Xiao Diyuan personally tied Xiao Hong to the stone pillar with a thick rope and led the others to Longfei Palace.
At this time, Zhou Rong suggested: "Lord Wang, the army led by General Jiang is indeed famous far and wide, and the army of Zhao may not be their opponent, in this case, I am afraid it is not a wise choice for us to fight hard." ”
Xiao Diyuan said: "We don't fight hard, we will retreat immediately and leave Shuguo as fast as possible." ”
"Are you also leaving Shuguo?" asked Zhou Rong hurriedly.
Xiao Diyuan nodded.
Zhou Rong immediately shook his spirits and said, "Okay, then let's go back to Zhaoguo together." ”
"No, it's inconvenient for me to go back to Zhaoguo for the time being, and I need to wait until the time is ripe. Xiao Diyuan replied immediately, and then whispered something in Zhou Rong's ear.
Zhou Rong nodded after hearing this.
So the group quickly left from the small gate of the palace under the cover of a small team, and took advantage of the sunset to go in the direction of the Jinsha River.
At the same time, Xiao Diyuan arranged for a letter to be sent to the leaders of the Zhao Kingdom, who were fighting against General Jiang's army, telling them to retreat quickly and immediately, and strive to leave the territory of the Shu Kingdom before it was completely dark.
When the general of Shoguo received this letter, the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely, and he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
After receiving the order, the soldiers all stopped fighting, jumped on their horses with their weapons, and left the battle scene at a rapid pace.
The soldiers of the Dawn Kingdom were surprised and hurriedly consulted General Jiang.
When General Jiang learned about it, he hurriedly ordered the team to chase after him.
However, Zhaoguo's army fled too fast, and although they pursued at full speed, they were still a step slower, and in the end they could only watch as they crossed the border line and quickly disappeared into the night.
Here, Xiao Diyuan and his party came to a hillside located at the source of the Jinsha River. Looking down from the hillside, you can see the devastation left behind by the battle between the two sides.
Fortunately, the casualties on both sides in this battle were not large.
Xiao Diyuan withdrew his gaze from the battlefield, looked at these accomplices, and said, "Thanks to everyone's help today, I can accomplish what I want to accomplish, thank you!"
Zhou Rong hurriedly said: "Now that the truth of the mystery of the three princes of Zhaoguo has been revealed, please complete your plan and return to Zhaoguo as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Diyuan nodded, looked at Jingwu again, and said, "I didn't expect the teacher to come today, the students are surprised and grateful!"
Shizugo was still wearing a low-brimmed hat, so no one could see his expression clearly, but seeing him, he nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you can escape from that place safely, please take care of yourself in the future, and don't leave it at that." ”
"Wait," Xiao Diyuan said busily, then took a few steps closer to Jingwu and said, "Teacher, let's take a step and say a few words." ”
Shizugo nodded.
So the two of them walked to a place about six or seven feet away from the others and stopped.
Xiao Diyuan asked softly: "Teacher, in fact, your real identity is a hermit on the Feilong Mountain of Zhaoguo, and Jiang Xiaogongzi's former teacher, right?"
Shizugo was extremely surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Xiao Diyuan smiled and said: "The student once went to Feilong Mountain to visit Jiang Shoufu's little son, you happened to be absent at that time, and the student asked Jiang Xiaogongzi about you, from her description, your height, figure and tone are similar to that of Teacher Jingwu, plus you are also well versed in the heavens and earth's leylines, proficient in the six Tao three strategies, marching formations and Zhancha exchanges, plus you have always been secretive and never show people in lineup, so the students dare to guess that you are the language." ”
Yuzi laughed a few times, then took off his low-brimmed hat and said, "That's right, I'm Yuzi." ”
Xiao Diyuan hurriedly took a closer look.
This is an old man with crane hair and a childish face, tall and extraordinary. Coupled with a white robe, it looks no different from an immortal.
Xiao Diyuan sighed with emotion: "This is the first time that a student has seen the dignity of a teacher, and it is a great honor!" He added, "Teacher, why do you want to teach and help a foreigner?"
"Because I know that you are still very useful to the world, I am willing to do my best to help you. Also, be aware of your previous experiences and be willing to help you identify where you come from. ”
Xiao Diyuan immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
Yuzi laughed and said: "Now that you have completed your studies and escaped from the palace, you have to rely on yourself for the future, I hope you will not forget your original intention and treat others with generosity." ”
"Yes. Xiao Diyuan hurriedly replied, and said, "Teacher, do you want to go back to Zhaoguo now or stay in Shuguo for a while?"
"I'll stay for a few days and do a few things. ”
"Okay, then let's leave here, and hopefully we'll see each other again in the near future. ”
"Hmm. ”
At this moment, Zhou Rong, who was standing not far away, suddenly fell to the side heavily.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly reached out to help.
Zhou Rong was constantly vomiting blood, and when they tried to block his mouth with their hands, blood gushed out of his nose, and he had a high fever all over his body.
"My lord, what do you think?" Wu Yichang asked with concern.
Zhou Rong pointed with difficulty to the distance and said, "There, someone is attacking the prince, hurry up and catch him." ”
At this time, they realized that Zhou Rong's action just now was to block an arrow for Xiao Diyuan not far away, and now the arrow of the bow and arrow had penetrated Zhou Rong's chest, and the blood from the wound continued to gush out like a spring.
Ding Wu, Liao Yuanji, and Wei Bang immediately flew towards the man with the bow, and pierced the man through the heart with a sword in three or two strokes.
Xiao Diyuan and Yuzi rushed over when they heard the sound.
Zhou Rong trembled and held Xiao Diyuan's hands with both hands, and said, "Lord Wang, we have finally found out this historical case for Zhaoguo, I ...... Die without regrets. ”
