"Tell me, why did you go up the mountain to be a bandit, and what other hurtful things you have done, explain them all. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If you really have a hard time, maybe we can spare your life. Xie Bai said to the bandit leader.

The man saw that he still had hope of reporting his life, so he hurriedly confessed 1510.

It turned out that since the eighth prince ascended the throne, he was cruel and unkind, labored the people, collected taxes everywhere, built palaces, and the people were not able to make a living. The young men were all arrested to work as coolies, and the old, weak, sick and disabled under them could only beg and beg, and those who starved to death.

And they were forced to go up the mountain to become bandits, and when they saw the rich people passing by, they rushed down and robbed them of their valuable things, but they never harmed people's lives, nor did they snatch all their entanglements. Pretending to be the king of Hades is also to scare passers-by and make them take the initiative to hand over the money on their bodies.

It is precisely because of the silver grabbing of passers-by here that the family and children of this group of people will not starve to death. Although they are called bandits, they never burn, kill, and loot.

When the four of them heard his words, they didn't feel good in their hearts, they could see that they had to go up the mountain to become bandits, and they were already skinny. In the end, they decided to spare the life of the bandit leader.

Hades said, "We will spare your life today, but you will no longer use my name, for the sake of your old and young, I will not pursue your tarnishing of my name for the time being, and if you let me know that you will go out and do evil under the guise of me again, I will surely take your life." ”

The person kneeling on the ground finally believed that the person in front of him was really the Hades King himself, so he quickly kowtowed and said that he would no longer dare to pretend to be the Hades King.

Fu Jiayue's brother saw that the Hades King was indeed not a femme fatale, on the contrary, her generosity was admirable.

It was getting dark, and after such a long delay here, and it was a lack of access to the village and a store, they began to worry a little that they might have to sleep here tonight.

The bandit seemed to see through their thoughts, so he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is getting late, if you don't dislike it, please go to the Humble House for a night, it will be my gratitude to you for not killing." ”

They glanced at each other, and that was all they could do for now, so they went home with the bandit.

The mountain road was not very easy to walk, they went around a mountain, and saw a few thatched huts in front of them, and in front of the thatched huts were a few acres of fields, but the fields were overgrown with grass and could not see crops. A desolate sight.

As they walked by, the man said, "This is the current crop, there is no labor to take care of the land, only women and children are left, and there is a plague of insects, and the land is all barren and there is no harvest." When he said this, he burst into tears of grief.

When Fu Jiayue saw this scene in front of her, her heart was full of resentment towards the Eighth Prince, and she also hated why she still believed in him so much in the first place. She wanted to see the Eighth Prince as soon as possible and avenge these innocent people.

"The eighth prince is so hateful, I really want to go back to the palace and kill him. Fu Jiayue said angrily. Xie Bai saw Fu Jiayue's angry and hateful look, and reached out and patted her shoulder, which was considered a comfort to her.

After a while, they came to a hut, which was very rudimentary, and all made of thatch. When they walked into the house, the night in the mountains was cool, and a small thatched hut could not shelter them from the wind and rain, so when they walked in, they did not feel much warmer.

The house is small, and the inside is very basic, and there is nothing of value. In the middle of the room was a broken table with several broken bowls, a teapot, and two or three chairs beside the table. To the right of the table is a stove with a few sticks of firewood next to it. There were also a few swarthy tortillas on the stove.

To the left of the table was a bed, on which lay an old woman, coughing incessantly, apparently of advanced age and serious illness, and lying on the bed with a painful face. He was covered with a dirty and torn quilt.

Next to the old woman was a younger woman with her young child in her arms, and the clothes on the two of them barely covered their bodies. When they saw so many people, their eyes were full of horror, and their bodies didn't know if it was because of the cold or because they were shivering with fear.

There was nothing else in the house. The four of them were amazed by the humble environment and these poor people, and they all showed helpless, incredulous expressions.

Seeing their surprised looks, the male owner of the house smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm really sorry, my family is really simple, and I can only wronged a few uncles." After saying that, he went to the bedside, briefly told his wife what had happened, and told her to prepare something to eat.

However, as soon as she said that she was going to eat something, the woman had an embarrassed expression on her face and said to her husband, "But there are only a few breads left in our house, and there is nothing left to eat." ”

The man listened, looked at the stove, and could only sigh helplessly.

Xie Bai saw this scene in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "No need, we can just have a place to live." We also brought a little bit of dry food, enough for all of us to eat tonight. ”

Fu Jiayue also hurriedly echoed and said, "Yes, yes, we still have something to eat." Hearing this, the male protagonist breathed a sigh of relief.

At dinner, the four of them took out the steamed buns in their luggage and ate them, but the old and young people here could only nibble on hard cakes, and they didn't dare to waste them at all, and the children on the bed looked at them with envy.

When the Hades King saw the child's pitiful eyes, he walked over, handed the steamed bun to the child, and said gently, "Little sister, let's change it." The little girl trembled and took the steamed bun, and Hades smiled and touched her head. Then go back and eat the cake that I got back.

In fact, none of them had eaten well, and in the face of such a situation, they were not in the mood to eat at all. After eating, the man brought back some firewood outside and started a fire. At this time, the room was not as cold as before, and it was a little brighter.

Four people sat around the fire, no one spoke, and they didn't know what to say. Fu Jiayue felt very cold, her body was cold, and her heart was cold, the only thing that comforted her was that she was accompanied by her brother and Xie Bai. She glanced at Xie Bai, just in time to meet Xie Bai's gaze, she stood up and moved to Xie Bai's side, snuggled up to him and sat down, Xie Bai held her in her arms.

Unconsciously, the four of them gradually fell asleep, and when they woke up, it was already dawn. Fu Jiayue leaned on Xie Bai's shoulder, and Hades leaned on his brother's shoulder, and when he woke up, Hades found that he had slept on his sweetheart's shoulder for a night.

They woke up one by one, and after thinking about it, they should not bother them anymore, and left quietly, and when they left, they left a few taels of silver for the poor family, which was regarded as a meager part of their own strength.

When the family woke up, they found that the firewood had been extinguished, and the people had gone, leaving only a few taels of silver on the table.

The four of them were in a heavy mood and continued to hurry, each with their own thoughts on the road. Xie Bai and Fu Jiayue's elder brother are both worried about how to defeat the Eighth Prince, and they don't know where the emperor is yet.

Finally, in the evening, they reached the gate of the palace. But there are guards at the door, and it's not so easy to get in. They had no choice but to find an inn nearby to stay in and discuss countermeasures.

I don't know why, the capital is so lively today, the nearby inns are full of people, and it is not easy to find two rooms, and they are beginning to realize that things are abnormal.

Fu Jiayue said to her brother: "Let's go down to eat in a while, pay attention to the people around us, maybe we can hear some news." ”

Sure enough, because there were too many people at night, many people had to eat downstairs together.

The four of them found a place in the middle of nowhere and sat down, and began to observe the people around them.

Most of the people here seem to be royalty and nobles, and they all bring a lot of servants, and they all seem to be well-groomed. It seems that he is fully prepared to enter the palace.

The guests almost all came down, and only saw a table of people on the left side of the hall, there were three people who seemed to be princes, wearing silk and jade pendants, one was fatter, one was slightly shorter, and the other was thin, looking very shrewd. They were accompanied by three servants who were with them at their side.

The hall was noisy, and everyone's voices could be drowned out at any time. But because the two tables were close together, they could still hear each other's conversation clearly.

The short man looked around, shook his head, and said, "Tomorrow the palace will be lively again." ”

The thin man listened and said, "Can it not be lively, tomorrow the emperor will have a big birthday, and the vassal kings from all over the world will come to celebrate his birthday." It seems that it will be lively for two days and two nights. ”

The fatter man sighed and said, "Since the eighth prince ascended the throne, taxes and servitude have been strengthened in various places, and it has really taken me a lot of effort to make up these congratulatory gifts." ”

"yes, we're not having a good time there. After the dwarf prince finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup. "Alas, I don't know why the first emperor died suddenly, since the new emperor came to the throne, the life of the people is getting worse day by day. ”

"I heard that the first emperor may not have died, but was sent to the frontier with the queen, speaking of which, the eighth prince is really ruthless. The fatter man said.

"Shhhh The thin man put his index finger to his mouth and made a small motion. He looked up again, for fear of being heard.

"That's right, last time I heard someone say that the emperor was sent to the frontier by the eighth prince, and then no one has ever seen him again, and it is said that he was exterminated. The dwarf prince said with a little trepidation.

"Okay, okay, don't say that anymore. If you say a few more words, your life may be gone. ”

So the three of them hurriedly stopped the topic. Discussing the matter of entering the palace tomorrow.

The four of them had heard their conversation in their ears, so they hurried back to their rooms after eating and began to discuss strategies.

"Since the emperor is not dead, I think we should find him as soon as possible. Xie Bai looked at the three of them.

"Yes, since we want to pull the Eighth Lord down from the throne, we can't be without a leader. Only by finding the emperor can the world be convinced. Fu Jiayue's brother nodded and said.

"However, tomorrow is a great opportunity for us to blend into the palace, and if we miss it, it may be difficult to enter the palace again. Fu Jiayue said.

"We must find the Emperor by tomorrow night, and we will all go into the palace. Hades spoke everyone's mind.

"However, in such a short period of time, how can it be possible to go to the frontier to find the emperor and bring him back again?" said the elder brother worriedly.

After his words, everyone fell into deep thought again.

"That's it, I'll go by myself, with my current mana, it shouldn't be difficult to travel thousands of miles a day, and I will try my best to bring the emperor back before tomorrow night." Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Hades had no choice but to take risks.

"No, it's too dangerous. Fu Jiayue stood up excitedly when she heard the words of the Hades King and said, "You can't do such a risky thing, your spiritual power is not as good as before, and it is too dangerous for you to go by yourself." ”

"It's okay, I can do it. The Hades King looked at Fu Jiayue and smiled and said, looking indifferent.

"Don't be reckless, we can think of another way, we don't want you to take the risk yourself. My brother said worriedly.

Seeing his worried look, the Hades smiled evilly and said, "I am the Hades, the Lord of Hell, whoever dares to hurt me, this is the best way now, you don't have to worry." ”

Hearing that the Hades King had made up his mind, although they were worried, they didn't say anything more, and there was really no better way.

"Then you have to be careful. Xie Bai didn't say anything to stop him, he knew that he couldn't stop the Hades King if he said it, so he could only tell her one word.

"Yes, you must be careful, your life is the most important thing, don't be too strong. Fu Jiayue's brother looked at the Hades King and said seriously, maybe he didn't know what he said.

"Are you worried about me?" said Hades, seeing his brother's worried look.

Only then did he realize that what he had just said was a little embarrassing, and he was a little too worried.

So, the three of them sent the Hades away, Fu Jiayue's brother looked at the back of the Hades leaving, stood for a long time and refused to go back, and the younger sister couldn't help but smile secretly when she saw him like this.

Hades' skills are indeed strong, and they arrived at the frontier before midnight, which is sparsely populated, and most of the people live together, and it is not very troublesome to find someone, but the night on the frontier is extremely cold, and the north wind is howling, and Hades has to speed up the pace of searching. Suddenly, she saw a few people in a dilapidated house in front of her who were warming themselves around matches, and she walked over.

When she walked in, she was extraordinary, and she knew that this was probably the emperor. She stepped forward, exchanged a few words with a few people, and quickly became acquainted. Sure enough, that person was the emperor, and the woman next to him was the queen. At the beginning, the officers and soldiers escorted them here and went back, leaving them to fend for themselves. Fortunately, they were taken in by local well-meaning herdsmen, so they were not frozen to death in the wilderness. The emperor and queen who were once above 10,000 people are now in this field, which is really poignant.
