When the second prince returned, it was already late at night.
There is no way, the emperor set up a banquet in the palace, and the ladies of the palace and the adults of the palace gathered together, and he couldn't leave. He was still alert, and by getting drunk, he went back to the dormitory to rest first.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurried back to Qianqiu Pavilion.
In fact, his father also knew that his mother and concubine stayed in Qianqiu Pavilion to recuperate, and he was in such a hurry to leave, but he also wanted to go back to accompany his mother for the holiday. Although the father has long lost his feelings for his mother, for the sake of his proud son, he will not say anything.
He remembered that his father once said something that roughly meant that filial piety is a good thing, but as an emperor, he cannot be controlled by anyone, let alone a woman's kindness. The emperor himself is lonely, deprived of relatives and friends, cut off people, and has to sacrifice everything in order to ascend to that position.
His father told him this, and he should have been happy, because it meant that his father had the intention of letting him inherit the throne. But in his heart, there was no joy, only a lot of sadness.
Eliminate relatives and friends, cut off people, this is the way of the emperor of the father? Didn't he already know it, so why did he feel so sad in his heart when he heard these words?
Is it because the person in his father's mouth is his poor mother, or is it because the resentment in his heart has never subsided over the years?
One day, he will also sit in his father's position, and he will also follow his father's old path. The second prince was a little apprehensive in his heart, he knew that that position represented not only supreme power, but also absolute loneliness. He thought he could do it easily because he had been like this since he was a child.
Don't trust anyone. Live forever in the cold. I don't feel the slightest warmth and happiness. No friends. There was no one to talk to, and even later, I didn't even think about it.
But now, he is a little greedy for the ordinary warmth of the world. It's really nice to have someone you can trust, someone to share, someone to open up to.
Especially when the good news came that the mother concubine could be cured, he realized it more clearly. It turns out that there are really people in this world who can be completely trusted.
He doesn't want to live the same life as his father, and he won't carry the same life as his father, he will be different. Of course he is different, he can reach a position that his father can't reach, he wants his father to know that even if he sits in that position, he won't be like him, except for this cold country, he has nothing.
The woman who loved him the most and was desperate for him. He believes. In this world, there is no one who loves him more than his mother. His son. I also longed for his attention, to get even a glance from him. However, after he treated his mother like that, the majestic mountain that belonged to his father in his heart suddenly collapsed.
His son, everybody's eyes are on his position, and who cares about him just because he's their father?
The second prince is different from his father, if he is the king, he will not want so many heirs to fight for life and death, let alone blood relatives to kill each other for that position. Perhaps because he is also a son of man, his mother-son affection and half-life attachment to his mother and concubine make the second prince attach great importance to family affection in his heart.
Thinking of his mother, the second prince shook the horsewhip fiercely, and the love horse under the seat quickly galloped towards the Qianqiu Pavilion.
The guards behind him also chased after him, and he was finally driven away by the second prince.
A loud roar rolled down countless boulders from the mountains on both sides of the trail.
"There is an ambush, protect the master-" The guards who followed behind saw the sudden change in front of them from a distance, shouted angrily, abandoned their horses one by one, and flew towards their master.
Zhu Yu was in a hurry, and he didn't even notice an ambush. Sure enough, these people can't be soft-hearted!
The second prince is known as the king of Rinzhou, and he has made great achievements, and the kung fu at hand is not weak. In the face of such a critical situation, he was also calm and calm, and did not see the slightest panic.
Suddenly, a boulder struck him on the head, and the second prince tightened the reins of his horse, and the horse's front legs were raised high, and the neighing sound was heard throughout the valley. The stone will fall to the ground, and the second prince will drive the horse, not retreating, but advancing.
"Master, be careful—"
Everyone is thinking that the master must be crazy. In this case, the only way to make a living is to retreat to make another plan, or even rush back to the imperial city.
But since Zhu Yu did this, he had a reason to do so. The dignified King of Rinzhou is really afraid of these small nights. These people calculated that they were going to retreat, so on the way back to the imperial city, they must have set up an ambush. With that man's calculations, it's not hard to imagine.
If he retreats, won't he fall into their trap?
Besides, who are they to think of him? It's ridiculous that this kind of lame drama wants to kill him. If he had been so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have survived today. Since the second prince consolidated his position, he has been attacked no less than ten times in half a year, and if his head is so easy to pick, it will not be their turn to be embarrassed here.
Zhu Yu drove the horse straight and untied another horsewhip from his waist, this horsewhip did not look like anything on the surface, but the material was extraordinary. Every time the boulders on the mountain fall, they are shot down by the horsewhip, and the sand and rocks are flying, and the whole valley path is full of flying stone chips.
His subordinates, who were strong in martial arts, also took advantage of this time to catch up and gathered around their master.
"Master, notify Yang Zhang, the head of the north, and let them come to answer, right?" Beishou and Yang Zhang are the commanders of the secret guard of Qianqiu Pavilion, and the entire people and horses who protect Qianqiu Pavilion are dispatched by the two of them, and they only obey the orders of their masters and are not sent by anyone.
"No, they must stay in the Thousand Autumn Pavilion."
"Master!"
"Listen to orders!"
"Yes!"
The people of Qianqiu Pavilion cannot be evacuated. If they left Qianqiu Pavilion, there would be no one to protect the old and weak women and children in that room. When the time comes, they will hold it, Zhu Yu can't imagine it.
They would rather break through desperately than let the people in the pavilion have a trace of surprise.
Zhu Yu was originally extremely stable in doing things, and he would not count that there would be people who would be unfavorable to him and wanted his life day and night. Every time he travels, he must have calculated a way out, but this time, he was in a hurry to go back for the holiday, and he set off overnight, so he expected to be fine.
It seems that he left this scene by pretending to be drunk at the banquet and completely fell into the eyes of the man. But it takes time to arrange these, and he couldn't have known in advance that he would rush back to the Qianqiu Pavilion overnight, could it be that there was someone in the Qianqiu Pavilion?
This is impossible, the second prince is convinced that there will be no traitors in the Qianqiu Pavilion. These people have been following them for several years, and if something happens, it will happen a long time ago.
Could it be......
A person popped up in the second prince's mind, but he almost didn't have to think about it, and immediately vetoed it. He believed her, that the woman would rather die than do such a thing. It wasn't good for her at all, she didn't know those people at all, and besides, she didn't have to.
If she wants to be unfavorable to him, she won't wait until today, let alone save his mother so wholeheartedly, even if he doubts everyone in Qianqiu Pavilion, he won't doubt her.
He couldn't let something happen to the Qianqiu Pavilion, not only because there was his mother concubine in the Qianqiu Pavilion, but also because there was still her inside.
At such a critical moment, even if there is a doubt in your heart, you have to press it down, and respond to the enemy with all your strength in order to break through and escape.
The stones rolled and fell, the horses had lost control, some were hit by the stones and fell, and some people were also smashed to the head in order to save the second prince. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, the second prince insisted on refusing to send a distress signal, and his subordinates were so anxious that their eyes were red, and they had to desperately protect the safety of their master.
At this moment, a blue figure suddenly appeared on the mountain. The sword in his hand was drawn, and with a flash of silver light, a stream of blood splattered out. This man shot extremely quickly, and he solved the people on the hill on one side in three or two clicks.
The second prince saw the person who came clearly, it was the chief of the guard in Lord Bao's mansion, Zhan Yang, the guard with a knife in front of the emperor, he flickered left and right, jumping and jumping, Zhan Yang is a well-known master, and these people occupy a favorable location, and the kung fu in their hands is not very high-end.
Besides, even if he is a first-class killer, he has to be discounted in front of Zhan Yang. In addition, Zhan Yang appeared suddenly, and it was too late for everyone to react.
On the second prince's side, seeing that the offensive above had slowed down, it was their turn to launch a counterattack. But seeing that on the top of the mountains, one by one flying figures, the guards who can follow the second prince for personal protection, and their martial arts are top-notch among the guards.
The people and horses on the mountain ridge were quickly solved by two groups of people, and the second prince stood below, watching them do it.
After the situation stabilized, Zhan Yang flew down the mountain and came to the front of the second prince.
"Zhan Yang has seen the second prince—"
"Zhan guards don't need to be polite, this king was ambushed today, thank you Zhan guards for helping, otherwise this king will be in danger this time."
"The prince is serious, it is Zhan Yang's duty to protect the prince." Zhan Yang is a guard in the palace, and it is indeed his responsibility to protect the people in the palace.
It's just, "Why is Guard Zhan here at this time?" The second prince asked a little knowingly, he should know that Zhan Yang was not worried about Li Banxia, and he came here to always pay attention to the movements of Qianqiu Pavilion to ensure that she would be fine.
If Li Banxia knew that Zhan Yang had done so much for her behind her back, she would definitely be very moved. She couldn't have imagined that Zhan Yang's move would save the second prince by mistake.
This may be what is destined in the dark, and a qiē develops according to the established track.
The second prince was not surprised to meet Zhan Yang here, let alone thought of pursuing it, if he really wanted to investigate, he wouldn't have to wait until now. What's more, it's fortunate that he appeared here, otherwise even if he could escape, it would be a loss.
As for those who dare to do things behind his back, be prepared to be rewarded by him tenfold! A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the second prince, which looked particularly dangerous in the dark night.
