Chapter XVII. trace
"It's not my horse, it's yours." Liu Rufeng shrugged his shoulders and said something angry.
"Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Ji Yue gritted her teeth and had to bow her head and admit her mistake. After all, she didn't have that much time to spend here.
Liu Rufeng didn't expect Ji Yue to admit his mistake, turned his head with wide eyes, his footsteps slowly stopped, and the bun behind him also stopped as he stopped.
Ji Yue seized the opportunity to jump down on the stirrups, and walked straight towards the city gate without looking at Liu Rufeng.
"Hey, where are you going?" Liu Rufeng shouted at the back of the white clothes with black hair flying up.
Ji Yue didn't look back, "You hurry up and take a bath, it's really stinky, and you still have the leisure to take care of others." ”
When Liu Rufeng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Royal Palace Flying Dragon Hall
The night is deep, the red candles are flickering, and the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven is gorgeous and magnificent. On the huge dragon bed, there was a dying old man, with a sallow complexion, his eyes sunken deep into his sockets, and his eyes were yellow, without a trace of brilliance, without any former majesty.
Standing beside the bed was a young man with a purple and gold crown on his head, with a slender figure and a sculptural facial features covered with an indifferent expression. Lying on the bed was his biological father, although the next person fed him pain relieving medicine, but under the torture of the disease, the effect was minimal, and the old man was still in pain and broke out in a cold sweat, moaning constantly.
There was no trace of distress on the young man's face, only indifference.
In the middle of the night, the Western Shang Emperor's cloudy eyes fell on Le Zhengfan, his eyes were full of remorse and hatred. is obviously a father and son, but he is like a great enemy of life and death.
"The lonely king hates, why didn't he take you to death with the cane in the first place!"
A trace of waves appeared on Le Zhengfan's indifferent face, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer, "It's too late." ”
"The lonely king's Heng'er, Heng'er!" The Western Shang Emperor was miserable and miserable, and the old tears were rampant. His favorite child, Le Zhengheng, the former prince of Western businessmen, was killed by the person in front of him! As soon as he thought of Heng'er's gentle and elegant face, he couldn't wait to jump up and kill this person!
"Father, you'll be able to see him soon."
"Don't call the Lone King, you wolf-hearted thing! Devil!! The Emperor of the Western Shang roared, his face flushed abnormally rosy with excitement.
Le Zhengfan glanced at the Western Shang Emperor coldly, as if he was deliberately angry with him, "Father, what are you talking about?" This palace is a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, who is this qiē due to? ”
"You!!" Emperor Xishang's chest rose and fell violently, and he looked angry.
Le Zhengfan no longer paid attention to the Western Shang Emperor, and came to the window alone and stood looking into the distance, his eyes were cold, and his thoughts did not know where to go.
For as long as he can remember when he was young, all he can remember is insulting, bullying, and being blacked out for others. Every time he was beaten by other princes and returned to the room with injuries, the mother concubine just shed tears while giving him medicine, and told him not to contradict other princes and not to fight back. As a young man, he didn't understand and was not convinced. Until one day, the prince asked him to kneel down and learn to bark the dog, but he refused, and the prince fell into the lotus pond between the pushes.
The crown prince was rescued by the palace people and was frightened. When his father found out, he was furious, and he came to the dilapidated palace where Le Zhengfan lived, ignoring the scars on his face and slapped him twice, and his mother held his feet and begged for mercy desperately, but his father ordered his mother to be beaten to death in front of him under the pretext of having no upbringing.
He will never forget the so-called father's gloomy eyes staring at him, and the despair of his mother who shed lines of blood and tears.
Never forget!
Le Zhengfan suddenly clenched his fists, but after a while, a wicked smile rose at the corner of his mouth. What does it matter, didn't he also stick his father's favorite prince alive in front of him!
The wind rises, raising his clothes and flying, like a fairy in a high place, lonely.
I don't know how long it took, a black shadow disappeared silently behind Le Zhengfan, "Your Highness, the crown princess climbed the wall and escaped from the prince's mansion." ”
Le Zhengfan's face suddenly became very gloomy and ugly, like an eggplant leaf beaten by frost, black and purple.
"Are you sure?" Before entering the palace, I always felt that something was wrong, and I was uneasy, so I specially let Liuyu stare in the dark, but I didn't expect her to jump over the wall and escape!
"Yes!"
"In which direction are you fleeing?"
"The crown princess went out from the south city gate, and her subordinates have sent people to follow, leaving marks along the way."
"Prepare the horse!!" A low roar, anger filling his chest.
――――――――
The soldiers guarding the gate were conducting routine checks on the people entering and leaving the city, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which was especially loud in this silent night.
"Drive! Drive! ”
Before the man on horseback arrived, the voice came first, "Get out of the way of the palace!" ”
As soon as the gatekeeper heard the voice, he immediately shouted to the soldiers, "Hurry up, it's the prince." ”
The soldiers hurriedly moved the guardrail when they felt a puff of dust coming to their faces, and when the dust had dispersed, there was no human figure.
"Go out when it's late." The gatekeeper muttered, and then yelled at the soldiers, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone out, stop the city gate!" ”
"Stay away from me!!" Ji Yue couldn't remember how many times she yelled at the man behind her. As soon as she walked out of the city gates, and before she had time to celebrate, she heard someone barking behind her, and when she turned around, she saw a homeless man leading a horse towards her.
"It's getting late, where are you going, girl?"
"Why are you asking this, don't come here, it stinks!!" Ji Yue covered her nose and took two steps back, looking vigilant.
"A beautiful girl walks alone at night, so she is not afraid of encountering thieves who will snatch you up the mountain as a lady of the village?"
Ji Yue's face was black, "I think you look like a thief." ”
Liu Rufeng laughed happily, the messy hair in front of him trembled, and occasionally showed narrow and bright eyes, "In that case, why don't you take a trip with Uncle Ben and go to the cottage to be Uncle Ben's wife?" ”
Ji Yue threw him a look at Shen Jing's illness, ignored Liu Rufeng, and walked forward with a faster pace. Liu Rufeng is tall and long-legged, Ji Yue takes two steps, he only needs to take one step, and it won't be long before the two of them are side by side again.
"Don't follow me!" A foul smell hit her face, and Ji Yue had to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeve.
"The moon is so round today!" Liu Rufeng suddenly sighed, Ji Yue raised her head when she heard this, but saw the waning moon hanging in the air with the crescent moon, and suddenly there was a black line on her forehead.
"Stay away from me!" Ji Yue roared, and Liu Rufeng shrugged his shoulders with an innocent look, grinning, and smiling with white teeth. Ji Yue was helpless, seeing that he didn't look like a bad person, so she didn't pay much attention to him and let him follow.
It is getting farther and farther away from the city gate, gradually becoming invisible, under the moonlight, two roads are placed in front of Ji Yue, one day is the official road, wide and flat, and the other is a sheep intestine path, potholes and uneven.
