Thirty-one years of Hongde, the Imperial Palace.

With a 'whoosh', a sharp arrow shot out.

Fifteen-year-old Zhang Dongzheng dragged thirteen-year-old Jiang You to run wildly in the inner court, narrowly dodging the stray arrows that came from him, and quickly hid in a mountain rock while no one was paying attention.

There were several corpses hanging on the rocks, pale and blurry faces, blood dripping from the delicate Taihu Lake stones, a shallow small stall, and soon seeped into the dirt.

Zhang Dongzheng suddenly stopped, gasped heavily, turned his head to Jiang You and said, "Your Highness, we can't go any further, look here" He pointed to the dead corpses around him.

A palace rebellion is going to kill many people, people are dead when they die, no matter what happened in life, there is no longer the dignity and dignity of the past, the palace concubines and slaves are lying head to head and foot to foot, all of them are clothed, their faces are bloody, and they don't see the fat and lead of the past.

There was a fire in the palace, and when the wind rose, the smell of burnt smell came from afar, and the disgusting smell drilled into people's nostrils as soon as they breathed in it. He pulled Jiang You's hand and sweated, but he still looked down at the uncoagulated blood stains under his feet: "So much blood, this blood hasn't dried yet, these people haven't been dead for long, it can be seen that the killer is not far away, we can't walk around, if we bump into it, wouldn't we be caught?" He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Zhao Quan, this chaotic minister and thief!" ”

Qingyi King Zhao Quan has been in charge of the Qi Dynasty's military power for a long time, and he has long coveted the country, so he proposed to Xiaozong, asking to marry the only daughter of Xiaozong - Jiang You, the only prince of the Qi Dynasty, he thought that if he married the prince as a daughter-in-law, he could take the Great Qi Jiangshan without blood, but unfortunately he was smart, and Xiaozong was not stupid, not only flatly refused, but also reprimanded Zhao Quan in court.

It's a pity that Xiaozong has been in trouble for a long time, and fell ill when he was in the last dynasty, and people were panicked for a while, so Zhao Quan took advantage of the chaos in the court, and in the name of the Qing monarch, he went all the way into the imperial city, but the palace gate was lost in an hour.

Zhang Dong is the eldest son of Zhenguo Gong, Zhenguo Mansion is the maiden family of the late Empress Zhang, he is Jiang You's cousin, Jiang You is still convinced by his words, she looked around, and saw that the soldiers who were still fighting were scattered at this time, so she turned her head and asked: "The two of us came from the Chang Gung Bridge, all the way like a headless fly, fortunately we didn't meet a thief, but where should we go next?" ”

At this time, there was a scream of fighting from nowhere, which made the two of them change their faces again, and they looked at each other with panicked expressions.

ZHAO Quanbing. The incident happened suddenly, and the two of them didn't stay well in the East Palace, and they were driven out of the palace and walked around without a head, but fortunately they didn't rebel. The army met head-on.

Zhang Dongzheng wrinkled his brows tightly, sweat seeped out of his sideburns, and paused for a while before saying, "Let's go north, let's get out of the palace first." He said as he shook off and strode away, but saw Jiang You standing in place and looking at him silently, he was surprised: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang You looked at him faintly: "Cousin Dongzheng, you are walking in the east." She added quickly: "I heard Liu Shangshu talk about the art of war, our imperial city is on an axis, and people are afraid that if they want to attack the city, they will attack it from the north, and if we go further north, won't we throw ourselves into the net?" ”

Zhang Dongzheng's honey-colored face turned red, and his handsome eyebrows showed some shame, he didn't read less military books on weekdays, but he didn't expect that when things came to an end, he was not as good as a little girl: "Then let's go the opposite way and go south?" As he spoke, he chose a new direction and pulled Jiang You to leave.

Jiang You squinted at him: "Do you see if that's Nan?" That's West! ”

Zhang Dongzheng's problem is not a day or two, but unfortunately because of his identity as a little grandfather, no one dares to sue him, today he knows it for the first time, and he lowered his head and said: "Yes, I have always followed people." ”

At this time, they hid in a mountain rock by the Jinshui River, Jiang You raised his hand and stroked the Taihu Lake stone beside him, and looked dazed for a while, before he said: "I want to go to the Qianqing Palace to find my father." ”

Now the most dangerous thing is the emperor, Zhang Dongzheng's heart is tight, Qi Dynasty is such a lone seedling, Jiang You can't miss it no matter what, he was about to think of persuasion, when he heard a sound of horseshoe people coming from far and near.

His complexion changed, and he took Jiang You and hid in the cave hewn out by the craftsman, at this time the sound of horses' hooves had stopped approaching, and through the pores of the Taihu Lake stone, he could vaguely see a black-armored man standing on a horse, and commanded with a solemn face: "Has the prince found it?" ”

Jiang You and Zhang Dongzheng glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, this black-armored man was Zhao Qing, the son of Zhao Quan, the son of the king of Pingshan, and saw that there were four captains standing in front of him, and they all shook their heads with panicked faces, Zhao Qing whipped down, and heard a crisp sound exploding in the air, he said coldly: "A group of waste, even a little hairy child can't catch it, this is the father's personal instructions, Jiang You is the only daughter of Xiaozong, as long as we hold it in our hands, are we afraid that this time the army will not be successful?" ”

Several people promised to do so, and ordered the people to scatter and search among the rocks. Zhang Dongzheng covered her mouth with one hand and looked out nervously.

Jiang You didn't know where to take out two daggers inlaid with gold and jade, and secretly stuffed one in Zhang Dongzheng's hand, the two of them looked at the only hole with their faces tense, and saw Zhao Qing walking a few steps in place, suddenly paused, and looked straight towards the place where the two were hiding.

The hearts of the two jumped, Zhao Qing outside took a few steps forward, looked in through the holes, and the two of them hurriedly squatted down, hiding in the distance and not daring to come out.

Zhao Qing's eyes swept in, suddenly shook his head, muttered a few words, and turned to leave, Jiang You held the dagger in one hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was about to breathe, when he heard Zhao Qing's voice coming from outside: "The two of you haven't come out yet?" Didn't you force me to set fire? ”

Jiang You and Zhang Dongzheng were startled, thinking that Zhao Qing was cheating, but they didn't expect a burst of fire to flash, and when they saw that they were soaked in cotton gauze soaked in oil, they shot straight in, and instantly ignited the dead branches and broken leaves in the hole, and billowing smoke came out.

Zhang Dongzheng covered Jiang You's mouth and nose with one hand, and retreated from the cave with her, and the two turned around to run, but they were surrounded by the people brought by Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing stood on the horse, phoenix-eyed and crow-eyed, this pie skin is really the appearance of the son of the world, he saluted Jiang You from a high place: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time." "His demeanor is like that of a cat that amuses mice, with indescribable ridicule and banter. Both of them changed their clothes, but they were still recognized by Zhao Qing at a glance.

When it came to the end, Jiang You calmed down, she pinched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and didn't answer with a straight face.

Zhao Qing shook his sleeves and pretended to sigh: "Your Highness's cold appearance is really hurtful, the minister who lost money has always been obsessed with His Royal Highness, and specially begged his father to propose to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to refuse ruthlessly, and the minister and his father had no choice but to force the palace. ”

Jiang You is only thirteen years old this year, but Zhao Qing is already twenty years old, what to say about love at first sight is really a bit of nonsense, Zhang Dongzheng on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Rebellion is rebellion, why bother to find His Highness as an excuse, your Zhao family has been ill-intentioned for a long time, of course the emperor will not agree to marry His Highness, you"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was held to his throat by a knife soldier.

Zhao Qing didn't pay attention to him, but bent down on the horse, looking at Jiang You with straight eyes, he forced him with his eyes for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Your Highness, the cause of today's events is that you and my family affairs are not going well, and now as long as you answer me here, I will guarantee in the name of the prince of Pingshan that I will withdraw my troops immediately and never fight again." ”

Zhang Dongzheng was anxious when he heard this, let's not say whether Zhao Qing's words were true or false, as long as Jiang You said yes, the Zhao family would have a handle that could be handled, and with one outlet, there would be endless disasters!

Jiang You lowered his head deeply and was silent, Zhao Qing thought that she was frightened, her tone was a little more cold and ruthless, the smile lines on her lips deepened, and she continued to persecute: "Your Highness, should you not, en?" ”

Jiang You hung his head and said weakly, looking overly frightened and lacking confidence.

Zhao Qing didn't hear clearly, he was in a hurry, so he simply dismounted and listened carefully, but saw Jiang You suddenly raise his head, squeezed his eyebrows at him and made a grimace, grinning strangely, and taking advantage of his stunned efforts, he raised his hand to stir the dagger in his hand. out.

Zhao Qing subconsciously turned his head sideways to dodge, and felt a pain on his face, so he heard Jiang You say quickly: "Dongzheng, the third in the east!" Then he raised his little fist and rushed up.

Zhao Qing was calculated by her, a blood mark was drawn on the side of his face, he was slightly angry in his heart, seeing that she was not self-sufficient, he sneered in his heart, and reached out to pinch her neck, although he didn't want to take Jiang You's life, but it was good to let her suffer some hardship.

Jiang You has been learning the kung fu of riding and archery since he was a child, but it is the first time to do it with someone, Xiuchang's lips are pursed into a line, and he avoids Zhao Qing's hand with a short body, and attacks straight towards his shoulder well, she also glanced at Zhang Dongzheng with her spare eyes in her busy schedule, and saw him pinching the dagger and attacking the third one straight to the west

Before she could hit her side, someone grabbed her wrist, and without hesitation, she kicked out with both legs, and suddenly a crossbow. The arrow shot from one side and shot straight at Zhao Qing.

Jiang You was stunned, and then she heard the sound of the tip of the arrow piercing the flesh, and the warm blood splashed her face, she hurriedly jumped back a few steps, and subconsciously turned her head, and saw dozens of crossbows. The fan of the arrow is clustered around a slender figure, the figure stands on the horse, the scarlet arrow sleeves are flying in the wind, a big bow is on the arm, and the hat on the head is carried by the wind, only to see the red as snow lips on the white jade face leaked open, although it is only half a face, but from the bones reveal a kind of beauty.

Zhao Qing covered the wound with one hand and said hatefully: "Xue Yuan! ”

Xue Yuanyin's blood-red lips raised slightly, bowed lightly on the horse, and aimed the arrow in his hand at Zhao Qing's eyebrows: "The tired prince still remembers our family." He still spoke unhurriedly, and mocked steadily: "Our family knows that the prince of the world remembers the marriage of His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness is a royal person, and there is no reason to marry, if you really have no regrets, why not give up the throne and marry to the palace, not to mention, there is always a position for a queen." ”

Zhao Qing's face turned pale, and he suddenly smiled fiercely: "You eunuch dare to say anything, aren't you afraid that I will kill Jiang You in a fit of anger?!" ”
