Ye Minyu hurried up, in order to show the sincerity of his confession, he needed to rush to the summer resort as quickly as possible, so everyone who accompanied him was each with two war horses, and one was tired of running and the other was changed. Therefore, by the time it was forty or fifty miles away from the summer resort, it was already sleepy and tired.

By this time night had fallen, and dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain. There was no light, the road ahead could not be seen, and there were no people and horses, so Ye Minyu's personal guard captain suggested: "Your Highness, we have been on the road for more than ten hours, let's find a place to rest for a while!" ”

After rushing for such a long time, Ye Minyu was also very tired. He reined in his horse and said, "Stop, camp on the spot, rest for the night, and wait until tomorrow dawn before we leave!" ”

The knights were all relieved to hear this, and they were all exhausted. At this time, the scout in front came back and reported that there was a mountain temple on the side of the official road a mile away, and it was about to rain, and it was better to live in the mountain temple than to camp in the wild, at least to avoid the rain.

Ye Minyu waved his whip; "Let's go, go to the mountain temple to settle down and rest."

Everyone agreed in unison, rode away, and soon arrived at the location of the mountain temple. This mountain temple is located on a hill, because of disrepair, the people in the temple have long been hollowed out, leaving only three empty temples.

Ye Minyu stopped his horse, and immediately two guards knelt in front of his horse, waiting for the master to step on their backs and get down. Ye Minyu glanced at them and said lightly: "Get up, it's been a tiring day, this king has hands and feet, and he can get down by himself." ”

Although Ye Minyu is a prince of gold and jade, he has always shared weal and woe with the soldiers, which is also the reason why the soldiers support him and are willing to serve him to the death.

The two guards looked up at him gratefully, knowing that he had always said the same, he didn't dare to say much, and got up, Ye Minyu turned over and dismounted, moved his numb hands and feet, and the others got off the horse one after another.

In order to win the emperor's trust, Ye Minyu did not dare to bring more people, and only brought sixty battle-hardened guards, and the captain of the personal soldiers wanted to ensure his safety, because Yali Mountain was big, and he was highly nervous along the way.

But after a while, the guards who went in to look came out, "There is no one inside, it's safe, it's just that the temple is relatively dilapidated, and there are gray cobwebs everywhere, I'm afraid it's ......" I was worried that Ye Minyu was used to living in a big house on weekdays, and she felt aggrieved when she lived in it.

At this moment, a bright lightning bolt swept by, followed by a dull thunder rolling slowly, and it seemed that it was about to rain.

Ye Minyu laughed: "This king is also a person who has fought a lot of battles, and he can sleep on his head in the mud when he is very tired, and there is finally a temple that can shelter from the wind and rain, and the conditions are good." Let's go, let's go in! Without thinking at all, he took the lead and strode into the mountain temple.

Ye Minyu entered the main hall, and naturally someone was waiting for him to sleep and rest. The captain of the pro-soldiers did not dare to rest like this, only three houses in the mountain temple were intact, but there were more than sixty people in them, and the three houses must not be opened, some people lived in the temple, and the other part had to set up tents and live in tents.

After everyone was arranged, he waited again and went to the four sentry posts in several ways. If you have any problems, feel free to report to him. I have to take care of Ye Minyu's side at all times.

He looked from place to place, telling the guards to make do with something to eat and hurry up to sleep.

After a while, someone reported to him, saying that Ye Minyu had eaten a few pieces of dry food and had fallen asleep. The captain of the pro-soldier breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness is too tired!" ”

The man said, "My lord, you can rest for a while, too!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier nodded, and said to the little soldier; "You should hurry up and rest, tomorrow when you arrive at the summer resort, maybe what will happen!" They are all Ye Minyu's hardcore henchmen, as long as Ye Minyu gives an order, that is, they are asked to wave their knives at the emperor, they will not hesitate to carry out the order.

This pro-soldier captain knows some political things, but he doesn't want to think about it, he only knows that it's right to follow King Zhao!

After the little soldier left, he finished the dry food in two bites, wiped his mouth casually, and sat at the door of the main hall, holding a simple knife, leaning against the wall and closing his eyes. Almost instantly, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long he slept, but he was awakened by a burst of thunder. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, and found that it was already pouring rain outside, but fortunately, although the mountain temple was dilapidated, there was no rain leakage. The sound of the rain is clear in the silence of the night. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and found that he was almost at the end of the day.

He slept for about an hour.

I saw two soldiers patrolling in the rain outside, the rain was so heavy, they didn't bring any rain gear to cover the rain, and their bodies were already soaked, but no one was careless and ran to the eaves to hide from the rain.

The captain of the personal army faintly felt that something was wrong, and immediately stood up vigilantly, recruited a patrolling soldier and asked, "Have the scouts I sent out come back?" ”

He ordered very clearly, whether there was any enemy or not, these scouts should come back in half an hour to report it, but he slept for more than an hour, and no one came to wake him.

The patrolling soldier said, "Everyone is sleeping, no one is coming!" ”

He had arranged for this soldier to patrol the area before he went to bed, which meant that an hour had passed, and the scout had not returned at all.

Then there is a good chance that someone will do it!

He stirred up a cold war. There were too few of them, and His Royal Highness King Zhao was so honorable, he didn't dare to think about it, and ordered loudly: "Go and wake up all the people except the prince!" Call a few more kung fu good, I'm going to go out and see it myself! "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.

After a while, the people came, and he ordered eight people, divided into four roads, and poked over from four directions: south, east, west, and north. It is limited to a quarter of an hour, and all must return to the temple within a quarter of an hour. Then he called a few squad leaders to wait for them with their men and horses.

The people he named didn't care about the heavy rain outside, and they all rushed into the rain. It was dark and he couldn't see his five fingers, which was very conducive to a sneak attack, and the captain of the pro-soldier was very anxious. In such weather, it is impossible to light a torch, and the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which is really unfavorable.

He led a man to search to the west, and after walking a short distance, he faintly heard two faint screams from the south. His expression was dazed, and he immediately led his men to change direction, headed east, and climbed a small hill, and by a little dim light, he faintly saw how many men in black appeared in the night.

Far away, "Whoosh! A bow and arrow passed by his ear, he dodged sideways, the bow and arrow fell not far away, and his subordinates picked up the arrow, and his expression was shocked: "This is the standard bow and arrow in the army!" "A heart sank, if the army sent people to attack Ye Minyu and wanted his life, they really couldn't resist.

Because King Zhao brought too few people. Even if everyone is an experienced elite, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands.

The captain of the pro-soldier immediately decided: "You observe the enemy situation here, pay attention to safety, and I will go back to report to the prince!" "It's not that he's afraid of death, it's that he has to go back and preside over the overall situation.

The subordinate agreed without hesitation.

The captain of the pro-soldiers returned to the mountain temple, and the sentinels who went to the north and the east came back, saying that they had not found the enemy's situation, and the captain of the pro-soldiers just said: "The enemy is in the south!" Ye Minyu has already walked over. He had just woken up.

The captain of the personal army told him the situation, and presented the arrows he had picked up, Ye Minyu took a closer look, "Sure enough, it is the standard arrow in the army!" There was a slight commotion in the crowd. At this time, the little soldier who had been left by the captain of the army to scout in the south hurried back.

"Your Highness...... They're coming...... There are at least more than 300 people...... Everyone carries a bow and arrow...... And it is equipped with a powerful crossbow in the army...... Your Highness, let's hide for a while! After saying these words, he immediately fell to the ground, and a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. An arrow stuck in the back of his heart, and he ran back with perseverance, and when he had finished listening to the information he had returned, and when he had said what he had to say, the breath dissipated, and he could no longer support it.

Everyone was inexplicably saddened and indignant. In such a short time, four or five brothers have died!

Everyone drew their weapons, and there was no one here who was afraid of death, even if they knew that rushing forward would hit the stone with an egg, they would not hesitate to carry out Ye Minyu's order.

Everyone's eyes fell on the young King Zhao.

It happened suddenly, but Ye Minyu was still calm.

They did not carry bows and arrows. The other side was a regular army, armed with bows and arrows, and a few strong crossbows. He knew the power of the crossbow, and he could shoot through the whole horse while running, and without heavy cavalry, he would not have to fight at all.

A slight sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth: Ye Minzhao really did everything to kill him!

Aren't you afraid that your father will find out and expose your plot in broad daylight? It's not that he didn't think that Ye Minzhao would intercept him halfway before he came, but he didn't expect him to dare to do it so blatantly. As long as he survives this assassination, he can easily expose Ye Minzhao's conspiracy next, and at that time, he doesn't have to do it, and orthodoxy will not spare Ye Minzhao.

As long as he survives, he wins.

Ye Minyu faintly felt that something was wrong. Looking at his previous arrangement, Ye Minzhao shouldn't have made such a stupid move.

But the matter has come to this, Ye Minyu didn't have time to think about it, he ordered very calmly: "Get on the horse and go back to Beijing!" ”

Everyone shouted in agreement, rushed into the rain, and turned over on their horses. Gallop back along the official road. The previous road was unimpeded all the way, and until they got here, there should be no problem on the road. However, out of caution, the captain of the pro-army still sent two scouts to the front to explore the way.

Everyone braved the torrential rain to run on the official road, and after a while, all their clothes were soaked. The rain was so heavy that people couldn't even open their eyes, and at this time, no one could take care of this. Because the enemy is only falling behind, and the ghost is not gone. They had wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton and broken them silently, but the brothers who had fallen behind had been shot with their bows and arrows.

Under the threat of death at all times, these guards can still maintain a high fighting spirit, which is the result of Ye Minyu's years of training.

At this moment, one of the two spies who had been running to explore the path ran back, and shouted on his horse as he ran: "Your Highness, it's not good! There is an ambush ahead! Also the regular army! We can't go any further! He had a bow and arrow in one of his arms, and the other guard, who had gone with him to explore the way, had apparently been shot dead.

Ye Minyu reined in the horse with a solemn expression, "How come?" "I didn't find the army when I came! Where did these people come from?

Now is not the time to think about this, the captain of the pro-soldier said anxiously: "Your Highness, what should I do now?" Although the roaring sound of horses' hooves in front of me was gradually heard through the heavy rain curtain, everyone was an old soldier, and when I heard this sound, I knew that there were many people on the road ahead, and there must be hundreds of people.

Ye Minyu looked at the majestic mountains in the west, now there are pursuers in both the north and south directions, and there is no way to run horses in the west, the only way is to the east.

If there is an ambush on the east side...... Then there is only one desperate fight!

Now there are no good options. Ye Minyu turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Keep up with this king and rush forward!" ”

Although there is no official road to the east, there are gentle slopes and hills, and there are no obstacles for horses to run. The guards escorted Ye Minyu forward for a while, and the rain had gradually subsided, and finally it had completely stopped.

The summer rain comes and goes as fast as it comes!

The group changed horses on the way, and had already thrown the pursuers behind them some distance. The captain of the pro-soldier rode his horse to Ye Minyu's side and said, "Lord Wang, it's not far away, it's really Dingwei." Zhendingwei is the territory of Lord Li Ling Li, so we don't have to be afraid of these pursuers. ”

Ye Minyu nodded, feeling even more uncomfortable in her heart.

After running for a while, it was already dark. At this time, a faint thunderous sound was also heard in the east. The captain of the pro-soldier shouted: "It's not good, there are enemies ahead!" ”

And all the faces of the people turned white. They fled in confusion all night, and now they are sleepy and tired, and the more than 60 guards they brought out when they left Beijing have now lost more than 10, and only more than 40 remain. The other party is waiting for work with ease, needless to say, they are more than lucky.

Ye Minyu slowly stopped his horse and took off the spear hanging from the victory hook. I didn't expect Ye Minzhao's scheming to be so deep, and he actually gave him an ambush on all sides, which had to take his life.

Even if he wants to die, he will die with dignity!

The guards all saw Ye Minyu's movements, and they were all infected by him for a while, and they all shouted: "His grandmother's, fight with them!" "Fight!"

Ye Minyu was arrogant, and laughed and said: "Okay, today let's put up a bee arrow array, and rush at his grandmother, and he will die happily!" ”

Everyone applauded in unison, spurred their horses one after another, and soon put on a bee arrow formation with the most offensive formation, and the tip of the formation was Ye Minyu himself.

Ye Minyu shook the reins of the horse, and was about to rush up to fight to the death. The captain of the pro-soldier was very sharp-eyed, and he saw the word "Li" written on a big flag on the opposite side from a distance, and he shouted: "Wait a minute, Your Highness!" On the other side, it seems to be General Li Lingli! I recognize his handsome banner! ”

Ye Minyu was slightly stunned, and everyone was happy when they heard it. Who wants to die if they can live!

The team on the opposite side gradually approached, and this time even Ye Minyu saw the handsome flag. "If it's Li Ling!" Ye Minyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The captain of the pro-soldier immediately sent two people to contact, and after a while, the team was divided, and a group of people rushed from the commander's flag, and the leader was in his thirties, with dark skin and a strong body like a bear, who else was the commander of Hebei Li Ling!

Li Ling looked very excited when he saw Ye Minyu. threw the stirrup and dismounted, and knelt down in front of Ye Minyu's horse: "Your Highness, Li Ling is late, and His Highness has suffered!" ”

Ye Minyu also turned over and got off the horse, helped Li Ling up with his own hands and said, "General Li, you are too polite." If you hadn't arrived in time, this king might have died at the hands of Xiaoxiao. You are the king's savior! ”

Li Ling said: "I heard that His Royal Highness was attacked by bandits on the way to the summer resort, and as soon as I received the news, I didn't think much about it and brought people to rescue him......"

As he spoke, the people on both sides had merged into one. Ye Minyu saw that there were cavalry all over the mountains, and when he looked at it, he couldn't see the edge at a glance, Ye Minyu couldn't help but be slightly surprised. "General Li, how many men have you brought?"

"When the last general heard that the thieves were powerful, he brought all the 5,000 cavalry of Zhendingwei."

Ye Minyu thought to herself, no wonder. He said: "There are two forces of men and horses behind, can General Li send someone to repel them, if he can catch their leader, it would be the best." "When the time comes, I will have the certificate in hand, and see how Ye Minzhao will explain to the orthodox emperor. A charge of killing a brother can make him never turn over.

Li Ling is Ye Minyu's hardcore supporter, and he has always respected Ye Minyu very much, and he was already furious when he saw Ye Minyu and his guards being hunted down so miserably. At this time, Ye Minyu had already vaguely told him about the situation of the pursuing soldiers.

None of the people who can do the second grade are fools, as soon as he heard this, Li Ling immediately understood what Ye Minyu meant, what was involved here was the struggle for the throne, and Ye Minyu's ascension to the throne was something he liked to see. He immediately called one of his deputy commanders to lead 2,000 cavalry to exterminate the pursuers behind. The deputy commander was his confidant, and he gave another order, and the man took the order and turned back with his soldiers and horses.

At this time, the two pursuers had already merged into one body, and even so, there were only a few hundred people. Li Ling's men and horses were outnumbered, and the other side was exhausted from running in the rain all night, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the enemy soldiers immediately broke up and fled in the northwest direction.

The deputy commander made Li Ling's order to take the lead as a witness to bring down Ye Minzhao, and chased after him all the way, everyone was very fast, and he had chased dozens of miles in half an hour, crossing a mountain beam, Li Ling's men and horses suddenly found that a huge valley appeared in front of them, and the valley was densely packed with troops, and all kinds of flags were displayed, among which there were many banners embroidered with five-colored golden dragons, and the deputy commander was immediately dumbfounded, it was the emperor's banner.

The emperor's actions were strictly secret, and even Li Ling didn't know that the orthodox emperor was just at this time and was dragged by Chen Jia to come to this valley to hunt, and Li Ling's men and horses were so murderous that they killed under the emperor's nose.

In fact, neither Ye Minyu nor Li Ling thought of rebelling, but today's scene is too much like a rebellion. When the deputy commander arrived with his troops, Chen Jia had already received the news, and he sent a battalion of soldiers and horses to surround the emperor, and he personally led the other men and horses to meet Li Ling's men and horses.

The deputy commander didn't want to attack the emperor's guards, but Chen Jia didn't give him a chance to explain at all, the emperor went out hunting, and brought a lot more people than Li Ling, there were more than 15,000 people, and there were 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion was firearms.

As soon as Li Ling's men and horses rushed over because of inertia, a gunfire like bursting beans sounded, and then they died like cutting wheat. Seeing this situation, the deputy commander was also a little confused, while gathering the army and retreating back, he sent someone to negotiate with Chen Jia, telling him that he had no intention of mutiny and killing the king at all, and this matter was a pure misunderstanding!

Chen Jia didn't listen to him at all, and before the person who came approached Chen Jia's troops, and before he could say a word, he was shot and killed by the fire guns of the Shenji Battalion.

Chen Jia sat on his horse, brandished a long sword, and shouted hysterically: "Hebei has commanded Li Ling to rebel!" Dare to raid the royal driver, this dog thing without a king and a father, everyone just move forward bravely, kill the rebel thief to repay the emperor's favor, behead the first-level person, and reward five taels of silver! ”

The emperor's side is more than less, and it is such a high reward of silver, everyone moves forward bravely, the subordinates are ruthless, no one leaves a living mouth, and a head is worth five taels of silver!

In just a few moments, Li Ling left hundreds of corpses behind.

The deputy commander also saw that something was wrong. The emperor's Imperial Guards were like crazy, they didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and almost none of their subordinates were alive, and all of them had their heads cut off. He immediately made a decision, gathered his army and retreated, and this matter could only be handed over to Li Ling to deal with.

In the Orthodox tent, Orthodoxy was frightened, angry, and hateful, and saw a scout kneeling on the ground and said, "What you said is true? Ye Minyu, that brute, really got mixed up with Li Ling, a traitor? ”

The man nodded and said, "It's true, His Royal Highness King Zhao and Li Ling are currently camping forty miles away from here, and they have brought a large number of cavalry, and their movements are unknown!" ”

Orthodoxy trembled his hands: "This ...... This rebel! Although someone accused Ye Minyu of wanting to rebel before, orthodoxy has always been unconvinced, and now that the facts are in front of him, he feels unacceptable for a while. A wave of anger attacked the heart, and the orthodoxy fell to the ground with a bang!

There was a sudden panic in the camp tent!

At the same time, Ye Minyu and Li Ling also received a return from Tanma.

"What? Encountered the emperor's hunting team, and our men and horses were defeated by the Shenji battalion? Ye Minyu's face turned pale. Fooled! We've fallen for Ye Minzhao's trick! ”

Ye Minyu knew that her political life was over!
