"I have promised you, what else do you have to believe." Hongshi was anxious to get rid of the steel knife on his neck, and wanted to persuade Hongli to let down his guard with words, but Hongli had experienced so many things, how could he believe him anymore, and let him say that the lotus flower was just deaf, waiting for Wang Zhong to bring Ah Gui here.

It is quite a distance from the Dingwang Mansion in the capital, although Wang Zhong is quick to whip his horse, it took two hours to bring Ah Gui.

When Ah Gui stood in front of Hongli and the others, they could hardly recognize this person as Ah Guilai, and there was no skin and flesh on his body that was intact, and his flesh and bones were like firewood, and he was not as thick as before.

Ah Gui's tragic situation shocked Hongli and Zhaohui's hearts, Zhaohui almost couldn't hold the steel knife in his hand, but he kept his mind in time and didn't let Hongshi and those secret guards find an opportunity to take advantage of. After Hongli supported Ah Gui, he said sharply: "You go and prepare two fast horses for us now, and then prepare a thousand taels of silver without any mark." ”

Wang Zhong did not dare to slack off, and prepared everything according to his orders, and then Zhaohui took Hongshi hostage and left the dungeon, and forced him to get on the horse as well.

Hongshi refused to get on the horse, and said: "I have asked people to prepare all the people and things you want, what are you still holding me hostage?" ”

"If we let you go, I'm afraid that we will be killed by random arrows as soon as we get on the horse, so we can only grieve the second elder brother for a while. Go up! After all of them got on their horses, Zhaohui said to Wang Zhong and the secret guards who were standing in place: "Once I find out that you are secretly following, I will immediately kill your master." ”

Wang Zhong was willing to obey and said, "But what if you don't let the prince go at that time?" ”

"Believe it or not." Throwing down these words, Zhaohui held the reins in one hand and the reins in the other, rode his horse and galloped, Hongli and Ah Gui also followed closely in a group of horses, and after a while, they were far away from the sight of Wang Zhong and others.

Wang Zhong was so anxious that he turned around and said to the leader of the secret guard: "How is this good? ”

The leader of the dark guard thought for a moment, asked people to find a few horses, and after getting on the horse with a few secret guards, he said: "The only way to do this is to follow from afar, and then wait for the opportunity to save people." If they really want to be unfavorable to the prince, even if they take risks, they have to rescue the prince. ”

Let's say that Hongli and the others held Hongshi hostage for a while, and looked back from time to time while running, although he didn't see the pursuers, Hongli still felt not very relieved, and said: "Zhaohui, I suspect that those secret guards have been following behind, but they know the way of concealment, so we haven't been able to find out, if it continues like this, it will be very bad for us." ”

"Since you know the way, don't let me go quickly, or all of you will die...... Yes! As soon as Hongshi said a word, he was stabbed by Zhaohui in the neck, and he couldn't die, but he suffered a lot from flesh and skin.

Hongshi hated it so much, damn Zhaohui, it was best not to fall into his hands, otherwise he would not be able to survive and die.

Zhaohui slowed down and said, "It seems that my words just now failed to bluff them, if we really kill him, I am afraid that those secret guards will kill us desperately." ”

"So what now?" In their original plan, they had no intention of going back at all, but now they had to think carefully.

Zhaohui glanced at Hongli and said solemnly: "Fourth Elder Brother, can you not kill Second Elder Brother for the time being?" ”

"Don't kill him?" Hongli stared at Hongshi, whose neck was full of blood, his eyes were full of hatred, this person had harmed him repeatedly and four times, so that he couldn't even enter the capital now, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood. And this time, in addition to saving Gui, there is also the life of Hiroshi.

"Yes, as long as you don't kill him, I have a way to get rid of those guards." Zhaohui's words puzzled Hongli, and at this time Ah Gui reluctantly spoke: "Don't let him go, otherwise the fourth elder brother will be killed by him sooner or later, and it is better to kill him now." ”

"Gui, don't say it again." Saying this, Hongli said ruthlessly: "Zhaohui, I promised you not to kill Hongshi, if there is any way, you can say it quickly." ”

He can die with Hongshi, but he must not involve two good brothers who were born and died for him, let alone let them die. As for Hiroshi, he believes that there will definitely be a chance to kill him in the future.

"Good!" After Zhao Hui agreed, he suddenly rode his horse and galloped until he came to the top of a small hill, and after pushing Hongshi off his horse and watching him roll all the way down the hill, he shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

It's impossible to get rid of those secret guards, but if you hand over Hiroshi to them, you will only make yourself more dangerous, so the only way is to put Hiroshi in a dangerous place, so that those guards are busy saving people and take care of them without flawlessness, but this is also dangerous, if many guards come and send some people to chase them, then they will also be in danger. And it depends on their luck.

It turns out that their luck is really good, the number of those secret guards is not large, after seeing that Hongshi is in danger, they gave up the pursuit of Hongli and went to save Hongshi, and when they saved Hongshi and wanted to chase Hongli, they had completely disappeared.

Hongli and the others galloped wildly, running for more than a hundred miles, and only after making sure that no one was following them did they slow down the horses that were already tired and breathing, Zhaohui looked around the slightly desolate surroundings and said: "We have to find a place to stay before dark, and it is best to find another doctor to treat Ah Gui's injuries." ”

Ah Gui endured the pain on his body and complained: "Zhaohui, why did you want to release the second elder brother just now, he will definitely find a way to kill the fourth elder brother when he goes back." ”

Without waiting for Zhaohui to speak, Hongli had already said: "Ah Gui, don't blame Zhaohui, this is my idea, and it has nothing to do with him." Besides, at that time, if we didn't release Hong, several of us would have been killed by those secret guards, and I would also be dead, and it would also affect the two of you. ”

"Let's ......" Ah Gui just said two words, but was interrupted by Hongli: "You listen to me first." He paused and said: "I know that you want to say that you two will protect me and escape, but you two have paid enough for me, and I don't want you two to die because of me, so that even if I return to the palace and become the fourth elder brother again, I will not be at ease for the rest of my life." At this time, for me, the lives of the two of you are the most important thing. ”

Hongli's words moved Ah Gui a lot, but he was also worried, "Can ...... But what should we do now, the capital can't go back, and Hongshi sent people everywhere to search for us, is it just hiding in Tibet? When is this going to be the end! If you want me to say, you should have forced Hiroshi to take you into Beijing at that time, so that everything would be solved. ”

Zhaohui shook his head and said, "You think too simply, if we really make such a request, even if we kill Hongshi, he will not agree." Because once the fourth elder brother is allowed to see the emperor, the second elder brother will be finished, and with the crimes he committed, even if he does not die, he will be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for the rest of his life. ”
