Chapter 41: Return to the Central Plains

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been two years since I married the princess, and in the past two years, I have been inquiring about the situation in the Central Plains and trying to go back, but because the affairs of the Wuyue Kingdom are inseparable from me, I can't pull away for a while. As for the throne, I never took it to heart, so I never inherited it. But the old king's health is getting worse day by day, and sooner or later I will have to inherit the throne. But I understand that once I inherit this throne, I don't want to go back to the Central Plains.

One day, suddenly a close minister of the old king came to visit me, and I hurriedly invited him in. From him, I learned that Haji and the others had not only repented after failing in the martial arts competition, but had become even more arrogant, and this time they had trapped the king and queen in the palace. When this close minister learned about it, in order to save the king and queen, he lied that he had returned to his hometown, and he had come to inform me.

After learning the news, the princess was even more anxious, although she had reached the age of eighteen, her temperament was still so anxious, and she was clamoring to enter the palace to save her father and mother.

"Ru'er, you still have this temperament, Haji and others have many minions, and there are only a few people in the palace. I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the safety of your father and mother, in case they jump over the wall in a hurry, things won't be easy. I said.

"Then what do you say......" Yueru couldn't cry.

I took her in my arms and said, "There will be a way." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "You stay at home, I'll save them." ”

"No, I'm going too, that's my parents." Yueru said.

"Okay, I'll take you with me, and don't mess with me." I said.

"Well, I won't." Yueru said.

We went out from the back door of the palace, and in order to prevent Haji's eyes from being at the main gate, we ordered a few family members to carry a sedan chair and said that the princess and I went hunting in the back mountain.

When they arrived around the palace, they were heavily guarded on all sides. We climbed over the wall and entered, and through the papier-mâché windows of the palace, we saw Haji discussing abdication with the old king. Although it is a consultation, it is actually a compulsion. Haji said that if the old king did not agree to abdicate, he and the queen would be killed, as well as his favorite daughter and son-in-law. Only give the old king a stick of incense time to consider.

Hearing this, Yueru couldn't help but scream, and I quickly covered her mouth. Wait until Haji and the others retreat. I broke a hole in the window and crept into the palace with Yueru.

Yueru saw that the old king's trembling hands were about to write an edict of abdication, and hurriedly stopped him: "Father, you can't abdicate, if you give up the throne to someone like Haji, then the common people will not have a good life." ”

"What can I do, if I don't give him the throne, he will kill us. It doesn't matter if I die myself, but you and the queen, I can't let you die in front of me. The king's hand trembled even more, and the pen fell to the ground at once.

"Go, Father, Father and I have come to save you. When we went out, we sent troops against them. Yueru said.

"My child, you are so naïve. Haji has a heavy army, and although I am a king, but the power of the army is in his hands, what shall we use to contend with him? The old king said,

"Anyway, let's go out first." As I spoke, I knocked over the inkstone and jumped out of the window with the old king, and then Yueru jumped out with the queen.

Haji hadn't gone far yet, and when he heard the noise, he immediately sent someone to arrest us, and I knew that I would never be able to escape with the old king and the others, but I couldn't leave them alone. He immediately said to Yueru: "Yueru, take your father and mother to the east along this path, and Xiaoyue and Dake will pick you up." ”

"What about you?" Yueru said.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's go!" I said.

"None of you can escape! Archers, give me arrows. Haji roared.

For a while, the arrows rained like numbness, and more than a dozen arrows were immediately inserted in the body. But I have the gentian bright silver armor to protect me, and these arrows can hurt me in the slightest. I immediately drew my arrow and threw it at the pursuers like a spear, and many of my pursuers fell at once.

I saw that there were more and more pursuers, and I could not fall in love with the battle, so I jumped on the roof, picked up a few glazed tiles, and threw them at them, although the tiles would not directly kill people, but they were enough to smash them all over their bodies. There was no room to fight back.

I took advantage of this opportunity and hurried back to the palace. The gate of the palace was closed, and I climbed over the wall to enter, and saw that the main hall was surrounded by many people, large and small, including the old king and queen. I was relieved to see that they were safe and sound.

I walked into the main room and saw Satsuki and Darker also there, so I hurriedly walked over. When I walked in, I saw Yueru lying on the bed, Yueru had three arrows stuck in her chest, and her lips were already blue, obviously poisoned by the arrows.

As soon as I felt her pulse, the beating was already very small, but there must be help.

I was about to take out three arrows, when I heard Xiao Yue cry silently: "Master Horse, do you want to kill Her Royal Highness the princess, if you don't take out the arrows, she can live a little longer, if you take it out......"

I shook my head and said, "If you don't take it out, the poison on the arrow will hasten her death." Immediately pulled out the poisoned arrow, and three blood holes immediately appeared in the princess's chest, but the blood that flowed out was green.

I took out a snow-capped ice toad from a delicate box in the toolbox, this toad's favorite thing in my life to smoke highly poisonous things, which was given to me by an old doctor before he died, and he used this ice toad to treat countless patients. The so-called suspended animation, just like a bear's hibernation, does not need to eat for a while, but the ice toad's suspended death state can last for thousands of years.

As soon as this ice toad smelled the poison, it immediately woke up, and immediately jumped on Yueru's body and sucked the poison on her body.

Duck thought it was a monster and wanted to kick it aside, but I quickly stopped him.

After a while, Yueru's face changed from pale to a little bloody, and her lips changed from blue to normal color, and everyone was relieved. I put some medicine on her to stop the bleeding and bandaged her up.

"What is this, it's like a mummy." Satsuki screamed.

"This is a bandage, to prevent Her Royal Highness from losing too much blood." I said.

I remembered that there were still a few peaches, so I hurriedly took one and gave it to Yueru, "This peach is a tonic and has the effect of stopping bleeding." I said.

"These peaches are delicious." Yueru said after taking a bite.

Suddenly, Yueru stood up on her own and had to tear off the bandage. I couldn't resist her, so I had to help her remove the bandages. The moment I tore off the bandage, I was stunned, the original three hideous blood holes were gone, and my snow-white skin had been restored.

"What do you see, haven't you seen enough in the same room for two years?" Yueru regained her look.

"No, your hurt ......" I was speechless in surprise.

"My wounds...... What's wrong. She said.

"Your injuries are all healed!" I screamed.

Everyone present was amazed that this peach was like a fairy peach, and it had such an effect.

I told the princess that she still needed some time to recuperate, but I didn't want her to run around and cause me trouble.

Immediately beckoned everyone and slaughtered out of the palace. But Haji and the others were outnumbered, and the palace was surrounded.

I stood on the rooftop and shouted to the street: "Folks, Haji and other rebellious ministers and thieves want to seek power and usurp the throne. If we let them succeed, will we have a good life? ”

The streets were silent, and suddenly someone shouted, "We can't bear it!" For a moment, Haji's troops were surrounded by angry civilians. Most of Haji's troops are locals, how can they turn their weapons at their own people and stand on our side. In less than an hour, Haji and the others were caught.

"Take Haji and the others to the prison!" The king said. Immediately, Haji and the others were escorted away.

"Now, I declare ......" "Wait" I knew what the old king was about to say, and quickly interrupted him.

"Your Excellency, I will never inherit this throne. I have made up my mind, I must go back to the Central Plains, you don't need to say any more. I said.

"And who should inherit the throne?" The old king asked.

"Then it's up to Satsuki to inherit it." I said, and the crowd was stunned.

"Satsuki is shrewd and capable, she will definitely be able to govern the kingdom in an orderly manner." I said.

"But since ancient times, the throne has been passed down from man to woman." The old king said.

"Then make an exception, as long as you have talent and can bring happiness to the people, what is the difference between men and women! Ha ha! In the midst of my laughter, I had already carried the princess on my horse, and the horse rushed out of the city gate and ran to the road to the Central Plains.
