In the cold wind, a group of big men rushed towards the child.

The child was thin, panicked, and burst into tears, but he didn't cry out, he just bit his lip and ran desperately, even though he knew very well that he couldn't outrun those behind him.

The wind was howling, and as the boy ran, he suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and his palm was bruised as a result, but he quickly got up and continued to run forward.

However, at this time, the man in black and the soldiers of Datang had already caught up, and the knives in everyone's hands were waving in the air, as if they could kill him at any time.

Whoosh......

There were a few more sounds of sharp arrows breaking through the air, and the black-clothed people and Datang soldiers chasing behind immediately fell down.

At the same time, a man suddenly rushed out of the shadows, and this person was extremely fast, and when he came out, he picked up the boy and ran back.

The arrows were still shooting, covering the man, and it was only after the man galloped with the boy onto a fast horse that they finally stopped.

The chase and the break lasted for about half an hour, and after half an hour, those who had broken off finally dispersed.

The black-clothed man and the Datang soldiers who were chasing and killing were still continuing to chase and kill, but the two of them were on the same horse, and they didn't know where they had run at this time.

The night is coming, and the cold wind is heavy.

The two stopped in front of a ruined temple, and the man flew off the horse with the child in his arms and entered the ruined temple.

The ruined temple was ruined, a gust of wind blew, and the broken door creaked, and the cobwebs inside were blown around.

And in front of a toppled Buddha statue, a burly man stood.

"Master Jin, when we rushed there, there was only this little prince left."

Hearing this, the golden leopard suddenly turned around, with a fierce aura in his eyes.

"What's your name, and who is your father?" Whether it is Li Jiancheng's child or Li Yuanji's child, the golden leopard is actually not familiar, so when he saw the thin boy in front of him, he was not sure that he was Li Jiancheng's child.

Although the boy felt that the man in front of him was a little scary, he was somewhat relieved to see that they were not fighting and killing him with a knife.

"My name is Li Chengluan, and I am the child of King Qi."

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi's child?" The golden leopard's eyebrows suddenly condensed, what their prince wanted was Li Jiancheng's child, and now he has rescued the child of His Royal Highness King Qi, what is this.

"Rubbish!" At his subordinate, the golden leopard scolded.

The man trembled and said: "Master Jin, it is the incompetence of his subordinates, but when he went down, the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been killed, and it was not easy to save such a person. ”

Hearing this, the golden leopard's expression moved slightly, and then he asked, "Among the children of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is the same age as him?" ”

"Only Li Chengming, the king of Runan."

The golden leopard nodded, and then hugged Li Chengluan: "Little prince, do you want to live?" ”

Li Chengluan's eyes immediately showed a look of horror, and he looked at the golden leopard: "You...... Are you going to kill me? ”

The golden leopard suddenly smiled, and that smile made people feel like a spring breeze, and this point may not even be known to the golden leopard himself.

"As long as you are obedient, not only will I not kill you, but I will also protect you well and not let anyone kill you."

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, you won't be Li Chengluan in the future, you're Li Chengming, understand?"

"I'm Brother Chengming?"

"That's right, you are Li Chengming, so that we can better protect you."

The young Li Chengluan didn't know why the man in front of him wanted to change his name, but he knew that if he wanted to live, he could only do what this person said.

So, after the man finished speaking, he nodded: "I'm Li Chengming." ”

The golden leopard laughed again, and then instructed the person to himself: "You go back and report to the prince, I will take Chengming to the prince's fiefdom to hide temporarily, and wait for the prince to do something." ”

The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Jin, do you need to explain this matter clearly to the prince?" ”

"Say, you can't hide it from the prince."

Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the palace seemed a little deserted.

There is no feast, no vigil, just a cold wind, and lonely people who look out at the night.

Li Shimin has already lived in the palace of the heart of the palace, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this year he canceled the palace banquet, so at this time, he was the only one sitting alone in the palace.

At this moment, he couldn't say how excited he was, on the contrary, when he sat in such a high position, he felt an indescribable loneliness and loneliness.

After that, all the joys and sorrows can no longer be confided in others, and even these emotions must be expressed more carefully.

He knew that while he had gained something, he would also lose something.

The palace is deserted, but there is some bustle outside the palace, every household has a lamp, even if Li Shimin stays in the palace, he can still see the light outside the city, and there are some children who can't help it, and when it is not midnight, they have begun to set off firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers, Li Shimin suddenly laughed when he heard it.

If you can make the world peaceful, the people live in peace, and you are a little lonely, what if you can?

Just as Li Shimin was thinking like this, a spy suddenly came in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is news."

Li Shimin came back to his senses from his conjecture and asked, "What news?" ”

"Except for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's children, something went wrong."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression immediately froze, what he was most worried about was that there would be problems after these children left the capital, because any child who escaped could become a hidden danger to his empire in a few years.

"What's going on?"

"While we were killing those children, suddenly a group of people appeared and rescued them."

"All saved?" Li Shimin clenched his fists, if they were all rescued, it would be as simple as a hidden danger, it would be a disaster.

"No, only one person was saved, and the others were killed."

"Who was rescued?"

"Li Chengluan, the son of the King of Qi."

For Li Chengluan, the son of King Qi, Li Shimin's impression is vague, for so many years, he can say that he has only seen this child twice, and it is at the palace banquet in the past two years, in his impression, he seems to be a very naughty child.

It seems to be very naughty.

Li Shimin thought so, and then ordered: "Tell the eldest grandson Wuji, let him secretly investigate Li Chengming's whereabouts, and get rid of him immediately after finding it." ”

"And how do you deal with this?"

"On the way to distribution, I encountered robbers, and all the children were killed."
