The sound of the car was busy, and it was getting farther and farther away, Tan Xiao and his entourage took Emperor Longwu to cross the Chunshui River that night, and ran out for nearly forty miles overnight, and they were about to jump out of the encirclement of King Qin's army.

After receiving the urgent report of the party Shousu, Liu Fangliang and He Zhen led the cavalry to chase quickly, and one person and two horses, people did not stop, after a day and a night of chasing, finally caught up with Tan Xiao on the border of Chenzhou and Hengzhou, the two sides had a fierce battle, Tan Xiao fought and walked, saw more and more chasing soldiers, ordered to break into zero, separate breakthroughs, Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng did all the way, Fu Guan and other Chuxun officials did all the way, Tang Laihe and other captives did all the way, took the small road over Huangling Mountain, took Chenzhou, detoured back to the hinterland of Huguang, and he himself led the army to break off, Try to hold off Liu Fangliang's pursuers.

Liu Fangliang and He Zhen relied on their strong troops, chased Tan Xiao fiercely, and under the repeated fierce battles, Tan Xiao's troops were scattered, and there were only one hundred and ten soldiers left around when they were most embarrassed, in this case, they would definitely not be able to hide people, Liu Fangliang and He Zhen finally determined that Emperor Longwu was not by Tan Xiao's side.

It was pointless to continue to pursue Tan Xiao, Liu Fangliang and He Zhen immediately dispersed their troops and chased in all directions to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Longwu, but they came in a hurry, the troops in their hands were insufficient, and they did not form a tight encirclement at the beginning, and now they have been delayed for so long, and then sending troops to chase after them is also talking about personnel, so they can only pin their hopes on Xiong Wei, the governor of Hunan, hoping that he can find the whereabouts of Emperor Longwu as soon as possible, and even directly snatch back the Son of Heaven and send him back.

What Liu Fangliang didn't know was that He Zhen's subordinates actually caught Fu Guan, Cheng Wen and others, but he kept an eye on it and didn't tell Liu Fangliang, but tightly sealed the news and quietly hid Fu Guan and others......

Xiong Wei, the governor of Hunan, was stationed in Hengyang, the capital city of Hengzhou Prefecture.

Xiong Wei as a provincial governor, it stands to reason that he should set up a government in the provincial capital of Changsha, but Changsha City is the base camp of the Chu Xun faction, and a lot of newly built institutions have been set up, each in charge of a stall, and the power is intertwined, and Xiong Wei, the governor of Hunan, is completely empty.

Hengyang is still the sphere of influence of the Chu army, and Xiong Wei's situation is still difficult, but compared with Changsha, the environment is still much more relaxed.

After the initial hesitation and frustration, he quickly packed up his mood and devoted himself to the work of selflessness, and for two years he has been resolutely fighting against the powerful Chu Xun forces, indomitable, and paying attention to strategies and methods, while protecting himself, he tried to protect the interests of the court as much as possible, and on the surface he and the Chu Xun group were false and wronged, and secretly tried to unite those officials and gentry who were still interested in the court, endured humiliation and heavy burdens, worked hard, and finally gradually gained a firm foothold, although he has not been able to touch the people, property and property power at all levels and places, But in several remote state capitals in southern Hunan (such as Chenzhou, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, etc.), as long as he opens his mouth to make a request, the local officials will still give some face.

Hengyang is not too far away from Yongzhou Mansion, and after receiving an urgent report from He Wusu, Liu Fangliang and others two days ago, Xiong Wei immediately ordered all prefectures and counties to block all roads leading to the hinterland of Huguang in an effort to recapture the Son of Heaven.

It's a daunting task.

But Xiong Wei thinks he has done his best.

In order to avoid alarming the Chu army, Xiong Wei could not openly search for the whereabouts of Emperor Longwu, so he could only ask local prefectures and counties to set up checkpoints on various roads in the name of searching for spies in the Western Army, and then let his henchmen carefully investigate and secretly search. Xiong Wei has been the governor of Hunan for two years, he has neither money nor weapons and equipment, the governor's standard camp is still an empty shelf, and there are less than a hundred soldiers in the full fight, even if there are not many Chu army guards around Emperor Longwu, he is not sure to leave him, fortunately, Liu Fangliang and He Zhen have already brought a large number of cavalry to the vicinity, as long as the whereabouts of the current son of heaven, Liu Fangliang can be notified, and they will send light horses to chase after him, or it is very likely to intercept Emperor Longwu at the last moment.

"Even if you don't be the governor of this Laoshizi, you have to save Your Majesty back, and it's a big deal to follow the holy driver to Guangdong!"

Xiong Wei has followed Emperor Longwu for many years, and has a deep affection for each other, knowing that after he did this thing, it was equivalent to breaking with the Chu army, and he would no longer be able to gain a foothold in Hunan, but he still couldn't bear to see Emperor Longwu being kidnapped and going to Nanjing, and he could only be a puppet emperor for the rest of his life.

Using all the resources in the open and covert, Xiong Wei even did not hesitate to spread false news and fabricate rumors that the Western Army had invaded Hunan, and under the strict urging of the governor's yamen, he finally put several state capitals in southern Hunan on full alert.

After carefully looking at the map over and over again, and confirming that there were no omissions, Xiong Wei got up and walked outside the house, standing silently in the bright moonlight, motionless like a sculpture for a long time, and silently prayed in his heart: "The country's luck, in this move, the villain dares to love the heavens to protect Your Majesty and get out of danger safely." ”

Everything that can be done has been done, and now all that remains is to wait, waiting for the henchmen sent everywhere to find the whereabouts of Emperor Longwu, and then notify Liu Fangliang in time.

……

Between Chenzhou and Hengyang, there is an ancient road in the Qin and Han dynasties, because it is in disrepair, the road is difficult to travel, and there are not many pedestrians and vehicles passing by on weekdays, but Xiong Wei did not ignore here, not far from Chenzhou, a sentry post was set up at the fork in the foot of the mountain, in addition to two or three hundred local county soldiers, Xiong Wei also sent a few henchmen, among whom Xiong Huaien was.

Xiong Huaien was not originally surnamed Xiong, just a child of an ordinary family in the south of the Yangtze River, because the family did a small business, so he could write and calculate, and he was quite eye-catching.

Fortunately, he met Xiong Wei by chance, Xiong Wei accidentally moved his heart of compassion, saved his life, and then he changed his name to Xiong Huaien, and became a subordinate in the Xiong Mansion, because the literacy and hyphenation people are smart, and gradually come out to be reused, and now he is a steward in the Xiong Governor's Mansion, although there is no rank and no rank, but he often contacts all parties on behalf of Xiong Wei, and sometimes the face is greater than that of the Qipin County Order.

Xiong Wei sent him here because he valued his loyalty, reliability, and ability to take charge of himself.

After Xiong Huaien learned of the major mission of this trip, he was shocked, and was deeply moved by Xiong Wei's trust and reuse, and said with tears in his eyes on the spot that the Son of Heaven would not take this road, as long as he took this road, he would fight for his rotten life and leave the Son of Heaven.

After leaving the governor's yamen, Xiong Huaien's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time, there is no doubt that Xiong Wei gave him a great opportunity to get ahead, as long as the Son of Heaven bumped into his hands, he would be able to soar in the future, and the only thing he could do now was to pray to the heavens, and send the Son of Heaven quickly.

……

Yao Qisheng and Tan Xiao broke through separately, in order to reduce the target, they only brought thirty or forty soldiers with them, and a carriage ridden by Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng.

In order to avoid accidents, Yao Qisheng did not contact the local government, only added some necessary supplies in the town, and bypassed Chenzhou City by small road and marched to the hinterland of Hunan.

Turning to the north, not far out of Chenzhou, entering the boundary of Hengzhou Prefecture, Yao Qisheng in order to avoid people's eyes, chose a deserted ancient road to Hengyang, although he knew that Hunan Governor Xiong Wei was in Hengyang, but Yao Qisheng was not worried, Hengyang has a regular army of the Chu army stationed, as long as he enters the barracks, he can ensure the safety of Emperor Longwu.

But just halfway through, the scouts who were exploring the road came back to report that there was a checkpoint blocking the road in front of them, and there were two or three hundred soldiers guarding the card, all equipped with knives and guns, and a few good horses tied to the side, which seemed to be used to report the news.

"In such a remote place, why is there suddenly an extra checkpoint?" Yao Qisheng smelled a hint of danger.

I don't know if the other party is friend or foe, but the appearance is too weird, nine times out of ten it is for Emperor Longwu, since they don't dare to openly play the banner of welcoming the driver, most of them have bad intentions.

There are two or three hundred soldiers guarding the card, and the strength is nearly ten times that of Yao Qisheng, but since they were sent to escort Emperor Longwu, these soldiers are the elite of the Chu army, and they should be able to rush through if they force their way through, the problem is that the number of the other party is too large, and it is difficult to eliminate them all.

It is even less advisable to go back the way you came.

Yao Qisheng pondered for a moment, decided to bite the bullet, and then act at the opportunity, in other words, if he can mix, he will mix, and if he can't mix, he will do it.

The group escorted the carriage of Emperor Longwu to the sentry post.

The county soldiers in front of the sentry post had already seen this elite small army, as well as the carriage with the stars holding the moon, there was no doubt that sitting in that carriage must be a big man in the Chu army, so there were so many murderous guards, and at first glance they were battle-hardened warriors.

"Could it really be that guy coming?"

Xiong Huaien's heart jumped a few times, his eyes were full of heat when he looked at the carriage, he waved his hand to stop his eager companions, stepped forward, and personally examined and interrogated.
