Chapter 91: To Chase or Not to Chase (I)
Emperor Qinghua's cracked lips were raised, and an ugly smile was squeezed out, "Quickly let the Tianlin Army catch up with the other soldiers...... No, let the people flee first. ”
After listening to Emperor Qinghua's words, Qilin Hou Wang Lie immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. There were countless people surrounded by the fire, and if they were allowed to leave first, perhaps the prince would have fled to Xuzhou. ”
It is an exaggeration to say that the prince can escape to Xuzhou, but Wang Lie's words are not unreasonable, if the people are allowed to go first, Rao will not be able to catch up with Huang Hao even if he puts on his wings.
Emperor Qinghua began to struggle in his heart, "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" ”
Wang Lie smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much about the safety of the people, although the fire is big at this time, it is impossible to burn half of the imperial capital for a while." As long as I go and return as soon as possible, the people may be unscathed when we return from victory. ”
"This ......" Emperor Qinghua still hesitated.
Wang Lie saw that the opportunity was not waiting for anyone, and his heart turned to the military order: "Your Majesty, the last will be guaranteed by the head of the head, and when you return from a great victory, you will return a bunch of people who are jumping around." Although His Majesty led the troops to the battle, as soon as His Majesty went out, the last general would immediately organize the evacuation of the people. ”
With Wang Lie staying here, Emperor Qinghua was indeed much more relieved, but considering that Wang Lie was a martial artist, he was afraid that he would not be able to evacuate the crowd, and he had to arrange someone to assist him.
"The Prime Minister is here?" Emperor Qinghua turned his head and asked Bai Qian beside him.
Bai Qian Shi Shi replied: "The prime minister is behind to comfort the widows and widows of the deceased. If Your Majesty wants to find the Prime Minister, call him over. ”
Bai Qian's level of observation and expression is rare in the world, he looked at the movement of Emperor Qinghua's eyebrows, mouth and nose, and immediately ordered the little eunuch beside him: "Why don't you go and invite the prime minister over." ”
Huang Qingyun, an old man, hid in his sedan chair, and there were all kinds of people outside the sedan car, and he hummed a little song relaxedly. If Emperor Qinghua hadn't ordered him to follow him into the city, maybe tonight he would have indulged in wine in the mountains and rivers outside the south gate, and he would be happy and immortal.
The Qinglou Xiaoqu learned from Cuiyunfang couldn't be on the stage, and it was full of flavor when it was hummed at this time, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long, Bai Qian suddenly came to his ear and said in person: "Lord, Your Majesty is invited." ”
Huang Qingyun was taken aback, looking at Bai Qian's serious face, he didn't know whether this guy was intentional or unintentional, and followed Bai Qian to the position of Emperor Qinghua with his head down.
"I've seen Your Majesty." Huang Qingyun relied on the throne of the king side by side, and there was no need to kneel and bow, it was enough to make a long bow.
When Huang Qingyun arrived, Prime Minister Xu Mingyuan also came.
For some reason, Xu Mingyuan's beard was partially burned, and with his old face smeared with black ash and an official uniform, he looked unaware.
Xu Mingyuan was talking to Emperor Qinghua, "I don't know why His Majesty called the old minister here?" ”
"The scout came to report that they had found a gap and could enter and exit." Emperor Qinghua looked at his sloppy and ridiculous appearance, knowing that no matter what his ambitions were, he still cared about the people, "I decided that the army would go out to chase the prince first, and you would assist Qilin Hou in arranging for the people to escape." ”
Of course, Xu Mingyuan had the unshirkable responsibility to respond, and at a critical juncture, he couldn't afford to consider why he was headed by military generals. ”
Emperor Qinghua then said to Huang Qingyun: "It's about the future of Daheng, I can't choose alone, so you can go with me." ”
Huang Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, Emperor Qinghua actually let him meddle in the affairs of the royal family, which is worth excavating. After all, although Huang Qingyun has always held the high title of "shoulder to shoulder with me", he has never been able to call himself a member of the royal family.
Qinghua Emperor This is? Even if there are thousands of conjectures, it is too late at this time. Mounted on their horses, the two rode the horses prepared by the soldiers, and ran towards the escape route. In order to save time, Wang Lie asked the army to go out first, while Emperor Qinghua and the side king caught up later.
Huang Qingyun is drunk and dreams all day long, lingering in the Qinglou, who knows that his equestrian skills are also amazing.
Sitting on horseback, he is like two people on weekdays, and he is brave and martial when he controls the reins and rides the horse, which is not inferior to Wang Lie, Xu Minghui and others.
Under the whip of the horse, in just a stick of incense, Emperor Qinghua and others reached the gap in the fire ring.
For some reason, there was a gap left here under the fire. Emperor Qinghua couldn't help but suspect that it was Huang Hao's trick, maybe Huang Hao laid an ambush over there, and waited for Emperor Qinghua to come to the door to die.
However, the spies came to report that there were no ambushes ahead. The troops walking in front did not find anything unusual, and the road was smooth and unimpeded.
Emperor Qinghua is by no means a cowardly and timid person, even if he suspects that there is an ambush in front of Huang Hao, he will break through.
The fire shines on people's faces, reflecting a warm red, but this warmth is so strong that the sweat on everyone's foreheads has not stopped.
There is no fire on this road, but there are raging flames on both sides, and walking in the middle is like an oven. Fortunately, the road is not long, otherwise ordinary people may not be able to complete this road.
Will they be able to finish the road when the fire spreads?
Emperor Qinghua had already walked half the way, if it weren't for the fact that the horse under his crotch was so hot that he didn't want to walk more, maybe he would have walked out of this gap in the fire.
He guessed in his heart that Huang Hao had made a mistake and forgot to ignite this area. There was fire on both sides, and the enemy simply had nowhere to ambush. And at the exit there was an open space, and the enemy had nowhere to hide.
"What a ridiculous, lovable oversight."
The two armies were at war, and they were negligent in such a place.
As long as he leads the army out of the circle of fire, are you still afraid of Huang Hao? Even if Huang Hao surrounded him into a realm where there was no way out, Emperor Qinghua had the confidence to break through.
The fire was still spreading, and Emperor Qinghua walked out of the circle of fire, and it was dark in the distance, apparently not on fire.
Emperor Qinghua led the soldiers who walked out one after another, and the assembled soldiers continued to walk towards Huang Hao's station.
