"Xu Lin? That's a good name. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhu Youlang nodded, but he had nothing to say, although he was thanks to this little eunuch along the way, he was the emperor after all, and what could he say with a little eunuch. Do you want him to thank the slaves and maids?

However, although he didn't speak, Zhu Youlang was still a little nervous, because Xu Lin said that the cat bear rarely hurt people, but it didn't mean that it wouldn't hurt people. Zhu Youlang was worried that the cat bear would suddenly go crazy and bite him, or shout there to attract the pursuers, so his nerves were tense, and when he found out that something was wrong, he would immediately run away. Fortunately, after swinging around the edge of the pool, the bear slowly went into the woods, ignoring the two strange creatures it had never seen before. When leaving, the bear also glanced back at Zhu Youlang.

The night gradually deepened, and although it was August, Zhu Youlang, who was dressed in a single clothes, still felt the chill. Xu Lin had a fire fold on his body, but he didn't dare to find dry firewood to make a fire, because it would be easy to be discovered. Zhu Youlang was very tired, he leaned against a stone and looked up at the vast night sky. In the night sky, countless stars shimmered. Fortunately, although there was just a dragon here, there was no rain, otherwise, a heavy rain would have caused the two of them to suffer greatly.

"I've never felt the starry sky so beautiful."

Zhu Youlang sighed with emotion, since he ascended the throne, he has been tired of running for his life, it can be said that in the past sixteen years, he has almost been on the road of escape, and he has never stayed in an unknown place as alone as today, quietly looking at the night sky.

"When a man is about to die, his words are good, and when he comes to me, he is about to die, and everything is good." Zhu Youlang shook his head, no matter how beautiful the starry sky was, he couldn't fly up to the ninefold. Now he is thinking about how to live.

Xu Lin, who had been sitting there with his arms crossed, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you really fall into the hands of the rebels or the Taiping army, your life may not be in danger. ”

Zhu Youlang was stunned, and his body involuntarily leaned towards Xu Lin's side, and asked him, "Why do you say that?" ”

Xu Lin whispered: "Except for Wu Sanfu, has Your Majesty ever heard that someone is going to kill you?" ”

"You don't understand, Wu Sanfu wants to kill me because he can't protect me anymore. Although those people did not say that they wanted to die, they must die. Zhu Youlang sighed, "The queen once asked me why I had to run, but I didn't tell her why at that time. Now I will tell you why, the reason is very simple, the Ming Dynasty cannot have two emperors. My existence is a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and he and Zhou Shixiang respect me as the Emperor, and that is because I did not fall into their hands. I really want to appear in the southern capital, do you think that Tang Wang and Zhou Shi will meet and rest assured? .... Why did the Qing court hunt me down, and why did Wu Sangui welcome me? Because I am the emperor, the Son of Heaven who has been an emperor for 16 years! .... My identity as the Son of Heaven cannot be changed overnight, I have great righteousness, and there are many soldiers and civilians in the world watching me! So, they had to die... If I die, they can be at ease, otherwise they will have to guard against me... A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, but can this kingdom have two kings a day? ... If it were you, would you keep me alive? ”

Zhu Youlang's expression was very sad. The pain of choosing one or the other is difficult for outsiders to understand. When he and Shaowu fought for the emperor's unification, didn't he also fight his head and bleed, and he wanted to tie up Shaowu and cut him down?

Xu Lin was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid what you are thinking about now is exactly what they are hoping for." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Youlang looked at Xu Lin puzzled.

Xu Lin lowered his arms and said slowly: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that killing the monarch is a mortal crime and an unsightly thing, does Nandu really dare to do this?" Aren't they afraid that the soldiers and civilians in the world who care about the Ming Dynasty will be cold to them? ... Therefore, if the emperor really went to the southern capital, the slaves and maids dared to conclude that not only would they not kill His Majesty, but they would still worship His Majesty as the Emperor and protect His Majesty's safety, because they needed to give an explanation to the people of the world and give themselves a proof. ”

"Proof what?"

"Prove that they are not afraid of Your Majesty, because only the weak will fear that Your Majesty's presence will be a threat to them."

Zhu Youlang was stunned, this little eunuch's thoughts were incompatible with what he thought, but after thinking about it carefully, it also made some sense.

Xu Lin said again: "The slave maid thinks that if the emperor wants to live, the only way to go out is to go out from here, so that those who are looking for His Majesty know that His Majesty is still alive." Only in plain sight will His Majesty's life not be in danger, because they don't dare. Otherwise, in such a place that no one knows, His Majesty would have killed himself. ”

"Hey, don't worry, they won't find me." Zhu Youlang waved his hand, he was still confident in this, he didn't even know where this ghost place was, let alone those chasing soldiers.

Xu Lin saw that His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of listening to him, so he had to ask, "Then where is the emperor going?" ”

"I don't know."

Zhu Youlang really doesn't know where he can go, he will definitely not go to Wu Sangui again, and he will not go to the Taiping Army, looking at the world, it seems that there is really no place for him. In the middle of the ring, he suddenly became a little excited and said: "It's really not good, let's go to King Li Jin, he is loyal to me, and he will treat me well." ”

Listening to His Majesty's plan of the Emperor, Xu Shuang was speechless, if he remembered correctly, just last year, His Majesty the Emperor also issued an edict to reprimand the King of Jin for leading troops for no reason, and asked the border Tusi to send troops to fight him. Now, thinking about going to King Li Jin's again, it's really hard to know what to say.

"King Li Jin is outside the border, if Your Majesty wants to find him, this road is very long and difficult." Xu Lin reminded His Majesty the Emperor that the road he was going to take was not easy.

"It's okay, I'll go out with you day and night, and avoid those levels. No matter how far this road is, I have to go, the emperor lives up to his wishes, as long as I don't give up, I can finally see King Jin. ”

Although Zhu Youlang is cowardly by nature, once he has a goal, he has to insist on doing it. Just like the first day he ascended the throne, he made it his emperor to survive. As it turned out, he has been sticking to this goal for 16 years. Now, he has a new goal.

"Your Majesty, no matter how far the road is, there is an end... That is, His Majesty can reach the King of Jin safely, what will he do in the future? Is Your Majesty still the same as before, living in the wilderness until he dies of old age in a foreign country? ”

Xu Lin's eyes flickered like the stars in the sky, but Zhu Youlang didn't notice anything wrong at all. He just trembled: yes, no matter how far this road is, there is an end, and it was not easy to return to China from the border, so should he go back like this? Will you never be able to return to your home country for the rest of your life?

Zhu Youlang frowned, as if he was thinking about an extremely difficult question!

Seeing this, Xu Lin slowly got up, looked around, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about abdicating?" ”
