The sun was shining, and it was a sunny afternoon, and on the Wolf Mountain Post Road, a team of people and horses were walking slowly.

"Xiao Mantang, look, not far north of here, is the Great Wall, do you want to go there to have a look?"

While the men and horses were walking, a young man dressed in brocade and wearing a crown of beads on his head rode his horse to the side of a car in the center of the team and called out to the car.

It's just that although the boy is very interested, the people in the car don't seem to want to respond to him.

"Hey, Miss Wang, why don't you ignore people? Didn't hear me? The young man stretched out his horsewhip to lift the curtain of the car window, only to find that a **-year-old girl was sitting in the car. The girl was made of pink and jade, and she looked very clean, but the clothes on her body were very ordinary, and she even had some scars on her face, and her expression was a little haggard, and she seemed to be very tired. However, all this does not matter, the most important thing is that the girl seems to be angry at this time, so she puffs out her pink cheeks, opens her eyes and stares ahead, just ignoring the young man.

Seeing this situation, the young man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then he could only laugh and say: "That, Xiao Yu'er, we are about to reach the foot of the Great Wall, don't you really go to see it?" ”

"Don't go," Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Xiao Yu'er decisively rejected his proposal, but then looked at him and said, "Who did you call just now?" Who is Wang Mantang? Who is the eldest lady of the Wang family? ”

"Ahem, that, I'm not joking with you," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"Hmph, but I don't like it," Xiao Yu'er frowned, and then said to him, "I think you better not play too hard." It's not that far from the capital, maybe they'll be chasing after them soon, so it's better to hurry. ”

"Don't worry, it's a path I've carefully chosen, and they would never have thought of it. You know, this road goes out of Changping. Ben Huaiyi, then to Zhuo County, and then south to Ulzhou, geographically. But after a big circle, how could those old fellows think that I would travel like this? When Zhu Houzhao spoke, he was full of pride, and seemed to be very proud of his plan.

"You're thinking finely. It's a pity, but it can't prevent someone from ventilating the news, haven't you noticed? We have been on this journey, and there seem to be some people missing from the team, what have you done with these people? Xiao Yu'er looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Why didn't I notice? Zhu Houzhao said with some confusion.

"You have a heart on me all day long, how can you pay attention to these details? If you don't believe it, ask Luo Xiang to come over and interrogate him carefully now, and see what he did, you may not be so happy at that time! Xiao Yu'er glared at Zhu Houzhao and then put down the curtains of the car.

Hear this. Zhu Houzhao didn't feel a little suspicious at the moment, and then he decisively ordered the team to pull aside to rest, and then he found Luo Xiang alone and led him to the side of the dense forest.

"Your Majesty, you, what do you command?"

Luo Xiang followed Zhu Houzhao into the woods with a worried heart, and then asked with a fist.

"Whoa—"

As a result, what Luo Xiang didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao didn't say a word at this time, and directly drew his sword and turned around and pointed at his chest. Cold-eyed frowned and said, "Luo Xiang, I ask you, why are there two less guards under you?" Where did they go? ”

"This—Your Majesty—"

"Say! If you don't say it, I'll kill you right now! Zhu Houzhao glared at Luo Xiang viciously.

"Your Majesty spares your life. Your Majesty spares your life, minions, minions are worried about Your Majesty's safety, so that's why they have the courage to send them back to pass the word to the courtiers-"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was really angry, Luo Xiang didn't dare to hide it. At the moment, he can only kneel and beg for mercy.

Then, when Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately felt a depression in his heart, and then gritted his teeth with hatred and kicked Luo Xiang to the ground, and then stepped forward to glare at Luo Xiang and said: "Okay, you Luo Xiang, you are really bold, you actually betrayed me, do you know what you should be guilty of?!" ”

"The slave deserves death, please punish Your Majesty!" At this time, Luo Xiang also let go, thinking that horizontal and vertical is a dead end, Zhu Houzhao can do whatever he loves, he killed himself if he didn't believe him, after all, he has always been loyal to him, even if he sent the Ouchi guards back to Beijing to report his whereabouts, it was for his good, but not for himself, Zhu Houzhao should not be so indistinguishable from wrong.

Sure enough, although Zhu Houzhao was angry in his heart at this time, he really couldn't do anything if he wanted him to kill Luo Xiang, so at the moment he could only walk around helplessly, and finally looked at Luo Xiang and asked, "Say, how long have they been going?" When did you send them to deliver the letter? ”

"In the wee hours of the morning, at this moment, I'm just afraid that they are approaching the imperial city," Luo Xiang said.

"Bastard, as soon as you send a letter like this, those old guys will definitely send someone to chase after you, hey, you guy, but it's a big deal for me. Hurry, you hurry up and get up, hurry up, immediately order the team to set off, we can't take the Wolf Mountain Post Road anymore, go directly to the south, from the small road to Laiyuan County, hurry up, get up, go to the order! Zhu Houzhao kicked Luo Xiang anxiously.

Hearing this, Luo Xiang hurriedly got up, turned around and ordered the team to set off.

After that, Zhu Houzhao also turned over and got on his horse, and then the team got off the post road and walked straight south.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that after they galloped all the way south for nearly two hours, it was the day was waning, the sky was getting late, and they needed to find a place to sharpen, but they didn't want to, and suddenly on the road ahead, a group of soldiers appeared.

At that time, when he saw the group of soldiers, Luo Xiang sent someone to investigate, only to learn that it was the guards of nearby Sangyuan County, and they were only out to inspect and arrest thieves at this time. Knowing the origin of those soldiers, Luo Xiang put his mind at ease, led the team to move forward, and even suggested to Zhu Houzhao that he wanted to go to Panhuan, the county seat of Nasangyuan, for one night.

As a result, to their surprise, just as they were walking, those soldiers from Sangyuan County passed by from the side, and the leading hundred households raised their eyes to see Luo Xiang's "Zhu" banner in their ranks, and they were a little curious, and then asked Luo Xiang: "Where did you dare to do it for Your Excellency?" Which adult is the escort's driver? ”

Hearing this, Luo Xiang stepped forward and replied: "What we are escorting is the car of the mighty general Zhu Shou, don't stop it, and go on your own!" ”

"What?! Zhu Shou? ”

As a result, what Luo Xiang didn't expect was that when those guards heard the name of "Zhu Shou", they were all stunned, and then they all drew their weapons, and then they let out a shout and rushed towards Luo Xiang and them.

"Daring, what are you going to do? Do you know whose car it is? This is the car of the mighty general, can you really find death? Seeing this situation, Luo Xiang couldn't help but be furious, and then couldn't help but ask those soldiers.

"Hey, we're arresting Zhu Shou! Do you think we don't know yet? This Zhu Shou stole the seal letter of the mighty general, ran out to swagger and deceive, some tricks, has long been exposed by the imperial court, and now the Ministry of War will issue an ultimatum with the five armies to protect the government, and we will arrest the thief Zhu Shou and send him back to Beijing, so that Zhu Shou can be captured alive, and the reward will be 10,000 gold, hahaha, you thieves, you can't escape this time. Come, brethren, all of you, wealth is at hand, don't let them run away! ”

The hundreds of guards shouted at their soldiers, and then those soldiers couldn't help but let out a shout, and then they all rushed towards Luo Xiang and them.

"Damn it, quick, stop them!"

At that moment, seeing this situation, Luo Xiang was furious, and could only order his inner guards to block those soldiers, and then he himself led people to hurriedly escort Zhu Houzhao and Xiao Yu'er, and fled into the distance.

"What happened?" At this time, Zhu Houzhao hadn't figured out the situation too much, so he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Oh, my majesty, Yang Tinghe has used a trick this time. It is very likely that he deliberately sent people to notify the nearby states and counties, slandering Your Majesty that you are a Jiangyang thief, and those guards will arrest Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will not be able to escape, regardless of whether you are caught or go back by yourself, in short, you will definitely not be able to go far. Your Majesty, now, we're in trouble, you see, what can you do here? Luo Xiang looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked nervously.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help frowning, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect Yang Tinghe to be so treacherous, this is the way I have been cut off, how can this be good?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" At this moment, Xiao Yu'er lifted the curtain and stretched out her head to ask.

Hearing Xiao Yu'er's words, Zhu Houzhao immediately told her about the situation he was facing. As a result, after Xiao Yu'er heard this, she frowned and said, "Otherwise, you can go back to Beijing first, I'll go alone." ”

"No, I said I would accompany you to the ends of the earth, and I will definitely do it!" Zhu Houzhao interrupted Xiao Yu'er's words.

"But now that they're arresting you everywhere, what are you going to do? Do you really want to be captured by those officers and soldiers and escorted back to the capital? Wouldn't that be a loss of face? Xiao Yu'er looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.

"No, don't worry, you let me think about it, there will always be a way." Zhu Houzhao used his brain quickly, but after a while, he suddenly patted his thigh and said: "By the way, I have a way, yes, yes, let's continue to go north, get out of Juyongguan, and go directly to the front line of Guyuan." It's already a border grassland, and the territory is vast, so as long as we are careful when the time comes, Yang Tinghe won't want to catch us. Then, let's take a detour to Datong Mansion and go to find Yang Yiqing, and then we will definitely be able to reach Ulzhou City safely, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Luo Xiang couldn't help but be so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground, he had to admire Zhu Houzhao's imagination, so that he could come up with a way to kill himself, this emperor was really crazy.

However, what made Luo Xiang helpless was that Xiao Yu'er seemed to be very in favor of this method, and at this time, I saw her nodding and said: "Okay, whatever you arrange, in short, if you think it is feasible, then boldly try it." ”

"Okay, then it's decided!" Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and then said to Luo Xiang: "Luo Xiang, pass the order, the whole army will go north, direction, Juyong Pass!" (To be continued.) )
