Chapter 14: Escape on a Moonlit Night

(P.S new book upload, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, thank you.) )

The night was deep, everything fell into a deep sleep, and there was not a sound in the silent field. The day was near, and the moon hung like a disc in the sky, shining with a clear light that shone on every corner of the earth.

Completely inconsistent with this quiet artistic conception, in the wilderness, there is a life-and-death chase going on.

An old man galloped in front of the car, and in front of the car were several knights covered in blood, each of whom was galloping forward with their horses, their armor reflecting a sharp light in the cold moonlight.

Beyond that, there was an endless stream of pursuers, hundreds of soldiers shouting in unison, driving away the silence of the night.

The horses under the crotches of several cavalrymen experienced fighting and running in the middle of the night, and now white foam gradually gushed out of their mouths, and they couldn't run. The pursuers behind him did not show the slightest sign of giving up, and at this moment, seeing the fugitive's speed slowing down, he couldn't help but let out an excited cry.

A knight in front of the car grabbed the reins of his horse and shouted loudly: "Lord Han, the last general will escort you here, you take the young princess first, and I will block you for a while!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he turned his horse's head and ran headlong into the countless enemy troops. Seeing this, the other knights did not run away, and all of them slapped their horses and followed their companions forward to fight.

"Okay, don't worry, the old man won't let you die in vain!" Han Tan clenched his teeth, his eyes widened angrily, and his hands tightened the reins, and the horse pulling the cart ran faster.

The knights who turned back immediately met the pursuing cavalry troops, and almost in the blink of an eye, their figures were drowned in the pursuers of the brigade, like a small stone crashing into the tide, and disappeared without any splash.

In the face of absolute numbers, the power of individuals was negligible, and their death could only be delayed for a moment, and the pursuers barely paused, and immediately pursued the carriage in front of them.

"Grandpa Han, can't we get to Xitui?"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a pretty face, and sitting in the carriage was a girl dressed in palace clothes, the girl frowned, obviously knowing that the situation was urgent at the moment, but there was no trace of panic in her tone, and she seemed to have looked down on life and death.

She is the only blood left by Gongziying, who reigned for only forty-six days, and she didn't have time to give her little daughter a title, so everyone called her the young princess.

When Xianyang broke ten months ago, she was pretended to be a palace maid by Han Tan and miraculously escaped, but by chance, the young princess happened to be met by Han Wangcheng and brought back to the camp. Fortunately, Han Wangcheng has been busy with the affairs of the country recently, and he and Zhang Liang have been dealing with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang every day, so the young princess has not been harmed.

Now that the battle has completely ended, the rebel army is very careless, which makes it easy for Han Tan to succeed. But how could the camp of the first army be so easy to get in and out, and on the way out, the group was discovered by the Han ** team and fell into the pursuit of the army. Han Tan originally wanted to take the young princess to escape back to the West Dog Hill, the birthplace of the Qin family, thousands of miles away, but now it seems that there is no chance.

The girl took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, rolled up her sleeves, leaned forward to wipe the sweat on Han Tan's head, and said softly: "Why is Grandpa Han obsessed, in fact, when my father died, Ying'er was ready to commit suicide, why did you take the lives of yourself and other soldiers?" ”

The speed of the horses became slower and slower, and the shouts of the pursuers behind him were clearly audible, Han Tan's eyes were red, and he muttered: "If you don't repay your kindness, it's no different from a beast, don't worry, Grandpa Han won't let you die!" ”

He suddenly shook the reins of the horse, and the horse galloped in the other direction with a long neigh, and the young princess saw that the car had deviated from the original direction, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Grandpa Han, the direction is wrong, this is not the road to the west." ”

"That's right, let's go to Xianyang City first, and now only one person can keep us."

The car rolled up yellow dust, looking dusty in the moonlight, and the pursuers behind the car also followed the car away from the original road, and the group of people killed towards Xianyang City with great momentum......

Zhang Han was dragged up directly from the bed by Zhang Ping, and he was in a daze and only heard the noise of people outside the palace, as if something had happened outside the palace.

"Big brother, something is wrong, Han Wangcheng led people to surround our palace!" Zhang Ping's face was panicked, and the sudden change caught him off guard.

"What?" Zhang Han suddenly came to his senses and grabbed Zhang Ping's collar, "We have no grievances with Han Wangcheng, how could he suddenly come to surround the palace?" ”

"This ...... A few days ago, the senior who claimed to be his father's deceased suddenly came to visit, and he brought a woman with him, saying that you asked him to bring ......"

Zhang Ping's voice became smaller and smaller, because he saw that Zhang Han's face was getting darker and darker, and the eyes that stared at him were almost murderous.

"I didn't know this old guy was a liar...... Why don't I hand them over? Zhang Ping cried with a sad face, he had scolded Han Tan, the old boy, a hundred times in his heart at the moment.

"Hmph, everyone has surrounded the palace, what's the use of handing people over now, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot? Alas, forget it, it's over, let's bring them first. ”

Zhang Han was really depressed at the moment, when he heard Han Wangcheng, Zhang Han realized that it might be Han Tan's ghost, Zhang Ping didn't know Han Tan's true identity, and he couldn't blame him. Han Tan's background behind this person is too troublesome, and if he digs it out, he won't be able to please himself, so Zhang Han is also in a dilemma for a while.

He let go of Zhang Ping and walked towards the front yard, asking as he walked, "There is no excesses in King Han's army outside, right?" ”

Zhang Ping hurriedly followed: "No, Han Wangcheng has not arrived, and they don't dare to set foot in our Yongwang Mansion, just ......"

"Just what?"

Zhang Ping gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Although King Han's subordinates dare not attack the palace, they have been shouting and scolding outside, for fear that it will alarm many people. ”

Hearing this news, the corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitched, this King Han's men and horses don't take themselves too seriously, how can Xianyang City be a place for them to go wild at will. His current image has finally been whitewashed a little, but he didn't expect to be scolded at the door tonight, but now he has lost face in front of the people of Xianyang.

But complaining is complaining, he can only suffer this dumb loss, Han Tan is clever at cooking raw rice and cooking rice, and he is worthy of being an old fox who sacrificed a plan to kill Zhao Gao, and he put Zhang Han into the pit all of a sudden.

There is no way, the initiative is no longer in his hands, Zhang Han can only go to see Han Tan first, and then make plans for the future.
