After Zhao Ling easily left the palace under protection, he looked at the five horses that had been arranged at the gate of the palace, stepped forward, grabbed the reins of the horses, and couldn't help frowning.

The young general of the Royal Forest Army who followed behind him saw Zhao Ling's movements and stepped forward to ask, "Your Highness, but what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Ling looked at the ignorant appearance of the young general of the Imperial Forest Army, then looked back at the magnificent imperial city that was engulfed in the night, and hesitated and said, "His Royal Highness always feels that all this seems to be a little too smooth; The combat effectiveness and defense capabilities of the Royal Forest Army should not be broken through so easily. ”

The young general of the Imperial Forest Army explained: "It may be that we have specially selected off-the-beaten-path paths to leave the palace all the way, so it will be extraordinarily smooth. ”

Zhao Ling's eyebrows were still frowning, he shook his head, and said, "No!" It's too smooth, but it makes people very uneasy, and after going through so many things, His Royal Highness doesn't dare to underestimate his father's means and abilities; I always feel that I seem to be free now, but in fact I am still led by an invisible thread, behind the unnoticed attention of His Highness, there is a person behind the scenes who is controlling everything and manipulating the overall situation. ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, the young generals of the Imperial Forest Army also began to feel a little uneasy, "Your Highness, what should I do then?" ”

Zhao Ling immediately said: "Whether all this is His Highness's imagination or true, His Highness believes that no matter how much he thinks now, it will be useless; Let's go back to King Ling's Mansion first, as for whether someone deliberately manipulated all this, His Royal Highness felt that since he wanted His Highness to continue walking, and wanted me to see what happened next, then I would continue to go down disrespectfully, and His Highness wanted to see what would happen next. What does he want me to see? ”

Hearing Zhao Ling's words, the young generals turned over their horses one after another, protecting Zhao Ling's side, and the group took advantage of the night to ride fast horses like lightning in the dark night, and ran towards the direction of Ling Wangfu.

Zhao Ling was concerned about Chu Xingyue's injury, and he couldn't wait to fly to her side in the next second, holding her tightly in his arms and comforting her; However, when he was about to return to King Ling's Mansion, he saw the light of the fire rising in the direction of the palace from a distance, and the heart that had been hanging high seemed to have been thrown to the ground by someone, and it was shattered into several petals in an instant.

How familiar was the scene in front of him, there had been a similar fire in the inn in Taiping Town, and he hurried back after blocking the thieves who had come to trap him, and what he saw was that the tongue of fire engulfed the entire inn, and almost swallowed his reason.

In an instant, the uneasiness in Zhao Ling's heart became more and more serious, he always felt that something bad had happened, otherwise, he would not be so flustered.

"Quick! Go back to King Ling's Mansion! ”

Hearing Zhao Ling's urging, the royal forest soldiers who were protecting him shook the whips in their hands even more, and everyone was full of energy and rushed towards the palace like crazy.

However, when they just rushed back to King Ling's Mansion, they saw the Imperial Forest Army in charge of guarding King Ling's Mansion flying out of the palace, and a young general standing behind Zhao Ling grabbed the fastest Imperial Forest Army and asked, "Yu Liang, why did King Ling's Mansion go out of the water?" What are you doing in such a hurry? ”

Because Zhao Ling's head was covered with a huge hood, he was not recognized by the Imperial Forest Army who ran out of the palace, and the man who was called Yu Liang was the leading general who was responsible for guarding Ling's palace, Yu Liang recognized the brother who grabbed him and asked, and said with a look of anxiety: "Don't mention it, the palace is suddenly evil enough, but I didn't expect the princess to disappear at this time; Now, we seriously suspect that this walk was most likely done by someone sent by the crown princess; You let go of me, I still have to find someone, if I lose the crown princess, the emperor will blame it, and our brothers don't want to live. ”

Hearing Yu Liang's answer, the young general of the Imperial Forest Army who grabbed Yu Liang quickly let go of him, and at the same time turned his head to look at the prince who had turned over and got on the horse, and there was obviously a rush in his eyes.

First Chu Shizi escaped from prison and disappeared, and now even the crown princess has disappeared without a trace, do the children of the Chu family like to play the game of disappearing?

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

Zhao Ling sat on the back of the horse, because of the cover of the hood, no one saw the coldness of his eyes and the coldness in his eyes at this time; However, the creaking fingers that almost grasped the reins betrayed the heavy mood he had tried to restrain at this time.

He couldn't hear the shouts of the palace because of the fire, and it was more as if he couldn't see everything around him, and the whole person seemed to have instantly turned into a ruthless and desireless iceman, except for a pair of black seeping eyes looking faintly ahead, and his thin lips couldn't say a word for a long time.

However, in his mind, what the young general of the Royal Forest Army named Yu Liang said just now was constantly circling.

In his heart, at the same time, a voice kept echoing, telling him: She is gone again! She's gone again! …… She's gone, gone......

The echo of this sound was like a poisonous steel needle piercing his whole body, and every inch of skin on his painful body was about to tear, and this was not the most unbearable for him, the most unbearable for him was the result of being abandoned by her again.

This ruthless and unrighteous woman, this heartless woman, what is he Zhao Ling to her? A plaything that she can throw away at will? Or is it a waste that can be easily parted with?

The resentment turned into hatred in an instant, and the hatred for a person that had never been seen before turned into a bloody storm in the sky that swept mercilessly towards him in an instant.

He kicked the stirrup under his feet hard, and the reins in his hand were thrown fiercely by him, and then he heard a fierce 'driving' sound, and the horse under him rushed into the night like an arrow from the string.

The tall and straight figure plunged into the night in an instant, like a warrior who rushed into the mouth of a giant beast desperately, with a resolute air all over his body.

Seeing Zhao Ling riding away, the young generals of the Royal Forest Army who followed him were all stunned by the situation in front of them, and they didn't even have time to ride their horses, so they hurriedly chased after them, shouting: "Your Highness, Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"

Even if the legs and feet of the young generals are fast, it is impossible to catch up with the fast horse that Zhao Ling is riding, and after chasing for a while, the four young generals all slowly stopped, looking at each other and not knowing what to do.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter? I looked at it and it didn't seem quite right. ”

"What could happen?! Your wife is gone, won't you be in a hurry? ”

Hearing this, the other three reacted and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

The man: "What to do?!" Of course, it was to help, the Grand Commander told us that we must follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, and now that such a big thing has happened to His Royal Highness, how can we sit idly by; Anyway, we left the palace, and there was no other choice but to follow His Highness, brothers, don't blame my brother for speaking directly, let's think clearly, the moment we follow His Highness out of the palace, the Imperial Forest Army's side, the emperor's side, has nothing to do with us; In the future, we will all be the people of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and together with His Royal Highness, we will be both prosperous and lossy. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the other three Imperial Forest Soldiers all showed resolute expressions, "That's right, from the moment we leave the palace, we have no choice; Right now, the whereabouts of the crown princess are unknown, it is the time for us to show ourselves well, if we can show our faces in front of the prince, and His Royal Highness will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, are you still afraid that you will not have a good life? Anyway, I have decided, and from now on, I will follow His Highness's side. ”

"Me too, it's decided that I won't go back to the palace."

Listening to the harmony between the good brothers, the four young generals of the Royal Forest Army decided the direction of their lives at this moment, and then, the four of them ran back to the palace, led their horses, and chased the direction of His Royal Highness the Prince's departure.

……

After Chu Xingyue was taken out of King Ling's Mansion by Wuchen and Wushuang, the group seemed to have made an appointment, and they were not in a hurry to leave the city.

It was now the second half of the night, and the city gate had already been keyed, and Wuchen and Wushuang had excellent martial arts, and they could easily run out of the city over the city tower, but with the three of them dragging oil bottles, no matter how great their ability was, they could not easily take them out without alarming others.

Therefore, running towards the city gate at this time is simply the most unwise choice.

And the important thing is that although the fire in the palace has attracted the attention of the Royal Guards, the Royal Guards who have been selected through strict training are not mediocre, and when they gradually calm down, they can find that this fire is strange, and then they can detect that they have escaped from the palace.

In such a situation, the Imperial Forest Army will definitely search near the city gate as soon as possible, so if they want to leave the capital safely under the minions of Emperor Showa, the most important thing they need to do now is to find a safe place to hide first; In the next few days, the entire capital will not be peaceful, but as long as they avoid this time, when the limelight of the search has passed, they can use other identities to quietly leave here.

The moment Wuchen decided to take Chu Xingyue away, he had already planned everything in his heart.

Although he lived in Longquan Temple and rarely went out over the years, he still quietly placed a few properties in the capital; After all, his identity is special, even if he is quite successful in incognito, he has to guard against accidents.

If one day his identity is revealed, he might as well escape with the hand he left behind; It's just that what Wuchen didn't expect was that the back road he left for himself was not used by himself, so he used it for Chu Xingyue first.
