Chapter 1150: The Battle of the South

As soon as everyone is born, they begin to carry some things, the expectations of their parents, the responsibilities of the family, and the bitter hatred shouldered by people like Yang Fan.

As you grow older, a person has more and more things to bear, as long as there is a chance, no one wants to get ahead, for themselves and their families, to strive for a better life, but there is too much bloody wind and rain on this temple, Yang Fan gently stroked Dugu's eyes, and his heart felt chills.

People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, wolf smoke bursts, straight to the south.

Yang Fan turned over and said to the guards waiting beside him: "Leave two people to send his body back to the city!" ”

After that, Yang Fan knocked on the stirrup and galloped towards Zhongnan Mountain.

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Yang Siqiao looked at the five or six horses left in the mountain col, then looked up at the lush mountains and forests, and said anxiously: "Quick, immediately fence this place, immediately send people back to transfer troops, can't let the prince run away!" ”

Lu Maofeng hurriedly transferred troops to defend along the mountain, but fortunately, all the cavalry he was chasing this time was cavalry, and it was very easy to disperse. On the way here, Yang Fan met the person who returned to the city to report the news, and learned that the prince had gone up the mountain, but when he went to the bottom of the mountain, he couldn't search for it, because he cherished the horsepower, so he slowed down.

Yang Fan rushed to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain with more than a dozen personal guards, and saw Yang Siqiao anxiously turning around at the foot of the mountain. This foothill is sparsely populated and full of vegetation, and the villas built by those wealthy families are not in this area, and if you enter this lush forest, it will be like a fish in the sea, and it is difficult to search.

When Yang Fan saw this situation, he couldn't help but scratch his head, now that he was like this, only Emperor Yuming could mobilize a large group of people and horses to search along the mountain.

In the jungle on the mountain, Li Chongjun leans against a towering green pine. Muttered to himself: "How so? How so? How did it fail in an instant? ”

Li Chengquan glanced at this poor worm with pity, and the excitement of the ups and downs, joy and sorrow, seemed to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a little abnormal, thinking about the sudden failure, Li Chengjing couldn't help but sigh.

He looked around and saw the four surviving soldiers sitting on the ground tiredly, two of them wounded, and the other two were tearing off their shirts and helping them with a simple bandage.

Li Chengquan climbed a boulder and looked down the mountain. The undulating jungle was like the waves of the sea, and it was impossible to see the situation in the col from here, and Li Chengjing couldn't help but feel worried.

Such an ending was really a bit unexpected to him. Actually, he didn't think about the possibility of failure, but according to his thoughts. Failure is also failure in the palace, and if he fails, he will take advantage of the chaos and slip away. He had already arranged a house in Chang'an City. Plenty of water and food for 10 days. When the time comes, hide for a while, and then go to Lu Gongzi.

But he didn't expect to accompany the prince to escape, and at first he panicked, and only after leaving Chang'an City did he think of escaping to Zhongnan Mountain. The current situation was completely unexpected, what should he do?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

A night of terror. When dawn came, the palace finally fell silent. Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace to visit the Son of Heaven, and the prime minister Li Xian and Princess Taiping also hurried to hear the news. Crying and crying, he entered the palace to see the driver, and the two groups of people cooperated and walked to the palace.

In the palace, Li Xian was like a frightened bird, and arranged several cousins, nephews and uncles of the Wu family to Yulin Weizhong, temporarily took over the left and right Yulin Guards to control the palace, and sent people to interrogate the prisoners and arrest the prince's remnants.

Suddenly, he heard that the prince had fled to Zhongnan Mountain, and because of the high mountains and dense forests, a large number of troops needed to be sent to search the mountain, Li Xian immediately ordered Zhao Sishen, the commander of Guoyi, to lead a large group of men and horses to reinforce. Besides, the identity of the prince is too sensitive, once he really escapes, no one can predict what chaos will happen.

Li Chengjing waited for the prince to calm down and adjust his breathing, so he discussed the way out with him, but what idea could Li Chongjun have?

If Wu Zetian did not strictly control Li Xian back then, and Li Xian had the courage to resist, as long as he could escape, there would always be a feudal official who dared to take him in, and helped him rebel under the banner of Kuang Fu Li Tang.

But now it is Li Tang's world, and Li Chongjun, the crown prince, has never befriended any important ministers, no matter who he defects to, it can only be one result: he was kidnapped and sent to the capital. The only people who have the ability to help him, and who can do something under his banner are King Xiang and Princess Taiping, but will these two people help him?

Li Chengguo thought about it, and suddenly remembered that the Lu family had a separate courtyard on the other side of Zhongnan Mountain, and now he could only risk getting in touch with the Lu family to ask about countermeasures. Li Chengquan told the prince that he would walk around and spy on the situation in order to decide what to do next.

Li Chongjun has always regarded Li Chengguo as his most haode friend and brother, at this moment, he still does not have the slightest suspicion of Li Chengqing, neither suspects that he has been just using himself, nor does he suspect that he may escape alone in the face of great disaster, Li Chongjun's trust makes Li Chengquan secretly ashamed.

But this shame was only a moment before he left it behind, Li Chengquan is not without feelings, but in his heart, there are too many things more important than feelings, that is, interests and everything related to interests.

When Li Chengquan rushed to the small villas at the southern foot of Zhongnan Mountain hidden among the pines and cypresses, Li Xian's soldiers and horses had not been sent, Li Chengquan carefully searched in the forest, and finally found an elegant manor with a four-character plaque of "Lu'an Thatched Cottage".

Li Chengguo saw that there was no one around, and he mustered up the courage to rush into Lu Nunnery, originally wanting to find the Lu family slaves who stayed here and let them go to Chang'an City to report to Lu Gongzi, but to his surprise, he actually saw Ding Yue here. Ding Yue is the blue-robed man who has always been by Lu Binzhi's side, and he is Lu Binzhi's chief strategist.

When Li Chengjing saw Ding Yue, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "Mr. Ding, why are you here, and Gongzi is also here?" ”

Ding Yue snorted coldly and said, "How can the prince be in danger lightly? ”

"So?"

Ding Yue said: "Childe has been paying attention to your actions, you fled to Zhongnan, Childe thought that you were very likely to find our people nearby, so he sent me here to wait for you." Even if you're smart, you've really found it. How did you do it, how could something go wrong when it was supposed to be nine out of ten? ”

Li Chengquan said with a bitter face: "Mr. Ding, Li ......"

Ding Yue interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, it's useless to talk about it now." Tell me quickly, is the prince okay? What's going on now? ”

As soon as Li Chengguan told him about the situation, Ding Yue paced with a deep groan.

Li Cheng said: "Mr. Ding, the prince is gone, and he can only be regarded as an outcast, so let's leave." ”

Ding Yue glanced at him and said, "Just stop like that?" Do you know how much effort Childe has put into you and the prince? ”

Li Chengquan said with a bitter face: "But ...... The prince has failed, and there is no use for it. ”

Ding Yue said gloomily: "No! He...... There is also a use. ”

Li Chengjing was stunned and said, "What's the use?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The crown prince Li Chongjun was pacing anxiously in the forest, last night the palace changed, after escaping from Chang'an, he has not eaten a little until now, so that his stomach is hungry, but Li Chengjun has not returned, and he can't leave, so he can only wait anxiously.

After another moment, there was a sound of a rope in the grass, and Li Chongjun took two steps back and shouted in a low voice: "Who? ”

The four guards immediately drew their swords and stood guard, and Li Chengquan came out of the grass with sweat on his head, and said, "Thank God, I made marks all the way, but I almost got lost." ”

When Li Chongjun saw that it was him, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Chengquan, how is it, have you found a way out?" ”

Li Chengquan shook his head with a bitter face, and said, "Prince, the outside of the mountain has been heavily surrounded by officials and soldiers. ”

Li Chongjun was dumbfounded: "That...... So what to do? ”

Li Chengquan said: "Prince, we can only go to the mountains now, the farther away from them as possible, and then we will find a way to sneak out when it gets dark." There are so many mountains here, I don't believe they can defend everywhere. ”

Li Chongjun said in frustration: "It's just like this, let's go, let's leave immediately!" ”

The six quickly left their place and walked into the depths of the reckless jungle.

Li Chengquan had already gotten some food and water from Ding Yue, although he tried his best to pretend to be exhausted, in fact, it was far more physical than these five people, but he still looked very tired with mud and water under his feet.

A few men had not gone far, and the jungle became thicker and thicker, and only one person drew his sword and slashed in front, and the rest of the people lined up to advance from the path he had opened. As he walked, Li Chengquan suddenly said with a footstep: "The prince will go first, and it will be convenient for me." ”

Li Chongjun did not doubt that he had him, and followed the guards who wielded the knife to open the way, and moved forward with difficulty, Li Chengguo fell on Zuihou, his eyes rolled slightly, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Nope! He...... And one more use! ”

"What's the use?"

"The emperor has decreed that the crown prince will be killed. Li Qianli, Li Duozuo, Sha Zhazhongyi and others are all dead, as long as the prince is also dead, who else knows that the prince's rebellion is your idea? Your current official position is not high, and no one will suspect that you are the main culprit of the rebellion, as long as you kill the prince, you will not only be innocent, but also meritorious. When the emperor is employing people, as the person who slashes the crown prince, can he still worry about you? Then you will be the emperor's henchman! ”

"What? This...... It's too dangerous, in case the emperor won't spare me......"

"Stupid! What is the identity of the emperor, how can he break his word? If he kills you, who will return to the Son of Heaven when there is another incident in the future? Is the emperor willing to break the trust of the world for you alone? Bearing the situation, wealth and danger are sought, you don't want to hide your name and wander the rivers and lakes from now on, right? ”

Thinking of a conversation with Mr. Ding, Li Chengquan bit his teeth secretly, quietly pulled out a cold dagger from his waist, and tiptoed up like a tanuki.
