Chapter 173: Saving People
Chen Luo looked around.
They walked on the post road, next to which was the Pai Hudao forest.
"We'll just hide here." Chen Luo looked at the canopy of the tree like an umbrella and said, "Chop some branches and cover them, they should just pass by here, and they won't search the surroundings carefully." β
Several people agreed with his idea, and the leading ranger glanced at Chen Luo a few times, thinking that the second son of the Zhenguo Mansion could be regarded as bold and careful, why did he live so aggrieved?
However, this is none of his business, several of them are neat hands and feet, and they are quickly hidden.
Chen Luo was still a little worried that something would happen, and when a few rangers were cutting branches, he was afraid that someone would see the flaws, so he let them scatter and cut down the trees, not to mention, but also roughly observed the surroundings, thinking about where to run if someone found out.
Soon the dull sound of horses' hooves sounded on the post road.
Chen Luo raised his eyelids and looked through the branches covering his body, and immediately recognized the leading commander of the Yulin Left Guard.
He chuckled in his heart.
Yu Linwei is also the emperor's personal guard, and without the tiger talisman in the emperor's hand, the military department and the governor's office of the five armies cannot be transferred.
Is the emperor determined to keep the eldest prince here?
But this also shows one thing - the eldest prince is estimated not to have been caught.
And he also saw an acquaintance in this group of guards.
Chang Ke's fiancΓ© Wen Zheng.
When a group of iron hooves galloped by, he thought for a moment and whispered to a few rangers, "Let's go, let's follow." β
Several people couldn't hide their surprise.
Chen Luo said: "We don't know where the eldest prince is now, since Yu Linwei's people are here, it is impossible to just watch from the sidelines." Instead of jumping around, we should follow them. β
The flirtatious-voiced ranger was greatly appreciative when he heard this, and said, "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." That's the right thing to do. β
As he spoke, his attitude towards Chen Luo obviously respected a lot.
Several other people thought that he was the first to look at him, and Chen Luo said anything, although he couldn't do it like an arm, but he could be regarded as a ban.
Several people quietly followed behind Yu Linwei. Those rangers are even better at covering and hiding, each with their own methods, which made Chen Luo learn a lot.
It wasn't until Yu Linwei's people and Ma San met in front of a dense forest more than twenty miles away from Lingguang Temple that Chen Luo knew that Yu Linwei had actually come to save the eldest prince on the order of the Qingyun Marquis' Mansion.
The commander of the Yulin Left Guard also questioned Ma San: "Why is my father-in-law here?" The inner servants are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, which is a rule set by Emperor Taizong. The eldest prince was assassinated, but the father-in-law still thinks about how to explain to the cabinet elders, right? β
"He wouldn't want to dump this pot on this father-in-law, would he?" The leading ranger asked Chen Luo in a gnat-like voice.
For most of the day, they watched several good shows.
In the past, they still thought that the officials of the court were pretentious fools, but now they know that the game at the top is many times more dangerous than that of the rivers and lakes. They just hadn't encountered it before.
Or maybe this is in response to the phrase "the ignorant are fearless", and they have since settled down a lot, which of course is all for later.
At this time, Chen Luo felt a hurricane in his heart.
No wonder the emperor is so jealous of the Qingyun Hou Mansion, the emperor's personal guards actually took refuge in the Qingyun Hou Mansion, listened to the instructions of the Qingyun Hou Mansion, and used it by the Qingyun Hou.
"Let's go!" Chen Luo didn't believe anyone at this time, he said calmly, "Since they can come, the eldest prince must be around here." β
"Fishing in troubled waters is my favorite." There was a ranger who grinned and accosted.
The figures of several people disappeared into the woods.
Ma San looked up at the shadow of the tree, pursed his lips, and continued to fight with the commander of the Yulin Left Guard.
Thanks to the blessings of a few rangers, Chen Luo and the others quickly found the eldest prince hiding on a hillside in the dense forest.
He was badly wounded, and he was left with only one father-in-law who had served since childhood and five or six loyal guards.
When he was found by Chen Luo, his face, which was obviously pale due to blood loss, instantly fell, and he smiled bitterly: "Linlang, it is better to be caught by you than to be killed by your father." If you want my life, take it, the people around me, you let them live, just like our cousins, you give me the last dignity. β
In the past, Chen Luo was not familiar with this cousin, and felt that he was a little fake, obviously so eager for that throne, but he behaved lightly and very generously.
This is still the case at this point.
His own life is not guaranteed, and he still pities the people around him, and he is completely moaning and talking nonsense without illness.
The people around him were so grateful that they burst into tears, and they all wanted to die for him.
It seems that his eldest cousin is not stupid, and has already figured out some of the keys.
The villain in Chen Luo's heart rolled his eyes and said, "Big cousin, it's not the time to die yet." If you die, how can I say it clearly. You'd better think about how to walk with me, right? The Qingyun Marquis Mansion had already intervened, and was confronting Ma San beside the emperor. There is no time to lose. If you are ready to continue to stay here and explain the future, I will simply confirm the emperor's suspicions, kill you with one sword, and let Qingyun Marquis and the second prince go to the brains. β
He said sarcastically, but it lifted the eldest prince's spirits, his eyes lit up, and he said, "What do you mean by this?" β
Chen Luo looked at him and didn't speak.
It's not okay to be his ally, it's too stupid.
Sure enough, the eldest prince pondered for a moment and then stood up with a calm face, only picked the father-in-law and a guard beside him, and said to the others, "You stay here." As long as I don't die for a day, you will be safe for a day. I'll go with the second son. If you are caught, you can get through it, and if you can't, it doesn't hurt to say it. Since the emperor has involved you, even if you want to get out, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, and there is no need to hide it. β
In the last sentence, he said it to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo nodded, glanced at a few rangers, and walked out first, giving the eldest prince and his subordinates time to explain.
The eldest prince quickly walked over with the support of his father-in-law, and said with a gloomy face: "Where are we going?" β
Chen Luo looked at the direction and said, "Let's go to the Zhenwu Temple." β
The eldest prince was stunned, did not say a word, and followed behind Chen Luo.
A few rangers are definitely not as powerful as the royal guards, but they are only one by one to make people look sideways.
On the way, the eldest prince couldn't help but say to Chen Luo: "I didn't expect that there would be such a talent by your side, no wonder you can escape and turn back to save me." β
Of course, Chen Luo would not explain to him the identities and origins of several rangers, but said coldly: "Haven't you figured it out yet?" It's not that I escaped, it's that the emperor needs me to escape, otherwise who killed you? How can you blame the second prince? How can I restrain my mother? How to make Zhen Guogong escort the future prince? β
The eldest prince laughed lowly, his laughter was full of grief and indignation, and said, "Yes, we are all chess pieces in the hands of the emperor. However, if you want to say that it is miserable, it is still the second child who is the worst. The two of us were buried with him at most, but the Qingyun Marquis Mansion exposed a little bit of his old family. The emperor knows, but he doesn't know how to be happy? β
Chen Luo didn't speak.
They were in danger and soon touched the Zhenwu Temple.
Chen Luo and the eldest prince both understood that someone must be secretly helping them. But who can help them, they have no way of telling.
The eldest prince looked at the high red wall of the Zhenwu Temple and said, "How do we get in?" β
Chen Luo was expressionless, glanced at him like an idiot, and said, "Of course, I went over the wall to get in." Do you want to expect the Zhenwu Temple to open its doors to welcome you? β
The eldest prince endured and endured, and with the help of the rangers, he finally entered the Zhenwu Temple, but he still couldn't hold back, and said to Chen Luo: "Do you also speak so poisonously in front of the second prince?" β
Chen Luo sneered and said, "You can take a look if you have a chance." β
Even if Chen Luo saved him, he didn't want to talk to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo went and knocked on Xiaoyaozi's door.
Xiaoyaozi was obviously more well-informed than Chen Luo thought, he saw Chen Luo, his jaw was about to fall in shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but Chen Luo said idly, "Won't the Taoist invite me in to sit down", so that Xiaoyaozi came back to his senses, and while he was busy inviting Chen Luo into the house, he looked behind them and said nervously: "Is anyone following you?" β
Chen Luo looked at it, smiled disapprehantly, and said, "I don't know!" β
Xiaoyaozi's face was dark.
However, Chen Luo also pointed at the eldest prince leisurely and said, "This is my eldest cousin." β
Xiaoyaozi didn't know what to put on an expression.
Uncle Chen Luo sat on the meditation chair where Xiaoyaozi usually meditated, and said, "We've been running around for almost a day, let's get something for us to eat!" Aren't you going to see a doctor? Show my eldest cousin, if he dies with you, you'll be in trouble. β
Xiaoyaozi smiled bitterly.
Even if he doesn't die here, he's in trouble, okay?
But he didn't dare to say it. He hurriedly called his henchman Xiaodao Tong to come, prepared a few drinks and meals for Chen Luo, and carefully helped the eldest prince treat his wounds.
Everyone didn't drink, and after the meal was full, Chen Luo didn't hide it, and said to Xiaoyaozi: "It's an eventful time now, the Taoist chief should go and discuss with the mountain people to see what to do?" I'll just go to sleep, and I'll listen to the results of your deliberations when I wake up. β
Xiaoyaozi's face was full of embarrassment, but because of the importance of the matter, he couldn't even say a word of shirk, so he hurriedly saluted Chen Luo and the eldest prince with a red face and left.
The eldest prince said suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid that he will go to the informant?" β
Chen Luo picked up the lid of the tea bowl and knocked on the lid bowl gently, and a crisp sound like a bell chime sounded in the wing: "The capital is a large vanity fair, you don't allow others to make a choice!" When danger and opportunity coexist, Zhenwu Temple dares to compete with Dajue Temple, Xiaoyaozi's news is so well-informed, it is very revealing, why should everyone hide it? β
The eldest prince was impressed by Chen Luo again.
Chen Luo only thought it was funny.
Neither he nor the eldest prince are unknowns, and the longer the time drags on, the less likely it is that the news will be tightly covered.
Once the powerful and meritorious people of the capital knew what had happened, it was impossible for the emperor to continue to hunt them down.
At least not on the surface.
That's their turnaround.
Even if the True Martial Temple wanted to inform, it would not be so dangerous for them.
