When the time comes, the delicacies are served. The crowd took their seats.

Looking at it, as Chang Rufei said, there is really nothing Rong An wants to eat.

Thanks to today's full-fed, I'm not hungry at all. And she still has two oil-free dry snacks in her purse, which she can pad her chin later when she is hungry.

The Emperor has arrived.

Today's emperor's face is not bad, sweeping away the decadence of the previous period, and with a little blush, his voice is also a lot louder.

Long live the three calls, congratulations to long life, the old-fashioned form is much more streamlined.

At the beginning of the banquet, the monarchs and ministers had fun together, and each said something about the scene.

Then the emperor brought good news, and solved the reason for his good looks.

The news of Yan'an's 800-mile urgency has just arrived this morning.

Yu Bohong went all the way to the north, bringing out the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops with 60,000 men, and released the news: Da Zhou sent 180,000 troops this time, vowing to drive the Tartars out of the border of Da Zhou......

Deterrence worked, and the Tartars began to retreat overnight.

In this way, the goal of the Great Zhou Army was achieved, and it was finally possible to take the direction of the crown prince and Gao Gao's escape as the first goal, and began to conduct a carpet careful investigation without any worries to find the whereabouts of the prince.

There is strength in numbers.

After only half a day's effort, the prince was found.

Unharmed.

……

It turned out that Gao Gao fled with the prince and a few dead soldiers that day.

The prince was in a coma, and he and the prince rode together, even if it was a thousand-mile horse, the speed could not be fast.

And after the Tartars behind him heard that the leader of the Great Zhou was the crown prince, the number of people increased.

It was not easy to escape, Tamari Huma was fast, and their group was caught up in the end.

A group of dead soldiers desperately covered for the opportunity to escape for Gao Gao with the crown prince.

It was fine for the prince to bend over the horse, but the high ride behind him was an arrow in the leg and in the back.

Gao Xindao said that this area was open, and he and the crown prince fled too conspicuously. Reinforcements didn't arrive so quickly, so instead of desperately fleeing, it was better to find a place to hide. Of course, this is also a choice that Gao has to choose. His arrow wound was left untreated, causing him to gradually become unconscious. He couldn't drive the horse, and the horse couldn't run.

After galloping his horse, Gao Gao barely found a cave that had probably been used by people to hide from beasts, and hid in it with the prince. Afraid that the horse that could not run would attract enemies nearby, and that the horse would move, he broke the horse's neck and dragged the horse into the cave.

He pulled out the arrows on his body, took the hemostatic powder from the horse's backpack, and after applying the medicine indiscriminately, he went out of the cave to clean up the blood stains nearby.

While he still had the last bit of consciousness, he thought of covering the entrance of the cave with branches and stones, and leaned the prince on the horse's back. After that, he couldn't hold on, fell to the ground, and fell asleep.

He knew that he and the crown prince would have to hide here before reinforcements came......

It was night when the prince woke up, and he was already frightened by the smell of blood in his nose and the darkness that he couldn't see his fingers. He felt for the fire fold, and found that under him was a dead horse that had been cold and stiff, and lying on the ground was unconscious, and he almost fainted with fright.

He burst into tears and pushed hard. Fortunately, he found that Gao Gao was still breathing, which made him cry with joy.

He thought of being chased and killed during the day, and looked at Gao Gao and the dead horse, but he didn't dare to push open the hole to cover up and go out. He smelled the smell of hemostatic medicine and knew that Gao Gao was injured.

He found the medicine and refilled it for Gao Gao, and turned out a bottle of oral wound medicine and poured it into Gao Gao's mouth......

Yan'an at night is so cold. Even though the cave was sheltered from the wind, the temperature was still frighteningly cold. Zhu Yongxing removed the cushion on the horse's back, wrapped it tightly, and burst into tears.

He said, well, he is not the material for marching and fighting. Why should he be the crown prince? Why should he be tired of military exploits and build prestige?

He never wanted the throne, he didn't want the right to kill and take away, he just wanted to stay in the palace and paint the wind and flowers, the snow and the moon, the plum orchid, the bamboo chrysanthemum. Why is it that his life is inseparable from killing? When he was a child, he grew up watching all kinds of killings, he hated them and avoided them all the time, but did he still end up dying in such killings?

He was so uncomfortable.

In addition to the cold, he was hungry.

Everything he eats is brought from the left and right. So his Chisato immediately ran out of dry food.

He still ate something in the morning, and at this moment he missed the naan and jerky handed by the guards on the road, but he hated it......

Thinking about it, he opened the kettle and swallowed a mouthful of water.

But he found that the kettle had also bottomed out.

He started sobbing again, and this time, he was going to starve to death in a place where birds don't. It's so miserable to die in a foreign land!

Zhu Yongxing suffered all night, and finally waited for dawn.

And Gao Gao finally woke up.

He sat up and faced the situation.

Zhu Yongxing let Gao think high.

Gao Gao bluntly said that the two of them didn't even have a horse at the moment, and if they went out rashly, they would be arrested. Moreover, this place is unfamiliar with the place, and if you walk into the desert, you will be asking for your own death. So I can only wait for my own people to find ......

Zhu Yongxing is not an assertive person, so he naturally obeys his words.

As it turned out, the exorbitant judgment was correct.

Originally, I was hesitant to go out and observe nearby to see if there was a water source. He was about to open the hole when he heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts from the Tartars that they could not understand.

The two of them held their breath and didn't dare to make a single movement.

Nearest, the Tartars were less than thirty feet away from them.

After that, in two hours, the Tartars passed through the land four times, far or near.

The two of them also understood that the Tartars were looking for them.

The fourth time, they finally heard someone shouting, "His Royal Highness the Prince, where is His Highness, my subordinates have come to rescue you." ”

Zhu Yongxing was about to speak, but he was covered by Gao.

Gao Gao made an observation eye at the entrance of the cave, and through the hole, he happened to see that the person who shouted "prince" was not a Zhou person, but a Tartar.

Zhu Yongxing was also frightened, knowing that he had been completely targeted, and he didn't dare to believe it easily.

The two spent the day in torment and hunger.

When night had completely fallen, the whole wilderness was filled with the sound of howling winds.

The view is not good at night, and the tartar usually does not appear at night, so Gao Gao dared to come out of the cave.

Worried about the prince, he didn't dare to go too far, but he never found a water source in nearby activities.

But he found several corpses a hundred feet away. It's all Zhou Jun's.

Gao Gao's face turned dark, these brothers, looking at the pretend, came from the capital with him this time. How many people were killed alone? Looking at the surrounding situation again, Gao Gao had an analysis: these people should have encountered Tartar and were killed while searching for him and the prince.

His heart was bitter, and after the daytime accident, his men must have come out to look for it.

But the terrain is open and unfamiliar, there is no way, and the number of people is not enough, but it is not the prey sent to the door? Gao Gao understands that he can only shrink into the cave in a short time......

He reached out to rummage through his brothers' food and water, and gritted his teeth again. The Tartars were hateful, and they clearly wanted to besiege and kill them, and after killing their brothers, they even emptied their water bottles, took away their dry food, and even took away the medicine they had brought with them......

In the eyes of the crown prince, Gao Gao was full of frustration.

There was no food to drink, no medicine, and Gao Gao also told him that the number of Tartars was obviously more than that of Zhou Jun, and he was afraid that he would have to hold out for a few days if he wanted to get out of trouble, so that he could be mentally prepared.

"A few days? I...... Can only starve to death here? ”

"No, it won't." With a ruthless heart, he drew his sword and cut off a horse's leg. 258

Zhu Yongxing understood, and shook his head into a rattle.

He loved the horse so much that he had painted several pictures of it. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he guessed how the horse had died, but he didn't dare ask. He wanted to bury the horse, but he refused to let it.

At this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself, could it be that this guy had already made up his mind?

Going to eat your own horse? He couldn't.

"If you want to live, you have to eat." With a high stroke of his sword, he cut the fur of the horse's leg and began to process the horse's flesh.

Zhu Yongxing vomited. But his stomach was empty, and he couldn't vomit anything except sour water.

Gao Gao did it on purpose in front of him. No matter how noble he is, he must work hard to adapt at this time, and survival is the most important thing.

"Your Highness, we can't make a fire yet. Even in the cave, there will be light, smoke and smell. ”

Zhu Yongxing vomited even more, so let him eat raw?

Although Gao Gao's words were tough, he actually tried his best to take care of Zhu Yongxing. Although he did not dare to make a bonfire, he took dry branches and made small piles of them, barely burning the horse's legs. After roasting for half an hour, he felt that the smell was heavy, so he hurriedly took the fire and sent the horse's leg out.

"Think of it like a deer's leg." Gao Gao said.

Seeing that Zhu Yongxing did not move, Gao Gao took the dagger and slapped a piece of skin against the fire, and the golden flesh came to him.

Zhu Yongxing is really hungry.

The burnt crispy skin didn't look unacceptable, and he ate it with tears in his eyes, then stretched out his hand in dismay.

He took the whole piece of meat.

He bit down, and the bloody breath made him vomit again......

In his pitiful eyes, Gao Gao had to give him some thin, half-cooked slices of meat.

The two did not speak, and each was silent.

Zhu Yongxing imagined the venison, chewing it twice in his mouth and swallowing it, barely making his stomach feel less uncomfortable. He secretly swore that if he could survive this time, he would not be involved in politics, he would stay away from the government, he just wanted to live his simple life, don't cheat on me, let alone fight and kill!

Another night passed, and after dawn, Zhu Yongxing was dumbfounded and panicked again.

Probably because there was no medicine, and I ate raw food, and the wound was never cleaned, so Gao's wound worsened.

He developed a high fever, and his whole body was dazed, unable to do anything.

Zhu Yongxing has no backbone, and the whole person is at a loss.

That day, he heard the clash of swords and hope.

But in the end, all he waited for was the shouts of the Tartars after their victory.

He was a little desperate.

Finally, in the evening, he learned the techniques of the previous night, and after a long time he lit a little fire, and then forcibly cut a piece of horse meat and removed the fur to roast it.

He was crying profusely, and he didn't know how many days he could last.

What if Gao Gao dies like this?

The temperature in the cave is low, and it will be fine for the past two days, but in two days, what should I do if the horse corpse stinks?

He didn't dare to let Gao Gao die, so he squeezed the oil, gravy and blood from the roasted raw meat into Gao Gao's mouth......

Another day.

Two days.

Three days.

Four days.

He's not dead.

Gao Gao is not dead yet.

Zhu Yongxing finally used his brain, he was afraid that the horse corpse would not be able to eat it after it became stinky.

On the second day after the high fainting, dozens of pieces of horse meat were cut off, and in the middle of the night, a small fire was built every other hour, and the meat was roasted piece by piece, in the hope that it could be left for a longer time. Eating and eating was less disgusting, and he could now eat a whole piece of meat the size of a palm.

The horse bones are roasted, and the fat and oily bone marrow in them are all fed.

The smell of horse corpses is getting bigger and bigger, and today he began to think about whether to get the horse's fur to roast and keep it warm......

It wasn't until the shouts of the tide came that his dagger finally fell to the ground. He listened and listened, and the Beijing sound of the word was exactly the existence of his dreams!

He pushed the cover of the cave door, and his legs could not support his man, and he fell to the ground.

The branches scarred his entire arm, but he had only one thought, he could go, he was saved, he cried and laughed, almost insane......

Under the blue sky and white sun, Zhou Jun, who noticed his movement and came from afar, was so cute!

At a glance, he saw the familiar man riding on the tall horse, who was the first to gallop on a horse with a concerned face!

Zhu Yongxing fell in three steps and waved his arms.

At this moment, he just wanted to kneel down for Yu Bohong, and the blood all over his body gathered into tears at this moment, and he whimpered and cried, unable to say a word for a long time......

Yu Bohong's heart was also sour.

He almost didn't dare to recognize the man in front of him.

This man in rags, with messy hair, a bloody face, tears streaming down his face, and covered in blood stains and scars, turned out to be the elegant and graceful prince in his memory?

"General...... You're here! ”

Zhu Yongxing burst into tears.

"I can finally get out of this hellish place!"

In order to protect the prince's face, Yu Bohong ordered his subordinates behind him to retreat, and wrapped Zhu Yongxing with a blanket to cover his embarrassment.

"Okay, Your Highness is safe."

"General, you are my savior, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Later, Gao Gao was also rescued, and he was treated urgently because of an infected wound.

In this way, the prince disappeared for six days, and he did not die, but he learned to make fires, barbecue meat, eat raw, and save people......

Zhu Yongxing sent a handwritten letter to the emperor, explaining all the things in the past few days, although he had maintained restraint in his words, but he still made the emperor feel distressed.

Yu Bohong asked for instructions, should he escort the prince back to Beijing first, or would he personally take the prince with him?

The Emperor pondered.

The prince failed to gain prestige during this trip, and almost put himself in it. Although he tried his best to cover it up, the whole court did not know about it. But the army couldn't hide it. It won't be long before I think about it, but I still can't hold the fire. The prince's trip can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers, and his incompetent image is afraid that it will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It stands to reason that the prince should indeed be allowed to follow Yu Bohong to eliminate the adverse effects in the army.

But......

When the emperor thought of the torment of the previous two days and the sick grandson, he was afraid for a while.

To be on the safe side, let's get it back first.

Prestige or something, I'll talk about it later.

So the emperor sent a letter and ordered Yu Bohong to send someone to escort the prince back to Beijing. Yu Bohong continued to stay in Yan'an, first shake the Tartars, and return next month no matter what the battle situation is. Although the emperor had no suspicion of Yu Bohong, he still did not want his important ministers to stay on his in-laws' land for more and gain more prestige...... So now that the crown prince has been recovered, the army can also come back if they find a reason.
