In the night, the fast horse galloped through the forest against the wind and rain, and went in the direction of the west of the city.

With the silver sprinkled out, Liuyue was already able to determine who the masters of those people were, but this made him even more anxious. Madame is still in the city, and now that the capital has been mostly blocked, Madame can't get out of the city, how dangerous it should be to stay in the city......

The man in his arms was very ill and almost unconscious. The more quiet she was, the more he couldn't let go, knowing that her body was not suitable for hurrying, and he had to go over the mountains and mountains without stopping.

In the past, he didn't understand why his master would risk his life in order to save his wife, and even sneaked into the Xia Kingdom in person, but now he understands, if he really meets someone who can make him desperate, not to mention the sword mountain and the sea of fire, even the underworld can't stop it.

They rode their horses to the wilderness, and the mountain roads were rough and muddy, making it more and more difficult to walk.

Li Qingqing's whole body was hot and burned like a fireball, and if she hurried down like this, she would not be able to bear it.

Liuyue found a ruined temple halfway up the mountain, barely a place to live. He took Li Qingqing in, helped her lie down on the dry grass, sat beside her and shouted, "Girl? ”

Li Qingqing's lips opened and closed slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.

Liuyue picked up withered grass and firewood to make a fire, and the flames broke through the darkness, making Li Qingqing feel warm. She opened her eyes slightly, and before a few people began to shiver again, she shouted hoarsely, "It's so cold." ”

Liuyue took off her coat and covered her body, her thin clothes could not withstand the cold of the night in the mountains, and she shivered more and more......

He stretched out his hand to help Li Qingqing up, and his sensitive hearing caught the sound of rustling outside, and he was vigilant, and instead held the sword beside him.

Liuyue was about to extinguish the fire, when a few cloth-clothed men suddenly jumped in outside, and when they saw him, they saluted in unison: "I've seen the Grand Dudu." ”

These are the people who helped in the execution ground during the day, Liuyue remembered, and replied: "Thank you." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor doesn't need to say thank you, I am the guard of Xiyuejian, and I came to help the Metropolitan Governor on the order of the old prime minister, and I followed all the way to see if the Metropolitan Governor and Miss Li are safe." The guard also said, "Metropolitan Governor, the forbidden army is searching and arresting along the official road in the suburbs of Beijing, and the road to various county towns has been blocked by the forbidden army, so it is not appropriate for the metropolitan governor to take Miss Li to break through." ”

Whether they were sent by the old prime minister, or did they come with his wife, Liuyue knew in her heart, so she was silent.

The guard handed over a burden: "This is the old man's entanglement to the Metropolitan Governor, the old man asked me to escort the Metropolitan Governor and Miss Li to a safe place, now Miss Li is not lightly ill, I will wait for Miss Li to send Miss Li to the nearby village for treatment tonight, I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor wants?" ”

Liuyue took the burden and asked bluntly: "Where is Madame?" ”

Several people glanced at each other. They bothered to cover it up, but they didn't expect to be broken by the Metropolitan Governor, and the young lady asked them not to mention her to the Metropolitan Governor, because they were afraid that the Metropolitan Governor would worry about her safety.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the guard told the truth: "Go back to the governor, madam...... Madame is still in Beijing. ”

Liuyue's heart sank, took the sword and got up and said, "I'm sorry for you to help me send Qingqing to heal, and I'll go back to Shangjing to take my wife out of the city." ”

"Dadu Governor, Madame stayed there to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince, the master has agreed to this matter, please rest assured." The guard said, "The rain outside is about to stop, without further ado, the Metropolitan Governor will take Miss Li and leave." ”

Outside the temple, the rain began to fall less and less.

Jiang Rong waited alone in the hall, according to Mei Xiaoren's explanation, prepared a table for a banquet, he looked up, saw Han Ke arrived at the door, and greeted him with a smile without waiting for him to salute, "Cousin, please inside." ”

Han Dutong hurriedly bowed his hand: "Your Highness, the last general is afraid." ”

"Cousin is polite, you and I are a family, you don't have to see outside." Jiang Rong smiled and said, "The queen mother went early, and as soon as the queen mother left, my grandfather's family was divided, and I blame me, who is not a cousin, and I don't walk around with my cousin much, but I always remember my cousin, so I specially prepared a thin wine today, and asked my cousin to talk about it." ”

Jiang Rong led Han Dutong into the table, and personally picked up the wine jug to pour him wine, "I don't know if my cousin is on an errand in the guards, everything is good?" ”

"His Royal Highness Lao cares, and some of the generals are good."

"No one embarrass my cousin, I'm relieved, these days I can't help myself, I'm worried that someone will treat you badly because you and I are cousins." Jiang Rong lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, and raised his wine glass to salute Han Dutong, "That's it, today you and my brother are reminiscing, don't say these bad words." ”

Han Dutong drank the wine in the cup and sighed: "What happened to His Highness, the last general knows that the last general only hates his humble position and can't solve problems for His Highness." ”

"Speaking of which, I can't help my cousin, although I have made many suggestions to my father and asked my father to be promoted to cousin, but cousin, you also know that in court affairs, my father often has more than enough heart and not enough strength." Jiang Rong said helplessly, "My cousin is still a Praetorian Guard, so I am so wronged by my cousin." ”

"Your Highness, where is it, the last general can become the commander of the guard, and he has been taken care of by His Royal Highness and the former queen, and the last general is grateful."

Jiang Rong picked up the wine glass and stood up, walked around the hall, and said gloomily: "You are my cousin, except for my father and cousin in this palace, I can no longer find a relative." With that, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Jiang Rong's words were sad and sensational, and Han Dutong also called out affectionately: "Your Highness." ”

"If I am a prince with real power, I must entrust my cousin with important responsibilities, just like my imperial grandfather valued Wei Guogong back then, but my imperial grandfather ignored one point, Wei Guogong and him are not relatives, can you face our Jiang family?" Jiang Rong looked at Han Dutong and said seriously, "But cousin, you are different, everyone dared to disobey me before, only the guards under my cousin were willing to listen to me, these cousins all remembered it, but unfortunately, I can't help myself now, and I can't repay my cousin." ”

Han Dutong hurriedly comforted him and said, "Your Highness, don't be discouraged, when Your Majesty wakes up, the situation will definitely be reversed." ”

"Seriously, when I become a veritable prince, the first thing I have to do is to add an official to my cousin!" Jiang Rong drank several glasses of wine before, his eyes seemed to be drunk, and his words became unscrupulous, and he said sonorously and powerfully, "What kind of meritocracy, isn't Wei Guogong just a virtuous minister?" The result? According to the crown prince, anyone should be nepotistic! ”

There was a wooden screen standing at the back of the main hall, and Mei Xiaoren stood behind the screen, listening to Jiang Rong and Han Dutong talking. Just now she only roughly taught Jiang Ei what to say, but she didn't expect him to comprehend quite quickly.

Although there are not many guards, they are in charge of the palace ban, and they are an extremely important force for Jiang Rong in the imperial city.

It is true that this Han Dutong is Jiang Rong's cousin, but Jiang Rong's biological mother left early, and even the queen was posthumously crowned after His Majesty ascended the throne, so the relatives of the Han clan have not been touched by the light of the first queen, and Jiang Rong has no contact with his maternal grandfather's family, and the friendship between relatives is very indifferent.

If you want to take Han Du for your own use, no matter how much you talk about your feelings, it is empty, and only if you allow him fame, fortune and glory to be the most sincere.
