Chapter 952: Before Dawn
The two talked happily, as for the conversation, Li Xiaoyu couldn't hear clearly, she only heard someone talking without listening, and the words as light as fluttering flew in her ears, but they couldn't interfere with her dreams.
In the middle of the night, Leng Aohan explained a few more words and left, while Li Xiaoyu continued to stay in Shangshu Mansion, that is, Beigong Yu's mansion.
Ten miles away from the capital, many soldiers who retreated here were also sleeping in a daze, Leng Aohan flew to a tent, and seeing that there was no movement around, he took out the fire fold in his hand and lit a few dead grass on the ground.
The light of the fire was not faint enough to illuminate the tents. Someone woke up from falling asleep, and when he saw the light outside, he was terrified and shouted, "It's on fire!" It's on fire! Hurry up! ”
The others who heard the movement also woke up, but rubbed their eyes and found that there was no fire at all, just a few dead grasses burning. Who is the man standing next to him? Several soldiers hurriedly picked up their swords and came over to surround Leng Aohan.
"Who are you? What do you do to break into our camp? A soldier asked, trembling.
"What about the Five Princes?"
"The Fifth Prince? What's the matter with you? ”
"Huh?"
was glanced at by Leng Aohan, and the soldier only felt that his soul was about to be scared away. Why is this man's aura so powerful? He's going to lose his footing.
The fifth prince, who had just squinted and was asleep, was also awakened by the noise outside the tent, he grabbed the sword in his hand, and listened carefully to the movement outside.
Mei'er was scared, but she hid to the side. The fifth prince gave her a look, and she felt a lot more at ease. As long as the five princes are there, she will not be harmed.
"Who's out there, and what are you doing here?"
"Old Five."
"Cousin?"
This familiar voice with a hint of indifference was gone, and the fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief, patted Mei'er's hand again, signaled her not to worry about herself, and went out with a coat.
The fire was blinding, and he came out with his arm in the way, and only lowered his hand when he slowly adjusted to the light outside.
He waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first, and I'll leave it to me here." ”
Many soldiers got the order and hurriedly retreated, it's best to be fine, you can go back to sleep! The summer night is breezy and the sleep is beautiful.
The fire was extinguished, and the place was shrouded in a silver moonlight. In the distance, the low jade plate is particularly clear, the stars glitter in the sky, and crickets can occasionally be heard singing in the quiet grass.
The fifth prince inadvertently looked at Leng Aohan, with delicate facial features, elegant black hair, and a cold aura all over his body, this is his cousin Leng Aohan. However, he looked a little pale and a little haggard.
"I wonder what my cousin came to me late at night?" The fifth prince asked.
Leng Aohan was silent, just pointed to the pine sand road at the bottom of the mountain, and he flew down a few times.
The fifth prince understood what he meant, and he also flew down "with a sigh", presumably his cousin had something very important to say to him, otherwise he would not be so cautious.
The pine trees are tall and tall, densely lined up on this slightly flat land. Leng Aohan stood under a pine tree, and the moonlight sprinkled on him, as if he had been plated with a layer of white light.
The fifth prince saluted and asked, "There is no one here, cousin, please speak." ”
Leng Aohan: "You also know the things in the capital, right?" I'm here tonight because I want you to bring your troops into the city tomorrow. ”
The face of the fifth prince changed, except for talking about soldiers, otherwise everything is easy to say. "Forgive my cousin for not complying, we are not the opponent of Uncle Huang at all!"
The imperial uncle in the mouths of the two is the king of Anyang, that is, the one who occupies the capital and proclaims himself king. This person didn't know where to transfer so many soldiers, and he was able to buy off the generals in the city privately.
Fortunately, the five princes did not rush to war with him that day, otherwise they might have taken their brothers to death!
"As soon as the king of Anyang dies tomorrow, you will lead the troops forward, and in the end, won't the credit be all yours?" Leng Aohan said again.
"Isn't that taking advantage of others? Besides, why would my cousin help me? ”
"Great Yuan Kingdom, you are the orthodox bloodline. And the king of Anyang is just an outsider, if he is allowed to occupy the Great Yuan Kingdom, it will be a poor life for the people! ”
"But cousin, I can't take them to death. The current situation is not good, and I am afraid that the teacher will be unfavorable. ”
Of course, the fifth prince was worried, what if he really pulled King Anyang down? What if people don't admit themselves?
"You don't have to worry about this, you forgot, speaking of soldiers, my father also has it. If you go to the rescue tomorrow, all the people in the world will think that it is your credit. ”
"This! Will your father really help me? I slipped out from under his nose, and he must have thought I was a thief. The fifth prince said worriedly.
"Do you think my father will not know about your return to Beijing? It's just that he acquiesced to all this. Don't worry, he's on his way back with his troops, and you just need to bring them over tomorrow. Leng Aohan said again.
However, the fifth prince still felt that it was inappropriate. How could my cousin be so kind to help him? Although he had lived in his cousin's mansion for a while, and his cousin was very good to him, he still didn't want to trust anyone.
"Success or failure is here, I will protect you from the situation."
"Cousin, if my father knows that I am back, he will hate me. He didn't like me when he was a child, and he wanted me to get away. No matter what I do, he doesn't really appreciate me. The fifth prince said again.
"Fifth child, do you know that the third child is dead? The king of Anyang insisted on accepting him as his son, but he committed suicide if he did not want to. ”
"What! Third brother! ”
The fifth prince couldn't accept this fact, he leaned on the pine tree on the side, his eyes were blank, and his mind was full of this third brother who was not shocked and ignored the world.
The people in the palace treated him coldly, and only the third brother would often give him some steamed buns to eat. If it weren't for the third brother secretly helping him, I'm afraid he would have been in a different place long ago.
"Actually, your nature is not bad, do you think that we can still stand by and watch the third child die?"
"Cousin, don't worry, I'll listen to your orders tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Old Five! In the future, the Great Yuan Kingdom will depend on you! ”
Leng Aohan hooked his lips and smiled, this evil smile made people look very real. It is rare for the fifth prince to see him smile, and it is estimated that today is also the first time. And what does he mean by that?
He clenched the fist in his hand, and that's it, the third brother and his cousin are kind to him, and he still helps him, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.
It's just that some of his soldiers are the people of the king of the Hu clan, what if his cousin knows about it? Will he think that he is colluding with the king of the Hu clan?
Leng Aohan looked at him with a pair of cold eyes, and said: "The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge, and the fifth only needs to look forward." ”
The fifth prince nodded solemnly, cousin, is this comforting himself? Also, he can't guess what will happen in the future, so why worry about tomorrow?
The sky was about to dawn, and Leng Aohan disappeared into the night with a few flying bodies. He is going back quickly, Li Xiaoyu is still in Shangshu Mansion! If she wakes up and finds that she is not there, she will probably go crazy!
There seemed to be something strange in the grass, and the five princes were pretending to be indifferent and walking back. Just when the people in the grass thought that the five princes were gone, they turned around and found that the five princes were standing behind them looking at them.
"Your son!"
"Tell me, what do you want?" The fifth prince said coldly.
Mei'er didn't expect to be discovered, she pointed to the moon in the sky, but was grabbed by the fifth prince again.
"You're not going to tell me you're here to admire the moon, are you?"
"No, no, you listen to me, my lord, I'm just passing by!"
"Passing by? Where are you going? Are you going to report to the king of the Hu clan? The fifth prince asked again.
Mei'er's hands trembled with fright, she looked at the fifth prince with a panicked expression, and thought of thousands of words in her mind, but she couldn't say anything when she met his cold eyes. She was afraid that as long as she said the wrong thing, the fifth prince would not be able to keep herself.
The fifth prince stood up, his temperament was dusty, but he still had a trace of style, and the handsome prince was nothing more than that in front of him.
"If you want to leave, you have to wait until tomorrow." He sighed.
"No, Mei'er won't go!"
"Are you afraid that the king of the Hu clan will kill you? Rather than let him kill you, you might as well stay with me. You can't hear my conversation with my cousin tonight, and you will still be my beautiful charm from now on. ”
"Mei'er won't go!" Mei'er grabbed his hand tightly, rather than go back and let the king of the Hu clan scold her, it was better to stay by the side of the fifth prince.
If the fifth prince really won the throne, wouldn't she be the queen of the world? The scenery is infinite, and the glory of the ancestors, she is excited when she thinks about it.
So, she can't leave the Five Princes! I saw her raise three fingers, and swore to the sky: "Mei'er swears that she will never betray your noble son to the king of the Hu clan, otherwise the sky will thunder!" ”
The fifth prince took out a small porcelain bottle, took away the cork wrapped in red cloth, and said with a smile: "Since Mei'er is so heartfelt to me, then you can take this casually?" ”
Mei'er gritted her teeth, she believed that the fifth prince would not be willing to die by herself. I saw that she snatched it back and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.
"Your son, Mei'er is not afraid!"
"It's really my good girl, I'm afraid of Mei'er, I'm afraid of such an earth-shattering event, so I can't make any mistakes, do you understand?"
"Mei'er understands, don't worry, you will succeed!"
She smiled shallowly, what she had just swallowed should not be some kind of poison. She also has to fight to the death, and the glory and wealth in the future are waiting for her. She can't die, she must live.
The fifth prince took her hand and walked through the pine forest, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, but both of them were a little uneasy in their hearts.
