Chapter 171: Something happened to the five princes

Xuanyuan An, the fifth prince of the border pass, had already signed an armistice contract and was about to leave for Beijing, when he suddenly received an urgent letter from his mother from the palace.

Unfolded the letter and found that it was the concubine who was worried about his safety, so he asked him to find a guard to pretend to be him, and told him to sneak into the caravan and quietly return to Beijing.

His brows furrowed, and it would be a great sin to do so if anyone found out. The mother concubine also specially mentioned how the second and third emperors' trips to Jiangnan were repeatedly assassinated, and asked him to be more careful.

"Fifth Highness, the army is assembled and ready to hit the road at any time." The guards came in to report.

"Aomine, come and see." Aomine is his close attendant.

Qingfeng just took the letter, and before he could see it, another guard ran in outside, "Report to Your Highness, the emperor sent someone to deliver an urgent letter." ”

Qingfeng presented the letter, and after Xuanyuan An read it, his face changed. Wave to the guards and let him go down. As soon as the guards left, Qingfeng hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, but what happened?" ”

Xuanyuan An handed over the emperor's letter to him, Qingfeng read the two letters, and his expression became serious, "Your Highness, Niangniang's concern is very reasonable." Originally, his subordinates thought that they would be fine with the army. But the emperor ordered the army to stand by and only summon His Royal Highness back to Beijing, and things were in trouble. Why should a large army from elsewhere be stationed here? ”

"The Emperor's order, we can't guess." Xuanyuan An sighed lightly, "Maybe the mother concubine was prescient, and she had long expected that the army would not go with us. ”

Qingfeng said, "Your Highness, it's better to let your subordinates look like you, and then Your Highness will take the other half of the guards to walk the path." ”

"Nope." Xuanyuan An said resolutely, "You don't need to say it anymore, I won't leave you alone." Aomine, we are brothers, and we have always been since our ancestors sent you to me. ”

Qingfeng was a little moved, knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Your Highness, focus on the overall situation." ”

Xuanyuan An helped him up, "I am ranked fifth among the princes, and I am destined to have no chance with the throne, I don't ask for anything else in this life, I just want to be safe and worry-free, I can fulfill my filial piety with my mother and concubine, and I can drink and talk with my brothers." If you're still not at ease, why don't you pretend to be me and sit in the carriage, and I'll pretend to be a guard. ”

Seeing that Qingfeng obviously disagreed, he said categorically, "This is the biggest concession made by His Royal Highness, if you don't agree, then I won't even pretend to be a guard." I sit upright, not afraid of being assassinated. ”

Qingfeng had no choice but to find a subordinate who was good at disguise and changed the appearance of the two. When he left the border pass, he sat in Xuanyuan'an's carriage, and Xuanyuan followed behind the carriage on horseback.

Dongfang Duo stood on a high place, watching Xuanyuan An leave, and looked at the army that was not moving in confusion, not knowing what Tianqiong Kingdom wanted to do. If he remembered correctly, when the war began, Tianqiong transferred at least 100,000 horses from other garrisons.

Dongfang Duo stood coldly for a while, and the guard stepped forward and said that he was ready to set off. Dongfang Duo returned to the tent, and Yuwen Tianqing hurriedly greeted him, "Your Highness, are you back?" ”

"Well," Dongduo pinched her chin, "and you still don't tell me, who are you?" If you don't say it, I'll throw you here. ”

Yuwen Tianqing was a little scared, grabbed his sleeve nervously, his eyes were full of pleading, "Your Highness, you must not leave Changle behind, Changle is afraid." ”

Seeing her trembling, Dongfang Duo withdrew his hand and looked at her, "Follow me, you will be nameless, not even a concubine." ”

Yuwen Tianqing's complaining eyes showed a hint of timidity, and he still hugged his waist, "Your Highness, I am willing, as long as Your Highness does not abandon Changle, Changle doesn't care about anything." ”

Dongfang Duo hugged her back, "Pack up and set off with the army." ”

Yuwen Jingsheng, the second prince of the Cang Falcon Kingdom, grimaced and watched the people of the two countries leave. Then he paused violently, and Tianqiong's army did not withdraw as written in the contract. I sent someone to inquire about it, but I only said that I would rest for two days and leave on time after two days.

Yuwen Jingsheng had no choice but to accompany him at the border pass, and it was not until two days later that Tianqiong's army was sure to retreat, and he was in a hurry to return to the palace to recover his life. Although he settled the war this time and compensated a lot of silver taels, he was fortunate not to be dishonored. He hoped to use this incident to let his father see his excellence and make him the crown prince.

Xuanyuan An has been on the road for two days, and it has been very quiet for the past two days, because of the war at the border pass, the people have been hiding and hiding, and they have not even encountered a single figure.

In front of him was a lonely peak, the mountain was steep, and he expected that there would be no one on the mountain, so he followed everyone slowly past the front of the mountain. Seeing that the guards in front of him were about to step out of the coverage of the mountain, a boulder fell from the sky and fell straight towards the carriage.

"Protect Your Highness." The sharp-eyed guards spotted the danger and cried out in panic.

Xuanyuan An also shouted, "Qingfeng, jump down." ”

The guards surrounded the carriage, but when the boulder was in the air, and when it was about to fall down, they scattered in panic and fled. Xuanyuan An shouted, jumped directly from the horse, and flipped two heels in a row to avoid the range of the boulder.

With a loud bang, the boulder that fell from the sky smashed all the carriages into the ground, splashing dust two feet high. Junma screamed and turned directly into meat puree.

"Aomine." Xuanyuan An's eyes were about to split, and he heard another gust of wind above his head, and when he looked up, he saw countless stones falling from the sky.

"Run, get out of here." The guards were panicked, and everyone was in danger.

Xuanyuan An's eyes were crimson, and he glanced at Qingfeng's location, knowing that he must be undoubted. Before he had time to grieve, he was swept to the ground by the air currents falling from the stones. He got up and fled as if he were dead.

When the attack had passed, he collapsed and hid behind a pile of rubble. It was the closest place to the mountain, and it was also a dead end, and the stones pushed down from it could not be hit here.

As far as the eye can see, the mess of rocks is filled with the smell of blood, brains bursting, blood flying, and all kinds of stumps, just looking at it makes people feel like their stomachs are turning upside down.

A group of people who were still alive just now, dead and crippled in the blink of an eye, and the piercing screams came and went, like hell on earth. Especially those who were pressed down by the stone and still had their breath, they screamed for help one after another. Even if such a person is rescued, there is no way to live. can only endure inhuman pain, waiting for death to come.

Xuanyuan An looked at the front vigilantly, and waited for a long time, but no one appeared. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully moved out of the place he had just had. Carry out light work, exert your speed to the extreme, and desperately want to escape from this Shura hell.

"Chase, there's still a living one." No wonder there was no movement for a long time, and the people who were hiding on the mountain to sneak attack had already descended into the bushes at the foot of the mountain.

Xuanyuan An felt that he had never been so embarrassed, wearing the clothes of a guard, and was chased by a group of vicious people. Someone put an arrow in his back, and he stumbled and was hit by an arrow in his back, but he was unwilling to fall.

Run, keep running......

There was a loud laugh from behind, and he was hit by another arrow in the leg, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and he was desperate. These people are so cruel that he will surely die today.

He struggled to sit up, and the men had gathered around.

"Run, why don't you run?" Someone stepped forward and deliberately kicked him in the left leg of the arrow.

He couldn't control his screams, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he glared at these people with angry eyes, "Who the hell are you?" ”

These people were all masked in black scarves, and they could see nothing but their eyes.

Someone laughed, "Naturally, it's the one who wants your life." ”

"I'm just a guard, do you need to kill them all?" His face had been disguised, and he could no longer see what it had been. At this time, even if he told others that he was the fifth prince Xuanyuan An, I am afraid that no one would believe it.

Because Xuanyuan'an's carriage had already been smashed to pieces by the first boulder, he was probably the worst death among everyone. There were no bones left, and they became a pile of flesh.

"You want to live?" Someone asked.

"Nobody wants to ...... Die. "Hit by two arrows, his eyes were dark for a while, and with the incessant bleeding, even if these people let him go, his hope of survival was very slim.

The man stepped forward with a cruel smile, pulled out the long arrow on his back with force, brought out a canopy of blood mist, and threw away the long arrow in disgust, and said cruelly, "Lord Ben is in a good mood, I will let you go today, if you don't die of anger, you can't blame others." ”

What he said later, Xuanyuan An couldn't hear it, and the moment the long arrow was pulled out, he had already fainted. Bright red blood gushed out of his back, and his clothes were quickly stained. Those people watched for a while, and then left cold-blooded and ruthless.

Not long after the men left, a woman passed by. She got off the horse, probed Xuanyuan'an's snort, found that he was still breathing, and bandaged his wound on the spot. Touching the horse's head again, the horse knelt on the ground very spiritually, and she helped Xuanyuan on the horse's back and led him away.

Ten days after Xuanyuan received the news that the five princes had been assassinated on the way back to Beijing, he was silent for a whole day, and the next morning, in front of hundreds of officials, he told the news of the death of the five princes.

The emperor had a calm face, "Brother Huang, you are being alarmist, I haven't received any news, who did you listen to?" ”

"Your Majesty, then you tell the ministers, where have the five princes gone now, and how long will it take to enter Beijing?" Xuanyuan looked at the emperor with cold eyes, and the emperor moved away with a weak heart.

"How would I know? As the prince of a country, wherever he goes, he doesn't even report his whereabouts to me, but he still has my father in his eyes? ”

"The minister wants to ask, if the five princes fail to return within the time limit, how will the emperor deal with it?"

"If you dare to ignore the emperor's order, I will never spare it."

The officials looked at King Burn one after another, and someone asked him, "His Royal Highness King Burn, the five princes are really ......"

"This king received the news that the five princes did not go with the army, but took a single step ahead with hundreds of guards, and when they reached the lonely peak, many boulders suddenly fell from the mountain, and no one survived."

"Is it a natural disaster?" Someone sighed.

"This king is sending someone to investigate, for decades, there has never been a natural fall of stones in Lone Peak, this king thinks that someone must have done it on purpose, wanting to kill the five princes." When he said this, his eyes became even colder, and he looked at Xuanyuan Xiao who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Just look at the refreshing one
