The fine snow was blown into the corridor by the wind, and there were scattered blood-stained bamboo leaves.

Meng Yong, who was dressed in a heavy black robe, looked cold, stared at the two people who slowly walked out of the house, and said in a cold voice: "Let go of people, I can save your life." ”

Gu Zhan was silent, still holding the knife against Zhao Chen's throat.

"This place has been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and you can't escape even if you hold Prince Wu hostage..."Meng Yong kept talking, but the hand in his sleeve gestured to Su Yan in secret.

"Be honest!" Gu Zhan suddenly lowered his head and shouted, and raised his voice again: "If you don't want Prince Wu to die, get out of the way!" ”

Zhao Chen, who was restrained, still struggled, and his neck suddenly spread blood red, dripping between the white fur and red clothes, looking more and more dazzling.

Meng Yong's palm fingers tightened suddenly, until the bone joints turned white, and then he asked in a steady voice: "How can I release people?" ”

"Prepare two fast horses, don't send anyone to follow, I will let people go if I flee to safety." Gu Zhan said mutually.

At this time, Zhao Hanqing walked from afar, his court clothes were soaked with blood splashing, and he quickly stepped over the corpses along the way, his eyes red with murderous intent.

Seeing that Gu Zhan had the momentum to move his knife again, Meng Yong hurriedly stopped him: "Prepare a horse for him, it is important to save Prince Wu." ”

"Come on, prepare the horses!" Zhao Hanqing pressed out a sentence from his throat in a deep voice, and said: "Gu Zhan, you'd better keep the contract, otherwise I won't let you go even if it's the end of the earth!" ”

Gu Zhan ignored it, walked out of the corridor with the person in his arms, looked at the courtyard and stopped, and said in a clear way: "I don't ask much, let Lao Feng come over, I want to take him with me!" ”

Old Feng, who was covered in blood, looked at him in amazement, and in less than a moment, he was puzzled and replaced by the surprise of being able to escape, and rushed over without waiting for the rest of his companions to react.

After the rest of the people came to their senses, they were about to follow and rush this way.

There are only a few of them left who have been killed, and if they don't seize the opportunity, they will all die here today!

"I'll only take Lao Feng one." Gu Zhan said to Zhao Hanqing expressionlessly.

Only then did the latter let go of his eyebrows, waved his hand and ordered, and the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded Chai Fatzi and others, and rushed forward with knives.

"Gu Zhan! Do you want to die to your comrades?! The fat man swung his knife and slashed the officers and soldiers in front of him, and angrily reprimanded.

"It's a nice place to live, and it's a good thing for you to die here." Gu Zhan forcibly wiped away the unbearable under his eyes, and after coldly speaking, he motioned for Lao Feng to follow.

After carefully inspecting the horses, Gu Zhan's hands were not loosened, only a little under his feet, and the person clamped Zhao Chen and jumped onto the horse.

He turned around to take one last look and couldn't help but sigh.

In the next moment, he retracted his gaze and clamped his legs hard, and the horse's body suddenly galloped away like an arrow from a string.

Meng Yong watched them disappear coldly, and quickly said to Zhao Hanqing: "The signal is given to the subordinates, and the army is twenty miles away, and the markers left in the lower part of the road are pursued, and they are ordered to act when they see the order!" ”

"You'd better go home and wait for news!" Zhao Hanqing looked at his weak look, and his voice was slightly deep: "Anyway, I have transferred my father's subordinates, and I will take them to chase after him!" ”

His father, Prince Zhuang, was not only born in the royal family, but also served as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and was in charge of the five military governors on behalf of the Chu Emperor.

He is a veritable person of high power.

It is precisely because of this that he dared to cut the officers and soldiers of the private transfer after learning that Zhao Chen was in danger.

"Gu Zhan is not only brave in battle, but also good at hiding and escaping, and those officers and soldiers can't catch up with him." Meng Yong forcibly explained with concern: "The guards below can secretly catch up with them, you just need to order someone to follow them from a distance." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Hanqing to think about how he knew this, he said coldly at a very fast speed: "Without further ado, if you drag people any longer, you will really escape from control!" ”

Half an hour later, two fast horses galloped out of the city gate, on which were Meng Yong and Su Yan.

At this time, Zhao Chen and his party had already left the outskirts of the city and continued to flee south.

On the bumpy horse, Zhao Chen's ears trembled non-stop, and his mouth was not idle, and he whispered to Gu Zhan from time to time to point out the way.

"They are not guilty of death, and there is no threat, so why will they not spare their lives?" Gu Zhan suddenly asked in a dumb voice.

Zhao Chen's eyes curved, and he asked lukewarmly: "Then why didn't you listen to me just now and didn't save them?" ”

Seeing that he was asked, she smiled even more happily: "They plotted to rebel under the banner of grievances for my father... and assassinated me after I was lame, just to plant the crime on Your Majesty, so that the army would chill it..."

The reason why Zhu Chongyuan went to the barracks back then was because these people held her hostage and failed to raise an army, and they had murderous intentions against her.

Her voice was not high and slightly cold, as if she was saying to Gu Zhan, and as if she was persuading herself to accept the current situation.

"Uncle Gu, you still have the life to ask this here at this time, because you have been kept in the dark-" She turned her head with a smile: "Otherwise, you are afraid that you will have to accompany them to Huangquan." ”

Among these 20 or so people, except for a few scheming people, such as Chai Fatzi, who took the lead in plotting a rebellion, and Wu Guanghai, who joined Taipingwei...

The rest are just reckless men with their own minds.

And Gu Zhan is the only one of them, a real fool who has no thoughts and calculations of his own at all.

He is also really loyal and radical, and because of the death of the old warrior king, he has suspicion and resentment against the court, and the rest of the people are also happy to be like him, these secret things are hidden from him and never let him know.

Zhao Chen's unabashed words before completely made the fool come back to his senses, and under hatred, anger and pain, he acquiesced in Zhao Chen's decision not to save him.

"You are now in my hands, and I will spare you if you want to spare your life." Gu Zhan said expressionlessly.

Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing: "It's been so many years, why are you still rusting your brain?" If I dare to put a knife on my neck and let you hold me hostage and flee for my life, do you think I will have no support? ”

Gu Zhan couldn't figure it out, and he simply didn't want to: "Then why did you save me?" ”

"Uncle is still talking to you when he is drunk, scolding you for being confused, and regretting that you are where you are now-" Her eyes were shining, and her smile was as pure as a child: "Saving you out of the cage can be regarded as untying a knot in his heart." ”

Gu Zhan's eyes couldn't help but be hot, the steel-like heart of the man on the battlefield was sour and sour, and he said tightly in his throat: "It's all my bastard, I refuse to listen to his persuasion, when he came to the door, I, I also scolded him for having no conscience..."

Zhao Chen looked at the rapidly retreating chaotic mountain snow on his side, and his eyes were soft.

Her previous kneeling was not only to disturb the rest of the people's feelings about her, but also to thank this person for saving Zhu Chongyuan's life in front of the battle, so that she could have an uncle who protected her like a father.

"Almost, it's time for us to abandon the horse." She put away her thoughts and whispered, "You've got the female king butterfly powder right away, that person... I'm afraid I'm about to chase after you—"

Gu Zhan was shocked in his heart, and he didn't doubt whether this was true or false, so he hurriedly shouted to Lao Feng, who had been stuck behind: "Abandon the horse after crossing the Sanshan Gorge in front, don't leave a trace!" ”

At the same time, it was less than twenty miles away from them.

Meng Yong retracted Wang Die, waved his whip, and in the splash of snow, his eyebrows were as sharp as knives, and he shouted: "Found it!" ”
