Chapter 319: Willing to Gamble and Lose
"Okay, refreshed!" King Yu waved his hand to his people, "Let's go!" He pointed to me and Meng Shaoqing and a few ministers on the left, "Take them away together!" ”
When King Yu's men heard King Yu's order, they immediately began to act, half of them escorted King Yu in the middle and retreated to the camp gate together, and the other half followed behind us hostages. And the people on the emperor's side just watched, and sure enough, no one stopped them.
Seeing that King Yu and his group were about to leave this camp, the people on the other side all showed anxious looks, but at this time, no one dared to persuade the emperor. Only Hua Feiwen persuaded her, "Your Majesty, you can't let him go!" The concubines know that you cherish those who have humerus. But what kind of person is he, Your Majesty, you know best, even if Your Majesty lets him go, he may not let them go! ”
Listening to Hua Feiwen's words, I was shocked, and I couldn't help but turn around to look at the emperor. The emperor turned a deaf ear to Hua Feiwen's words and looked at us with a complicated expression. When he saw me turn around, his brow furrowed.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and before I could catch her, I was dragged away by King Yu's people, and that thought disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the person in front opened the door curtain, and a cold air poured in from the outside, and I couldn't help but shiver, and the blood suddenly seemed to be solidified by the cold air, and the wound on my shoulder was not so painful.
I looked up, the night was cold, the moon was thick, and I saw a half-moon hanging diagonally on the treetops of a large tree in front of me, and a group of stars shining around the moon. The moonlight is really good today, but unfortunately we can't enjoy this beautiful night.
The men moved so quickly that I just glanced up at the stars and saw that I had been dragged out of the tent. The two guards flew under their feet, carrying me closely behind King Yu.
I was carried by them, and instead of walking on my own, I began to observe the situation around me.
It turned out to be an open and flat open space, and in addition to the camp we had just left, there were many large and small camps, and I don't know if there was no one inside, or if there were people but no lights, in short, the camps were dark.
At that moment, I suddenly smelled a foul smell like burning. I followed the smell and looked ahead and saw a bonfire burning not far ahead, making a "crackling" sound from time to time. There was a huge thing roasting on the campfire, and it was charred and black, and from where the foul smell came from. There were quite a few people standing next to the bonfire, looking at him dressed as the imperial chef and the little eunuch in the palace, and they looked at us in a daze as if they were frightened stupid. Until we passed them, the men remained in their original position.
Leaving the campfire, my eyes were plunged into darkness, and I couldn't see anything clearly. It was easy for my eyes to adjust to the darkness, and I saw rows of neat and tall black shadows appear beneath the clear, deep dark sky.
My heart moved, could it be the Imperial Guards? When I looked closely, I realized that it was just a dense and deep forest. The branches of those trees were blown by the wind and swayed, much like a heroic warrior fighting to kill the enemy.
In front of the woods, in the dark, rows of Imperial Guards with shields and spears stood neatly, as if they had received orders, and quickly dispersed, quickly giving way to a passage three feet wide.
King Yu and the others walked up to this passage and rushed forward. They knew they didn't have much time, and everyone pushed hard to run for their lives as fast as they could. Even so, it still doesn't go fast. How can they go fast if they want to carry us burdens? Maybe King Yu also discovered this problem and said to the guards around him: "Throw those people away." Only the woman and Meng Xiang remained. ”
I cried out in my heart, why did you leave us behind? Why not throw us away too! Throw me away and you'll go faster. But I am being dragged by them at the moment, and the wound will be pulled by them from time to time, and every time I pull it, it hurts, and I want to die or live, and I have no strength to cry out for a long time.
After the guards in the back threw away all the ministers, they really walked much faster than just now. But after walking for a while, there were still groups of heavily armed Royal Guards on both sides.
A quarter of an hour may seem too fast for King Yu, but for me, it is so long. Whether it's fast or slow, it's going to pass.
Just as the soldiers of the Imperial Guards on either side had just disappeared from my sight, I heard a loud sound of gongs and drums in the distance. I know that a quarter of an hour has finally arrived.
As soon as the sound of gongs and drums stopped, I heard a shout of killing that resounded through the sky behind me.
It's the Royal Foresters behind you! They were not more than half a mile away from us. It seems that King Yu is in a catastrophe this time.
And King Yu didn't seem to want to admit defeat so easily, they didn't stop running away, and still ran desperately towards the dark front. The shouts of killing behind him were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they were about to catch up with us. My heart rejoices, am I going to be saved?
At this time, King Yu seemed to know that he couldn't escape, and ordered everyone to stop. The guards who were holding me finally put me on the ground, and when they put me down, they pulled at my wound again, and I said, "Oops! I couldn't help but moan.
Meng Shaoqing heard my moaning and asked with concern, "Does it matter if you want it?" ”
"I can't die for a while." As soon as I finished speaking, the Royal Guards behind me had already caught up and stopped at a distance of a kilometer from us, but they were only fenced up, and did not come up to get people. King Yu's guards protected him in the middle and confronted the Imperial Forest Army.
King Yu did not flee again, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army did not take another step. It seems that they are all waiting for something!
At this moment, a fire lit up in the distance, and if you look closely, it is a group of people holding torches coming this way. The firelight was getting closer and closer, and I finally saw clearly that the person under the firelight was actually the emperor, and he actually chased after him personally.
King Yu stood in place and quietly watched the firelight in the distance getting closer and closer, but he really didn't do anything. I couldn't believe that he had failed the game and decided to keep his word. But the way he looks now makes people have to believe it.
When the emperor, under the protection of Ye Feng and others, came to us, King Yu spoke first, "Brother Huang, why is it only here now, I have been waiting for a long time?" ”
The emperor was not as relaxed as King Yu, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to lose the bet, if you lose, let him go!" ”
King Yu looked at the Imperial Forest Army that surrounded him, and said, "Yes, I am willing to lose the bet, since I lost, of course I will let him go." He said to the guard who was holding Meng Shaoqing: "Let him go." The guard pushed Meng Shaoqing forward, Meng Shaoqing was pushed and staggered a few steps, but was helped by one of the emperor's guards and loosened the tie for him.
Seeing that he was saved, I was very relieved, he didn't have to die, didn't I have to die either? I don't have to die, great! I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect it to be clear.
