Chapter 129: Ambush and Cliff Jumping
Because he wanted to unite with Yunde, Nangong Han thought about it and decided to leave early. Nangong Han knew that Nangong Cheng was suspicious, and if he brought more people, it would be more troublesome.
Nangong Han's eyes looked at the book in his hand, but his mind was to run to the frontier early. If he had arrived at the frontier earlier, he would have seen the clouds earlier.
"Master," Qingyao slammed the door, "everyone has already arrived." ”
"Well," Nangong Han stood up, and because he couldn't make a big fuss, Nangong Han only asked Qingyao to notify a few masters to accompany him. I just don't know if this road to the frontier will be smooth.
At this time in the palace, Nangong Cheng was playing with that beauty. I saw that his head was wrapped in red veil, and his clothes did not cover his body.
The beauty stepped on the soft collapse of the hall with her bare feet, and when Nangong Cheng got closer, she kicked it away.
Although it is indecent, Nangong Cheng is happy to do it.
"Your Majesty," the beauty glanced at the eunuch who hurried to the door, and couldn't help frowning: "Every time I pick someone to come over when they have fun, it's really a disappointment." ”
When Nangong Cheng heard this, he smiled on his face. Reaching out and taking the woman into his arms, one turned, and the two of them would lie on their sides on the soft collapse.
The beauty was lying on Nangong Cheng's chest, and her face was full of the delicate posture of a little woman.
The eunuch glanced at it, but buried his head deeply.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Cheng's movements in his hands did not stop, but his eyes were looking at the eunuch at the door.
"Back to the emperor, now Prince Han has gathered some forces," the eunuch moved the dust in his hand and continued to speak: "General Yunde established himself as the king in the frontier, if Prince Han goes to the frontier this time and joins forces with Yunde, I am afraid that this country will be surrendered." ”
"What did you say?" Nangong Cheng pushed the woman in his arms away and stood up, but because the movement of standing up was too strong, he couldn't stand up for a while.
The woman who was pushed away rolled down from the soft collapse, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she slowly got up, saluted and withdrew.
"Now Nangong Han must be thinking of a way to set off for the frontier. If the emperor lays an ambush on his way, ......" The eunuch raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Cheng, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Isn't it eternal trouble?" ”
Nangong Cheng raised his eyebrows, as long as Nangong Han did not die for a day, his country would be unstable for a day. If he could take this opportunity to kill Nangong Han, it would remove the big trouble in his heart.
"I have ordered you to set up ambushes on the official roads outside the gates with the Praetorian Guards. It is necessary to let Nangong Han have the life to go out and come back. ”
"Yes."
Nangong Cheng looked at the disappearing figure of the eunuch, and a wicked smile appeared on his face. Nangong Han, after letting you live for so long, it's time to go underground to accompany your father, right?
Qing Yao put the night clothes on the table, and saw that Nangong Han was still reading at the desk, so he didn't make a sound. Because he was afraid that Nangong Cheng would be suspicious, the master decided to set off at night. It is that the more idleness there is now, the more it can dispel someone's doubts.
That night, Nangong Han and the others sneaked out of the palace gate after cleaning up. It's just that tonight seems to be calm and a little abnormal.
Because there were horses arranged by Qingyao in a village not far away, everyone went directly to this village when they left the palace gate.
As he was walking, Nangong Han suddenly heard the leaves moving, and then a group of people dressed in palace guard uniforms fell with the sound, all holding swords and tightly surrounding Nangong Han and the others.
"Seventeenth prince, it's so late, dressed like this, where are you going?" The leader saluted Nangong Han, but his tone was very unpolite
"Heh," Nangong Han chuckled, "Nangong Cheng has sent you to wait here, aren't you knowingly asking?" ”
"In that case, then don't blame us for being rude." The Praetorian Guard Zhang led by everyone made a look, and everyone rushed to Nangong Han and the others in the middle.
Because he was afraid of Nangong Cheng's suspicion, Nangong Han took Qingyao with a few masters, and when he saw the Praetorian Guards rushing towards him, Nangong Han drew his sword and was the first to face the Praetorian Guards.
Everyone was suddenly stunned. However, the Praetorian Guards were overwhelming, and even if Nangong Han and others were strong in martial arts, they could not stand the wheel war. I had to retreat in the other direction while fighting.
Qing Yao sighed, jumped on the head of a Praetorian Guard, sank hard, and picked up the sword in his hand with his backhand, and a finger was crossed off by the Praetorian Guard under his feet.
The leader of the Praetorian Guard, seeing that he would not be able to benefit from a hard encounter, put his hand to his mouth and whistled.
As soon as the whistle fell, thirty or forty archers appeared out of nowhere.
"The emperor has an order, the seventeenth prince intends to rebel, and he will be captured alive today."
"Yes."
The archer straightened his posture and waited for an order to give him an order, and he fired several arrows in unison.
"Put-"
Dozens of arrows pierced the night and shot straight at Nangong Han and the others, and some of the swords-wielding Praetorian Guards died under the random arrows before they could dodge.
Nangong Han and the others had to wield swords to resist bows and arrows, and they also had to deal with the Praetorian Guards a year ago, and they couldn't cope with it for a while.
The group fought and retreated, and actually retreated to the edge of the cliff.
"Stop," the leader of the Praetorian Guard shouted, turned sideways, looked at the dark cliff behind Nangong Han and them, and said, "Seventeenth Prince, I advise you to hurry up and arrest it." If you return to the palace with us, maybe the emperor will spare your life with brotherhood, but if you are stubborn and continue to resist, there is really only one way to die. ”
"Nangong Cheng set up this ambush, and he must have never thought of letting me stay this life from the beginning." Nangong Han turned his head to look at Qing Yao and several other masters who were in an embarrassment, and regretted it for a while. But he still continued to speak: "Since I came out by myself, I have no intention of going back with you." ”
"Okay," the leader of the Praetorian Guard shook his head, "People always say that the Seventeenth Prince is a smart man, but I didn't expect to be so stupid." Keep shooting me arrows! ”
The bow and arrow came with the sound of the wind, and seeing that an arrow was about to pierce Nangong Han, Qing Yao jumped up, pounced, and took the arrow with himself.
Without waiting for Nangong Han to put Qing Yao aside, an increasingly ferocious attack struck, and the remaining masters were obviously unable to parry.
Seeing that his people were hit by arrows one by one, and they were still desperately trying to protect themselves, Nangong Han felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Doesn't Nangong Cheng just want my life?" Nangong Han shouted, and sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, the bow and arrow stopped.
The leader of the Praetorian Guard walked to the front of the archer team and looked at Nangong Han who was standing not far away. Next to Nangong Han was the master and Qingyao who were injured and fell to the ground.
"So, did the prince figure it out?"
"Hmph," Nangong Han put down the sword in his hand, "I can't figure it out or I can't figure it out, it's just the difference between dying here and dying in the imperial capital." ”
The leader of the Praetorian Guard narrowed his eyes, as if waiting for Nangong Han to continue.
But before he could react, Nangong Han jumped up and jumped off the cliff.
