Chapter 122: A Night's Shock (7)
Now that the young man has made up his mind, he will not hesitate any longer, in his world, the life of the prince is above all else, whether it is to repay his kindness, or to be able to let future generations see the beautiful world that the prince once described to him, he is willing to give everything, even his life.
"Quick, over there!
"Chase! over there, quick, quick, quick!"
"Fence it out!"
Almost as soon as he emerged, his traces had already been discovered by the cavalry guards who were searching on the other side and had extremely keen senses, and then immediately shouted and commanded, and launched an encirclement and suppression.
The hour has come to night, a hazy night, coming from the east, like a curtain, slowly covering most of the palace, but because the lanterns were not lit in advance, the light here is not bright for the time being, so after seeing the figures, there is no time to distinguish the situation, these horsemen naturally rushed up, quickly chased away.
After all, even in this huge palace, three thousand cavalry guards are enough to patrol back and forth, and this big net will never allow any fish to swim over.
Ma Erhu here is still looking at Ma Mingze's back in a daze, the two are fellow villagers after all, although Ma Mingze is an orphan adopted by the village chief, but how to say, they can be regarded as growing up together, especially when the two fellow villagers are dependent on each other, the relationship is even better than when they were in the village.
According to his temperament, of course, he would not have thought of doing this, because he didn't have the courage at all, but just like when he was attacked in Huangsha County, Ma Mingze has now put him on fire with his actual actions, and he has to take responsibility.
Morobeti, who had not spoken beside him, also looked anxious, he had been with these two brothers for many days, quite a relationship, and he was in a different place, the relationship between his companions was naturally closer, he also knew how dangerous it was for Ma Mingze to run out alone at this time to lead away the enemy, so he hurriedly asked Gu Xuan: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you haven't done those things, why can't you just tell them clearly?"
After Gu Xuan rested against the wall for a while, he had already accumulated some strength, and at this moment, he slowly stood up against the wall, his face was pale, and he explained helplessly: " Morobetti, you don't understand, this is a struggle between life and death, the enemy will never give me a chance to explain, I can't let the initiative in the hands of others, so the only thing we have to do at the moment is to get out of here quickly, find Shang Shuling to explain the situation, mobilize the guards stationed there, and after ensuring safety, we can find out the truth again, and at that time, we can save him!"
At the same time as Gu Xuan opened his mouth to explain, a burst of broken footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, obviously someone was approaching, Gu Xuan didn't take a closer look at it at all, but subconsciously stretched out his hand, grabbed it back, and slashed directly at the throat of the visitor, just because he was poisoned, this reaction was still a beat slower in the end, the person who came heard the strong wind howling, quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed Gu Xuan's fingers, and then shouted softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's us!"
Gu Xuan turned around, tried to look towards the opposite side with his eyes that were still a little trance-like, and after a long while, he successfully focused, and then said with some surprise: "It turned out to be you." ”
It turned out that it was none other than the two horsemen who had led the way for the four of them before, and they were also shocked by this incident, so they continued to patrol this side together, but they didn't expect that after Ma Mingze deceived that group of people, the two of them just bumped into Gu Xuan's group.
Gu Xuan withdrew his hand, leaned against the wall, and couldn't help laughing miserably: "Say, who are you waiting for, even if it is death, let this king die clearly." ”
He quickly analyzed the situation in front of him, these three thousand cavalry guards are the absolute elite selected by thousands of troops, not only have all the excellent qualities of soldiers, but also their martial arts are definitely the best choice, whether it is a large-scale battlefield fight, or a small-scale fight, it is a good hand.
If it were put on weekdays, he would naturally not be afraid, but now that he has been injured and poisoned, his strength is no longer than the ordinary thirty percent, relying on Mo Luo Beti and Ma Erhu alone, although they are also trained and can do some rough tricks, but where are they the opponents of these two people.
If he forcibly resisted now, he was afraid that it would be difficult to curry favor, but it would make the situation have no room for maneuver, so he deliberately stopped, and then said so, gambling that the other party was not arranged by someone to kill him, so as to quickly gain the trust of these two people.
Sure enough, when one of them heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you have misunderstood, the two of us are not instructed by others, but just heard the news coming out, said, said, said that it was you, that 。。。。。。 ”
Gu Xuan said directly: "It was said that this king murdered His Majesty and Niangniang, right?"
The man could only nod and admit: "Yes, but this matter, both of us actually feel a little strange in our hearts, but it is difficult to disobey the fate, so I was still driven here to search for your traces, but I didn't expect to be really met by the two of us." ”
Gu Xuan didn't give him time to think at all, and immediately asked, "Now that those two have seen me, what do you think in your heart? Do you believe the crime that was planted on me? Do you believe that I committed that great rebellion?"
The two just looked at each other silently, but they didn't speak, after all, this matter is too big, they are just guards in the palace, how dare they stand in line easily at such a time, isn't that looking for death?
Gu Xuan coughed lightly, spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and then said: "I know that the two of you also have doubts in your hearts, but I am indeed framed by someone, and now the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely want to kill me, I don't ask for anything else, I only ask the two to escort me out of the palace, and when I stabilize the situation, there will be a triage by the three law divisions, and I will be innocent!"
In a word, seeing that the situation could not be delayed any longer, but the two of them were still hesitating, Gu Xuan then said in a very sad tone: "Two, I have won the favor of my father and the emperor, and I have been awarded the position of the prince, why bother to do this again, entering the palace today, it is also a summons from the palace, how can I make arrangements in advance, commit such a thing, take a step back and say, if I really have such a scheming, how can I be easily exposed and end up like this?"
"Both of them are loyal to the monarch, patriotic and abide by military rules, and now there is a mastermind behind the scenes who wants to murder my majesty and the prince of Da Liang, do you want to delay time here, do things for this murderer, and take me back as an innocent person?"
These two people also knew that the situation was urgent, no matter what, they had to make a decision quickly, so they gritted their teeth fiercely at the moment, immediately raised their heads, and said: "What Your Highness said is that the two of us also believe that Your Highness is innocent, please follow the two of us out of the palace quickly!"
Gu Xuan nodded lightly, glanced back at the direction Ma Mingze had left just now, and bit his lip, his heart was sad and indescribable.
That unknown enemy has already touched his scales, whether it is the death of his father, or Ma Mingze's attempt to lure away the Xiao Cavalry Guards in order to protect himself just now, it has made him make up his mind that he must uproot the forces behind the scenes afterwards, no matter how deep and wide the involvement is!
A group of five people quickly fled.
These two people know a general patrol map of the Xiao cavalry guard, although the imperial court in order to prevent there are ghosts lurking in it and betraying intelligence, so the enemy can bypass the defense and sneak in, so the order of the route of the Miyagi patrol, as well as the scope of responsibility of each team, changes almost every day, but there are still some rules to ask, and now in order to search, there is actually some chaos, plus even if they don't touch people, they can also negotiate and lead people away.
With the help of these two people, they soon came to the gate of the urn city smoothly, and when they went out again, they officially left the palace.
"Your Highness, there are two fast horses ahead!
Although there was no one around, the two of them had to go back to recover their lives after that, and they made up lies to continue to delay time for Gu Xuan, so they could only be sent here for the time being, Gu Xuan was about to open his mouth to thank him, but before he could think about it, a shout suddenly sounded behind him.
"Where do the murderers go!"
Turning his head, he saw a group of twelve men who had drawn their sabers from their waists and galloped towards this side.
"Your Highness, go quickly!
The two didn't think much about it, as soldiers, as soldiers, the most taboo thing was their mother-in-law, they hesitated, since they chose to believe Gu Xuan, they naturally pulled out their knives without hesitation at this moment, and turned back to stop their original colleagues.
Gu Xuan didn't stop, because he knew that this was definitely not the time to be rash, he, Ma Erhu, and Morobeti hurriedly walked towards the place pointed out by the other party, and sure enough, they saw two horses.
Untie the rope, turn over and get on the horse, you can hear the sound of weapons clashing in the rear, but there is no sound of scolding and explanation in the middle, and the people on both sides are fighting for their lives, without any fancy.
Although two against twelve is an absolute disadvantage, they finally bought time for Gu Xuan to escape, and after a while, the two of them were beheaded to death by random knives, and they died strangely, but Gu Xuan and the other three had already escaped from the urn city by horses and disappeared into the night that had already filled the sky.
"Hurry up and report it, the murderer has already left the Xuanwu Gate, hurry up and mobilize the city guards to search along the street!"
"Yes!"
The group immediately dispersed and returned the news.
The night covers the stars, the country will be restless, tonight, how many people are destined to be sleepless.
