10. Hanging knife falls

Prince Changping actually didn't encounter any hardships.

The crown prince had an accident to Prince Changping, that is, he couldn't see his father, and it was nothing if he couldn't see him, he was still the eldest grandson, and the first emperor named him the prince before his death, and the little uncle and the sixth prince became the emperor, holding him in the palm of his hand and cherishing him even more.

And he still lives in the East Palace.

It's not that he doesn't think that the days will always be like this, but he doesn't think that he doesn't have to think about the future for the time being, and he didn't expect that there will be no future all of a sudden.

Compared to when he was five years old, the eleven-year-old Prince Changping already knew what death was, and the little boy looked at the spring world, looked at the tall golden man beside him, and then looked at the black and oppressive attendants scattered around, tears slid down his face.

"I, my mother, if I knew....." he tried to warn, or threaten.

Huo Lian smiled and glanced at the mountain: "Your Highness thinks I brought you to hunt, doesn't the princess know?"

Prince Changping's hand holding the reins trembled.

"Does Your Highness think that my escort means safety?" Huo Lian said, shaking his head with a smile, "Who am I, Huo Lian? Your Highness may not have heard of it in the palace, Yin Soldier, Yin Si, Soul Hook Yama King, seeing me means that this is ominous, it means death."

Yes, he is in the palace, often by the emperor's side, he can clearly understand the emperor's importance to Huo Lian, and easily does not let Huo Lian leave his side, this time Huo Lian personally escorted him, he really thought that it meant that the little uncle cared about him.

Little Uncle –

Prince Changping's tears flowed even more fiercely.

"It's little uncle....." he spoke again.

Huo Lian shook her head and interrupted him, "You want to address Your Majesty."

It was no longer the idler-like prince who was raised by his father, nor was it the little uncle who carried him to pick fruits and dig birds' nests, and squatted on the ground to watch the ants together.

Prince Changping didn't dare to say a word while holding the reins, and he didn't know what to say, just kept crying.

There are sharp birdsong in the depths of the mountains, and countless birds and finches fly out of the jungle, circling in the air.

Huo Lian raised his eyes and looked at it, and then stretched out his hand to Prince Changping to ask: "Your Highness, you can start, go quickly."

Not to mention a child, adults can't stand this, Prince Changping trembled, he didn't want to say what to beg for mercy, and he knew that begging for mercy was useless, so he only shook his head.

But shaking his head can't stop Huo Lian from doing something.

"Then I'll do it." Huo Lian said, shaking the whip in his hand with these words.

The pony on which the king of Changping was ridden was frightened, and ran forward with a neigh, and the young man on the horse broke his tight strings, screamed, and beat the whip indiscriminately to urge the pony to return.

He's going home—

He's looking for his mother—

He doesn't want to die—

The panicked pony and the boy swerves in the opposite direction.

The solemn guards trampled on the horses' hooves, and Huo Lian raised his hand to stop it.

"I'll do it." He said, with a slight twist of the whip in his hand, and the horse moved forward like the wind.

On the bright mountains, black people and black horses are like whirlwinds, and in the blink of an eye they catch up with the ponies and boys who are running and crying, and when people are facing life and death, although they are frightened, they also have the courage to explode, and they hit Huo Lian with the horsewhip, throw away the horsewhip, and take down the bow and arrow-

The eleven-year-old Prince Changping also learned archery when he was learning horsemanship, and the emperor was not negligent in his upbringing, and invited very good teachers who were also very strict.

The little boy's archery skills were not only learned by the show, but at the moment of life and death, the guards who stayed on the side clearly saw the little boy shoot a sharp arrow, and some people couldn't help but urge him to step forward.

Although it is a small beast that has not grown up, it is also very troublesome to open its teeth and claws, and it is always difficult for the governor to face the entanglement alone.

"No, I don't." The guard next to him said, "I heard Zhu Chuan say that when the governor was in the Northern Navy, he was the best at walking alone, and he once ran to the place where the wastelands were located, guess what he did?"

The guards of the Metropolitan Inspectorate were selected from various armies, but there was no Northern Navy, and Huo Lian refused to choose the Northern Navy at that time

people, except for the entourage of Zhu Chuan.

So I don't know much about Huo Lian's past, and I am curious when I hear this, so I ran to the enemy territory alone?

"Are you going to sneak attack?" One asked.

The deeds of the champion Hou are the dream of every soldier.

However, the champion Hou Qi did not do it alone.

The soldier who spoke earlier laughed, "No, no, if that's the case, the governor won't be able to come back." Then he said, "The governor has returned with more than twenty horses."

Although it was not a record like that of the champion Hou, it also made the guards present exclaim, which was more difficult than capturing twenty enemies.

Horses are such livestock that are inherently spiritual and difficult to control, not to mention that the people of the wilderness are extremely good at raising horses and taming horses.

Huo Lian was able to drive back the horses from the desolate hinterland.

Twenty horses!

"That's a fortune!" They couldn't help but cheer.

The previous guard was also triumphant: "So don't worry, don't worry about the governor's ability."

Saying this, everyone looked over and saw that Prince Changping's arrows had been grazed one by one beside Huo Lian, Huo Lian sat on the horse and did not move, only gently waved the whip, and ran briskly left and right beside Prince Changping......

"Look, don't worry." The previous guard continued.

The others nodded, but did not cheer, and the smiles gradually faded, and their eyes were somewhat complicated as they looked at the young man who was relaxed on horseback.

The man who had been able to drive more than twenty horses from enemy territory was now driving an eleven-year-old child to his death.

I don't know why this scene looks weird and funny? Sad?

Funny and sad are not the emotions that the Metropolitan Judge should have.

The guards put away their smiles, sank their frowns, recovered their woods, and watched Huo Lian and Prince Changping disappear into the mountains in front of them.

......

......

The palace of Xuanwen was filled with noise, and the neighing of people and horses mixed with the wails of maids and maids rushed towards the princess in a chaotic manner.

The first crown princess, now Princess Xuanwen, sat in the hall in full costume, her face was very haggard.

Hearing the noise outside, the princess who was sitting upright scolded, "Shut up, don't cry."

The maidservants who poured in were so frightened that they immediately stopped crying.

With his feet stepping, a team of black-clothed guards walked slowly, led by Huo Lian holding a little boy, both of whom were covered in blood.

"Prince Changping was hunting for a birthday gift to show filial piety, and accidentally fell off a cliff." He said, shaking his head and sighing, "The mountains and wilderness here are not royal hunting gardens after all, the mountains and wild things are rampant, and His Royal Highness is young and inexperienced, so he suffers from this misfortune."

Princess Xuanwen stared at Huo Lian's fair face with cold eyes.

"Isn't Hodudu responsible?" She asked word by word.

"The minister is meritorious." Huo Lian said, "Fortunately, the minister arrived in time to rescue His Highness who fell off the cliff, but His Highness's foot was stuck in the gap of the cliff and he couldn't be rescued."

Princess Xuanwen, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then her chest rose and fell violently: "You, you mean, are you still alive?"

Huo Lian took a step back: "I'm still alive now, and I'm going to see a doctor for treatment next......

Before he could finish speaking, Princess Xuanwen stumbled over, and her tense body fell limply in front of Prince Changping.

Only then did she see that although the little boy was covered in blood and unconscious, his chest was heaving.

"Ye'er, Ye'er." Tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out.

The unconscious little boy heard his mother's call and subconsciously muttered, although he was weak and silent, he could see his lips moving and his head shaking.

Still alive, alive.

She didn't expect to live.

She is not a five-year-old child who does not know the world, and when she saw Huo Lian escorting Prince Changping back, her heart was cold.

Who is Huo Lian? In the hands of His Majesty

A knife, a knife that specializes in dirty things, will be stained with blood when the knife comes out of its sheath.

This knife has actually been hanging in my heart all along.

The little uncle who almost grew up in the prince's mansion is no longer a person she can treat at will, so when the emperor said that he wanted the child to stay in the East Palace, she agreed without hesitation.

Who in the world doesn't want to be a mother, but can't, if you want to make your son and mother's family safe, you have to be obedient.

Unexpectedly, it was not good to be obedient, Huo Lian still came to the door.

Since Huo Lian came to the door, she hasn't closed her eyes again, wait, wait, wait until last night when she said that she was going to take her son to hunt, and then wait for her son's corpse-

It turns out that there is still a glimmer of life!

The boulder that pressed on her heart was lifted slightly, and Princess Xuanwen cried and laughed, and shouted urgently: "Come on, come on, pass on the doctor quickly."

The servants of the royal palace inside and outside stood motionless as if they were dead.

Princess Xuanwen looked at Huo Lian, tears in her eyes.

"Call the doctor." Huo Lian said, "So as not to endanger your life."

When his words fell, the people inside and outside were in chaos, crying and shouting, and the whole palace was restored to life.
