"I am the most cowardly king of a country, maybe worse than Qi Qingbao!"

In the night, Kang Chengqian put down the medicine bowl, sat weakly on the edge of the bed, and whispered to the henchman eunuch beside him, "Several generations of kings of the Wu Kingdom, when they arrived in my dynasty, they were gradually elevated by these families, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only worked for the benefit of the family behind them, and I was just a stone statue they placed on the court. ”

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch had tears in his eyes, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

"I'm sorry for my ancestors, but I don't want to be a stone statue in the Golden Palace." Kang Chengqian patted the edge of the bed, then put on a single coat and got up, looking at the bronze finch candlestick, "It's they who made a mess of this Wu country, not me!" If they want it, I'll give it to them and see what they can come up with! ”

Regardless of whether he is willful or not, Kang Chengqian has no hope for this Wu State, rather than going on like this, and finally being attacked by the Xia State to become the king of the fallen country, and ending up with a wife and children as slaves, it is better to go to Luyang in the Central Plains of the Xia State while he is still valuable, and bow his head to the emperor who swallows thousands of miles like a tiger.

Anyway, he can mix with a princely heirloom, so that his wife and children can have no worries about food and clothing.

In the next few days, he was in better health, so he still went to greet the fake queen mother as usual, and occasionally stayed in the sleeping hall of the fake queen, in the eyes of Sheng Kang and the civil and military, it was no different from the usual.

Anyway, no one would have thought that the emperor in front of him would have such an outrageous plan to escape.

In front of these people, Kang Chengqian also behaved as in the past, abiding by the rules, sitting on the dragon chair like a piece of wood, listening to these various civil and military performances.

Then, one by one, promises.

After all, even if they didn't promise, these civil and military forces found all kinds of reasons to persuade him and achieve their goals.

In late June, on the twenty-seventh day, Kang Chengqian had just gone down to the court, and he was taking a walk in a flower garden in the harem, and the henchman eunuch next to him did not follow, but went to do other things.

Not long after, the other party came from a palace, and there was an additional person beside him, tall and straight, with neatly combed hair, wearing a set of palace guards' armor and brocade robes, and an ancient sword hanging from his waist.

"Your Majesty!"

The eunuch who came over bowed, and then whispered in Kang Chengqian's ear: "Someone from the Son of Heaven of Xia Kingdom is here." ”

Over there, Kang Chengqian turned around with his hands in his hands and looked at the man beside the eunuch, who nodded slightly and arched his hand towards him, but the afterglow had already swept around.

"Pei Min, the leader of the Embroidery Division of Xia Kingdom."

As he said this, his eyes were also looking at the Emperor of Wu in front of him, probably thinking about what kind of emperor he was thinking about before he made the move to escape.

Then the two of them spoke in a very low voice, in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"What are Commander Pei's plans?"

"Your Majesty disguises himself as a merchant and follows me out of the city during the day."

"That's it?"

Pei Min didn't explain too much to him, only said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty of my family will explain that you must let you arrive in Luyang safely, as for how to do it, don't care, just follow along." ”

If other emperors heard these words, they would have been furious.

But for Kang Chengqian, these words are very common, every few days in the morning, almost all the civil and military officers in the DPRK and China say this, and their ears have already been calloused.

"When?"

"When I came, the plan was laid out, what does Your Majesty think of it now?"

"Now?"

Kang Chengqian looked at the commander of the embroidery department in front of him, with a surprised expression on his face, he didn't expect the other party to be so resolute, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

"Since Commander Pei has faith, then I will believe in you."

Pei Min took a step back and stretched forward with his sword: "Your Majesty, please go and change your clothes, and let a person with a figure like you pretend to be ......"

Then he followed Kang Chengqian to the Taihe Hall of the harem, and helped the other party change a set, he brought ordinary people's robes from outside, put on the round hats that only ordinary people wear, and used some women's makeup, so that Kang Chengqian looked like a man who traveled south and north.

Then let a eunuch of similar size wear a god suit, and then let a group of henchmen and guards protect him, pretending to go to the inner lake of Houyuan to row, as soon as he was ready, Pei Min took Kang Chengqian, and his henchmen and eunuchs walked along the palace road with few people, and the henchmen and eunuchs walked in the front and sent away the people they met along the way.

quickly came to a dog hole, and the two drilled through the palace wall in front of them, and when they came out, Pei Min had already jumped over the palace wall and landed firmly in front of them.

"Keep up!"

This place belongs to the scope of the East Palace, and there is a secret passage in the nearby corner, and it is from there that the henchman eunuch brought Pei Min in.

For almost half an hour, the Wu family would look for the emperor's figure, or check if His Majesty had seen anyone and where he had gone today, and then go over and quietly take a look to confirm.

The commander of the guards in the middle palace is surnamed Meng, who is the eyeliner of several powerful families in the civil and military who entered the palace together, and Kang Chengqian also knew that in the past, he had no intention of escaping, and he did not want to concentrate the monarchy.

So the attitude towards this eyeliner is indifferent.

At present, he followed a team of guards to the inner lake, and saw the emperor waiting for the boat by the river from a distance, and he didn't care about the queen mother and queen, so he took a cursory look, but for the emperor, he had to keep an eye on it, and only after confirming it would he leave.

'Not true! ’

With just one glance, the back of the emperor over there and the back he had seen countless times could hardly coincide, so he immediately found an excuse in his heart and stepped forward to ask.

"Your Majesty!"

He led a team of guards, his steps were extremely fast, and he opened his mouth abruptly, making the 'Emperor' who was facing away from him tremble, and when he heard the sound of weapons colliding, the 'Emperor' closed his eyes in fear.

"Your Majesty?!"

There was another voice behind him, and as soon as the 'emperor' pretended to be a hoarse voice spoke: "Commander Meng, you have ......" The words were only halfway through, and his shoulders were instantly grabbed, and several guards guarding the 'emperor' around him hurriedly drew their swords and headed towards Meng Zhijue.

"Where is Your Majesty?!"

Seeing that the emperor in front of him was actually a beardless eunuch, his face suddenly flashed with anger, and in the loud shouts, the steel knife on his waist came out of the sheath, chopping the fake emperor in front of him to death, and a team of guards beside him also divided half of them, rushed to several guards who guarded the 'emperor', and immediately fought together.

"Stop them, and the rest will follow me!"

Meng Zhijue suddenly noticed that things had become weird, and issued an order as he walked: "Send someone to inform Prime Minister Gu Cheng immediately, as well as the Taiwei and them, Your Majesty is gone!" In addition, immediately send someone to the Queen Mother and the Queen to check, you must be fast! ”

Several guards left one after another, stayed on the side of Qinghe Building, and went to check on the queen mother's guards back, telling them that both of them were pretending, and several princes in the palace were also not real.

"The emperor, the empress, and the queen mother are actually ......"

Meng Zhijue was a little stupid, what he was guarding against in the palace was actually that the emperor wanted to suppress the family and regain power, or other families secretly communicated with the emperor to subvert the civil and military forces that were now in power.

I didn't expect that for more than ten years, none of these have appeared, but the emperor ran away.

"Dark Path!"

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Zhijue calmed down, the emperor wanted to leave the palace, obviously he couldn't go out of the imperial city, otherwise he would have known about it a long time ago, and the only place to go out was those secret passages.

"Immediately torture those eunuchs around Your Majesty!"

When he learned about the secret passage on the side of the East Palace, another half an hour had passed, and while he was leading people to pursue, Gu Chongwen of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Imperial City had already taken people out of the Imperial City and sent the Imperial City Forbidden Army to search.

In the name of the name, it was naturally that the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother were robbed, and Fan Li, who received the news, also sent a guard and a personal soldier to search, and the two met at the east gate of the imperial city.

"I didn't expect His Majesty in the palace to be fake."

"It's too early today, how can it be fake, it must have been a short time, and checkpoints have been set up along the way, so don't let other state and county generals and officials know."

"I still need to say it, but your Prime Minister's Mansion is in the Imperial City, so you are so careless!"

"Fart, how did I expect that Your Majesty would leave the imperial city and take the queen mother away!"

Between the words, there was an order to gallop over, it was sent by the generals of the imperial city, and behind the other party was a big clan surnamed Li in Wu, who controlled the wood in Wu realm.

"Prime Minister, Tai Lieutenant, there is a suspicious caravan leaving the city at the East City Gate today."

"Pursue it immediately, Your Majesty must be recovered!"

……

The sun shines brighter after noon, and the temperature rises sharply.

A caravan from the east gate of Shengkang was speeding along the official road, and Pei Min, who had taken off the clothes of the palace guards, changed into a brocade robe and a black robe, wore a hat on his head, and rode in front of the convoy.

The rickety four carts were loaded with beans, which were used to hide people's eyes and ears, and between the potholes of the road, the bodies shook, and the sound of gold and iron bumping could be faintly heard below.

Among the accompanying porters, a man with a rough face and big steps was wearing straw sandals and coarse linen clothes, holding on to the frame awkwardly, looking back from time to time, with a nervous look in his eyes.

Just as he turned back for the seventh time, there was a wave of dust at the end of his vision, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbling on the ground spread.

This is the power that can only be run by fast horses in the army, Kang Chengqian immediately squeezed the frame and called in a low voice: "Commander Pei!" ”

On the war horse ahead, Pei Min turned his face slightly, made a short sound in his mouth, turned around on his horse, crossed Kang Chengqian to meet the dust that spread over, and saw the seven horsemen rushing over, as if they had been inspected in front before, he drew his sword and shouted: "The convoy in front stops, show the official certificate, and check the number of days of trading!" ”

The convoy did not stop, Kang Chengqian was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, he was about to stop, and the next second, with a flower in his eyes, he saw Commander Pei who was coming up, and suddenly drew his sword.

The sword light was as dazzling as thunder, and he quickly closed his eyes, and heard the scream of "ah" in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, the seven people had fallen off the horse and died on the ground.

'One by one, he killed seven of them. ’

Kang Chengqian was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, this Pei Commander was even more ferocious than the commander of the guards in his palace.

"Your Majesty, don't look at it, hurry up!"

The henchman eunuch was also dressed in disguise, he was wrapped in a turban, pushing the carriage frame and urging again and again, "This commander, the slave maid heard that he is known as the Sword Saint, and he is the great commander of the Embroidery Division, and the deputy commander heard that he is his apprentice, known as the Sword Immortal, with this Sword Saint here, Your Majesty will definitely be able to reach Luyang safely!" ”

Juggernaut? Sword Immortal?

Kang Chengqian's mind was a little unturned, he looked at the commander named Pei Min, and was secretly shocked in his heart, such a strong person was just asked to do the work of a secret agent?

Wouldn't the generals in the army be even more powerful!

It's stable.

He thought.

"The other party must have discovered us!" Pei Min galloped back, inserted the ancient sword in his hand back into the sheath, "Immediately abandon the vehicle, speed forward, and rush to the beach." ”

Just when everyone was rushing to the east, all the big clans on Shengkang's side also found that something was wrong, the government was fast, and the soldiers in the Taiwei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion had already run outside the east gate, and found seven people on the official road, as well as four abandoned cars, and immediately determined the target, and accelerated the manpower to spread out and search quickly.

In less than a moment, the clues were found: the footprints of the group, the weeds that were low.

Meng Zhijue, the commander of the imperial city, was also among them, and he first sent a soldier on horseback to chase after him, and in less than half an hour, he fled back in panic, fifteen horsemen, and fourteen people were killed, which was extremely cruel.

However, I also learned that it was the secret agent of the Xia Kingdom-Embroidery Division.

When Prime Minister Gu Chongwen and Taiwei Fan Li learned the news, they had a bad premonition in their hearts, and immediately let the soldiers and horses scattered around them frantically block the other party's escape route.

At the same time, additional warships were sent to let them go out of the sea from the Huai River and patrol along the coast to eliminate the possibility that they might leave by sea.

In the fields and official roads that extend eastward to Shengkang, as well as all the passes and foothills leading to the coast, arrows continue to shoot into the sky, revealing the location of the fine work.

Catchers, officials, and troops, a large number of people converged on this side.

……

On the shore, the sound of the waves sweeping resounded, and the noise of fighting penetrated.

A group of soldiers, catching and killing more than ten people, one by one figures rushed up, and were slashed to the ground by dazzling weapons, and the masters of the embroidery division firmly protected Kang Chengqian and the two, they dared to come to Wudi, and they had already put life and death aside.

The Grand Commander Pei Min even smashed into the crowd, his sword light flickering, like lightning in the clouds. The commander of the palace guards named Meng Zhijue was so frightened that he retreated again and again and did not dare to step forward again, so he could only let the soldiers rush up to fight.

"Where's your Son of Heaven's ship? Why hasn't it come yet! ”

Kang Chengqian saw that there were more and more soldiers of Wu Guo who were surrounding, he stomped his feet anxiously, and he simply rushed out and shouted: "I am the son of Wu Guo, you are waiting for the king, I can't go to the Central Plains, don't wait for me to catch up again!" ”

"Don't listen to Your Majesty's nonsense, he was kidnapped by Xia Guo's secret agents, so he had to say this!" Meng Zhijue shouted on horseback, raised his knife and pointed over: "Kill the secret agent of the Xia Kingdom and save Your Majesty!" ”

Pei Min cut off several heads with a sword, and his body shuttled through the chaotic crowd, and his body was not stained with blood.

He looked back at the people of the embroidered clothes who were surrounded and impenetrable, reached out and touched his arms, threw out a token, and landed on the ground.

Wow!

A horse neighed and resounded high-pitched, masking the boiling fighting.

The next second.

In the distance, a soldier screamed, and flew over with a bang, almost smashing Meng Zhijue off his horse, he turned his head, and in his field of vision, he saw a powerful figure, holding a phoenix wing, a five-spotted divine horse, standing outside the battle group.

"Who dares to disturb my tranquility!"

The voice is majestic.
