Chapter 218: Escape from the Palace
When those guards surrounded Long Xiaotian, he was not bound by bracelets and anklets, and there was no panicked expression on his face, because with his current martial arts, it was almost more than enough to deal with the few miscellaneous hairs around him.
I saw him turn his head and say to Wu Min, "Min'er, if you are ready, lie on my back." ”
Wu Min lay on Long Xiaotian's back without saying a word and said to her brother-in-law Wang Baobao: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm going to leave Dadu with Brother Long now, but you can rest assured that after you go out, I will definitely find a way to kill Chen Youliang, the dog thief." ”
As soon as Wu Min's words fell, Long Xiaotian kicked a group of guards around him and Wang Baobao himself to the ground with his chain of legs, and then escaped from the dungeon with Wu Min on his back, and then flew out of the palace like this.
The next day, several ministers of the imperial court who learned the news immediately went to the court, and they were attacking Yuan Huizong again about Long Xiaotian's abduction of Wu Min last night.
"Emperor Qi, yesterday Weichen learned that the thief leader of the White Lotus Sect, Long Xiaotian, kidnapped Princess Mingxia, which shows that Princess Mingxia has indeed turned her back on the court and taken refuge in the White Lotus Sect. ”
"Your Majesty, you can no longer be partial to her because she is your daughter, she has already committed a capital crime by colluding with the White Lotus Sect to betray the court, you have to set an example in front of the ministers!"
"Your Majesty, since Princess Mingxia no longer has the court in her heart, why do you want to recognize this traitor as your daughter again! This country is the country of our Mongolians, and the court is the court of our Mongolians, please ask the emperor to sever the father-daughter relationship with her, and quickly set up a prince to appease our group of ministers!"
Seeing that these ministers were going too far, Yuan Huizong couldn't help but stand up from the throne and said angrily: "Presumptuous, you guys are too much, and you actually interfere in my family affairs privately, which is simply rebellious. ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that we want to take care of your family affairs, it's because when Princess Mingxia went to Nanao Island that day, she threw the treasure to Chen Youliang and brought such a big threat to the imperial court, and we no longer believe in Princess Mingxia. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen originally had no intention of taking care of the emperor's family affairs, but Princess Mingxia has been very close to the White Lotus Sect's traitor Long Xiaotian recently, and she deliberately let go of the five major factions in Baita Temple that day, and deliberately let go of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun, the leaders of the thief army, when Majiazhuang was in Majiazhuang, we no longer believe her, not to mention that she is a daughter and will not be able to inherit the throne in the future. The emperor might as well appoint a prince who is loyal to my Great Yuan Dynasty as the crown prince as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the ministers!"
"You...... You guys...... You ......"
Seeing that this group of ministers were so presumptuous, Yuan Huizong was so angry with them that he couldn't speak. At this time, Wang Baobao walked in from outside the door of the main hall and said to the ministers in front of him: "You guys have completely misunderstood Princess Mingxia, Min Mei, what she hates the most now is Chen Youliang, the reason why she agreed to go with Long Xiaotian is to use the hand of the White Lotus Sect to destroy Chen Youliang's Tianwan Kingdom, and wait until they are both defeated, and then join forces with the imperial army to annihilate it in one fell swoop." ”
One of the ministers asked, "Why are you so sure? Do you have proof?"
"It was Min Mei who told me in person yesterday before leaving with Long Xiaotian, she has always felt guilty about the loss of the treasure, so she wants to atone for her crimes to prove that she is loyal to the imperial court, and now that she has found this opportunity, you might as well wait for her to see her performance!
As soon as Wang Baobao's words fell, all the ministers who took care of their lives were talking about it, discussing it one after another.
"You can't believe what King Pingnan said!"
Maybe Princess Mingxia is not what we think, after all, she is also a descendant of Genghis Khan!"
"Well, in my opinion, it's better to give her this chance!"
After discussing for a while, the minister headed by Gu Ming said to Yuan Huizong: "Your Majesty, I will give Princess Mingxia another chance to prove her innocence for the time being, if she does something sorry for the court again, and the emperor refuses to make a prince, there is no need for us to continue to protect the Great Yuan Dynasty." ”
After saying this, the ministers left the palace together, and after they left, Yuan Huizong thanked Wang Baobao: "Emperor, thank you for relieving me just now, but these ministers have always been loyal to the imperial court on weekdays, and it is understandable that they do so. ”
"Father, you don't have to worry, Min Mei did say yesterday that she would definitely find a way to kill Chen Youliang, the dog thief, after she went out, I think she would really use the hands of the White Lotus Sect to kill Chen Youliang this time. ”
"I actually think the same way, Chen Youliang's current goal is to eliminate the White Lotus Sect and not our imperial court, but if she really helps the White Lotus Sect destroy Chen Youliang, can you guarantee that she will help the imperial court destroy the White Lotus Sect while the White Lotus Sect's vitality is seriously damaged?"
"Father, don't worry, I will persuade her when the time comes. ”
On the other hand, after escaping from the capital, Long Xiaotian and Wu Min had come to a dense forest on the outskirts of the city to talk.
"It seems that your father had long expected that you would not be able to persuade me to submit to the imperial court, so he sent your brother-in-law Wang Baobao to bring people to kill me. ”
Wu Min sighed helplessly at this time and said, "My father doesn't believe me anymore, and he didn't expect that I would actually save you, which makes him heartbroken." ”
Long Xiaotian approached her and put his two hands on her shoulders, so that Wu Min at this moment suddenly felt the care and warmth from his arms, and said with a sincere expression: "Min'er, come with me! Don't do anything more Princess Mingxia, don't pay attention to the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the Yuan Dynasty, we won't be so hostile from now on." ”
Wu Min slowly pulled away Long Xiaotian's two hands on her shoulders, then turned around and sighed helplessly, and said in a flat tone: "We are born mortal enemies, this is an objective fact, and no one can change it. If it were you, would you completely abandon your parents, your relatives, and your country to be with an enemy who invaded your country?"
After hearing this, Long Xiaotian also lowered his head helplessly, and did not say anything more, and the two of them were silent for a long time.
After a while, Wu Min slowly turned around and faced Long Xiaotian and said, "Since the historical process of changing the dynasty is inevitable, I can only accept it slowly. But can you promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?"
"I only ask you to really lead your White Lotus Sect army to Dadu in the future, and you can spare my father and my brother for the sake of my affection, can you do it?"
Faced with this helpless and humble request made by Wu Min, he had no room to refuse, so he nodded heavily and agreed: "Okay, I promise you, when the day comes to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, I will not let anyone hurt your father and your brother." ”
Seeing that Long Xiaotian agreed to his heavy request, Wu Min threw himself into his arms with a hint of emotion, sighed sadly and helplessly, buried his face in Long Xiaotian's chest and said, "Why is my life so bitter, God wants to be so cruel to make me fall in love with someone I shouldn't love, why?"
Long Xiaotian lowered his head, put his mouth to her ear, and said softly: "Min'er, don't worry about the future, no matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side, care for you and love you." ”
Chen Youliang's fleet had already moved east along the Yangtze River and was advancing from the west in the direction of Poyang Lake.
With the sudden sound of gongs and drums on the fleet, the morale of his team, which claimed to have 600,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of warships, had reached its peak moment.
In the past few months, he has relied on the treasure he snatched from Wu Min to recruit troops and expand his power, and he has trained an elite army with strong combat effectiveness with the "Wu Mu's Testament" he obtained.
