Chapter 7: Chaos
Li Shan was very worried at this time, and he wanted to leave the royal forest and escape from the royal city that had begun to be chaotic. It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and when Li Shan escapes to the edge www.biquge.info of the forest, he finds that there are already a lot of heavy guards, and it is basically impossible for Li Shan to escape.
But Li Shan was unwilling to be caught like this, he knew that once he was caught, it would be a dead end, with Li Shan's understanding of Prince Ma and the crown prince, neither of them would let him go. So Li Shan must escape.
There is no way, there is no way, Li Shan frowned sadly and rubbed his head that was a little swollen.
He wandered around the edge of the forest, trying to find a breakthrough, but unfortunately the entire royal forest seemed to be cordoned off, and no one could escape. At this time, he hid on the west side of the royal forest, secretly watching the guards hundreds of meters away, these guards kept an eye on the forest day and night, and did not relax at all. After Li Shan circled the Royal Forest, he found that in a large area on the west side of the Royal Forest, there would be cooking smoke rising from time to time outside, which made Li Shan feel pleasantly surprised, obviously there were several villages outside, Li Shan could faintly feel the carriages coming and going outside, and it was clear that the royal family used official roads to separate the Royal Forest from the village.
So, the two sides confronted each other like this for several days, and Li Shan's trace was still not found, and the emperor lost his temper several times for this matter, and the prince also gritted his teeth and cursed the blessing in secret. Unbeknownst to them, Li Shan was hiding within a few hundred meters of their troops, and most of the troops were scrambling to search the royal forest. Li Shan's trace was not found, but he found a few unlucky hunters, who were tortured and almost lost their lives.
That night, Li Shan hid in a tree, and he slept in the tree all these days, hiding behind the leaves to sleep lightly. Li Shan didn't dare to sleep to death every day when he slept, for fear that he would be found out if he slept too deeply and made some big moves. Suddenly, Li Shan heard the sound of Xi Xisuo, and was immediately awakened, and when he heard that someone was approaching, Li Shan sat on the trunk of the tree stiffly and motionless.
In less than a moment, Li Shan heard the two approaching, and the armor on the two of them made a rattling sound, obviously the two were not active about patrolling.
"Alas, you said that this damn blessing, let us catch it, but we have been here for nearly ten days, and we don't know what happened to my little peach. One person sighed for a long time, and the person next to him also said helplessly: "Don't complain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to find Laifu and kill him as soon as possible, if others find us first, we will bear the wrath of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"That's what I said, hurry up and find it, look for it, when is this a head. The man lamented, and the two drifted away.
Li Shan, who was hiding in the tree, heard the conversation between the two in his ears, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the news that he was still alive made the culprit uneasy, and he wanted to kill himself to prevent future troubles. Since the prince didn't want to be caught by others, Li Shan had the hope of escaping.
Li Shan thought of a way, so he followed these two people, and these two people were the key to the "cooperation" between Li Shan and His Royal Highness the Prince. The two Praetorian Guards, who were secretly loyal to the Prince, would come out every night to look for Li Shan's traces, even though they thought they could not find Li Shan. On this day, the two went out to patrol as usual, and the two who had not slept for several days looked a little tired.
At that moment, one of them suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air, and something flew in front of him, and the wind blew his cheeks painfully, and the thing slammed into the tree with a thud, and fell to the ground after being stopped.
"Who!" a stirring spirit in the other man's brain pulled out the long knife from his waist with a thud, and looked around vigilantly.
The wind whistled and the leaves rustled, and there was no sound to answer the man's question.
The man who was almost attacked also saw the thing that shot at this time, which was a stone with a strip of cloth tied to it. The man picked up the stone, took apart the strip of cloth and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and he whispered to the other person: "Go!"
The two left quickly, Li Shan had already left after throwing out the stone, even if the two had the heart to search around, they couldn't find Li Shan. After doing this, Li Shan went around to the north side of the forest and hid on the north side.
At this time, the crown prince Li Zhi walked around his tent with an anxious face, and a ruthless look appeared on his face from time to time. At this moment, his entourage walked in from outside the door and whispered in the prince's ear: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the Praetorian Guard has sent this thing, saying that it is for you. ”
The prince was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Give it to me quickly." ”
"Yes. The attendant whispered, took out a strip of cloth from his pocket, and put his hands in front of the prince.
The prince snatched it up, glanced at the content on it, and suddenly looked bad, snorted coldly, and waved his hand to let the entourage retreat. After the entourage left the tent, the prince's face became extremely hideous, and there was a little helplessness. His right fist slammed on the table, and the prince gritted his teeth and said, "What a blessing! How dare you threaten a widow like this!"
This is said very harshly and very weakly.
This cloth strip reads that Li Shan asked the prince to start a riot on the west side on the first watch tomorrow to attract the surrounding Praetorian Guards, otherwise he will throw himself into the Praetorian Guards, and send the prince out as soon as possible, and also wrote that he didn't know the emperor's thoughts, but King Jing would definitely rather kill by mistake than let go.
Such a threat really made the prince's hatred for Li Shan reach its peak, especially when Li Shan also told him about the prince's conspiracy that he had learned about half a year ago, the prince suddenly remembered that the two of them did suspect that someone was eavesdropping that day in King Jing's mansion, but he didn't expect it to be this blessing. Now the prince was convinced of Li Shan's words, he didn't dare to take a risk, if Li Shan really did what he said, no matter whether his father doubted whether his father doubted that the prince would not be able to sit still.
The prince had already planned everything, but the kid from the Li family actually found Ma Gan's body in advance and sent the news back in advance, and fled Li Shan, the person who dared to threaten him, knowing that his plan was no longer feasible.
He had no choice.
Li Shan, he had fled to the northwest side of the forest, and he believed that the ambition of the prince would definitely do what he said.
Sure enough, on the second night, Li Shan silently looked at the northwest side of the forest, and suddenly the fire in the distance soared, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the northwest side all panicked, shouting loudly that they had gone off the fire, and a large number of people flocked to the west side of the forest like a tide, and suddenly most of the soldiers guarding the northwest side were missing.
Li Shan was overjoyed in his heart, and understood that the prince had really made a move. At this time, Li Shan did not hesitate, and quickly rushed towards the weakest place in the defense with his hidden figure. There were only two people in that place, and the distance between the two was still very far, and there was an obstacle in between.
Li Shan let himself not be discovered, walked over quietly, and gave him a hand knife behind the soldier's back, knocking him unconscious, so that he didn't even make the slightest sound. Li Shan helped the soldier to gently put him on the ground, then put the soldier's clothes on himself, lowered the helmet to cover half of his face, and walked out.
"Brother, don't go! There aren't enough people here!" another soldier hurriedly shouted when he saw Li Shan coming out. When Li Shan heard this, his heart jumped, and he made himself seem more natural and ran towards the west side of the forest.
"What's wrong with this brother?" shouted the man depressed, where did he scratch his head, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, after a long time, his face changed, he suddenly remembered how the person was so short just now, and remembered that he and the others were going to arrest a fourteen-year-old boy, and suddenly understood that the person who came over was not a soldier of the Praetorian Guard, but the Laifu!
"Everyone, chase after him!" the soldier shouted at the top of his voice, attracting a large crowd of people to chase after him.
It's a pity that Li Shan threw aside the armor on his body after turning a few corners and ran to the village where he had already calculated the direction.
A few days ago, the second child of the Liu family, the head of Zhangjie Village, a neighboring village, and several people went to hunt in the forest opposite the official road. The villagers didn't know that the forest had been occupied by the royal family and were not allowed to enter, but they were forced to make a living and still took the risk to go inside. Originally, a few of them should have come back a few days ago, but suddenly the guards of the Royal Forest became much stricter, and seeing that the second child of the Liu family had not come back for a long time, everyone knew that they would not be able to come back.
Now every day, I hear the wailing and crying of Zhangjie Village, and the villagers shake their heads and sigh.
That night, a sudden fire rose into the sky on the other side of the Royal Forest, followed by a number of noisy noises, awakening the villagers who were already asleep. They walked out of the room one after another, watching in amazement as the people on the other side rushed to the south, not knowing what was happening.
In their anxiety, a big man came into the village with an army and asked if a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old had ever come to the village, and everyone shook their heads and said that they had not seen it.
The villagers who suffered from this unwarranted disaster looked at the ruined village, hated these officers and soldiers, and did not dare to vent their anger, so they could only endure it in silence.
These officers and soldiers came to track down Li Shan's traces, and the looting of the villagers was just a matter of their own hand. These officers and soldiers didn't know that in order not to expose his whereabouts, Li Shan did not stop at Gray Temple Village at all, and directly passed through Gray Temple Village at night and went to a farther place.
In the next few days, everyone in Gray Temple Village heard that all the people in Zhangjie Village had been taken away, and the charge given by the government was because the villagers were arrested and someone was unwilling to burn the royal forest.
These civilians at the lowest level live as if they were suffering.
