Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 578

[Chapter 578 Escape Plan]

Jinling North Gate.

The city gate guard kept looking towards the end of the street with an anxious expression on his face.

He was originally a person placed by the Xie family in the imperial army.

Later, he got Xiao Cheng’s attention, so the Xie family let him take advantage of the opportunity and join Xiao Cheng’s command.

“General, here we come!”

Suddenly a soldier pointed to the end of the street, and saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him.

Zhao Heng in dragon robe and Empress Xie in phoenix robe could be vaguely seen among the cavalry.

Seeing this, he immediately let the soldiers get out of the way.

When the cavalry came close, they didn’t stop, but went straight out of the city gate and headed north.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that the person riding the same horse as the emperor was none other than Wei Hao, the captain of the Imperial Army.

Thinking that he was also a member of the Xie family who had been placed in the imperial army, he didn’t think deeply about it.

When all the cavalry rushed out of the city gate, he also led the troops away.

If Xiao Cheng knew that he was from the Xie family, his life would be over.

“No, go here!” The

cavalry had traveled five miles, and Empress Xie suddenly shouted when she saw Zhao Heng’s cavalry team heading for Jinling Wharf.

Zhao Heng turned around at this time and said to Empress Xie, “Queen, I am going to take refuge in Yanzhou this time, do you want to go with me?

” We are going to Yangcheng now, what Yanzhou?”

Then, her complexion changed suddenly, she looked at Wei Hao, “Aren’t you sent by uncle Guo?”

Wei Hao didn’t speak.

Zhao Heng nodded. At the moment, Wei Hao led more cavalry than Queen Xie did. He was not afraid at all, so he said, “In this case, let me part ways for the queen. Although the queen and I have a firm relationship, I never The clan can no longer be trusted.”

At a critical moment, Xie Duan can force him to make the eldest prince the crown prince, and then he can kill him and let the eldest prince ascend the throne.

Looking around the world, he can only live if he goes to Yanzhou.

This is what he decided after a long time of deliberation after he was placed under house arrest.

After all, he stopped explaining and urged Wei Hao to leave quickly.

Xiao Cheng had many soldiers and horses, and when they caught up, he couldn’t leave by himself.

“Your Majesty, don’t…” Empress Xie screamed.

But Wei Hao has already urged his horse to go northwest.

Empress Xie wanted to go after him, but she hesitated when she thought that Zhao Heng’s imperial decree was on her body, and let the cavalry go to Yangcheng.

If he falls into Xiao Cheng’s hands, even if Xiao Cheng doesn’t kill her, he will definitely burn the imperial decree.

How could she lose the crown prince’s crown prince?

The two teams of cavalry left separately.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Heng arrived at Jinling Wharf.

At this time, King Chun was already waiting at the pier. When he saw Zhao Heng coming, he immediately helped Zhao Heng off his horse and said to Zhao Heng: “Your Majesty, hurry up and get on the boat.

” when.

After he boarded the ship, the merchant ship left the pier, sailed to the middle of the Jiujiang River, and went down the river.

Wei Hao and other Imperial Army soldiers also boarded other merchant ships and followed Zhao Heng’s merchant ship.

Not long after, Xiao Cheng came with a large group of cavalry. At this time, the river was surging, and there was no sign of a merchant ship.

“Hey!” Xiao Cheng slammed his helmet on the ground, “Xie family, thank you Xie family, my Xiao family has nothing to do with you, and Wei Hao, next time we meet on the battlefield, I will kill you!

” Well, he glanced at Jiujiang again, turned around and returned to Jinling.

He needs to tell Dou Wei about this.

If Zhao Heng escaped, they could not force Zhao Heng to issue an imperial decree to make the third prince the crown prince.

Now with the scattered rumors, it is even more impossible for the third prince to ascend the throne.

The cavalry left one after another. At this time, Dong An came out of the cabin of a merchant ship that was leaving in the middle of the river. ‘

Looking towards Jinling City, he sighed slightly.

Then, another person came out, but it was Mi Yan.

Staring at Jinling in a daze, his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed: “The rise and fall of the dynasty is like the water in this river, flowing eastward and unstoppable. I didn’t expect Da Song to go on this road after all. From now on, this world will not be peaceful. It ‘s gone.”

“Master Mi, why bother to be sad, there is no rebirth if there is no death, maybe there will be a better song in the future.” Dong An laughed.

Jinling is prosperous, but in the past few years in Jinling, all he has seen is luxury, depravity and corruption, which is far less prosperous than Yanzhou now.

Therefore, he is leaving Jinling now, but he is not sad at all, but has a sense of expectation to return to his hometown.

“It’s true.” Mi Yan wiped away tears, and said to Dong An: “This time, I want to thank you for saving me. Now, Xiao Cheng may have searched for me and my father in the city.”

Dong An said: “You don’t need to thank me, Your Highness has already made arrangements in Jinling, in order to prepare for today’s situation.”

When the secret of the Dou family was spread in Jinling, people in the Fourth Court became vigilant.

They worked together according to the plan, and immediately started the escape plan.

If there is no trouble in Jinling, this plan will be cancelled, and if there is trouble, the action will be taken directly.

After that, someone stared at the city gate.

When they found out that Xiao Cheng had returned to Jinling and dispatched troops, they decided to flee, so they arranged for Miyan Mizhuang to escape from Jinling before the west gate was closed.

On the one hand, he was preparing to let the palace should bring Concubine Mi out.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the imperial army controlled by Xie’s family fighting with the imperial army controlled by Xiao Cheng, and also met Concubine Mi.

So they followed all the way, and when Wei Hao came out, they took advantage of the confusion to rescue Concubine Mi.

In addition to him, the guys from the trading firm also came to Jinling Wharf early to prepare the merchant ships.

It was just because they were waiting for Concubine Mi that they set off later than Zhao Heng.

Fortunately, Xiao Cheng only paid attention to Zhao Heng’s merchant ships and didn’t care about them.

“King Yan is really thoughtful.” Mi Yan couldn’t help but marvel.

Then he opened the door curtain and entered the cabin.

In the cabin, Mi Zhuang was sitting opposite Mi Concubine.

…

the residence of the third prince.

Dou Wei came here when he came back from the villa.

He believes that the third prince has now figured out his identity.

“Is this all true?” In the study, Zhao Mu’s eyes were red.

Getting an affirmative answer from Dou Wei, he sat down slowly, as if he had lost all his strength.

He lived as the prince of Dasong for more than twenty years.

The identity of the prince is his pride, even if Dou Wei treats him as if he is his own son, he still wants to ascend the throne one day, once he wants to curb the growth of the Dou family and maintain the foundation of the royal family.

But for a moment, his faith completely collapsed.

It turned out that he was not a prince, but a traitor and traitor through and through.

His father and emperor would only kill him and his mother and concubine.

“Mu’er, I know this is hard to accept, but it’s the truth. I’m your biological father, and the Dou family is your family.” Dou Wei wanted to reach out and stroke Zhao Mu’s head, but when he saw Zhao Mu’s murderous eyes, he retracted. hands.

Sighing, he said: “No matter what, we have nowhere to go. The Dou family will either become a new royal family or be destroyed. There is no other way to go.”
