Chapter 45
The eve of the storm is always terrifyingly quiet. This tranquility makes everyone hold their breath. They quietly lower their heads and hold the weapon that determines life and death in their hands. Wen Xing felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw them. If he could, Wen Xing really wanted to take them all away, but unfortunately this was an impossible thing. Wen Xing brought the set of ropes with him, and at most fifty or sixty people were allowed to go there. This rope must be destroyed before the enemy arrived, otherwise all this would be wasted.
"Your Highness, everything is ready and we can pass by at any time."
"Zhao Fei, I want to wait a little longer..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Zhao Fei, let Your Highness calm down..."
Of course, Huang Ying knew what the crown prince was feeling at this moment. After all, it was difficult for the crown prince to abandon his subordinates and escape alone. Such behavior was difficult for him to do, let alone the crown prince who loved the people as much as his son. However, if he did not leave, he would waste the sacrifice of the soldiers and the conspiracy of the traitor would succeed. This was not allowed in any case.
"Your Highness, I know you are very sad, but staying will not save everyone's lives. On the contrary, everyone's sacrifice becomes worthless."
"The Crown Princess is right. Your Highness, please leave quickly, remember to avenge us..."
Wen Xing's eyes suddenly turned red, but at this moment a huge explosion sounded. Wen Xing almost jumped up when he heard the familiar explosion. Finally, he made a decision not to leave.
"All the soldiers obeyed the orders. Our reinforcements had reached the foot of the mountain. As long as we persisted for a while, we could get out of trouble..."
"Very good!"
"Zhao Fei obeyed the order and immediately brought 300 elite troops to defend the mountain road. No enemy is allowed to be let go..."
"Not going to take the order!"
All this was as Wen Xing expected, and the cannons were getting louder and louder. King Xiang's men could not face all this. Under the destruction of the ruthless artillery fire, the soldiers were so scared that they ran around. King Xiang didn't even know what was going on, but when he saw the soldiers around him fell one by one, he became scared. After all, these ruthless artillery fire ignored whether he was the prince. He finally found the way down the mountain but stopped him by an iron cavalry. King Xiang was very angry because he knew very well that it was these people who destroyed his plan.
"Who dares to block my king's way..."
"The General of the Banner Banner Li Lu is also..."
"Bold Li Lu, dare to block my way..."
King Xiang rushed towards Li Lu first. Of course he wanted to kill Li Lu down, but Li Lu just held the gun with one hand and gently stepped on it. The severe pain made King Xiang unable to help but shrink his hand and finally knocked his weapons out. King Xiang was shocked at that time, afraid that Li Lu would kill him directly, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't take action.
Li Lu took out the gold medal arrow and said loudly: "Please go back with me..."
The King of Xiang suddenly panicked, and he never expected that Li Lu came by the emperor's order. The King of Xiang turned around and ran away without thinking: "I won't go back, I won't go back..."
Li Lu originally wanted to chase after him, but he stopped him by an old general beside him. The old general was Ma Quan, the father-in-law of the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen. He personally led the Dragon Squad to rescue the Crown Prince. He and Li Lu met successfully in front of the valley. After a brief discussion, they decided to attack the King of Xiang. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, Li Lu's three thousand cavalry actually ate more than 10,000 people in the King of Xiang. In the end, only a few people escaped with the King of Xiang.
"Sir Ma, why do you stop me..."
"Mr. Li, after all, King Xiang is still the emperor's bones. Too anxious is not good for us..."
"this……"
"We'd better go up to welcome His Royal Highness, this is our most important task."
Li Lu finally followed Ma Quan's advice. After all, Jiang is still old and he knows very well that the most important task now is to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince. In this way, he and Ma Quan went up the mountain to welcome the Prince. There were many levels along the way. If Ma Quan hadn't understood these secret codes, they would have been unable to get up at all.
"My father-in-law, thank you for your hard work..." The prince held the father-in-law who was preparing to salute, and it was difficult to express his respect for Ma Quan in thousands of words.
Ma Quan's eyes also became wet. He hugged the prince's arms tightly and said, "Your Highness, the old minister, have let go of the big stone in his heart now."
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered Li Lu kneeling aside. Although he had no impression of this brother-in-law, he knew very well that Li Lu was here to save him this time.
"Mr. Li, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Prince..."
Li Li told the crown prince that this time he was protecting the crown prince along the way by the emperor's order. Unfortunately, the crown prince's whereabouts were strange and unpredictable, and even he had no clue. If Li Li had not discovered Ma Quan's Dragon Squad, he would have not found the whereabouts of His Highness the crown prince.
"Your Highness, you should die if you don't want to be rescued!"
"Mr. Li, this is not your fault, why are you guilty..."
"But……"
"Mr. Li, you don't have to worry about King Xiang's affairs, the emperor will decide..."
Li Lu had already reported the official matters, but he had another private matter to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to decide. It turned out that Li Lu's sisters Li Huier and Xia Yixue were secretly following Li Lu. When he knew it was too late, he had no choice but to bring them together.
"Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!" Ma Quan couldn't help but curse.
The prince couldn't help but smile and said, "Father-in-law, please calm down. I think this should be Sijia's meaning."
"this……"
Ma Quan never thought that this was his daughter's intention. After Li Lu's confirmation, what was going on. The Crown Princess was afraid that the prince would nostalgia for the outside world, so that the two daughters would go back to the palace.
"Crown Princess, this is a good intention..." Li Lu said softly.
Ma Quan sighed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I will talk about her when I go back."
The prince said a little embarrassedly: "No need, this is also the kindness of the princess."
His Royal Highness was very embarrassed. Finally, he quickly left here with the excuse of seeing Li Huier and the others as an excuse. Only then did he realize that Li Huier and the others were actually hiding in a nearby farm, because they were not only a hundred guards waiting around them, but they were also very close to the army and were not afraid of any unexpected situations. Wen Xing was very satisfied with Li Lu's arrangement. After all, this brother-in-law was not only a steadfast and also a good person.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The two girls couldn't help but fly up when they saw the crown prince.
Of course, the prince hugged them in his arms without refusing. Huang Ying followed behind him. Everyone was tactful to leave the wing room when they saw this scene, but they did not expect that the prince would come out in a short while. Of course, the prince had important things to do. He went to find Yao Guangxiao to avenge him immediately, but he was still one step late.
