Although Rong Zhen and Lu Zheng have temporarily escaped Han Zhu's pursuit, it does not mean that they are safe. The entire Yanjing is now full of Wei Wang's spies. If they are not careful, they will be discovered. Then they may not be so lucky.

Lu Zheng suggested that the two escape separately, because if Rong Zhen was alone, he would allow it more easily, but if he took himself with him, the risk would be much greater. Rong Zhen disagreed. If Han Zhu did not regard Lu Zheng as a target before, then Lu Zheng would not be in danger if he escaped alone. But now Han Zhu hated Lu Zheng to the core. How could he abandon Lu Zheng at this time?

The two did not dare to enter the city. They did not bring much dry food with them, and they had already eaten most of it. In addition, they had to pay attention to the pursuers all the time and leave immediately at the slightest sign of trouble. Rong Zhen had experienced this kind of hardship, but he could not help but feel distressed when he saw Lu Zheng, who was suffering with him but did not say a word.

The two were very careful along the way, but they could not leave any traces. They escaped for a day, but were finally blocked in a desperate place.

The two were being pursued in front of them and there was a cliff behind them. Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for was that Han Zhu was not among the pursuers at this time. Han Zhu must have been misled by the clues that Rong Zhen had deliberately left behind. Even so, they could not escape from being surrounded by dozens of people, not to mention that Lu Zheng knew no Kung Fu at all.

Rong Zhen protected Lu Zheng behind him. The horses of the two men moved uneasily in place. Rong Zhen's eyes suddenly softened. He whispered, "Do you regret it?"

Lu Zheng looked at the back of the man blocking him. He did not feel the fear of death in his heart, but felt endless peace of mind. He raised the corners of his mouth lightly, but said firmly, "I never regretted it."

Rong Zhen smiled slightly and looked at the pursuers who were waiting in front of him. His eyes gradually changed. He drew out the sharp blade in his hand and held it in front of him.

The dozens of dead soldiers looked at each other and rushed towards the two men at the same time.

Rong Zhen also picked up the sharp sword in his hand and rushed towards them. He had already made up his mind to die. He wanted to use this method to fight a way out for Lu Zheng from the desperate situation.

Rong Zhen finally understood what his mentor said. He might never be a real politician. He cared about too many things and couldn't give up too many things.

Lu Zheng watched anxiously. Even though Rong Zhen was a skilled martial artist, he couldn't beat four hands with two fists. The successive attacks of the assassins had already caused many wounds on his body. But he had been blocking them in front, not allowing them to hurt Lu Zheng behind him.

At this moment, one of the assassins found an opportunity and thrust the long sword forward. The sharp blade pierced through Rong Zhen's body. Rong Zhen couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down on one knee, covering the wound.

Seeing that the sword was about to chop down at Rong Zhen, he rolled back and dodged it. Standing up again, Rong Zhen wiped the blood from his lips and supported himself with his sword. Lu Zheng could no longer bear it and rushed up from behind to support him. He bit his lips tightly to prevent tears from falling. Since he met Rong Zhen, he had never seen him so ferocious. In his heart, Rong Zhen was always the calm and composed prince, but even so, he never felt afraid, only relieved.

The assassins had already attacked with swords raised, and Lu Zheng directly blocked in front of Rong Zhen and closed his eyes tightly.

The sound of swords piercing flesh could be heard, but Lu Zheng did not feel any pain. He opened his eyes in disbelief, and saw the assassin in front of him with a look of disbelief, and a knife tip pierced through his chest.

Lu Zheng was stunned, and his eyes followed the fallen assassin to the face of the person behind him.

"Jian Yu!" Lu Zheng looked at him in shock.

At the same time, a team of masked guards had begun to reap the lives of the remaining assassins.

Jian Yu took a deep look at Lu Zheng, then turned behind him: "Your Highness the King of Chu, are you okay?"

Rong Zhen did not expect Jian Yu to appear, but he also understood that Jian Yu did not stand with his biological father, the King of Wei, for some reason.

Jian Yu saw Rong Zhen standing up with his hands covering his wounds, and his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, but he still said: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, you come with me."

Those assassins had already fought a fierce battle with Rong Zhen, not to mention being suddenly attacked by them, and by this time they had all been dealt with and fell to the ground.

Jian Yu did not even look at the assassins on the ground, but just ordered: "Check carefully, and make sure no one is left alive."

After the guards took the order and left, he led two horses over and motioned Rong Zhen and the others to follow him.

Jian Yu brought them to a manor outside Yanjing. The manor was very remote and there were not many farmers inside. Jian Yu explained: "I set up this secretly. The farmers inside are all my subordinates. It's very safe here."

Rong Zhen smiled lightly: "Thank you, Lord Jian for this time."

Jian Yu said coldly: "I am just loyal to the person who entrusted me. His Royal Highness the King of Chu has someone else to thank."

This was something Rong Zhen had not expected, but he still Before he could ask, Jian Yu had already ordered his servants to bring medicine, and then said to Rong Zhen: "There is no doctor here. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, I can only bandage it downstairs. I hope the King of Chu will not be offended."

Rong Zhen swallowed the words he was about to ask. Jian Yu avoided answering this, but no matter who the man was, since he saved him, he would meet him sooner or later. However, if he could convince Jian Yu, I am afraid that this man's identity is not simple.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and Lu Zheng happened to go with the servants to get food, and there was no one to break the silence.

In fact, the relationship between Jian Yu and Rong Zhen is indeed somewhat interesting. Rong Zhen is the youngest son of Emperor Wude, and the King of Wei is the younger brother of Emperor Wude, so Jian Yu should be considered Rong Zhen's cousin, but such a relationship is better than being a stranger to the two of them.

Fortunately, the servant who brought the medicine came back soon, and Jian Yu began to apply medicine to Rong Zhen. He was often injured in the past and often had to apply medicine himself, so his technique was very skilled. Although Rong Zhen's injury was serious, it was not a vital injury, so it was not serious after applying medicine and bandaging it for the time being.

After the medicine was applied, Jian Yu still did not leave. He asked Rong Zhen directly: "What will His Royal Highness the King of Chu do next?"

In Rong Zhen's plan, if he could escape, he would naturally find a way to contact Song Zhiyi and the others. At this time, Su Dai's army should have almost arrived in Yanjing. I don't know if Song Zhiyi has passed the news to him, but Su Dai has always been cautious and should not act rashly. As long as the gunpowder depot is destroyed, Rong Zhen will not worry about the Northern Frontier Army. If he can merge with the army, he will naturally be able to get back the principal and interest from the King of Wei.

But Rong Zhen couldn't say these things. Although Jian Yu saved them, he was the son of the King of Wei after all, which made Rong Zhen unable to completely put his mind at ease.

However, Jian Yu seemed to see what he was thinking, and suddenly said: "When the King of Wei besieged Yanjing, the letter for help had already been sent out. Now I'm afraid that several armies have already come to Yanjing, and the siege of Yanjing will be resolved within three days."

Rong Zhen was shocked. This was something he had never expected. After all, since the King of Wei had made all the preparations, even his Night Owl had been defeated, it was even more impossible for him to let other people send out the news. As soon as this thought flashed through Rong Zhen's mind, he understood: "There is a traitor?!" Seeing that Jian Yu did not refute, he asked again: "Who is it?"

Jian Yu shook his head: "Now is not the time. When the time is right, you will meet him."

When he said this, Rong Zhen understood that the person who asked Jian Yu to save him was probably the traitor. Since the other party said so, he naturally would not ask any more questions, but asked instead: "What is the situation in the palace now?"

Jian Yu smiled and said: "Your Highness the King of Chu wants to send the late emperor off?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing." Jian Yu was a little disappointed. He stood up and said, "I have done what I promised. Now please stay here for a while. When the siege of Yanjing is lifted, you can naturally join your army." After that, he bowed and walked out.

Lu Zheng thanked the servants and walked towards the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily with his food box. He just happened to run into Jian Yu who was leaving.

Lu Zheng pursed his lips, feeling a little unnatural.

Jian Yu was much calmer and asked directly: "Time was urgent, so I forgot to ask you, are you injured?"

"No." Lu Zheng answered quickly, but then he felt that his words seemed to be distancing himself from Jian Yu, and added, "They are all minor injuries, nothing serious."

Jian Yu looked at his expression. This face was familiar to him, but why did it become so strange now? Jian Yu suddenly remembered Lu Zheng who had clung to him like a sticky candy. In his memory, that face had become blurred, but he remembered the smile on that face that was like sunshine without any haze.

They were completely different people.

Jian Yu seemed to have truly realized this problem at this moment. Those things that he had never thought about in detail emerged in his mind one by one, and he finally let go of the last bit of obsession with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng looked at Jian Yu and breathed a sigh of relief as if he had let go of a heavy burden. Then he showed a polite and distant expression: "Since you are not in any serious trouble, I will also take my leave." Although

Lu Zheng didn't know what happened, Jian Yu's attitude also made him feel relieved and became much more natural: "No matter what, I still have to thank you this time."

Jian Yu's lips seemed to rise, and he whispered: "You're welcome, you saved me before, so we are even now."
