If we can find His Majesty before King Chen and kill that troublesome old man, this situation will be even more interesting.
…
The Southern Emperor left the Lu Mansion and did not stay long. He got on the car and went back to Taichu Palace in a grand manner. Unexpectedly, dark clouds covered the moon and something unexpected happened!
The way forward was blocked, and the guards returned to the palace and encountered the enemy. The enemy jumped out from the streets on both sides and rushed towards the emperor's guards. The captain of the guards shouted loudly, but the enemy ignored him and started killing people directly!
"Ah——" The screams continued!
Northerners: "Catch that dog emperor, don't let him run away!"
The old emperor panicked and got off the car in a hurry. The eunuchs protected him and he fled. On the way, the escorting eunuchs kept dying. He hid in an alley, and finally a eunuch fell to the ground and died. The footsteps of the people chasing him kept coming. The old emperor's hands were shaking violently with fear. He didn't care about the dignity of the emperor. He panted with every step and sweated profusely. But a woman's cry for help came from behind: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Wait for me..."
The old emperor at least remembered his concubine who was born a princess from the northern country. He was in trouble, but he slowed down his pace. The old man held the wall with one hand and carefully called out to the back with the other hand: "Come here...ah you!"
His beautiful, young consort came over. Not only did she come over, she also led the way, her sleeves fluttering like clouds, and behind her, a large number of northern troops were led by her to meet the emperor of the southern kingdom.
The Southern Emperor was horrified and turned to run. Behind him, a young man in a gray martial robe jumped down from the wall! The young man was as mighty as a tiger descending from the mountain. He swung his sword down like splitting mountains and rivers, with great momentum, cutting off the old emperor's escape route.
The sword in his hand was across the old emperor's neck.
Yue Zi said coldly: "Follow me."
He waved his arm, and the army behind him followed, escorting him out of the city and taking the old man away. The Southern Emperor was easily caught, making the world laugh. The old man's face turned purple, and he was dragged by the young man, thrown around like a sack. He cursed: "Bitch! You bastard! I actually believed you, a bastard..."
The Princess of the Northern Kingdom listened indifferently to the old emperor's voice gradually moving away from her and sneered.
Just an old man...
She turned around, but suddenly her eyes fixed, and the blood in her body froze. Because in the alley behind her, under the faint blue night light, Lu Yun was standing there.
The Princess of the Northern Kingdom trembled: "You...see His Majesty..."
Lu Yun: "What, Your Majesty? I haven't seen her. Come, capture this princess! Send someone to Taichu Palace to ask why this princess hasn't returned yet, and why Your Majesty is not with this princess."
Princess of the Northern Kingdom: “…”
After a moment of confusion, she finally reacted. Lu Sanlang was not in a hurry to save the emperor, or rather... he wished the emperor was dead. He was in a hurry to find a scapegoat for what happened tonight.
…
Lu Yun successfully bought time for the enemy to take the old emperor away. Yue Zihan and the refugees rushed to the city gate. They fought at the city gate, and after half of them were killed or injured, they took the dazed old emperor out of the city.
The old emperor roared: "Let me go! Someone, save me——"
The cold wind howled, chilling the heart. The huge Jianye City was on fire and war was raging everywhere, but no one came to save His Majesty. The old emperor gradually became sad and was taken out of the city by Yue Zihan. He knew that his hope was getting lower and lower.
I'm afraid he will become a disgrace to the South.
Suddenly, the earth and sky shook from far away and came closer. Yue Zihan and other northern soldiers who had captured the old emperor and escaped from the city looked up and saw an army coming from afar, with iron horses galloping across the river, as vast as starlight falling to the ground.
Yue Zihan's eyes gradually became darker and he held the old emperor's hand tightly.
The old emperor’s eyes were blurry, but he tried to defend himself. He immediately said excitedly: “It’s my Southern Army, it’s my Southern Country…!”
The two armies met each other in a hurry. The old emperor recognized the general leading the troops. The young man was very imposing. He was riding on a horse and looking down. It was Liu Mu, the Prince of Hengyang.
The two brothers looked at each other, one was old and weak, while the other was still young.
As if time had passed, the dilemma faced by the previous emperor once again appeared before his eyes: when choosing the throne, should he choose his eldest son who had the support of the nobles and wealthy families, or his favorite youngest son?
…
After many years, when the youngest son was repeatedly harmed by his elder brother, would he save his brother or would he just stand by and watch? When even the old emperor's own son was plotting against the old emperor, what would Hengyang Wang Liu Mu choose?
The old emperor was filled with despair!
Chapter 141
It was a cold and icy night, with thick fog and frost floating like water. A civil war was raging in the city, and outside the city, the King of Hengyang led his troops out of the fog and met Yue Zihan and his entourage who were escorting the old emperor out of the capital.
Liu Mu was shocked for a moment and then quickly calmed down. He saw that something had changed in Jianye City, and his imperial brother had become a trophy. Yue Zihan and others suddenly drew their swords and guarded the Southern Emperor at the rear. Yue Zihan stood at the front, his muscles tensed, staring at the mighty prince riding on the horse opposite.
Liu Mu also brought soldiers with him, but he could not bring back thousands of troops. The court only allowed him to bring his own confidants, and Liu Mu had dozens of confidants, including Mr. Kong, a retainer who was sitting in a carriage and panting behind him.
There were also dozens of people holding the emperor hostage. They had the guts to take the emperor away from Jianye. In addition to having an insider, these people must also have extremely high martial arts skills. In the end, if Liu Mu wanted to save the emperor, he would have to sacrifice himself.
Prince Hengyang quickly assessed the situation and then met the eyes of the emperor with messy hair and a white beard. For a moment, the two brothers, who were almost a generation apart in age, felt a sense of desolation.
The old emperor's face turned pale, and he was embarrassed, ashamed, and angry. However, Yue Zihan grabbed his throat, and the old emperor was shrouded in the shadow of death. He desperately sent out a distress signal: "Save me! Save me quickly - they are the rebels from the North Country, don't let them succeed!"
"If the emperor of the Southern Kingdom is taken captive to the Northern Kingdom, how will our Southern Kingdom still be able to maintain its dignity?"
