Chapter 409 Why did you save me?
Huo Yang could only waste more words to say this, but the forest behind him was filled with people moving around, all of them were ambushes.
King Rui came prepared. He threatened Jiang Hao with Song Wan'er's life and suppressed the rebellion with force.
Jiang Hao, as one of the generals responsible for guarding the West Mountain Hunting, has thousands of men on the periphery, but Prince Rui has already taken control of the palace and has recruited many of them for his own use. Now even the Ninth Prince Huo Yan, who can compete with him, is missing. These things happening at the same time is definitely not a coincidence. It means that Prince Rui has been secretly planning for a long time, and once he launches the attack, he will not give up until he achieves his goal.
If Jiang Hao fought with him at this moment, not only would he fail to save Song Wan'er's life, his chances of winning would be slim, and he would even be charged with treason by Huo Yang.
With Shao Feiyang as a precedent, Jiang Hao was extra cautious in his considerations.
"Don't worry, General. Your wife will be a guest in this palace. Once we find our father, you will have accomplished another great deed. It won't be a problem for you to be awarded a title of nobility."
Huo Yang knew that Jiang Hao was the best at weighing the pros and cons, so he threw out the bait of "being granted a title of nobility" afterwards.
Jiang Hao always knew that he was despicable and shameless, but he didn't expect Huo Yang to be even more despicable and shameless than him.
I don’t know how Song Wan’er ended up in Huo Yang’s hands.
He sent Liu Yi and the guards to secretly escort her to Xizhou. During these days, only Liu the housekeeper wrote two letters to report that she was safe. Jiang Hao thought that Song Wan'er had forgotten him completely after going to Xizhou and was unwilling to come back.
As a result, she was captured by King Rui's men before she even reached Xizhou.
Song Wan'er is so delicate and pampered. She has been secretly guarded by Huo Yang these days. I'm afraid she is so angry that she is going to get sick.
Jiang Hao thought of this and suppressed the urge to stab Huo Yang to death. He dismounted with his lieutenants and came to the carriage window. He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Now everyone relies on me to preside over the overall situation. We will naturally obey your orders."
"Okay." Huo Yang saw Jiang Hao consider it for a moment and then make a decision that satisfied him. A smile appeared on his lips and he lowered his voice and said, "He who knows the current situation is a hero."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Jiang Hao's face was expressionless. "It's snowing heavily. The most important thing right now is to find the Emperor and the Ninth Prince immediately."
"Let's go." Huo Yang immediately put on a worried expression. "Father, my ninth brother, and the Princess of Xiling are all missing. I suspect this is a conspiracy by the people of Xiling. I will immediately lead people to search the mountain. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we will find them."
Jiang Hao replied "yes" and led his men to follow King Rui to search the mountain for people.
He wanted to see how despicable and shameless Huo Yang could be.
And the other side.
Shao Feiyang broke out of the encirclement alone on horseback, and was chased by the soldiers led by the generals who defected to King Rui. He galloped on his horse through the snow-covered mountains and forests.
Hundreds of archers stood on high ground, aiming at Shao Feiyang alone.
Shao Feiyang waved the sword in his hand to block the deadly arrows, but the horse he was riding could not escape the disaster.
After the horse was shot dead, Shao Feiyang was thrown out on the spot and was hit by two arrows in the chaos.
Fortunately, it got dark soon.
Shao Feiyang hid his tracks under the cover of night and sneaked through the mountains and forests.
There are countless pursuers behind.
Shao Feiyang climbed over half a mountain in the dark. He was so badly injured that he was almost exhausted. He gritted his teeth and tried to pull out the arrow that had pierced his left shoulder. The arrowhead blew his flesh and blood, and blood splattered on the snow.
He endured the severe pain and pulled out the second arrow.
"Without medicine or medical treatment, how can I pull it out alive?"
Ye Ninglan's voice suddenly came from behind the tree.
When Shao Feiyang looked up, he saw Princess Xiling walking out from the bushes. She was dressed in white and was almost invisible in the snow.
So much so that before she spoke, Shao Feiyang had no idea where she was coming from.
"Ye Ninglan!" Shao Feiyang gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you here?"
Ye Ninglan did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"
Shao Feiyang had no time to guess, "You are here, so where is the emperor now?"
"You'd better save your own life before worrying about anything else."
Ye Ninglan stepped forward and extended his hand towards Shao Feiyang.
Shao Feiyang saw that she was coming at him aggressively, as if she was going to take the opportunity to kill her husband. He raised his palm and slapped her. However, Ye Ninglan dodged sideways as if he had expected it. Then he pulled out the arrow that was deeply embedded in his waist and threw him a bottle of medicine. "If you don't want to die here, get up and follow me."
"You..." Shao Feiyang didn't expect Ye Ninglan to come to save him, "Why did you save me?"
There was such a big civil strife in Daxing, the emperor's life and death were unknown, and the ninth prince was missing. This was a great opportunity for Ye Ninglan to escape from Daxing.
Prince Rui Huo Yang said that the emperor's danger was a conspiracy of Princess Xiling. Shao Feiyang didn't believe it because he had lived under the same roof with Ye Ninglan for three years and knew a little about her character.
Ye Ninglan is good at calculating people's hearts and knows how to stir up trouble in the court, but she is unwilling to let the people suffer.
It's funny that a notorious princess has a heart for her country and her people.
Shao Feiyang knew that Ye Ninglan would not do such a thing as assassinating the Emperor of Daxing, but even he didn't understand why Ye Ninglan didn't leave such a great opportunity and instead showed up to save him.
"I happened to be passing by here and saw a poor wretch being hunted. I thought it was quite interesting, so I stopped by to take a look." Ye Ninglan leaned over and looked at Shao Feiyang. "How would I know it was you?"
"you……"
Shao Feiyang was just about to accuse her of lying when the wound hurt so much that he couldn't speak.
"Okay, stop asking questions here. I don't have time to answer so many of your questions." Ye Ninglan looked up at the soldiers who were chasing them and asked Shao Feiyang, "Can you still stand up? If you can't stand up——"
Shao Feiyang opened the medicine bottle and poured the medicine on the wound, then tore open his clothes to bandage the wound. He was a man who had been on the battlefield, so he quickly treated his wound and stood up. "Those people will catch up soon, let's go!"
Ye Ninglan turned around and grabbed Shao Feiyang's hand, "Follow me."
The pursuers behind soon caught up. Ye Ninglan and Shao Feiyang used their lightness skills to jump over the treetops, climb over half the mountain, and come to an abandoned wooden house.
It looked like a place where hunters had lived. The house had collapsed and was dilapidated. Shao Feiyang didn't know why Ye Ninglan brought him to such a place.
Until Ye Ninglan brought him to the dry well and said to him, "Jump in."
Shao Feiyang glanced at Ye Ninglan and jumped down. The dry well was dark and there was an unpleasant smell of decay.
Ye Ninglan then jumped down and after clearing away the pile of debris at the bottom of the well, a hole suddenly appeared in front of Shao Feiyang.
Ye Ninglan said to him, "Go in."
Shao Feiyang went in without saying a word. After entering, he discovered that there was a different world in this dry well.
Ye Ninglan covered the cave entrance again and went in.
The cave was dark, so she took out a tinder to light it. Shao Feiyang looked forward and suddenly saw the mad emperor that everyone outside was looking for lying on a pile of straw...
"Why is the emperor here?" Shao Feiyang turned to look at Ye Ninglan, "Could it be that you are the one who caused today's incident..."
