Chapter 1071 I will fight with you!
The horses were galloping, giving them a feeling of speeding.
As the surrounding scenery moved rapidly backwards, Zhu Xuan's pursuers caught up behind him.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Where are we going?"
“…”
Ye Zheng did not speak immediately. Instead, he frowned, wrapped one hand tightly around her waist, and shook the reins with the other, constantly whipping the horse under him to gallop forward.
His eyes were deep, as if he was still thinking about something.
However, the person behind him could no longer hold back and asked, "Master Ye, where are we going now?"
“…”
Ye Zheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said loudly, "Of course we are going to meet up with the Emperor!"
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Meet the emperor?
But--
Her mind was a little confused for a moment, and the horse was galloping and shaking her constantly, so the weak ideas in her mind could not form at all. But the people who were chasing closely behind her, Zhu Xuan and his palace guards, all showed solemn expressions on their faces after hearing Ye Zheng's words.
emperor?
Do they know the whereabouts of the emperor?
Zhu Xuan immediately winked at Shi Yiru and the others behind him. Shi Yiru accepted the order and immediately gave the order.
Soon, trumpets sounded everywhere in the city.
At this time, it was just dawn, and coupled with the fact that people from Prince Ning's Mansion had recently been controlling the city, there were not many people on the streets and it was very quiet. The sudden sound of the horn woke up the entire Changqing City.
This is--
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately understood that they were going to mobilize troops!
Moreover, soon after the horn sounded, the sound of horse hooves and the heavy footsteps of running soldiers could be heard everywhere. They came from all directions and all gathered towards this place.
It's not just to track them down.
If they were just tracking Ye Zheng and his men, sending a few dozen or a hundred more soldiers would be enough. However, if he was going to meet up with the emperor, who had three or four hundred soldiers around him - they had already calculated that these people were definitely not enough.
In addition, Zhu Feng is a good commander of troops. Under his command, a team of a hundred people can fight against a team of a thousand people, so this time, more people must be sent over.
Seeing the smoke and dust rising all around, and countless soldiers and horses surrounding them in the streets and alleys, Ye Zheng's face became serious, and even a murderous look appeared in his eyes. He loosened the hand that was around Ran Xiaoyu's waist, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Hold on to me!"
"Um!"
This time, Ran Xiaoyu no longer argued with him.
At this point, she also realized that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly grabbed his collar with one hand and held his arm with the other.
Ye Zheng held the reins tightly with both hands. Seeing a group of people and horses suddenly rushing out on the road ahead, he immediately pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to the left. There was actually a narrow alley here. The horse neighed and rushed straight into it.
The people behind him immediately followed.
Seeing this, the other people who were tracking had no choice but to stop and immediately turn their horses around to catch up.
Suddenly, Ye Zheng started a street fight with them in the city.
In the past, he always had a playful and cynical look on his face, and Ran Xiaoyu always thought that he was good for nothing except talking big. But it was the first time she saw such a solemn expression on his face, as he rode his horse at full speed, so nimbly that it seemed as if he was running in these narrow alleys, completely unrestricted by any obstacles.
He... is so awesome!
In an instant, he had left behind several groups of people and horses, watching those people collide with each other and fall to the ground in embarrassment. If it were usual, Ye Zheng would definitely brag about it proudly, but this time, he didn't even look at them, but just continued to ride his horse forward.
However, the more he walked, the more Ran Xiaoyu felt a vague worry in her heart.
At this time, the chest close to her back also broke out in a thin layer of sweat, which rose up bit by bit as she panted. Although her outer wedding dress had been thrown away and she was only wearing a tight long skirt, she did not feel cold at all.
She simply said, "Ye Zheng, are we really going to reunite with the Emperor?"
“…”
The person behind him took a deep breath.
There was another sharp turn, and both of them tilted slightly on horseback, but Ye Zheng held her tightly with both hands and held her in his arms.
The horse's hooves clattered as it turned into another alley.
Ye Zheng's voice sounded low in his ear: "No."
“……!”
Ran Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat.
really.
Because, as soon as she left Prince Ning's Mansion, she discovered that they were heading towards the east of the city. The first time Zhu Xuan's men came to report, they said that they had discovered the emperor's whereabouts near the city gate in the east of the city. That time, it was obviously a false illusion created by Ye Zheng to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
But now, they are heading east.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "What's going on?"
Ye Zheng lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, in the west of the city."
"What?"
Ran Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that the second time someone came to report the whereabouts of Emperor Ning, they said that the emperor was in the west of the city, and that he was accompanied by a concubine and a princess.
Could it be that——
Ye Zheng said, "I didn't send anyone to the west of the city to create a false impression."
“…”
"The second intelligence may be true."
“…”
"The Emperor might really be in the west of the city right now."
"Then we—"
Ye Zheng said, "Prince Ning has sent so many people, and as far as I know, the emperor doesn't have many people around him. If Prince Ning really finds him, it would be hard to predict whether he will be good or bad. I can't let the emperor fall into such danger."
“……!”
Ran Xiaoyu understood immediately.
So, he just deliberately said it so loudly, saying that he was going to meet up with the emperor. In fact, he was leading the people from Prince Ning's Mansion to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Moreover, they caused such a big commotion in the city that the real emperor must have known what happened here.
They can leave the city smoothly!
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but look back at him.
The two people looked at each other at such a close distance. Although they didn't say a word, thousands of words were conveyed in their eyes.
Ye Zheng said softly: "We may have to take a little risk."
“…”
"But don't worry, I-I will definitely protect you!"
As he said this, he retracted the hand holding the reins and tightly wrapped it around Ran Xiaoyu's slender waist, as if to assure her.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu took a deep breath.
She reached out and placed her hand on the back of his hand.
"I have long made up my mind to protect the Concubine and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
“…”
"If I can get them out of the city safely, I'm willing!"
“…”
"I'll fight with you!"
