It was already the second half of the night, the sparse stars were dim and the bright moon had disappeared.
Under the deep night, a convoy of cars is still rushing on the road.
The road was difficult to travel at night, but there were not many torches lit in the caravan, only in the front, middle and back sections. The cavalry leading the way did not dare to walk too fast. The carriages and horses behind carried a lot of gold, silver and valuables, which were all the items they could take away when hurriedly fleeing from Nanze, and they must not be lost in the next journey.
The road ahead is still very long, and we will need to take a detour, which will take about a month. If we can successfully reach Guanhe, we can then take the water route westward. It is almost early summer, and even if we reach the northern border, although the climate there is colder than in Nanze, there will be no floating ice in the river at this time.
In this way, if everything goes well, we can really travel west from Guanhe River, and when we go ashore again after a few months, we will have left Daqian. After all, the other side of Guanhe River is the territory of Tuyuan Kingdom.
In the carriage, Prince Qing leaned back with his eyes closed in deep thought.
This journey is too bumpy. There are only more than a thousand people around us now, and we have to carry all these gold, silver and treasures. We have to travel by land for a month, and get a boat to travel west after arriving at Guanhe. It is really not easy.
During this period, one must always be on guard against the pursuit of the rebels. Fortunately, he is very familiar with the road ahead. After all, he fought in many places when he was young and left many footprints on this land.
Now that the rebels are still attacking the city, I think Nan Ze can't hold on for much longer. It would be a good idea to leave Nan Ze immediately during this time.
Thinking of this, Prince Qing opened the curtain and looked out. The night was very dark, and apart from the sound of carriages and horses, the only sound was the chirping of insects.
At least, the area we are in now is still safe. Even if Nan Ze is defeated within a few days, the rebels will not be able to chase here immediately.
When Nan Ze City was broken, the rebel would definitely go to the imperial city, where soldiers and kerosene had been left. If the rebel went to the imperial city, a big fire would start, and even if it didn't kill him, he would get nothing.
As for that stupid woman, whether she died in the fire or at the hands of the rebels, it was all her own fault. This stupid thing actually killed her only remaining son. Damn it!
Thinking of this, Prince Qing snorted coldly and clenched his fists.
Now he has no one to rely on and the road ahead is unknown. Even if he really overcomes all difficulties and goes to Tuyuan Kingdom, it will probably be extremely difficult. But even so, he must not die at the hands of the traitor.
If you go to Tuyuan Country, there will always be opportunities!
"Even if you overthrow us, we will never let you be the emperor in peace."
"You have offended the foreigners. I will then encourage the Yuan Dynasty to send troops. I don't think you can live in peace as the emperor." Prince Qing muttered to himself with resentment in his eyes. He no longer wanted the chance to take control of the country again. After all, at this point, there was no possibility at all.
But if you can't get it, then just destroy it completely!
After a while of being angry, Prince Qing thought about what to do next. He became more and more worried. He was also quite sleepy after the bumpy ride. Although he tried hard not to fall asleep, it was still unbearable.
Before he knew it, he leaned back in the carriage and slowly dozed off.
until--
"Ouch!"
He suddenly opened his eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.
After taking a few deep breaths, he pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside, but there was still only the sound of carriages and horses.
But just now, he seemed to hear a wolf howl.
"Is anyone chasing us?" he asked.
"No, Your Majesty, everything is normal." A soldier's reply came from outside the car.
Prince Qing rubbed his bloodshot eyes.
"Where are we now?"
"We are almost at Cangwu Mountain, Your Majesty. We are already quite far from Nanze."
Prince Qing raised his eyebrows: "So slow?"
The soldier replied, "If we were leaving from Guiyun City, we should have passed Cangwu Mountain by now, but Your Majesty said we should go around Guiyun City, and the road is difficult to travel at night, so we are a little slower."
Hearing this, Prince Qing leaned back and stopped asking questions.
Guiyun City is the main city of the barbarians. There has been no news since Jin Pingwu went to the barbarians. The barbarians are either unwilling to send troops or are delaying the opportunity to fight, trying to change their stance according to the situation. In this case, of course, we cannot take the risk and take the road to Guiyun City.
Cangwu Mountain is not too far from Guiyun City. It is also a barbarian territory. Although there are some risks, the biggest risk must come from the rebels. The farther away from them, the better. Therefore, this is the only choice after making a choice.
After listening quietly for a while and hearing no more noise from outside, Prince Qing shook his head.
'After more than 20 years of military service, I only wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life in the second half of my life. Now I am alone in my old age and have to flee my homeland in such a miserable way...'
Prince Qing had a grim look on his face. Alone in the carriage in the dead of night, he finally put his hand on his face, trying hard not to cry.
I don't know how long it was before the muffled murmurs sounded again.
"In the first place, I shouldn't have allowed her to sit on the throne."
He put his hand down, regret evident on his face.
He knew that if he had ascended the throne at the beginning, things would never have turned out like this. He did not want to be the emperor at the beginning, not that he could not do it. Although ascending the throne would give him power over the world, there were too many things to worry about.
After more than twenty years of military service, he just wanted to live the rest of his life in peace. After all, the world was at peace now, and being an emperor was not as peaceful and comfortable as being a prince.
At that time, his younger brother, Prince Qianjin, was seriously ill. Among the three siblings, he had no choice but to nominate Jin Fengluan to ascend the throne. It was fine for her to be the emperor, after all, she was not very smart.
When she became the emperor, she still needed to be consulted on important state affairs. In this way, although she was a prince, she was also an emperor, but she was much more free than the emperor.
But after all, the changes that the throne brings to people are still too great.
In the first two years after he ascended the throne, she listened to him and did what he said, but later she became stubborn and self-willed. He didn't want to worry about everything. After all, the world was peaceful and there was no way she would say anything wrong.
only......
"Ugh."
Prince Qing sighed.
He should have been the emperor himself and personally managed the government for a few years. It would have been better to treat the Qin family in a gentle way and remove their military power.
In this case, passing the throne to Jianren in the future should be a good choice.
Jianren has great ambitions, but he is also ambitious. He is a man who can expand territory. Jiande does not value the throne too much, but he is smart and talented. The two brothers complement each other. If they work together, they will definitely be able to take Daqian to a higher level in the future.
As for Jianzhong, it's good enough if he doesn't cause trouble. However, Yongning's role should be much greater than his. She can marry into the barbarian tribe and gradually assimilate them in the future. Although the barbarians are brave and fierce, it would be a good thing if they can be used for their own purposes.
In this way, the Daqian Empire should have a chance to last for thousands of years.
"What a pity.....there is nothing left."
All three sons died, his daughter even turned against him, and the country had completely fallen into the hands of others.
Prince Qing laughed at himself, but this mocking smile soon turned into great sorrow.
He held his face, shaking uncontrollably.
Finally, he burst into tears silently.
At this time, the cavalry leading the way stopped their horses.
