Tianhuang nobleman

In the prince's residence hall, Jiang Deqing put on the armor for Qi Xiao with red eyes, and kept telling him: "Your Highness must take care of yourself, and if you see the prince, please persuade him, don't really use a knife... "

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Eunuch, don't worry, I can't die, and neither can he."

There were tears in Jiang Deqing's dazed eyes, he shook his head and sighed: "I know, this old slave just hates... I hate that God has no eyes, and let His Highness and Shizi face each other with swords and swords. This... oh..."

Qi Xiao lowered his eyes and said nothing, Jiang Deqing wiped his eyes, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The emperor is too deceitful, he only gave His Highness 1000 people, and deliberately detained many of our people, now the pressure is tight, let us send troops immediately , Your Highness can mobilize another 800 people in total, this..."

Qi Xiao sneered: "700 people is enough."

Qi Xiao took the gluttonous golden helmet handed over by the maid, and asked in a low voice, "Is Shunzi back?"

Jiang Deqing shook his head: "No, I haven't seen him since the fire in the palace, probably...he left with the prince." Qi Xiao nodded: "Okay."

Qi Xiao put on his golden helmet, went out of the house and mounted his horse. Commanding more than a thousand soldiers, he went straight to the south.

When Bai Ren knew that Qi Xiao was chasing him, it was already five days later.

The emperor went down to the sea to catch the documents. To avoid trouble, Bai Ren and his party did not follow the official route, but kept looking for trails in the mountains and mountains. Fortunately, it was July, and everything was fine except for suffering from insects. It was day and night, and people were fighting for the ground outside, and when Bai Ren got out of the tent, he saw the flames outside, and the people who came came actually used rockets to burn more than half of the tent!

Shunzi's eyes turned red immediately, he drew his sword and was about to rush over, Bairen grabbed Shunzi, Shunzi looked back at Bairen, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

Bai Ren looked straight into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Look..."

Shunzi followed Bairen's eyes to look over, and saw the banner with the word "Xiao" flying in the flames, Shunzi was stunned for a moment, Cen Chaoge fell out of the tent and staggered to find it, desperately said: "Prince ! It’s the crown prince who came to take us!”

Bai Ren gritted his teeth, turned his head and yelled loudly for everyone to get out of the camp immediately, Cen Chaoge stepped forward and grabbed Bai Ren, and said in panic: "Bai Ren, we...don't we fight? Can we escape?"

Bai Ren said coldly: "Can you beat the prince?"

Cen Chaoge was speechless, Bai Ren pushed Cen Chaoge away, got on his horse and continued to shout, everyone had no choice but to abandon their tents and a lot of food and ran for their lives in a hurry.

In the next few days, it was like a year.

When he first saw Qi Xiao's soldiers, Bai Ren was actually relieved. He thought that Qi Xiao was here to help him, but that night, Qi Xiao first burned his tent with fire, and then Qi Xiao went to him overnight. Chased south for nearly 500 miles, when it was dawn, when Bai Ren thought he had finally escaped, he was ambushed by 100 elite soldiers that Qi Xiao had ambushed long ago. Zichong made a few trips. Fortunately, everyone had a unique way of contacting Lingnan. After traveling another [-] miles to the south, they were finally able to meet up.

Shunzi casually patted the dust on his body, and said in a low voice: "My son... the 100 people are not all dead, many of them have been washed away, and in the future...maybe we can come back again."

Bai Ren was also covered in dust, and he didn't care about beating him anymore. After being chased by Qi Xiao for many days, he didn't close his eyes for a while, and didn't drink a sip of water. No, he unscrewed the skin and drank heavily, and after a while he recovered, and said intermittently: "It's okay, even if there are only one soldier left, I will go back."

Shunzi felt uncomfortable when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "My lord, don't say that. Our horses are better than the prince's. As long as we don't get ambushed again, it's fine. Didn't you get a letter from the south? If we cross the southern border, we will die."

Bai Ren nodded, and repeated unconsciously: "After waiting for the southern border..."

Bai Ren raised his head to look at Shunzi, and said in silence for a while: "You... you can stay, you are His Highness's baby brother, he won't kill you, you... go back."

Shunzi was taken aback, lowered his eyes and shook his head, "Your Highness said, let me stay with Shizi all the time, I can't leave."

Shunzi thought of Qi Xiao's fierce pursuit and beating in the past few days, and he also felt that what he said just now was funny, and smiled wryly: "I really don't know... Your Highness will really do something to you."

Bai Ren tilted his head, shook his head and said: "He has his troubles, besides, I said this, from now on, whatever I do has nothing to do with him, the emperor asked him to chase me, what can he do?"

Shunzi hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "But I heard that... the crown prince himself asked for a job in front of the imperial court."

Bai Ren's heart felt like a knife was being cut, but he was still subconsciously covering up for Qi Xiao: "All civil and military officials in the court are watching him, what do you want him to do?!"

Shunzi was stunned, gave a wry smile, and couldn't help asking for a while, "What if... the crown prince catches up again, if swords and swords are facing each other, what is the crown prince's plan?"

Shunzi's every sentence was stabbed on Bairen's heart, and the knife saw blood.

Bai Ren didn't answer any more, stood up and beckoned everyone to get up and go on their way.Bai Ren made traps along the way, trying his best to delay the footsteps of Qi Xiao and his party. Five days later, they finally arrived at the Kuermo Wasteland.

When they saw this withered and yellow wasteland, everyone cried. A few elderly soldiers slipped off their horses and knelt on the ground holding the loess and cried loudly. They only needed to go a hundred miles south and walk a hundred miles. Even if they have crossed the southern border, as long as they cross the southern border and walk another three hundred miles, they will be Lingdu. There, everyone's relatives are waiting for them. As long as they pass by, the young and old in the family still have hope of being alive!

Everyone cheered loudly, embraced each other and cried loudly, Bai Ren turned his head to look north, and if he walked another hundred miles, he might... never see Qi Xiao again.

A year in Beijing is always a big dream.

Shunzi was not as excited as everyone else, he turned his head to look at Bairen, feeling uncomfortable for a while, rode his horse and approached, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, don't look at it."

"Shunzi..." Bairen's black eyes reflected the deserted skyline, and in the blurred skyline, slowly more menacing figures appeared, Bairen's voice became hoarse, "Look... what is that?" ..."

Shunzi was shocked, turned his head to look to the north, and lost his voice: "Prince!!"

Shunzi clenched her fists tightly and screamed in despair: "Why are you still chasing me?!"

Everyone was stunned, turned their heads to look to the north, and saw that at the other end of the desert, the flag with the word "Xiao" fluttered, and thousands of elite soldiers came slowly towards the south like hell Shura. He closed his eyes, raised his long knife and sternly shouted: "What are you shouting about?! You're not dead yet!!"

Bai Ren turned his horse's head and said sharply: "Now we have arrived at Kuermo, ahead! Less than five hundred miles ahead is our home! What are you afraid of?!"

The horse neighed, Bai Ren caressed the horse, and said loudly: "Now we can't escape! If we run away now, we will lead them to our home! My sons! Do you want to fight to the death! Or lead them to our home, Let them kill our parents! Wives and children!"

Everyone rushed here in fear all the way, thinking that they had finally escaped, but they didn't want to be chased by Qi Xiao again. Now that the enemy is in front, and their wives and children are behind, they are all aroused. Shouting in response, Bai Ren held up his long knife and said loudly: "Now we stand here! Stop here! Even if there is only one of us left, outsiders are not allowed to enter Lingdu!"

Everyone cheered loudly, Bai Ren turned his head to look at the slowly approaching soldiers, silently took off the life talisman around his neck, and threw it into the bag.

Qi Xiao looked coldly at the Lingnan people not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Stop!"

The commander of the imperial guards, He Hongluo, stepped forward, smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Qi Xiao ignored him, and He Hongluo said to himself: "Speaking of which, my subordinates really admire the prince's mind. Only by avoiding the ambush of the Lingren, we can catch up."

He Hongluo shook his head and smiled: "To be honest, when I first came out of Beijing, I thought His Highness would show favoritism, but looking at it now, it seems that this subordinate treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. , the subordinates really admire it!"

Qi Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at He Hongluo, sneered and said nothing, this person is the emperor's confidant, this time to chase and suppress, this person's assistance is fake, and the surveillance is real, Qi Xiao looked at the thousands of forbidden troops behind him, Looking at the seven hundred soldiers behind him, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Qi Xiao ignored him at all, but He Hongluo didn't care. He knew very well in his heart that as long as he took the white blade back, he would be considered a great achievement.

He Hongluo smiled: "They have lost soldiers and generals along the way, and there are only a few people left, who are vulnerable... Why don't bother the prince's personal guards, the prince is waiting here, waiting for his subordinates to command these 1000 people, How about taking their lives directly and capturing the prince alive?"

Qi Xiao raised his hand and swung it down violently, the flag-raising soldiers followed suit, and everyone echoed loudly, rushing towards the south like a runaway wild horse, He Hongluo took a step behind and sneered, he was still in a hurry to make a contribution ,What is the use!
