Young Emperor, he doesn't want to be reborn

679

Chu Huaijin had a good night's dream, and set off with everyone for Beijun the next morning.

Same as when he greeted them, today Xue Yingchuan still led the officials and clan from Dongjun to see them off.

Not only that, this King Pingdong also prepared food, grass and water bags for his group for the next ten days, and even asked the chef of the palace to make eight dishes of seafood for Chu Huaijin early in the morning, and put them in a huge wooden box. In the food box.

Xue Yingchuan asked the attendant to put the four-layer wooden box on the carriage, and said apologetically, "It's a pity that it's late autumn, and there is not much ice left in my treasury, otherwise, Prince Ze, you can bring some fresh food on the road." .”

With Xue Yingchuan's warm and hospitable host appearance, even if Chu Huaijin doesn't want to see him because of things in his previous life, he still has to make his posture equally beautiful, "Your Majesty Xue is so polite. His loyalty to the imperial court will be guaranteed when I return to Beijing." All will be reported to the Holy One.”

Hearing this, Xue Yingchuan laughed and said, "Haha, then Xue will thank you for your kind words."

Afterwards, King Pingdong exchanged a few words with Feng Yanzhou, and then watched the mighty team of imperial envoys leave Yuancheng.

Chu Huaijin originally imagined that he was riding a horse when he came here, but when he thought of the big wooden box Xue Yingchuan sent, he got into the carriage instead, and spread out the four-layer boxes one by one. After that, he fell into deep thought. .

...According to the plots in TV dramas and novels, shouldn't Xue Yingchuan give this imperial envoy gold and silver notes to bribe him?

Why is there really seafood in this seafood food box in Pingdong Palace?

Was it because he was thinking too much, or was this group of Daning vassals stinging one by one? !

However, Xue Yingchuan was a stingy man, and the eight dishes he prepared were all his favorites during the past few days in Dongjun, obviously he had put his heart into it.

Chu Huaijin wasn't really the money of Xue Gou thief, so he immediately turned his mind to eating.

Feng Yanzhou also got into the carriage, peeled the shrimp for him after washing his hands, and said, "Beijun doesn't produce seafood, but it is said that the ginseng and rice grains there are not bad, and they can make Dingbei King Guo Shengshan feel good." Prepare some to take away for you."

...Then he didn't really use public funds to eat and drink, plus he asked for cards along the way?

Chu Huaijin was about to say "No need", Feng Yanzhou had already put the peeled fresh and tender shrimp into a small bowl, and said, "Huaijin eat it quickly, it's not easy to heat up on the way when it's cold."

So, Chu Huaijin ate a full stomach of shrimp, crab and abalone while it was hot, and added half a pot of ginger syrup. Sit on the rocks and watch others eat.

Feng Yanzhou also had lunch with more than ten of his personal guards, but unlike the imperial envoy, they ate the dry food bought in Yuan City yesterday, not the food prepared by Xue Yingchuan.

Liu Liang ate a whole piece of soft cake with pickles, drank a few mouthfuls of water from the water bag, wiped the corners of his mouth with a square towel, and said to Chu Huaijin as if sighing: "I see, it's still King Pingdong is the most loyal and courteous to the court, no matter who he is to, he is always so humble."

Eunuch Liu was obviously accusing Feng Yanzhou of insinuating, Chu Huaijin said in his heart, "That's not the time for Xue Yingchuan to carry the flag of rebellion", but he just smiled and didn't say that.

The Prince Regent Feng who was at the side was taken aback when he heard the words, and his face changed drastically after a while, "No!"

"What's wrong?" Chu Huaijin and Liu Liang looked at him and asked in unison.

"It doesn't matter what Xue Yingchuan is in normal times, but in front of you imperial envoys, he should avoid suspicion with me, the King of Zhennan, so as not to arouse the imperial court's suspicion of the East and South Counties." Feng Yanzhou frowned. Suo, said in a deep voice: "How could he call me brothers and sisters, and even propose marriage?!"

"This..." Chu Huaijin was still a little out of her wits.

"Could it be..." Liu Liang, the spirit of humanity, changed his expression in an instant, "King Pingdong's intentions are wrong?!"

Feng Yanzhou gritted his teeth and continued: "And... I'm afraid that he has no plan to let you imperial envoys return to Beijing alive!"

"No, it's impossible...how could Xue Yingchuan be so bold?!" Eunuch Liu said "impossible", but his uncontrollable, slightly trembling hands had fully exposed the fear in his heart at the moment.

On the contrary, Feng Yanzhou regained his composure. Although his expression was displeased, there was no trace of panic.

While pulling Chu Huaijin up from the rock, he said to Liu Liang, "Whether it's true or not, it's better for us to leave East County as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Eunuch Liu nodded fiercely, then turned his head and told the accompanying guards to pack up their things quickly and set off on the road immediately.

However, these guards from Cong Jing were ordered to get up and pack their bags, but they collapsed to the ground one by one. Even Liu Liang lost his strength and could only sit there limply with horror on his face.

Only the people in the Zhennan Palace who ate separately from them at noon and had never touched the food prepared by Xue Yingchuan were still safe and sound.

"Why..." Chu Huaijin was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Xue Yingchuan poisoned the food?!"

Could it be that the Regent Feng capsized in the sewer this time, and they were going to be wiped out by Xue Gou's backhand, right? !

"I was careless, and I was tricked by him." Feng Yanzhou said, and hugged Chu Huaijin into his precious horse, Fengyao.

As soon as he got on his horse, he no longer cared about Liu Liang and the others who were lying on the ground immobile, but shouted to the seventeen accompanying guards, "Go back to Nanjun!"

The personal guards of Prince Regent Feng are all experienced fighters. Although the incident happened suddenly, they are all riding on the horse calmly and ready to go.

After receiving Feng Yanzhou's order, they immediately changed their formation, guarding Feng Yanzhou and Chu Huaijin, and wanted to change their route and return to Nanjun.

However, as soon as they set off on the road, a cavalry chased them from the direction of Yuancheng. The team was as far as the eye could see, and there were at least 300 people.

And just looking at their uniform and prohibited actions, one should know that this is an elite force under King Pingdong.

When the team of cavalry was still some distance away from Chu Huaijin and the others, they divided into three small teams, obviously intending to outflank and attack their group of prey from multiple directions.

"Go to Beijun!" Feng Yanzhou made a decisive decision and ordered to turn around again to the only north that has not been intercepted by the pursuers.

While beating the horse and raising his whip, he urged Feng Yao under his crotch to speed up, while he did not forget to lower his head to comfort Chu Huaijin, "Don't be afraid, Huaijin, even if I die, I will keep you safe."

Chu Huaijin had lived three lifetimes, and only when she encountered an assassin in the paddock a few years ago did she encounter such a dangerous situation of being hunted down.

But at this time, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is on the territory of the deadly enemy, which is obviously more dangerous than before.

But just like when he was tightly protected by Feng Yanzhou in his arms at that time, sitting in front of Feng Yanzhou today, feeling the warm embrace and steady and strong heartbeat of the other party, his panic and anxiety gradually faded away. subsided.

At this time, in Chu Huaijin's heart, there was only firmness and faith left, just like the young Emperor Chu in the early years of his previous life, who firmly believed in his regent.

"I believe you." Chu Huaijin nodded, bit her lips, and whispered a little shyly, "You should be well too. We're going back to Nanjun together."

"Okay!" Feng Yanzhou hugged Chu Huaijin even tighter, "Let's go back to Nanjun together!"

782

Afterwards, Feng Yanzhou led Chu Huaijin towards Beijun and galloped for seven days.

Although Feng Yanzhou's personal guards on this trip were all top-notch players in Nanjun, and he himself was unparalleled in riding, archery and swordsmanship, and the horses they rode were all rare horses.

However, these outsiders, after all, are not as familiar with the terrain and roads as the people of Dongjun. During these seven days, they encountered chasing soldiers many times.

Although Feng Yanzhou was able to command everyone to break through the siege every time, among the seventeen personal guards of the Zhennan Palace, there is only one person left who is still closely following Feng and Chu.

That person was just like Feng Yanzhou, his body was already covered with scars.

The last guard of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion took out the blood-stained map in his arms to look at it, and said to Feng Yanzhou: "My lord, after passing through the forest in front, it should be the boundary of the East County. We should It will arrive in time."

Feng Yanzhou nodded, and then smiled at Chu Huaijin who was looking at him worriedly, "Guo Shengshan knew we were going to North County, so he must have sent someone to meet him at the junction of East and North County, just wait there Yes. This is good news, Huai Jin also smiled."

Chu Huaijin wanted to laugh, but the wound across Feng Yanzhou's chest prevented him from laughing.

That was the injury Feng Yanzhou had suffered to protect him when they fought against Dongjun's pursuers last night.Due to the lack of medicine, although the wound has been tied up with clothes, which can barely slow down the injury, bright red blood is still overflowing from the wound.

Seeing that Chu Huaijin still had a mournful face, Feng Yanzhou first sighed, then leaned over to his ear as if laughing at himself, and said, "Little ancestor, think about it, I think I have a high opinion of myself, but in the end Isn’t it ridiculous to be pecked by the defeated general in the previous life instead of being successful in hunting birds?”

Apart from worrying about this person's injury, Chu Huaijin had already started complaining in her heart. Before being the Great Regent, she said in high spirits that she wanted to kill Xue Gou thief, but now she was chased away and fled around. It really was a fierce operation. Look at the situation, zero to five.

Now that Feng Yanzhou said it himself, he couldn't hold it back and laughed, "You know it, and you're still bragging to me!"

Feng Yanzhou was not annoyed, instead he pretended to sigh and said, "Who knew that the boat could turn over in the gutter."

After Feng Yanzhou finished speaking, they also drank water and rested for a while, and then the three of them re-mounted their horses, intending to gallop to Beijun in one breath.

783

However, less than ten miles away from the junction of the East and North counties, they were once again overtaken by pursuers.

Chu Huaijin, who was the leader of the Dongjun general, had met in Yuancheng before. It is said that he was called "Wu Kui" or something, and he was Xue Yingchuan's confidant subordinate who brought him wherever he went.

"Prince Ze, Prince Feng, my lord is here to invite you." Wu Kui laughed loudly at Feng and Chu, "Eunuch Liu Liang and your personal guards, Prince Feng, are already waiting for you in Yuancheng." What, don't you two want to meet up with your subordinates?"

Feng Yanzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you, your lord, for your concern. But we have disturbed Gui County for a long time, so let's forget it. As for my personal guards in South County, I will trouble your lord to keep them for a few more days, and I will come to ask for it later." want."

"It's up to you!" Wu Kui sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the Dongjun soldiers who came with him surrounded Chu Huaijin and the others.

The last guard who remained beside Feng and Chu pulled out his sword, and while resisting the pursuers with all his strength, he shouted to Feng Yanzhou, "My lord, hurry up, I'll kill you!"

Feng Yanzhou hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, held a sword in one hand, and hugged Chu Huaijin in front of him with the other forcefully, driving Feng Yao towards the loosest encirclement.

Maybe it was Xue Yingchuan who ordered them to be captured before, or maybe it was Feng Yanzhou who was really brave and good at fighting, unparalleled in the world.

He single-handedly fought a hundred with one against a hundred. In the midst of flying blood and killing noises, he managed to kill a bloody path, led Chu Huaijin to gallop, and rushed out.

When night fell and the stars fell, they were already very close to Beijun. Chu Huaijin could even faintly see the boundary markers of Beijun and the temporary camp with torches around them.

"Jiang Yuan, are there people from Beijun ahead?" Chu Huaijin looked back at Feng Yanzhou happily, confirming the good news to him.

However, Chu Huaijin's goal was the blood flowing from the lips of the man behind him who no longer hugged him tightly, and the cluster of arrows shining with cold light and blood on his chest.

Feng Yanzhou didn't know when his chest was pierced by a sharp arrow behind him, but he held on to his last breath and brought Chu Huaijin here.

His consciousness was already blurred at this time, and it took half a beat before he raised his head and looked into the distance with great effort, then twitched the corners of his mouth to show a shapeless smile, and replied in a weak voice: "It's Beijun... we It's coming... Huaijin, why don't you smile too."

This time Chu Huaijin really couldn't laugh anymore.

His entire body felt as if he had been hit hard. Looking at the arrow on Feng Yanzhou's chest, he couldn't recover for a while, let alone understand what happened in front of him.

It was Feng Yanzhou's words, which were almost out of sentences, that dragged him back to reality, "I'm afraid, I can't...I can't go back...to Nanjun with you..."

Chu Huaijin's heart was suddenly aching, and before his brain could react, two lines of tears poured out of his eyes.

"No, no!" Chu Huaijin turned her head and looked ahead. They were only a hundred feet away from the camp in Beijun.

Soon, soon they will be here.

There must be someone there who can save Feng Yanzhou.

It was saved, this man he had loved, resented, and hated.

Feng Yanzhou shook his head, his eyes were about to lose their clarity, but he still looked at Chu Huaijin greedily and persistently, as if he wanted to remember him firmly and engrave him in his soul, until this time he really After crossing the Naihe Bridge and drinking Mengpo soup, don't forget the ordinary.

"Sorry... this time... I'm going to miss the appointment..." Feng Yanzhou raised his hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears from Chu Huaijin's eyes, and said his last words: "Huaijin... can you give me... ...give me a kiss, do... do you punish..."

After Feng Yanzhou finished speaking, before Chu Huaijin could respond, his eyes gradually closed, and there was no more sound.

At that moment, Chu Huaijin felt as if her own heart stopped beating along with the people behind her.

He was helpless, as if he had returned to his previous life. When he was the Young Emperor of Chu, he saw the dying Prince Regent who was poisoned.

But he is no longer Chu Shaodi.

Just like, today's Feng Yanzhou is no longer the regent at that time.

At this moment, Chu Huaijin suddenly realized that maybe, Chu Shaodi had indeed let go of his regent.But in this life, when he reunited with this completely different man again, he kept his memory of Feng Jiangyuan in his heart again.

This man, he has loved, resented, hated, let go, and finally picked up again.

But if Feng Yanzhou, who seemed to be omnipotent in his heart, died, he would have to let go of it no matter what...

It was too ridiculous and sad for him to go through time travel and rebirth in order to create such a reincarnation.

Finally, in response to Feng Yanzhou's previous request, Chu Huaijin laughed loudly at herself, just smiling, her eyes that had been wiped away from tears became blurred again.

Chu Huaijin reached out to wipe away tears, then raised her head, and gently kissed Feng Yanzhou's lips.

That was the first kiss that existed between them.

It smells of death and blood.
