I'm back

Yan Qin's hand reached out to Yan Yuge, and was held by the other party, but there was no movement after just holding it.

Yan Qin waited patiently for a while, seeing that the regent was still, and finally couldn't help asking: "Uncle Wang, do you really intend to stay here with Gu until the sea dries up?"

He had just glanced at the bottom of the cave, and felt dizzy, his legs were weak and his feet were numb, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"Of course I want to stay with His Majesty until the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, but not here." The regent held the warm hand of the little emperor, and finally let go of his hand after the other party spoke.

He took a step forward and fired a signal flare into the sky. The gorgeous fireworks shot up into the sky with a "bang" and exploded in the blue sky.

After doing this, he stepped back, "Your Majesty, wait patiently, they will arrive soon on Eleventh."

"The signal flare just now was from hunting yesterday. Didn't you also take a bath, why are you still carrying it?" Yan Qin looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky, his expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know what to say. What is good, just ask such a sentence.

"Yes, after I finished changing my clothes yesterday, I kept them in my sleeves and didn't take them out." He habitually put some things in his sleeves, and because he thought they were useful, he carried them with him.

On the hunting ground, almost everyone who participated in the hunt had such a one. The one owned by Liu Xinda was used up when he won the top prize. The signal flares belonging to the emperor were all placed in the palace next to him. Moreover, when he woke up today, he changed his clothes again, and he didn't bring this thing with him at all, so he didn't expect to be able to use this to attract other people.

Sure enough, the regent was still careful, and Yan Qin breathed a sigh of relief.He looked up at the sky where the fireworks from the flares had disappeared, and said, "Uncle Wang, but they don't seem to be here. You let the flares go, how do they know we're here?"

The signal flares are flying in mid-air. The mountain is so big, and they are also very far away from the path in the mountain. It is not easy for the people who came to rescue them to find their own existence.

"Your Majesty needn't worry about it. They should remember where we landed. When the time is set, His Majesty will just go out and show his face."

As long as the group of people is not very stupid, they can get out quickly and smoothly.

"Okay, then I'll wait." The time in the cave always feels very slow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the days are like years.

Once he fell silent, Yan Qin didn't know what he could do. He looked into the distance for a long time, but he didn't see a small moving black dot representing a person appearing on the mountain path.Looking at it, his eyes were a little bit astringent, and he suddenly thought of a very important matter, so he asked the regent: "Uncle Wang, since you have a signal bomb on you, why didn't you let go when the two of us fell down?" ?”

In that case, wouldn't Chang Xiao immediately discover his existence, and then be able to rescue them out immediately.As for the previous jump by the regent, it can be said that the situation was urgent, but this mistake can be said to be very low-level. How could the regent, such a quick-witted and extremely intelligent person, make it.

Yan Qin's pupils shrank, and a very terrifying conjecture popped up in his mind. Could it be that the regent did it on purpose from the beginning to the present.

Although Yan Qin didn't say what was in his heart, the regent could see what he was thinking through his eyes.

The latter said angrily: "Your Majesty, in your heart, is this minister actually such an unreliable person?"

"Uncle Wang said earlier that he didn't try to figure out Gu's thoughts all the time, but Gu didn't say anything, so you know what I'm thinking."

Yan Yuge said again: "This is not speculation, it is His Majesty who has written everything in his eyes, and I can tell it at a glance."

After the third generation, Yan Qin is not as easy to guess as the regent said.To be precise, the only person in the world who could tell what he was thinking at a glance, except for Chang Xiao, was the regent.

But Chang Xiao has served him for more than ten years, and the regent has only known him for a long time in this life, just over two years.And in the first half year, the two of them still looked at each other and hated each other.

Yan Qin's expression at this meeting was very strange, Yan Yuge couldn't see where his thoughts had wandered, worried that the little emperor was thinking wildly, and said, "What is your Majesty thinking?"

"I'm wondering if it's because smart people take advantage of everything they do." What Chang Xiao took more than ten years to do, the regent took less than two years to do it. Is it because Chang Xiao is not smart enough?

The regent said angrily: "I don't think so. If I forgot to set off the signal flare for a while, His Majesty will suspect my intentions. Can this be considered an advantage?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The shout suddenly sounded from outside. The sound was far away, but it was on a mountain and the wind was strong. Since Yan Qin could hear it, it meant that the person he was looking for should be right above him or not far below.

He also stopped talking to the regent, took a step excitedly, showed his face according to what the regent said, then raised his hand and shook his hand as a signal: "I'm alone here."

The voice calling for His Majesty seemed to be coming from below, he lowered his head to look, and it happened to meet Chang Xiao's old face.

The latter burst into tears, and the tears covered his face: "Your Majesty, please wait, this old slave will come up to rescue you."

Yan Qin glanced at him and smiled, then retreated back into the cave.

Yan Yuge said, "Why doesn't Your Majesty stay outside for a while?"

Yan Qin said: "Looking at him often laughing like that, I always feel sorry for him." In fact, thinking about it carefully, although he didn't meet anyone who loved him madly in the previous two lives, his mother died early, Father Huang also didn't treat him affectionately, but it was worth it to have such a loyal servant like Chang Xiao.

The regent said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. If something happens to you, he won't be able to survive. Why feel guilty about him?"

Anyway, there are only the two of them and a coffin that has been placed for decades in the cave, so there is no need to worry about the walls having ears.

What the regent said was really cold and heartless, Yan Qin retorted: "No one in this world is destined to sacrifice everything for another person, even the servants in this palace are the same."

As the emperor, Yan Qin, the most honorable person in the world, who holds the power of life and death for tens of millions of people, if he is always admired by the stars, it will indeed be easier for the regent to think.

In fact, his elder brother and his father all thought of other people in this way. In his first life, he also had such thoughts, but after the second life, he realized that some people do things for others. He died only because he was the emperor, and they would not be able to live if he died, so they might as well fight hard.

Not saving the emperor is a capital offense, but if the emperor is saved, they can still benefit their families.

Yan Qin said two good things for Chang Xiao: "Uncle Wang is not entirely wrong. Those who follow Chang Xiao all hope that I will survive, but most of them are because if I die, they will die too." Just like the first day Uncle Wang saw me, those concubines cried so sadly, not because they loved my father so much, but because they wanted to die for my father The emperor ruined his life."

The regent's eyes reflected the face of the little emperor's earnest explanation. He looked at Yan Qin quietly, and said, "If one day I die before you, will you be sad for me?"

This time it was Yan Qin's turn to ask the regent: "Do you want to hear me tell lies, or the truth?"

"Listen to lies."

Yan Qin said, "Then I will be sad."

"What is the truth, will His Majesty be very sad?"

The little emperor's eyes told him that what Yan Qin said this time was not a lie, that is to say, Yan Qin was telling himself seriously that it was a lie that he would be sad.

He suddenly regretted a little, why did he ask such a question, if he didn't ask, could he still deceive himself a bit.

Yan Qin shook his head, and still said very seriously: "If you die, I will not be sad..."

He paused for a moment, and finished the rest of the sentence: "Because Gu must have died with you, perhaps a little earlier than you."

That's right, he can face the reality now. When he was reborn, it was a lie to deceive himself when he said that he wanted to kill the regent. Although the regent has such a strong physique, although he is ten years older than him, he must He also died behind himself.

Moreover, there are so many emperors in the past dynasties, and none of them lived a long life, especially his Yan family royal family, the longest life span was only 51.He felt that the regent, even if he didn't live to be an octogenarian, Gu Xi would always be able to live. He was different. He didn't think he could become the longest-lived emperor in the history of Dayan.

Yan Qin's words can be said to make Yan Yuge's mood drop to the bottom all of a sudden, and then soar to the sky.But after reacting, he said: "Your Majesty will not die before the minister. If there is such a situation, the minister will make it the same year, the same month and the same day."

This means that the regent will be buried with himself.Life and death are originally a very serious issue, most people dare not talk about it, but the two of them said it so casually, but both Yan Qin and Yan Yuge are very clear, what they said today It's all true.

The regent's expression was so serious that Yan Qin didn't know how to answer what he said for a while. At this moment, he saw a thick rope hanging down.

"Uncle Wang, look there, they are here to save us."

The regent followed Yan Qin out of the cave, raised his head, and saw a large group of people standing above them, with thick hemp ropes fastened there, with their hands on their mouths, calling out to His Majesty and Prince as if trumpeting .

After waiting for such a long time, he was finally able to go out. Yan Qin was so excited that he almost cried. Of course, this is just an exaggeration. He is a man, and he does not cry so easily as he often laughs.

For the sake of safety, the regent let Yan Qin go up first, and then he climbed up with a more vigorous posture, and landed firmly on the ground. When an emperor and a regent escaped safely, those who surrounded them There was also a burst of cheers, often laughing and even a little lost strength, almost his legs went limp, and he collapsed on the ground.

Anyway, he had already lost his face before, and he didn't mind being ashamed. He took out a square and clean handkerchief from his dusty and wide sleeves, and wiped away the tears that he couldn't wipe clean: "Your Majesty, you But it’s all right, the previous one really scared the old slave to death, and you scared the soul out of me.”

"How big is a man, still like a child, crying and crying." The emperor said so, it sounded like he was blaming Chang Xiao, but the anger was far greater than the blame. Obviously, he was very useful to Chang Xiao.

Some courtiers are very old and didn't do much to rescue the little emperor, they only pointed out from the sidelines. At this time, they also tremblingly came forward to express their inner feelings. What they said was very sincere, but there was always smiling Zhuyu in front , this feeling seems very false.

The fall from the mountain earlier obviously brought a lot of shadows to Yan Qin. Although there was no crossbar falling from the mountain road he was standing on now, Yan Qin was not at ease in his heart, and he did not stay here for too long. : "Let's go down the mountain first, if there's anything else, I'll bring it up later."

After crossing the narrow mountain road, Yan Qin's heart really fell when his feet landed on the solid ground below. Because of his old age and infirmity, Zuo Cheng Zhou Si followed the team and waited for the team to stop. Only then did he tremblingly approach the emperor: "Your Majesty, this old minister has important matters to attend to."

Seeing the respected Zuo Cheng like this, Yan Qin took a step forward and helped him up: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be too polite, if there is anything important, Ai Qing will just speak up."

"After His Majesty fell, Chen Te went up to check the original position of the crossbar, and found that the crossbar looked like it had been weathered and fell off, but it was not."

Zhou Si loves antique calligraphy and painting. He is not only good at appreciating treasures, but also knows many counterfeiting techniques in the industry. The crossbar looks like it was attacked by wind and sand and eaten by insects and ants, but it is not at all.

Yan Qin was prepared in his heart, but when he heard this sentence from Zhou Si's mouth, his face was still gloomy.

Zhou Si said again: "The emperor's blessings are as good as the sky, and he escaped this calamity."

Yan Qin looked at the regent; "Thanks to Uncle Wang, if it wasn't for Uncle Wang, I'm afraid I would have lost my life."

He looked at the team behind him, and said again: "First count the number of people, and then return to the palace. If anyone escapes, no matter what their identity is, they will all be executed."

When the crossbar fell, he didn't look up, so he didn't notice whether there was anyone above, but it was impossible for the other party to predict in advance that he would travel on a whim, and it was impossible to guess early when he would walk under the crossbar. that place.

There is only one situation, that is, that person knows that he is traveling, and when he walks over, the other party is watching them from above.

The Royal Autumn Hunt is very strict. In order to prevent cats and dogs from getting involved, the number of people traveling is counted and a list is prepared.

Lu Chengyi, the commander of the Yulin Army, stood up, took out a long roll of rice paper from his wide sleeves, unfolded it all at once, and read and checked the list one by one.

"Takamatsu."

"Here!" A short soldier raised his hand and shouted in a loud voice.

"Huo Xiaohua." This voice was even richer.

"To!"

"Chang Tie Niu." The Tie Niu who shouted was a fair and clean young man with a high-pitched voice.

After reading the name of the Yulin Army, Lu Chengyi turned to face the emperor again, and gave a military salute: "Report to Your Majesty, everyone is here."

Yan Qin's complexion did not ease. Yan Yuge who was at the side came over and whispered to the little emperor. After hearing what the regent said, the little emperor's expression became even uglier: "Are you sure, are everyone here?"

Lu Chengyi said: "Your Majesty heard and saw it just now. Everyone raised their hands and shouted. There are only so many people in the Habayashi Army, and they are all there."

Faced with the emperor's doubts, he was actually quite unhappy, but the emperor is the emperor after all, the master who controls his life and death, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he still has to cooperate very much on the face, bending his waist, lowering his head and saying: " Return to Your Majesty, I am sure that everyone is here."

"You call out Zhao Cheng and Lin Su to Gu."

Lu Chengyi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the little emperor's gourd, but he obediently took his orders and shouted loudly: "Zhao Cheng, Lin Su, come out!"

The crowd stepped aside, and a tall young man stood up and shouted loudly: "Dao!"

He yelled in full spirit, and if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, it might have caused a burst of good-natured laughter.

But no one was in the mood to laugh at this meeting. Everyone waited patiently for a while, but another person whose name was appointed by the emperor did not come out for a long time.

Commander Lu's expression turned ugly: "Zhao Cheng, why are you alone? Lin Su, Lin Su, get out!"

Lu Chengyi's words were very vulgar, and some civil officials present listened to them, shook their heads repeatedly, and said straightly: "vulgar" and "reckless"

However, Lin Su did not answer Commander Lu who trusted his brother very much. The Zhao Cheng who came out earlier only looked calm on the face, and now his legs were shaking.

Such a scene, what else can it explain, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the bold Zhao Cheng couldn't bear the pressure at all, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin, Lin Su said He was going to go to the toilet, but he just called the younger one to help him during the roll call, I really didn't think much about it."

Brother, there will always be difficulties on weekdays. When others have urgent matters, it is also common to beg someone with a good relationship to help take the name.And the person was still there for a moment, just saying that he was in a hurry, and he couldn't hold it back, so he walked away for a while.

Just like Lu Chengyi trusted his subordinates, Zhao Cheng believed in Lin Su's words so deeply that he didn't think much about it at all, just like usual, he temporarily yelled on behalf of his friends.

There were already many people, so he changed his position and stood there. Unexpectedly, his own commander didn't notice it, but the regent did.

After being named, after standing up for a while, he still didn't wait until Lin Su, who appeared here after going to the toilet, finally realized what happened. I can't hide it anymore, so I don't want to hide it at all, and I will confess my sin first.

What Zhao Cheng said was pitiful, Lu Chengyi also hesitated for a moment, still thinking of luck: "There are three urgencies in people, Your Majesty, or let's wait a little longer?"

"Bold Lu Chengyi, who gave you the courage to tell His Majesty about us!" Chang Xiao's voice has not fully recovered, and his voice is still as rough as a broken gong, but when he defends the little emperor, this voice is still full of deterrence of.

And he didn't mean to specifically intimidate Lu Chengyi. In his heart, this Lu Chengyi was really disrespectful and couldn't figure out his own status.

He still has to worry about things for his master.Otherwise, this is just a small commander of the Habayashi Army who can bully the emperor, so what is the emperor.

It is true that Lu Chengyi is not good at observing the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. As soon as Chang Xiao's words fell, the officials and other civil officials echoed.

Yan Qin looked at Lu Chengyi with no warmth in his eyes: "What you say is that you can't be a three-year-old alone."

Wait, let him wait until the thief can't escape.

His expression was very cold: "I'll give you a chance, search the mountains and find Lin Su, if you can't find him, you will be guilty of the same crime as him."

In fact, everyone is very clear that the path of Commander Lu, whether it is his career or his life, has come to an end. The opportunity given by the emperor is not for Lu Chengyi to redeem his sins, but to decide the other party based on the result. The way of death, in the end, is to give it a good time, or torment to the point where you can't survive.

Lu Chengyi knelt down on one knee, propped his other hand with his long sword, and said slowly and heavily, "I take orders."

This was his negligence and fault, and it was his carelessness that led to the present bitter fruit.

The team protecting the emperor is not just the Habayashi Army.Lu Chengyi led his subordinates to look for Lin Su who had escaped, while Yan Qin and the large army stayed in place to rest for a while.

It's still early now, if the other party hasn't given him any news within two hours, Yan Qin will leave first with the main force and return to Beijing.

He was not very worried that Lu Chengyi and the other Habayashi soldiers would take the opportunity to run away. After all, the names of these people were all registered in the register. crime, sent to prison, or assigned, or directly sentenced to death.

When Lu Chengyi and others disappeared from Yan Qin's sight, he turned his face to look at the regent, at this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and shouted out on the spot: "Uncle Wang, are you injured? !"
