The blue sky and white clouds, the green swallowtail fields, and the spiders crawling on the silk are the feeling of summer in Song You's memory.

The Taoist walked along the mountain road, leaning on his bamboo stick.

Gradually he reached the highest point of officialdom.

Although it is not the top of the mountain, it is still high enough. A river flows down below, with three mountains halfway out of the blue sky, and two rivers separated by Bailu Island. Foam is rolled up in the turbulence, and it is pure white, really like thousands of piles of snow.

Song You couldn't help but stop and turned around to look.

The sunlight is dazzling, reflecting a beautiful scenery.

Suddenly he felt something, and turned his head again, looking forward.

"Huh?"

The Taoist could not help but frown.

"Um?"

When the swallow standing on the horse's back nearby saw this, he also looked ahead. In confusion, without saying anything, he immediately flapped his wings and flew up, heading towards the clouds and towards the road ahead.

"Rumble..."

The earth trembled faintly, but it was not loud.

The mountains echoed with faint shouts.

"brush……"

The swallow flew over, flapped its wings and hovered in the air, and said to him: "Sir, there are two groups of people chasing us in front. They look very elite and are coming towards us."

"knew……"

"I don't know who it is."

"Who else could it be?"

Song You felt something vaguely.

After a moment of silence, he led his horse back to the roadside and stopped to watch.

The shouts and the sound of horse hooves soon became clear.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Can't run away!"

"How can the carriage lose its horse? Why don't you just surrender quickly and go back to your hometown!"

"You dare to kill the king? You are treasonous!"

"Shoot that horse!"

Song You even heard the sound of swords and guns clashing.

The men and horses in front jumped into his sight first.

The one walking at the front is an ordinary carriage, but if you look closely, you can still see the extraordinary horse. There are only dozens of riders behind, but they all wear helmets and armor and are strong. The people are elite.

, the horse underneath him is also one of the best in a thousand. He turns around to meet the enemy from time to time and shoots arrows backwards.

The guards are excellent and good at fighting, and the pursuers are also extraordinary.

Dayan's army was small, but they were all excellent.

Arrows often came from behind. Even the guards wearing armor were pierced by strong bows and sharp arrows, and their backs were pierced like hedgehogs, and they fell off their horses one by one.

The people behind are right, a carriage cannot outrun a horse.

The pursuers are getting closer and closer, and the number of guards is getting smaller and smaller.

At the same time, the carriage was getting closer and closer to Song You and his party.

"thorough!"

"rumble……"

There are often small pits and gravel in the official road, and the carriage is bumpy as it speeds. The wind lifts the curtains, vaguely revealing that an old man is sitting inside.

"..."

Song You stood by the roadside, silent.

I never thought that I would meet this old emperor here in such a simple way.

At this time, he couldn't help but wonder, did so many emperors in history who were either defeated or fled, and never heard from again, also pass by those who should be ordinary people in their rout? At that time, those emperors

Do ordinary people realize that the person they passed by once dominated the entire world? What they inadvertently saw was the whereabouts of the emperor that no one in the future could guess.

"parking……"

The old emperor in the car shouted with his remaining strength.

"Xu..."

The soldier driving the carriage stopped immediately, turned around, opened the curtain, and looked at the emperor.

But I saw the emperor sticking his head out of the window:

"Sir, save me..."

His voice was old and weak.

At this time, he should be extremely lucky that he remained awake at this time and did not continue to fall asleep.

Song You stopped on the side of the road and looked at him.

The soldiers behind him immediately caught up, and there were still more than twenty riders left. He didn't understand why the old emperor stopped, but he immediately surrounded the carriage, looking at Song You and the pursuing soldiers behind him.

"Your Majesty, why do you stop?"

The pursuers then arrived, hundreds to thousands, in a steady stream, and they also surrounded the carriages and soldiers.

The Taoist group was also surrounded by them.

"You decided to just surrender?"

"Ridiculous! How dare you pursue His Majesty!"

"What is your majesty? Don't talk nonsense. Everyone in the world knows that your majesty was kidnapped by that fake prince and went to Yizhou. There was just a treacherous official in the carriage. He dared to pretend to be your majesty. This is simply treason!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Retreat quickly! I will spare your life!"

"Put down the sword! I will spare your life!"

Both sides shouted at each other, their throats torn.

However, the emperor seemed not to hear this. He only stretched his hand out of the carriage window and stared blankly at the Taoist outside.

"Sir, please save me... to ensure that the world is not in chaos..."

When the two sides confronting each other outside saw this, they were also stunned for a moment.

Then they all turned their heads and looked at the young Taoist priest wearing old Taoist robes. They also looked at the maroon horse without a rein behind him, the swallow standing on the horse, and the man standing at the bottom.

The calico cat also looked into the eyes of the old emperor.

A few Imperial Guardsmen who had served in the palace vaguely found this Taoist figure from the depths of their memories, and a few captains who often listened to stories found this group of people strange and familiar.

"Who is you?"

Some of the pursuers stared at Song You and questioned him.

"No rudeness!"

Immediately, a majestic general walked out, shouted to stop the soldier, and then stared at Song You warily, and then looked into the carriage.

"Sir! We have been ordered by the prince and have received the secret edict from the prince and your majesty. We are here to hunt down the ministers who have caused trouble to the country! Sir, you are a foreigner. No matter how talented you are, please stay out of worldly affairs and do it for your convenience.

!”

"Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty is in the carriage! If the immortal master is really capable, please save the people from the fire and water, and help the building from falling!"

Suddenly, the two sides became even more tense.

The old emperor in the carriage seemed to be speechless. He only continued to look at the Taoist. His eyes had become cloudy and lost their luster, and his hair was disheveled. Compared with the first time they met, the old emperor was very different.

The Taoist was silent for a long time, then stepped forward with his staff.

The bay horse also followed him.

The pursuers suddenly became very nervous. They each held their swords tightly, and some even strung their bows, but the general quickly stopped them.

The mountain became quiet again, and only the sound of the wind and the voice of the man talking could be heard.

"Your Majesty has grown much older."

The Taoist's voice was very calm, as if he were speaking to an old friend.

"Sir...save me..."

"His Majesty……"

Song You thought for a long time, and many words flashed through his mind. But in the end, seeing the emperor's old and frail appearance, he did not accuse him, but just said: "Your Majesty is so conceited..."
