rescue
After sending off the great god Lu Zhi, Zhang Liang set out to the main hall where Liu Ji was. Since Liu Ji came to Hanzhong, he has been devoted to developing local farming and managing Hanzhong in an orderly manner with Xiao He. In terms of the army, he appointed Han Xin as the general and entrusted him to manage the army. He did not intervene too much except for necessary inspections.
Zhang Liang walked into the hall, and Liu Ji was reading the book reading slip at the table. When he saw Zhang Liang coming, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Juniang, why are you here? Sit."
Zhang Liang sat down with a smile and said to Liu Ji: "I'm here to send a message to the King of Han."
Liu Ji was puzzled: "What kind of news is it? If you need a ovary, you can deliver it in person?"
Zhang Liang restrained his smile and reported to Liu Ji: "I heard that Xiang Yu had moved Emperor Yi to Bin County and wanted to kill him and proclaim himself emperor."
Liu Ji changed his face instantly, and he couldn't believe his ears: "The world has just settled, and Xiang Yu is so impatient to kill the regicide? Is he crazy?"
Zhang Liang said coldly: "Since the destruction of Qin, Xiang Yu has claimed that he is invincible in the world. Emperor Yi is just a child. How can he suppress Xiang Yu's spirit? I had expected Xiang Yu to rebel, but I didn't expect that he would rebel so quickly."
Liu Ji pondered for a long time, his eyes flashed and darkened, and hesitated. He stood up and kept paced in the house, as if he was playing something in his heart. After about a stick of incense, Liu Ji finally made up his mind. He said to Zhang Liang: "Now we are in Hanzhong and cannot send troops to rescue him. You can send a few capable deadpools to come out to Hanzhong to protect His Majesty's safety."
Zhang Liang was speechless and did not answer. Liu Ji pushed Zhang Liang for a moment and asked, "Zifang, have you heard me?"
"The King of Han wants to save His Majesty?" Zhang Liang asked.
Liu Ji nodded and sighed: "Your Majesty is the prince of Chu that we found in Fengyi. We supported him to his current status with one hand. How can we stand by and watch when he is in trouble now?"
Zhang Liang thought about it thoughtfully, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhang Liang stood up and said goodbye, walked to the door, turned around, and returned to Liu Ji: "The princess had just come to find Weichen, and beg me to advise Your Majesty."
When Liu Ji's eyes heard Lu Zhi's name, Liu Ji's eyes became colder. He silently picked up the book and said to Zhang Liang lightly: "Don't waste your words. Lu Zhi cruelly poisoned and hurt Qiqi. She was a person who was as sweet as a snake. In order to block Youyou's mouth, I had to marry her and she had done her best to do it."
Zhang Liang bowed and said, "This is the family matter of the King of Han. I shouldn't have talked too much, but King of Han, you are already the king's title. If you don't have a legitimate son, if we really take over the world, who will inherit it?"
Liu Ji's hand holding Shu Jian was stiff, and Zhang Liang continued: "Although the princess acted extremely, she was deeply in love with the King of Han, which is obvious to everyone. I hope the King of Han thinks three times and never loses the big picture because of the small."
Liu Ji didn't say anything. After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he bowed and retreated. Liu Ji threw the book aside in annoyance, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and was silently enlightened.
"Come." After a while, he said in a low voice: "Let the princess come to see me."
In the dim room, there was no light, and beside the bed, there were only two candles emitting faint light. Lu Zhi took a bath, changed her clothes, dressed up, and walked into the room nervously.
Liu Ji sat on the chair, silently, and the shadow of the candle shone on his clearly contoured cheeks, with a little chill. Lu Zhi twisted the corner of her skirt and walked to Liu Ji, a little shy and a little scared: "Brother Ji..."
"Call me, King of Han." Liu Ji's voice was cold, and Lu Zhi's originally excited heart seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water. Liu Ji's cold face made her afraid. She never thought that Liu Ji would look at her with such a strange look.
"King of Han..." Lu Zhi knelt down gently. Liu Ji stood up, walked to Lu Zhi, pinched her chin, and forced her to look into her eyes: "I will never forgive you for hurting Qiqi."
Lu Zhi struggled for a while, and the force in Liu Ji's hand increased: "However, you are the wife of my matchmaker, and the child you gave birth to is my legitimate son. As long as you are sane, I will not give up on you and will treat the child well."
Lu Zhi's eyes were soaked with tears at this moment, and she choked and said, "So, you just want me to give birth to you, right?"
Liu Ji let go of Lu Zhi, walked to the bed, untied his clothes, revealing his strong chest. He leaned against the bed and sneered, "So what?"
Lu Zhi's heart was broken at this moment. She knelt on the ground, as if someone had pulled her soul away, her eyes were dull. There was no longer the shyness and anxiety of a woman in her eyes, but more bitterness and helplessness. After sitting for a while, she slowly stood up, took off her clothes, and walked step by step to the person she had been dreaming about countless times.
"Yes, I obey the order." Lu Zhi gently took off Liu Ji's clothes and bent down. There was no joy, no affection, only boundless pain and coldness. When Liu Ji's expression was confused, the whispering "Qiqi" was like a sharp knife, stabbed into Lu Zhi's heart. She suddenly felt that she was extremely ridiculous. Although she was a princess, she was no different from those low-ranking women.
The night gradually became colder.
A fast horse galloped past the rugged mountain road, raising waves of dust. The horse was wearing a black cloak, making it impossible to see his face. At this time, several sharp knives suddenly raised on the ground and stabbed the horse. The person on the horse's back suddenly rolled down. Before the man could take off the cloak, he was pierced and died of a knife.
The murderer shook the blood from the knife and said in a cold and low voice: "King of Linjiang Gongao offended him."
He used the tip of the knife to lift the black cloth covered with the dead man's face, and suddenly cut the tree twice in anger, and spat, "Bah, this is not."
"Prince!" A subordinate hurriedly reported: "Hengshan King Wu Rui was attacked by a rebel force and was almost wiped out."
"What? Whose army is it?"
"It's Hinaling Pavilion."
Gong Ao was shocked. Chuling Pavilion was a legacy organization of the Qin Dynasty. Although it was huge, it was irreconcilable with Chu. Why did their people save an emperor without power?
"You search carefully for me. The Emperor Yi and his son will definitely not run far. You must not let anyone go."
"yes."
Gong Ao angrily kicked the dead body on the ground, turned over the horse, and left the hill. In a dark cave several hundred meters away, a figure hurriedly passed by and shrank in.
"Mother, you are back!" The Emperor of Yi Mi Xin greeted her and patted the dust on her body: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Silly child, my mother is not tired." Mrs. Hong patted Yidi's little face gently, took out two steamed buns from her arms, and handed them to him: "Eat quickly, we'll leave in a while."
Mi Xin hadn't had a good meal for several days. When he saw the steamed bun, he started to chew on it. He had been frugal with food and food, and he was already hungry. This steamed bun was comparable to a delicious dish.
Mrs. Hong looked at Mi Xin's voracious look, and she didn't know how sad she was. Although he was an emperor, under Xiang Yu's threat, she lived tremblingly and was often awakened by nightmares at night. Mrs. Hong saw it and felt pain in her heart. She had hopes countless times that her heart was just a simple child, not a prince of Chu.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the cave. Mrs. Hong held Mi Xin tightly in her arms and stared at the cave with a look of alert. The footsteps gradually approached and stopped in front of them.
"King Yingbu, King of Jiujiang, pay homage to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager." Yingbu knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
The last glimmer of hope in Mrs. Hong's heart was broken. She closed her eyes in pain, and finally fell into the hands of Xiang Yu's party members. She felt ashamed at the moment, but she didn't expect that God would not let them go.
Behind Ying Bu, a light footstep slowly walked over, and Qi Lan called out softly: "Madam Hong, Xin'er, are you in there?"
The familiar voice made Mrs. Hong open her eyes suddenly. She stumbled out and saw Qi Lan standing in front of them.
"Miss Qi, it's really you!" Mrs. Hong rushed over excitedly. Seeing that she had nothing to do, Qi Lan breathed a lot of relief, and her heart finally fell down: "It's great, it seems we've caught up."
Mi Xin carefully crawled out. Qi Lan hadn't seen this child for a long time. He had grown a lot taller. Although his face was still childish, his eyes had become much calmer. Qi Lan walked up to him and knelt down and bowed: "Qi Lan, the head of Chuling Pavilion, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Mi Xin was a little surprised: "Sister Qi, are you the Lord of Chuling Pavilion? How could that happen?"
A voice of "Sister Qi" made Qi Lan feel more intimate. She chuckled and replied: "It's a long story at this time. In short, I'm here to protect you."
Mi Xin nodded, pointed at Ying Bu and asked, "What about him? Who is he?"
Yingbu replied: "You are the king of Jiujiang, Yingbu, who has now surrendered to Chuling Pavilion."
"Oh, so that's it." Mi Xin smiled, turned her head to Qi Lan and said, "Sister Qi, you are so awesome."
Lu Yang was always alert to the surroundings. Fire flashed in the distance, as if a pursuer was chasing him. She jumped up in a hurry, not caring about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and rushed over and said, "Okay, don't let my mother-in-law and mother. If you have anything to say, I'll say it to a safe place. That Gong Ao will soon chase him."
Qi Lan nodded, asked Lu Yang to support Mrs. Hong, and hurriedly left with Mi Xin. Ying Bu and several guards were behind, and were on guard.
"Where are we going?" Mrs. Hong asked as she walked.
Qi Lan replied: "First go to Wanhua Tower in Chang'an, which is the stronghold of Chuling Pavilion. As long as you get there, it will be safe."
Luyang continued: "Yes, we have found a place to live. You can only be an ordinary person in the future. Never reveal your identity, and from now on, you will be invisible and not ask about political affairs."
