The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 760
"Quick... run..."

Holding his wife's hand, Zhao Weilong ran quickly, but the pursuers behind him were already approaching them.

Fortunately, the forest where they were hiding was densely covered with bushes, and the accompanying cavalry could not enter and pursue them, otherwise the two of them would have no chance of escaping.

But even so, the distance between the pursuers and the two of them is getting closer, and it is obviously only a matter of time before they catch up.

"Is that the little emperor you mentioned?" Bai Hu who followed behind asked.

"That's right, my lord, it's them!"

At this time, the "leading party" was already laughing, and the benefits of catching the emperor would not be less.

"Brothers, arresting someone is of great benefit, let me run faster!"

Everyone was extremely excited. If the so-called "emperor" was really caught, their benefits would naturally be great.

When he fled in a panic, Zhao Weilong's heart was pounding, and fear spread in his heart.

Endless despair weighed on his heart again, so much so that he lost confidence and lost the courage to continue to escape.

Anyway, you can't escape, so what's the difference between running and not running?
Thinking of this in his mind, Zhao Weilong staggered and fell to the ground while being highly nervous and frightened, and at the same time brought Zhen Xiangyu beside him to the ground.

"Quick... Your Majesty, you go first..."

At this time, Zhen Xianglian immediately thought of letting her husband escape first, and put her own life and death aside.

Reluctantly standing up, Zhao Weilong looked at the soldiers of the Yong army who were approaching gradually, and said with ashamed heart: "Lian'er... we can't run away!"

As soon as his words fell, he heard a roar from behind: "Your Majesty...follow me!"

Zhao Weilong turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw that it was Yuan Zheng who had returned, which made him regain some hope.

With Yuan Zheng and two soldiers under his command, Zhao Weilong took Zhen Xianglian's hand and fled towards the west side of the forest panting heavily.

"Your Majesty, I can only escort you here!"

"Yuan Qing, you are..."

Before Zhao Weilong could ask, Yuan Zheng shouted, "Go!"

The next moment, Yuan Zheng drew out his saber from his waist, and said to the two subordinates standing on the left and right: "You two brothers, you can go if you want, I just beg you not to betray the emperor!"

After saying these words, Yuan Zheng followed in the direction of Yong Jun's pursuit with a knife in his hand. He wanted to fight to the death with the closest soldiers.

"My lord, you are underestimating brother, I will follow you wherever you go!"

"That's right, since we are brothers in life and death, we should live and die together!"

After the two said this, they also drew their knives and rushed to follow Yuan Zheng, ignoring Zhao Weilong who was on the side the whole time.

Only Yuan Zheng was loyal to the emperor, and the two soldiers who followed to the end were willing to follow Yuan Zheng.

"Hahaha... Rebels, grandpa doesn't want to run away today, so he just meets you!"

Hearing Yuan Zheng's hearty laughter in front of him, Zhao Weilong felt extremely sad and indignant, and he couldn't change anything from the beginning to the end.

"Your Majesty, they are delaying with their lives, let's go...don't disappoint their loyalty!" Zhen Xianglian reminded in time.

With extremely complicated emotions, Zhao Weilong had no choice but to continue to escape with Zhen Xiangyu, and now he and his wife were the only ones left on the road.

The two escaped from the woods, and before they had time to feel that their lives were approaching, they heard screams from behind.

I don't know who made the screams, but Yuan Zheng and the others must have been in danger.

"Husband, there is a mountain ahead, let's go into the mountain!"

You can hide in the mountains, but there are wild beasts in and out, which is actually more dangerous for these two long-term pampered people.

But obviously, the two of them couldn't care less now.

From the edge of the forest to the mountain in front, there is a large piece of abandoned land in the middle, and the distance between the two points is two or three miles.

"Walk……"

With the death of Yuan Zheng and the others, Zhao Weilong rekindled his fighting spirit. He really couldn't bear to let down these loyal ministers, so he had to work hard to survive.

Entering the abandoned land, there is a person-high wormwood growing inside, which not only affects their sight, but also hinders their forward speed.

Of course, as the movement behind him became smaller, the hope of life grew bigger and bigger, which also gave Zhao Weilong more confidence in living.

However, he didn't know that the two of them appeared abnormally in this wasteland, and they had been spotted by rangers in the distance.

"Who, stop!"

Severe reprimands fell, and then several cavalrymen rushed out from the left and right, reined in the reins, and looked at Zhao Weilong and the two with cold eyes.

The few cavalrymen who appeared were all dressed in a full set of iron armor. They were burly and fierce, and they looked like the elite of the elite.

Seeing that Zhao Weilong and the two were silent, the little flag officer leading the team became more and more annoyed, and scolded: "Respond immediately, who are you and why are you here?"

This is an undeveloped place, and there really shouldn't be civilians here, and these two people don't look like civilians.

Once suspicious, no matter how Zhao Weilong accosts him, the little flag officer will not let him go easily.

They are escorting the princess and her party, absolutely nothing can happen, so they have to eliminate all hidden dangers.

"we are……"

"Take it!"

Good guy, Zhao Weilong was not given a chance to reply at all, the little flag official directly ordered someone to take him down.

This so-called, I would rather catch the mistake than let it go.

Soon, Zhao Weilong and his wife were tied up, and the cavalry led them on the road with ropes.

They want to bring people back to the escort team, and have special people torture them, after all, they are also responsible for scouting the way.

A few minutes later, Zhao Weilong and Zhao Weilong were taken to the central army, and a Baihu took over.

Their team was tasked with escorting the princess to the capital, and the entire escort team consisted of more than [-] people.

Among them, Zhang Meng led 300 front guards (second-level soldiers) as the main force, and there were also [-] infantry allocated by the Longyou Dusi.

The rest are dedicated logistics personnel, and eunuchs and maids who take care of the daily life of several concubines.

It is more appropriate to say that it is to escort a few princesses, but it is more appropriate to say that it is to move Prince Yong's mansion. After all, it is definitely not these few people who are going to be taken away.

Because they brought a lot of things, and the princesses were more delicate, the speed of the team was not fast.

The Chief History Department and the officials of the Privy Council, because they were in a hurry to get to Beijing, so they took it lightly, and they were almost in the capital at this moment.

As the ministers of Zhao Yanxun's hidden residence, now it's time to share the fruits of victory, how can they not be in a hurry?

When Zhao Weilong and the two were brought to the team, they naturally saw the terrifying Yong character flag again, and then he was completely heartbroken.

Now that he was arrested, he no longer had to escape.

"Lian'er, your life and mine are over!"

Immediately afterwards, Baihu, who took over, left the two of them on the side of the road for questioning, so as not to delay the marching time of the team.

"Who are you?"

"Why did it appear here?"

"Are you instructed by someone?"

However, Zhao Weilong and Zhao Weilong did not respond to every word of this Baihu, just because they racked their brains to come up with excuses that would not give them a chance to escape.

What's more, a perfect set of rhetoric is not easy to come up with.

Because there was no hope of surviving, Zhao Weilong actually had the mood to think about who this team was escorting.

Immediately, his eyes swept to several carriages approaching in the distance. The protection around the carriages was stronger, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were three floors inside and three floors outside.

"Could it be possible to catch some fugitives? This is really strange!"

"It's still a man and a woman. Could it be that they have never been husband and wife? Why did they appear here?"

Hearing the conversation between Yu Zhu and the maid outside the carriage, Xue Baoyun, who was putting the child to sleep, couldn't help being curious.

So she quietly lifted up the corner of the car curtain, and she saw the scene of torture in front of her, the captured man was being whipped.

Immediately afterwards, her gaze swept to the woman, and she saw that the woman was begging bitterly, but unfortunately she failed to influence the beating soldier at all.

The next moment, the woman glanced at the carriage, meeting Xue Baoyun's eyes.

"Lian... Lian'er?"

For a moment, Xue Baoyun thought he had seen it wrong, so he took a closer look, but found that it looked more and more like it.

"Polygonatum..."

Hearing the princess calling, the chat outside the carriage came to an abrupt end.

"The servant is here, what orders does the empress have!"

"Go to the side of the road and see who is the captured woman!"

Although it was strange, Yuzhu didn't hesitate, and immediately took orders to leave.

Watching Yuzhu leave, Xue Baojun said to himself: "If it's really Lian'er, Yuzhu will definitely recognize it!"

The Xue and Zhen families are family friends, and Xue Baojun and Zhen Xiangyu can be said to have grown up playing together since they were young. As a high-level maidservant of the Xue family, Yuzhu naturally knows this Miss Zhen's family.
