"Yes, I am here to save you. I wonder if Brother Huang is willing to get out of the current predicament." Murong Hao looked at the brush on the table, then looked at Murong Chen and said seriously.

"Your Imperial Brother, I have made a big mistake. How can I get out of this predicament? I will wait for death when I return to the capital. Only I know my predicament and I can't get out of it."

Murong Chen's eyes were full of regret. If he hadn't listened to the Gao family's arrangements, he might have lived a better life now.

"Brother Imperial, you are my father's eldest son. Before I went on the expedition, I asked my father if I could take your life if I fought with you in hand-to-hand combat. Do you know how my father answered?" Murong Hao kept staring. He looked at Murong Chen, trying to see what he was thinking through his expression.

"I don't know, how did my father answer?" Murong Chen has always wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Father told me not to hurt your life as much as possible, and asked me to take you back, and he would interrogate you personally." Murong Hao truthfully relayed their father's words.

"Father, did you really say that?" Murong Chen said in disbelief.

"What's the benefit of me lying to you? If I want to lie to you, wouldn't it be easier to kill you now?" Murong Hao said seriously.

"That's right. It's a pity that I made a big mistake and my father will probably never forgive me." Murong Chen looked regretful, thinking that maybe there was no use regretting.

"Brother, the Emperor is saving you now. As long as you reveal the whereabouts of the remaining 5 soldiers, the Emperor will definitely ask Father to let you live." Murong Hao saw the deep regret on Murong Chen's face. Yes, he is willing to help him.

"The imperial brother is targeting you like this, why are you helping me like this?" Murong Chen looked at Murong Hao in front of him in confusion. He seemed not to understand his imperial brother.

In his impression, the emperor's younger brother had been withdrawn since he was a child. He was cold and cold towards others, always rejecting people from thousands of miles away. It seemed difficult to get into his heart, and it was even less likely that he would be with anyone. Deep friendship.

"Brother Emperor, you were not like this when you were young. At that time, you always liked to give gifts to each of our brothers and sisters. You would teach us how to read and write, and teach us the principles of life. Brother Emperor, you are not a bad person. I miss you. There must be some reason for it to become like this."

Murong Hao thought back to Murong Chen in the past. He used to be a man as gentle as jade, but he was completely different from now.

"Those are things in the past, we can't go back." Murong Chen said with emotion.

"Brother Imperial, I want to ask you again, do you want to live, or do you want to live in exile forever? Do you want your beloved woman to live a life of wandering with you?"

Murong Hao didn't have much patience. He looked at his Xi'er holding the sword around Ren Lean's neck. Her hands must be sore.

"Chen Lang, listen to King Rui. As long as I can live, I will stay with you." Ren Lean begged him at the side.

Murong Chen glanced at Ren Le'an. He indeed owed this woman too much. If he died, this woman would not survive. He made a decision.

"Murong Hao, can I trust you?" Murong Chen's eyes were full of expectation.

"Brother Imperial, it is easy for me, Murong Hao, to kill you. Why do I have to argue with you so much here? We have the blood of our father on our bodies. We are brothers. You have never been cruel to me. I am willing to save your brother."

Murong Hao said, looking at his Xi'er, he would say such words, maybe he was influenced by Xi'er. This time he wanted to follow his inner thoughts and try to save the big brother in his heart.

"Okay, I, Murong Chen, will give it a try and cooperate with you once. I only want An'er and I to keep our lives, and I don't need anything else."

Murong Chen knew that his sins were serious, and it was a great mercy for his father to spare him and An'er's lives.

"Okay, now that the emperor has decided, tell the emperor, where are you hiding the remaining 5 soldiers?" Murong Hao asked the real question.

"5 soldiers pretending to be civilians are on their way back to Beijing."

Murong Chen told the answer that Murong Hao had always puzzled over. Murong Hao was shocked when he heard the answer.

"Brother Emperor, are you going to rebel?" Murong Hao was really convinced by this brother.

"I thought so before you came here, but I don't think so anymore." Murong Chen smiled calmly.

"Who in the capital will support you?" Murong Hao continued to ask.

"Gao Chenghao, he wholeheartedly wants to protect me from sitting on that supreme position, but it's a pity that I am the dirt in his heart and cannot hold him up. After so much, I have no intention of taking that position for a long time. Wouldn't it be better to be a leisurely prince in the future? , or being a commoner and traveling around with your own woman, that’s great. Since I found An’er, I don’t want that position anymore.”

Murong Chen said, looking at his woman and the sword in Lin Yunxi's hand. He was really afraid that her hands would be sore and the sword would accidentally wipe his woman's neck. He said:

"Hey, brother and sister, aren't your hands tired? Let her go. She doesn't know martial arts. She is a woman with weak hands. If you are afraid that she will run away, just tie her hands."

Murong Hao looked at Lin Yunxi tenderly, nodded, and motioned to her to tie up Ren Le'an.

"My hands are a little sore. You can continue chatting and don't worry about us." Lin Yunxi said, putting down the sword in his hand, taking out a handkerchief from his waist and binding Ren Lean's hands.

"Where are the 5 soldiers who returned to Beijing now?" Murong Hao continued to ask.

"They dispersed out of Xihe Prefecture City one after another. We received news yesterday that they still have 600 miles to reach Shangjing City to meet up with Gao Chenghao. According to their speed, it should take another 12 days to reach Shangjing City."

Murong Chen roughly calculated the itinerary of the 5 soldiers and told Murong Hao.

"The 12th? What does Gao Chenghao want to do after the 12th? Want to destroy the palace?" Murong Hao was frightened at this moment. He did not expect that the Gao family would actually want to rebel.

"Yes, Gao Chenghao said that he came to destroy the palace and support me as the new emperor." Murong Chen smiled, looking indifferent.

Cold sweat broke out on Murong Hao's back. Twelve days later, the palace would be in chaos. He wanted to stop this terrible thing from happening.

"Brother, your crime is really serious. Are you willing to atone for it?" Murong Hao didn't expect that his brother not only committed treason, but also participated in rebellion. Murong Hao discovered all of this. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. .

"Can I still survive for such a crime?" Murong Chen smiled bitterly.

"You have committed treason, but you have not committed rebellion. Perhaps this is your only chance to atone for your crimes." Murong Hao said seriously.

"Okay, I'd like to hear the emperor's explanation in detail." Murong Chen became serious now. He wanted to hear how Murong Hao would save him.

Several people talked in the camp for nearly two hours.

After the two brothers finally reached a consensus, Murong Hao untied Murong Chen and left the forest with Lin Yunxi and a group of secret guards on horseback.

Still using the same method as before, when they arrived at a place where no one was around, Lin Yunxi quickly led a group of people back to the small forest outside the city gate, and then returned to the city.
