Chapter 188 Blackmailing the Prince

Yang Shucheng, who was tied up all over, was concerned about the situation of the battle, hoping that both of them would lose, so that he could find an opportunity to escape.

Liu Xue and Liu Jun were no match for the Liu family and his son. After being defeated, they ran towards the ruined temple.

Yang Shucheng was the most nervous, watching them escape.

At this time, a man walked out of the ruined temple.

Yang Shucheng took a look and recognized it.

This person is King Shen.

He was in Xinyang City, and the palace attracted talented people and strangers, and even went around to kidnap women to practice the art of immortality. Why did he appear in this place late at night?

It turned out that Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng entered the capital, Emperor Chongzhen was hanged, and the world was in chaos. This Chen Jiagui teamed up with the leader of Mingyue Village to attack Xinyang, and finally captured Xinyang City and entered Prince Shen's Mansion.

A group of people rushed into the palace, burned, killed and looted. Before leaving, he set a fire and burned the palace to ashes.

Liu Xue and Liu Jun risked their lives to save the Shen Dynasty and ran south, preparing to cross the Dabie Mountains to Wuchang.

In Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu is now stationed here, with an army of 200,000. King Shen was going to go to General Zuo and join forces with him to break into the capital.

That night, Liu Xue and Liu Jun came here to protect King Shen. It was already getting late, and King Shen was usually very pampered, but now he was very tired after running around for half a day and could not move even an inch. Seeing a ruined temple here, they walked in. The two of them supported King Shen to eat some dry food and then rested.

King Shen lived a life of fine clothing and fine food, but now that he has lost everything, he has to make do with the simple things. He doesn't care about the dust in the temple, just find a place and take a nap. There is no beautiful woman to accompany me tonight. I don’t know how to get there? I saw the full moon shining in through the broken window, and it was so clear and desolate inside.

Liu Xue and Liu Jun arranged for King Shen to be settled. They went out and laid ambush around to prevent any unexpected events. They were afraid that wild beasts would come out. However, they did not expect the wild beasts to come, but the Liu family father and son came instead.

Now King Shen is in danger. They don't want the Liu family and his son to know that King Shen is here, so they try their best to stop him. However, the more they try to stop him, the Liu family and his son think that there is a beautiful woman in the temple, so they bully them. After defeating them, they will enter the temple. coming.

King Shen was in the temple and had long seen the fighting outside. Now he saw that Liu Xue and Liu Jun were unable to resist. There was no way he could hide, so he might as well take the initiative to come out.

The father and son of the Liu family took advantage of the chaos in the world and traveled north and south. They saw the great world. They also went to Xinyang City and saw that the prince's palace was rich. They also went to the palace to rob. However, King Shen was very powerful at that time. After they entered, nothing happened. If he didn't catch it, he withdrew.

But they still recognized Prince Shen. Now when they saw him, Liu's father immediately stepped forward. He was also very polite and said: "It turns out to be Prince Shen. What a bother."

"It turns out to be Daxia Liu, and his two generals have offended him a lot."

King Shen was in trouble, so he had no choice but to lower his body and not dare to offend them in order to protect himself.

How shrewd this Liu father was, knowing that the prince was in trouble, he instead complained first, saying: "How noble the prince is, why did he allow these two people to kidnap him?"

King Shen did not dare to offend him, but instead pretended to befriend him, and said: "It's hard to explain in words. They are not kidnapping me. Please tell Liu Daxia to the temple."

Father Liu was not polite and planned to enter the temple. He first looked at Liu Junyi. Liu Junyi understood and escorted Yang Shucheng into the ruined temple.

This is a ruined temple, maybe a mountain temple. It is very small. When four people enter, there is no place to turn around.

Liu Junyi came up with a way to increase the space. He kicked Yang Shucheng over with one kick. Yang Shucheng fell into his hands. Knowing that he was cruel and cruel, he did not argue with him and simply sat on the ground.

This time the space appears larger.

There is not even a seat in the temple.

The three of them were left standing.

Liu's father said: "Your Majesty is not in Xinyang City, what are you doing here?"

King Shen no longer hid it from him and said: "Now that the world is in chaos, Liu Daxia must also know about it. I am going to Wuchang to find General Zuo and ask him to lead his troops into the capital to avenge the Ming Dynasty."

Liu's father said: "The intruders have entered the capital. General Zuo is guarding Wuchang City with 200,000 men and many strong generals. However, he has not sent a single soldier to the north. He is relying on his own troops. I'm afraid if the prince goes to him, He won't listen to your orders."

King Shen sighed and said, "We can only leave it to fate."

Father Liu thought to himself, the world is in chaos now, and thieves have entered the capital. But outside the capital, there are thieves everywhere, and they don't listen to his orders. In addition, there is Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the West, who is heading west. Who will be in this world in the future? What about the world? He had the idea of ​​holding King Shen hostage to do his own big thing.

He made up his mind and said to King Shen: "Instead of defecting to others, relying on others, and looking at people's faces, it might be better to recruit the troops yourself and march north. Maybe it can be done."

King Shen said: "Now there is famine everywhere in Hebei and Henan, and thieves are everywhere. Where can we recruit troops? General Zuo is still using the banner of my Ming Dynasty. I think the situation is critical now, and I will attack the capital while the thieves are not stable. If In time, the intruder will gain a firm foothold, and it will be too late to try to kill him."

Liu's father saw that he still had some understanding. He was not a fool and would not be fooled easily. He rolled his eyes and thought carefully, saying: "Your Majesty, follow me north. I still have some popularity in the world, why don't I keep it?" Your Majesty, it is better to go and gather those thieves than to go under someone else’s roof.”

King Shen wanted to go to the capital to serve the king. I guess he was not a fat-headed person. After hearing this, he paused and said: "Master Liu, you are very thoughtful. How about this, we divide the troops into two groups, and I will do this." The two families will be saved and asked to see General Zuo. Liu Daxia will go up to Henan and Hebei to make a call. By then, our two families will be together in one place, wouldn't it be great!"

Seeing his repeated excuses, Liu's father thought he had seen through his intentions, so he stopped being polite, looked at King Shen with his eyes, and said: "The world is in chaos now, and everyone wants your life. The prince has gone to the south, and I am worried." , why not come with me, I can protect your safety."

"This..." This King Shen was also a smart man. Seeing Liu's father's expression change, he couldn't help but feel afraid.

Then Liu Xue and Liu Jun stood outside the broken door. Seeing Liu's father like this, they shouted: "You two grass bandits, do you want to force the prince?"

Liu's father wanted to hold Prince Shen hostage and do his own thing. Now seeing these two people standing aside, he became angry and said, "You two also want to protect the prince?"

Liu's father made up his mind, so he rushed out boldly, swung his sword and stabbed at the two of them. These two people were eager to protect their master, and even though they knew they were outmatched, they still stepped forward desperately.

The three of them jumped to the open space in front of the temple and started fighting.

Liu's father wanted to show off in front of King Shen, one on two, without any courtesy, and use powerful killing methods. After more than ten moves, he killed these two people, leaving their armor and armor behind, and their bodies were dripping with blood.

The two of them still stepped forward desperately. Liu's father stabbed Liu Jun with his sword, hitting Liu Jun's chest, and the blood gurgled out.

Then Liu Xue stepped forward, hugged Liu Jun, and said to King Shen who was walking out of the door: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't try our best, we are really no match. Let's go first and look for helpers. Your Majesty, take care."

These two are also masters. During the fight, they knew that Liu's father was already murderous. If they fought for two more moves, both brothers would die on this barren mountain. Therefore, it was more important to save their lives and they could not care about the prince. , the two brothers supported each other and ran away in an instant.

King Shen immediately changed his color and stayed aside.

Liu's father wiped the blood on his sword and said slowly to King Shen: "Your Majesty, you have also seen that thieves are everywhere now. How can they protect the Prince with their low abilities? As long as the Prince follows us, father and son, we will risk our lives." Keep the prince safe."

King Shen knew that he had bad intentions, but at this point, he had no choice but to follow them and look for opportunities to escape later. Therefore, King Shen could only nod and said: "Okay."

Father Liu said: "Your Majesty, please come in and we will discuss it in detail."

I had to go into the ruined temple.

Liu's father was also polite to King Shen and said: "Please sit down, Your Majesty."

King Shen had no choice but to turn around and sit where he was sitting before.

King Shen is still of use, and Father Liu is still very loyal to him. Seeing that King Shen was not sitting properly, he walked out of the temple gate, brought two big stones in, placed them in the temple, and asked King Shen to sit down.

It was already late at night, and the full moon had turned to the west. After running for several hours and fighting two more times, the Liu family father and son were tired. Liu's father took out some water and said to King Shen, "Please drink it, Your Majesty."

King Shen said: "Two knights have invited me. I am not thirsty."

The Liu family father and son felt that King Shen was under their control, so they took the water bag and drank.

King Shen was being held hostage by these two thieves. How could he not understand? He looked at Yang Shucheng, who had escorted Little Prince Fu to his house, and he recognized him. Thinking that he had not offended him very much, and knowing that he had some abilities, he looked at him.

Yang Shucheng's hands were tied and he could not escape. Now that he saw King Shen looking at him as if he was asking for help, he looked back at him firmly and immediately looked away.

King Shen was not a fool. Seeing that Yang Shucheng was not afraid, he thought he had other plans, so he slowly settled down and waited to see what opportunities there would be in the future before making any plans.

This Liu's father said that he wanted to discuss specific matters with King Shen, but if he had any matters, he just used him to plan his own affairs. Now that he saw that King Shen was honest, he didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just sat and closed his eyes. With his eyes resting and his mind resting, he waited until dawn before taking the Shen Dynasty hostage and heading north.

The moon was already setting in the west, and the night wind was blowing on them, making them feel cold. Several people had their own thoughts, and no one could sleep. They just closed their eyes and silently counted the passage of time.

The mountain wind blows through the treetops, making a sound like the waves of the sea, without rest. At this time, a flute sound suddenly sounded, which was particularly clear and loud in this silent night.

The four of them were not sleepy at all. Suddenly they heard the sound of a flute in the remote mountains and ridges. They all became energetic and sat still, listening to the sound of the flute.

Yang Shucheng lay still, listening to the sound of the flute. He thought it sounded good, but he didn't know what the music was. As I listened, my heart suddenly moved.
