At this time, people coming out of the Observation Pavilion were walking towards their residences one after another. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.

The emperor was drinking with them in the Observation Pavilion just now, how come he has become a hostage now!

"Han Feng! Go get the horse and save His Majesty!" Xiao Yu, who had been silent for a long time, gave an order to Han Feng.

"Yes, Han Feng, give them the horses quickly!" The emperor's body tensed and he quickly echoed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Feng replied.

Seeing so many people coming around, Su Heng began to feel uneasy.

This person who suddenly appeared must die today in order to clear himself from this incident.

After something like this happened, these subordinates could not be kept alive and had to be killed in front of the emperor in order to prove their innocence.

"Commander Han, you can't give it to me!"

Su Heng stopped Han Feng and retorted coldly, "What if they take His Majesty away? How can we save His Majesty? Your Majesty is their amulet here. They dare not touch a hair of His Majesty. We will find a chance to save His Majesty."

Hearing Su Heng's words, Han Feng stopped and looked at the emperor.

"Su Heng, you are rebelling!" the emperor shouted angrily.

Su Heng explained to the emperor earnestly, "Your Majesty will die if you leave. Your Majesty, please trust me, and I will definitely save you."

Xiao Yu looked at Su Heng fiercely and asked, "Prime Minister Su, you don't want to release them, do you want to force them to do something?"

Su Heng's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he loudly retorted: "Xiao Yu, stop talking nonsense! How could I possibly put His Majesty in danger!"

"They only want to use their brother to exchange for a chance to live, but you want to force them to die here. Can you control and predict what they will do in desperation?!"

"Or you just wanted to do this!"

Xiao Yu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily.

The emperor's trust in Su Heng was completely shattered.

Everyone knows that Su Heng is the prince's uncle. As long as the emperor dies, the prince can succeed to the throne, and Su Heng is the emperor's uncle, second only to the emperor.

He even became the regent of Daning by manipulating the crown prince.

The emperor shouted urgently, "Su Heng, I order you to give them horses!"

Su Heng knelt down heavily and pleaded: "Your Majesty, no! If you give them horses, who can protect your safety?"

"I can do it!"

Xiao Yu took a step forward with his sword in hand, and said while clutching his chest: "Commander Han will follow me, along with a hundred imperial guards. If your majesty lives, we will retreat. If your majesty dies, Commander Han and the hundred imperial guards will not be pushovers."

"I agree! As long as you let us go, I won't make things difficult for the emperor." Ji Tang replied, and then asked the emperor he held hostage, "What do you think?"

The emperor was a little afraid of Xiao Yu, but when he heard Xiao Yu say that he was with Han Feng, he let down his guard.

"I agree!"

He turned to look at Han Feng, "Commander Han, give them the horses!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Han Feng responded and went out.

Su Heng gritted his teeth and stood up, staring at Xiao Yu viciously, "Are you trying to help your men escape?"

Xiao Yu's words completely shattered the loyalty of these men in black towards Su Heng.

Su Heng really didn't intend to let them go and planned to force them to death here!

Since Su Heng is unkind, don't blame them for being unjust.

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to speak, the leader of the men in black started laughing.

"Haha, don't you want to know who our master is?"

"My master is..."

Seeing that something was wrong, the leader of the men in black had not yet finished speaking when an arrow pierced his chest and he fell to the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth!

Seeing this, Xiao Yu covered his chest with his hands, and asked calmly, "Prime Minister Su, are you trying to silence them? There are still so many, can you kill them all?"

"Besides, His Majesty is still in their hands. Do you really not care?"

The remaining men in black were all terrified. Only then did they understand why Su Heng treated them like this.

It's obvious that he wanted to kill people to silence them.

Seeing the miserable state of their leader, they dared not say anything.

They didn't want to die yet, and seeing that Ji Tang was still holding the emperor hostage, they began to slowly move closer to Ji Tang.

At this time, the ministers who were watching on the side also roughly understood what was going on.

Since the emperor was in the hands of the criminals, they dared not say much.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Yu told Caidie and Caiyi, "You two take the princess back first, I'll be back soon!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two answered in unison.

Caiyi looked at Ji Tang not far away with red eyes, her pretty brows furrowed.

Ji Tang seemed to sense something and turned his head to meet her eyes. Before Caiyi could see the emotions in his eyes, he looked away in an instant.

Xiao Yu saw the subtle relationship between the two and said to Cai Yi in a deep voice, "Don't look! He is doing this to protect us. Don't let him have any worries. Take the princess back now!"

Caiyi's eyes were red as she carried Su Lingyue on her back, while Caidie supported her from the side.

After a while, Han Feng prepared the horse.

Ji Tang held the emperor hostage and walked outside with the men in black.

Yan Qing and Yun Ting supported Xiao Yu and followed behind with Han Feng.

Outside the temple, Ji Tang pressed the emperor's acupoints and placed him on horseback.

He jumped on his horse, and the other men in black followed.

Yun Ting helped Xiao Yu onto the horse, and Han Feng and a hundred imperial guards followed behind on horseback.

Yan Qing and Yun Ting were worried, so they also came with two horses to follow Xiao Yu.

The group traveled smoothly all the way and arrived at the foot of Longhua Mountain.

At this time, the snow at the foot of the mountain had completely melted, and the road was much easier to walk on.

They walked more than ten miles towards the posthouse before Ji Tang, who was holding the emperor hostage, stopped.

Ji Tang looked at the emperor and said in a deep voice, "I am not going to kill you today, not because you are a good emperor, but because I don't want to fulfill Su Heng's wish. We all want to see what will happen to Su Heng. Don't let us down!"

After saying that, he threw the emperor heavily to the ground!

Ji Tang glanced ahead. It was pitch black, with only a section of the road lit by torches.

He looked back and saw Xiao Yu, dressed in black, blending into the moonlight, with only his pale face visible.

No matter how long it takes, as long as it can bring the master a moment of happiness, it will be considered a repayment.

Ji Tang looked ahead and shouted, "Brothers! Follow me!"

"yes, Sir!"

The sound echoed in the dark valley.

There was the sound of rapid horse hooves, and Ji Tang, along with dozens of men in black, left the place at a very fast speed.

Seeing that the emperor had been released, Han Feng and Xiao Yu quickly came to the emperor with the imperial guards.

Han Feng dismounted and untied the emperor's acupuncture points, then helped him stand up. He looked him over and asked, "Is your majesty injured?"

The emperor shook his head, his eyes passed over Han Feng, staring straight at Xiao Yu who was supported by two guards behind him, and slowly walked towards him.

"I thought you would take the opportunity to kill me!" The emperor stared at Xiao Yu with a scrutinizing gaze, emanating the majesty of an emperor, as if he could see through him.

Xiao Yu covered his chest with a pale face, and looked into the emperor's eyes. Without dodging, he calmly replied, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I have never killed the emperor before, and I will not do so now, and I will never do so in the future!"

The emperor stared at him coldly, "I hope so!"

Then, he seemed to remember something and asked coldly, "Didn't you take poison? Why are you still alive?"

Xiao Yu looked at the emperor calmly, with a mocking smile on his lips, "Thanks to your majesty, I have been taking poison for many years. Ordinary poisons are ineffective against me!"

The emperor looked at him coldly and said nothing more. He mounted his horse and walked towards Longhua Temple with Han Feng and the others.

Xiao Yu looked at the emperor's back with a gloomy look.

How can the pain of death compare to the pain of being alive and having to watch power slip away from your hands!
