Prisoner of the Eastern Palace

The sun was shining in the afternoon, and the prince's carriage drove towards the capital of Yunle in a mighty manner. In the middle were the carriages in which the prince and Shaoqing were riding, with fifty personal guards at the front and rear.As for the other soldiers, Mu Ke felt that the number of people was too heavy, so he had sent them to the capital first.

Taking care of Luo Ange's body, every time the Prince's car drove slowly, it was unhurried, with the emphasis on being stable.

Luo Ange also gradually got used to it, as long as the road is not bumpy, there will be no symptoms of dizziness and nausea.

The carriage was traveling on a forest path. Looking out from the window, there were endless mountains in the distance, and lush forests nearby. Occasionally, one or two hares could be seen running from the roadside to the bushes. I was startled by the sound of horseshoes.

The sunshine outside was good, Luo Ange simply set up the window, lazily rested his head on the window lattice, and looked outside to enjoy the scenery.

Here is a wild birch forest, and the swaying shadows of the trees are very pleasing to the eye. Luo Ange was a little sleepy under the sun, narrowed his eyes slightly, and yawned.

At this moment, a black figure flashed across the field of vision, as if someone was riding a horse through the forest.

Luo Ange was taken aback for a moment, then woke up for a moment, sat up straight suddenly, stuck his head out of the car window, and looked behind, but couldn't see it again.

Luo Ange didn't care too much, maybe he was blindsided, it might just be a deer.Even if it is really a person riding a horse, it is not surprising. This road is a shortcut from Jiangxia to the capital, and it is normal for someone to walk from here.

The only thing that puzzled Luo Ange was, why did that man ride a horse through the woods instead of following the right path?

Luo Ange was wondering, when Mu Ke suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind, and handed him a cup of tea, "What are you looking at? So fascinated?"

Luo Ange shook his head, took a sip from the teacup, and it still had the familiar sweet taste from before.He sat up straight and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, the scenery outside is not bad."

Mu Ke smiled, "It's just trees and grass, what's there to see? You might as well take a nap now, and when you get to the capital, you'll have to be busy again at night, so you won't have time to sleep."

Luo Ange held the teacup and rolled his eyes at him, drank the rest of the tea, licked his lips, and said angrily: "I'm young, and I can still get up, why do you keep me sleeping?"

Mu Ke smiled, but didn't answer.

Of course he has his own selfish intentions. Since Luo Ange always recovers his memories in his dreams, he certainly wants him to sleep a little longer, not to mention letting Luo Ange drink tea with medicine just now. If he goes to sleep at this time, Perhaps the chances of dreaming about the past are higher.

Anyway, the medicine Qian Huan found is still somewhat effective. Mu Ke wondered if he should give some rewards, how about helping him expand the teahouse several times?

Just as he was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, and Mu Ke felt a little strange that it was not time to reach the capital so early.

A guard outside lifted the curtain of the car and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, there is something blocking the way ahead."

Mu Ke glanced at Luo Ange, saw him lazily leaning half on the low couch, his eyes half-closed, as if he was too lazy to move, so he whispered to the guard: "I'll go and see, the carriage Stop here first, let the people outside keep their voices down, so as not to disturb Shaoqing's rest."

Jinwei nodded, and took Mu Ke a few steps forward.

Seeing the prince coming down in person, the guards below hurriedly made way for him. Mu Ke saw two scorched rotten logs lying in the middle of the road, blocking the road tightly.

Mu Ke took a look and guessed: "It probably rained a few days ago and was struck by lightning and fell down. Just find two people to come and carry it away."

There was a person behind him leading the way, calling two stronger ones to come and carry the wood.

Mu Ke was about to go back to the carriage when he caught a glimpse of the broken part of the tree trunk from the corner of his eye. It turned out to be smooth and flat? !

Mu Ke instantly understood that the tree was not struck down by lightning, but cut down artificially and placed in the middle of the road to hinder them.

Mu Ke's eyes turned cold, and he was about to tell people to be on guard, beware of assassins, when suddenly a thick white mist rose from the side of the carriage, and it diffused in an instant, covering the entire carriage.

"Oops!" Mu Ke didn't expect the enemy's target to be Luo Ange who was left in the carriage, and his heart arose for a moment, and he sternly called for defense.

Luo Ange in the carriage was falling asleep when he suddenly heard noises outside, sat up straight in a daze, and opened the curtains to see what was going on.

As a result, as soon as the curtain was opened, a large cloud of white smoke poured in, choking people to cough.

Luo Ange became vigilant all of a sudden, screamed that it was not good, and hurried to lift the curtain to get out of the carriage.

Before his hand touched the curtain, he suddenly heard a scream from outside, it seemed to be the driver driving the carriage, and then someone lifted the curtain, and a tall figure appeared in the thick fog.

It is definitely not Mu Ke who came in at this time, Luo Ange was on guard, holding the small dagger at his waist for self-defense, and was about to ask who it was, but the man moved closer, and Luo Ange managed to see clearly His face was stunned.

"...Lu Zhi?!"

At the moment when he was stunned, Mei Luzhi covered Luo Ange's face with a veil soaked in anesthetic.

Luo Ange suddenly opened his eyes wide, struggled a few times, his fingernails scratched a bloodstain on the back of his hand, and after the sweat medicine took effect, his body slowly softened, he closed his eyes, and became silent.

Without further ado, before the smoke dissipated and the guards surrounded, Mei Luzhi hugged Luo Ange horizontally, whistled, and a tall horse rushed out from the woods.

Mei Luzhi put the unconscious Luo Ange on the horse's back, then grabbed the rein and jumped on the horse, raised the whip, and the big black horse under his crotch let out a long sigh, and started to gallop in a blink of an eye. It disappeared into the dense forest.

The white mist over there finally dissipated, but there was no one in the carriage.

Mu Ke stared at the empty carriage with red eyes, and punched the board of the car, and a piece of the solid wood board was dented in an instant.

He gritted his teeth and ordered sharply: "Everyone, chase after him immediately! Even if we turn this place upside down, I must find him!"

……

Luo Ange's head was dizzy, his eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he vaguely felt that he was on the back of a horse, his stomach was pinched by the hard saddle, his head was turned down, and he felt nauseous.

The body seemed to be next to a person, and that person was riding a horse... It was also the person who hijacked himself from the carriage.

Mei Luzhi? !

Luo Ange suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness finally became clear at this moment.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, he was still drowsy in the carriage, and then the carriage stopped, and Mu Ke got out of the carriage for some reason, followed by a cloud of white smoke, and then...he saw this The man who had left him for so many days made his heart sour.

Luo Ange turned his head to look at him with difficulty. From his angle, he could barely see a small part of Mei Luzhi's side face and the pinnae of his ears. It was impossible to see what his expression was and why he was kidnapped.

Luo Ange didn't think that Mei Luzhi wanted to save him, after all, when this man left, his face looked as if he wanted to kill him.In Mei Lu's heart, he was already a traitor who betrayed his country and sought glory, how could he come to save him?

Could it be that Mei Luzhi planned to take himself as a hostage to blackmail Mu Ke?

Thinking of this, Luo Ange panicked, and immediately struggled, but his hands were tied behind his back, and during the violent struggle, he fell off the bumpy horse and rolled on the grass After several laps, it hit a tree trunk before barely coming to a stop.

Startled, Mei Lu hurriedly reined in the horse, got off the horse and went to check on Luo Ange's situation.

Luo Ange didn't suffer any injuries, but looked at Mei Luzhi in surprise, opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

Mei Luzhi was a little thinner than when he left, and his eyes also changed, becoming very strange, Luo Ange hardly dared to recognize him.

Luo Ange was stunned for a while, before hesitatingly said: "Lu Zhi, you, what do you want to do?"

Mei Luzhi's eyes were extremely complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was disgust, regret, or hatred. He just took a deep look at Luo Ange, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, and got on the horse, "I want to take you to do it." What you should have done a long time ago, Luo Xiaozheng."

His voice was very cold. Luo Ange had hardly heard Mei Luzhi talk to him like this before. The two had been classmates since childhood and grew up together. They were supposed to be best friends.

Luo Ange tried to break free from the rope in his hand, but the rope was tied very tightly. Mei Luzhi held the rein in his hand and stared at the front without looking back, "Don't waste your efforts, you can't break free."

Luo Ange took a breath, and said in a low voice: "Mu Ke will come to me, and then you..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Luo Ange knew that Mei Luzhi could understand.

At the beginning, he spent so much effort to save him, Luo Ange didn't want Mei Luzhi to fall into Mu Ke's hands again.

He is very clear about the prince's temperament, this time no matter how much he begs or persuades, Mu Ke will never let Mei Luzhi go.

After hearing this, Mei Luzhi just smiled, and his voice was even slightly satisfied, "It's okay, Xiaozheng, you don't have to worry about this anymore."

Luo Ange was taken aback for a moment, then Mei Luzhi continued: "Because I will die with you, no one will be alone on the road to Huangquan."

Luo Ange turned pale with shock, hurriedly raised his body, and looked ahead with difficulty: the direction that Mei Luzhi was going seemed to lead to the Tiantai on the outskirts of the city!

"You, do you want to kill me?"

"It's not that I think, Xiaozheng, it's you who should die." Mei Luzhi looked at the front without blinking, with a stern expression, "Look at what you look like now, committed to the enemy, disloyal and unfaithful, How can there be a monarch?!"

"I..." Luo Ange was speechless, in the eyes of outsiders, he might indeed look like that, but...

"But, Lu Zhi, don't we just want the people of Yunle to live a better life? Now the crown prince is willing to work hard to save Yunle, help with disaster relief, and develop farming. Now the lives of the people are much better than before, why should we bother?" ..."

Luo Ange tried hard to persuade, hoping to persuade Mei Luzhi from his obsession.

"Shut up!" Mei Luzhi scolded coldly, "Stop making excuses for your greed for life and fear of death, it makes me sick! What did we learn from elementary school? The way of the monarch, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies when the country dies!"

Luo Ange was dumbfounded.

Presumably, I thought of Mei Luzhi back then, stubborn, ignorant, and stubborn.At that time, how did Mu Ke patiently explain himself and change himself.

Mei Luzhi is more stubborn than himself, no matter how much he persuades him, he can't make him turn back.

Luo Ange closed his eyes, his nose sore.

Mu Ke's figure involuntarily came to mind, Luo Ange bit his lip, calling his name in his heart.

Mu Ke, save me, I don't want to die...
