Come on, Your Highness

Lu Xueliang's face was gloomy, and the second young master Lu on the opposite side was still crying heartbreakingly.

After all, he has seen his nephew and niece since he was a child. If possible, he still hopes to save them, otherwise he will not be able to explain to his brother when he goes back, and he is also afraid of being reprimanded by Cheng Enhou.

It's just that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the torch doesn't dare to stretch it outside. If it wasn't for the kerosene poured on it, it might die in an instant.

He was anxious in his heart, the King of England used his nephew and niece as a shield, but he himself hid in the cabin, in such a stalemate, once the heavy rain came, not to mention the King of England, even himself would be in danger.

Must fight fast!

Lu Xueliang lowered his eyes, licked his lips, and made up his mind after weighing the pros and cons.

In any case, the King of England is the biggest hidden danger, and it must be eliminated quickly!

Suddenly, someone pointed to a place behind and shouted: "Third Master, look, there is a ship coming!"

Lu Xueliang then looked over, and in such bad weather, there were a few boats sailing with the wind, approaching with shaking and bumps.

Lu Xueliang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Whose family is it?"

In the dark night, the torches were difficult to see clearly, only the wind lantern hanging on the bow of the ship was still providing light faithfully.

Finally someone said pleasantly: "Third Master, it's Mr. Lang!"

Lu Xueliang's heart immediately relaxed when he heard this, Mr. Lang came over at this time, obviously carrying Cheng Enhou's order.

The current situation is just right for him to make up his mind.

When the boat approached, Mr. Lang shouted before he had time to get on the boat: "Third Master, Lord Hou orders, don't worry about Miss and Young Master, you must kill King Ying, and everyone on the ship must not be left alive!"

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Xueliang was stunned, and looked back at the second young master who had lost his voice but still persisted in asking for help, feeling infinitely regretful in his heart.

Mr. Lang said: "Jiangdong guards have surrounded Cheng'enhou's mansion, third master, the Lu family is desperate, if you let King Ying go, you will surely die!"

Jiangdong Guards?

Where did it come from?

He suddenly remembered that the young master had mentioned that General Huang and the four dandies were jealous in the brothel... It's a pity that no one cared about it at the time.

This is……

"Third Master, it's too late!" Mr. Lang's sudden reminder brought Lu Xueliang back to his senses. He no longer looked at his nephew and niece, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow! Shoot me the arrow! If you kill him, no one will be left alive! "

He roared out with all his strength, the shout broke through the howling wind, and all the nearby ships could hear it clearly, including the boat.

The second young master and fifth young lady standing at the bow of the boat suddenly turned pale, unbelievable and terrified, when they saw the flaming arrows shooting towards them.

"Get down!"

The guards behind them pressed them to the deck.

In the windy weather, the aim of shooting arrows was not very high, but because of the favorable wind, the speed of the arrows accelerated, and they were nailed to the deck behind them an inch deep.

The rocket that didn't go out halfway hit the curtain and other soft objects, and immediately caught fire. When the wind blew, it swept across the top of the ship in an instant.

The brothers and sisters were too frightened to move, the fifth young lady couldn't hold on anymore, she rolled her eyes and pouted immediately, while the second young master didn't faint from fright, but he also peed on his pants.

The guards threw them into the cabin and gathered towards Xiao Hong's place.

The painting boat was already on fire, and the King of England had to come out of the wing with his guards.

Under such firelight, the situation inside can be seen very clearly.

In order to fascinate Fifth Miss, Xiao Hong dressed up brightly, which was really eye-catching. As soon as he came out, he was baptized by the arrows.

Fortunately, the accuracy is limited, and there are not many injuries to the hands.

The surrounding boats were quickly gathering, and the Lu family's thugs stood on them. Under the light of the fire and the strong wind, their faces were grim and distorted.

Screaming and terrified voices came and went in the boat, and finally some survivors couldn't bear it and jumped off the boat.

"Scatter and jump off the boat!" Lu Feng shouted, before the next round of arrows came, all the guards and servants gathered in twos and jumped into the water in unison.

"Fire the arrows, don't let them go!" Lu Xueliang followed the order.

The rain of arrows blindly shot into the water, bringing up strands of blood, but in such a dark night, it merged with the water, and it was impossible to see if anyone was hit by the arrow.

After a while, one body after another floated up on the surface of the water, floating in the lake.

Lu Xueliang and Mr. Lang widened their eyes and tried their best to distinguish among them, but they didn't see the conspicuous clothes after all.

In the dark night, the black clouds suppressed the surface of the lake, and the boat caught fire, dimly illuminating the surrounding waters.

The people who fell into the water kept struggling and crying, disturbing the ripples of the lake.

"Don't keep alive! Shoot me, find King Ying, and kill him!" Lu Xueliang shouted hoarsely, lying on the eaves of the boat and staring at the lake for a moment.

As soon as there was a movement of tumbling, several clusters of arrows shot over, penetrated the water, and brought up the corpse of a hedgehog.

However, there is still no King of England!

I don't know when a small amount of rain fell from the sky and hit my face.

The rain was too light, and when it was hard to distinguish whether it was rain or lake water splashing, it didn't last for three breaths, and it became denser and denser.

The long-awaited rainstorm is finally here!

"Quick, look carefully, where is the King of England!"

In stormy weather, the rain can pour down without a cup of tea, the ship shakes more violently, and there are constant waves splashing onto the deck. If you don't return at this moment, you may be in danger.

Mr. Lang and Lu Xueliang were extremely anxious, but if they let King Ying go at this time, it would be like throwing the Lu family into hell!

"They won't last long underwater, they will definitely surface and look for them in the distance!" Mr. Lang said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from a side ship shouted: "Here, the King of England is here!"

Lu Xueliang tore his throat sharply: "Shoot him to death!"

The dense arrows suddenly pierced through the air...

He Xichao's eyes were hit by a raindrop, causing him to close his eyes subconsciously. The rain was so heavy that it hurt his eyes.

Then the rain became heavier and heavier, and it became pouring in an instant.

There are no street lamps of later generations, only relying on the torches in the hands, under the heavy storm, even if there is fire oil, it gradually goes out.

On the edge of Fairy Lake, there were no boats on the lake at this moment. In the dark night, facing the ocean-like lake, He Xichao felt fear for the first time. The not-so-cold weather made him shiver all over.

He staggered under his feet, and a young general grabbed him, so he didn't plunge into the lake.

"Master He, I'm afraid we are late!" This is General Huang's vanguard officer, surnamed Zhuang, facing the invisible lake, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I should have arrived long ago, but On the way, we encountered officers and soldiers from the Jiangzhou government to stop us, but unexpectedly, we were one step too late."

He Xichao seemed to have been drained of strength from his whole body, and sat down on the ground, splashing water.

His whole body was soaked, under the heavy rain, his whole body seemed to be soaked in water. He had never been so embarrassed in his life.

But he didn't care about these things, his stomach hurt, Xiao Hong punched him still had sequelae, he suddenly retched.

"Master He..." The guard beside him hurriedly helped him up worriedly.

However, He Xichao grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and said forcefully, "Let's set off to find him!"

"Master He!" Pioneer Officer frowned, reluctantly, "It's raining and windy at the moment, the torches won't burn, and we can't see the direction at all. How can we find it? I'm afraid we won't be able to come back if we don't find His Highness!"

"Lord Zhuang!" He Xichao suddenly raised his head to look at him. It was difficult to open his eyes in the heavy rain, but he just looked straight at the vanguard officer and said sharply, "That is His Royal Highness, the emperor's most beloved son! You Now he is afraid of his life and refuses to go to him, if there is something wrong with him...Master Zhuang, the emperor is in pain for losing his son, do you, General Huang, think that the entire Jiangdong Army will be safe and sound?"

The vanguard officer paused for a moment when he heard the words, but he didn't let it scare him, and asked instead: "Master He, do you want to die?"

He Xichao smiled coldly, "If I can't save His Highness, I'll just jump down!"

The vanguard officer choked suddenly, with hesitation on his face.

He Xichao's face was pale, but his eyes were burning. He stared straight at the vanguard officer and said: "The emperor was afraid that something would happen to His Royal Highness, so he gave the Tiger Talisman an imperial decree. This kind of honor is rare in the history books! His Highness sent someone to dispatch troops! However, This can't protect him, Mr. Zhuang, even if I don't jump into the lake, we can't run away either! The Lu family is in the border of Jiangdong, they have committed such evil things, don't you Jiangdong army know?"

The last sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting the vanguard officer's heart.

Let the King of England be safe, and if something goes wrong, the Jiangdong Army will not report it, deceive the superior and conceal it, and the rescue will be slow... If you are charged with one crime after another, your fate will not be much better than that of the Lu family.

How could the emperor who lost his son hear so many explanations!

Thinking of this, the vanguard officer looked pale, wiped his face and shouted: "Come on, untie the boat, and follow me to rescue His Royal Highness the King of England!"

"Xiao Hong..." He Xichao was sitting on the bow of the boat, his heart was like this swaying boat, he had nowhere to go, "It's agreed, we will be together for the rest of our lives..."

In the dark night, distant islands could be vaguely seen, and He Xichao remembered his position after leaving the boat.

Under the wind, if the boat moves forward with the big waves, the speed will be very fast.

However, just as the boat left the shore, someone shouted: "General, there is a boat ahead!"

"More than one!"

He Xichao stood up and held on to the side of the boat due to his unsteady standing. He tried his best to distinguish the approaching boats ahead.

There were faint lights in the cabins of those ships, but they were also staggering, flickering and flickering.

It was too dark around, and they didn't realize that it was Lu's boat, not a painting boat until the boat was in front of them!

How could the Lu family give up and return without killing Xiao Hong?

He Xichao looked at Lu Xueliang and Mr. Lang who came out, and his heart suddenly became cold.

When a big wave hit, several ships swayed and swayed in place, and no matter how they adjusted their bearings, it was useless.

He Xichao was distracted, he lost his grip, and fell onto the deck, flung from one end to the other, his waist slammed against the ship's side, not to mention, the splashing waves of the lake even drenched his head. The pain was so painful that gold stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted from the pain again.

For the first time, he hated himself so much for being lazy and refusing to exercise properly. The weak scholar is a burden at this time.

The vanguard officer stepped up to him and shouted: "Master He, come back! We can't reach His Highness in this state, and we can't fight against the wind and rain!"

He Xichao reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see the helplessness and intolerance in the eyes of the vanguard officer, looking at the Lu family boat in front of him and saying: "Master He, let's talk about taking down the Lu family first."

Under the icy sword of the Jiangdong Army, Lu's boats docked and stepped off the splint one by one.

Lu Xueliang and Mr. Lang were heartbroken, and said to He Xichao: "His Royal Highness is gone..."

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the strong wind was howling, as if it was going to lift the window frame together.

Cheng Enhou faced General Huang who broke in with a knife, but his face did not change.

No matter what crime Cheng Enhou is charged with, he is still a respectable Lord Marquis before the emperor issued his will.

The two sat quietly facing each other. Except for the wind and rain, they could only hear the cries outside one after another, as well as the armor crashing with the soldiers running, coming and going. Obviously, the Jiangdong Army was gathering all the people in the mansion. .

Cheng Enhou picked up the tea and suddenly asked, "Why is General Huang here?"

General Huang said flatly: "I have accepted the holy order."

"If you want to mobilize the local army, you still need a soldier talisman. It can be seen that His Majesty really trusts and loves the eldest son." Cheng Enhou said with emotion, and there was deep regret in his eyes.

General Huang frowned, looking out of the window from time to time, then he turned his head and said to the lieutenant general, "Send someone out to take a look."

At this moment, the soldiers came in and announced, "General, the young general is back!"

General Huang's face suddenly softened, as if half of his heart had been relieved, and he asked: "Where is the fairy lake, does the vanguard officer have any news?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." Cheng Enhou's voice suddenly came from behind.

General Huang's expression changed, he turned his head suddenly, and asked sternly, "What do you mean by that, Master Hou?"

Cheng Enhou's expression didn't change, but he sighed and said: "In such a windy and rainy weather, you should go back to your residence when the wind and cloud change, but if you are greedy for the beautiful scenery and beauty, and forget yourself, I'm afraid... something unexpected will happen!"

General Huang just laughed angrily, "Master Hou, what you mean is that His Highness sent a message to the last general to rush to the rescue, but he still has the mind to fall in love with your lady?"

Cheng Enhou smiled slightly and said: "Today's Qixi Festival, I saw that His Highness is very interested, and I agree with the fifth girl, so I arranged to go out and play together. Everything is very normal. I still wonder why the general suddenly surrounded the Hou's mansion, thinking that it might be one of them. Is there a misunderstanding?"

General Huang said coldly: "Your Majesty, it is useless to argue any more. Your Highness is in danger. The guards of the Imperial Army risked their lives to come out of the city to send the tiger amulet and the imperial decree. Your Highness's handwriting will have already been sent to the capital eight hundred miles away. If Your Highness The fate of the Lu family in peace depends on whether the emperor cares about the past, if His Highness is murdered, the Lu family will wipe out the nine clans, and Ling Chi's death is not an exaggeration!"

Cheng Enhou picked up the tea, held back his almost trembling hands, and said calmly: "The general thinks that within eight hundred li, can you reach the emperor in a hurry?"

General Huang narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Enhou stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the trees and flowers blown by wind and rain outside the window, and said softly: "At this point today, the Lu family has long thought that there will be such a day, so naturally they have made arrangements, whether it is It is not easy for anyone to send letters from Jiangdong to the capital to reach Yuqian. After so many years of operation, the power in the court is still somewhat old."

General Huang looked at Cheng Enhou in astonishment when he heard the words, but in the blink of an eye he sneered, "As expected of Lord Lv Hou, he is very scheming, but no matter whether His Highness is safe or not, the general will report to the emperor in every detail!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Enhou smiled: "General, do you think that if His Highness is unlucky, you will be safe and sound? The Jiangdong Army came to save you too late, and you didn't report everything that the Lu family did, which put His Highness in danger. The pain of the emperor's bereavement can't be too much."

General Huang's eyes were fixed on Cheng Enhou, but his heart was pounding.

"Father, don't be fooled by this old man." Suddenly, a ruffian voice came from behind, and Huang Qi walked in, "The Lu family is in Luozi County, as long as we don't rebel or conspire against the army, we will be shut down in Jiangdong." What about the military? Shouldn’t the prefect and the governor of Jiangzhou report what they committed? If our military officer handed over the papers, he would have stretched his hand too far and exceeded the rules.”

General Huang came back to his senses immediately, and patted his son on the shoulder.

"Father, you and your son have several letters from His Highness, and we all acted according to His Highness's instructions. Even if we couldn't rescue His Highness, at most we would be reprimanded by the Emperor. Let's plan together, okay?" Huang Qi said, looking at Cheng Enhou, he clasped his fists and bowed, "I'm afraid Hou Ye will persuade father and the Lu family to prepare to hide the truth and push His Highness's misfortune to an accident. no?"

Cheng Enhou closed his eyes and sighed: "Although that is the case, did the emperor have the sense to control whether to exceed the rules at that time?"

The dying struggle was full of loopholes, and he was betting on General Huang's hesitation to give the Lu family a chance.

He Xichao was taken back to Lu's house in a state of desperation, and walked in with the rain dripping all the way.

As soon as he came back, the dandy and the scholars approached one after another, and they followed Huang Qi, all safe and sound.

Just seeing He Xichao's appearance, everyone's hearts sank, and they didn't dare to ask another word.

During the day, so many people surrounded His Highness to leave, but in the end only He Xichao came back alone. This situation did not allow them to think of the worst outcome.

"Master..." Ah Fu greeted him with a set of clean clothes in his hands. He has stayed at Lu's house and never left.

Such a stormy weather will be difficult to rescue even in future generations.

Let alone this backward ancient times?

He Xichao was preoccupied with Lu Xueliang telling them that Xiao Hong was dead, pretending to be sad.

Xiao Hong is dead...

The person he liked the most, the person he relied on the most, the person who went to the grave with him... died...

He walked sluggishly and mechanically. At this moment, He Xichao really experienced what it feels like when the sky is falling!What does it mean to have no sky and no hope!

Doesn't he claim to be smart?Isn't everything under control?Can't you see through human nature?

Then why, Xiao Hong is still gone?

Tears flowed down his cheeks, He Xichao gritted his teeth to stop the choking, but even more so, uncontrollable crying still leaked from his nasal cavity.

After that, it was as if the gate had been opened and could never be closed again.

He held on to the door frame and ignored everyone's eyes, sat down and sobbed, crying out of breath in an instant.

Regret was like a knife, stabbing into his heart and twisting it hard.

Good prince, why don't you cure the water and stay in the capital safely?What kind of justice is being upheld, what do those people care about him, it won't delay his becoming a prince!

Where did he get the confidence, where did he get the confidence to keep Xiao Hong safe?

Don't even look at who is protecting whom?

When He Xichao thought of Xiao Hong's questioning before being knocked out, his heart was pierced.

Didn't you say you want to be together?

Yes, don't we want to be together?

Who broke his promise first?

He slapped the door frame hard, heartbroken and desperate.

Being a human being in two lives, the first time hurts my heart.

Faint sobbing came from around, but it was these scholars who saw He Xichao's heartbroken and crazy appearance, couldn't help crying together.

They didn't dare to comfort him, so they could only cry together.

It is said that men do not flick their tears easily, but now, what else can they do besides cry?

Ah Fu was even more confused: "Master...don't be like this, think about Auntie, she is still waiting for you to go back..."

He Xichao paused slightly, then turned to look at him: "Mother?"

"Yes, yes, you are the only auntie!"

However, He Xichao laughed and cried: "She only has me...but I only have him!"

From childhood to adulthood, Li Yuechan could not give him to rely on, only Xiao Hong, following the promise when he entered the palace, protected him anytime and anywhere, tolerated him, and loved him.

Xiao Hong's voice and smile flowed through his eyes one by one, so clear, as if he was right beside him.

If anyone in this world is the most important to him, only Xiao Hong.

The warmth in this life is only Xiao Hong...

Is he really dead?

He Xichao didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't believe it!

He whimpered, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, no matter how he thought, it was impossible to survive!

"Master He, General Huang is here." The guard at the door reported.

He Xichao sat on the ground with his head down and didn't move, only his shoulders twitched, as if he had just recovered.

The scholar and the young master didn't leave, they accompanied him quietly, but now they looked at each other, and they all looked at He Xichao.

What to do next, no one has a charter.

Luo Li and You Ziqing were pushed a bit, and they were about to speak, when they saw He Xichao stretching out his hand, and Ah Fu hurriedly helped him up.

When General Huang walked in with Huang Qi, he saw a room full of red eyes, as if they had just cried.

Yes, the King of England is gone, and the backer is gone. As a subordinate, I really should cry.

Only He Xichao lowered his head slightly, standing in place with a puddle of water under him, and he hadn't changed his clothes until now.

General Huang sighed, and said with concern: "Master He, even if it's not cold in summer, you'll be soaked in the rain, and the cold will enter your body. It's important to change your clothes and wash your hands first."

"Did Lv Hou ask General Huang to think about it, and defined His Highness's disappearance as an accidental death, refused to listen to dissuasion, stayed away from the shore, was greedy for beauty, wasted time, encountered a storm, and unfortunately fell into disaster?"

He Xichao's voice was hoarse, with a strong nasal voice, he raised his head, and stared sharply at General Huang with bloodshot eyes that were scarlet from crying.

At this moment, his hair was disheveled and disheveled, his clothes were sticking to his body, and his eyes were filled with hatred like a water ghost. "The general hesitated?"

General Huang was taken aback, he didn't know if it was because of his crazy appearance at the moment, or because of what was said.

Huang Qi immediately said: "It's nothing, the Lu family members committed crimes, and the evidence of murdering the King of England is solid, how can it be called an accident?"

He Xichao twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a smile: "That's good, the name of the general will not be included in the emperor's list of beheaded."

General Huang's face twitched: "How to say?"

"His Royal Highness's letter asking for help has been sent to the capital... Oh, it was sent by Lord Lu Hou himself, and it will definitely appear on the emperor's imperial case."

General Huang calmed down when he heard the words, "Master He is very resourceful."

He Xichao sneered: "It doesn't matter if you're being polite, general, whether or not His Highness... I hope you can follow my instructions." In He Xichao's eyes, the madness that was tightly locked in his eyes was slowly being released. Come out, "After the enmity between me and His Highness is over, I would like to give the general a future with my life."

The author has something to say: Xiaohong must have escaped, otherwise this book would end here, right?
