Are you hungry for the throne?

Chapter 49 An Yuan: The next step is to rely on His Majesty

The inner city was quickly put under martial law, and the streets were full of patrolling officers and soldiers.Now, "common people" can finally stop appearing on the streets.Ancheng seems to have recovered, its original appearance.

Snowflakes fell in the sky at some point, and the sun was hidden behind the black clouds.Occasionally, the neighing of horses and the sound of trampling horseshoes could be heard in the street, and those ministers who escaped by chance were arrested.Those who were not caught, Xu died, Xu escaped by luck.

Perhaps it was because of the hard work just now that Xing Zheng didn't let his subordinates kill these people, but threw them into the dungeon.Obviously, Xing Zheng's attention is now on An Yuan and Yuan Qi.

Only when these two people are dead can he feel at ease.How to deal with the remaining people at that time is not what he wants.

As a result, Liu Qing, the prefect of Ancheng, and others were thrown into the dungeon, and they could live for a while longer.

In the dungeon, maybe the guards are too big-hearted.These ministers were thrown into a cell together, and they were not even searched.Few of them were whole, and all of them were more or less injured.

They didn't yell and barely talked.There are officials from the capital, as well as local officials from Ancheng.At the same time, their minds are chaotic.At that time, the situation was urgent, and they only cared about running for their lives, and there was no time to think too much.

After finally escaping, he even started to hide, and was quickly caught again.

Why did King An take His Majesty hostage?And why did the chief bookkeeper order them to be killed?Thinking of this, most people already understand it in their hearts.But he was taken aback by his own thoughts.

They looked at Liu Qing who was huddled in a corner with deep bloodstains on his shoulders, with hatred in their eyes.They didn't need to ask Liu Qing anything at all, from the attitude of those people dragging Liu Qing and throwing him in prison, to Liu Qing's frightened and dazed expression.They already understood that this Liu Qing, like them, had no knowledge of today's events.

But they still couldn't help but vent their anger on Liu Qing, because the chief bookkeeper was Liu Qing's subordinate.

The master's ambition is so great, even as a boss, he didn't realize it.This is the boss's dereliction of duty!Those who died because of this today will be counted on the heads of these two people.However, since everyone doesn't know what the future holds, they will not waste energy on Liu Qing for the time being.

"You are a prefect, and you are too useless."

Someone couldn't hold back and took a bite out of Liu Qing.Liu Qing didn't refute, and didn't even raise his head.He seemed to be immersed in his own world, ignorant of the sounds of the outside world.

Liu Qing hid in the corner with his head down, not looking at anyone.There were dark red bloodstains on his shoulders, and his clothes were in tatters.His hands were groping for something in his sleeves, he didn't know what he was thinking.

The dungeon was oppressive and quiet at the beginning, and gradually there were whispers.During the chaos, someone saw King An fleeing with His Majesty.This news undoubtedly gave them a shot of stimulant, which gave them the hope of surviving.

If King An and His Majesty could escape, they would definitely not leave them alone.At that time, the 80 troops combined by the emperor and the king will definitely be able to level this Ancheng.

There were also thoughtful ministers who noticed something was wrong and vaguely guessed the reason why they were still alive.

At the same time, Xing Zheng ordered to strengthen the defense and vigilance of the outer city, and resolutely prevent anyone from entering or leaving Ancheng.

Obviously, he still had some fears in his heart if he didn't kill King An and the new emperor on the spot.I am afraid that someone who is not careful will leak the news, and the army will step to Ancheng.

In fact, Xing Zheng has already thought out a way out for himself. If King An and the new emperor die, there must be many people who want to kill him.However, once these two people die, Dayue will have no leader, and there will be chaos for a long time.Not to mention, the border is always rough.

So these two must die, and they cannot give any hope to those under them.

……

A large number of people and horses chased in the direction where An Yuan was fleeing, but the first cavalryman who chased out had already died on the snow.One of them was shot through the throat by a sharp arrow.The weapons on several people were touched, and seeing the death of the people on the ground, they had a new understanding of the seemingly "single and weak" emperor duo.

After learning that An Yuan and Yuan Qi had fled towards the manor, Xing Zheng immediately sent his men to chase after them.

Xing Zheng himself can't go, the shoulder injury is too serious.Compared with the injury to the shoulder, the blow to the heart was more serious.Obviously, the spear piercing through the air and piercing his shoulders caused a lot of shadow in his heart.

The legend turned out to be more than just a legend, and King An was really... powerful in martial arts.

Han Shan doesn't know what's going on in the city.It took a lot of effort to go out of the city, and I was almost shot into a hedgehog.The guard was shot in the back with two arrows because he wanted to protect him.

A world of ice and snow, everywhere is a vast expanse of white.I thought that the goal would be achieved after leaving the outer city, but when he really stepped on the land of the outer city, Han Shan was at a loss.

Looking at the token in his hand, he looked at the guard over there who just cut off the shaft of the arrow for the convenience of action.Next, where should he go to find Wang An's people?

King An didn't tell him...

Because of the guard's injury, there was no way to carry Han Shan on his back.Han Shan with a broken leg and injured guards, their mobility was greatly restricted.

Han Shan tapped his head with his token. He didn't know what was going on inside, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.Of course, even so, they did not stop moving forward.

However, while walking, Han Shan suddenly stopped.He stared at the token in his hand for a while, then knocked on his forehead twice.

Then, a look of joy flashed in Han Ran's eyes, and he immediately made a gesture of breaking the token.This token seems to be hollow, and is it a bit too thick?What should be hidden here?

I broke it several times, but couldn't break it.Still the one next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and took the token away from Han Shan's hand.With just a few twitches of the fingers, the token was split into two.Not broken, but taken apart.

Han Shan received the falling thing, and couldn't help but burst into tears.Wocao, this is the necessary signal flare for all kinds of ancient dramas!He is indeed the chosen one, he will not freeze to death in the snow!

……

After the flare was released, Han Shan sat down on the ground.It didn't take half a quarter of an hour before iron hooves came.Han Shan looked at the person at the front with a look of astonishment.

And that person also pulled the rein, with an indifferent expression.

The person on the horse had no distinctive appearance, but his temperament was excellent.This is in contrast to Han Shan's good looks but lack of temperament.

"You...are not dead?"

Han Shan opened his mouth to murmur, and the small voice was blown away by the wind.But the person on the horse heard it.

The man got off his horse and didn't answer Han Shan's question, but asked:

"Is it the signal you sent?"

Han Shan looked at the face that was getting closer and closer to him. This was his face, his body.Han Shan's fingers were trembling, he struggled to stand up, he couldn't care about the pain in his leg.

He thought Zhang Feng was dead, but he didn't find out any news about Zhang Feng.It turned out that Zhang Feng took refuge in King An?He had never seen such an expression on his face, Zhang Feng seemed to have made him into a different... look.

"Han Shan, why are you still distracted!"

Zhang Feng's words made Han Shan come back to his senses.Waking up suddenly, he remembered what he was doing here.He took out the token that was divided into two and handed it to Zhang Feng.

"King An and the others may be in trouble. I..." Han Shan scratched his head, suddenly not knowing what to say.

But that Zhang Feng turned around directly with the token, jumped on the horse in a few steps, and was about to leave.

Han Shan couldn't help being dazed as he watched his body make such a light-as-swallow movement.Is this... really his body?He seemed to understand why King An gave him the token.

But the person who wanted to drive away seemed to remember something, and explained something to the person next to him.The horse neighed and walked away on the snow.Han Shan's figure quickly disappeared, and Han Shan and the injured guard were also taken to the military camp where King An was temporarily stationed.

At the same time, several white pigeons flew into the sky.Han Shan looked up at the white dove gradually disappearing into the sky, and looked at the poor soldiers who were few in front of him. Just these people... just want to rush into Ancheng to save people?I'm afraid that if you can't even touch the city wall, you will become a hedgehog, right?

Han Shan guessed that the real army should be stationed not far away.Those pigeons were supposed to deliver letters.Otherwise, he couldn't imagine how the Ancheng Rebellion in history, how King An put down the rebellion.

……

Here, An Yuan and Yuan Qi had abandoned their horses and hid in the mountains.They seemed to be forced to a dead end, because there were pursuers behind them, and the top of the mountain was a cliff.

They didn't enter the mountain villa Duozang, but walked around the mountain villa halfway up the mountain and walked further up and deeper.

And the people who followed behind also entered the mountain forest.A group of five people watched the surrounding vigilantly and walked forward slowly.

No one knows the dangers of this mountain forest better than them, not only the beasts, but also the various traps they set up.These traps were supposed to keep outsiders from invading, but now they are hindering them.

But soon, the leader's eyes lit up.Because they found footprints!

However, the next moment there was a sound of breaking through the air.With a puff, he was shot in the throat.The man looked shocked, vomited blood, and fell down unwillingly.

The other four immediately drew their bows and shot towards the place where the arrow feather came from.Swish, swish, a few arrows passed, and hit the tree trunk, but missed the person.

In winter, the surroundings are all white.This is the worst place to hide people, and it is also the best place to hide people.

Just as several people were staring ahead with bated breath, a machete cut the neck of the last person.If it wasn't for the spurting of blood, the three people in front would not have noticed at all, but someone quietly appeared behind them.

Those eyes that looked like cold pools, and the blood-flowing knife blade did not give them too much time to react.

Three people fell to the ground, and the team of five was wiped out...

At this time, a person got up from the snow and stretched himself.There was a bloodstain on his cheek, but it wasn't serious.He first pulled out the arrows that fell on the ground and the arrows stuck in the tree, and put them in the arrow barrel behind him.

Finally, he turned around with a smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty is very skilled, I will have to rely on Your Majesty next."
