The accident came earlier than Liu Chai expected.

In the evening of that day, it snowed lightly.

Wei Ran mysteriously took Liu Chai and Rou Jia to his room, and said cryptically, "You have to deal with something."

He handed a piece of cloth to Liu Chai, and after the two passed it on, he took it back and immediately put it on the lamp and lit it.

"Didn't you say that you were demoted to the common people and exiled in the northern border? Why did you change it to silence?" Rou Jia was the first to lose her composure.

Wei Ran said in a deep voice: "It's the meaning of the palace, and it's not difficult to understand, after all, it's treason."

"But..." Rou Jia wanted to argue, but Liu Chai's voice overshadowed him.

"I see, I'll go and let Roujia stay."

"Brother!"

Liu Chai glanced at him, and snorted softly: "It is the first-class honor to serve the empress, how can you allow others to share the credit for your success in the future?"

"Liu Chai!" Wei Ran wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but Liu Chai had already gone straight out and left in the direction of the stable.

Wei Ran looked at Rou Jia who was thrown on the spot, and was about to speak, but saw Rou Jia also gritted her teeth and left the door.

Liu Chai chose a good horse, and it was almost effortless for him to catch up with the deposed prince Yuanyi and his party at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.Yuan Ren had not yet married and had children, and was demoted to a commoner, so there was only him and two servants in the exile team, which looked very pitiful.When Yuan Ren watched Liu Chai in a black cloak galloping towards him, he had almost accepted his own fate—the emperor father had no real power, and the stepmother could not really let him go.So, he calmly watched Liu Chai dismount from his horse, and taking advantage of this momentum, he rushed straight to the two guards who were coming up, and in the blink of an eye, he quickly took their weapons and inserted them into each other. belly.Liu Chai took out some fine gold and silver from his waist with ease, and sprinkled them next to the bodies of the two, faking the illusion of dying for money.Then, he drew out the long knife that was stained with the blood of the guard, and walked towards Yuanren step by step.

Yuan Ren closed his eyes, and finally chose to see clearly what was going to happen next.His hands were bound and he couldn't straighten out his appearance. Yuan Ren felt a little regretful, so he had to choose a dignified posture to sit down.

"Can you cut the knife faster? I'm afraid of pain." Yuan Ren wanted to discuss it with Liu Chai, but he swung the knife without blinking, cutting off the wood on Yuan Ren's body with one blow. flail.

Ok?

Yuan Ren stared blankly at his suddenly free hands, and before he could react, Liu Chai knelt down on one leg in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Liu Chai in Yeweijian, please refer to Your Highness."

Yuan Ren came out of a desperate situation, pulled Liu Chai up in surprise, and asked anxiously: "Yewei Liu Chai? Did the emperor ask you to save me? Is he going to reverse the case for me?"

Liu Chai nodded and said in a low voice: "The case has not been overturned, Your Highness, so you still have to escape. I will have other night guards coming after me, and they will obey Empress Liu."

Yuan Ren heard this, his legs softened and he fell to the ground: "Escape... Where else can I escape? I have no strength to restrain a chicken. With these legs, I was killed before I walked out of this Cuiwei Mountain. "

"Your Highness, don't panic." Liu Chai took his mount and handed the reins to Yuan Ren, "Your Highness may as well continue northward to the northern border on the horse of his subordinates. The people of Empress Liu probably won't guess that His Highness is still there." I will go the same way. This subordinate will go in another direction, which may help His Highness delay for a while."

Yuan Ren accepted Liu Chai's suggestion. He didn't know why such a stranger Ye Wei would help him, but he wanted to live - no one would push his vitality outward.

"Do you have any relatives in your family?" Yuan Ren couldn't bear it after all. If Liu Chai let him go, it would be tantamount to betrayal, and the traitor would not be forgiven, especially a woman like Empress Liu. They carry messages."

"No more. This subordinate was expelled from the Liu family by his father a few days ago, so now he has no relatives. But there is one..." Liu Chai thought thoughtfully, "Forget it...Your Highness, let's go!"

After Yuan Ren sat down firmly, Liu Chai patted the horse hard, and the good horse let out a long cry, and went away to the north.

Liu Chai's eyes lingered on the two corpses, then raised his head and looked around. After thinking for a while, he chose a direction and Shi Shiran walked.
