Didn't Love You Enough

Xuanyuan Zhaohong watched in disbelief as the emperor Xuanyuan Zhaoshen, the prince Xuanyuan Hancheng, the second prince Xuanyuan Hanqi and a large number of guards approached from far and near.

"Impossible... Impossible..." King Li looked at Xue Gui with murderous eyes, "It was you... Did you betray this king..." If eyes could kill, Xue Gui would have been reduced to ashes long ago .

"No...I didn't, His Royal Highness King Li. I have clearly received the signal from my son." Xue Gui didn't know why this happened...

"Thinking to rebel based on these calculations is simply beyond one's capabilities." Xuanyuan Zhao said bluntly. "King Li, you'd better arrest him without your hands. If you delay the auspicious time of the sacrifice, you will increase your crime..."

Xuanyuan Hancheng clapped his hands, and a group of archers emerged from the guards behind him, drawing their bows to King Li and the others...

"There are five thousand troops waiting for you outside, Uncle Li Wang, you can't escape." Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Li Wang and said.

"Hahahaha, it's not that easy to take me down." Xuanyuan Zhaohong violently pulled Xue Gui, who was closest to him, to him, and quickly took Xie Changqing, who was now in the front position, as a hostage.

The moment Xuanyuan Zhaohong moved, the archer released an arrow.Xue Gui was blocked in front of King Li, and his body was already full of arrows.

"Haha, shoot your arrows again... let Prime Minister Xie become the first prime minister to be shot into a hedgehog since the Xuanyuan Dynasty, hahaha..."

"Let go of the prime minister, I will keep your whole body." Xuanyuan Zhao said in a deep voice. For a while, everyone dared not move, and the atmosphere was a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the safety of the veteran..." Xie Changqing struggled regardless of his own danger.

"Get out of the way... If you don't want this old bastard to die, just make way for me obediently." King Li put the knife on Xie Changqing's neck.

"Okay... I let you leave, don't hurt the Prime Minister..." Xuanyuan Zhao was helpless, although he really didn't want to let King Li go.But he couldn't ignore Xie Changqing's life, let alone chill the hearts of his courtiers.

The people brought by Xuanyuan Zhaohong gathered around him, surrounding Xuanyuan Zhaohong and Xie Changqing.Walking slowly, Xuanyuan Zhaohong pulled Xie Changqing onto the horse and said arrogantly: "Xuanyuan Zhaoshen, what can you do to me...hahahaha..."

Xuanyuan Hancheng led the cavalry to chase after him, and said to his father, "Father, hurry up and sacrifice to heaven, and my son will go after him..."

"I'll go too..." The second prince Xuanyuan Hanqi also mounted his horse and chased in the direction where King Li fled.

The fast horse galloped for a long time, and finally saw the shadows of King Li and the others.Seeing this, King Li left Xie Changqing behind, Xuanyuan Zhaohong did not dare to really kill Xie Changqing, Xie Changqing had a high prestige in the court and was loved by civil servants, if he killed Xie Changqing, he might be scolded by scholars all over the world.

Xuanyuan Hancheng and the others had to slow down and go forward to rescue Prime Minister Xie first.Xuanyuan Hanqi looked at Li Wang's back unwillingly and drew his bow.With a whoosh sound, Xuanyuan Zhaohong was hit by an arrow in the back and nearly fell off his horse.Xuanyuan Zhaohong didn't expect that the second prince Xuanyuan Hanqi's archery skills were so good, he rode so far, and he would still be shot... Fortunately, he didn't hurt his vitals.

Xuanyuan Hancheng helped Xie Changqing up, "Prime Minister, are you alright?"

"His Royal Highness, the old minister is fine. Hurry up and go after King Li..." Xie Changqing was just a little frightened, with some scratches on his body, but nothing serious.

Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered several guards to escort the prime minister back.Xuanyuan Hancheng and his younger brother continued to chase with the cavalry.

Along the bloodstains on the ground, they will not lose the trace of King Li.They never stopped along the way, they kept chasing.Several times, he was about to catch up, and King Li would send his dead soldiers to intercept him.Although Xuanyuan Han had the advantage because of their large number of cavalry and quickly dealt with them, he still bought time for King Li to escape.

"There are not many people left around King Li, but the direction of their escape is not to Licheng, but to the capital..." Xuanyuan Hanqi chased him for a long time, and expressed his doubts.

"Prince Li may still have arrangements...he can't be allowed to go to the capital..." Xuanyuan Hancheng had a bad feeling...

"Chase……"

After a day and night of chasing, both sides were exhausted.King Li didn't expect that Xuanyuan Hancheng would be so ruthless, and kept chasing him closely.As a result, he didn't even have time to rest, and there were fewer and fewer dead soldiers around him.Xuanyuan Zhaohong and his party were both hungry and thirsty, but he was still struggling, and there was always a belief in his heart that supported him.He still has a plan, as long as he reaches the capital and joins his other group of dead men, he is confident that he can make a comeback...

The guards next to King Li helped King Li get off his horse, "His Royal Highness, take a rest, the sky is getting dark and you can hide here, and my subordinates will find some food and water for you..."

King Li asked the dead soldiers around him to bandage his wound. Although the arrow wound on his back was not serious, he lost a lot of blood, and Xuanyuan Zhaohong felt a little dizzy. "Bring me some water, we'll leave right away... hurry up to Ciyun Temple and talk about it."

"promise."

King Li asked his confidant, "Do you think Xue Song will succeed?" After today's change, Xuanyuan Zhaohong was also faintly worried.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, you gave Xue Song a hundred dead soldiers who were one against ten, and you gave Xue Song so much gold and silver to buy Jianghu masters, and you also used the nails that the Queen Mother left for you at the end. Sure. It can be successful..." Up to now, my confidant is still not sure, so he can only comfort Li Wangdao.

Xuanyuan Zhaohong sensed the danger when he came over for a while and still didn't see the guards fetching water, "No, let's go..."

King Li and the others rode their horses and galloped for a while, when they heard the sound of horseshoes from behind, it was Prince Xuanyuan Hancheng who were catching up again.

Xuanyuan Hancheng said that they didn't stop all day and night, and there was only one thought in their hearts.That is to stop King Li and prevent him from stepping into the capital.After this day and night, the cavalry behind Xuanyuan Hancheng was the elite among the elites, and they all felt exhausted.

During this day and night, they stopped only once.Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered to kill a war horse, and only drank the horse's blood to replenish his physical strength.Xuanyuan Hanqi admired his elder brother even more. He couldn't hold on several times, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Xuanyuan Hancheng caught up with King Li and the others, and took the lead in fighting with the guards, "Uncle Li, you can't escape..."

Li Wang Xuanyuan Zhaohong had only 30 people left around him, they were no match for Xuanyuan Hancheng and they soon fell into a weak position.

Xuanyuan Zhaohong was about to watch the dead soldiers around him fall down one by one, and suddenly burst out laughing. "Xuanyuan Hancheng, don't be complacent. Do you think that this king has no backup? In another half an hour, if my people don't see me, the queen will not want to live..."

"What did you say, what did you do to my queen mother?" Xuanyuan Hanqi yelled nervously after hearing this.

"Haha, Xue Song should have sneaked into the harem with the dead soldiers early yesterday morning, the empress and your father's concubines, oh hehe... maybe the prince and your new favorites are all under my control. If I don't Appear at the appointed place, and half an hour later, they will die." Xuanyuan Zhaohong said proudly.

Xuanyuan Zhaohong had already made two-handed preparations, and if he failed, he had already planned his way out.Before he acted, he gave Xue Song a special opinion, and told Xue Song all the secrets about him and the princess Xue Caiyu.At that time Xue Song was frightened, he didn't expect his eldest daughter to be so bold.Now that the matter has come to this point, he has no choice but to follow His Royal Highness Li Wang.Xuanyuan Zhaohong promised him that if the great event can be accomplished, he will make Xue Caiyu's sister-in-law a noble concubine after he ascends the throne, and add officials to Xue Song.

Xue Song followed the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Li and planned to sneak into the harem.The target was directed at the prince, empress, and concubines in the harem, and they were captured to meet up with King Li, so that if King Li failed, he could return to Li City safely and smoothly with them as threats.If it succeeds, those princes and queens will naturally die...

Xuanyuan Zhaohong didn't expect that the emperor would bring all the princes with him this time.But it doesn't matter, as long as the queen or one or two concubines are caught.Those concubines were connected to the previous dynasty, if the emperor insisted on putting him to death regardless of their safety.Even Xuanyuan Zhaoshen couldn't explain to the court.As long as he has these amulets, he doesn't have to worry about Xuanyuan Zhaoshen entering the palace in a short period of time, and he can also recuperate and expand his strength.

"Xuanyuan Hancheng, do you dare to disregard your mother's safety? Haha, if you don't let me go, many people will be buried with me..." Seeing Xuanyuan Hancheng and the others stunned, Xuanyuan Zhaohong laughed and said The dead soldiers mounted their horses and left.

"Brother, what should we do? The queen mother..." Xuanyuan Hanqi asked his brother unwillingly, and at the same time worried about the safety of the queen mother.

"I have already sent people to follow them. They are riding horses and will leave traces along the way. Be sure to find out the place they agreed on. Don't disturb them and check it out first." Xuanyuan Hancheng said to his younger brother, "Send a signal to father The emperor invites the army to come, and immediately surrounds them when they find their agreed place."

"No. I understand. I must not let him go. If there is something wrong with my mother, I will definitely cut him into pieces..." Xuanyuan Hanqi was furious.

Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered the guards to climb to the top of the tree and look towards the capital. "His Royal Highness, thick black smoke is rising above the imperial city..."

Xuanyuan Hancheng's heart tightened when he heard this, his sweetheart...

Xuanyuan Hancheng said decisively: "I will take half of the people back to the capital first. What King Li said may not be true. There are many forbidden troops in the palace, so it is not so easy to hold them hostage. I want to go back and see for myself..."

Xuanyuan Hancheng said to his younger brother: "The half an hour mentioned by King Li means that his place of residence is not far away. You can search around the outskirts of the capital. I went back to the palace to have a look. If the mother is safe and sound, they will send a message immediately." Signal to you." After that, Xuanyuan Hancheng asked his younger brother not to act recklessly, and after finding out the hiding place of King Li, he must wait for the army to come before taking any action.

Xuanyuan Hancheng rode to the capital with a small group of people. His baby must be fine...he really couldn't afford to lose his baby again...

Li Wang Xuanyuan Zhaohong rushed to Ciyun Temple with a dozen people in a panic.When his mother was alive, he often came here to burn incense, and the abbot of the temple had received the favor of his mother.After his mother passed away, the Ciyun Temple in the capital gradually fell out of importance, and the incense was not strong. This is also the most secret corner of the capital for him. This time he will live here in the capital, the safest and most reliable.

The abbot saw His Royal Highness Li was covered in blood, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness... are you okay..."

"Where are Xue Song and the others..." Xuanyuan Zhaohong grabbed the abbot and asked.

"I've been waiting here for a day and a night, and I haven't seen Lord Xue and the others... I'm afraid it's..." the abbot replied.

After Xuanyuan Zhaohong heard this, his blood surged up. He clutched his chest, but finally couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and spit it out. "How... how... Xue Song, that trash!"

"His Royal Highness King Li..." the abbot quickly supported King Li.

King Li thought of a way to escape in his heart, he didn't want to die, he was not reconciled...

At this time, the little monk next to the abbot came to report: "It's not good, it's not good. The temple is surrounded by troops. There are as many as a thousand soldiers outside, and there are still soldiers coming from behind..."

Xuanyuan Zhaohong's eyes darkened, the heavens are going to kill him...
