"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

Zhang Deyi was dressed as a commoner, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight. His old face with loose skin was full of tears, and he was crawling on the cold gold bricks of Yixiang Hall, looking very pitiful. , The whole army was wiped out! Those barbarians from Northern Xinjiang are coming towards the imperial city!"

"You changed your clothes, hurry up and go with this old slave! Before it's too late, the late emperor left a secret passage in the palace..."

Wearing a crimson gauze dragon robe, Liu Hu stood up from the pear blossom wooden armchair and looked at Xiao Gao behind Zhang Deyi.

Xiao Gao and Liu Hu are similar in stature. At this time, they are wearing the emperor's court clothes, with court boots on their feet, and twelve buckles on their heads.If you don't look at the face, you can completely confuse the real with the fake.

"Xiao Gao...Xiao Gao is a good boy." Zhang Deyi got up from the ground tremblingly, and pushed his adopted son in front of Liu Hu, "He volunteered to die for His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he wiped his old tears again, and looked at Xiao Gao, "Don't be afraid, child, this is your honor. When His Majesty revives the country in the future, your loyalty and name will be immortalized forever!"

Xiao Gao was obviously a little afraid of the imminent death, and was so emotional that he couldn't speak at all. Facing his stepfather, he could only nod his head with sobs, completely lacking his usual cleverness.

"The whole army...destroyed?" Liu Hu suddenly came back to his senses at this moment, turned around and grabbed Zhang Deyi's shoulder, "Brother, do you have any news about Bo Xiu?!"

Zhang Deyi felt that the emperor's slender white fingers were so hard that they sank into his shoulders through the fabric of his clothes.

It was very painful, and it also made Zhang Deyi suddenly wake up from the grief.

It is extremely obvious that since the Imperial Forest Army was defeated, Lu Wei, its commander, was either captured or dead.

According to Lu Wei's prestige in northern Xinjiang before, if he was captured, the barbarians in northern Xinjiang would at most be surprised that he "resurrected from the dead", and they would not do anything to him at all, and they might even confess him as an ancestor.

But how could Lu Wei tolerate his defeat and capture with his innocent personality?In Zhang Deyi's view, Lu Wei probably died in battle or committed suicide.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Deyi looked at Liu Hu with a loving expression, and said slowly, "There is no news from Lord Marquis. But according to this old slave, no news is good news. Although the Imperial Forest Army was defeated, Lord Hou's martial arts is so strong, it must be If you can break through the encirclement, you will be safe and sound."

Liu Hu let go of the fingers that grabbed Zhang Deyi's shoulder, and his whole body relaxed instantly, as if he had found the faith to support him, he laughed twice, and said: "My friend is right, what my friend said is right...no The news is the good news. Bo Xiuji is a man of heaven and strong in martial arts, so he will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement and be safe and sound."

After speaking, Liu Hu cheered up immediately, took off the crimson gauze dragon robe, and took the initiative to pick up the civilian clothes brought by Zhang Deyi to wear.

But as the Son of Heaven, he was usually served by someone when he dressed, and this was the first time he wore such crude clothes, and the ties and buttons were not legal.

Seeing this, Zhang Deyi hurried forward and asked Liu Hu to open his arms, tie his belt neatly and fasten the buttons, and put on coarse trousers and a pair of green cloth shoes for him.

At this time, Liu Hu was completely dressed in the bunt of ordinary people, only his face and exposed hands were made of white porcelain, unlike ordinary people.

Zhang Deyi rubbed some black ash again, and applied a thin layer on Liu Hu's face and hands, so it finally looked less conspicuous.

"Brother, let's go quickly." After Liu Hu finished dressing up, he grabbed Zhang Deyi's arm anxiously, "Bo Xiu is still outside the palace, he may be injured and hiding somewhere, we need to find him quickly!"

Zhang Deyi sighed in his heart, knowing that what he said just now was correct, he nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, Your Majesty... we must find Lord Hou as soon as possible."

But paper can't contain the fire, what should His Majesty do when he learns that Lu Wei is dead in the future?

He could no longer think so long-term, so he could only focus on the present, let His Majesty leave the palace safely first, and then plan for the funeral.

Liu Hu and Zhang Deyi, together with a few young eunuchs in disguise, quickly walked out of the Yixiang Hall and walked quickly towards the secret passage in the back garden.

In the Yixiang Hall, only Xiao Gao was left alone.

While sobbing, Xiao Gao locked the door of the palace from the inside, and then knocked the candle over the weft curtain.

The tongue of fire quickly blazed along the oiled weft curtain, greedily licking the wooden palace.

When Liu Hu came to the entrance of the secret passage in the back garden, he turned his head in the direction of Yixiang Hall.

I saw the gorgeous palace full of good memories between him and Bo Xiu, and the flames were soaring into the sky at this time, as if he was using his last life to see him, the troubled emperor, off.

Zhang Deyi's sobs came from beside him, "Xiao Gao, good boy...Your Majesty will never forget your loyalty, and we will be father and son in the next life!"

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to mourn Xiao Gao too much. They opened the mechanism of the rockery and entered the secret passage.

……

Because no one cleaned it for a long time, there was an unpleasant dampness in the secret passage, thick moss covered the cave walls and feet, and it was very slippery.

When Liu Hu just walked in, he smelled the rancid moisture and almost vomited. Zhang Deyi quickly put a cotton handkerchief on his mouth and nose, and then he felt better.

Liu Hu was walking with the support of two young eunuchs, almost slipping every step, looking very embarrassed.

Zhang Deyi watched with tears in his eyes, his Majesty has been rich and well-fed since he was born, how could he have suffered such a crime.

Although the secret passage was very long and the journey was very difficult, there seemed to be a stubborn force growing in Liu Hu's body. He almost fell down a few times, but he never slowed down his pace, and he never made a sound from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Deyi knew what was the force supporting Liu Hu's progress, and his heart became more and more sad.

"Slow down...Your Majesty, it's slippery here, slow down, and be careful not to fall..."

However, Zhang Deyi couldn't do anything about it, he could only choke and chatter uselessly beside Liu Hu with tears in his eyes.

After walking in the secret passage for about an hour, it finally came to an end.

The place where the secret path leads is actually not far from the imperial city, but it is extremely hidden.

It is a dilapidated temple located outside the city, and no one usually goes to it.

The first emperor created this secret passage not in anticipation that his descendants would be forced to escape from the palace one day, but to meet someone in secret.

Pushing open the secret door, Liu Hu coughed repeatedly due to the aroused dust, and climbed out with a group of eunuchs from the dilapidated lotus seat of the mountain god statue covered with cobwebs.

None of them could have imagined that in the bright sky, they would be greeted by heavily armored Northern Xinjiang soldiers.

Countless swords, guns and halberds aimed at the group of people who had just crawled out of the secret passage.

Liu Hu maintained his awkward crawling posture, saw clearly the leading man among the northern Xinjiang soldiers, and froze in place in a daze.

The man wears a silver lion helmet and a bright yellow five-dragon robe, tall and awe-inspiring like a god.The pair of star-like black eyes looked at Liu Hu who was lying on the ground.

There was silence between each other for a long, long time, before Liu Hu's wide-open peach blossom eyes shed two lines of tears, passing across that dusty and filthy face.

"AHHHHHH!! Lu Boxiu!!!"

The Son of Heaven uttered a heart-piercing, blood-weeping roar.
