Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

When Li Xu woke up, the sky was already bright, and it was still raining lightly outside. He put on his dry clothes and walked out barefoot.

He Zunzheng stood in a daze at the door, turned around when he heard the voice, frowned and looked at Li Xu's feet, "His Highness's foot injury has not healed, so it is not suitable for walking."

"It's not a problem, it's just a small injury." In fact, it still hurts to walk, but this pain is tolerable for Li Xu.

He Zun took off his shoes, "If you don't mind, wear your subordinate's."

Li Xu was disgusted in his heart. He Zun's shoes were dirty and wet after soaking in water all night. He politely refused: "No, you wear them. When you go out, you carry me on your back."

He Zun agreed, he turned around and squatted down, "Then come up, let's go to the river to have a look."

Before leaving, Li Xu asked his old husband and wife to cook them something to eat. After working all night, everyone still had an empty stomach, so they still needed to eat.

But the old man looked at him in embarrassment, and said falteringly: "This...it's not that the little people don't want to, it's just that there...there is not much food in the house."

Li Xu didn't care whether he was telling the truth, "Is there a store selling grain nearby?"

"Only in the town."

"How far is it to go to town?"

"It takes half a day to walk back and forth."

That's a bit far away, Li Xu thought for a while, "Then I'll trouble the old man to buy some food from the villagers, I'll pay twice the price." He hid two gold bars in his belt before he went into the water, and when he was about to take them out, he saw them Zun Cong took out a purse and threw it to the other party, and said coldly: "Do what my master tells you to do. If you dare to be perfunctory, I will kill your family!"

He Zun's face was the living signboard of King Yan, and the father-in-law nodded in fright, "Yes, Xiaomin will do it now."

When Li Xu and the others walked to the river, they finally saw clearly the place where they almost died last night. The river here is obviously wider than the previous days. From a distance, there were a few families on the opposite side, and there were no other people around. people.

"They should have searched along the river."

Li Xu patted He Zun's shoulder: "Let me down." Li Xu walked to the water's edge, because the water level rose, the tree by the river that saved their lives was half submerged by the river, and because of this, they There is a chance to grab the branch.

The turbid and yellowish river rushed swiftly into the distance, and it was impossible to see what was in the river. Li Xu stared at the river for a while, fearing that he might see a floating corpse floating towards him.

"I don't know if they are dead or alive..." Li Xu sighed in a low voice.

The corners of He Zun's lips twitched, and he comforted: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Liu Shu is very good at water, he is not good at martial arts, and no one is more comfortable in the water than him."

This was also the reason why Li Xu handed over the little princess to Liu Shu, but thinking that he was still a child, he couldn't help but worry.

The Habayashi Army walked along the river for a long time, and then picked up a row of sleeping colleagues in a bush.

After walking another mile, they saw a boat intercepted by a giant tree in the river. The boat was torn apart and could no longer sail. I searched around, but didn't see any living people or corpses.

On the shore, Jia Ping looked into the distance, "Don't look for it yet, go back and report."

Li Xu was also a little disappointed when he found out that the little princess was not found, but finding someone is not a matter of a day or two, and he was prepared.

The water level in the river was still high, Li Xu really wanted to find his treasure chest, but he also knew that the probability of finding it in this situation was very low, so he might as well wait until the weather cleared up in a few days before looking for it.

"Go back first, and after eating, divide into two teams and go out to search for people, no matter whether it's upstream or downstream, or across the river, don't miss a place."

When he was about to reach the village, Jia Ping took out a gemstone from his bosom and handed it to Li Xu, "Your Majesty, this is your property, it should be returned to its original owner."

It was only then that everyone remembered what was going on, and they all took out the things in their socks, but Li Xu refused to pick them up, "Let's keep it in the care of Guard Jia, and take two gold pieces to the town in the afternoon to exchange money. It costs a lot, thanks to everyone.”

Everyone was very relieved, no amount of suffering was worth it, and what they were looking for was their companion and Shangfeng. It can be said that without Li Xu, they would not even have money to eat, so naturally they would have no complaints .

He Zun found an opportunity to ask Li Xu in private: "Why don't you ask the local government office for help? How dare they not help when His Highness shows his identity?"

Li Xu also thought about it, looking for someone to go to the government, many people are powerful, but he also has his own worries: "If this matter gets publicized, I'm worried that someone will take the opportunity to enter." There are only these people around him, so he can't prevent it Stay away from the assassination of someone with a heart.

He Zun understands, but the more he understands, the more he hates it. The crown prince is the crown prince of Yan. What a prestigious status, but now he has been reduced to this level, and all this is caused by His Majesty.

He asked in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about gathering loyal people to seek justice from Your Majesty?"

Li Xu was startled, he didn't expect that He Zun would have the idea of ​​rebellion, this kind of idea is bad, "What kind of person is a loyal man? Are you going to rebel with me? How many people do you think I can gather?" Han The family has been wiped out, and now this king is alone, with no wealth and power, who would be so stupid?"

Not reconciled, He Zun gritted his teeth and said, "Master Wan in Yangzhou Mansion was promoted by you, so it's not difficult to borrow troops from him."

Li Xu laughed angrily, "With the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in that county, do you want to bring down the emperor? You are too naive."

"The subordinate is just...just..."

Li Xu sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what you think, you have to eat every bite, and you have to walk step by step on the road, things will always turn around, people have to live before they can plan other things."

He Zun's eyes lit up. What he was most afraid of was that His Highness would not avenge his dead brother. After all, sitting on the dragon chair was His Highness's biological father. As long as he had the heart, the brothers would at least not have died in vain.

In the following days, Li Xu led people to search along the river bank bit by bit. The results were good and bad. Not every day they could find their companions, and not every time they found living people. , Several times, they found the bodies of their companions by the river.

On the tenth day, the little princess hadn't been found yet, and Commander Lin was nowhere to be found. It was impossible for Li Xu to be in a hurry. The longer the time dragged on, the lower the possibility of surviving. They fell into the same water area and could get ashore in time. Fortunately, if soaked in the water for a long time, the possibility of drowning is high, but fortunately, most of the Habayashi army has assembled, and Li Xu's heart is a little more stable.

When there were more people, the deeds of Li Xu, a pedestrian, were particularly conspicuous. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to hide it. After all, he alarmed the local government.

Li Xu thought about it, and then sent Jia Ping to contact the local government. Through the government, he posted a missing person notice and offered a lot of rewards, hoping to mobilize the power of the masses to find someone.

One day after the notice was posted, they found Ye Changqing. This boy was very unlucky. After falling into the water, the rope became loose for some reason. In the city, after taking him back, he didn't feel at ease. He locked Ye Changqing's feet while he was still in a coma. When Ye Changqing woke up, he found that he had become a servant of this family.

After he was cleaned up, the fishmonger saw him young and handsome, and wanted to arrange for him to marry his silly girl. In this way, Ye Changqing was completely tied to their house.

Ye Changqing swallowed his anger for a few days, healed most of his injuries, and then escaped from the shackles. Before leaving, he inevitably beat the fishmonger severely.

After escaping, Ye Changqing realized that he was in the city, quite far away from the river where they sailed at that time. Now he was really worried. He didn't know where to look for someone, and he didn't have a single coin on him. Baoyu, who was in the sock, also disappeared.

After wandering on the street for two days, with his chest stuck to his back because of hunger, Ye Changqing saw the notice posted by the government, wept with joy, and finally came to him.

In the capital, the third prince received an informant before the emperor, and learned that King Shun's boat capsized in a storm on the river, and all the crew disappeared.

He couldn't help laughing for a long time, and then sent people to look for it. It would be best if King Shun died, but if he didn't die, then no wonder he was so cruel.

After the emperor heard the news, his mood was indescribably complicated. Li Xu was established as the crown prince not long after he was born, and he was raised by the emperor himself. Excellent, with more and more courtiers praising him, the emperor is getting more and more displeased with the prince, as long as he thinks that his great country will fall into the hands of the prince in the future, he will be particularly unhappy.

Moreover, the Han family dared to rebel, and the emperor blamed Li Xu for all of this. If he hadn't blocked an arrow for him, the emperor would not have let him go.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to find King Shun?" Director Zhao wanted to save people in his heart, but he didn't have the right.

The emperor was silent for a long time, then waved his hands and said, "There is no need to send people from the capital. If you have to work hard, the next order will ask the local government to look for it and tell them that if King Shun makes a mistake, let the county guard come to see him."

Director Zhao couldn't figure out whether the emperor wanted King Shun to live or to die. It would take half a month at the earliest to arrive at the message, and if it was conveyed layer by layer, even if it was found, it might be an unrecognizable corpse. .

"No, the old slave will do it now."

The hearts of the people in the palace were fluctuating. A few days later, there was news that His Royal Highness King Shun had been found, and he was safe and sound. There were hundreds of Yulin soldiers accompanying him, but the little princess and Commander Lin were still missing.

The third prince broke a good set of ceramic vases just after receiving the news. The emperor just sighed slightly when he heard about it, and thought to himself: My son deserves to die.
