Don't go back to hometown

The snow finally stopped, and the silver-clad mountains were covered with a layer of pale golden sunlight, and the snowdrops on the trees melted into long and long ice edges, which snapped and fell——

"hiss!!"

The man in black hiding under the tree shuddered, and felt a piece of ice from the back of his neck.

The man wrapped in a cloak next to him glanced at him, and the man in black immediately fell silent and lowered his head.

There are more than a dozen young men hidden in the woods and slopes behind the two, all of them holding swords, grass clippings in their hair, black eyes, chapped lips, and unshaven beards. Rough and sloppy, but well-trained, unlike ordinary bandits.

In the woods ahead of the group, three men with horses were walking slowly.

The man in black whose neck had fallen into the ice edge saw the three people in front of him touch this tree, look at that tree, and even squatted down to pick up the snow on the ground and smell it. He said: "Boss, can they really find it like this?"

The man in the cloak glanced at him coldly: "Why don't you come?"

The man in black choked and didn't dare to make another sound.

Their task was to pretend to be bandits to ambush King Yi and take his head. Unexpectedly, a sudden blizzard trapped them all in the mountain.

Unexpectedly, King Yi actually hides his secrets. Not to mention his martial arts, he has many masters around him. He fought against them several times, defeated many of their brothers, and fled all the way into the mountains, losing news.

It took more than a month to escape, and it was really a blessing.

Several of their brothers who were good at tracking died, their dry food was gradually exhausted, and even the horses were killed to satisfy their hunger. They still failed to complete the task, so they could only spend time in the mountains with King Yi.

Now the imperial court has sent the forbidden army and so many capable people and strangers to search and rescue King Yi, but they have lost track of King Yi, so they can only follow the search and rescuers to wait for an opportunity, really aggrieved!

After following for a while, a young man in the same attire came flying from the woods behind, knelt down on one knee in front of the man wrapped in the cloak, and replied, "Boss, they haven't caught the trap, they have already caught up."

The face of the leading man changed: "How long can it be delayed?"

"They found the fake markers we made and the traces of the destruction of the real markers, and quickly found out the correct direction, which is about fifty miles away from here."

The leading man looked at the three figures looking forward, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

They followed each other for three days, and many traces could prove that Yi Wang fled in this direction. They thought that the plan would trick their large troops into the river and delay them for a while, but they didn't expect them to fall for it at all!

Now that there are many people on the other side, if they meet up smoothly and find King Yi, it will be even more difficult for them to attack.

The leading man pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Let's go around and try to find King Yi first."

"Yes!"

More than a dozen people quickly left in a detour.

In the woods ahead, Escort Xu, who was digging through the snow to find traces, suddenly pricked up his ears.

"Old Zhao, did you hear anything?"

Old Zhao glanced around: "What's happening?"

"... Nothing, what did you find?"

Old Zhao pointed to his feet: "There's horse manure here."

Another Zhou bodyguard said: "It's similar to what we found before. They should have kept a horse."

Escort Xu raised his head to identify the location, and suddenly asked: "Is there a cave to the south?"

"Can they find that?"

……

Tick...tick...tick...

Water oozes from the rock wall of the cave to form an ice wall, and the sound of water droplets is very slow, making a soft sound in the claustrophobic cave.

The originally humid and cool place is now a bit warmer than the outside. A fire was set up in the cave, and four or five people gathered around to warm up.

One of them was a handsome young man wrapped in fox fur, curled up on the ground covered with dead branches and hay, and took a nap. His face was pale, his lips were pale, and he was not sleeping peacefully.

The steed next to him snorted from the cold, and the young man shivered and opened his eyes.

He wanted to sit up on the ground, but when he exerted his strength, he pulled the wound on his right arm, gasped, and almost fell back.

The guard beside him hurriedly helped, "My lord, be careful."

Li Yi coughed twice, took the stone bowl handed over by his subordinates, took a sip of hot water, and said in a hoarse voice, "What day is it?"

"It's... the 39th day."

"Ahem..." Li Yi's smile paled, "This king is really lucky..."

"It's because you and the people in Jiangnan are involved."

Qian You, the head of the guard, said: "My lord is a descendant of a real dragon, so he can turn bad luck into good luck. The people in the south of the Yangtze River... with the governor around, they must be able to survive."

Li Yi shook his head: "The governor alone can't save the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Just by looking at what happened to us, we can tell that some people are waiting to profit from this natural disaster, whether they take advantage of the opportunity to amass money or eradicate dissidents. In short, the sacrifices are all innocents. people."

Qian You said: "My lord, don't be pessimistic. If we climb over the mountain and continue heading south, we will reach the small town in the southeast of Huai'an. As long as your lord is out of trouble, everything will turn around."

"Turning opportunity?" Li Yi shook his head self-deprecatingly, and stopped talking.

Now he is in a dangerous situation and has lost contact with the outside world, but looking at the heavy snow this month, it is enough to imagine how serious the disaster is.And when the royal father learned that he died before he left the school, he might only think that he was a waste, and he wouldn't even frown.

It was he who miscalculated, and adopted Governor Fang's suggestion to plot against Sixth Brother, but he did not expect that the other party was a complete lunatic who not only wanted to delay the progress of disaster relief, but also wanted to take the opportunity to take his life!

Coupled with the sudden blizzard, he was trapped in the mountain... Maybe this is his destiny to be buried here.

But...he didn't want to trust his fate!

"My lord!" The guard in charge of guarding hurriedly ran in, "Someone is here."

anyone?

Li Yi frowned: "Isn't that group of assassins from before?"

"It doesn't look like it's dressed, and it doesn't look like it."

"how many people?"

"Three."

three?

Li Yi was stunned: "Aren't they officers and soldiers?"

The guard shook his head: "It's not like an officer or soldier, but it's also a member of the Lian family, and it seems to be quite familiar with this area. Go straight to this place and come here soon."

The identity is unknown, and it is Lian's son. It is not known whether it is an enemy or a friend when this kind of snow-covered mountain weather appears here.

To be on the safe side, Li Yi got up and ordered: "Retreat!"

"Yes!"

However, as soon as they withdrew from the cave, they saw three strange faces riding up the mountain, only a few turns away from them.

Qian You hurriedly helped Li Yi onto the horse: "My lord, you go first!"

Everyone protected Li Yi and walked up the mountain, and Qian You died.

Lao Zhao's three bodyguards also found their group.

"His Royal Highness King Yi?"

"Exactly!"

"not good!"

I saw more than a dozen "bandits" suddenly appearing on the mountainside, surrounded Li Yi and the others, and slashed at the black horse Li Yi was riding with their blades.

"Drive!" Lao Zhao and the others immediately rushed forward to rescue them.

The black horse he was riding was cut off from the horse's leg. Li Yi turned over and fell off the horse to avoid the blow, and took the long sword thrown by the guard to fight back.

Lao Zhao and others flew in front of Li Yi and scattered the "bandits" who were besieging him.

Li Yi was startled, he didn't expect that the other party was actually a helper.

But he had no time to ask who the other party was, he only knew that he was a friend rather than an enemy and could help him out of trouble, so he winked at Qian You and regarded him as a friendly army.

However, these three people plus his men were still a few fewer than the assassins. He was always under attack from the front and back, and with the wound on the hand holding the sword, he soon became unable to support himself.

Qian You and others were all entangled, and the situation was anxious.

At this moment, Li Yi suddenly heard the sound of sharp arrows entering the flesh, and when he turned around, he saw the arrow in the chest of the assassin behind him fell down.

Li Yi looked down the mountain and saw a young man riding his horse and raising his bow, firing several arrows in succession, shooting down several assassins in an instant.

And behind the boy was the familiar Guards.

Qian You stepped forward to protect Li Yi, and Li Yi leaned against the snow wall, looking at the handsome young man riding his horse with his robe flying.

picture……

It looks like the little emperor uncle in his dream when he grows up.

"Brother, please eat frosting, I secretly hid it."

"Ah... so you are the son of the eldest brother, you, why are you taller than me? I, I am your uncle!"

"They bullied you? Don't cry, I'll tell the queen mother, you will live with me from now on!"

"Jiujiu, why did your father want me to be the emperor? I...I don't know how to do it!"

"Jiujiu, I don't want to get sick, I also want to learn how to ride a horse..."

"Jiujiu, my mother cried again last night, she must miss grandpa and aunt again."

"Jiujiu, you are amazing! If you come to be the emperor, you must be better than me."

"Jiujiu, I don't want to die...I'm afraid..."

"Jiujiu, if I die, help me protect my mother... and my aunt... okay?"
