At this time, unlike in the Jinyang Palace, Liu Chong only took some water and dry food for dinner, and then fell on the grass and fell into a deep sleep. It was not known how long it took for someone to wake him up.

When he opened his eyes, it was already the zenith of the moon. He was so sleepy that he slept so sweetly that he almost forgot that he was still in danger. He rubbed his eyes and said, "What time is it?"

"It's already midnight! We have made arrangements, Your Majesty, please come with me." Liu Jiye glanced down the slope and it was very quiet, but he didn't believe that all the Zhou troops were sleeping.

He took off Liu Chong's ocher-yellow cloak and tied it on one of his men, then helped Liu Chong slowly down the slope and got into a small ditch on the side. There were already ten people hiding here, including men and horses.

There was thick green grass, the shining armor had long been smeared with mud, and the horse was bridle and lying in the ditch silently.

Under the bright moonlight, it was vaguely visible that the Han soldiers on the slope began to move. They quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards the north.

With the rumble of horse hooves, loud shouts were heard from a mile or two around the slope, "The Puppet Han Emperor has run away! The Puppet Han Emperor has run away!"

Then the Zhou soldiers at the bottom of the slope woke up from their sleep. They mounted their horses and chased in the direction of the Han army's escape. Among them, a man wearing silver armor and a yellow cloak was extremely conspicuous under the moonlight. He must be Chai Rong.

Not bad.

Liu Chong let out a long breath and saw that Zhou Jun had walked away and regained calm. Liu Chong, who was hiding in the ditch, couldn't wait to get up.

Liu Jiye pushed him down, "Your Majesty, please be patient! Be careful of fraud!"

After waiting like this for a whole stick of incense, they found that there was really no movement around them, and then the twelve people crawled out of the ditch.

Liu Jiye led the magnificent yellow horse to Liu Chong. Liu Chong said with emotion: "If I can return to Jinyang this time, you have made the greatest contribution, and I will definitely reward you."

"Your Majesty has brought great blessings to the generals and soldiers in the sky. I dare not take credit. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Your Majesty, you should get on your horse quickly."

At that moment, more than ten people got on their horses and headed west. After walking for several miles, they entered a dense forest. The moonlight fell on the ground through the branches and leaves, and the light and shadow were mottled and shadowy, unlike the human world.

But no one appreciated it. The eleven people closely guarded Liu Chong in the middle, looking around vigilantly.

Liu Jiye said: "Going through this dense forest is a trail that leaves Luzhou. It takes more than a hundred miles to leave the territory of Zhou Kingdom."

"Then hurry up, I don't want to stay here any longer."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do what you want. Liu Chong's dense forest will be your burial place!"

The gentle sound of horse hooves sounded deep in the dense forest, and more than a dozen horses came to a halt a hundred steps away on mottled spots of light. The man at the head was wearing silver armor, holding a gun in one hand and a rein in the other. He was not Chai Rong.

Liu Chong's expression suddenly changed, "Guo...Guo Rong, didn't you go after me?"

"Huh, you can even fool me with your little tricks!"

In fact, it was Xu Xian who told Chai Rong that in yesterday's chase, Liu Jiye should have arrived earlier than him, but he arrived late, so there must be something fishy about it.

So he looked for the direction Liu Jiye came from, and after learning the result, Chai Rong concluded that he would escape at night, so he set up an ambush in the dense forest, and sure enough, Liu Chong was waiting for him.

Liu Chong turned his horse around in panic and wanted to run back, but he saw dozens more horses emerging from the dense forest behind him. Xu Xian, holding a divine arm crossbow, laughed and said: "You can't run away, so surrender quickly."

!”

Since it was an ambush, according to Xu Xian's idea, he should set up a stumbling block, wait for Liu Chong and the others to fall to pieces, then shoot them with bows and arrows, and finally swarm them up and stab them with spears, and finish them off neatly.

But the emperor just thought differently from ordinary people. Chai Rong fired his horse and pointed the first two rifles at Liu Chong, "Does Liu Chong dare to fight me?"

Liu Chong did not answer Chai Rong, but turned to look at Liu Jiye behind him, "Why is this happening? You betrayed me!"

Liu Jiye was shocked when he heard this. He quickly got off his horse and fell to the ground, "Your Majesty treats me with great kindness. I will never dare to betray your Majesty! I don't know why this is the case. I am willing to die to prove my innocence."

"Hahaha..." Chai Rong looked up to the sky and laughed, "Liu Chong, you are not worthy of being the emperor at all. Even the most loyal ministers doubted it. I originally thought that if you won, I would let you go, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

I have flattered you too much, and you are not worthy of being my opponent at all."

Liu Chong said angrily: "You said that I am not worthy of being your opponent? When I was powerful in the army, you were still selling umbrellas along the street. If it weren't for a good aunt, you would be qualified to talk to me here.

"

"Haha... It's useless to say more. If you have the courage, you can fight me. If you don't have the courage, kneel down and beg me for mercy. I will spare your life!"

"I will be afraid of you!" Liu Chong waved his hand and said, "I will give you a fair fight!"

Hearing what Liu Chong said, Old Mutou stepped forward and whispered to Chai Rong: "Why does your Majesty need to take risks? Just let me and my brothers deal with them."

Chai Rong just replied firmly: "I will not lose!"

He used to dare to ride into battle alone, but now he is no longer surprised to challenge others. The fight between the two emperors is still very interesting. If there is enough light, you can definitely see the faces of Zhou's soldiers with great interest.

Xu Xian said to the old mutou next to him: "You don't seem to be worried about His Majesty."

"The winner was decided in Gaoping. Liu Chong has been the emperor for several years, and his courage and bloody spirit have long been worn away. On the contrary, His Majesty is full of enthusiasm and looks down on life and death. Have you never heard that the more fearless a person is in battle, the more likely he is to die?"

The better you can survive.”

Xu Xian nodded, "It seems reasonable!"

"You think that makes sense? Didn't I hear you wrong? You are usually a bit ruthless, but when you go into battle, you are always a little timid and not free and easy."

"Boss Mu has really good eyesight. Not only am I afraid of death but also the death of my brothers!"

"Hehe... The more you act like this, the more and more miserably they will die. As long as you are not afraid of death, they are actually not afraid of death either!" Old Mutou suddenly hissed: "It's starting. Unfortunately, it's not in front of the two armies. It's not here either.

There is no official record.”

Hearing what Old Mutou said, Xu Xian immediately understood why Chai Rong wanted to challenge Liu Chong. It turned out to be to gain prestige. Imagine that in a big battle, the fledgling Chai Rong killed the cunning Liu Chong with his own hands.

It's a huge shock outside.

Xu Xian couldn't help but look at the shadow not far away. He was indeed a great emperor whose name was recorded in history. He had full plans to kill everyone.

Da da da……

The shadow opposite Chai Rong moved, and the sacred yellow horse rushed forward with small steps. Chai Rong knocked on the horse's belly and raised his gun to meet it. The horse ran faster and faster, and the sound of the horse's hoofs on the ground was like thunder.

Rolling overhead, two shadows on horseback, one heroic and the other calm and seasoned, quickly approached in the darkness.

Suddenly, the neat and regular sound of horse hoofbeats began to become scattered, and Xu Xian heard the old Mu Tou next to him say coldly: "Liu Chong is really going to run away, he is dead!"

Xu Xian then saw the shadow representing Liu Chong turning the horse's head to the outside. If he could successfully bypass Chai Rong at this time, and the divine horse on his mount, no one would be able to stop him.

It's a long story, but it only took a short moment. At the moment when the two horses passed by each other, Chai Rong turned the head of his gun and stabbed him horizontally. In the darkness, he heard Liu Chong's scream and fell off his horse.
