Chapter 1373: How desolate(1/2)
(There is probably only this chapter today. I will work hard to write it. I don’t know when it will come out. Everyone doesn’t have to wait. It will be fine to read it together in the future. There are not many chapters anyway.)
The king looked at the last few people gathered in the mountain depression again sadly.
The enemy will not give up their pursuit and hunting just because they have become fallen dogs.
In just three days, the nearly 3,000 people who rushed out were only less than 500 people in front of him.
When fighting against the river by the Qiqiong River, everyone can still muster up the courage to unite and fight against powerful enemies together and fight a path of blood.
But after rushing out, facing the enemy's pursuit, he could no longer gather people's hearts.
The first thing that dispersed were the young and strong men who rushed out together.
Or they also realized that the target of the enemy's pursuit was not them.
Compared with the emperors and those nobles in the team, the low lives of these enemies are not worth much energy for them. When they see it, they encounter it, and they catch it and kill it. If they can't see it, they can't chase it, so they will follow them.
After such a thing happened many times in the past three days, these young and middle-aged men finally understood one thing, that is, they would sooner or later die.
So, in the darkness, these people escaped into the dense forest in groups.
Finally, it developed into broad daylight, and some people suddenly ran away without warning and hid in the forest.
No one has the strength to chase them.
Because they even have food now become a problem.
After the young and strong civilians, the Zheng family also fled, and in the end, even the Xiang family also fled. Only the orphans and widows of the Rong family were left who were really unable to escape, so they stayed.
Of course, there is also an emperor Li Ke.
At this moment, all the ceremonial guards have been abandoned. The complete set of crowns worn on the body in the previous battle to boost morale had long been thrown away, and only a short suit that was convenient for running away.
Looking at Li Ke who was sitting in a miserable state, the king suddenly realized that when this person, who should be the most noble person in the world and has the highest noble blood, was no different from an ordinary person without the brilliance of this layer of identity.
Fortunately, the emperor's legs and feet were quite neat and his equestrian skills were not bad, so he could barely keep up with the team.
Speaking of which, these foundations were built when he was at Wuwei Academy.
In fact, Wang also knew that if this continues, he would definitely not be able to escape.
People like me are completely unfamiliar with Lang Son's terrain. The guides from the past have long known where they went. However, the enemy is a real local snake.
Sooner or later I will be caught up.
"General Wang!" A captain came up.
"What's the matter?" Wang asked again.
The captain lowered his voice and said, "We have tried our best. Liu Xinda is a matter that no one expected. When it comes to this point, we should always think about it. With these people, it won't take long to take us to catch up, and then we will be dead."
Teng Jian was silent for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
Not saying anything is actually a statement.
The captain showed joy on his face, bowed and bowed to the king again, turned around and left.
Wang watched the captain walk to one tired soldiers after another, whispering something to them, and then smiles appeared on the faces of the soldiers.
Obviously, everyone's opinions are consistent.
It was because of this that Wang did not express his opinion.
Because if he rejects it at this time, he is afraid that the soldiers will mutiny. Not only will he not be able to control the situation, but he will also take his own life.
To be honest, these soldiers have tried their best. Whether it was their earlier battle by the Qiqiong River or their escape in the past few days, they all fought their best.
Since things are no longer possible, they think about themselves and there is nothing to blame at all.
In fact, these people are more respectable than the families that escaped earlier, after all, they fought until the last moment.
Or, it's time to think about it yourself.
If you get rid of these burdens, it is not a problem to escape by yourself, but where to go? Go back to find the large army? The king shook his head again, threw away the emperor, lost the core figures of several major families, and lost the wealth prepared by Xiang to start a new business in Annan. After returning, can he survive?
What else can be done besides a dead end?
Forget it, everything in the past is considered a dream of life. After leaving this time, find a quiet place to spend the rest of your life!
Wang smiled bitterly again, shook his head, and after working hard for half a lifetime, Huang Liangmeng was still the only dream.
The sudden sound of horse hooves and sharp police whistles came from behind, and Wang stood up suddenly.
The enemy is coming again.
He turned over and dismounted, and the soldiers under his command immediately stood up. Without the king's instructions, Saya started running away. This time, no one greeted the elderly, weak, women and children, and no one paid attention to Emperor Li Ke and his wife.
Li Ke watched the soldiers running wildly, and no one came to serve them on the horse. It was not until Wang You's war horse passed by him that he suddenly realized.
They were abandoned.
Li Ke screamed, turned over and climbed up immediately.
"Your Majesty, bring me with you!" The queen reached out and grabbed his calf.
Looking at the queen's face full of panic, Li Ke hesitated for a moment, bent down and stretched out his hand, trying to pull the queen on horseback as well.
But at this time, the dense sound of horse hooves behind him had already come, and the enemy's shouts were clearly heard.
Li Ke gritted his teeth, straightened his body, stretched out his legs suddenly, kicked the queen's heel to the ground with one foot, and then grabbed the war horse with both legs and ran forward.
The queen fell to the ground, tried her best to raise her head, and looked at Li Ke's back in disbelief. Is this his husband who has been sleeping with her for several years?
Li Ke was in tears and ran wildly on his horse.
In a moment, only the old, weak, women and children of Rong were left here. They crowded into a group of people and curled up on the roadside.
A pair of big feet stopped in front of the queen.
"I am the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, I can't wait to be rude!" The queen bravely got up and stood in front of the other party with her head held high.
"General Fu, there is a big fish. This man claims to be the queen of the Tang Dynasty!" The soldier turned around and screamed in surprise.
"No matter what kind of bird he is, he has arrested them, and the brothers are short of wives, they will be arrested. Then, I will give you a guest!" Fu Lei rode his horse and laughed forward.
The soldier was overjoyed: "Brothers, tie them up. Tie these women. Don't hurt them. Maybe they will be your guests in the future!"
The queen watched all this in despair and listened to all this.
A short knife held in his hand in his sleeve, at this moment, finally stabbed him in his chest without hesitation.
The blood rushed out and she fell to the ground in awe.
The soldier looked at a young and beautiful woman in shock and angrily, and a brother's wife was gone.
"Search, search carefully, no more deaths are allowed!" he shouted.
Li Ke ran wildly on a horse.
"Wait for me, wait for me!" he shouted loudly.
The lieutenant who was riding a horse in front turned around and looked at Li Ke who was like a ghost in the boots, and then looked at the pursuers who had already appeared. He gritted his teeth, took out the crossbow bow from his waist, turned his string, and raised the crossbow arrow in his hand towards Li Ke.
With a sound of rays, the crossbow arrow broke through the air.
It was impartial and hit Li Ke's chest.
Li Ke screamed, then threw it off the horse with a look down on the sky. The war horse sighed and continued to rush forward.
He was not wearing armor, and the arrow was almost feathered, and fell to the ground, and he struggled in pain.
The captain turned around and shouted at the pursuers, "That person is Emperor Li Ke, for you. Don't chase me anymore. If you are anxious, fight with you. Even if you die, you will have to take some people to take the blame."
Fu Lei sterned his war horses, and stood up with the neighing sound. When his huge hooves fell, they fell to the dying Li Ke.
Fu Lei turned over and dismounted, raised his hand, and all his subordinates behind him stopped.
Fu Lei half bent down and grabbed Li Ke.
"Who are you?"
"I am the Emperor Li Ke of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke's eyes actually looked energetic at this moment.
Fu Lei burst into laughter, who didn't know that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Ze of the Tang Dynasty?
He reached out to Li Ke's arms without hesitation and touched him randomly. He took out a jade pendant and a private seal. He took it in his hand and saw it. It was indeed not bad. It was Li Ke.
He laughed and stood up, Li Ke fell to the ground again, the spirit in his eyes gradually disappeared, and finally he disappeared.
"Brothers, this pseudo-emperor has been caught by us. Let the rest of the people go with them. There is no need to fight with them." Fu Lei shouted: "Take this man's body with you and let's go back."
Many soldiers answered in unison.
Those who can escape to this place can be said to be elite. Fu Lei really feels that there is no need to drive these people into a poor alley to fight a trapped beast. It is not worth it to die a few brothers!
In Shenglong Mansion, Liu Xinda walked out of the bedroom for the first time in more than ten days. The dazzling sun made him squint his eyes involuntarily, and after adapting for a while, he opened it again.
The weather is really good today!
The flowers in the garden are also blooming in full bloom.
Unfortunately, my body is getting worse day by day.
The internal injuries caused by the explosion in Xiangtan finally broke out.
