Hearing this, Captain Chen naturally fell silent.
Although he is not in the capital all year round, he is very clear about the friendship between the Third Highness and the Ninth Highness.
But to be honest, if these three highnesses really couldn't bear to part with the ninth highness, they should put the ninth highness in the capital, so that they could take care of each other.
Moreover, although Emperor Yong now seems to only want to make Prince Liang the crown prince.
However, after all, it is just a rumor now. As long as the news is not announced, anyone has a chance to become the prince. At this time, bringing His Highness Ninth Prince to Voodoo's side, wouldn't it mean that he also cuts off his chance to inherit the throne?
However, no matter what Chen Duwei thought, Zhao Yanzhen obviously had no intention of telling Chen Duwei about his future plans to enter Beijing.
The Loeb Mountain is covered with snow, but the lake at the foot of the mountain reflects the blue sky and white clouds like a bright mirror.
At this time, a dozen people in awkward shapes were only protecting a tall and thin man over Loeb Mountain.
When they saw Loeb Lake at the foot of the mountain, the young man next to the man only cheered loudly, "We have passed Loeb Mountain and are now in the territory of Koso. Your Highness, it won't take long for us to return to the royal court." Got it!"
However, facing the soldier's words, the face of the young man called His Highness was still very gloomy.
Although his life has always been rough and he has been at a low point, he has at least turned around through his own efforts.
He originally thought that after this battle, he would be able to turn around and impress his father who looked down on him.
But he had planned carefully for so long, but he still failed.
He could even imagine what kind of expression his father would show towards him.
When he thought of his expression, he was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of blood.
When the soldiers around him saw He Rong vomiting blood, they were so frightened that they quickly said to He Rong, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
When He Rong heard this, he just glanced at the soldier coldly, and then he just pushed away the soldier who came to help him, and wiped the blood on his lips nonchalantly.
Then he went straight down the mountain.
However, although they barely escaped from the poisonous gas hole, he had inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas at that time, and he did not have time to rest, so he was exhausted from traveling all the way.
Therefore, he only took a few steps forward bravely, and finally fell to the ground softly.
Fortunately, the people who escaped with him were all his own soldiers, so soldiers immediately helped him up after he fell to the ground.
But it was also because of his fainting that the soldier who lifted him up only said to the soldiers behind him who also looked very tired, "Let's take a rest on the edge of Loeb Lake first. After we have rested, we will Let’s go again!”
Hearing the words of the guard, the other soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief, and they all gathered towards the Loeb River. .
Unexpectedly, a group of people had already gathered by the Nalebu River at this time. Suddenly, the group of people who had fled all the way here couldn't help but become wary, but as they slowly approached, they soon discovered that the group of people gathered together seemed to be just living and cooking, and judging from their clothes, they seemed It is the residents of Corso.
Realizing that it was one of their own, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, those people had already prepared meals.
However, when they discovered the outsiders, they couldn't help but turn their attention to this group of outsiders.
And after they discovered that although this group of people were dressed in rags, they still looked like they were wearing armor, their eyes when they looked at the dozen people were full of hatred and wariness, and even the men among the refugees only picked up their hands at the same time. Use whatever is handy as a weapon.
"Who are you?" Soon the men among the refugees began to protect the women and children behind them. At the same time, they only used the simple homemade weapons in their hands to point at the dozen people in He Rong's group.
These soldiers, who were already highly nervous, immediately drew out the knives in their hands when they saw the hostility on the other side.
Fortunately, the personal guard who was carrying He Rong had already seen from the clothes and demeanor of this group of people that they did not seem to be pursuing them.
Therefore, the guard had to first signal to those behind him
Soldiers don't have to rush in first.
Then he only answered the words of the group of refugees, "We are Koso soldiers who have just returned from the border of Yongdi. We have no ill intentions. We just want to rush back to the royal court and take a break here by the way."
Although the refugees still looked wary after hearing that they were soldiers. However, after hearing that they were not soldiers coming from the interior, their vigilance relaxed a little.
However, they obviously still disliked seeing these soldiers, so they only said, "If you don't want anything to happen, you'd better stay away from us."
The guard had a good temper, and he didn't mind the expulsion of these people. After all, what he cares more about than these is that in this season, he can actually see these refugees at the foot of the snow-covered Loeb Mountain.
You must know that when this season comes, there will be no grazing land when the weather is freezing. Most people would go to towns because of the cold wave, but in this season, they went to the foot of Mount Loeb. This was really abnormal.
And judging from their appearance, they seemed to be very wary of their own soldiers.
However, he also knew that in this situation, if he asked them directly, they would definitely not answer his questions truthfully.
Therefore, he only planned to explore again later.
Even to lower their guard. He followed his instructions and only kept a dozen meters away from this group of refugees.
After he distanced himself from it, he only spread his cloak on the grass. Then he placed He Rong on the cloak.
The other soldiers set their sights on the pots and pans of the refugees. Looking at the steam coming out of the boiler, they swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
After all, they were escaping in a hurry, so they naturally didn't bring much dry food with them. Plus, they were fleeing all the way and it was winter, so they didn't have time to look for any food.
Now once they relaxed and looked at the steaming heat on the opposite side, they also found that they were hungry.
The group of refugees they were watching were obviously very nervous.
Fortunately, although this group of people were staring at them, they had no intention of coming to snatch food from them.
Therefore, the group of people quickly ignored them and only did what they should do.
After the personal guard placed He Rong, he naturally quickly discovered the needs of other soldiers.
When he was about to say that he was hungry and go find something to eat, someone tugged on his sleeve.
He followed his gaze and found that the person tugging on his sleeve was a young girl of mixed Yongdi and Qiangmo blood.
The little girl was dressed in rags, and she was obviously the child of the refugees, but her black hair and black pearl-like eyes still made him think of He Rong lying on the ground unconsciously.
He unconsciously softened his voice. At the same time, he just squatted down and asked the little girl, "Little girl, do you need my help with anything?"
The little girl shook her head when she heard this. At the same time, she only opened an oil-paper bun, and saw a few pieces of dried milk skin in the oil-paper bun.
Although this is a very common staple food for them, this dried milk skin is like a delicacy to people who have not eaten anything normal for several days.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the oiled paper bun.
At the same time, the little girl only took the initiative to say to the guard, "Uncle, this is for you to eat."
At this moment, the guard felt a little hard to refuse the girl's kindness. However, the situation of these refugees may not be better than theirs.
What's more, you must not have the intention to harm others, but you must also have the intention to guard against others.
So the guard just pushed the oil-paper bun and said, "You should keep these things to eat. We can wait until we enter the town."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach made a rumble.
When the little girl saw this, she raised her pastry higher towards the guard. She whispered, "Uncle, just eat a little. I think you must be very hungry, and there is a lot of chaos in the city now. You might have had nothing to eat in the past.”
"The city is in chaos? Why is the city in chaos?" The guard quickly grasped the point of the matter.
However, the little girl was not the age of the governor after all. When faced with the questions from the guards, the little girl shook her head blankly. She whispered, "I don't know. There are so many uncles smashing various stalls! They are still Beating people everywhere!”
"Uncle, you can eat. I know that you are different from those bad uncles. You are my father's friends. My mother said that our father is also guarding the mountain on Mount Loeb. My father is a good man. , so you must all be good people, right."
Hearing the girl's childish words, the bodyguard understood that the girls seemed to have gone to join their father. Their father might be a soldier near Loeb Mountain. Thinking of this, the bodyguard also accepted them. The girl held up the dry nipple in front of him.
Then he only searched for it in his arms for a while, and finally he handed a small gold ornament in the shape of a flower in his arms to the girl as a thank you gift to the girl.
This was the only valuable thing on his body, and he originally wanted to give it to his beloved girl.
But he really didn't want to get the little girl's gift in vain. After all, after this meeting, they might never see each other again.
The little girl didn't know how valuable this thing was, but because of her natural love for beautiful things, the little girl happily accepted the reward from the guard.
"Huahua is so beautiful. I knew my uncle was a good person. Thank you uncle." The little girl obviously couldn't put it down for the little gold jewelry.
While the little girl was playing with the small gold ornament, the little girl's mother came back from washing the pots and finally discovered that her child was not among the refugees. When she was searching hurriedly, she soon discovered that her child was among the soldiers just now. around.
