Hu Yunqing was not willing to talk nonsense. Seeing that Zhu Youxu was dead, there was no need to stay here anymore. After all, there were still many things to do in Shanhaiguan.
The purpose of killing Zhu Youxu this time was to shock the people in the government and the public, so that no one would dare to continue to make plans of their own.
After talking to He Yi, he came to Xu Wei.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
When Xu Wei saw the prince walking towards him, he quickly knelt on the ground and said.
"It's okay. You worked hard this time. If anything happens, just send someone to Shanhaiguan to find me!"
The ability to kill Zhu Youxu today was all thanks to the help of the Shenji Battalion. Now Chongzhen must be angry and afraid that if he leaves, the emperor will use Xu Wei to establish his authority.
"I will obey your orders!"
Xu Wei was very happy to hear that the prince was still thinking about himself before leaving.
"Huan, pack up and set off back to Shanhaiguan immediately!"
He Yi also left the city gate and quickly returned to the palace to report to His Majesty.
"Hmph, this Hu Yunqing is really bold!"
After hearing what Hu Yunqing did, Chongzhen just sneered twice.
"Your Majesty, there are rumors circulating in the city about the possibility of Hu Yunqing establishing his own business again. Now many generals are vaguely siding with Hu Yunqing!"
This time He Yi was not slandering, but he actually said something like this. Knowing the relationship between His Majesty and Hu Yunqing, he decided to say it after thinking for a long time.
It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether this is correct or not. Your duty is to speak out.
"Ignore it and bury Prince Xianghuai as a prince!"
Chongzhen didn't believe such rumors at all, and Hu Yunqing had no such ambitions at all.
"clear!"
Chongzhen was not very angry about Zhu Youxu's death, but was dissatisfied with Hu Yunqing's behavior, so he could easily find a place where no one was around to take action.
He directly killed the prince of the Ming Dynasty in front of a large crowd at the city gate, completely ignoring him as the emperor.
It doesn't matter if Zhu Youxu died, it would also settle something in his heart. A long time ago, he had planned to secretly send people from Dongchang to get rid of Zhu Youxu, but he didn't expect to let Zhu Youxu escape, which triggered the incident. Such a series of things.
Hong Tao, who was in the house, also received the news of Zhu Youxu's death. Now it has been spread throughout the capital.
"Master, let's leave quickly! Xuan Yi may have betrayed, our people have seen it, Xuan Yi is following Hu Yunqing, and it is very likely that he will bring them here!"
Hong Tao watered the flowers leisurely, while the subordinates on the side were all uneasy, fearing that the Jin Yiwei would come to their door.
"It's okay, we can't run away when it's time to come."
Xuan Yi's defection to Hu Yunqing was also arranged by Hong Tao, who wanted to place an informant next to Hu Yunqing.
As for why he wanted to kill Zhu Youxu, a person who had no value to him might as well use his last bit of light and heat.
Xuan Yi, who defected before the battle, would never be able to gain Hu Yunqing's trust if he didn't bring a greeting when he called.
Zhu Youxu, who had little value, became the best choice.
"By the way, Xuan Yi, who are these people? Why are you trying so hard to protect Zhu Youxu?"
While Hu Yunqing was waiting, he looked at Xuan Yi and asked him some questions in his heart.
"These people are all desperadoes. We were assigned by a man in black and came here to protect Zhu Youxu. After the protection is completed, there will be many rewards."
For such a problem, Xuan Yi had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Your Majesty, everything is packed up, we can set off!"
Huan, who had finished cleaning up quickly, saw the prince and Xuan Yi standing together. He quickly came over, squeezed in between the two, and forced them to separate.
"Set off!"
Hu Yunqing and his party set off in a mighty way. After walking for two days, they came to a fork in the road.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Huan, who was in the rear, didn't know what happened. The whole team stopped, thinking that something had happened, and quickly rode to the front, came to Hu Yunqing's side and asked.
"Nothing, that's the way to Weihai."
Standing in front of the fork in the road, looking at Shanhaiguan on one side and Weihai on the other, I hesitated for a while.
“Just go directly to Weihai!”
Seeing the prince's hesitation, Juan saw the prince's responsible mood in the direction of Weihai, and quickly suggested to Hu Yunqing.
"Okay, then let's go to Weihai and have a look!"
After listening to Juan's words, Hu Yunqing also made up his mind and rode towards Weihai.
Seeing that the prince listened to him, Juan glanced at Xuan Yi with some pride to show his status in the prince's palace.
Xuan Yi had no expression on his face and quickly followed the prince on his horse.
Feeling bored, Juan returned to the back of the team.
"You have left the capital now. You can fly far away. Why do you want to stay with me?"
Hu Yunqing, who was riding at the front, looked at Xuan Yi beside him and asked him with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, save me. I can't leave like this. If that's the case, what's the difference between me and a beast!"
Listening to Hu Yunqing ask himself, Xuan Yi's heart tightened, fearing that Hu Yunqing would see something.
"Okay, you can leave now. Tell the person behind you not to play tricks on me, or I will make him like Zhu Youxu!"
Hearing that Xuan Yi refused to tell him, Hu Yunqing could guess a little and looked at Xuan Yi with a straight face and asked.
"Here, my lord, take care!"
Xuan Yi also didn't expect that he would be discovered. He felt that he had no flaws. Just when he wanted to explain, he felt weak as soon as he opened his mouth.
He could only hug Hu Yunqing and quickly ride to another road.
Huan, who had been staring at Xuan Yi from behind, saw Xuan Yi suddenly leaving. He was a little confused and quickly rode his horse to the front.
"My lord, why is Xuan Yi gone?"
"Isn't it better to leave? He was sent here to keep an eye on me!"
"No, I have long seen that something is wrong with him! I really want to catch him and beat him up, and ask him who is behind him! How dare he pull a trick in front of the prince."
Hearing that Xuan Yi was doing it carefully, Huan was extremely angry and annoyed, so he would have killed him immediately.
"It's okay. I wasn't sure just now. I just gave him a try. I didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to stand it on his own!"
It is true that Xuan Yi disguised himself and helped find Zhu Youxu. An ordinary person would definitely believe him, but Hu Yunqing always felt that something was strange.
I could only pretend to test the other party to see how Xuan Yi would react, but I didn't expect that he would actually be blown up.
