Chapter 5, Escape from the Underworld

Yin Zhi and Yin Zhi turned around with faces full of loyalty and filial piety and left

Uh, the modern name here is Shijiazhuang

Everyone should prepare for the worst

As for where to go after reaching the Yangtze River, this has not been decided yet

Xiao Rou took a while to understand what he was asking

Yin Rang said loudly, while signaling Fei Yanggu, indicating that he should express his position, whether to support me or him. However, Fei Yanggu said nothing, as his son-in-law, the young idol, had not spoken. Under normal circumstances, the Fourth Prince had little hope, as neither the establishment of the legitimate heir nor the eldest son would fall to him. Even if he were to forcefully seize it, due to age constraints, he had not yet developed sufficient power. However, if Yin Zhi and the Crown Prince were to fight for the throne, then the Fourth Prince would have an opportunity.

Yang Feng picked up a round object from the horn of the divine beast and placed it on his head, then shouted towards Xiao Rou

He loudly asked the little girl behind him.

"Elder brother, I have said that such matters do not require your involvement"

She said weakly

The grand drama of the struggle for the throne unfolded in such a hurried manner

Yang Feng was not concerned about safety issues. Throughout the night, he drove recklessly, changing motorcycles twice and bypassing several cities, which took a full eight hours. Relying on his youthful and strong physique, along with the Golden Dragon in his hand that seemed to enhance his stamina, otherwise he would have been exhausted. In the end, he was nearly on the verge of collapse, but the result was that he covered three hundred kilometers. At that time, there were no telegraphs or telephones... Even with the highest level of urgency, the 800-li express, it would have been impossible to transmit the message from Beijing to here before dark...

I see, then hold on tight!

He bet correctly

Staying here? Waiting for that old man to die, so that Yinreng can casually call a guard to take him aside?

Of course, these are not important; at worst, I can wear a mask on my face in the future

Thus, life and death ultimately depend on fate. Fortunately, he is the Son of Heaven, so it is likely that Heaven will take care of him. However, it is also possible that it may not, after all, Heaven is certainly not a banner man. In summary ... ...

The third brother, who shares the same breath as him, immediately said.

However, the leader Yin Zhi could not sit still

Yin Rang glared at him fiercely

Yin Rang said with a gloomy expression

It is important that it has become purulent, as this is the most dangerous aspect

Yang Feng turned over and mounted this divine beast, patting its back as he spoke

The culprit behind all this was already fast asleep under the covers in a small inn in Huo Lu County by dawn

In fact, he was very happy; he was the crown prince, the legitimate heir. Once Kang Mazi passed away, he would naturally ascend to the throne. Anyone else who dared to seize power would be committing treason. As he spoke these words, he casually glanced at his elder brother Yinqi, his third brother Yinzhi, his eighth brother Yinzeng, and of course, the young idol, especially the latter.

What is the use of staying here? We do not understand medicine, and with these imperial physicians and the various mothers attending to him, are we, as sons, just going to watch the evil person who harms our Emperor escape? Once he flees into the mountains and forests, it will be difficult to find him again. If he returns to his lair, can we still chase him to that Kunlun? Let’s go, I cannot bear this indignation. I cannot just watch our Emperor suffer while allowing the culprit to escape. The Crown Prince is occupied with state affairs, so leave the pursuit of the evil person to me

However, it was not long before the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Institute, trembling with fear, informed Yinreng, along with a group of disordered masters including Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, and Concubine De, that the Emperor's condition was very poor. Firstly, his right eye was certainly blind, with half of the eyeball obscured and the eyelid charred to a crisp. Even without being a doctor, one could tell that he was definitely blind. Secondly, more than half of his face was burned, especially with a portion of his nose burned away and half of his lips charred. Although these injuries did not impair functionality, his face would be unrecognizable in the future.

Come up!

I was sold at a very young age, and I have forgotten the roads of my hometown

Yin Rang then exchanged a glance with his wife's cousin, the son of the Grand Minister of Imperial Guards, Suo E Tu, named Xin Yu. The latter understood the implication and nodded in agreement, indicating that his father would not allow these clowns to interfere with the important matter of the Crown Prince's succession. Although Suo E Tu had not been favored in recent years, his status as the foremost minister of the Kangxi era still held weight. Who were Yin Zhi's group? Was it not just Yin Zhi's maternal grandfather, Ming Zhu? With Minister Suo around, it was not the turn of Minister Ming to act recklessly.

The road near Zhuozhou has become quite smooth, and he decisively twisted the throttle to over 70, swiftly arriving in front of the city gate.

How shameless! You still dare to hunt down the demon to avenge the Emperor. If you all didn't gather your followers to turn against me the moment the Emperor dies, then what have I lived for all these years? You think it's that easy to leave? You all should stay here obediently, waiting for that old fool to kick the bucket so I can take the throne, and then I'll deal with you bunch of scoundrels one by one.

Yang Feng said

The Green Camp soldiers in Zhuozhou were indeed merely standing in formation, as motorcycles traveling at a speed of seventy raced past them like the wind. Before they could react, the motorcycles had already surged through the city gate, along the deserted streets of the night. In the blink of an eye, they had traversed this small city, which is less than two kilometers in length from north to south, and then burst out through the southern gate into the boundless darkness.

Xiao Rou looked around in confusion, grasped his outstretched hand, stepped onto a peculiar stirrup, and awkwardly mounted up, feeling at a loss as she looked down beneath her. At that moment, the divine beast shot forth a dazzling light from its eyes, illuminating the path ahead as if it were broad daylight, followed by a deep, resonant roar.

Hold my waist

Although he could bypass the city on the open plain, there is no time left now, as the cavalry is only two kilometers behind. At such a short distance, the speed of warhorses is not much inferior to that of off-road motorcycles. If he seeks a small path to circumvent the city, they can directly enter the city and block him ahead.

At this moment, Kang Mazi had already been swiftly sent back to the palace, where the waiting imperial physicians rushed forward to begin the rescue of His Majesty, who was already in a state of high fever and unconsciousness

Hello, little sister, hurry and serve Brother Ma back! If it gets any later, I fear he won't be saved!

Yin Rang said fiercely

However, the latter did not respond much

At this moment, Kang Mazi is still lying on the hospital bed fighting for his life, while his sons have already begun to reveal their true intentions for the throne.

After Yin Zhi left the palace, he immediately began to gather loyal and righteous individuals under the banner of pursuing and eliminating the demon. Meanwhile, Suo E Tu's subordinates also spread out overnight, starting to move around Beijing. His old rival, Ming Zhu, was not to be outdone either; the two had been in conflict for half a lifetime, and it was only natural that they would continue to clash at this moment. Even the princes and ministers within Beijing began to choose sides. This was not like the historical moment when Kang Ma Zi was on his deathbed, and the struggles among his sons had already yielded results. Now, all the wolf cubs had just been deliberately stirred up by him to awaken their desire for battle. Originally, he was enjoying the fun of directing and manipulating his puppets from the sidelines, but who would have thought that the director would suddenly be gone, leaving a group of actors to fend for themselves.

Since this is the case, let's go all in!

Is your home around here

What he needs to do now is to sleep, eat, and rest, to recover his strength, and then continue to speed along at the same pace in the evening. As long as he can ensure that he runs four hundred kilometers at night, he can always arrive ahead of the news sent from Beijing. Thus, he will continue to head south until he reaches the Yangtze River

Well, it is actually a motorcycle

Let us go home, gather the servants, I am going to hunt down that demon. Who is willing to accompany me

With a long howl from Yang Feng, he suddenly dragged a divine beast from the void, causing Xiao Rou beside him to instinctively exclaim in surprise

Don't be ridiculous, this is not a television drama

The cool off-road motorcycle with a 250cc engine roared as it sped down the ancient official road on a night in 1700, its speed instantly exceeding 50. Behind it, a large number of torches flooded the position of the carriage like a river. Soon, the same river followed in pursuit, but unfortunately, the elite cavalry of Kang Mazi were destined to be unable to catch up with the high technology of three hundred years later. The pursuing group was quickly left far behind by Yang Feng, and soon the dark city of Zhuozhou appeared ahead, where he could even see a group of torches rushing out from within the city.

Xiao Rou shyly embraced his waist

It is evident that the garrison here is already aware that their emperor has been kidnapped

He suddenly stood up and shouted

Yin Zhi does not care about him, the Crown Prince, which is indeed unchangeable. However, the throne can be seized in addition to being inherited. Once Yin Rang ascends to the throne, a single command can confine him to his home for a lifetime, rendering any thoughts futile. For now, it is best to escape while pursuing the demon, as there are plenty of people outside willing to take risks for wealth and honor. Engaging in activities in Tongzhou or Fengtai can provide a complete opportunity to compete.

As long as one can find a place to hide in a time when the emperor is far away and the sky is high, it suffices. In this era, there are no cameras; even if there were portraits for capture, it is likely that those drawn by artists based on eyewitness accounts would be... and then printed like traditional New Year pictures. Ultimately, finding him among the vast sea of people would be...

Yes, we will go to take revenge on that demon for our Emperor.

"Elder brother, third brother, there is no need for you to concern yourselves with such matters; let the servants below handle it. We shall stay here and take good care of our father, the Emperor"

Ah?

Yang Feng kindly shouted to the young palace maid who was driving the carriage, and at the same time, he suddenly twisted his right hand, causing the divine beast beneath him to roar and dart out at an extremely fast speed

The latter was gripping his waist in terror, her face pressed tightly against his back, and the sensation of two soft objects being squeezed in between brought Yang Feng great satisfaction. He remembered that this young girl was from Zhuozhou.

Hi

This can only be a gamble. The notification received in Zhuozhou City must be that the demon who has kidnapped the emperor is on the way. Now, seeing the lights, they naturally know that the demon has arrived, but they cannot possibly know that Kang Mazi has already been rescued. This means they are not here to intercept; they are merely here to line up and show their loyalty. In fact, just like in Fangshan and Wanping, they will open the city gates and allow passage.

Dispatch urgent orders across four hundred miles to capture this demon and avenge the Emperor!
