After accidentally having a cub with the prince of the enemy country

Chapter 115

The city gate of Qidu was completely breached by the Sui army, and the streets were full of fleeing nobles and common people.

Qi Ziqi woke up in the bumpy carriage. Hearing the chaotic noise outside the carriage, he suddenly realized something. He jumped up and called out urgently, "Ah Weng!"

The old servant was sitting in the car and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, young master, the old servant is here."

Qi Ziqi asked, "Where are we going?"

The old servant endured his grief, and said: "There have been some accidents in Qidu, Master Hou asked the old slave to send the young master to the countryside to take refuge, and when the turmoil is over, Master Hou will come to find you."

Having said that, the old servant's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Although Qi Ziqi was innocent, he was not stupid. Seeing the strange reaction of the old servant, and seeing the chaos outside, a kind of panic that he had never experienced before suddenly rushed to this noble boy who had lived a carefree life since he was a child. Young Master's heart.

Qi Ziqi held the old servant's hands tightly, and said: "Ah Weng, tell me the truth, is something wrong with your father?"

The old servant shook his head: "No, Lord Hou...very good, young master, don't think too much, everything will be arranged by Lord Hou. Only when young master is well, can Master Hou rest assured."

"No, you lied to me. If your father is fine, why don't you dare look into my eyes!"

"Where is the father? Where did the father go?"

Qi Ziqi was still young and had never experienced such a thing. His eyes turned red, and he looked at the old servant's trembling shoulders in a daze, and begged: "Ah, can you tell me, I want to find my father Go, I don't want to go to any country."

The old servant said in a hoarse voice: "Young master, be obedient and don't ask any more questions."

Qi Ziqi refused, so Qi Ziqi pushed open the door and loudly ordered Duan Qi to stop.

Duan Qi got Duan Hou's order, so naturally he refused, Qi Ziqi wanted to jump out of the carriage, the young man was young and strong, and the old man hugged him by the waist, but he still couldn't stop him, Duan Qi and the old man were frightened, so they could only stop and get out of the carriage.

On both sides of the car were the secret guards of the Duanhou Mansion following.

Qi Ziqi quickly climbed out of the carriage and stood on the street, looking at the Qi capital city where the flames of war were everywhere, and the bustling streets and pavilions that he was familiar with in the past were toppled into a mess, and he looked at the civilians running around with their families dragging their mouths The common people were dazed and dazed.

He grew up in joy and happiness since he was a child. He has never seen the cruelty of war, nor has he seen the displacement of troubled times. He never imagined that one day he would see with his own eyes that the mountains and rivers were broken, and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.

Qi Du is already like this, how could the father be any better.

Qi Ziqi looked around in a daze, and suddenly wanted to cry loudly, but for the first time he realized that even if he cried, his father would never return to him.

father king.

He couldn't just be separated from his father.

Even if the country is really destroyed and the family is destroyed, he will die with his father.

Qi Ziqi suddenly pushed away the hidden guard, and ran away in the same direction as he came and went.

Duan Qi was shocked, and hurriedly ran after him, the old servant also stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Go and protect the young master!"

Qi Ziqi ran against the flow of people, the cold wind slammed into his lungs, his tears were also blown into ice by the biting cold wind, and great sadness filled his entire chest.He soon lost his strength and fell to the ground.

After falling, he ignored the pain, got up and continued to run forward.

Seeing those Sui soldiers rampaging fiercely on the street, he felt sad and terrified, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, he ran a few steps, and fell to the ground again.

Everyone was running for their lives. Even though the Sui soldiers who entered the city did not harm any civilians, the Qinglang Camp was notorious. No one dared to stay in the city with peace of mind. No one would care about a nobleman who fell on the side of the road.

Qi Ziqi gritted his teeth, and when he was about to get up again, a long and beautiful hand as white as jade suddenly stretched out from midair.

Hands as beautiful as my father's.

Qi Ziqi raised his head in a daze, and saw a young man in a green shirt and jade belt, standing quietly on the messy street, looking at him, and stretched out his hand to him.

Qi Ziqi couldn't believe it.

"Chu, Chu Yan?!"

He suppressed the tears for a long time, and they fell down, asking: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yun lifted him up, looked at the oily skin on his hands, took out the gauze tape from his sleeve, bandaged him, and said: "It's so chaotic outside, you should stay in the mansion well, or listen to him Arrangements, you shouldn’t run around on the street.”

Such a familiar tone and words made Qi Ziqi's nose sore again.

When Qi Ziqi saw Jiang Yun for the first time in the Sui capital, he had an inexplicable feeling of intimacy with this strange son. After hearing this, he couldn't help it anymore, and rushed forward to hug Jiang Yun tightly.

Jiang Yun was startled.

Even if they have the most natural and intimate relationship in the world, he is not very used to being so intimate with a person.

Qi Ziqi cried like a child.

Breaking down in tears, he said: "Father, Father asked Ah Weng to send me to the countryside. I know that he deliberately dismissed me. Something must have happened to him. Chu Yan, what should I do."

In the cold wind, there were the helpless cries of the little prince.

Duan Qi and the secret guards of Duanhou's mansion chased after him first, they were surprised to see the scene in front of them, and saw the young master crying loudly while hugging a strange little man.

The old man arrived later, and when he saw Jiang Yun, he was taken aback for a moment, showing great astonishment, and then lowered his head in shame.

Jiang Yun let go of Qi Ziqi and said, "He did this for your own good. Even if you are dissatisfied with his arrangement, you shouldn't impulsively leave the guards behind and run around on the street alone."

Jiang Yun looked at the people behind and said, "Take your young master back. If he doesn't want to go to the countryside, take him back to Duanhou's mansion and let him have a good rest."

"The Sui army will not harm civilians, nor will it harm innocent people."

Qi Ziqi couldn't listen to others' words, but Jiang Yun's words made Qi Ziqi inexplicably feel soothing.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yun turned around and walked in the direction of the crowd.

Since they met, Jiang Yun always seemed to be so sparse and lonely.

Qi Ziqi chased after him and asked urgently, "Aren't you going with us? Now that the army is in turmoil, where are you going?"

Jiang Yun stopped, turned his head, smiled at him, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not alone, I have very powerful helpers."

The wind of the cold night blew over Xiao Langjun's elegant face and his blue robe belt, Duan Qi was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt that the little Lang Jun's words and deeds in front of him were indescribably familiar.

Jiang Yun walked like the wind, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Duan Qi looked away, and said to Qi Ziqi: "Young master, let's go home."

Since the young master insisted on going back, they were also willing to accompany the young master and wait for news from Lord Hou. As for the future, let's do our best to obey the destiny.

Fan Qi took his soldiers and horses to search every corner of the Qi Palace, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of King Qi.

A group of palace people were arrested and questioned, and the palace people also trembled, saying that they did not see King Qi.

Generals Xu Qiao, Yang Yang and other generals had led their troops to join Sui Heng. Xu Qiao said, "I heard that King Qi is cunning. He usually prepares many secret rooms and passages for himself in order to prevent assassins from assassinating him. It seems that this old fox probably came from Secretly escaped."

Sui Heng was determined to kill the King of Qi. He ordered people to confine all Qi officials headed by Prime Minister Tian Que into a palace. First, he took out the list in his arms, named a few names, and asked Fan Qi to lead the army. After dragging them out, they all chopped off their heads with a knife, and Fang began to ask the whereabouts of King Qi from the mouths of the remaining officials.

All the palace people were also imprisoned together.

However, after half an hour, no one could say where King Qi went.There was only one palace attendant who was sobbing, as if he saw the king change into his servant's robe and enter a palace in the southeast.

Sui Heng ordered people to go to the palaces to investigate side by side, and sure enough, a secret passage was found in one of the palaces, but there was only one servant's robe left in the secret passage, and there was no trace of King Qi.

King Qi seemed to evaporate out of thin air.

"This old fox!"

Fan Qi picked up the robe and cursed loudly.

Sui Heng said suddenly: "There's no need to look for it."

All the other generals looked at him.

Sui Heng said: "Go to Qingque Terrace."

Qingque Terrace is located in the southeast direction of the Qi Palace. It is ten feet high.

There are many pavilions and palaces on the high platform, all of which are made of gold and jade. They stretch for several miles and are extremely extravagant. Between the palaces, there are wind chimes that can warn people, and they are threaded with special silver threads.

From the outside, the fairyland in the sky and the moon palace in Yaochi are probably nothing more than this.

However, it is such a high platform built like a fairyland on earth, hiding the heaviest and most filthy sins in the world. Deep in those gorgeous palaces is not a fairyland, but purgatory.It is said that in the middle of the night, the tragic cries of teenagers can often be heard from the high platform, and the people privately call this place the ghost platform.

All the defenses in Qidu have been dismantled, and all the soldiers and horses have gathered in front of the Qingque stage.

Sui Heng raised his eyebrows, heavy the eaves of the palace, casting a layer of deep haze on his brow bone.He looked at the gorgeous palace that seemed to have no end in sight, as if he saw the helpless and thin figure that was blocked in the depths of the palace many years ago, he suddenly squeezed the handle of the knife, and his eyes rolled like clouds. Intent to kill, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed into a line, and his atrium convulsed uncontrollably again.

King Qi fled in a panic and his whereabouts were unknown. There were only a few remnants of soldiers left in front of the Qingque Terrace, and Sui Heng cleared them up without any effort.Fan Qi and Yang Li went up to the high platform to search and search all the palaces, but they didn't find King Qi's whereabouts, but they brought out many young Lord Kun.These teenagers were all wearing snow-white single gowns, trembling and kneeling in a row, looking at the tall and burly Sui Bing in front of them suddenly.

Fan Qi asked about King Qi's whereabouts, but the teenagers all said they didn't know.

Xu Qiao frowned: "Could it be that King Qi has escaped from Qidu?"

However, such a short period of time seems unlikely.

When the people of Qidu heard that the Sui army had reached Qingque Terrace, some bold ones also came to watch.Although they live in Qi State, they also have their own children, who were taken captive into Qingque when they were young.The king of Qi was tyrannical, and the people dared not speak out. When they heard that the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty was going to overthrow the Qingque Terrace, they rushed to take a look even at the risk of being slaughtered by the Sui soldiers.

Wearing a black veil, the musician also hid in the crowd, quietly looking at the high platform standing in the night, under the black veil, the corners of his lips were tightly pressed, and his face was pale.

"Your Highness."

A personal soldier suddenly came to Sui Heng and said: "There are two people claiming to be guards of Duanhou's residence, please see Your Highness."

"Duan Hou?"

Sui Heng was surprised: "The Duan Xiyue?"

The soldiers said yes.

Xu Qiao listened to it, and was also slightly surprised: "This Marquis Duan doesn't seem to have much contact with His Highness. It is said that he is deeply trusted by the King of Qi and loved by the people of Qidu. He has not been seen in the capture of King Qi's palace this time. , it's really strange. Why are the guards in his house looking for His Highness right now?"

Sui Heng directly asked those two people to come over.

Not long after, two young men in black dresses came to Sui Heng. They bowed neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Our Lord Hou ordered before leaving that there is one person who should be returned to His Highness for disposal."

A man turned around and dragged someone down from the horse behind. The man's hands and feet were tied and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth. It turned out to be Chen Qi.

Sui Heng was even more surprised.

This Marquis Duan, why did he take the initiative to exchange Chen Qi with him.

Sui Heng took a look and asked, "Your Marquis, do you have any other orders?"

The guard said no, so he saluted and left.

Xu Qiaodao: "This Marquis Duan is really strange. If he intends to please His Highness, how could he just send someone away and make no expression."

Fan Qi led his troops to search the stage again, but still did not find any trace of King Qi.However, Sui Heng must be caught alive, and his intuition told him that King Qi was probably hiding in it, but no one knew exactly where it was hiding.

Sui Heng's gaze was heavy, staring at the palaces inch by inch.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and asked Fan Qi and Yang Qiang: "Just now you led people to the stage to search, but did you meet Qingque's killer?"

The two shook their heads and said no.

This is strange, the killers of Qingquetai are well-known in the world because of their high martial arts skills, good at assassination, how could there be only ordinary Kun Jun in this huge Qingquetai, but not those killers.

Xu Qiao quickly understood: "Your Highness, what you mean is that there are secret rooms that are not known to the public?"

However, such an exquisitely constructed high platform specially used to train assassins has many pavilions, and it is not easy to find its core and most secret place. It is said that a group of rangers with the most powerful martial arts in all countries tried to break into Qingque Terrace , spying on the secrets, were all wounded by the authorities in the pavilion, without success.

If outsiders want to find the secret room, it may be as difficult as reaching the sky.

Xu Qiaodao: "Now this place has been besieged by His Highness, according to my subordinates, it would be better to burn it directly, no matter how powerful his mechanism, no matter how secret his hiding place is, it will be burned to ashes."

"Burn is burn."

"But King Qi, Gu must be caught alive."

Sui Heng said without hesitation.

Although Xu Qiao didn't know why Sui Heng had such an obsession, since His Royal Highness had captured the Sui capital, it was reasonable to want to capture King Qi and dispose of him in public or decapitate him.

There was another sound of hooves from behind.

Xu Qiao saw that it was Fan Zhou, Yun Huai and a team of Jiangguo Qingqi.

Xu Qiao knew the news about Jiang Yun and Chen Bingyong outside the city, so he said unexpectedly: "Why did you two come here in person?"

Fan Zhou and Yun Huai ran to the death of the three horses and galloped all the way without even drinking their saliva. The three met Li, Fan Zhou asked, "Did General Xu see our Majesty?"

Xu Qiao was taken aback.

"Your Majesty?"

"Yes, after His Majesty woke up, he left the jade seal for His Highness, and then disappeared. Someone saw that His Majesty brought a team of silver-clothed guards and came towards Qi."

"The silver-clothed guards travel thousands of miles every day, and I'm afraid they have already entered the city. We were worried, so we rushed here."

Sui Heng frowned, and was about to ask a question, when Yang Li suddenly pointed upwards and said, "Look, Your Highness."

Not only Sui Heng, but everyone looked up and saw that on the dark high platform, a palace suddenly burst into flames.

At first, it was just one piece, but in a short time, the flame quickly spread to the entire Qingque Terrace.

King Qi sat on a soft couch with a wine cup in his hand, and there were two young men in snow robes kneeling beside him. Even though the outside was besieged by heavy soldiers, he was still intoxicated in his gold nest, enjoying himself to his heart's content.

The door of the secret pavilion was pushed open, and a piece of black clothes embroidered with silver thread brushed over the jade steps, the ground, passed through the heavy veils, and walked step by step to the deepest couch.

King Qi looked at the people who came, drove the teenagers out, patted the soft couch and said: "Shunying, come and sit, I will know that you are the only one in the world who can find me."

"The widow has never had any secrets in front of you, even this most secret hiding place, I let you know."

Duan Xiyue sat down on one side of the jade steps, put down the wine in her hand, and said: "I brought the king's favorite wine."

King Qi staggered up and sat down on the jade steps. Looking at the wine, he said, "Yes, you and I have not had a drink with each other for a long time. Today, let's drink to our heart's content and get drunk. .”

Duan Xiyue took out two wine cups and filled them up.

King Qi picked up one, smelled it, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's Du Kang, my favorite."

King Qi drank the wine in one gulp, smashed it twice, and said, "Shunying, I think back then, when I saw you for the first time, I thought that I must get you. But I am afraid , In the end, I still didn’t dare to do it. I know that you are talented, ambitious, and want to do something, and I will help you. You are the first person who is willing to restrain your selfish desires and praise you.”

"In order to please you, the widow can give Ziqi the surname of the country, and even willingly give you half of the country. But you, in the end, betrayed the widow."

"The widow really doesn't understand, how can the widow feel sorry for you."

Duan Xiyue said: "Eight years ago."

"Eight years ago, you kidnapped an 11-year-old child into Qingquetai."

King Qi was taken aback.

Then he dodged his eyes.

"It's the widow's fault. The widow promised you at the time that she would stop playing with children who were too young, but that one really looks too much like you, so the widow couldn't hold back..."

Duan Xiyue smiled sadly.

"Three years."

"Three years."

"He was tortured by you for three full years under my nose."

"You have done me a great favor, but you also gave me the deepest and most painful pain."

King Qi looked at Duan Hou blankly.

"Shunying, you, what do you mean by that?"

The flames suddenly ignited outside the hall, King Qi was shocked, staggered to get up, a sudden pain in his chest made him vomit black blood, he felt his legs and feet as well as his whole body were rapidly paralyzed, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Duan Hou stood up and said calmly: "Today, let the sins you and I have committed be burned together in this fire."

The fire spread rapidly and engulfed the entire Qingque Terrace.

Emperor Jiang wore a white robe and hid himself in the crowd. Looking at his blazing fire, he suddenly stepped out of the crowd, facing the soaring fire, and walked towards the high platform.

The situation was too sudden, and the silver-clothed guards were pushed back a few feet away by him. When they found out the situation, they quickly rushed forward, but Jiang Di's figure had disappeared in the flames.

The Sui army did not expect Jiangdi's sudden crazy behavior. Fan Zhou and Yun Huai were both shocked. Sui Heng flew up to stop them. He quickly hooked Jiang Di's body.

Jiang Yun flew down, pulled Emperor Jiang out, knocked him unconscious with a palm, and said: "You have no right to see him again, and you have no right to bother him any more."

Then he handed over the man to the silver-clothed guard who came later.

Jiang Yun turned his head, smiled at Sui Heng, and said, "Wait for me."

After that, looking up at the violent flames, he jumped and rushed into the high platform.
