C49 (1/2)
”I've gone astray, gone astray.” It was now the middle of the night, but the outside world was bustling with noise. Even the empress, who had fallen asleep, was woken up by the commotion.
”What's going on?” When Zhang Siyan opened his eyes, he immediately saw the soaring flames outside and had a bad premonition. He thought about it in his heart, then immediately reacted in his mind as well. He grabbed the account book that was placed beside his pillow, opened the door, and rushed out while holding it in his arms, at the same time, with Zhang Siyan.
Because he was living in the Emperor's side hall, the servants of Zhang Siyan had long since been dismissed. There was no one looking for the Queen Zhang Siyan now, so Zhang Siyan didn't mind. After all, things had happened too suddenly, so it was only right for them to not have realized what had happened.
Furthermore, Zhang Siyan knew that human nature was always like that.
After opening the door and rushing out, Zhang Siyan saw the unresponsive northern guards lying on the ground. Inside the main hall, the emperor was protected by the imperial guards and he wanted to rush out the door. However, from Zhang Siyan's perspective, the situation was not looking good.
There were really a lot of assassins wearing the same clothes at night. Even though the imperial guards had a one versus ten situation, it was still very difficult for them.
Zhang Siyan looked at Zhu Youtang, where the emperor was calmly standing in the middle of the protective circle. At this moment, the dignity and might of an overlord were undoubtedly revealed.
Zhang Siyan suddenly felt admiration for the emperor, he was able to remain calm even after facing such assassination attempts. The emperor had experienced many things that ordinary people had never experienced, so he was able to be as calm as he was today.
”Your Majesty, if you trust this official, this official is willing to protect you.” It was not that Zhang Siyan had not thought of escaping first, but when he thought of how he was actually the Queen whose name was sound and true in Great Ming Dynasty, Zhang Siyan was unable to get through the trial in his heart.
In truth, deep down in Zhang Siyan's heart, he was still deeply affected by the Zhang Shan.
”Let's go, as long as the empress doesn't think that I'm a burden.” Zhu Youtang did not reject Zhang Siyan's good intentions, even though the emperor did not know what methods this male Empress had to allow him to escape.
Zhu Youtang had already known from the beginning that everything that he had done today was for himself. Compared to having the imperial guards protect him, Zhu Youtang, who was treated as a target, was more willing to flee for his life.
After all, he was the emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty. Ever since the battles over the throne between the two brothers, the royal family of the Great Ming Dynasty didn't dare to carelessly find a person to be crowned as the new ruler before the emperor died. Thus, even though he was being pursued, the Emperor wasn't anxious.
Zhang Siyan was indeed worthy of his innate talent, as he saw through the weakest part of the entire killing circle with a single glance. imperial guards had ripped an opening in the encirclement, and now the emperor was led by Zhang Siyan to escape out of the encirclement.
After saying that, Zhang Siyan held onto the emperor's hand and hurriedly rushed outside.
”Hurry up and chase after them. The escaping Emperor is the one we want. We only need to delay these imperial guards s.” A leader shouted at them to chase after the emperor.
”This way, Your Majesty. This is the jungle. As long as we enter, our chances of survival will be higher.” Zhang Siyan started to recall the topography that he had seen in the Huangzhuang in the past few days. Afterwards, he continuously dragged the emperor towards another direction with his feet.
”I'm afraid he will have to take off his Emperor's Dragon Robe.”
It wasn't easy to reach the dense forest, but Zhang Siyan himself had headed towards a different direction. However, he had managed to escape the pursuit.
It turned out that the imperial guards and the killers were split into two groups, and the people who went to chase after the Emperor's group were ultimately stopped by the imperial guards. Then, the two sides once again began a silent battle.
”I understand.”
The Dragon Robe was a very eye-catching item, especially the one with the embroidered golden threads. As long as there was a trace of light, those items could reflect light, which was why it was easy to reveal one's location.
The Huangzhuang was surrounded by dense forests, and Zhang Siyan himself was already on his way to the south from the dragon robe from before. It would still cause some confusion for those people.
”Your majesty, I'm afraid we need to go to a place with a crowd. Huangzhuang is a place to obey orders to the north, it isn't far from Cangzhou. Now, this subject can only bring His Majesty to this place. ”
”Now, in the forest, this subject only wishes to avoid the presence of guards and walls. Otherwise, your majesty, we can only stay here. ” Zhang Siyan was busy talking, but no one replied him.
Only then did Zhang Siyan turn around to take a look. Fortunately, the sky was already completely white, and he couldn't see anything clearly like at night. Your Majesty, wake up. ”
Zhang Siyan never thought that the emperor would actually be injured. Seeing that a large amount of blood had already dyed his yellow robe, Zhang Siyan began to worry. Right now, in the wilderness, the emperor was also injured. It was likely that a lot of fresh blood had been spilled along the way. If they didn't find any signs of human life, the assassin emperor would already be dead before they could even react.
”Sawtooth shaped, two feet tall, fragrant yellow flowers.” After looking for the time it took to make a cup of tea, Zhang Siyan finally found one. Thank goodness we're in the middle of the forest, where the vegetation is plentiful.
”Your Majesty, please forgive me. This subject has no intention of offending you.” As Zhang Siyan spoke, he looked at the emperor who showed no reaction, and with a harrumph, he began to remove the emperor's undergarment. After he untied his clothes, Zhang Siyan saw a lining.
Zhang Siyan took it out to have a look. It was as if the emperor knew he would be injured. Bottles after bottles of these things were filled with Gold Injury Medicine and other medicine that could treat external injuries.
