C171 Alone(1)

Hiding in the palace like a trapped beast for many days, Emperor Zhou's heart was bright, he had long become a turtle in a jar. If he didn't commit suicide and die in the country, he could only wait to be captured alive. Now, Fu Si's suggestion of Southern Hunting was exactly what he wanted. "In that case, I'll follow your instructions."

"Your Majesty is wise and wise!" Fu Ting bowed and turned around to shout, "Where's Zhang Zhen?" When he turned around, he unconsciously puckered his lips. He was truly heartless...

"Zhang Zhen is here." Zhang Zhen immediately stepped forward. "Lord Fu, what orders do you have?"

"Immediately summon a hundred warhorses for His Majesty's Southern Hunting." Fu Ting pointed at the Pillglow Sect. "I order you to personally ride the imperial carriage and charge out from the Pillglow Sect to attract the enemy troops." "General, you can send five hundred troops with you. If you escape, we will meet up in Dali."

"Dali?" Emperor Zhou's legs softened, and he turned to look at Fault. "Prime minister?"

Fault shook his head and said in a low voice, "Dali is the only place where we have enemies everywhere else. If we go, we will send sheep to the tiger's mouth. " When he got closer, he said in a low voice, "There are thousands of people in the harem. If we don't leave immediately, it will be chaotic. While the eunuchs and palace maids are still in a daze, Your Majesty, let's hurry up and leave. "

Emperor Zhou was secretly alarmed by Fault's reminder. At this moment, he was determined to leave the concubines and palace people behind. If they rebelled, there would be trouble. "What the prime minister said is correct." He no longer opposed the arrangement of the Talisman Pavilion. "Everything will be arranged according to Master Fu."

"I'll surely accomplish my mission." Seeing that the Emperor had agreed, Zhang Zhen received the military order. Then, he walked in front of Emperor Zhou Wen and knelt before him. He bowed his head in a regal manner. "Your Majesty, this official will be leaving now..." He was afraid that he would not be able to protect His Majesty anymore. When he looked up, tears welled up in his eyes. "Take care, Your Majesty." He kowtowed again, but he did not get up.

From Zhang Zhen's squirming back, Fu Zhizhi could feel that the general, who could not be subdued by force, was crying. She sighed in her heart and quickly turned around: General Zhang, don't blame me. With you by His Majesty's side, it is not easy for me to do things...

"Cough - General Hu..." Fu Ting Zhi was too embarrassed to see that the emperor and his subjects had left. He called Fu Ting over and asked, "How many people do we have left?"

The retinue calculated the number of people in his heart. "We have less than seven thousand soldiers who can travel a long distance."

"That's enough." One of the pavilions waved his hand to stop the retinue and said, "Divide into front and back troops. The front troops will be led by me to protect His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince." Pausing for a moment, "The Empress, Empress Dowager, the old Prime Minister You and the other ministers will be in the rear troops. I'll leave it to you, General Hu. " Fu Ting grabbed the arm of the retainer: "Do not force yourself, do not fight to the death, His Majesty and I will count on the General. General, you must live."

The lackey looked at his hand and then looked at Fu Ting's expectant face. "I will do as you say." He took a few steps back and straightened up, then looked at Fu Zhizhi. "Ting Zhizhi must take care of himself... Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me in the future. " He led a group of ministers to the pavilion.

"Come here." Fu Ting Zhi recognized one of them, an old man from the Hu family: "Brother." Fu Ting Zhi said: "Please take good care of your family head. If you are in danger..." He leaned over and said in a low voice: "I want a living general, I don't want any heroes or martyrs. Brother, do you remember this clearly? "

The martial master nodded. "I understand. I will keep an eye on the manor lord. I won't let him act tough."

"That's good. Let's go." After the retinue had left, one of the pavilions flicked his sleeves and walked to the empress dowager's side. "Esteemed empress dowager, this official only has an official carriage. The empress, Esteemed empress dowager, and the old prime minister will squeeze together."

"Good nephew, Bengong already knew that you are not ordinary, so Bengong entrusted the Emperor to you." The empress dowager was only grateful that Fu Ting had not forgotten about her. It was reasonable to only bring the emperor and the crown prince along at a time like this.

Fu Ting did not say much and just smiled as an answer. He turned around and attacked Emperor Zhou Wen. "In order to avoid suspicion from the Great Zheng Army, Your Majesty and Your Highness must ride horses with me." Without waiting for Emperor Zhou Wen's reply, he grabbed the manor soldier cloak that Zhu Hua had brought over and personally draped it over Emperor Zhou Wen. "We have wronged His Majesty and the Crown Prince."

At that moment, the city guard had already brought the official carriage from the earl's residence and helped the two consorts and the prime minister onto the carriage. Erdong sat on the shaft of the carriage with an unwilling expression and was in charge of driving. He originally wanted to follow Fu Ting and ride the horse, but he was glared back at by his master.

"Beloved, you have thought it through thoroughly. Zhen is very pleased." Emperor Zhou Wen glanced at the Empress Dowager and company who were getting on the carriage. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at the young crown prince. "My son, don't be afraid." The crown prince replied, "This son is not afraid."

Fu Ting thought to himself, Good crown prince. Then she thought sadly, "It is a pity that I was born a few decades late... She stopped her thoughts and shouted, Please use the Virtuous Sword." Immediately, a eunuch delivered Emperor Zhou Wen's sword.

Fu Ting raised the sword and knelt down. "Your Majesty, please use your sword." The young crown prince was also infected by Fu Ting and shouted, "Father, please use your sword."

Emperor Zhou felt an inexplicable sense of pride rise in his heart. He grabbed the Virtuous Sword and said, "Alright, I'll ride a horse with my beloved minister to battle." He turned around and waved at Eunuch Liu. "Invite the Imperial Jade Seal over." Steward Liu hurriedly ran over to carry a red lacquered box and held it in front of Emperor Zhou Wen. "Your Majesty."
