Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 182: Save the Little Emperor
Looking at the remnants of the Song army in front of me and looking eagerly at my Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu, I can't say anything if I refuse.
They let me run away with the little emperor, which means they trust me, and I'm their only hope!
I know that once this thing is done, the purpose of coming to the shady space is accomplished, but I can't even look at the surrounding sea.
“Mr. Zhang, please leave the last trace of blood for Big Song! We'd rather stay dead.” Zhang Shijie fell on his knees and followed Lu Xiufu and many other soldiers on his knees. His eyes stared eagerly at me as if I were their last life-saving straw.
I held the little emperor, only seven years old, and he looked at the crowd with a strange calm, and he was not afraid, because I could feel his hand clamping my arm, but at this moment he was very calm: “Don't worry, General, I will be fine. ”
Then he turned his head and looked at me, but the soft and glutinous voice did not lose its temper: "Mr. Zhang, you have a great sense of magnitude, you will definitely come up with a solution. ”
I sighed a long time, first I looked at the little emperor, then I looked at the crowd: “I can take the emperor first, but... if the pursuit of soldiers continues, it is really difficult for me to keep him safe. ”
“Mr. Zhang is assured that since we are going to flee, we will naturally be ready.” After Zhang Shijie finished, several soldiers pushed a boy about the age of the little emperor out.
The little boy has the seal around his neck!
I looked at the crowd in shock. I know what this means without them explaining it. They are asking this little boy to replace the little emperor, so the enemy won't even notice that the little emperor has been packed...
Honestly, I'm not very receptive. From childhood to adulthood, what I accept is the idea of equality for all. No one's life is cheaper. But I know it's not appropriate to say this at this time, because nobody forced the little boy, and from his calm eyes he could see that he was voluntary.
I can't evaluate this behavior, I just know that this all-powerful momentum touched me and made me cry.
“I see.” I nodded, and then I looked at the little emperor: "Your Majesty, I will take you with me now, and no matter what happens, don't make a sound, okay? ”
He nodded, I held him without saying a word and jumped off the sea from the enemy's dead corner. At the moment I jumped, I heard Zhang Shijieba's sword attack.
They were confusing the enemy, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu, not even a soldier escaped. The fake little emperor stood calmly against the enemy on the dragon boat. No one could have guessed that me and the little emperor had escaped.
The sea filled my mouth and nose, and I held my breath and lifted the little emperor's head out of the water, slowly swimming to the side.
Of course, I dare not let him always float on the water, basically hold his breath and breathe again, so that the psychological and physical qualities of the little emperor are good, the journey is very calm, which makes me a lot less trouble.
There are mountains on both sides of the cliff gate, so there is no way to keep too many soldiers in the mountains, I just have to swim to the side of the mountain and take the little emperor from the mountain.
If the Yin spirits were not worn out in the Great War, I could have let them take me and the Little Emperor with them. Unfortunately, even the strong Yieh Fei spirits were extinguished in the Great War, let alone the others.
Now that my spiritual power is exhausted, I can no longer use the Yin and Yang technique, so I can only escape the day I was born.
From time to time, wounded soldiers fell on our side, but we couldn't help but swim hard. Along the way, enemy soldiers saw us, and I killed them all before they shouted. And because it was night, with a little attention, it was difficult to be spotted, so there were only two or three enemy soldiers encountered along the way, and they were all injured in the water, which was easy to solve.
I don't know how long I've been swimming, I just know that the sound behind me is diminishing and the sky is slowly brightening so I feel weak in all my limbs. Is the Emperor lying on my back not knowing if he's asleep or has passed out?
To my delight, the coast is right in front of me.
I took a deep breath and rushed to the shore before my strength was completely exhausted. I threw the little emperor ashore and climbed back up myself.
After that, I lay ashore for half an hour before feeling a little conscious. The little emperor next to me woke up and asked pale face if I was safe.
I shook my head: "As soon as we got ashore, we had to leave immediately. ”
Had it not been for the lack of strength, I would have fled with the little emperor for a moment when I was ashore, but if I hadn't pursued the soldiers, I would have lost a lot of money to the Yuan army.
After all, this is the Song Army's fight to defend the national temperament, no one has a living thought. Such a belief, the outbreak of power is very scary!
I struggled to get up and hold the little emperor and look at the sea again, even so far apart, I could still see the dense, numb corpses floating at sea.
Those are all Song Jun, okay, they didn't die with despair this time, they throw in the sea with hope at least.
The little emperor's eyes were all red, and then he looked at me, confused to ask me all my generals were gone. Is there any real hope that he would survive alone?
“Yes, as long as you live, you carry their trusteeship, so that they can feel safe even when they die.” I touched the little emperor's head and finally took a look at the sea without further delay, holding him as he traveled through the barren mountains.
I don't know the way around here either, just as far away from the battlefield as possible. When we were hungry on the way, we picked some fruit out of the woods to eat. As long as it wasn't poisonous, we could sip it. Don't worry if you're thirsty. The most important thing in the woods is water.
So I walked for three days, and I finally went around the other side of the mountain, and it was a mess, and it seemed like it had just been fought.
I picked up two clothes from the road for the Little Emperor and changed them for myself. His face was eye-catching enough. Although his clothes were broken, he could see that he was extraordinary, and I was wearing a dress with a distinct Song army logo, so it was also dangerous. We didn't have time to change in the mountains. It must be time to change.
“Does anyone in the enemy know you?” I asked.
The little emperor shook his head: “No, I have been in the palace since I pissed, Zhang Hongfan has only seen me far away, and now everyone who knows me should be dead...”
“That's good.” I'm relieved: “I'll put you in the nearest town, and now there's war everywhere, because there's a lot of people who lose their parents and become orphans, and then you say you're a displaced person elsewhere, remember? ”
“Mmm.” The little emperor nodded harshly.
We set out again, and we had a lot of trouble on the way, but luckily there are a lot of unidentified people on the way, and I've seen mine clean up the mess at the cliff gate, so there's no danger along the way.
When I got to town, I didn't go into town, but I dropped the little emperor a short distance from the gate, and then I pointed to a bunch of traffickers waiting at the gate: “You'll follow me later, you'll be an orphan from now on, you understand? ”
He looked at me surprised: "Mr. Zhang, aren't you coming with me? ”
“No, I have other things to do.” I wasn't sure what to explain to him either, just smiled and encouraged him to move forward.
He looked at me hesitantly, making sure I wasn't really with him, and then he grabbed his clothes and ran towards the displaced.
The little emperor was smart, did not rush directly into the crowd, but found a corner to stay in. He had more than one child in the diaspora, and he obviously did not attract anyone's attention.
I stood there and looked at him. After half an hour, the gate opened and the displaced entered the gate, one by one, under the soldiers' scrutiny.
The little emperor and the crowd naturally walked in smoothly, just for a moment, he turned around and looked at me, and I didn't care if he could see, waved at him and laughed.
And the moment he crossed into the city, a white light suddenly lit up, my heart relaxed, it was a precursor to the collapse of the insidious space...
