The soldiers had already found the entrance to the tunnel in the library building and dug it open, Miao Fu looked at the swarthy entrance to the tunnel, his face turned pale, needless to say, Li Yanqing must have escaped from here.

The deputy general next to him said hatefully: "It's better to kill the Cao family and vent the hatred in our hearts!" ”

Miao Fu sighed, "If it was an ordinary family, I would have killed them cleanly, but it was the Cao family!" Kill them, and the Emperor will use us as scapegoats. ”

"What then?"

"It shouldn't be too long to escape, chase me!"

Miao Fu immediately ordered, "Collect the troops and leave the house!" ”

As soon as the army left Caofu, Huang Qianshan hurried over, and he asked urgently, "Have you killed Li Yanqing?" ”

Miao Fu sighed, "Humble and incompetent, Li Yanqing has already escaped from the tunnel!" ”

"What!"

Huang Qianshan's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "How did you surround Cao Mansion and actually escape from under his nose by him?" ”

Miao Fu's face was full of shame, "If you are lowly, you will lead the army to chase after you!" ”

Huang Qianshan also has a big head, so he can't explain to the emperor!

In desperation, he had no choice but to say to Miao Fu: "You lead the army to chase, you must catch up with him, and bring someone else's head to give the order!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Huang Qianshan immediately divided his troops into two routes, and ordered his deputy general Lin Hong to lead a thousand cavalry to the Huantang River Bridge to intercept it first, and he himself led five thousand troops to Chongxinmen, the tunnel exit was closest to Chongxinmen, and Li Yanqing must have gone out of Chongxinmen.

Huang Qianshan rushed to see the emperor, they could not delay for a moment now, and they must immediately launch a palace coup.

.........

Miao Fu led the army to Chongxinmen, only to see his subordinate Yang Qing kneel down and ask for guilt, "The rule of lowly duties is not strict, so I ask the general for guilt?" ”

"But Li Yanqing escaped from here?"

"Exactly! The humble official just learned that he had killed the city guard who had let Li Yanqing go without permission, and was about to report to the general. ”

Miao Fu's eyes darkened for a while, and he calmed down and asked, "How long has Li Yanqing been gone?" ”

"About half an hour!"

Miao Fu hated so much that his heart was dripping blood, that is, he searched Cao's Mansion for half an hour, and he was delayed, he yelled: "Open the city for me!" ”

The city gate opened, Miao Fu led the army to run out, and the five thousand soldiers behind followed him out of the city, Yang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the city guard team a look, and the escort team understood, and immediately led a few soldiers to run out of the city, he wanted to go outside the city to set fire to Li Yanqing to warn.

At this time, Li Yanqing had already run north for twenty miles, and there were still five or six miles away from the Huantang River, and the shape of Lin'an City was like a banana, long from north to south, short from east to west, and more than 20 miles long from north to south, but only five or six miles long from east to west.

They got two donkeys and rode them for Li Pu and his companions, when one of the soldiers shouted, "Look at it!" ”

Li Yanqing turned around, only to see a fire burning in the south, he immediately understood that it must be the army chasing after him, Hu Qing'er suggested in a low voice: "The Huantang Bridge will definitely get the news to block it, it is better for us to cross the river first." ”

Li Yanqing They are two miles east of the lower reaches of the Huantang River, which flows out of the south for more than 20 miles and then flows into Hangzhou Bay, if they cross the Huantang River here, they directly bypass the Huantang River Bridge in the north, the river in this area is not wide, about 30 zhang, and it is about 100 meters.

The one hundred and fifty personal soldiers brought out by Li Yanqing are all strong in martial arts, and they are also good at water kung fu, he is a little worried about the other fifty female guards, Hu Qing'er understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "How can my subordinates not know water?" ”

After all, only Li Yanqing's son Li Pu can't water, this problem is not big, a few personal soldiers can carry him across the river, Li Yanqing immediately decided, "Cross the river!" ”

The crowd turned around and ran towards the Huantang River to the east.......

At the same time, there was also a change in the palace, and a rush of running woke up the sleeping Zhao Gou, "What happened?" Zhao Gou asked sleepily.

Kang Lu stammered: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the army.... There has been a mutiny in the army! ”

Zhao Gou sat up in shock, "How... What's going on? ”

"The old slave didn't know, but he just heard from an injured guard that the guards under the mountain had been killed."

Concubine Pan was also frightened and panicked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?" ”

At this time, Zhao Gou calmed down, he understood that this must be his father who launched a palace coup, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.

Kang Lu urged: "Your Majesty, escape through the back door!" The old slave went to arrange the vehicle. ”

Kang Lu ran first, Zhao Gou hurriedly put on his clothes, and the two palace maids also hurriedly dressed Pan Guifei, but Pan Guifei cried: "Your Majesty, what should I do with the child?" ”

A sentence reminded Zhao Gou, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, beckoning to a confidant little palace maid, "You go to the Salesian Hall quickly, take the prince to Baiyun Nunnery, and beg Master Mei Yun to protect you, and afterwards you asked Master Mei Yun to hand it over to Li Yanqing, remember?" ”

"Little maid remembers."

Zhao Gou couldn't find a pen for a while, his heart was horizontal, he bit his fingers, wrote a blood edict on the white satin underwear, and stuffed it to the little palace maid along with a gold medal, "Go quickly!" ”

The little palace maid hurried away.

Zhao Gou must leave a way back, if he and his son are caught by his father, then everything is over.

Only then did he take Pan Guifei out of the back door and get into a carriage directly, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage ran down the mountain road, followed closely behind the carriage by Kang Lu and dozens of personal guards.

Zhao Gou wanted to go to the royal dock to take a dragon boat out to sea to escape, and if Li Yanqing could quell the palace change, he would come back and reset the throne.

But as soon as the carriage arrived at the dock, countless soldiers suddenly came out from all directions, surrounded the carriage of Zhao Gou, and dozens of guards and coachmen were shot by arrows one after another.

The carriage almost overturned, the bloody scene made Pan Guifei faint in fright, Zhao Gou was also so frightened that his face turned pale, he saw the other party's main general through the car window, it was Liu Zhengyan, he pulled the window and shouted: "General Liu, I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?" ”

Liu Zhengyan hugged his fists from afar and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen dare not rebel, Wechen is to keep His Majesty on the order of the Emperor, if Your Majesty can persuade the Emperor, Wechen will not dare to stop it." ”

He ordered his soldiers to build a shield wall and surround Zhao Gou in it.

Not long after, Zhao Ji, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked over surrounded by hundreds of guards, and Liu Zhengyan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, the target has been surrounded by soldiers!" ”

"Very well, thank you guys."

Zhao Ji turned back to Huang Qianshan and said, "Go and confirm!" ”

Huang Qianshan ran over, Zhao Gou was panicked, suddenly saw Huang Qianshan, and hurriedly shouted: "Huang Aiqing, save me!" ”

Huang Qianshan sighed, "No one can save Your Majesty now, Your Majesty can only save yourself!" ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a while, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Okay! You told the Emperor that I would like to write an edict of abdication, just to be an idle king. ”

Huang Qian laughed treacherously, "Your Majesty is very wise!" ”

He turned around and ordered, "Come with the pen and paper!" ”

Not long after, Huang Qianshan handed over an abdication edict to the Emperor Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji read it again, and asked, "What about his son?" ”

"Doesn't seem to be in the car?"

Zhao Ji's face sank, and he asked Liu Zhengyan dissatisfied, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Zhengyan was sweating profusely and explained: "The lowly post is in charge of the mountain, and the attack on the inner is the deputy commander Zhang Wei, and the situation on the mountain is really unclear." ”

Zhao Ji's face softened slightly, and he said to Huang Qianshan: "If King Kang could resist the request of the hundred officials and not take me back, there would be no today's incident, his heart is too soft, and he is not qualified as an emperor, but I can't be wrong anymore, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Huang Qianshan broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and said for a while: "Weichen understands!" ”

Zhao Ji took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to him, "This matter will be done immediately, no delay!" ”

Huang Qianshan nodded, took the small medicine bottle, and walked away with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Zhao Ji sighed softly again, "I gave birth to thirty sons, and I don't care about one less." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, now he was more concerned about killing Li Yanqing, no matter what, he must not let Li Yanqing escape from Lin'an Mansion.
