Dugu Ling chased after him, and he was less than five hundred steps away from Li Zhao and the others.

Li Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly said to Li Qi: "Father, Dugu Ling is just behind, we have to speed up, there are deep mountains in front, which is not conducive to cavalry action." As long as you hide in the mountains, there is still a chance.

Li Qi's face was like ashes, and he muttered: "It's useless, I can't run away, and I don't have the strength anymore." "

Li Qi is indeed tired, not only him, but all the people who escaped from Chang'an, after running around day and night, eating and sleeping, are physically and mentally exhausted.

Dugu Ling thought that Li Qi could no longer escape, and did not let the cavalry kill him in a big way. Only one person was sent over, and this person said to Li Qi: "The last general is forbidden to military captain Zhao Kai, and General Dugu has an order." His Royal Highness King Ruyong is willing to put down his weapons and return to Chang'an with him, which can spare His Royal Highness's life.

Li Zhao saw Li Qi's panicked look, so he could only say for him: "Can you let me wait for a discussion, it won't be too long, at most a quarter of an hour."

Zhao Kai hesitated, and then told Dugu Ling. Dugu Ling thought for a moment and quickly agreed to Li Zhao's request.

Li Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and handed the kettle to Li Qi, who poured a few sips and gradually calmed down.

Li Zhao said: "Father, at the moment, Dugu Ling has no action for the time being, and we will ride a fast horse and still have a chance to escape into the mountains."

"No chance, you don't know how powerful Dugu Ling is. No one has escaped from him yet. Li Qi's face was full of despair.

"Even if we can't escape, we have to escape, we must not return to Chang'an, we have committed a big crime of forcing the palace. If you return to Chang'an, even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will be imprisoned. When His Majesty dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, he will not forgive us. Li Zhao said resolutely.

Throughout the ages, those who fail in the palace have never ended well. What's more, tens of thousands of people fought in the city before, and so many people died, someone must be responsible for this. Once you go back, you will be slaughtered.

"Zhao'er, give up. I can't get to the throne, and you don't have a chance. Li Qi thought that Li Zhao was not dead yet.

"Father, son is self-aware. If you can survive, how dare you hope for anything else? The important thing now is to get out of here. It's late, it's too late. Li Zhao persuaded again.

Li Qi said gloomily: "There is no hope, look at your mother, wife and concubine, and others, can they run around, not to mention that your mother has always been in poor health."

Li Zhao was silent, he hadn't rested for a moment in the past few days, and so did others. Women's physical strength itself is not as good as that of men, and they must be even more tired.

Princess Yong's Bai family and Li Zhao's wife and concubine also came over, and Bai Shi cried: "Zhao'er, if you beg Your Majesty well, you may let us go." "

The Bai family was born in a famous family in the Kanto region, and he has been pampered since he was a child, so he has suffered like this.

Li Zhao looked at his two wives and concubines again. wife Nangong Yin and concubine Liu Yingying, both of them are naturally beautiful and beautiful. After Li Zhao married them, he has always been very good to them.

The two of them also couldn't hide their fatigue on their faces, and Nangong Yin persuaded: "Husband, the defeat is decided." At present, I can only return to Chang'an as soon as possible and ask for His Majesty's forgiveness. Liu Yingying also thinks the same way.

"I knew I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place, but if I hadn't made a mess, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Yongwang Li Qi said suddenly.

Li Zhao is not happy now, and the Yongwang Mansion is not my final word.

"Father's words are inappropriate, my father clearly said before, this crown prince should belong to you. My father has already intended to rebel, what does it have to do with me?" Li Zhao, who inherited the memory of his original body, immediately replied.

"You have befriended people all day long, and you have found some warlocks, saying that I have the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and I was all harmed by you. Li Qi looked annoyed.

"No matter what the warlocks say, they can't change my father's mind. Do you think your son doesn't know, as early as when I was young, my father made a dragon robe privately. Isn't it obvious what the father wants to do? Li Zhao retorted.

"I made the dragon robe. As for you, you also forged the jade seal of the country, intending to fake the holy decree. "

I'm a private jade seal, doesn't my father know about this? I remember that my father praised me at the time, and I was quite strategic, but my father forgot it so quickly.

"Who do you think I'm for, not for you. If I become the emperor, you will be the crown prince.

"Father now admits that you are the mastermind, aren't you?

"Yes and no. With so many elite soldiers, it could have been done. Because you don't do things well, you fall short.

Li Zhao laughed loudly and mocked: "I'm not doing things carefully? You go to Chang'an City and ask, who doesn't know that King Yong wants to be the emperor. The common people knew about it, not to mention the emperor and the crown prince. Rebellion is such a big thing, you should be quiet and secretly plot, my father doesn't even understand this?"

"When I was young, my father clearly said that I would be in charge of the country in the future. Li Qi was scolded a little aggrieved.

"Who can prove this. Even if His Majesty really said such a thing, what could he do? As long as the emperor is not stupid, he will give priority to his son-in-law to succeed to the throne. At

the moment of the great enemy, Li Zhao was reluctant to continue to tear up, and seeing that Li Qi still wanted to speak again, he said impatiently: "I still say that, I can't go back to Chang'an." If you want to go back, go back. I'm not going back even if I die. I'm only seventeen years old this year, does my father want me to be imprisoned to death?"

Li Qi sighed helplessly: "If you don't go back, where else can you go." If you want to defect to the Qi Kingdom, then go for it, maybe you have a chance to save your life.

"If my son doesn't return to Chang'an, as the grandson of the Great Wei Emperor, he won't defect to the Qi State.

"What do you mean? Do you really go to the mountains and be the king of the mountains? Li Qi was surprised.

"Yes and what. It's not bad to be the king of the mountain, at least the fate is in your own hands, it's better than being slaughtered by others

," "Haha........." Li Qi smiled disdainfully, "It's really ignorant, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, how can you stand the poverty in the deep mountains."

When Nangong Yin and Liu Yingying heard that Li Zhao planned to flee into the mountains, their faces couldn't help but change, this was worse than defecting to the Qi State. The Nangong family is a famous family in Guanzhong, and Liu Yingying is also from a scholarly family, and the two daughters have never suffered since childhood. They are used to staying in the prosperous Chang'an, and if they are allowed to stay in the deep mountains and old forests all day long, it will cost them their lives.

Liu Yingying hurriedly persuaded: "You are the eldest grandson of the emperor, Your Majesty will not harm you." At most, reprimand you, and your father will intercede for you. Don't be impulsive, go back to Chang'an. Liu

Yingying's words are either bad or stupid. Li Zhaoke drew his sword at the emperor and demanded that the emperor abdicate. Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, and such a big crime will be punished heavily.

Time was pressing, Li Zhao didn't want to delay any longer, and said: "If you two want to go back to Chang'an, I will write a letter of resignation now to clear up the relationship with me." This may help both of you and reduce your Majesty's punishment for you. When

the two girls heard this, they were silent and had complicated expressions.

Since husband and wife cannot share hardships, it is not a bad thing to be separated. What's more, today's Li Zhao is not the original body after all, and he doesn't have much affection for the two women.

After a while, Li Zhao wrote two letters of resignation and handed them to the two daughters. Nangong Yin and Liu Yingying took the letter of resignation with tears in their eyes.

Li Zhao decisively gathered everyone and said that those who were willing to follow him would not treat everyone badly in the future. If you don't want to follow and don't force you to stay, you can leave on your own now.

Most of the people were disheartened and chose to surrender under the pressure of Dugu Ling. Especially the soldiers of the forbidden army who participated in the rebellion, because their families were mostly in Chang'an, they were unwilling to follow Li Zhao anymore.

Soon, a team of 1,000 people, only more than 100 people remained, and most of the soldiers left behind were Yongwangfu's soldiers.
