Chapter 1441 Your Majesty, I Will Die

On the way to the Dudu Mansion with a group of soldiers, Captain Huang happened to meet the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion in Huangzhou.

Cheng Chumo took a look and saw that the leader was the guy he had almost split into two pieces just now.

At that moment, he also grabbed the weapon and ran towards Captain Huang.

How dare Captain Huang dare to fight Cheng Chumo?

He immediately turned the horse's head and ran back.

Cheng Chumo wanted to pursue him, but was blocked by a group of soldiers from Qizhou Zhechong Mansion.

But in an instant, the two sides were fighting together. .??.

Li Ruoshuang also brought over the Eight Great Vajras from Zhechong Mansion in Taizhou.

But she herself went to find Zhao Chen.

The Eight King Kongs are worthy of being the powerful combat force of Taizhou Zhechong Prefecture. With eight of them together, the soldiers of Qizhou Zhechong Prefecture would not dare to approach them at all.

The two parties were fighting vigorously, and the emperor and Li Ke ran over from the direction of the Governor's Mansion.

Cheng Chumo was chasing Captain Huang. When he saw the people from the Beiya Imperial Guards, he knew in his heart that the emperor had escaped among them.

Immediately he shouted: "The enemy is strong, we will retreat temporarily."

Cheng Chumo's words also stunned Huang Duwei for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he saw a large number of Huangzhou Zhechong Mansion soldiers hurriedly fleeing towards the south city gate.

"Chase." Captain Huang would not let go of such an opportunity.

Immediately ordered the army to pursue them.

…

Amid the great worry of the people of Qixian County, the sky gradually turned white.

The people began to take to the streets, and everyone looked in the direction of the Governor's Mansion.

After burning all night, the fire in the Dudu Mansion still did not go out.

When the people came over, they saw many people holding buckets to put out the fire.

None of the corpses originally left on the street were seen at this moment.

Nothing was found except the raging fire and the burned-down house of the Governor's Mansion.

"What exactly happened here?"

"Why did I suddenly get so sick in the middle of the night?

fire? "

"His Majesty the Emperor lives in the Governor's Mansion. Such a fire..."

"No, His Majesty the Emperor must be fine."

"With such a big fire, wouldn't Governor Ma send someone to rescue His Majesty?"

"That is, if something happens to Your Majesty here, then all of us will have to..."

"Captain Ma is here."

While the people were discussing, they saw Ma Zhiyuan running towards this side in a hurry.

"His Majesty!"

Before Ma Zhiyuan arrived, his voice was already choked with sobs.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Ma Zhiyuan knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death. I just went out of the city yesterday. I never thought that such a disaster would happen."

"Your Majesty, I am punished by death." Ma Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and kept wailing towards the Governor's Mansion.

His forehead hit the ground hard, and the skin was broken within a few blows.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I will go down to accompany you right now." Ma Zhiyuan was not satisfied after kowtow.

He stood up and ran towards the Governor's Mansion, but was stopped by officials from Qi County.

"Master Governor, no one wants anything to happen to your Majesty, but this is not your responsibility."

"Who would have thought a fire like this would pop up out of nowhere."

"If you are guilty, all of us in Qixian County are guilty." Qixian County officials held Ma Zhiyuan tightly and tried their best to persuade him.

The people present were stunned.

They heard from Ma Zhiyuan's mouth that the emperor was burned to death in the governor's mansion.

"Lord Governor, two corpses were found in the ruins of the east courtyard. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the King of Shu."

"They..." Someone rushed out of the Governor's Mansion and shouted to Ma Zhiyuan.

"Don't stop me, I will take care of it myself

Your Majesty, recite it. "Ma Zhiyuan burst into tears and threw away the Qi County official's hand.

"Hey, Lord Governor!"

"It's too dangerous inside!" Qixian officials shouted anxiously.

Ma Zhiyuan had already rushed into the fire scene.

Qixian officials had no choice but to follow behind and rush into the fire scene.

"Oh, I didn't expect Governor Ma to be so loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Yes, who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would die in a fire."

The people were talking and sighing in their hearts.

…

Ma Zhiyuan rushed into the Dudu Mansion.

The fire had been mostly extinguished, and two charred bodies were placed on top of the ruins.

At this moment, Ma Zhiyuan's face did not have the sad look just now.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, a smile appeared on Ma Zhiyuan's face.

"Are you sure these two people are the emperor and the king of Shu?" Ma Zhiyuan asked the soldiers beside him.

"Look, sir." The soldier pointed to the clothes on the side of the body.

"This clothes has not been completely destroyed by the fire. The material of the clothes is the best quality for tribute."

"And this is an internal injury. There is a wound on the neck of the person next to him. According to the shape of the wound, it was left by himself."

"This person's appearance is the same as Li Ke's. There is no doubt that he is Li Ke."

"I think the emperor saw that the fire was too strong and our dead soldiers were outside. He knew there was no hope of escape and didn't want to be burned alive by the fire, so he chose to hang himself."

"And when Li Ke saw the emperor committing suicide, he couldn't live alone, so he chose to commit suicide." The soldier said to Ma Zhiyuan.

Ma Zhiyuan frowned.

Although they said this, even if there were two burnt corpses, they could not be completely sure that these two people were the emperor and Li Ke.

"By the way, those Bei Ya Forbidden Army soldiers were very panicked when they rushed out."

"They were shouting that the emperor was dead and they had to escape quickly.

talk. "The soldier added.

When Ma Zhiyuan heard this, he relaxed slightly.

The Beiya Imperial Guards are the emperor's bodyguards. If nothing happens to the emperor and they dare to shout such words, could they risk their lives?

Of course, the words of the Beiya Imperial Guards cannot be ruled out. The emperor asked them to do this.

But now Ma Zhiyuan can no longer care about that.

If the emperor was not dead, he, Ma Zhiyuan, would definitely die without a burial place.

The most important thing right now is to inform Chang'an of the emperor's death.

In this way, maybe they still have a chance.

"Where is Lu Changshi?" Ma Zhiyuan asked the soldiers.

The soldier shook his head: "Lu Changshi saw Zhao Chen yesterday and chased him out with his men, otherwise the soldiers of the Beiya Forbidden Army would not have been able to escape."

"That bastard again!" Ma Zhiyuan suddenly cursed.

The soldiers didn't know whether Ma Zhiyuan was scolding Zhao Chen or Lu Yifa.

"Tie the body to my back." Ma Zhiyuan said to the soldiers around him.

Ma Zhiyuan had to pretend to be extremely loyal.

The best way is to carry the emperor's body out on your own.

Let the people outside believe in you.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then saw the Qi County official on the side nodding with him.

Then the burnt emperor's body was tied to Ma Zhiyuan's back.

Qixian officials also carried the body of "Li Ke" on their backs.

Ma Zhiyuan tore his clothes and smeared the cigarette ashes on his face.

This time, Ma Zhiyuan looked disgraced.

"Your Majesty, if I die, I will take you out of here." Ma Zhiyuan suddenly wailed loudly.

Tears flowed from the eyes again.

The Qi County official couldn't be as calm as Ma Zhiyuan, so he pinched his thigh hard.

It hurt so much that he burst into tears immediately.
