Chapter 240: Your father has tried to kill me countless times, why should I save him?
The aide came close to the prince.
"Prince, let them go. Let's get on the boat quickly. It will be troublesome if the Second Prince's men catch up with us."
The prince glanced at his staff.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.
The prince's men immediately protected him in the middle.
The mighty general led a large army and surrounded everyone.
"The Emperor has ordered that Xiao Minxuan hand over the Imperial Seal, or he will be killed without mercy."
The staff around Xiao Minxuan pointed at the mighty general and cursed him.
"Look carefully, you big bastard! This is the prince!"
"You were promoted to the position of a mighty general by the prince!"
The mighty general sat on his horse and spat.
"Bah, my official position is what I deserve for my hard work in killing enemies. What does it have to do with the prince?"
"Not to mention the Crown Prince, even the Emperor cannot erase my achievements!"
"Besides, he is just a fake prince. He has the nerve to try to get close to me. Ugh!"
"My fellow men, the Emperor has said that if the fake prince resists, he must be killed without mercy! Kill him!"
At the mighty general's command, officers and soldiers rushed forward.
The two sides immediately engaged in a melee.
Shen Yunjin pushed Linglong, and Linglong held the eldest prince hostage and began to move closer to Xiao Minshen.
Xiao Minshen and Mo Yi also hurried to Shen Yunjin.
The people around the prince escorted him as he ran towards the ship.
"Archer, shoot!"
The mighty general waved the flag in his hand and began to give orders.
"No!" Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin and the Crown Princess who were surrounded by guards in the crowd, and spoke up to stop them.
"King Qi better get out of the way, otherwise, I will kill you all without mercy!"
The mighty general looked disdainful.
Everyone knows that among the princes, the Prince of Qi is the least capable one.
Now, the second prince ordered them to deal with the prince.
Next, it should be the other princes.
If he dealt with the King of Qi in advance, would the Second Prince give him a promotion?
Xiao Minshen saw the malicious look in General Weiwu's eyes.
"Mo Yi, kill him!"
"You dare!..." Before the mighty general could finish his words, Mo Yi slashed his neck with a sword.
With a loud bang, the body of the mighty general fell off his horse.
When the archer saw it, he immediately drew his bow and shot arrows, and arrows flew over like locusts.
Xiao Minshen and Mo Yi hurriedly swung the swords in their hands into circles to block the arrows.
Mo Yi and Xiao Minshen jumped off their horses and, with the help of the horses' blocking, they came to Shen Yunjin's side.
Shen Yunjin suddenly threw herself into Xiao Minshen's arms.
Xiao Minshen hugged her tightly and said, "We need to find a place to hide."
At this time, the archers saw that the prince was about to board the boat, and they shot arrows at the boat in the middle of the river.
Xiao Minshen sent Shen Yunjin and Linglong to the carriage.
He then came to pick up the Crown Princess and Xiao Yunhao.
The Crown Princess immediately pushed Xiao Yunhao into Xiao Minshen's arms.
"Son, remember what your mother told you!"
After saying this, the Crown Princess ran towards the boat.
Arrows like cow hair were flying all over the sky.
The Crown Princess was shot into a hedgehog in an instant.
She fell to the ground, looking at the boats on the river bank.
Xiao Minshen covered Xiao Yunhao's eyes.
Xiao Yunhao bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making any sound.
My mother said, live, live...
With the help of his guards, the prince had already boarded the boat.
"Princess!"
The prince turned his head only after the aide beside him shouted.
He happened to see the Crown Princess fall to the ground.
He began to look everywhere for Xiao Yunhao's whereabouts.
However, the shore was full of soldiers who had been ordered to kill him.
Where is Xiao Yunhao?
He looked at the Crown Princess who was still alive on the ground, and turned back with determination.
"sail!"
The big ship began to drift downstream, and the soldiers chased it along the river, shooting arrows at the ship.
The Crown Princess saw the boat moving away and slowly closed her eyes.
She is finally free!
It’s a pity for Haoer. From then on, he became a child without a father or a mother!
On this side, Xiao Minshen took Xiao Yunhao onto the carriage.
Mo Yi whistled.
I saw a row of archers standing on the dock.
Pull the bow and shoot the arrow! Pull the bow again and shoot the arrow!
Soon, the soldiers on the river bank fell one after another.
Those who were not shot looked for objects that could provide cover.
"No one can be left alive!"
Xiao Minshen gave the order coldly.
Mo Yi made a gesture towards the row of archers.
All the archers rushed down from the dock.
In a short while, a fierce battle broke out between him and the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, not a single one was left alive."
After a while, someone came to report from outside the carriage.
"As usual, everyone should be stabbed once more to prevent anyone from faking their death."
Mo Yi ordered.
Xiao Minshen let go of Xiao Yunhao, "You can go see your mother for the last time now."
Xiao Yunhao glared at Xiao Minshen with hatred in his eyes.
"Your people have been lying in ambush at the dock since early morning. Why don't you let them rescue my father, mother and concubine?"
Xiao Minshen looked at him with a cold face.
"Your father has tried to kill me countless times. Why should I save him?"
"Just because he threatened me with my wife and children yesterday, I can kill him!"
Tears flowed from the corners of Xiao Yunhao's eyes, and he raised his head stubbornly.
"My mother has never harmed you. She even helped your concubine give birth to a little brother yesterday. Why didn't you save her?"
Xiao Minshen stood up.
"Your mother never intended to leave here alive."
"I believe she has already told you in advance. If you have the time to argue with me, you might as well go and see me for the last time."
Xiao Minshen and the others cannot take the Crown Princess' body away.
Otherwise, it would easily attract the attention of the Second Prince.
Xiao Yunhao held back his tears, jumped off the carriage and ran towards the Crown Princess.
Shen Yunjin felt heartbroken watching from the side.
"Your Highness, I promised the Crown Princess that I would take in the eldest prince."
"I gave birth yesterday, thanks to the Crown Princess's care. I think this is my way of repaying her kindness."
Xiao Minshen nodded.
Raising a child is nothing more than adding another mouth to feed.
If Xiao Yunhao doesn't cooperate, the worst that can happen is that he will be sent to the Second Prince.
Xiao Minshen got off the carriage and watched Xiao Yunhao throw himself on the Crown Princess and burst into tears.
Mo Yi came to Xiao Minshen's side.
"Our people have tampered with the prince's boat in advance. The boat will not go far before it sinks."
There was frost in Xiao Minshen's eyes.
"I still helped my second brother."
"If he hadn't threatened me with my wife and children, I wouldn't have planned to let him lose his life."
Xiao Minshen looked at the calm river surface, and then looked at Xiao Yunhao who was lying on the Crown Princess and refused to get up.
"Let our people return to their original locations and wait for orders."
"Catch that kid back, and we have to leave quickly."
