At this time, Luo Qinghan had just left Shengjing City and was galloping away on a horse to the southeast.

Zhao Xian and more than a hundred imperial guards followed behind him.

Because Xiao Xixi was kidnapped, Luo Qinghan was in a bad mood. He hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, and he hadn't eaten any food, so he only poured two cups of strong tea to refresh himself.

His face was very ugly, and his eyebrows were full of anger.

Originally, he thought that everything was under his control. No matter how much the Empress Dowager, King Jingxian, Wang Gan and others were tossing around, they couldn't turn the palm of his hand, and he would definitely be able to catch all those traitors!

As a result, he was hit hard in the face.

He only caught the King of Jingxian and the Empress Dowager, but Wang Gan ran away.

Not only that, Xiao Xixi was also kidnapped!

He was careless.

Wang Gan had long expected that the king of Jingxian County would not be successful, and the king of Jingxian County was just a bait for him to run out to attract attention, so before the king of Jingxian County did anything, he ran first.

Because his real purpose is actually Xiao Xixi!

Luo Qinghan thought he was going to do it, and happened to be caught in Wang Gan's trap.

Wang Gan knew that he had long lost his feelings for the King of Jingxian and the Empress Dowager, and he had no scruples when he started. The only thing he cared about was Xiao Xixi.

She is his weakness.

Wang Gan just caught on to this point and gave him a fatal blow.

Luo Qinghan suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager had told him before.

The Empress Dowager said: "How much honor you give her now, how much danger you will bring her in the future."

Luo Qinghan thought that with his own ability, he could keep her away from those dangers, but it turned out that he overestimated his ability and underestimated his opponent's ability.

Since he brazenly spoiled Xiao Xixi as the first person in the harem, countless pairs of eyes have been staring at her.

The night before going to the Taimiao Temple, the hexagram calculated by Xiao Xixi showed that the result was unclear, and the gods could not give clear instructions.

At that time, he thought that the hexagram was pointing to himself, and he might be in danger, so the hexagram was unknown.

It was only then that he realized that he was wrong.

In fact, the gods knew for a long time that he would catch the King of Jingxian County and expose his conspiracy to conspire with the Empress Dowager and Wang Gan.

But at the same time the people he loves will be kidnapped and put in danger.

A gain and a loss happen at the same time.

Who can say whether this is good or bad?

Therefore, even the gods cannot give the most appropriate instructions, and in the end can only leave the decision to himself.

However, Luo Qinghan didn't think of this at all.

Afterwards he fell into deep regret.

He shouldn't be so careless.

He could have been more cautious.

Luo Qinghan kept his eyes open until dawn with such annoyed mood.

He has already sent everyone who can be sent out to find the imperial concubine, and he hopes to wait for good news.

However.

Instead of waiting to find the good news of the imperial concubine, he waited for letters from the rebels.

The letter shows that the imperial concubine is in their hands. If the emperor wants to save her life, he must go to Dingshan immediately, and they will wait for the emperor in the thatched pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

The traitor also specially reminded at the end of the letter that only the emperor was allowed to come, and if they found anyone else, they would immediately kill the imperial concubine.

After Luo Qinghan received the letter, he immediately called Zhao Xian and asked him to select one hundred elite guards.

They left Shengjing on horseback and went straight to Laiding Mountain in the southeast.

All wore heavy black cloaks.

The horse's hooves quickly stepped over the ground, making a rattling sound.

The autumn wind was blowing head-on, and the cloak was blown high, drawing a cold arc in the air.

The people along the way were so frightened that they hurriedly avoided to both sides, for fear of being kicked by the horse's hooves.

Near the mountain road near Lading Mountain, there were spies hiding in the forest to observe quietly. When they saw a group of people approaching, they immediately cheered up and stared at the group of galloping horses.

When the group of people was about to arrive at Ladingshan, they suddenly stopped their horses.

The leader said a few words to the hundred or so people who followed.

Because of the distance, I couldn't hear what the man said.

I saw that after the man explained, he rode alone to the thatched pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

The rest of the people were left in place.

Seeing this, the spies hiding in the forest immediately rushed to report the situation to the leader.

A thatched pavilion stands quietly at the foot of the mountain. I don't know how many years ago this pavilion was built. It is already in dilapidated condition. Most of the thatch on the top of the mountain has collapsed. All cracked, and clumps of weeds grew out of the gaps.

It is autumn now, and these weeds have withered and yellowed, making this thatched pavilion even more dilapidated and desolate.

Luo Qinghan, who was wearing a black cape, turned over and dismounted.

He tied the horse to the tree trunk next to him and strode into the thatched pavilion.

At this time, a short man ran over, and Luo Qinghan in the pavilion cupped his hands and laughed.

"Your Majesty is finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Luo Qing looked at him coldly: "I have come as promised, where is the imperial concubine?"

The short man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine is all right now, please come with me, and I will take you to see the concubine."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring Luo Qinghan at all, as if he was sure that Luo Qinghan would follow.

Luo Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but finally followed up.

The two walked up the mountain road.

Luo Qinghan always kept a distance from each other to avoid being attacked.

When they were halfway up the mountain, they saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

The short man smiled and said to Luo Qinghan.

"The imperial concubine is resting in the car."

Luo Qinghan was about to lift his foot to go to the carriage, but was stopped by a short man.

The short man said, "It's okay for your majesty to take away the noble concubine, but you have to exchange things for it, so it's fair, isn't it?"

Luo Qing asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Short man: "We want the amulet in your hand."

Luo Qinghan refused without thinking: "Impossible!"

The short man tutted and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"You risked your life to come here to rescue the noble concubine. We thought you were so infatuated with the noble concubine, but now it seems like that. No matter how important the military talisman is, is the life of the sweetheart still important?"

Luo Qinghan's expression was extremely different.

He seems to be hesitant to weigh, and the battle between heaven and man in his heart.

The short man urged.

"Our time is very precious. If Your Majesty doesn't make a decision, we will do it."

Luo Qinghan: "What do you want to do?"

The short man smiled ruthlessly: "If Your Majesty is unwilling to exchange the military talisman for the imperial concubine, then the imperial concubine will be useless to us, and we can only kill her."
