Chapter 454: Saving People
The Rat King led Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Bai Yunfeng, Zhong Jialei, Tie Jian, and Ma Kefei to the periphery of Xuanyuan Feng's palace, and at this time, it was quiet inside and outside the palace, and the samurai armed with spears who were guarding during the day had long since disappeared. Everyone quietly came to the city wall, facing the city wall as high as 34 meters, Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng and others asked themselves if they had the ability to cross it easily, and everyone pinned their hopes on the rat king.
The Rat King said: "The situation on the city wall is unknown, and it doesn't look like someone is guarding, but we don't dare to make a rash assertion about the specific situation, so we still act according to the plan." I'll go up first, and if there's someone guarding it, I'll solve it, and then I'll throw down the rope and let the breeze climb up, and the others stay where they are, understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "Understood." ”
The Rat King said, "Okay, then I'll be on it." Said a breath of true breath, this time facing the city wall as high as tens of meters, the rat king also had to show some real skills, only to see his fingers suddenly burst out of a golden claw, with an angry shout, the rat king's sturdy body like a civet cat climbed towards the city wall, with the claws in his hand embedded in the wall, the rat king quickly climbed upward, the speed is staggering.
In the blink of an eye, the Rat King easily climbed to the top of the city wall, the thickness of the city wall was several meters, and three or five people standing side by side on it did not feel crowded at all, and the Rat King quietly lowered his body and landed on the aisle. At this time, a samurai was standing guard, but he happened to have his back to the Rat King, so he did not notice that the Rat King had quietly touched the city wall. The Rat King naturally spotted the guard, and he rushed forward with an arrow and punched the guard in the head, and the guard fell to the ground before he could say a word.
The Rat King looked around, and saw no more guards, he calmed down a little, and then lowered the prepared rope towards the city wall, this rope was specially used for climbing, and one end was equipped with an iron hook, which could be hooked to the wall to make it easier for the people below to climb.
Seeing the rope flying down, Yi Qingfeng and the others waiting under the city wall knew that everything was going well with the Rat King, Yi Qingfeng quickly grabbed the rope and quickly climbed towards the city wall, to say that like the Rat King did not use external force to cross the high wall, it was impossible for the current Yi Qingfeng, but with the help of the rope, Yi Qingfeng climbed up at the same amazing speed, and after only a while, he also successfully climbed to the top of the city wall and met with the Rat King.
The two of them stood on the city wall and looked condescendingly towards the palace, only to see that the pavilions and pavilions were only faintly visible under the cover of night, and the rat king said: "I don't know what the situation is inside, and Miss Ling'er doesn't know where the house arrest is." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "Adapt to the situation, go down first, if you can catch someone and ask, maybe you can find out the whereabouts of Miss Ling'er." ”
The Rat King said: "It makes sense, then let's go." Saying that, he jumped outward and flew straight down from the high wall, Yi Qingfeng was stunned, he sighed and said: "If I jump down directly like you, I have to fall to pieces, I still honestly climb down slowly with the help of the rope." As he spoke, he grabbed the rope and slowly descended from the city wall.
After a toss and turn, the Rat King and Yi Qingfeng finally entered the palace, and the first difficulty was successfully passed, and the two of them also had a little joy in their hearts.
At this time, it was late at night, the palace was pitch black at a glance, the quiet intrusion of the Rat King and Yi Qingfeng was not found at all, the two of them walked in the dark in the huge palace, although they didn't have to worry too much about being discovered, but their goal was to rescue Ling'er girl, according to the pre-plan, they had to catch a palace personnel to find out where Ling'er girl was held.
The two walked forward for a while, and unconsciously walked into a compound with many houses, and the two thought to themselves that there must be many people living here, and if they really couldn't do it, they could only find a house to break into.
The two of them made up their minds and were about to walk towards a room in a relatively remote location, when suddenly a light flashed in the distance, and it seemed that someone was coming. The lights coming from afar were getting closer and closer, and I saw a subordinate slowly walking over with a lantern, the Rat King and Yi Qingfeng glanced at each other, and the two immediately understood what each other was thinking.
The lantern-wielding man gradually approached, he didn't expect that there were two high-ranking people on the roof at this time, he was just completing his night patrol mission. Suddenly, a large hand tightly covered his mouth, and at the same time, a dagger with cold light was placed next to his neck.
The night watchman was so frightened that his face was like earth, and the lantern he was carrying in his hand unconsciously let go, seeing that the lantern was about to fall to the ground, Yi Qingfeng, who was quick with his eyes, stretched out his foot and stabilized the falling lantern, and then reached out with one hand and grabbed the lantern in his hand.
At this time, the night watchman was completely controlled by the rat king, and the rat king glanced at Yi Qingfeng beside him, signaling to find a secluded place to interrogate the night watchman first. Yi Qingfeng naturally understood, the two escorted the night watchman out of the compound, and it was a no-man's land outside, and the Rat King let go of his hand and said, "Listen, answer me a few questions honestly, otherwise your blood will be spattered on the spot." ”
The night watchman trembled with fright and said, "The hero spares his life, and the little one knows everything." ”
The Rat King said, "Very good, do you know where Miss Murong Ling'er is being held now?"
The night watchman said: "But the Ling'er girl with superb dancing skills that the city lord likes very much?"
The Rat King said, "Exactly, where is she now?"
The night watchman said: "Knowing and knowing, she was locked up in the firewood house on the west side, and the little one had to pass through there every day." ”
The Rat King said: "Very good, you take us to him, as long as you don't play tricks, we won't embarrass you." ”
Yi Qingfeng beside him said: "Just in case, you have to suffer a little first." As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth and gagged the Night Watchman's mouth, and then tied his hands with ropes.
At this time, the night watchman couldn't speak, his hands couldn't move, and he was already at the mercy of others, Yi Qingfeng said: "Let's go, go to the firewood room." ”
The night watchman did not dare to disobey the order, and took the Rat King and Yi Qingfeng towards the firewood room in the west, and the three of them arrived at the firewood room smoothly along the way.
The night watchman pointed to a house with the Iron General's door, and said, "Two adults, Miss Ling'er is inside." ”
Yi Qingfeng was overjoyed and said: "I can be regarded as having found it." As he spoke, the cold light in his hand flashed towards the big lock on the door, and the iron lock was disconnected, Yi Qingfeng pushed the door and said, "Miss Ling'er, we are here to save you." ”
As the night watchman said, Murong Ling'er was indeed under house arrest in this room, and she had been awakened by this sound, she looked at the uninvited guest who broke into the house with a panicked face and said, "Who are you?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Miss Ling'er, you don't know me anymore, I am Yi Qingfeng, two years ago, I once pretended to be your entourage and mixed into the palace with Bai Gongzi of Baifu to meet the Xuanyuan City Lord, do you remember?"
Murong Ling'er looked at it fixedly and said, "It turned out to be Gongzi Yi, why are you here?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "We are here to rescue you out, this place is not suitable for a long time, you hurry up and go with us, it's still too late to go, if you want to leave at dawn, you can't go." ”
While the two were talking, the Rat King had knocked the Night Watchman unconscious, and he opened his mouth and said, "Don't be abrasive, let's go, we have to leave before dawn." ”
Murong Ling'er said, "Then let's go." As he spoke, he followed the Rat King and Yi Qingfeng towards the door.
