Chapter 511: Crooked Strike
Could it be that General Cao is talking about this token?
Chu Yunsheng was puzzled.
At this time, there were more than ten guards at the side gate, and she originally wanted to climb through the palace wall to enter, but there were a Praetorian Guard guards standing under the palace wall every less than three zhang away, and she couldn't find a place to blend in with such a strict formation.
Therefore, after going around the abandoned palace, Chu Yunsheng had to run around the palace, and finally found a Praetorian Guard who was going to Xiaojie, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly knocked him unconscious, and then dragged him into the flowers to change his clothes.
After she changed into the clothes of the Praetorian Guard, she walked to the main entrance of the abandoned palace.
In the distance, she could already feel several fierce gazes shooting towards her.
Chu Yunsheng was still a little nervous in her heart, after all, she didn't know if it was this token, but she said to the leader of the guards at the door with a strong and calm face: "Gongzi ordered me to come." ”
Hearing this, the Praetorian Guard, who led the team, looked up and down at the somewhat thin and raw-faced soldier in front of him, and then said with doubts between his eyebrows: "Where is the token?"
Chu Yunsheng lowered his eyes in the face of his puzzled gaze, and then naturally took out the gold token with a dragon head from the hem of his sleeve, and shook it at the guard leader.
The guard leader was still a little puzzled, after all, General Cao had just come to change the guard on the front foot and checked it, so why did such a person with He Rong's order come on the back foot.
However, after seeing the golden dragon head token in Chu Yunsheng's hand, his face turned pale and he immediately took the lead and knelt down.
When she saw his complexion change, Chu Yunsheng's heart also sank, but then, seeing that they all knelt down, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then calmly stepped into this abandoned palace.
There was a black and oppressive piece inside, there was no half of the palace lamp, Rao is Chu Yunsheng's eyesight was amazing, but he couldn't see the situation in this courtyard clearly, plus he didn't know what the situation was in it at all, Chu Yunsheng frowned, and said coldly: "Why don't you lead the way?"
Hearing this, the leader of the Praetorian Guard who had been checking before immediately got up, then walked to Chu Yunsheng's side and lit a lantern and began to lead the way.
Chu Yunsheng walked silently behind him all the way, entered from the abandoned temple gate, and arrived at the main hall, bypassing the back of the main hall and stopping in front of a Buddhist shrine, the leader of the Praetorian Guard raised his hand and touched it under the Buddha statue, and a secret door immediately appeared under the Buddhist shrine.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng was shocked, she had also lived in the Weiwang Palace for a while, and she was familiar with this Weiwang Palace, but she didn't know that there was a secret passage here, and it seemed that she already had some ideas, and it was definitely not built overnight.
Could it be that a long time ago, He Rong had already arranged his own hidden stake in the palace of King Wei and dug this secret passage?
I was surprised in my heart, but I still pretended to be calm and calm on my face.
"Your Excellency, please. ”
Although Chu Yunsheng was also wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier of the Praetorian Guard, the leader of the Praetorian Guard was still respectful to her, after all, the person who could hold the He Rong token would not be an ordinary little person.
Chu Yunsheng nodded, then raised his chin and motioned for him to walk ahead.
The leader of the Praetorian Guard didn't doubt it, and after nodding to Chu Yunsheng, he bent down and walked into the secret passage.
The secret passage was dark and damp, and there was the sound of water drops from time to time.
Chu Yunsheng and the leader of the Praetorian Guard were silent, their footsteps and heartbeats echoing in this narrow and damp secret passage.
After walking about twenty feet, the guard stopped in front of a wall, and he raised his hand and struck the wall three times, and then there was a rumbling sound on the wall, and with the rumbling sound, a stone door suddenly protruded from the wall that had just been flat, and the stone door rumbled to one side without external force.
When the rumbling sound stopped, the stone door was also completely opened in front of Chu Yunsheng.
When she saw everything in the stone gate, her heart also missed half a beat.
Her aunt was now tied to the stone bench, and though she was intact and unscarred, the cold, dark and damp room had turned her pale.
She was already recovering from a serious illness, how could she withstand such an environment at this time.
The moment he saw her, Chu Yunsheng was both surprised and delighted.
She didn't expect that she would find her aunt so easily by mistake, and she didn't expect that He Rong would detain her aunt in such a place.
If it weren't for the luck of her to meet General Cao, who came to change her guard, I believe that even if she searched through the Weiwang Palace, she would not be able to find her aunt.
The moment she saw her aunt, Xiao Yijun was also looking up at her.
With just one glance, Xiao Yijun recognized her, after all, that day, when she said goodbye to Xiao Yijun and Yuanchen, she used this mask.
Naturally, she recognized it.
However, although she recognized it, Xiao Yijun saw Chu Yunsheng's outfit in the next moment, and also noticed the respectful expression of the Praetorian Guard leader who was following Chu Yunsheng, she immediately lowered her eyes and looked at Chu Yunsheng as if she didn't know.
Chu Yunsheng also pretended not to know Xiao Yijun, then turned his eyes to look at the leader of the Praetorian Guard and said, "You send two people to take her with me, and the son wants to see her." ”
Hearing this, the leader of the Praetorian Guard was stunned, obviously not expecting Chu Yunsheng to take Xiao Yijun away, he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yunsheng in confusion and said, "Didn't the prince order that she couldn't be released until noon tomorrow?"
As soon as he heard the words tomorrow at noon, Chu Yunsheng's heart was cold.
Sure enough, is He Rong going to kill his aunt at noon tomorrow?
Her heart also tightened, but her face was still calm: "How can you and I figure out Childe's thoughts, he only asked me to take her away, and nothing else was mentioned, is it possible, do you want Childe to come to see you in person?"
Her voice was faint, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all, but the more such a voice was, the more confident she became, which made the Praetorian Guard leader break out in a cold sweat.
He immediately knelt down to Chu Yunsheng, and then said very sincerely: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare, and I ask the adults to have a lot." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng raised his chin and motioned for him to get up.
Seeing this, he immediately stood up, then stepped forward a few steps forward to untie the rope that bound Xiao Yijun, and then used the rope to tie Xiao Yijun tightly, and finally carried the end of the rope and directly dragged Xiao Yijun to Chu Yunsheng. Because of his brutality and rudeness, he almost dragged Xiao Yijun, who was weak at this time, to the ground.
Seeing others treating his aunt like this, Chu Yunsheng felt distressed, but he had to pretend that nothing was happening on his face.
This time, she walked in front, followed by the leader of the Praetorian Guard, and then followed by Xiao Yijun, who was pulled by the rope.
This journey is very short, but listening to the footsteps and the sound of dripping water, Chu Yunsheng feels that this secret passage is extraordinarily long, she feels sorry for her aunt, afraid that she will be offended, and she is also worried that there will be an accident on He Rong's side at this time, and then there will be some moths, so the aunt who is already about to be rescued will be busy again.
So, time has become extraordinarily long here.
Chu Yunsheng almost counted his steps and walked out of this secret passage all the way.
After leaving the side hall, the leader of the Praetorian Guard really sent two Praetorian Guard soldiers to suppress Xiao Yijun and handed her over to Chu Yunsheng.
After Chu Yunsheng took the three of them out of the side hall, he walked towards the palace where He Rong was, and he didn't attract the attention of the Praetorian Guard leader.
After turning two intersections and walking to a relatively remote palace wall, Chu Yunsheng saw that there was no one around, so he turned around and looked at the two Praetorian Guards and said, "I'll come." ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and snatched the rope they were holding.
The two Praetorian Guard soldiers didn't notice anything unusual, but just as they let go of the rope holding Xiao Yijun, Chu Yunsheng's other hand had already quickly touched their acupoints, and in the blink of an eye, they clicked on the acupoints and dumb points of these two people.
She could have killed these two people with a knife in her hand, but when she turned to look at these two people, she relented, thinking that these two people were also innocent, although they were He Rong's subordinates, she didn't know about the entanglement between them, and it was a pity to lose her life for no reason.
That's why she changed to a point.
After clicking on the acupoints of these two people, Chu Yunsheng loosened the rope that bound his aunt, and then raised his hand to untie his aunt's dumb hole.
Then without waiting for her aunt to speak, Chu Yunsheng immediately raised her hand to hold her waist, led her over the palace wall, and left here as fast as possible.
The two kept running, and after crossing five or six palaces, which were far away from the previous position, Chu Yunsheng found a secluded palace and stopped, then looked at Xiao Yijun and said, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Although Xiao Yijun was taken away by Chu Yunsheng, she was already weak, and after being blown by the cold wind for so long, she was also panting, she clenched Chu Yunsheng's palm, and said tremblingly: "Ah Sheng, I'm sorry, my aunt has troubled you again." ”
Before the words fell, her tears could not help falling.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng was a little at a loss for a while, she hurriedly said: "How come, you are my aunt, how can we say that there is a tie between us, besides, even if we are not the closest people between us, you saved me in the first place, and I should repay you, not to mention, we are still the closest people." ”
Speaking of the closest person, Xiao Yijun was stunned, there were still tears in her eyes, so she looked at Chu Yunsheng in a daze and said, "Ah Sheng, your little uncle ...... him"
She didn't say the rest of the words, but her tone was already choked up.
Even if she heard the rumors outside, she still didn't believe it, so she didn't hesitate to run to the old ministry at any risk, wanting to sneak into the palace to confirm, but she never thought that in this way, she exposed herself, and in the end she was caught by others.
Seeing Xiao Yijun's appearance at this time, Chu Yunsheng was distressed, but she had to tell her this fact.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, little uncle is ......"
She couldn't say the last few words.
Moreover, speaking of which, like Xiao Yijun, she couldn't help but fall tears.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng like this, Xiao Yijun also understood, at this moment, her body was stunned, and her heart seemed to have been slashed with a knife, she choked and said, "So, the notice outside is true?"
Although it is a question sentence, it is in an affirmative tone.
Because looking at Chu Yunsheng's expression, even if she didn't speak, her expression already said everything.
Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath, then raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry aunt, I didn't protect him well, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for my mother." ”
As soon as she talked about her mother, the pain in Xiao Yijun's eyes became a little more intense, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, and she kept falling.
"I don't blame you. ”
After taking a hard breath like Chu Yunsheng, Xiao Yijun gritted his teeth and said, "It's not your fault. ”
Although, she was almost killed by Xiao Jingshu, but, after all, it was her own brother, the younger brother she raised and cared for, in her opinion, such a younger brother was heavier than her own life, and this younger brother was still the hope of the father, queen mother and sister, and the hope of defending the country, however, until this moment, she knew that the hope of defending the country was gone.
Xiao Yijun couldn't accept it all of a sudden, her already weak body couldn't hold it anymore at this time, her knees were weak, and she fell directly to the ground.
Chu Yunsheng was distressed when she saw it, she hurriedly helped Xiao Yijun to sit down on the side, and then said: "Auntie, mourning, he has already gone, and when he left, he was still thinking about waiting for your forgiveness." ”
Chu Yunsheng didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Xiao Yijun cried even more sadly.
There has to be a process of acceptance, Chu Yunsheng wanted to take out the two jade pendants he carried with him from his arms, one was left to her by her mother, and the other was from her uncle.
However, her hand reached into her arms, but her body slammed into the ground, and there was only one jade pendant left!
At this moment, the blood around her seemed to be flowing backwards, and when she quickly took out the remaining one and determined that the one was the little uncle's and the mother's one was gone, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly shed tears again.
However, at this time, Xiao Yijun was crying sadly, Chu Yunsheng couldn't bear her to be more sad, and he couldn't bear her to be anxious, so she didn't say it, she only raised her hand and silently handed her little uncle's jade pendant to her aunt.
When she saw the jade pendant of King Wei, Xiao Yijun stopped crying, she looked at the jade pendant in a daze, as if she saw more people coming further through the jade pendant.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng's mind was no longer on the scene in front of her, her heart was full of thinking about the jade pendant left to her by her mother, in her opinion, it was her life.
You must know that after being reborn, in order to find this jade pendant, how much effort did she take, you must know how much her mother values this jade pendant, and you must know how much she loves her mother.
These are all carried on the jade pendant.
