Chapter 893: Under Your Nose

Yang Xianmao took down the bow and a barrel of arrow feathers of a Jin Army archer by the way and hung them on his body. Then he took the second daughter and rushed straight to the imperial garden, until he rushed to the garden where the elephants were closed before, there were thirty elephants, all of them were tall and abnormal, and they were very scary.

In this imperial garden, there are rare stones and exotic beasts collected by Song Huizong from all over the country, but these stones are very heavy, although they are priceless, they are not something that a few people can move. And although those animals are very precious, in the eyes of Jin Jun, they don't have time to care. They were more interested in the light and easy-to-carry gold and silver jewelry, so their attention was focused on that. No one rushed to the Imperial Garden to grab these rare beasts, and there was no one here for a while. Occasionally, the Jin army would quickly withdraw and plunder other palaces. Yang Xianmao let go of the second daughter, took the longbow from her body, and said to the second daughter, "Follow me." ”

Then he rushed to the elephant's garden, drew his longbow and aimed it at the elephant's forehead, and shot an arrow, half of which went into the elephant's head.

The elephant let out an earth-shattering roar, tilted its long snout, revealing its two fangs like sharp blades, and narrowed its eyes, and rushed towards Yang Xianmao and them, trying to break through the fence. But these fences are all made of steel, and they hit with a bang, and they can be easily knocked open.

Yang Xianmao shot two more arrows, both of which hit the head of the big elephant, and the elephant finally fell to the ground with a scream.

Yang Xianmao put down the longbow and flew onto the top of the elephant's huge belly. A long cut was made with a single knife, and then he got into it, and used the knife to separate all the internal organs in the elephant's belly, creating a small space.

Then, Yang Xianmao came out covered in blood, grabbed the arms of the two people, flew onto the elephant's body, and said: "Go inside, I have dug a hole in it, hiding in the elephant's belly should be able to escape this catastrophe, wait until the evening and we will escape." ”

What choice did these two women have, although they saw Yang Xianmao coming from inside, covered in blood. But it was better than falling into the hands of a traitor, so he gritted his teeth and got into the belly of the elephant.

Yang Xianmao also got in, and then took out the needle and thread used for surgery from his bosom and sewed the elephant's skin back on. However, the stitches are relatively loose, so that there are some gaps that allow air to pass through.

The elephant was so large that it fell to the ground horizontally, but it was more than a man tall when it fell, so it was impossible to see the cut on the belly of the elephant facing up when standing on the flat ground, and it was impossible to find it as long as you didn't climb up to the elephant to check it.

The other elephants in the orchard seemed to be oblivious to the slaughter and continued to walk slowly in the orchard.

They were in the belly of an elephant, which had just died, and it was still warm inside. So even if it's a cold winter outside, you don't feel cold inside. But Yang Xianmao knew that if this continued, they would soon die of cold, because the moist blood would soon freeze in the unusually cold air.

Yang Xianmao immediately took off his armor and laid it underneath, allowing the two women to sit on top of the armor, and at the same time using the single knife in his hand to expand the space, so that they would not sit in it and lean on their wet stomachs. This will at least ensure that the elephant will not be frozen by the cold winter outside because the temperature drops due to the death of the elephant.

At the beginning, Concubine Xian and the fourth princess were startled when they saw Yang Xianmao undressing, although they guessed that Yang Xianmao would not be able to do beastly things, but they didn't understand what he was going to do. Until Yang Xianmao spread the armor underneath and let them be used as mattresses. Only then did they understand that Yang Xianmao was here to avoid them from freezing, but fortunately, when the two of them came out, they wore a dress made of thick fur, so that they would not freeze.

Yang Xianmao listened attentively to the situation outside, and the shouting and killing outside continued until the second half of the night, and the shouting and killing gradually disappeared. Presumably, it was the resisting Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi guards who fled to death, and the voice was quiet.

Yang Xianmao had been sitting cross-legged with them back to back. Use their broad shoulders as a pillar for the two of them to lean on, so that they don't get too tired.

Yang Xianmao knew that the general of the Jin Army must have gone crazy to search for them, so he believed that even if he killed the general of the Jin Army, he would not have imagined that they were actually hiding in the belly of a dead elephant.

Yang Xianmao closed his eyes and sat down, and the two women were really trembling with fright, because they heard screams and cries from a distance from outside from time to time, and they knew what a miserable scene the palace was. If the two of them were not rescued by Yang Xianmao, they were afraid that they would make these sounds.

Yang Xianmao was not wrong, Wanyan Zongwang was about to go crazy, he took that group of cavalry and finally caught up with his own wounded war horse, only to find that there was no one on the horse. Knowing that he had been deceived, he immediately turned around and came back, scattering along the road to investigate, but found no trace of them.

At this time, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong had already become prisoners of the Jin army, including the empress and others. But none of this can arouse Yan Zongwang's interest, he just wants to catch the fourth princess. So he just ordered the two Song Dynasty emperors to be put into custody, and all of them were concentrated in the empty square of the imperial garden, and he had to screen them one by one.

He believed that the fourth princess must still be hiding in the palace. For he has decreed that all the gates of the city should be shut, and that no one should go out, or else he would be killed. And sent cavalry to lay layers of nets along the walls of the palace city, so it was absolutely impossible for Imperial Doctor Yang and the fourth princess to escape.

Soon, all the women of the palace gathered in the empty beast training ground in the Imperial Garden, where the two emperors specially enjoyed animal performances. It is also a polo field in the palace, where polo matches can be played. Now it has become the place where the concubines and maids in these palaces gather to wait for Yan Zongwang to inspect them one by one and search for the four princesses.

And this animal training farm is diagonally opposite the elephant house, and the sound here can be heard clearly in the elephant field diagonally opposite. In the midst of the extreme chaos, many of the animals in the Imperial Garden were also killed by random arrows. Of course, a considerable part of them were done by Yang Xianmao, in order to confuse Jin Jun. In addition, some of the soldiers of the Jin Army who rushed in were killed by indiscriminate arrows in excitement, and some were accidentally injured in fierce battles with the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi guards defending the city. So the elephant fell in the elephant garden and went unnoticed.

After all, the people gathered in the field now are all top-notch existences, including the two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, and their beautiful queen mothers, concubines, and princesses. And now these women who were once high above have become prisoners, huddled into a ball and weeping one by one. These generals of the Jin Army were arrogant, scolding loudly with their shiny swords, just wanting to see them trembling in front of them.

Soon the venue was crowded with the women of the palace, young and old, whether they were noble or lowly, the old and the young were all gathered here.

Next, Wanyan Zongwang gave two orders, one is to search all the palaces and all possible hiding places, and make sure to grow the four princesses, and the other is to ask the personal palace maid of the fourth princess and a few stable women in the military camp to follow him to check one by one, of course he does not allow other men to meet women who may be the fourth princess, and it will be his person in the future.

They mainly look to see if the old women are disguised and the young women are disguised. At this moment, these old and young women were pulled by their hair and their faces were screened one by one, and they cried again.

Then, they pulled those who were closer to the four princesses to one side, and those who were too fat or too thin to be able to disguise themselves as the four princesses were pulled to the other side, focusing on screening, and the whole process lasted until the evening. It was combed several times like a sieve. screened one by one, and most of the day passed, but the fourth princess still couldn't be found.

The results of the people who searched all over the palace came back to report also disappointed Wanyan Zongwang, although he found some hidden palace maids, eunuchs and even Niangniang, but he failed to find the fourth princess, nor did he find the hateful Yang Imperial Doctor.

They didn't notice that Concubine Xian Niangniang had also disappeared, after all, under this chaos, some concubines and palace maids had been hacked to death by the Jin army, and some had committed suicide directly in order to maintain their innocence. No one knows if this lady is also among them, and no one will care about her, at least until her son becomes emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty.

When all the search and screening results were reported to Wanyan Zongwang and the fourth princess was still not found, Wanyan Zongwang was about to go crazy. It was as if someone had secretly harvested the crops that had taken a whole year of hard work and spent a whole year to grow them, but the night before the harvest was stolen, someone had secretly harvested them.

Wanyan Zongwang shouted hysterically: "Fourth princess, no matter where you are at the ends of the earth, no matter where you flee to, you are mine, I must find you!"

Hearing this, the four princesses hiding in the belly of the elephant couldn't help but tremble. She was very scared, she didn't know why the commander of the Golden Kingdom had to find her. Even so crazy, how can he escape his clutches.

……………………

Yang Xianmao knew that they couldn't wait any longer, because it was a cold winter month, and it was surprisingly cold. Although they hid in the elephant's belly, and his armor was underneath. But the armor only kept them out from the blood and internal organs below, and the cold could not resist them.

Not to mention in the wet belly of an elephant, even in the palace, on such a cold night, if there is no stove, the whole body will be stiffened, and even frostbite and freeze to death. Yang Xianmao's body has been tempered, of course he is not afraid of these, but the four princesses and the virtuous concubine have already been frozen and half stiff.

Yang Xianmao insisted on waiting until nightfall, and only under the cover of night could they have a greater chance of escaping. But after nightfall, he found that it was still not as easy as he had imagined.
