Chapter 515: Escape
Although the forbidden army outside is outnumbered, fortunately, Shen Jun's martial arts are strong, and he has followed Gao Heng for many years and has experienced many dangers.
Although he couldn't annihilate all the forbidden troops in front of him with the strength of one person, in order to give Cheng Jinzhi as much time to escape as possible, he was still able to resist the whirlwind for a while.
The candles in the house were all extinguished, and the surrounding light quickly disappeared, making the already silent night even darker.
Seeing that the gate was suddenly smashed open, and in the case of limited light and unable to see her face clearly, the forbidden soldiers guarding around the courtyard only thought that she was Cheng Jinzhi who intended to break out of the mansion when they saw the outfit on Taxue's body, and did not realize that there was a deception in it, and quickly surrounded her.
Not far away, there was a cacophony of swords and human voices, which made people feel uneasy, like sharp claws, scratching on the tip of their hearts.
Cheng Jinzhi stood up from the ground with a tense spirit, and before he had time to think about it, he walked quickly to the wall of the locust tree entrenched in his waist.
The tree in front of him looks a little ghostly against the backdrop of the night, although it is not called a towering tree, but it is really a little high, fortunately Cheng Jinzhi only has to climb to the same height as the wall edge, and does not need to climb to the top.
In addition, because she was hungry since she was a child, she often climbed the orange tree in the backyard of Chengfu when no one was there to steal the fruit, so climbing the tree was just a little more physical effort for her, but it was not difficult.
I saw that she was grasping the trunk of the tree with both hands, and her feet were exerting force with the help of the force point, and soon she had climbed close to the edge of the wall.
The sound not far away gradually became weaker, but Cheng Jinzhi's heartbeat became more and more intense and nervous, and most of the strength of his hands and feet had been consumed.
She took a deep breath, because she was worried about the safety of Shen Jun and Taxue, although she was nervous, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the courtyard.
But because of the night fog and limited distance, she could only vaguely see a few clusters of firelight swaying in her field of vision, and she couldn't clearly see what Shen Junhe's situation was when she stepped on the snow, so she could only keep praying in her heart that they were safe.
But she didn't know that the moment she turned around and touched the wall with one hand......
As the torches were lit up one by one, Tyuki's true appearance was revealed, and the forbidden army became angry, and a sharp sword in his hand slashed at her mercilessly.
At this time, Cheng Jinzhi was already lying on the edge of the wall and looking down. This wall belongs to the backyard of the palace, and it is a relatively lax guarded area, or it may be because of the sudden accident in the palace, and there is no forbidden army under the wall for the time being.
And because of the dead of night, Yanwang's Mansion has become a taboo place for everyone, and the empty road is deserted, and you can only feel as cool as water.
The height of the wall was a certain distance from the ground, but now without any aids, she had to jump down. Rubbing his fists and swallowing his saliva again, Cheng Jinzhi clung to the trunk of the tree closest to the ground, then closed his eyes, and jumped down with the awe-inspiring heart of "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell"!
The night breeze mixed with a slight coolness came to my face, and at the moment when I hit the ground heavily, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my ankle.
But at this moment, Cheng Jinzhi no longer cared about inspecting the injury or crying out in pain, but kept holding on to the wall and immediately propped himself up, and after finding that he was barely able to move, he staggered forward.
Unexpectedly, he had just taken a few steps when he heard a noise behind him. Immediately after, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the night.
"She's there, catch her!"
Hearing this sudden shout, Cheng Jinzhi's heart trembled, and when he learned that his whereabouts had been exposed, his whole heart rose to his throat, and he endured the pain and sped up his pace.
Since he was finally able to escape from the palace, he could not live up to the expectations of the people no matter what, and he had to fight his way out.
However, after all, she had a foot injury, and those forbidden troops were menacing, even if Cheng Jinzhi desperately wanted to escape, he was quickly encircled and had no way out.
"What a move. Princess Yan, where are you going?"
Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi was already a turtle in the urn, there was nothing to be afraid of, and one of the people in charge of guarding the forbidden army slowed down and stepped forward, with a sinister smile on his lips.
"Do you really have the heart to watch the entire palace be buried for you?"
"Don't hurt them, they're innocent!"
Cheng Jinzhi's pupils tightened, thinking of the safety of Taxue and the others, as well as Xiao Heng who she couldn't take away, the tip of her nose suddenly soured.
At this moment, the people in the mansion are hanging by a thread for her life, and they are all willing to give up their lives, but they are at this moment
But it still fell into the hands of the enemy again, and in the end, it was a bad move, and it was difficult to protect itself.
For a moment, a deep sense of powerlessness slowly penetrated the soles of her feet from the top of her head, making her feel that she was so useless.
"Whether it will hurt them or not depends on whether you are worthy of cooperation, Princess Yan. If the princess still wants them to live, she will go back with us obediently, otherwise her subordinates can't guarantee how many corpses there will be in the palace before dawn?"
Listening to the other party's cruel and sinister words, the breath in Cheng Jinzhi's chest stagnated, if he had a sharp sword in his hand at this moment, he would definitely slash at this person without hesitation.
"Okay, if you're not afraid of death, give it a try. ”
Cheng Jinzhi knew that she was a guilty person, and no one was afraid of her identity as a princess, if she was more angry and afraid at this time, the more majestic these people in front of her would be, and let them be more bold and unscrupulous.
Therefore, her face turned and she showed the anger in her heart, but instead snorted disdainfully, putting on a disapproving look.
Now you must think that my Royal Highness and I will inevitably die, and the future throne must be the crown prince's, right?"
"Hmph, isn't it?"
The forbidden army's eyes turned slightly when he heard this, obviously a little surprised by Cheng Jinzhi's strange attitude, but his tone was still unhurried. "It is a fact that King Yan colluded with Nanchu to rebel, and His Majesty has sent General Lin to lead an army to intercept it, in case he gets news on the way, and unites Nanchu to take advantage of the situation to raise troops to force the palace. I think at this time, he must have been on the way to the escort, and he was about to arrive in the capital, right?"
And learning that Emperor Zhou sent Lin Kang to arrest Gao Heng, Cheng Jinzhi's already worried mood was once again clouded, and his face couldn't help but become more and more embarrassed.
also made her realize that no matter whether Gao Heng fell into the hands of Lin Kang or not, time was running out.
"Our Royal Highness was able to fight against hundreds of elite iron horsemen of the Western Jin Dynasty with his own strength, and he returned victorious, but an arrogant and reckless man like Lin Kang couldn't move him at all. ”
Even though his heart was already fluctuating and his chest was stagnant, Cheng Jinzhi was still trying his best to be calm on the surface, but his steps had unconsciously retreated.
However, with every step she took back, the forbidden army would advance a point, obviously leaving her no room for retreat.
Faced with the current crisis that is impossible to breathe, Cheng Jinzhi has been forced to be at a loss. She gritted her teeth and her eyes raced around, searching for an opportunity to save herself.
And when the eye waves flowed, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, I saw her standing in front of the forbidden army, and then her eyes were like torches, and the corners of her lips were lightly raised.
"Since I can get out of the palace today, I will never go back. ”
