Great Summer Palace, Wuying Palace.

Helian Mingzhu listened to the sound of running, shouting, and scolding outside, and only covered his nephew's ears with his hands, endured the fear in his heart, and hid in the pavilion of Wuying Hall with his nephew in his arms, not daring to make a sound at all.

As she expected, since her royal brother killed her brother's family, the entire palace and city have been in turmoil, there are constantly foreign ministers and good generals defecting, palace Chinese martial arts ministers come and go non-stop, Ziji Hall is brightly lit every day, and the ministers are left to discuss countermeasures day and night, and there is no possibility of leaving the palace at all.

At noon today, there was a sudden sound of turmoil in the palace, some people shouted "the Great Khan King has run away", some people shouted "The Great Khan King has gone out to conquer in person", and some people shouted that the Wei people had broken through the Tongwan City......

Originally, she was not afraid of death at all, even if she was really caught, when she revealed her identity, as the princess of the Xia Kingdom, at most she was only given a meritorious hero as a wife and concubine.

But now, she can't die, and she can't have an accident.

Because she also has a nephew alive.

A few days ago, she entered the Wuying Palace, but was shocked by the headless corpses in a hall, and fainted with fright, and when she came to her senses, she could only endure the grief in her heart, and found all the curtains and cloth towels in the entire Wuying Palace, covering the bodies of her sister-in-law and nephews.

She is still a girl in the age of cardamom, and when she encounters such a change, I don't know whether to hate the Wei people who ruined her country outside, or to hate Brother Wang, who has always been afraid of her brother's talent, and even made her brother's whole family head in a different place.

Just as she covered her relatives with curtains, she found that her eldest brother's eldest son, ten-year-old Helian was missing.

Helian Zhishui grew up in Zhang Yuan's mansion since he was a child, and he didn't return to the Plains Mansion for a long time, so whether it was habits or bearing, he was completely different from his younger brothers, and he didn't know what the reason was, all the bodies of his brother's relatives in the Wuying Palace were there, except for the ten-year-old Helian Zhishui.

Originally, everyone had no head, and it was not easy to recognize this nephew, but Helian Zhishui was different from everyone else, he was older than the other nephews, taller, and more importantly, this child had six fingers on his left hand......

Knowing that his nephew is alive and his brother still has bloodline, Helian Mingzhu is happy and sad, sad that he doesn't know where this child has gone now, and happy that there are still people who are willing to hide this matter, which shows that there are still people in the palace who remember their brother's goodness and left him bloodline.

On the night she entered the temple, because the main hall was full of corpses, she only dared to secretly find a corner of the side hall and wrap her mattress for the night. The silence of the night in the deep palace is simply crazy, Helian Mingzhu has been favored since she was a child, she has always been the stars holding the moon, and she has never slept alone at night, in this dark place, she can even hear her own breathing, such fear makes her unable to sleep peacefully, she can only hold the futon and think nonsense.

In the middle of the night, a small opening suddenly opened in the wall of the side hall, and a short shadow ran out. Helian Mingzhu shouldn't have found it, but when the shadow fell, it happened to step on her feet, and in the dark night when she couldn't see her fingers, they were both startled and screamed in shock.

This call allowed Helian Mingzhu to find his brother's last blood and bones.

When there was an accident in the Wuying Palace, Helian Zhishui was punished to kneel in the side hall.

His biological mother died early, and his stepmother was the daughter of a big family, and he never got along with him for a day, and because he grew up in Han, he was born with six fingers, neither his stepmother nor his younger brothers liked him, even if he suffered together in this deep palace, he would suffer from various reasons from time to time.

Helian Zhishui is the age of naughty, even if he is punished to kneel, he is not idle. He sat on his knees facing the wall in boredom, and while playing with the corner, he discovered this moving wall.

This wall is a typical Hun painting wall, the wall is full of flowers and grass lines, if you don't look carefully, you can't see this dark room at all. There is a quilt in the dark room, the place is small, I think this is not a dark room, just a place for bedding and miscellaneous items in the palace people with the hall, but Helian Zhishui is not tall, if you squeeze it in, there is even room for it.

Since Helian Zhishui discovered this dark room, he regarded it as his "secret place", not only secretly put some food and water into it, but also threw a lot of clothes and necessary things into it, thinking that one day his stepmother would make it difficult again, so he simply made a "disappear" to scare them.

Wuying Hall is his father's residence when he was the prince, the old palace people have long been out of the house with his father, so many years Wuying Hall has been vacant, there is a utility room here, most people don't know.

On that day, a palace guard rushed into the hall violently, and the crying and shouting outside were loud, he grew up beside his great-grandfather since he was a child, and he was quite bold, and when he saw that the shape was wrong, he immediately sneaked into this dark room, and blocked the door with the bedding and other things that had already been in it, so that as soon as others opened the dark room, they would find the quilt inside, thinking that it was a closet for bedding.

Fortunately, no one found him, and no one found him, and when night fell and there was no movement outside, he sneaked out of the dark room and saw the same scene as Helian Mingzhu.

It's just that what he saw was even more miserable than Helian Mingzhu, because Helian Mingzhu already knew that her brother's relatives had been beheaded, and when he saw those headless people, he had to endure the fear in his heart to identify what their identities were......

The palace people heard the sound of women and children crying at night in Wuying Palace, and the sound of crying blood was not really a ghost, but from Helian Zhishui, who was already grieving to death.

No matter how much Helian Zhishui's stepmother didn't treat him, she never beat and scolded him, didn't let him eat, didn't let him do his homework, and just made him kneel when he behaved frivolously. He is the eldest son and has an awkward identity. [,！ I have been prepared to be wronged, but no matter how resentful I am, I won't hate the other party to the point of letting the other party die.

And now they're all dead.

A huge Wuying Palace, only life is better than death.

After the aunt and nephew took pity on each other, and after hugging their heads and crying, Helian Mingzhu cheered up all her spirits, determined to take care of herself, and thought of sending this nephew out of the palace.

But the next day, something happened in the palace, the old palace man who had agreed to come to give her something did not come, and Helian Mingzhu didn't dare to run out with his nephew like this, so the two of them still hid in the Wuying Palace, relying on the remaining food and water to survive this time.

But now that I think about it, it would have been nice to run away when there was a commotion, and maybe at that time, I would have run out.

Helian Mingzhu held her nephew's hand and kept shaking, she heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, but she didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, and what identity.

Now the people in the Great Xia Palace don't dare to come to the Wuying Palace at all, they will run here, and it is impossible for them to be from the Xia Kingdom.

"Auntie, don't be afraid." Although Helian Zhishui was covered with his ears, he could feel Helian Mingzhu's trembling." Wait a minute, you hide in the closet, I'll hide somewhere else."

"Don't talk nonsense! In such a small place, where can my aunt hide it! You go hide first, and I'll find a place to hide. Wuying Hall is so big, there is always a place to hide! "

Seeing that he was still being comforted by his young nephew, Helian Mingzhu felt inexplicably sad in his heart, and the hand covering his ears touched his head instead.

"It's useless to be an aunt, you must take care of yourself, your father didn't surrender and didn't die, if it really doesn't work, you can still go to Zhang Linggong, he must be fine!"

The night that Helian Zhishui was most afraid of has passed, and now there is almost no emotion of "fear", leaving only endless hatred for Helian Chang and the Wei people.

The hatred for Helian Chang is still above the Wei people.

Helian Mingzhu has already painted his face sallow, his eyebrows are thick and black, and his beauty has lost seven points. In addition, she was wrapped in a thick strip of cloth on her chest, dressed in a wide eunuch service, and when she hugged Helian Zhishui, even Helian Zhishui would forget that this was his aunt who was known for her beauty.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and to Helian Mingzhu's relief, there were only two or three people in the footsteps, and they would never be soldiers of the Wei State.

The aunt and nephew glanced at each other, and Helian Zhishui pulled out the dagger from the boot, unsheathed it, and held it on his chest.

The Huns have the habit of hiding a sharp blade in their boots, Helian Mingzhu also put a handful of Yucui when he went out, and stuffed it into her boots, Helian Mingzhu's first reaction when he saw his nephew was to take out his weapon, instead of being relieved like her, he was even more ashamed of his cowardice, and he also pulled out his dagger, held his breath, and waited to find out their actions.

Those people were all eunuchs in the palace, and Helian Mingzhu seemed to feel that one of the voices was still familiar. Those few people sneaked into the Wuying Palace, and after covering the door, a shrill voice said, "Huh? Who put a curtain on the family of the Plains Gong?"

They had thought that they would see a headless corpse when they came in, and they were ready to be frightened, but who wanted to turn around and find that the corpse had been neatly placed and covered with most of the curtain, and they were finally relieved.

"Probably Princess Mingzhu sent someone to do it. Except for that one, no one in this palace would dare to do such a thing under His Majesty's nose."

Another shrill voice called in a low voice: "Stop chatting, while it's still messy, no one will notice that we will run, find something valuable to take out!" There are also clothes, where can I find the clothes of ordinary people in the palace now, take off the clothes of these dead people, let's change them, let's go out of the palace! "

"Do you really want to do that? Last year, Princess Pearl also rewarded me with a plate of dim sum, and now I am a little ...... to do this."

"We are all people who have no □□, you really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! If we don't run now, when those fierce gods and evil spirits of Wei come in, we won't be able to run away. If it weren't for the fact that you are all fellow villagers, why would I take you with me, I would have run faster myself! "

The other two voices stopped talking, and then the sound of the curtain being shaken open, and the sound of Soso's clothes turning.

"This woman has a gold bracelet!" A voice exclaimed in surprise: "There is a gemstone ring on your finger!"

Helian Zhishui's face showed anger.

What these people are doing is self-evident.

The beheaders sent by Helian Chang were all henchmen around him, all of whom were guards from the Xiongnu aristocracy, and these people left after completing their tasks, without looting any property at all. Later, Helian Chang was in a bad mood, and the guards patrolling the palace were always wandering around the Wuying Palace, and even Helian Mingzhu was knocked out and taken away when he went to the Wuying Palace, and no one dared to enter the Wuying Palace.

Later, the situation in the palace changed greatly, Helian Mingzhu sneaked in, and today, even a few ordinary eunuchs dared to step into the Wuying Hall to make a mistake!

"Don't take the big one, the big one is too conspicuous on the body, pick the small one, gold rings, gems, jade pendants, etc., so that it is easy to carry and sell." The older one was obviously teaching them to pick out life-saving things." There are also clothes, don't pick too good clothes, otherwise you will be robbed as a dignitary, just pick the worst one! "

When Helian Zhishui heard that even his clothes were going to be ripped off, his hand holding the dagger tightened, and he jumped up and was about to go out to kill.

Although he was raised by the Han people, he had the fierceness of the Huns by nature, and Helian Mingzhu saw that he couldn't help but go out at all, so he hurriedly hugged him and whispered in his ear:

"Stop the water, don't go, don't go, my aunt scared them away......"

Helian water stop sweep. [,！ glanced at my aunt and shook her head violently: "You're not as good as me!"

Seeing Helian Zhishui struggling desperately, Helian Mingzhu buried his head in his shoulder socket, and said hatefully: "If you go out, I will cut myself. They are all dead, even if the clothes and jewelry are taken away, what does it matter? The important thing is the living people. You're still alive, but if you get out, those three guys shout, or take a risk, you might die. You wait, they will have retribution......"

Suddenly, even more noisy footsteps rushed towards the Wuying Palace, and there were about a few hundred people listening to the sound. These voices were heavy, obviously they were all adult men, and occasionally the sound of weapons and armor rubbing kept coming, Helian Mingzhu was happy at first, and then thought that no matter who came, Helian Zhishui would be dead as soon as he appeared, and immediately pushed him against the wall.

"Hide in! It's Helianchang's people who are here, I'll be fine! "

Helian stopped the water and was also obedient, seeing that the situation was not right, he didn't say anything more, and as soon as the wall board slipped, the cat's waist got into it.

The side hall is not a place to sleep, but Helian Mingzhu saw that there was a window here to see the moon, so he moved the futon here, and now the time is urgent, so he immediately put the futon on the wall and ran out.

Mo said that Helian Mingzhu heard the sound outside, and the three eunuchs also heard it, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they didn't have time to put on the clothes they took off the ground, so they only wore their middle clothes and ran to the back of the hall with valuable things.

Helian Mingzhu ran out of the palace, and was taking a look at the eunuchs who were running back, both parties were shocked, and the three eunuchs saw that she was also wearing eunuch clothes, and then remembered what they were here to do, and immediately showed ruthlessness on their faces, and wanted to arrest her.

Helian Mingzhu flashed the dagger in his hand, approached the side of a eunuch, stabbed a man in the arm, and then ran backwards lifelessly.

Although she will also have two or three life-saving tricks, but after all, she doesn't take this as a long, she runs immediately after a successful blow, she grew up with Helian Chang since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the environment of Wuying Palace, and she ran away without a shadow all of a sudden

"There is really no one here, it's strange, everyone in the entire Great Summer Palace is panicking, let's run all the way, there are people fleeing in each hall, why is there no one here...... Scare! "

He Mulan was startled as soon as he entered the door, and Tuoba Tao led Yue Ying into the Wuying Palace, and frowned when he saw the messy headless corpses in the hall, as well as the clothes that had been turned upside down.

"No wonder no one, this is where Helian Chang created evil." Tuoba Tao glanced at the clothes on the ground. There are also clothes taken off next to this, but we didn't see anyone when we came in, these eunuchs should still be hiding in the palace, Mulan, you take a dozen guards to search all the palaces, and the others are here to protect me."

"Yes. His Majesty...... Lord Du Shou, you have to be careful yourself."

After He Mulan and Tuoba Tao entered the Great Xia Palace, they naturally couldn't call him His Majesty anymore, but they couldn't call him by his name, and shouting "Yue Ying" like at the beginning was "the crime of bullying the king" if he did it again, so after He Mulan expressed his worries, Tuoba Tao told her very honorably, his Xianbei name "Buddha Raccoon" was louder than "Tuoba Tao" among the countries, and his pseudonym was "Du Shou" outside, so she called him Du Shou.

This reminded Hermulan of "He Guang" at once. Can she say that these two people are worthy of being father and son? Even the style of the pseudonym is the same. Tuoba Tao's mother's surname is "Du", Tao is composed of Shoushui, so he assumed the pseudonym "Du Shou".

His son's mother's surname was He Lai, and he went by the pseudonym "He Guang".

He Mulan knew that there were still people from the Xia Kingdom Palace hidden in it, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and took more than a dozen guards to look for them one by one, and finally found the three trembling eunuchs in a palace room.

They didn't say anything long-winded, and directly stuffed the three eunuchs with something in their mouths and took them away like chickens. The three eunuchs were weak and pitiful among the tall and handsome guards in Tuoba Tao, and they didn't even struggle a few times, and they were immediately arrested.

The guards threw the three eunuchs in front of Tuoba Tao, pulled out the things in the mouth of one of the eunuchs, the eunuch kowtowed to beg for mercy, and only Tuoba Tao could speak Hun dialect among the people, and after asking a few words at random, he asked the guards to slaughter them.

He Mulan watched as the guard pulled out his blade and killed two eunuchs, and the other eunuch shouted something, Tuoba Tao continued to wave his hand expressionlessly, and the guard who did it nodded and killed the rest mercilessly.

For a while, the eunuch's muffled scream was still echoing in the hall, and Yue Ying, who was brought into the hall by Tuoba Tao, seemed to think that he was very noisy and snorted.

After entering the Great Summer Palace, it was not appropriate to ride horses around, including Hemulan who put his horses in a remote place. Only Yue Ying, no matter what, he didn't want to stay, he was screaming and jumping, Tuoba Tao was helpless, so he had to pull it around the palace, and when he saw that no one was running in the direction of Wuying Palace, he came to Wuying Palace.

Yue Ying is quite human, knowing that he can't be capricious at this time, he doesn't hesitate to go up and down the stairs, and he also drills when he should bow his head and drill wherever he wants, and he hasn't even sent out the iconic "hee hee hee" once. There was a snort in this hall, the first strange sound in so long.

Tuoba Tao touched its nose and said to He Mulan, who looked inexplicable: "You don't understand the Hun dialect. The people who died here were all the families of the Plains Gong of the Xia Kingdom, and they wanted to escape from the palace, so they came to loot the relics of the deceased......"

Tuoba Tao seemed to think of something bad, and said with a cold face: "I hate people who betray their lords and forget their righteousness the most in my life, although Helian Ding is not the king, but he has worked hard for the country for many years, and he has died nine times in his life, and the reason is to settle well. These villains, if they kill them, they will be killed, and I don't want them to do anything, but to keep them will add to the chaos."

He said to the guards again, "That.[,!] Before he died, the elder eunuch said that there was another person in this Wuying Palace, who was the one who guarded the body, and you should go and find him."

He Mullan was amazed.

These three eunuchs are about to die, and they have to bite out others, what kind of vicious heart is this?

Anyway, if you want to die, can't you live one?

Seeing He Mulan's stunned expression, Tuoba Tao smiled dumbly: "You little pawn, what environment did you live in before?" There are many sinister people in this world, and some people would rather do things that harm others and themselves than live happily. There are also people who are in danger themselves, and they have to drag others into the water for no reason. When you've experienced more, you'll be surprised."

He Mulan shook her head and turned to search with the guards, but Tuoba Tao called her softly: "Mulan, you don't have to go."

He Mulan paused, and returned to Tuobatao's side.

"We are hiding in the Great Summer Palace, and we always need someone who is familiar with the palace in the Great Summer Palace to explain the situation. It's just that my identity is different, and I can't let the Xia people know my identity, so I have to disguise myself under a pseudonym, and I can't show others my identity."

Tuoba Tao refers to Mullan.

"Now you are the general of our group of 'Wei soldiers', I am your lieutenant general, you dress better than all of us, try to show the bearing of the leader. When the people of that palace are arrested, they will act when they see the opportunity."

"Me?" He Mullan pointed at himself." Where do I have the appearance of a general? It's Lord Du Shou, the guards around you, which one of them pulls it out is more imposing than me! "

The selection conditions of the Su Guards are good appearance, good image, and excellent body, otherwise the "beauty" of Di Yefei in the previous life will not be surprised if he is selected into the Su Guard. In a sense, the emperor also hopes that he will be surrounded by handsome and temperamental retinues, rather than a bunch of reckless men who talk and salivate.

"You don't understand, it's because we're all beautiful men......" Tuoba Tao shamelessly boasted to himself, and the guards next to him chuckled, "So you, the most inconspicuous among us, are like a general."

"Huh?"

He Mulan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, but she was speechless.

"You're wearing a black hammer armor, which is also a rare treasure armor. We're all in leather armor, and we look like generals. Now, I'll leave it to you Yueying, you must pretend to be a good general." Tuoba Tao probably thought this was also funny, and took a picture with a smile.

Yue Ying stood there in style, still like a real shadow.

The dozen or so guards waited for Tuoba Tao to finish his order, and immediately slowed down and continued to search in the Wuying Palace. The rest of the guards guarded the gate to prevent someone from breaking into the Wuying Hall like the eunuchs who had made a fortune just now.

After a while, the guards grabbed a sallow eunuch into the main hall, and when they saw the corpse that was rummaged through in the main hall, the eunuch's eyes showed grief, several guards asked him to kneel, he didn't kneel, the guards kicked him in the leg, and the eunuch's whole body fell forward, and his body fell to the ground, but he didn't even say a word.

Several guards who were "very great and good-looking" saluted He Mullan with a smile, and then reported: "General, this eunuch has been caught."

He Mulan looked at the eunuch lying on the ground with a strange face, although she only glanced at it casually, but she was 100% sure that this person was a girl.

But so many people, including Tuoba Tao, who must have "read countless women", didn't see that this eunuch was a woman in disguise, and they really regarded her as an ordinary eunuch.

Is it true that people in ancient times were lame, or were they really simple?

He Mulan coughed, and opened his mouth in some surprise as the smiling expressions of several of the guards deepened.

I said...... What are you doing here?"

The Xianbei words of the person who came made the female eunuch raise her head in surprise, and when she saw that there were horses in the hall, her face suddenly turned pale, and she spit out a large string of Xiongnu words in a low voice.

Tuoba Tao touched his chin.

"General, this eunuch said that he was a eunuch in the palace of the four princesses, and he was ordered to take care of her brother's body."

He Mulan glanced at the messy corpses, and clearly showed a skeptical look of "that's how you take care of it".

When the eunuch saw his eyes, he immediately lowered his head, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid, and his shoulders shook.

"Du Shou, General Ben is tired, you can ask him for me."

He Mulan was frightened by the Xiongnu words, leaning on Yue Ying's body, pointing at the female eunuch.

"Yes!"

Tuoba Tao gave He Mullan a "you are really good" look and began to ask.

The eunuch didn't look up from beginning to end, what did she say when others asked, Tuoba Tao asked a lot in Xiongnu dialect, nodded, and said to Hemulan:

"He said that there is a way out of the palace after Wuying, and he can take us out of the palace, but he wants us to spare his life."

He Mullan was dumbfounded again.

Your Majesty, you've asked me to pretend to be a general.

But what do I mean by making this kind of decision? Or is it bad?

I don't have the skills to light up "heart-to-heart" with you!
