The Huxia soldiers on the tower of the city saw it really and saw that their group had entered the city. Immediately collected the drawbridge, closed the city gate, and shouted to arrest the emperor of Wei, and prepare to have a turtle in an urn.

Although Qiyun and Tuoba Tao knew that they had gone deep into the enemy camp and were in danger alone, they still chased the Xia soldiers who had captured Lu Ying all the way.

The soldiers guarding the city wall rushed down the city tower with halberds in their hands, mounted their horses one after another, and chased after Tuoba Tao and the others. When they saw that the Emperor of Wei had entered the Tongwan City, the blood on their bodies was surging, and they were very excited and excited, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service.

Three teams of men and horses, one in front and one behind, rode straight through the royal road. When the pedestrians saw this, they gave way one after another, for fear of being trampled by the galloping horses.

Gradually, the towering vermilion palace wall appeared in front of me. The huge palace gate, ajar, is like a black hole devouring life.

A few Xia soldiers held Lu Ying hostage and went straight to the palace. Seeing this situation, Qiyun and Tuoba Tao felt uneasy in their hearts, and looked at Hu Xia's pursuers behind them, holding halberds, and galloping horses to chase after them from behind. After hesitating for a moment, he still pursued into the palace.

Entering the palace, Qiyun and Tuoba Tao got closer and closer to the Xia soldiers holding Lu Ying hostage in front. Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Qi and others bent their bows and arrows, shot Xia Bing, and saved Lu Ying. I saw that she was disheveled, her face was pale, and she seemed to be overly frightened. Seeing Qiyun, Lu Ying hugged her, and her words were incomplete, just crying bitterly.

From her intermittent words, Tuoba Tao and the others learned that Lu Ying came back from washing clothes by the river and was kidnapped by Xia Bing lurking in the grass. Lu Ying shouted loudly, and Qiyun, who was not far away, heard the voice, worried about her safety, and immediately chased after her. Unexpectedly, those Xia soldiers actually introduced them into the palace of Tongwan City.

After rescuing Lu Ying, Tuoba Tao and the others looked around and noticed that something was wrong. When the Praetorian Guards in the palace heard the news, they stepped forward to surround them.

Tuoba Tao and the others saw that they were caught in an encirclement, and although they knew that it was dangerous, they still responded calmly. They fought hard, and although many of the guards fell, they did not know how many Praetorian Guards were coming.

Everyone fought and retreated, and fought to the jade steps of a palace. Tuoba Tao and the others climbed the jade steps, condescendingly, and slashed and killed many guards. But seeing more and more guards surrounding him, Tuoba Tao was also anxious. Qiyun was even more anxious, for the sake of himself and Lu Ying, Tuoba Tao and his relatives were alone in danger.

When his life was hanging in the balance, at this time, the door of the palace slowly opened, and with a broken shout of "stop", a middle-aged beautiful woman walked out of it. When the Praetorian Guards saw her, they stopped fighting.

Tuoba Tao and the others turned around, only to see the middle-aged lady Yuhuan Feixian bun, wearing a scarlet gold five-phoenix dress, and seeing it, she knew that her identity was extraordinary.

A eunuch beside her stepped forward and shouted in a shriek: "The Empress Dowager has a will, please stop it." The generals misunderstood, the visitor was a guest, and he should turn the conflict into a jade silk and invite the guest to enter the palace to rest. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, it turned out that the person who came was the Empress Helian Bobo, and Helian Chang respected her Empress Dowager Liang. The soldiers of the Hu Xia Praetorian Guard will listen to the Empress Dowager Liang and ask them to stop, looking at each other with unwillingness. But Xia Guo's army has always been cruel, and he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, so he could only watch Tuoba Tao and others be invited into the palace by Empress Dowager Liang in a swaying manner.

After entering the palace, Empress Dowager Liang invited them to sit. Tuoba Tao clenched his fists and said heartily: "Queen Mother, today to save a friend, offended your land, thank you for not remembering your mistakes." After the Praetorian Guards dispersed, I left immediately, not daring to disturb the peace of the mother. ”

Mrs. Liang was calm, smiling slightly, and said in a harmonious voice: "The mourning family knows that the one who is coming to the cheap land is the emperor of Wei Tuoba Tao, and the mourning family is fortunate to meet the world-famous young son of heaven today, and it is a great honor." The mourning family drank the Praetorian Guards because they had something to ask for to the Lord of Wei. I also asked Lord Wei to come alone with the mourning family, drink a bowl of tea and leave. ”

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and shocked, and now the two armies are facing each other, and they are the two hostile sides to the death. Now the queen mother of one party invites the emperor of another country to tea. It's a strange sight. Qiyun and the others stepped forward to surround Tuoba Tao, and they were all very worried that Empress Dowager Liang was polite on the surface and hidden tricks.

Empress Dowager Liang seemed to see their worries, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the mourning family sincerely invites your majesty to discuss important matters." Think about it, if you stop him, will you be able to get out of this palace? The mourning family guarantees the safety of your majesty, as long as you talk about the work of a cup of tea. ”

Tuoba Tao secretly pondered the words of the Empress Dowager Liang and felt that there was some truth. He comforted his relatives and entourage, glanced at Qiyun deeply, hinting that she didn't have to worry about herself, and turned around and followed Empress Dowager Liang into the apse.

In the hall, Qiyun and Tuoba Qi and others sat on chairs on the surface, and the eunuchs served fragrant tea and stood aside.

They looked at each other, teacups in their hands, but they didn't know what to eat. I secretly miss Tuoba Tao in my heart. Qiyun was even more nervous because he had caused everyone to fall into the enemy camp. I don't know where I'm going next.

After a cup of tea, everyone saw Tuoba Tao and Empress Dowager Liang really appear from the palace. Seeing that Tuoba Tao was safe and sound, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Empress Dowager Liang waved her hand and motioned for several palace maids to step forward, and they held a few cloaks with snow hats in their hands, put them on the table, and then quietly retreated. The Empress Dowager Liang dismissed the eunuch, glanced at Tuoba Tao deeply, and turned around to leave.

There were only Tuoba Tao and other people left in the hall, and Tuoba Tao pointed to the cloak on a few and motioned for the generals to put them on. The generals saw that it was a woman's dress, and they hesitated for a while.

Tuoba Tao said in a deep voice: "If you want to live, put it on." We secretly sneaked out of Tongwan City, and that was the only way. With that, he took the lead in picking up the clothes on the desk and putting them on.

Everyone saw that his face didn't seem to be good, and they didn't dare to ask more about what he had discussed with Empress Dowager Liang. I only know that Lu Dao believes in him, and with the backbone, he will definitely be able to lead everyone out of the predicament.

They were all young generals, and their broad snow caps and cloaks concealed their muscular figures, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female at a rough glance.

Qiyun was a little surprised in her heart, not only did Empress Dowager Liang not embarrass them, but instead asked the palace maids to present women's clothes, suggesting that they should flee the palace. I don't know what kind of agreement was reached between her and Tuobatao. But seeing everyone in danger alone because of themselves, if they want to be able to escape from Tongwan and return to the barracks, everything else is secondary.

Tuoba Tao led everyone all the way. The Praetorian Guards seem to have been repelled by the Empress Dowager Liang, and no one was stopped on the way. It was easy to reach the west gate of the palace, which was quietly empty, and a few horses were placed there. Tuoba Tao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get on their horses and go all the way to the east gate of the city.

When they arrived at the east gate, although they were dressed in women's clothes to serve in the court, they did not have a token to leave the city, and the guards guarding the gate did not let them go.

Qiyun suddenly remembered that today is the winter solstice, and in the place where the monument is erected in Tongwan City, many people will burn paper clothes under the city wall on this day to pay tribute to their relatives who unfortunately died. So, she led the people to the city wall, and sure enough, there were few guards. At the base of that wall, the people burned more paper clothes, and the Xia army was unlucky and weakly guarded.

The city wall was tall, and Tuoba Tao and the others quietly waited for the guards to change their guards and guard the weakest opportunity. They untied their cloaks, tied them into ropes, tied them to iron lances, and hung down to the base of the outer wall. Tuoba Tao put down Qiyun and Lu Ying first, and after breaking it himself, he let the generals go down the wall one by one.

When Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Qi successfully slid down the city tower, they looked back at the tall and majestic Tongwan City. More than a dozen of them were in danger alone, but now they escaped smoothly, and they all felt very happy, but they didn't see joy on Tuoba Tao's face, but frowned slightly, as if they had something on their minds.
