Chapter 468: Escape
There was a fork in front, and Rong Yuan remembered that there was a fairly intact house at the fork, where there was a mezzanine, embedded in the wall and very hidden, and it was impossible to find it ordinarily. There used to be a squire who was hit in the head by a tile thrown from a beam during the earthquake and died.
After turning the corner, Rong Yuan couldn't help but put Ling Ruo on his back, and then ran towards the house with all his last strength. Ling Ruo had blood on her feet, if she was allowed to walk over like this, she would inevitably be discovered by that person.
"I can go on my own." Ling Ruo lay on Rong Yuan's back and said, although her feet were hot and painful, she knew that Rong Yuan would never be much better than her.
"Don't make a sound!" Rong Yuan scolded lightly, narrowly closed the door before catching up, and then ran non-stop to open the door of the backyard, creating the illusion of escaping from the backyard, and then went to the door of the secret room in his memory, until he entered the secret room, he let out a sigh of relief and carefully placed Ling Ruo on the ground.
"Don't worry, he doesn't know that there is a secret room here, he will only think that we escaped through the back door." Shicai has been running and still doesn't feel anything, but now when he relaxes, he only feels sore, and he can't wait to lie on the ground and sleep well.
There is no light in the secret room, but there is a night pearl embedded in the top, and the soft light in the darkness makes the two of them not unable to see.
Not long after the door of the secret room was closed, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside, and he lingered in this room for a long time before leaving, thinking that he didn't find it here to chase Rong Yuan and the two of them elsewhere.
After the footsteps were far away, the two people who had been holding their breath and paying attention to the sound outside slowly put down their hearts that were hanging in the air, and they were finally safe for the time being.
"Let's stay here for a while, and then we'll get out when those people are gone." Although his life was saved temporarily, Rong Yuan's mood was extremely heavy, and when they came out of the secret room, there would definitely not be a living person in this Tongzhou City.
The decision of the imperial court is too bloody and cruel, no matter what, it is hundreds of lives after all, and if you say kill, you will kill it, and there is no room at all.
Besides, Yin Zhen obviously knew about Ling Ruo's affairs here, why didn't he tell those sergeants that he knew, but allowed them to come here and kill indiscriminately, could it be that Yin Zhen even wanted to kill Ling Ruo at all?
If this is the case, what should Ling Ruo's heart feel like......
Rong Yuan sighed in her heart, this must have been thought of by Ling Ruo, so she didn't say a word after entering the secret room.
"Let me see your feet." He took off Ling Ruo's blood-soaked Luo socks, only to see that the delicate feet had been scratched a lot, not to mention, there were many gravel embedded in the soles of the feet, and the right foot was swollen and tall, fortunately, there was no problem with the foot bones, it should just be a sprain, every step of such feet was painful to think about, and I don't know how she endured it just now.
There is no medicine to treat the wound at the moment, not even water, Rong Yuan can only remove the gravel from her wound, and then tear the hem of her clothes to wrap the wound for her, "Now it can only be like this, wait until the hair is gone, and then find a way to deal with it." After glancing at Ling Ruo, who had not spoken, he sighed, "You really shouldn't have come here. ”
Ling Ruo raised her head, her lower lip was bitten white by her, and after a while, she said astringently: "If you don't come, I won't know that he is so ruthless." ”
Even though he was suspicious of her, but she was a nineteen-year-old husband and wife, and she didn't care about her life at all, and she didn't think about it at all, could it be that the gentle affection she once had was all an illusion?
Rong Yuan had the heart to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only be silent. Although the secret room is safe, there is no food and water, so it doesn't matter if you avoid it once in a while, you have to starve to death if you stay for a long time.
Therefore, after recovering some strength for most of the day, Rong Yuan thought that the people outside should also leave, so he and Ling Ruo cautiously came out of the secret room.
There is no day and night in the secret room, and after coming out, he knows that it is already night, I don't know if this is true or psychological, Rong Yuan always feels that the air is filled with a lingering bloody gas.
In the distance, there was the cry of a night owl, which was particularly poignant in this dark night, although Ling Ruo's right foot did not hurt the bone, but it was also very serious, and if she continued to run, this foot was likely to be wasted, so Rong Yuan carried her and quietly walked to the backyard. It's so quiet here, presumably those sergeants have already left after killing people, as long as they escape from Tongzhou City, there is hope for them to live.
There is no starry light and moon in the dark night sky, and there is no trace of fire in the huge Tongzhou City, which has completely become a dead city, with corpses and bloody stomachs, which is everything here.
Rong Yuan touched the back door with the route in his impression, it was very strange, the door was closed, could it be that the people who chased and killed them closed it easily?
Rong Yuan felt that something was wrong, but before he could figure it out, he just opened the back door and found that a little spark suddenly lit up in front of him, and then the firelight was flourishing, and the dazzling light made Rong Yuan and Ling Ruo lying on his back subconsciously close their eyes, and only after getting used to the light that stood out from it did they find that several torches were lit in front of them, and the light was emitted from these torches, and several figures could be faintly seen standing behind the firelight, because they were standing in a backlight, they couldn't see it
"The boss is right, the dog man and woman are hiding in the house, hurry, go and invite the boss over!" Hearing this voice, Rong Yuan secretly said that it was not good, this was clearly the group of sergeants during the day, they didn't leave, and they were still waiting for themselves here.
As soon as Rong Yuan took a step back, two people immediately blocked his retreat, and after a stalemate for a while, the group walked over, and the leader was the Scar General, who rode over on horseback, it was the one that Ling Ruo rode before.
He spit out the reed pole in his mouth and jumped off the horse with a "phew", the scar on his face was particularly hideous under the jumping firelight, "With the two of you also trying to escape from my palm, it's really wishful thinking!" ”
Rong Yuan and Ling Ruojun secretly complained in their hearts, this time they were surrounded by so many people, but there was no way for them to escape, what should they do? What to do?
"Boss, what nonsense are you talking to them, just kill them directly." One of the men who came with General Scar drew his sword and shouted. It's strange that they don't call General Scar a general when they face him, but instead take a boss.
General Scar was not moved by his words, but ordered everyone to retreat a few feet, and only after the three of them were left nearby, he sneered and pulled out the blood-stained steel knife on his waist, "Okay, after playing for so long, it's time to end this." ”
"You can't kill her, she is indeed Concubine Xi in the palace." Rong Yuan stared nervously at the deadly knife.
"I know it." General Scar's answer was beyond Rong Yuan's expectations, he still didn't believe it when he heard this before, but now he actually said that he knew what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?
