Chapter 186: Rescue from the Tiger's Mouth (4)
"The kitchen is on fire!" A Japanese ninja hiding in the courtyard was the first to spot the raging fire in the kitchen and quickly shouted.
The courtyard was immediately filled with more than a dozen Japanese ninjas hiding in various places.
"Don't panic, everybody. Let's make sure the hostages are safe first. Everyone split up to wake up the hostages in the three rooms and organize their evacuation through the northeast corner door. Be vigilant! Mieko Kato stood in the middle of the ninjas and commanded loudly.
The two princes and princesses Park and other courtiers who had been woken up from their sleep hurriedly dressed and walked towards the corner gate in the northeast corner of the Rikyokan amid the loud rebuke of the Japanese ninjas.
The Japanese soldiers who were patrolling outside the pavilion also discovered the fire at this time, and some of them rushed to help the ninjas organize the evacuation of the hostages, while others found various tools from the courtyard to put out the fire.
"Good. Let's get started! Seeing that everything was going according to plan, Fang Shan, who had been lying on the roof, immediately shouted and shot an arrow in his hand into the sky above the corner gate in the northeast of the Pavilion.
The resounding arrow pierced the night sky, flew towards the target with a piercing whistle, and exploded in the sky above the corner gate of the pavilion.
The sound of the arrow was an order to act towards the dozens of brocade guards who were lying in ambush nearby.
For a while, from all corners around the pavilion, dozens of Ming brocade guards who had been on standby for a long time rushed out. They galloped and slaughtered towards the corner gate of the Pavilion.
"There is a situation! Perimeter guard, ready to fight! Mieko Kato had just instructed the ninjas at the scene to move the hostages in the courtyard outside the corner gate, when she suddenly heard an explosion in the air, and then, she found that from all corners outside the corner of the corner gate, a large number of masked people wearing tight night clothes and diagonally holding embroidered spring knives quickly gathered. Mieko Kato immediately understood what was happening, and she shouted orders her men to surround the hostages in the middle and prepare for battle.
"Kill!" At this time, Fang Shan, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, and Li Ruzhu had also rushed to the scene, and the four of them were masked and held knives, killing each other.
The advantage in numbers and the full preparation in advance, Jinyiwei caught the other party off guard.
The defense line formed by the Japanese ninjas was instantly broken away.
"Prince, we are here to save you." Li Ruzhu, who rushed into the formation, came to Linhaijun, lit up the jade waist card in his hand in front of Linhaijun, and said loudly.
The panicked Lin Haijun recognized the waist card of his father Li held by the other party at a glance, and said excitedly: "Take me out!" ”
The well-trained brocade guards quickly surrounded the prince and the others in the middle, protecting them as they retreated into the alley to the northeast.
At this time, the soldiers of the Japanese State who were fighting the fire got the news and rushed over one after another to join the ranks of intercepting and killing the Jinyi Guard.
A fierce battle ensued in the small open space to the northeast of the Pavilion.
The brocade guards were protecting the hostages inside, and they were struggling to kill, and the entire formation slowly moved forward.
A Japanese soldier armed with a spear broke through the protective line of the Jinyi Guard and stabbed at Shunhejun. At the critical moment, the princess Park rushed forward and protected Shun Hejun with her body. The tip of the spear pierced Park's chest.
"Queen Mother!" Shun Hejun shouted, and hugged the princess Park who fell to him with both hands.
Seeing this, Ye Ruliu waved the deadly rose thorn in his hand and killed the Japanese soldier who stabbed the Park family to death.
Yin Hong's blood poured out of Park's chest, and she used her last strength to say in Shun Hejun's ear, "Protect yourself." ”
"Queen Mother!" Shun Hejun hugged the Park family, who had lost his breath, and cried.
"Let's go!" A brocade-clothed guard pulled Shunhejun violently, almost dragging Shunhejun's body away from the place and joining the evacuation team.
Shun Hejun could only watch as Park fell in a pool of blood.
Under the desperate struggle of Jinyiwei, the hostages finally entered the alley leading to the Taiyi Pavilion, and dozens of Japanese ninjas and a large number of Japanese soldiers followed closely behind, in a vain attempt to retrieve the hostages.
Seeing that it was difficult to quickly get rid of the enemy behind him, the square handle in the battle let out a loud whistle.
With the whistle of the square handle, on the high walls on both sides of the alley, twenty brocade guards armed with hard crossbows instantly appeared. They aimed at the Japanese who were following closely behind, and shot out the rockets that had been lit in their hands and were tied with explosives.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Rockets exploded in an instant among the enemy soldiers.
In the midst of the screams, a large number of Japanese people were killed and injured.
"Speed up!" Seeing that the Japanese people behind him were suppressed by the firepower of the Jinyi Guard, Shi Lang ordered loudly.
Once again, the bombed Wa people got up from the ground and prepared to rush into the alley. But they were greeted by another wave of rocket strikes.
Jinyiwei's powerful firepower trapped the Japanese people outside the alley, buying precious time for the evacuation of the hostages.
Outside the alley, more and more Japanese soldiers rushed to hear the news.
Seeing that the hostages had disappeared into the depths of the alley, the twenty brocade guards shot the last rocket in their hands one after another, and then disappeared into the vast night.
"Chase!" Mieko Kato, who was hiding behind a big tree, saw that there was no movement in the alley, and immediately ordered the dozen or so Japanese ninjas who were lying on the ground.
More than a dozen ninjas immediately held ninja long knives and chased after the swarming Japanese soldiers into the alley.
At this time, Fang Shan, Shi Lang and the others had already safely withdrawn to the door of the Taiyi Pavilion.
"Hurry in." Imperial Physician Huang was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Ruzhu and others escorting the two princes and five or six courtiers to the door, he hurriedly carried two horse lanterns and came out.
"Imperial Doctor Huang, I'm sorry for you." Li Ruzhu said politely.
"You're welcome. Here are two lamps, take them and hurry into the courtyard. Imperial Physician Huang said.
"Thank you". Uncle. Ye Ruliu took the two horse lanterns from Imperial Physician Huang and handed one of them to Shi Lang.
When everyone entered the Taiyi Pavilion, Taiyi Huang immediately bolted the door of the Taiyi Pavilion from the inside.
"Hurry up and lead the prince and them to the backyard to escape." Imperial Physician Huang tied the gate of the courtyard and shouted to the crowd in the courtyard.
"Imperial Doctor Huang, take care!" Li Ruzhu turned around and said gratefully.
"Go ahead!" Mrs. Huang waved her hand to the crowd.
came to the backyard, with the help of Fang Shan, Shi Lang and others, the two kings and their courtiers successfully went down to the sewage pipe.
"Cough, cough, cough......" The pungent smell in the cave made Shun and Jun cough violently, and his cold had not yet completely healed.
"Your Royal Highness, bear with me for a while. We will be able to get out of town soon. Li Ruzhu said to Shunhejun.
"Out of the way. Just stick with it. Shun Hejun said weakly.
"What the hell is this place? Smoke me to death! Lin Haijun covered his nose with his hands and said indignantly.
Ye Ruliu coldly glanced at the cold-blooded prince beside him who didn't care about his brother's illness and only knew how to blame and complain, and then took the lantern in his hand, quickly left Linhaijun's side, and ran forward.
Without the guidance of the lantern in Ye Ruliu's hand, Lin Haijun's eyes were dark, and he accidentally fell to the ground. When Lin Haijun got up in a panic, he found that his hands and face were covered with extremely smelly wet mud.
"Oops! It stinks! You can't walk in a different place! Lin Haijun was almost fainted by the smell of stinky mud, and his mouth kept complaining.
Hearing Lin Haijun following the team and complaining, a nameless anger suddenly rose in Fang Shan's heart. His men worked desperately all night, and the Korean prince not only did not say any words of thanks, but kept complaining and blaming.
Fang Handle forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and shouted impatiently to the crowd behind him: "The whole team speed up, if you fall behind and fall into the hands of the Japanese people, you will die!" ”
Fang Shan's words really worked on Lin Haijun, he stopped complaining, looked behind him in panic, dragged the stinky mud all over his body, and ran to the middle of the team.
Under the constant urging of the square handle, the whole team passed through the sewage pipe at a fast speed and came to the exit.
"Oh my god! Can you rest for a while before leaving? I'm exhausted! Lin Haijun, who climbed out of the mouth of the pipe, sat on the rocks outside the mouth of the cave and gasped for breath.
"No, I can't. The Japanese will soon catch up. Get up and keep going! Fang Shan, who was already on fire, saw Linhai-kun's nest-like bag, and walked to Linhai-kun's side angrily. Said angrily.
"Your Royal Highness, cross this river and you will be able to enter the mountains. When the time comes, we will find a safe place to rest. It's still very unsafe in this place. Li Ruzhu came over to persuade Linhaijun.
"If it weren't for you wretched, how would I have fallen into the hands of the Japanese people. It's so embarrassed and exhausted. Linhaijun saw from the dress of the square handle that the other party was a Daming brocade guard, and naturally did not dare to attack the other handle, he complained to several courtiers around him, and reluctantly got up from the spot and crossed the river with the team.
Several of the entourages who were complained about by Linhai-kun
The old Korean ministers bowed their heads one by one, and none of them dared to say a word, they knew very well the style of the prince next to them, and if someone picked up the stubble at this time, they would definitely attract a scolding.
Wading across the creek and continuing on, a small hill appeared in front of me. Everyone had just reached the bottom of the hillside, and they saw a procession of about 200 people rushing down from the hillside.
"General Li, we've been waiting for a long time." The leader in red armor in the team who rushed over came to Li Ruzhu and said.
"General Hui, come and meet the two princes." Li Ruzhu said to the other party.
"Hui Rufang, the general of the Kaesong garrison, paid a visit to the two princes. The villain's escort is late, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive his sins! Hui Rufang bowed to the two princes.
"Excuse me." Lin Haijun was depressed at this time, and when he saw Hui Rufang saluting, he said lazily.
Li Ruzhu introduced Fang Shan, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu to Hui Rufang. Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries.
"General Lee. The prince and the others have been rescued safely. It's time for us to withdraw to the city. Fang Shank said to Li Ruzhu.
Along the way, Fang Shant was tired of Lin Haijun's complaints. Now that the people have been safely handed over to the North Korean army, the mission has been completed, and he and his subordinates who participated in this operation can be regarded as benevolent.
"Then thank you Lord Fang for coming to the rescue!" Li Ruzhu bowed to the square handle and thanked him.
"You and I will take our leave." The square handle arched his hand to Li Ruzhu.
"Brother Fang, take care!"
"Lord Fang, take care!"
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu still had to go some distance with Li Ruzhu and them, and then rushed back to the Ming army camp in the North Oval Mountain.
"Brother Shi Lang, Miss Ye, let's say goodbye. Take care along the way! Fang Handle arched his hand at Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, and then led his men to leave quickly.
Shun Hejun bowed deeply to the departing Fang Handle and the others.
Linhaijun stood lazily in place, still holding a grudge against Fang Shan, who had spoken ill of him along the way, so he didn't express any gratitude when he watched Fang Shante and his men leave.
Mieko Kato led her subordinates to search the entire alley, but did not find the Joseon prince and others. Looking at the empty alley, she shouted orders to her subordinates: "Go, bring Acrus." ”
Acruz is a ninja dog kept in captivity by the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom, this dog has a strong sense of smell, and the Koga ninja in the capital city mainly uses it to search and hunt.
Soon, Acruz was led over.
Mieko Kato first asked her subordinates to lead Acrus to the pavilion to smell the clothes that the two princes didn't have time to take away, and then led it back to the alley.
With the help of Akruz, the Japanese people quickly searched for the front of the Imperial Doctor's Pavilion.
"Come and knock!" Watching Acruz keep banging on the wooden door of the Imperial Physician Pavilion with his two front paws, Mieko Kato ordered.
"Knock, knock, knock......" The heavy knock on the door kept shaking the panicked hearts of the surrounding residents in the dark night.
"Jump over the wall." Seeing that there was no reaction inside the gate, Mieko Kato ordered.
When the two ninjas received the order, they immediately jumped into the courtyard.
As the gate was opened by two ninjas, the Japanese ninjas and soldiers swarmed into the Tai Hospital.
"Who are you? How to trespass! Seeing the Japanese people breaking into the courtyard, Imperial Physician Huang walked out of the house tremblingly.
"Imperial Physician Huang. We found that there are Daming brocade guards entering your courtyard, if you know each other, hurry up and hand them over. Otherwise, your life! Mieko Kato said to Imperial Physician Huang.
"My Imperial Physician's Hall is a place to heal and save people, so there will be ...... What guards entered. The old man is sleeping, no, let you wake up. Imperial Physician Huang deliberately dealt with the other party slowly in order to buy more time for the prince and the others to escape.
"Old fellow. When death is on the verge of death, he is still messing around. Search for me! Mieko Kato apparently saw through Imperial Physician Huang's intentions, and she ordered.
Under the guidance of Acruz, the Wa quickly searched for the entrance to the sewer.
"It turns out that you still have a secret passage in this Imperial Doctor's Pavilion. Go down and hunt them all down. Mieko Kato didn't think that there was a passage leading directly to the outside of the city, she just thought that there was a secret room used for Tibetans underneath.
Just as the Japanese were about to enter the sewage outlet, Imperial Doctor Huang, who was standing at the scene, made an astonishing move.
