Hearing the shouts of the broken city at the south gate, Song Zheng's face changed.

"Concubine Wei, the south gate of the inner city has been breached, go quickly! The rebels will be here soon! Song Zheng had already planned it, and while no one had noticed Qionglinyuan, he hurriedly got Wanyan Yusheng's mother to the covered bridge and accompanied Wanyan Zhangshou.

The three ladies did not have Song Zheng's good ear power, but they were still shocked after hearing the words, and the youngest and most beautiful Concubine Li hid behind Concubine Wei and shivered. Concubine Ming had a cold face, and took down a porcelain bottle from the shelf next to her, a desperate shelf. Only Concubine Wei was quite calm, but her face turned a little pale.

"Concubine Wei, hurry, we're going to get out of here!"

Concubine Ming also urged, "Sister, you go first, that brute from Wanyan Yudu will definitely hold you and blackmail Yusheng!" ”

Concubine Wei said, "Sister Ming, at this time, how can I escape alone!" Die a piece of death! Don't worry, I am not ambiguous in front of the big festival! Besides, if I hold you, Yuhui won't be able to do anything! ”

"Sister, you ......" Concubine Ming had an anxious look on her face.

When Song Zheng heard this, the woman who threw the porcelain turned out to be Wanyan Yuhui's mother, and she knew that she couldn't leave this one behind. As for the other Concubine Li, looking at her posture, she must be with Concubine Dingwei.

"Three mothers, this is not the time to argue." Song Zheng said hurriedly, "Do you know that there is a secret room or something like hiding here?" ”

Concubine Wei calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "There is no secret room, but there is an ice room where ice cubes are stored, which is located underground. ”

Ice room? Song Zheng understood. In the winter, ice cubes are often cut and stored in the ice room for summer cooling. Since the ice does not melt, the ice house is built underground. It is surrounded by boulders and separated by wooden planks. There are two more doors outside to ensure a low temperature inside.

"Where's the Ice Room?"

"It's in the northwest corner of Qionglin Garden, but at this time, it should be locked there, and the key is in the hands of the inner servant! We can't get in! ”

"I have a way, Niang Niang quickly lead the way!" Song Zheng said that he would step forward to help.

Concubine Wei waved her hand, got up and walked out the door.

Concubine Ming threw the porcelain vase and followed closely. Only the young Concubine Li, who was frightened and frightened for a while, had already weakened her legs and feet, and fell to the ground after just taking two steps.

Concubine Wei and Concubine Ming hurriedly turned around and were about to help, but Song Zheng cut a palm on Concubine Li's neck and knocked her unconscious.

"You ......" Concubine Wei thought that Song Zheng was going to leave Concubine Li, and her face couldn't help but change. Song Zheng grabbed Concubine Li's two arms, carried them on her back, and urged, "It's just a temporary fainting, Niangniang go quickly!" ”

Concubine Wei glanced at Song Zheng and hurriedly walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the back door of the front room and came to the courtyard, Song Zheng heard the footsteps of many people coming from the back of Qionglin Garden, and one person was still shouting, "Servant Sanke, Allah, hurry, get those three concubines out!" ”

"Go this way!" Concubine Ming turned to the west. Song Zheng and Concubine Wei followed, passing through the arch on the west side and coming to another courtyard. Follow a long corridor against the wall to the north for a row of houses.

Along the way, from time to time, I met eunuchs who were beheaded, and occasionally palace maids. It's all flesh and blood. Concubine Ming was better, but Concubine Wei stopped and called "Chun'er" to the corpse of a palace maid, with a sad look on her face. This palace maid was stabbed in the lower body, and her neck was cut in half, and she had been dead for a long time. Her death was so tragic that Concubine Wei stretched her neck and covered her mouth with her hands, almost vomiting.

Song Zheng said in a low voice, "Niangniang, the Fourth Highness and the Sixth Highness will avenge them, follow quickly!" ”

Concubine Wei nodded, and then followed Concubine Ming forward.

A few people walked through the house again, and finally came to the northwest corner of Qionglin Garden. There is a separate hut built against a hill. The door was open, and it was dark inside. There was also an unextinguished lantern thrown at the door, and next to it was the corpse of a small eunuch. The rebels apparently searched the place, leaving traces.

"This is it!" Concubine Ming in front picked up the lantern, and the group walked into the house.

On the north side of the house, there is a small door that is only one person high. The door was made of wood, with two copper noses on it, an iron chain wrapped around it, and a large lock fastened the ends of the chain. On both sides of the door are cotton curtains that are retracted, which are used for thermal insulation.

At this moment, I heard someone shouting in front of Qionglin Garden, "The servant is dead, all dead, quickly, find out the three women!" Immediately after, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard! Others are approaching this side.

Song Zheng held Concubine Li's buttocks behind him with his left hand, pulled out the fish intestine sword from his calf with his right hand, stepped forward quickly, and slashed at the chain with great force.

When there were two sounds, the chain was broken.

Song Zheng quickly returned the sword into the sheath, and pulled out the chain with the lock, "Come in!" ”

Concubine Ming and Concubine Wei stepped forward together and pushed the wooden door open.

Song Zheng was the first to enter. Behind the door was a black, rumbling passageway, arched and about four feet wide. The passage is diagonally downward, and the floor is a step. Song Zheng walked down a few steps, stopped, and put Concubine Li down. Concubine Wei and Concubine Ming also entered the passage and struggled to close the door.

"Concubine Wei carries a lantern in front of her! Concubine Ming carried her on her back! Go down first! Song Zheng hurriedly commanded.

Although Concubine Ming is older, her health is better than that of Concubine Wei. Song Zheng was no longer polite and immediately made arrangements.

At this time, neither of them paid attention to Song Zheng's tone, and immediately made adjustments according to what Song Zheng said. Concubine Wei carried the lantern in front, and Concubine Ming followed closely behind with Concubine Li on her back.

After walking a few steps, the two of them stood up at the same time and looked back at Song Zheng.

Song Zheng waved to them urgently, and then came to the back of the door. There are no bolts behind the door, and only the mullions on both sides are used as sinew, which are four inches wide, and the protruding part is more than three inches.

With the faint light from the lantern, Song Zheng drilled the two mullions with a fish intestine sword. Soon, a hole was punched in the mullions on both sides. Song Zheng measured it and threaded the chain into it. Fortunately, the chain was long enough for Song Zheng to tie the two ends of the chain.

Just after finishing his work, Song Zheng heard someone walking towards the hut. "Damn, where did you go!" The people outside cursed and soon arrived at the hut.

Song Zheng turned around, looked down, and saw that Concubine Wei was about to walk to the bottom of the passage. Looking down along the light, the entire passage is twenty zhang long, and the ice chamber at the bottom of the passage should also be six or seven zhang underground. At the ice room, there is another door, but this door is not locked. Obviously, this is not a very important place, and there is no need to re-establish the mechanism.

Due to the humid air in the passage and the slippery ground, Concubine Ming and Concubine Wei were cautious and tentatively walked down, and soon arrived at the door of the ice room. Concubine Wei was about to push the door, when she suddenly heard the sound of chains from above, and then a voice sounded, "Hey, why can't this door be pushed?" ”

Fortunately, the door is well closed, and the two doors are staggered, otherwise, you would definitely be able to find the lights in the passage. You know, in such a dark place, even a little light will attract the attention of the rebels.

Even so, Song Zheng was still so anxious that he was sweating, and he repeatedly made a mouth gesture to Concubine Wei below, asking her to put out the lights first. It's a pity that both of them stood there waiting, and Concubine Wei still held the lantern high and looked up.

"Damn, what a broken door! So heavy! The people outside were still unwilling, and slammed the door twice. However, the door panel is more than a foot thick, how can an ordinary steel knife cut it. The people outside scolded twice and turned to leave.

Hearing the people outside walking away, Song Zheng hurriedly descended and came to the bottom of the ice room angrily. Lowered his voice and roared, "Why don't you turn off the lights?" What should people outside do if they see the light through the door? Do you want to die? ”

Concubine Wei was startled and almost threw away the lantern in her hand.

"What are you yelling at?" Concubine Ming said angrily, "The road is so slippery, and the passage is so dark, my sister is afraid that you will fall when you come down." If I hadn't stopped me, my sister would have gone up to pick you up! Besides, how can we think about it so much! ”

Concubine Wei hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Blame me for this, blame me!" ”

Song Zheng looked embarrassed, this Concubine Wei is very good-hearted. Although he saved them, but after all, they are mothers, and no matter how anxious they are, they can't be angry with others!

Concubine Ming saw that Song Zheng's face was ashamed, she glanced at Song Zheng, and said in a stiff tone, "You actually yelled at your sister, you are not small." However, you knocked Concubine Li unconscious, you are considered a smart person, otherwise, she would definitely have to scream again just now. ”

Song Zheng secretly screamed ashamed, this Concubine Li was a timid and fearful person at first glance. knocked her unconscious, just so that she wouldn't writhe around her back.

"Come on in! Maybe the thieves will come again in a while! Concubine Wei said.

Concubine Ming put Concubine Li down, Concubine Wei also put the lantern on the ground, and the three of them pushed the door together. This wooden door is heavier than the one above, and Song Zheng on the side, Concubine Wei and Concubine Li, on the other hand, worked together to slowly open the door. As soon as I opened the door, a chill hit my face.

Song Zheng shuddered, and when he looked at the two of them again, he couldn't help hugging his shoulders and gasping.

Picking up Concubine Li, Song Zheng walked in, and the four of them came to the ice room.

The ice room is not big, only ten zhang square, there are nine rows of wooden shelves in it, and on the wooden shelves near the left side, there are more than ten ice bricks with a thickness of more than ten feet, which should not be used up in summer.

A few people closed the door first, and then came to the right side of the ice room, away from the ice bricks. Song Zheng put Concubine Li down, and Concubine Ming helped her, and took the lantern and hung it on the wooden frame.

"A few mothers, it's too cold in here, you wait a while!" Song Zheng said, pulled out the fish intestine sword, and began to dismantle the wooden frame. Soon, the wooden frame was dismantled and turned into planks.

Song Zheng first laid several layers on the ground, and then separated two layers on the wall, and placed Concubine Li on the wooden board, leaning against the wall. He went to the other side and boarded the ice bricks to limit the cold from emitting air.

As soon as he finished his work, he heard a voice from above, "Knock the door open and see if they're here!" Damn, I've searched all over the place, but I can't find them! ”

Song Zheng was shocked, and hurriedly raised his sword, cut a long wooden board in half, folded it in half, and then tore off his clothes, tied it up, and became a thick wooden stick. He measured it behind the door, and dug a small pit with his sword five feet away from the wood. I dug hard at the door a few more times, and I also made a concave. Thick sticks were placed between the two pits.

Above the passage, the impact is endless. Finally, there was a squeak, followed by a bang. The mullions were broken, and the chains attached to them fell down.

At this time, Song Zheng had just made two thick wooden sticks and stubbornly resisted the two doors. (Brothers, the old man asks for flowers!) ）~
