Chapter 161: Escape
After Yu Liyan finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Nan was still staring at the west, and he didn't dare to shout at him, he stretched out his hand and put it on Zhou Nan's arm, to shake Zhou Nan's arm, and suddenly felt sticky and wet, and was about to shake Zhou Nan's arm, Zhou Nan suddenly withdrew his arm, Yu Liyan was stunned, didn't think much about it, and saw Zhou Nan looking at himself, so he said what he just said again.
Zhou Nan couldn't help but say: "The palace is heavily guarded, and the terrain is narrow, isn't it easy to find it in the north?" ”
Yu Liyan sighed and said, "In the past, when I was in Yanjing with my father, I mostly lived in the palace, and the situation inside was naturally clear. Although the guards are strict, but it is only around the critical palace, I will go down from here, along the city wall to the south, to Yaochi Lake, and then to the southwest corner of the city wall, where there is a temple on the city wall, called Qingliang Palace, which is the place where the father and the emperor often go to enjoy the coolness, usually locked, and there are very few people. Qingliang Hall and the Yanjiao Tower in the northeast corner of the Imperial City, looking at each other from afar, are the two highest places in Yanjing City, go upstairs, the scenery is very beautiful. ”
In the end, it was not like pointing out the escape route to Zhou Nan, but it was like telling Zhou Nan about his memories here before.
Zhou Nan couldn't bear to interrupt Yu Liyan's thoughts suddenly, so he said to Gao Yuan, who had just come up: "Big brother, let this sister lead the way, and we will pass through the palace and escape from the Qingliang Palace." After speaking, he pointed to the silver bottle standing next to him.
Gao Yuan has always obeyed Zhou Nan's words, and he also knows that the west city wall can't get through no matter what, so he asked Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao to find a protruding wall buttress to fix the rope first, and asked the silver bottle, which happens to be the inner orchard in the palace, which is unattended at night. Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked the two of them to go down the rope first, and then tie the silver bottle down with the rope.
Yinhua had already heard what the princess said to Zhou Nan on the side, she was walking back and forth in the palace, and she was more familiar with it than the princess, so she was even more relaxed about leading the way.
When Zhou Nan, Yu Liyan and others came down from the city wall, they were led by Yinzhu and Gao Yuan, and went from the inner orchard to the Yaochi Lake in the south.
"Han commanded the troops, and Yongpingfang found two horses." A cavalryman saw the cavalry of the brigade in front coming along the street, and it was Han Zhongcai, the commander of the dead horse army patrolling the city, who was busy reporting it.
"Two horses? Where is it? Han Zhongcai already knew that his subordinates were deflated in the Minzhong Temple, and he expected that it was just a method of thieves attacking the west, so he ordered people to search for them in the west. At this time, I heard a report from my subordinates, saying that two horses were found, it seems that this group of thieves is indeed coming to Xicheng, don't they want to escape from Xicheng?
"Not far to the west of the Skylight Inn, the hooves of the two horses are wrapped in cloth." The cavalryman said in detail.
"Order, the city wall is strictly guarded, and no thieves are allowed to cross the city. Inform the palace guard Lord Yelu that thieves are very likely to enter the palace, and must be strictly guarded against. ”
"Yes!" The soldiers around him immediately slapped their horses and left.
Sure enough, there was no figure in half of the way, Zhou Nan felt a lot more relaxed, but Yu Liyan didn't talk about it just now, Zhou Nan walked along the way, only to see all kinds of low fruit trees on both sides, and there were still green fruits on them, and there was no flower and tree, so he asked Yu Liyan who was walking side by side, Yu Liyan seemed to be surprised by his question, or replied: "The palace has always been like this, planting some fruit trees, but also to let the subjects pay attention to the meaning of agriculture and mulberry, flowers, trees, water and plants are beautiful, but not as good as Chunhua and Autumn are real to the people." ”
Zhou Nan couldn't help but nodded, this Da Liao is really "imperial style and simple", but when it comes to Yu Liyan's father, he doesn't pay much attention to these, otherwise he wouldn't have buried a good Da Liaobei in an instant.
Yu Liyan stroked the fruit trees passing by as he walked, as if he was visiting a garden, and gradually fell behind with Zhou Nan. Fortunately, the group still had to observe the movement ahead, and they didn't walk fast, so they didn't get left behind.
This orchard is really not small, and it took a long time to walk out of it. Out of the garden, only to feel a light in front of the eyes, it turned out that it was not a light, but a lake water, a group of people did not dare to walk along the west side of the lake, the west shore of the lake is to the west gate of the palace extended to the past, close to the west city wall, there are guards guarding the west gate of the palace, so the silver bottle had to take this group along the east bank of the lake.
Yu Liyan pointed to the lake and said to Zhou Nan beside him: "This lake is called Yaochi, and I often come here to enjoy a cool rest in summer. I didn't come last year, and my mother was depressed every day......"
Yu Liyan said as she walked, casually, and when she thought of something, she said it casually, Zhou Nan knew that she was mostly relieved of her stuffiness in her chest, and she didn't interject, just listened to her on the side.
It's also wonderful to think about it, it was originally my own garden, but now I can only sneak over in the middle of the night like a thief. Whoever it is replaced will have something on mind.
After passing the waterfront hall on the east side of the lakeshore, you are already almost at the southwest corner of the palace. This waterfront hall must also be the emperor's place to cool off the heat, although the name is the waterfront hall, but it is composed of many buildings and pavilions connected by the water curved threshold. It's just that now it's empty inside, and it seems that this time I was able to escape, but it was because the princess was familiar with the palace and knew all the guards and palace maids well, so that she could come all the way from north to south without hindrance.
Gao Yuan and others in front have come to the southwest corner of the palace wall, there is really a three-story high-rise building on the palace wall, the eaves of the high-rise building are like wings, the bucket arch is thick, although it is in the dark, you can't see the details clearly, you can feel the grand and bold momentum of this cool palace.
Knowing that there would be no one on duty near the left side of this cool hall, Zuo Xiaosi took out a piece of rope, tied an iron claw at one end of the rope, threw it, saw that it was hooked, and dragged it again. Gao Shouxiao saw Zuo Xiaosi turn into the city wall, and also learned Zuo Xiaosi to hold the rope and climb up. It's just that Gao Shouxiao can't climb two feet and has no strength, and the left Xiaosi above has to work hard to pull Gao Shouxiao up and toss it up.
Both of them gasped tiredly on it, and then threw the rope down again. This time, Gao Yuan was pulled up first, and then Gao Shouzhong. After these two people went up, Gao Shouxiao and Zuo Xiaosi quickly entered the Qingliang Palace, took out the bows and arrows on their backs, and stood on the east and north sides of the Qingliang Palace, paying attention to the movements of the defenders on the south and west walls.
Suddenly, Zuo Xiaosi found that the lights on the west wall of the palace were much brighter than before, and there were many more people. The lights in the palace are also lit up in several places.
"Brother Gao, hurry, the officers and soldiers are chasing after you!" Zuo Xiaosi ran to the door of the Qingliang Palace, and hurriedly whispered to Gao Yuan, who was dragging people up.
Gao Yuan also saw it on the city wall, and the lights lit up in various places in the palace had already begun to move. And they were dragging the princess upward.
