And under the city wall, there are two people, Zhou Nan and Hu Dugu. At this time, I saw that the lights in the distance in the palace were lit up, although there was no chaos outside the palace, it was because I didn't dare to alarm the emperor and Niangniang, if the guards were all activated, it would be much more dangerous than outside the palace.

Gao Yuan and Gao Shouzhong are all people who are good at strength in this family protection club, and it is not difficult to pull a few people up to the eight-zhang high city wall, but tonight they pulled two people up repeatedly, and the guards in the distance were about to come in this direction, but Zhou Nan was still below, and without Zuo Xiaosi's reminder, Gao Yuan and Gao Shouzhong were a little flustered.

Gao Yuan's arms were forced, and he lifted the princess up in a few strokes, and Yinping hurriedly helped the princess to the cool hall. Gao Yuan threw the rope down again, and shouted in a low voice: "Da Lang, hurry up!" ”

Zhou Nan saw the rope coming down, handed it to Hu Dugu, and said, "Leader Hu, please come up." Hu Dugu did not refuse, took it, tied it around his waist, and as soon as the rope was tightened, he climbed up with his hands and feet. Gao Yuan saw that it was Hu Dugu above, and he was helpless, so he had to try his best to drag it. After Hu Dugu knotted the rope, he threw it and began to pull Zhou Nan.

Gao Shouzhong saw that Zhou Nan had already tied it, snatched the rope from Gao Yuan's hand, did not speak, bent over, stepped on the edge of the city wall with one foot, stood in it with one foot, and began to drag Zhou Nan.

The guards in the palace seemed to have discovered something, and with torches and lanterns, they rushed here from the east of the palace, and Zhou Nan had already gone up four zhang high. Gao Yuanjian saw that the guards were about to rush here, and at that time, Zhou Nan was in mid-air, unobstructed, and the guards found that shooting with arrows was more than lucky.

Gao Yuan took off the longbow behind his back, ran more than ten zhang east along the city wall, leaned on the edge of the city wall, and shot an arrow at a guard below who was lighting torches and rushing towards Zhou Nan, and with a "whoosh", the guard fell to the ground.

"There are assassins!"

"Where did the patrolling men die?!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

Gao Yuan's arrow, although it alerted the guards, but also drew the attention of those guards, and suddenly the guards under the palace wall were in chaos, some ran back to protect the emperor, some shot arrows at Gao Yuan, and even couldn't wait for the guards who patrolled the city to come, and they wanted to climb the city wall to catch the assassin.

Gao Yuan looked back and saw that Zhou Nan was still more than a zhang away from the battlement of the city wall, and Gao Yuan hurriedly shot an arrow at the guards below. It can only delay time, and if you wait for the guards on the city wall to rush over, you can only retreat to the Qingliang Hall and continue to kill these guards.

In a few breaths, Zhou Nan kicked hard, and then Gao Shouzhong's strength had already jumped onto the city wall. Zhou Nan untied the rope and said to Gao Shouzhong: "I'll go and replace Fourth Brother Zuo, you will send Fourth Brother Zuo, Gao Shouxiao, and the princess down, and Brother Gao and I will guard in this building." ”

Listening to Zhou Nan's non-negotiable tone, Gao Shouzhong hurriedly went to the palace and took the princess and others, at this time Zuo Xiaosi also ran over, and the two of them found a lower battlement according to the guidance of the princess, Gao Shouxiao first tied the rope tightly, and then tied the rope to Zuo Xiaosi's waist and put Zuo Xiaosi down.

As soon as the rope was loosened, Gao Shouxiao tied the rope firmly on the princess and sent the princess down. It is much easier to send people down than to drag people up, and Gao Shouxiao quickly sent the princess, Yinping, and Hu Dugu down. At this time, Gao Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and when he touched his head, he was already sweating.

Looking back, the defenders on the western city wall have not noticed the abnormality here for the time being, and they only think that the guards in the palace are searching everywhere, so Zhou Nan has no pressure there. It's just that the high and far south of the city wall can no longer resist the increasing number of guards who have rushed from the east side of the wall.

"Big Brother Gao, come in!" Gao Shouzhong saw Gao Yuan's danger, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice.

Gao Yuan heard Gao Shouzhong call him in, hurriedly retreated to the Qingliang Palace, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else on the city wall, only the three of them, and was about to speak, Zhou Nan had already run over from the north at this time, and said to Gao Yuan and Gao Shouzhong: "You two go down first, and I will guard." ”

Gao Yuan saw the opportunity, shot down another guard from the window of the Qingliang Palace, and said, "Shouzhong, you go down first." Gao Shouzhong still had to excuse himself, and Zhou Nan said: "You go down and have a round with Fourth Brother Zuo, he knows how to do it." ”

Gao Shouzhong was helpless, so he had to say: "Be careful! So saying, he went to the edge of the city wall, and dragged the rope down.

Zhou Nan looked at Gao Yuan and said, "It's your turn!" When I went down, I tied the end of the rope to the other side of the river, and it was so strong that I had a way to get through. ”

Gao Yuan was just about to speak, but Zhou Nan said again: "After the eldest brother goes down, he will guard me from below, and I will go down." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "I know you have a lot of methods, you should be careful." After saying that, he shot a few arrows to the east one after another, and when this group of guards was pressed and did not dare to step forward, Gao Yuan ran to the rope and went down to the city.

Zhou Nan looked at his left arm, although the wound on it was pierced with the corner of his robe, but when he exerted force, blood would still ooze from below. The girdle that covered the wound was soaked with blood. The arrow he received when he sent Yu Liyan to the carriage outside the restaurant, fortunately, Gao Shouxiao handled it briefly for him in the carriage.

Standing in the Qingliang Palace, I can see very clearly, in the middle of the air in the east, there is already a trace of white, and the sky is about to dawn.

The guards who leaned over and hid on the east city wall, seeing that there was no movement here, began to bend down and walk slowly towards the Qingliang Palace, not far behind them, there was a group of cavalry troops who rode up from the road of the city wall, obviously the officers and soldiers patrolling the city had also received the information and rushed here on horseback.

Zhou Nan pulled out the arrow in the pot, but fortunately, his left arm was just stretched out to support the back of the bow, so he didn't get in the way, put the arrow on the string, and shot it towards the soldier in front. Even if you don't have to deliberately aim, the arrows shot out will hit nine times out of ten, at the critical moment, Zhou Nan didn't dare to be careless, although the Lianzhu arrows could only be sent out three at a time, it also somewhat hindered the advance of the guards on the opposite side.

After shooting a few arrows, Zhou Nan moved a little closer to the edge of the city wall to the south, and also changed his hiding spot from time to time, although he hid behind the window, some of the arrows shot by the guards entered through the window and passed close to his body.

The galloping cavalry quickly rushed behind the guards, these cavalry soldiers were wearing armor, which had an extra layer of protection than these guards, Zhou Nan secretly complained in his heart, and he had no intention of fighting, he just wanted to escape from the city as soon as possible, but he hadn't heard the movement under the city wall.

With a long "woo" sound, an arrow rushed up from under the city wall, and a sharp whistle sounded up and down the city wall.
