Chapter 320: Finding the Secret Passage
This is also the first time that Zhao Rui has used the power of the Dao Fu to kill the enemy, and the bullet is to be used to rush out of the city gate later.
At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Rui is a killing god, and where he passed, the soldiers of the Yuan army fell down as if they were cutting wheat.
Although everyone had the advantage, they also lost 100 people, but the casualties of the Yuan army were more than ten times.
But Zhao Rui was not happy at all, not good, it should be the sound of gunfire that made the Yuan army of Kaifeng Mansion pay great attention to it, this is a nest dispatch!
These more than 3,000 people, if they can't break through the siege and get out of the city, then with the continuous consumption of the Yuan army, everyone is dead, so isn't it in vain that I came to this trip, is it just to send people to death?
It's a thunderbolt talisman again, and it's a fire talisman again, but the Yuan army is like an inexhaustible locust, which makes Zhao Rui frown.
At this time, with the increase of the Yuan army, the pressure also doubled, but Zhao Rui opened the way in front, so it could be regarded as a relatively rapid advance.
Hold on!
Zhao Rui is insisting, and the White Lotus Society is also insisting, and finally it is approaching the West City Gate, and the surrounding Yuan army does not seem to be increasing, and hope is just around the corner.
Hey, why is the city gate brightly lit?
Zhao Rui just killed a Tartar, jumped to the roof of the house with his strength, looked at the city gate, and froze.
I saw that the west city gate was full of torches, and on the city wall, the city was full of Yuan troops under the root of the city, and the inner and outer three layers crowded the city gate to a point where it was impassable.
It's over, how do you get out of town?
Even the musket doesn't have enough bullets!
Or it's okay for Zhao Rui to go out by himself, but he still has to think about the people of the White Lotus Club in the back!
Zhao Rui took advantage of the decrease in his troops to call over Zhao Gong and Liu Xing and ordered them to lead people to retreat.
Unexpectedly, the city gate could not be broken through, Zhao Gong was better, Liu Xing was a little more panicked, you must know that their more than 3,000 people are really nothing in Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng is estimated to have about 80,000 swallowing soldiers, once they are surrounded by all their strength, they have absolutely no chance of survival.
"Lord Wang, it's okay to retreat, but where to retreat!"
Liu Xing asked eagerly, estimating that what happened in the White Lotus Society's station at this time was discovered by the Yuan army, and now they also know that it was the White Lotus Society's opposite.
If you're going back to where you came from, what's the difference between that and throwing yourself into a net.
Besides, now that the entire Kaifeng is Mongolian, how can there be any safe place to hide more than 3,000 people?
Zhao Gong also looked at Zhao Rui worriedly, since he followed Zhao Rui, it seems that there has never been such a situation of being trapped in a Jedi, and at present, it is a feeling that he can't advance and retreat!
Zhao Rui naturally had a clear understanding of the current situation, and after a little silence, he said: "I can only go to one place!" That's Earl's Court! β
"Huh?"
Zhao Gong and Liu Xing were stupid.
Why do you want to go to the Earl's Palace, these officers and soldiers are all dispatched by the Earl's Palace, what is the difference between going there and the Longtan Tiger's Den!
"Young master, you won't be the earl who wants to kidnap the Yuan Dynasty, right!" Zhao Gong felt that although this was a solution, it was not feasible, since the Yuan Dynasty had besieged Zhao Rui's strength, how could it care about an earl, if more troops were sent to come, even if they were hungry, they would starve to death!
Zhao Rui shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay, the kidnapping is probably useless, let's go, you will know when you get there, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place!" β
They really haven't heard of this theory, but now that the situation is in crisis, they can't take care of it, and Zhao Rui's decision also gives them a goal for the time being.
So everyone opened a bloody road and rushed out, but fortunately, there were not many Yuan troops encircled at this time, and after rushing out, Zhao Rui was under the cover of the back, but there was no Yuan army to follow.
Zhao Rui also hurried up to the team, and tried his best to move carefully in the direction of the Earl's Palace.
However, at this time, the entire city was full of shadows, all of them were Yuan Jun holding torches looking for traces of the White Lotus Society everywhere, while ordinary people were closed in their homes, and they didn't dare to look at it.
Perhaps it was really in response to Zhao Rui's words, when the people of the White Lotus Society were getting closer and closer to the Earl's Palace, there was really no patrol of the Yuan army.
It is estimated that they expected that the people of the White Lotus Society would definitely rush out of the city, so they sent additional troops to surround the city gates everywhere.
When he arrived at a side door of the Earl's Palace, Zhao Rui stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The keeper of the vigil answered: "Who, in the middle of the night!" Something to come back tomorrow! β
Zhao Rui had an idea, and said outside the door: "I went to do something for Steward Zheng, and he asked me to come to him whenever I came back." β
Yo, it turned out to be Steward Zheng's person, but this voice sounds unfamiliar.
At this time, Menzi had to reluctantly come out of the bed, put on his coat, and opened the door through a small crack to see who was coming.
But when the door opened, he couldn't close it again.
He only felt a strong force coming, and he was pushed back several steps by the door.
The door is a little blind, who is so bold as to dare to break into the Earl's Palace.
Just as he was about to shout, Zhao Rui's hand knife had already knocked on the back of his neck, and the man's eyes were white and fainted.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Rui whispered, and everyone followed him all the way inside.
At the same time, everyone's hearts also have a feeling of going deep into the tiger's den, but there is no possibility of breaking through outside, and it is much safer here.
But security is only temporary, and if you can't escape at night, then it's even worse during the day.
Zhao Rui is actually betting on luck.
He vaguely remembered that he had watched Bao Qingtian's serial drama before, saying that Emperor Tseringzong was trapped in the palace, and later Bao Zheng rescued the emperor through a secret passage.
Whether there is Zhao Rui in history has not been investigated, but it is very likely to use common sense.
At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty went through wars, and it couldn't be beaten, but fortunately, there was a lot of silver, and it was normal to dig a secret passage to escape or something, or this was originally an ancient capital, maybe it was excavated by the previous dynasty.
And this Earl's Palace was rebuilt with a part of the Imperial Palace, so if you find a secret passage here, then everyone will be able to get out of danger tonight!
If you can't find it?
Zhao Rui doesn't mind killing at all, although it is slower, but it is not enough to let his Dao power be exhausted, there may be any murderous evaluations at that time, Zhao Rui doesn't care at all, compared to these lives, the reputation is just a floating cloud.
But what's the matter with the black light, just worried, Zhao Rui suddenly remembered a person, wasn't Steward Zheng the head of the Earl's Mansion that day, maybe he could know.
Zhao Rui then ordered everyone to hide in the garden, anyway, no one came here in the middle of the night. In addition, Zhao Gong was instructed to bring Ma Yue over, so that the fabric store would not be suspicious, and Ma Yue would be in danger.
It's best to walk together.
Then Zhao Rui crossed several roofs, went to find two guards on duty, and neatly stuned one of them, and before he could speak, the other grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall.
The guard screamed badly when he saw his companion fall limply, and at the same time, the strength of the visitor also made him frightened.
How much strength does it take to lift yourself up with one hand?
"Don't shout, I'll ask you something."
Zhao Rui stared at the guard's eyes and said.
At this time, the guards couldn't care about anything else, the hands on his neck were as hard as pliers, and he was now panting hard, so he naturally had no intention of resisting.
Struggling to nod, Zhao Rui slightly loosened his strength and kept him steady on the ground.
"Where is Steward Zheng's room?"
Zhao Rui looked at the guard's eyes at this time, as long as there was any movement, he would definitely break his neck.
However, this guard was very wise, did not resist, and honestly pointed out the direction to Zhao Rui, and what he said was clear.
Zhao Rui knocked him unconscious with another hand knife and swept towards Steward Zheng's room.
Steward Zheng was in a bit unhappy today, and he couldn't sleep even more when he listened to the messy dispatch of troops outside in the first half of the night.
thought that as long as he did it with his heart, he might be appreciated by the earl, but something happened today that made his heart cold.
The matter is quite simple, that is, half of the earl's family is eleven or twelve years old, playing with himself, and he actually wants to get under his crotch by himself!
So Steward Zheng immediately explained the etiquette to be respected between people, it was such a small thing, the little cub went to tell the earl, who thought that the earl actually called himself over and reprimanded him, saying that the Song people were shorter than the Mongols, saying that his son was not wrong or something, and let himself pay attention to it in the future!
Watch out!
While Steward Zheng felt helpless, he also secretly laughed at himself for being too naΓ―ve, he was originally serving their family wholeheartedly, but in the end, he was just a pig and dog in their family.
Not long after changing his position, Steward Zheng suddenly heard a squeak on the other side of the door, and someone should have come in.
"Who!"
Steward Zheng asked in a deep voice and sat up from the bed alertly.
"Silence, it's me."
The voice is extremely calm, and it shouldn't be what a person who breaks into someone's house at night should have.
Hey, that's a familiar sound.
Steward Zheng thought it was an acquaintance, so he went to light the oil lamp first.
"How are you?"
Zhao Rui's appearance was impressive, so Steward Zheng recognized Zhao Rui at a glance as the shopkeeper of the fabric shop that day.
Zhao Rui didn't have the need to hide his identity at this time, anyway, he wanted to ask the location of the secret passage, if he didn't say it, he would just ask again.
But when Zhao Rui explained his identity, he didn't expect Steward Zheng to grunt down from the bed and kneel on the ground.
"Lord Wang, it's you! Previously, Zheng had no eyes, please atone for his sins! β
Zhao Rui didn't expect Steward Zheng to have such a positive reaction, so he helped him up with a smile.
"Well, I'm doing it secretly this time."
Then Zhao Rui asked about the secret passage, and said that there were more than 3,000 people in the garden who wanted to escape.
Asked this, Steward Zheng hesitated.
It is estimated that he is afraid that he will affect himself, Zhao Rui added: "Later, I will find a few corpses and change into ordinary clothes, and tomorrow you will say that it is a person from the White Lotus Society, who wants to break into the Earl's Palace, but was killed by someone." In this way, the Mongols must have appreciated you as well. β
Speaking of this, Steward Zheng practiced and smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, I was wrong, I really shouldn't be here from now on, these Tartars, and thinking about what to get promoted and make a fortune, alas, I'm really confused!" β
