Chapter 652: Retreat

With Liu Xie's order, a large number of guards flocked to the North Palace, and the important ministers from all sides also received the news, and the officials of the government offices below the third prince were also busy.

Under the rule of Zhang Liao in the past two years, the style of officials and the army is vigorous and resolute, which is also one of the reasons why Liu Xie did not dare to frame Zhang Liao and send people to kill Queen Fu, because Zhang Liao's prestige in Beijing is too high and the influence is too great, if he fabricates and frames Zhang Liao, if the news spreads, even if it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, I don't know how many officials and soldiers will go against the truth, so Liu Xie even concealed the news of Gu Caiying and Diao Chan, so the efficiency of arrest will be higher.

The first to enter the North Palace was the Yulin Army, and after Zhang Yang handed over the military power, Dong Cheng recommended Wu Shuo's younger brother Wu Kun to the Son of Heaven as the general of the Yulin Zhonglang to lead the Yulin Army.

Wu Kun's new official took office, this time he got the explanation of his brother Wu Shuo, and he wanted to stand up in front of his subordinates, and he spared no effort in the search for assassins, and gave an order to the Yulin Army.

Under their meticulous search, the soldiers finally found blood stains in the corridor, after Wu Kun got the news, it was like a chicken blood, and his spirit was greatly boosted, and he personally raised fire to search along the corridor, and sure enough, after a while, they found some blood stains, and they followed the bloodstains, and gradually arrived at the northwest corner of the North Palace, which is not far from the entrance of the Dragon Garden.

……

There is the Dragon Garden in the northwest of the North Palace, which is the imperial garden built in the imperial city when the Emperor Ling, and it is the old nest of the Emperor Lingdi who sold his official beard, and almost all the traces of the absurd half of the Emperor Lingdi were left here.

When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang for 200 miles, this place was also affected, and only the scorched earth remained. After Liu Xie returned to Luoyang, due to the difficult situation, the North Palace has not been repaired, especially the arrogant and lascivious place of Maolong Garden, which has never been touched, so that the wild grass in Maolong Garden is overgrown, and the vines surround the house.

At this time, in Maolong Garden, in a dilapidated house covered by grass and trees, Gu Caiying, Diao Chan, and a woman were medicating the unconscious Fushou.

Gu Caiying and Diao Chan wanted to get out of Luoyang in one go, but it was raining heavily, Fu Shou was seriously injured, and he couldn't toss, if it rained again and he had a fever, then I was afraid that he would be completely hopeless, and he could only temporarily return to the hidden Longyuan for the past few days.

The girls gave Fu Shou good medicine and finally stopped the bleeding for her, but Gu Caiying and Diao Chan looked quite solemn.

Although the first time they returned here, they sent people out to communicate with the shadows outside, but the guards of the palace reacted quickly and had already guarded the four gates, and the Dragon Garden was in the northwest corner of the imperial city, and the entrance and exit had to pass through the city gate.

And Fu Shou's situation is not optimistic, Liu Xie is not skilled in martial arts after all, although the sword has murderous intent, but it is not pierced in the heart, but Fu Shou has been ill for a long time, his body is weak, this wound has lost blood, and he urgently needs to recuperate, Gu Caiying They only carry healing medicine with them, and there is no medicine to nourish and replenish blood, so they can't stay here for a long time.

Diao Chan was going to go to the palace to steal medicine, but was stopped by Gu Caiying, one is that they are not doctors, and it is okay to use healing medicine, but if they are conditioned and nourished, it will not be possible.

The two Fushou currently have no fever and other symptoms, the most serious is the injury, even if there is a doctor, it is also the first to treat the injury, and the drug is not necessary for the time being.

The three are now full of guards in the palace, Gu Caiying can't let Diao Chan go on an adventure, once something happens, through the clues of stealing medicine, Liu Xie is likely to speculate that the queen is not dead, not to mention that Gu Caiying knows that in Zhang Liao's heart, the queen of Fu Shou must not be as important as Diao Chan's maidservant, she can't let Diao Chan go out of the pool, otherwise she can't explain to Zhang Liao.

At this time, Fluttershy, who had gone outside to inquire about the news, came back and said breathlessly, "Oh no, there are guards searching everywhere in the North Palace, and I'm afraid that I will soon find this side of the Dragon Garden." ”

Gu Caiying's expression became solemn: "Go out and have a look." ”

Diao Chan hurriedly said, "Master, I'm with you." ”

"No need, you take care of the queen." Gu Caiying's voice came, and her whole body had disappeared into the rain.

About two cups of tea, when Diao Chan and the girls were anxiously waiting, the white shadow flashed, Gu Caiying came back, the blade in his hand was dripping blood, and his face was still cold and murderous, and he threw three pieces of robes and helmets on the ground: "Fluttershy, one for the queen, one for you and Ah Luo." ”

Obviously, in these two tea kung fu, Gu Caiying has already killed several guards and snatched three sets of robes and helmets.

"Master," Fluttershy couldn't help but ask, "what about you and your sister?" ”

Gu Caiying glanced at Fu Shou, who was still unconscious, and said: "I can't wait for the rain to stop, the guards are already close to the Haolong Garden, and the concubine has just guided them elsewhere, but they will be found soon, and then the Maolong Yuan will be besieged by the tuantuan, and there is no way out." ”

As she spoke, she took two hats from the house, threw one to Diao Chan, and said, "Chan'er and Ji are going to open the way together, and it's inconvenient to wear a robe, and Fluttershy and Arrow are wearing a cloak and take turns carrying the queen, so we have to retreat immediately." ”

Diao Chan said: "Master, there is no news from the shadow outside the city. ”

Gu Caiying shook her head: "I can't wait for them, but the estimated time is almost the same, let's rush to the vicinity of the Shangxi Gate first, and once we hear the sound of battle, we will immediately break through." ”

"Yes."

The girls listened to Gu Caiying's words, and Fluttershy and Arrow hurriedly dressed Fu Shou in a coat and helmet, and then the two of them put on their hats, and Diao Chan and Gu Caiying tied up their hats and checked their long swords.

When they were ready, they set off.

Gu Caiying used to be a guard for Empress Lingsi, and she was even more familiar with the terrain of the palace than Liu Xie, and during this time, they were hiding in the Dragon Garden, and they had already prepared a back road.

The thunderstorm was still violent, and it was extremely difficult to walk, but it also provided them with the best cover, even if they were more than ten kilometers away, it was difficult for those guards to find them.

Gu Caiying is in front, Diao Chan is behind, and in the middle is Fluttershy carrying Fu Shou, who follows closely, and Fu Shou has been unconscious because he hits his forehead.

They walked along a barren and dilapidated corridor to the southwest corner of the Dragon Garden, where there was a hidden hole in the wall, near the upper west gate of the imperial city.

After walking a cup of tea, they faintly heard shouts coming from the east side of the Dragon Garden, and occasionally a bolt of lightning streaked through the sky, and they could see the flickering torches approaching the house where they had previously hidden.

Gu Caiying frowned, and secretly sighed that it was bad luck that those guards had found it so quickly.

They were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to clean up the traces, and once the guards approached the house, they could quickly find them, and the situation became more and more urgent, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

After a short time, they rushed to the vicinity of the hidden wall hole, Gu Caiying took the lead to investigate, there were no guards outside the wall hole for the time being, and they quickly passed through the wall hole.

Outside the wall hole is the gold market, which belongs to the imperial city, and outside the imperial palace, there are some houses nearby, and some officials of the government office live.

With Zhang Liao's care, Gu Caiying and the others have a shadow contact point here, which is close to the upper west gate, which is quite dangerous, but with a cup of tea, there are two groups of imperial city guards patrolling by.

Fortunately, there was a heavy rain cover, Gu Caiying found an opportunity, took a few girls quickly across the street, entered the Jinshi house, let the women rest in the house first, and she rushed to the vicinity of the West Gate to check the situation.

After coming back, Gu Caiying's expression became even more solemn, there were more than 100 guards stationed at the Shangxi Gate, and there were also guards patrolling nearby, it was difficult for the four of them plus the unconscious Fu Shou to break through.

And there were already guards pouring out of the hole in the wall, shouting loudly, but fortunately, the rainstorm washed away the traces of their coming out, and the guards couldn't find it for a while, but the danger was imminent.
