Chapter 113: The Guardian Divine Bird A Batch of Chickens
The chaos abruptly arose, and the main gate of the garden was in a mess, and Wu Ming, who had three arrows on his back, held the princess Cui of Shu hostage, and confronted the surrounding guards, and the other palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran away.
The limping princess helped up Agnès, who was covering her face, and when she saw blood flowing from between her fingers, she panicked: "Agnès, are you okay!" ”
"I... I—" Agnès covered his cheeks, seeing the blood running down his wrists, he felt dizzy, took the handkerchief handed by the princess, and covered the wound.
"Little Wu, take the two of her away immediately!!"
Wu Ming loudly ordered his subordinates Deng Wu beside him, the palace maid who was originally the princess of the daughter cart was paralyzed and could only rely on others to push the cart, Deng Wu heard the words and asked the princess to sit on the cart, and the princess of the daughter pressed Agnès to sit on the cart and push it herself.
Deng Wu held a fruit bowl as a small shield, holding a sharp knife to open the way in front, Wu Ming held Cui's back hostage, and a large number of guards surrounded him, but he didn't dare to get too close to Cui's safety.
Several archers on the wall in the corner of the garden saw Wu Ming holding the princess of Shu dangling around, unable to aim, and did not dare to release arrows.
Seeing that the princess of Shu was held hostage by thieves and retreated in the direction of Shanshui Pond, and there were guards at the entrance and exit of Shanshui Pond, there were many of them, and the forbidden army and guards at the main gate were so anxious that they shouted: "Catch the assassin", but something happened over there.
Pretending to be a eunuch, the members of the cat team who escorted Princess Xiyang and the prince of the world, saw that something was wrong with Wu Ming's side, pulled out his breath handcuff and pulled the trigger on the guards next to him, and instantly put these people down.
The accompanying palace maids and eunuchs didn't come back to their senses for a moment when they saw this, and their hands and feet trembled when they saw the blood splashing everywhere.
Yuwen Weicheng was stunned by this shock, and the frightened Wei Chi Chifan walked quickly with his son in his arms, and Cuiyun, whose face was like a blank paper, supported his mother forward.
The air-handed handgun is an assassination weapon, but the failure rate is high, five people pulled out the gun to shoot, and after shooting, two were broken, but the people around were either paralyzed in fright, or came back to their senses and ran away, and no one was in the way.
The five people were divided into two groups, three people opened the way in front, and two people guarded the door after breaking the back, so as to pick up Wu Ming and others behind.
The palace maids who were originally guarding near the pavilion were anxious, and when they saw someone coming, Queen Yi and the Son of Heaven also came, and they were about to step forward, but they saw that the three eunuchs in front of them were bloody.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way if you don't want to die! ”
Seeing that the eunuch who came from the rockery and said that he had something to tell the queen was so fierce and vicious, the palace maids were so frightened that they lost their faces and ran away in all directions.
The people in the way are gone, and in the mountain pool, three members of the cat team escorted the princess and the prince to run to the rockery, and behind the rockery, Wang Xin had been thrown on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, with rags stuffed in his mouth and his feet tied.
The guards of the Xiyang Palace, pretending to be eunuchs, are setting up ladders, the ladders are handed over from the other side of the wall, which is a special folding ladder, which is convenient for transportation in the tunnel, and there are three pairs of ladders at both ends of the wall for a total of six, which is to facilitate personnel to quickly climb over the wall.
Yu Chi Mingyue shrank aside with her arms folded, and looked at the wall in horror and turned over several fake eunuchs, and when the fake eunuchs were still on the wall, they couldn't help but look happy, and immediately saluted after jumping down:
"My subordinates have seen the king..."
A fake eunuch guarding Wei Chi Mingyue hurriedly corrected: "No, no, no, this is the fourth girl, the princess's sister." ”
"Huh?"
"Ahh
Yu Chi Mingyue watched a group of people pass in front of her like this, she really couldn't understand how the heavily guarded palace had become a bazaar, and others could come and leave as they wanted.
Just now, Wu Ming had already made the ins and outs clear to her, the palace guards sneaked into the palace this time to save the princess and the prince, since they happened to meet her, they asked her if she wanted to go together.
Yu Chi Mingyue didn't know how to answer, and remained silent, while Wang Xin, who was lying on the ground, kept struggling in vain, making a sound of "woo woo", trying to attract Yu Chi Mingyue's attention.
Of course, Yu Chi Mingyue noticed Wang Xin, but now there is no sweetness and longing for a happy life in her heart.
Just now it was a critical moment, Wang Xin actually left her and ran alone, Yu Chi Mingyue felt that if these people were really thieves with bad intentions, she was afraid that she would be taken away, and the end would never be good.
Yu Chi Mingyue, who was originally immersed in happiness, had already woken up from a sweet dream, because this man who had been talking sweetly to her all day long didn't care about her life or death at a critical moment.
What mountain alliance and sea oath, what looks like to guard, are all fake, all fake!
Thinking about it, Yu Chi Mingyue sobbed, and tears fell to the ground.
。。。。。。
In front of the entrance of the Shanshui Pool, Wu Ming held the princess of Shu Cui hostage and confronted the guards, and he personally broke the back, buying time for his subordinates to escort the princess, the prince and the princess over the wall.
Several of the subordinates who rushed to reinforce took out folding shields to block the front as cover, and they were still more than ten steps away from the entrance of the mountain pool, and after entering, they were still dozens of steps away from the wall on the other side of the rockery.
This distance, if you hold the Cui clan back as before, it can be completed quickly, but not now, because the prime minister and the king of Shu Wei Chi Dan came, and he was in the crowd more than seventy steps away, regardless of the Cui clan in Wu Ming's hands, he directly ordered the arrow to be released.
The first arrow was shot by Wei Chidun himself, of course, the target was not Cui's, but Wu Ming, and then the archers began to release arrows, if it wasn't for the folding shield to block, Wu Ming and his men and even Cui's would have been shot into hedgehogs.
With such a resolute person, Wu Ming knew that he was afraid that he would no longer be able to retreat calmly, and as time passed, there would inevitably be guards who would climb over the wall and enter the mountain pool to outflank them, and then they would be finished.
Wei Chi Dun, who was surrounded by the shield bearers of the forbidden army, looked at Wu Ming and the others with a pale face at this time, he received an urgent report in the mansion, saying that the princess was held hostage by orchids, so he rushed to the palace non-stop, and the situation was even worse than he expected.
Someone sneaked into the palace, not only holding the princess hostage, but also wanting to take the Son of Heaven and Queen Yi away.
If the other party is allowed to succeed, the consequences will be very serious, Wei Chidun looked at the thief who was shrinking behind the shield in front of him, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he listened to Cui's cry, his fists clenched.
If you do great things, you can't be too rigid about your children's private feelings, so...
If the princess dies because of this, he doesn't know how to face his son, but that's something to think about later!
"Rush! Rush up and take down the traitor!! ”
The prime minister personally ordered, the forbidden army and the guards no longer hesitated, shouting and rushing up, at this moment, another person came to the door, but it was Zuo Xiaogong Bo Wang Xin, the guards were stunned when they saw this:
This is the grandchild of Concubine Shu, in case of an accident, isn't it them who are unlucky?
"Leave it alone! Rush over! ”
Wei Chi roared, he could even his own princess "kill his relatives with righteousness", Wang Xin was naturally no exception, and the guards had to be ordered again, so they had no scruples, and they stopped for a moment and rushed forward again.
Seeing that Wei Chidun was so resolute, Wu Ming knew that the hostages were useless, and motioned to Deng Wu to pull the string of the oil bullet he had just gotten in his hand and throw it out, while he pushed Cui Shi aside and led his men to retreat.
The princess of Shu and the man surnamed Wang had no grievances with them, so Wu Ming didn't hurt the killer, and the fire oil bomb exploded in the crowd and burned a fire, which caused chaos among the forbidden army and guards, and the members of the cat team took this opportunity to retreat towards the mountain pool.
In the firelight, the arrows were fired in unison, and it was difficult to have a shield to cover it, otherwise at such a close distance, the ring lock armor worn by Wu Ming and the others would not be able to hold it at all, but the shield with many arrows was already extremely heavy, and it would be cumbersome to hold it again.
Abandoning the shield, Wu Ming and the others ran wildly, rushed through the small door, and ran in the direction of the pavilion.
In a messy pavilion, three members of the cat team are ready, one kneeling on one knee, carrying a bamboo tube on his shoulder, one end of the bamboo tube is facing the small door, this thing is one of the secret weapons of Xiyang Palace, there is a very smooth seven-character name:
The god bird of the nursing home.
In fact, it is a large monkey in a bamboo tube, the main body of the monkey is a gunpowder-propelled fire oil bomb, double fuze trigger: less reliable bump fuze, more reliable delay fuse.
Seeing Wu Ming and others running towards the pavilion, a large number of forbidden troops poured in at the door, and another companion ripped off the string on the bamboo tube, and smoke immediately came out of the tail of the bamboo tube, and after a while, the fire erupted, but I didn't see Ah Piji rushing out.
Stink bombs? We actually ran into it!
The members of the launch team realized that this chicken was a stinky bomb, and their heads were blank with fright, and if the chicken could not fly out of the bamboo tube, the delay fuse would detonate the oil bomb, and everyone would be finished at that time.
Wu Ming, who was running towards the pavilion, was anxious to shout when he saw this: "Throw it away, throw it into the pool, bastard!" ”
Hearing this, the shooter came back to his senses and threw the bamboo tube he was carrying on his shoulder to the pond outside the pavilion, and the second shooter quickly picked up another bamboo tube, pulled the string directly, and then carried the bamboo tube on his shoulder and aimed it at the small door.
Smoke rose from the tail of the bamboo tube, and at the same time, a fire flashed under the water outside the pavilion, and a large number of bubbles bubbled out, and then the burning oil surfaced.
There was a whistling sound, and something sprang out of the bamboo tube carried by the second shooter, flying towards the small door with fire and smoke, and crashed straight into the crowd that was about to rush out of the small door.
The bump fuse on the head didn't work, and the chicken fell to the ground, and the Janissary soldier said that the smoking thing flying over was not dangerous, and stepped over to rush through the small door.
As soon as a few people rushed through, suddenly there was a fire under their feet, and the small door instantly flashed with fire, and many soldiers were stained with burning oil, howling and hiding everywhere, but more people were ignited.
The chaos spread, and the burning door could not be broken through in a hurry, Wu Ming and the others took this opportunity to rush in the direction of the rockery.
。。。。。。
A small courtyard on the east side of the mountain pond separated by two courtyards, next to the courtyard where Agnès originally lived, the small-scale white-edged battle between the palace guards and the Xiyang palace guards has been decided.
The guards of the Xiyang Palace, who stayed at the entrance of the tunnel, fought with their hands with their hearts, and then started a white-knuckle battle, and finally won the victory with zero death, killing more than ten guards who inadvertently entered here.
But the movement of the fight has already attracted the attention of the nearby forbidden army and guards, and sooner or later the other party will send more people to rush over, and at this moment, the companions who escorted Princess Xiyang and the prince of the world were successfully withdrawn.
In addition to Princess Xiyang and the prince, Cuiyun, the steward of the backyard of the palace, was also rescued, which was expected by the members of the cat team, but the three extra women, they didn't know what their identities were.
One of them looked very similar to the princess, the other leg was lame, and the other was a bearded girl, with a cheek injury, which seemed to be not light.
Without further ado, there was no time to talk nonsense, and the palace guards who stayed behind led the princess to a well-concealed entrance, trying to escape from the palace through the tunnels.
Yu Chi Chifan came to the entrance of the tunnel shaped like a hole, looked down, and saw that the entrance of the tunnel was like a deep well, the width was only for one person to enter and exit, and the depth was at least one zhang, although the cave wall had a wooden ladder that went straight up and down, but it looked quite timid.
"Princess, please let your subordinates hold the son."
A guard said, after Yu Chi Chi Fan nodded, he took the Yuwen Wei City she was holding, Yu Chi Chi Fan thought that the guard was going to hold his son to climb the ladder down the tunnel, and took the other party to hold Yuwen Wei City and jump directly into the hole.
Seeing this, Yu Chi Chifan was frightened, and before Yuwen Weicheng could scream, he had already fallen to the cushion under the hole, and the guard, with the help of his companions who were waiting on the side, got up with Yuwen Weicheng in his arms.
After taking a few steps along the horizontal tunnel, he came to a vertical hole and jumped down again.
Before the captain Chi Chifan on the ground had time to worry about his son, he was picked up by a female guard from behind, with her feet off the ground, and she was carried by the other party and jumped into the hole, instead of slowly climbing down the wooden ladder.
There was a faint exclamation from Yu Chi Chi in the cave, which made Cuiyun at the entrance of the cave so frightened that his legs were weak, and he was directly hugged by a male guard and jumped in.
Seeing this, the princess turned her head and said "jump" to Agnès, and then rushed to the entrance of the cave without hesitation, but was stopped by the guards when she was about to jump down by herself: "Don't worry, wait a minute, if it's too fast, it will suppress the people below." ”
The foundation of the palace wall is not shallow, and it is very likely that there is a ground to prevent someone from digging a tunnel into the palace, so the hole dug by the Xiyang Wangfu cat team is very deep.
In this way, although the success rate of digging a hole into the palace is improved, when entering and exiting the hole, the speed of climbing up and down is very slow, and when you go out, you can climb slowly in turn, but when you come in, it will be congested.
When retreating, it is a flight, the shorter the time, the better, once queuing down the tunnel will make the retreat time too long, which is very dangerous, so in order to improve the speed of retreat, the tunnel exit specially uses a "multi-level platform" and a cushion cushion as a compensatory measure.
With the cushion, you can jump directly when going down the tunnel, which is safe and saves time.
Details determine success or failure, it is precisely because of the careful arrangement, the speed of retreat is very fast, everyone jumped into the hole in turn, and after a while, most of the people have entered the tunnel, at this moment, there are a lot of footsteps outside.
It was a large number of forbidden troops who rushed to hear the news and were approaching this courtyard, and Wu Ming and the others had just climbed over the wall of the courtyard next door, and the launch team on standby at the entrance of the tunnel came to the gate of the courtyard with two bamboo tubes and aimed them at the forbidden army rushing along the road.
The distance between the two sides is about eighty paces, and the distance is rapidly decreasing.
The only two remaining "Guardian Birds" were successfully launched at the same time, and both crashed into the shields of the soldiers in the front row, and although the fuses did not take effect, the time-delay fuses then successfully detonated the oil bombs.
The fire that ignited in the meadbetween intercepted a large number of forbidden troops, and the few soldiers who rushed to the front were cleanly solved by the palace guards.
The fire bought precious time for the guards to retreat, and at the same time, there were forbidden troops trying to climb over the wall from elsewhere, and Wu Ming, who was deliberately broken, was the last person, and just as he jumped into the hole, several forbidden soldiers climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, rushing to the entrance of the cave.
They saw the thief jumping directly into the hole, and the soldier who rushed to the front jumped into it, ignoring the possible danger in the tunnel, and then jumped in, only to be "halfway into the ground" to the end.
Wu Ming set up a movable thick wooden plank as a "portal" near the entrance and exit of the tunnel, so when he was the last to jump into the hole, his companion who was guarding the landing point pulled the rope and closed the plank, successfully blocking the pursuing soldiers.
The garden was in a mess, Prime Minister Wei Chi Dian hugged Cui Shi, who was crying into tears, looked at the embarrassed Wang Xin, his face was pale, and after knowing that the thieves were carrying the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and Queen Yi and fled into the tunnel, his head was bruised and he roared:
"Isn't there a place in the palace? How to get the thief digging a tunnel to get in! “
"All the people involved will be arrested and tortured!"
"Close the gates of the city at once, and send troops to the whole city! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to save the Son of Heaven!! ”
