Han Ruzi broke free from Cai Xinghai's arms, got up and pulled out the Taizu sword, staring nervously at the wall, the screams inside were likely to come from the three broken eunuchs.

Cai Xinghai also got up, and the pain in his right foot was even worse, but it didn't feel like a fracture, but twisted to his ankle, so he didn't care about it. The long bamboo pole remained in the wall, and he had a short knife in his belt, which he pulled out and stood side by side with the emperor.

Zhang Youcai was small and light, and he jumped from a wall more than two feet high and didn't do anything, but he didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he could only clench his fists and prepare to fight to the death.

The three of them looked up at the wall together.

The screaming inside the wall soon stopped, and Zhang Youcai said, "If you can attract the nearby guards to ......"

Before he finished speaking, a palm appeared on the wall, slapped a piece of tile, and fell down again.

Cai Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief, at least there were no real masters among these swordsmen who were chasing, "Let's go, Your Majesty, we have to leave quickly." ”

Han Ruzi nodded, Cai Xinghai gritted his teeth and limped to lead the way, Zhang Youcai walked behind, looking back as he walked, and occasionally saw his palms popping out of the wall, and after walking more than a dozen steps, he couldn't help but say: "These people are so stupid, they can jump so high, don't they come up by taking a personal ladder?" ”

Zhang Youcai stepped on other people's shoulders, so he always remembered this idea.

Cai Xinghai was stunned for a moment, and also glanced back, and immediately quickened his pace, the lame became more obvious, Han Ruzi caught up and held the eunuch's arm with his left hand, "Are you injured?" ”

Cai Xinghai hurriedly transferred the short knife in his right hand to his left hand, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just a broken foot, I can stand it, on the battlefield, this is not an injury at all." ”

In order to prove that he had no problem, Cai Xinghai walked faster, and after a few steps, large beads of sweat oozed from his face, Han Ruzi watched everywhere, they walked in an extremely long alley, with the inner palace courtyard wall on one side, and the red wall of the same height on the other side, I don't know which palace it is.

There is nowhere to run here.

Zhang Youcai, who was following behind, shouted: "They climbed up!" ”

The swordsmen in the palace finally thought of a way to climb the wall, and jumped up one after another, some jumped into the alley to chase after them, and some ran at the head of the wall, stepping on the tiles loudly.

Cai Xinghai glanced forward, the alley was endless, and his legs were not good, so he couldn't outrun the pursuers behind him after all, so he simply stopped and said to the emperor: "I will lead Your Majesty into danger, the crime is unforgivable, please allow me to stay and fight to the death with the traitor, Your Majesty ......"

"I'm going to stay." Han Ruzi also knew that he couldn't escape, so he held his sword and faced the pursuers, comforting: "They don't dare to kill me." ”

He is actually not particularly sure in his heart, Luo Huanzhang and others have the Queen Mother and the King of the East China Sea in their hands, and they may really want to kill the puppet emperor to prevent future troubles.

Cai Xinghai was both ashamed and grateful, standing in front of the emperor with a knife, staring at the swordsman running in front.

Zhang Youcai stood beside the emperor, trying to find a stone or something, but the alley was so clean that there was not even a straw stick, so he had to hold his fist in front of his chest and mutter: "Come on, see who is more powerful." ”

There were ten swordsmen chasing on the ground, five people running on the wall, and a few swordsmen did not climb up. The wall was covered with a layer of tiles, undulating, but the people on it ran faster, probably to show that they were extraordinary, and the broken tiles under their feet kept falling, and even their own people in the alley had to hide.

Cai Xinghai didn't find a master, he felt a little at ease, and secretly calculated that he could probably defeat a few, but he felt tricky and regretted not bringing a few more people out.

The swordsman running at the front of the wall was less than ten paces away, and he jumped high on his side, trying to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and take the first feat.

Cai Xinghai suddenly roared, although he was already a eunuch, this roar still had seven or eight points of momentum, and he seemed to have returned to the side fortress, facing not the Hun cavalry, but a pack of wild wolves.

The swordsman who jumped up on the wall seemed to be frightened, and his body tilted, and he actually fell into the wall.

Zhang Youcai also screamed in his own sharp voice, originally intended to echo Cai Xinghai's roar, but he didn't expect it to have an effect, and another knife fell from the wall, and he also fell into the wall.

"Haha, coward!" Zhang Youcai was excited.

Cai Xinghai was stunned, even if he and Zhang Youcai's roars were really so powerful, the swordsman should have fallen outside the wall, how could he fall into the wall?

was puzzled, the swordsman in the alley arrived, and it was two people who arrived together, and they didn't wait for the companions behind, and rushed up directly with a knife.

Cai Xinghai roared: "Protect Your Majesty!" "Say it and stride up to meet him, he is a veteran of the army, there are no fancy moves on the rivers and lakes, the short knife is chopping according to the head, the speed is fast, the strength is enough, and the momentum is strong, the oncoming swordsman is shocked, stop and dodge, Cai Xinghai's knife is lifted upwards and hits the second swordsman.

The two knives were connected, the knife man ran too fast, the lower plate was unstable, and he didn't make enough effort in his hand, and the short knife came out of his hand, so frightened that he fell to the ground and rolled, and he could avoid the fatal knife.

Zhang Youcai applauded loudly, Han Ruzi also shouted, and wanted to rush forward with his sword, but was dragged by Zhang Youcai, "Your Majesty, don't worry, let Brother Cai hold it for a while." ”

More swordsmen caught up, scattered and stood away, only one or two people stepped forward to confront the fat eunuch at a time, and immediately retreated if they missed a blow, and then changed people and went up again.

The sun had set, the alley was rapidly darkening, Cai Xinghai roared and swung his knife like a lion, at first he had the advantage, but slowly slowed down, and his foot injury made it impossible for him to pursue the enemy, wasting many opportunities in vain.

The besieging swordsman felt confident of victory and began to talk.

"Don't worry, the eunuch is dying."

"Go and get a few people in the back."

"Don't hurt the Emperor."

"What happened to those two people on the wall just now?"

"I'm running too fast."

It was dark, the alley was especially dim, and only a vague figure could be seen, Cai Xinghai staggered, and instead of killing a knifeman, he was frequently in danger, and his heart became more and more anxious, and he endured the pain in his feet and chased after a knifeman.

The swordsman had already taken precautions and dodged sideways, but his feet flashed, and he actually fell, and before his palm supported the ground, he was stabbed in the neck and fell down without saying a word.

The swordsmen were shocked, Cai Xinghai was in high spirits, and rushed to the second swordsman with a knife, the swordsman was unwilling to resist hard, and wanted to retreat, but for some reason his knees bent, but he knelt forward and sent his good head to the eunuch's knife.

The two swordsmen were hit, and the others retreated, and finally someone shouted in understanding: "Be careful, the eunuch has a helper!" ”

Cai Xinghai also knew that his victory was not normal, but he couldn't care so much, wielding a short knife, limping after the enemy, whether the pursued person was hiding or advancing, he always stood unsteadily at the last moment and became a ghost under the knife.

By the time the fifth swordsman was reached, the short knife had already curled up and could not be pulled out on the enemy's shoulder, so the swordsman screamed, turned around and ran away with the knife.

Cai Xinghai became bare-handed.

Han Ruzi couldn't watch anymore, pushed Zhang Youcai away, shouted, and rushed forward.

The emperor's martial arts are even more magical, Cai Xinghai still has to swing the knife and drop the knife, and really slash at the enemy, but the emperor just raised the sword and rushed to whoever fell, either pressing his legs or covering his stomach, rolling and screaming.

"There is an ambush! There are masters! The remaining swordsmen never found out where the enemy was, and they didn't know how many people there were, so they were even more frightened in their hearts, so they turned around and ran, and the wounded who fell to the ground also ran away, leaving behind four corpses, all of which were killed by Cai Xinghai.

Han Ruzi was still unsatisfied, because his sword didn't even touch a drop of blood, and he wanted to chase an injured swordsman, but Zhang Youcai grabbed him tightly, "Your Majesty, don't chase." ”

Cai Xinghai gasped, clasped his fists and saluted around, "May I ask which guards are the brothers?" Today, the saint is here, and you have meritorious escorts, so you might as well come out to see the driver. ”

There was no response around, only the sound of the wind whimpering.

Cai Xinghai picked up a short knife from the ground, looked around a few more times, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, let's go first, these guards...... May be reluctant to show up. ”

"They didn't even receive such a big credit for escorting?" Zhang Youcai was incredulous.

Han Ruzi also felt strange, turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly said loudly: "It's you!" I know it's you! ”

Cai Xinghai said in surprise: "Your Majesty knows...... Is there only one person? ”

Still no one answered, and no one showed up.

Han Ruzi shook his head, "I'm just guessing." He remembered that the man was reluctant to show his face.

Zhang Youcai wanted to come to support the emperor, Han Ruzi asked him to help Cai Xinghai, and the three of them walked out of the alley, and there were two roads in front of them, one extending to the south and the other pointing to the east.

Cai Xinghai said: "Go east, the Taimiao should be there." ”

"Brother Cai knows the way, I'm confused." Zhang Youcai entered the palace when he was a teenager, and his understanding of the palace was only a small part.

Cai Xinghai nodded, "I once participated in the Taimiao Festival, and I still brought a ...... at that time He is also a border military captain. We entered the temple from the main gate on the south side, and from the south gate we could lead to the Qinzheng Palace. ”

"We've got to find a place to rest." Han Ruzi said.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, this is not a place to stay for a long time, and the traitors will definitely catch up again." In order to show that he was fine, Cai Xinghai jumped lightly, but he grinned in pain and couldn't help but snort twice.

"There will be no ministers in the Qinzheng Hall at this time, and it's useless to go, let's hide until the morning, what kind of place is this, why is it so deserted?"

Cai Xinghai is not very familiar with the palace, the directions are all calculated, and he can't say anything specific, so he can only shake his head.

The three of them continued to move forward, and Zhang Youcai suddenly patted his head with his free hand, "I remembered, isn't this the East Palace Prince's Mansion?" ”

"Huh? The Prince's Mansion is not here. "Han Ruzi and her mother lived in the Prince's Mansion for a few years, and I remember it very clearly.

"This is the former Prince's Mansion." Zhang Youcai remembered the rumors in the palace, and said endlessly, "The previous princes all lived here, since Emperor Wu killed the two princes, this place has been idle, and there were people guarding it at first, and then it was ......" Zhang Youcai shuddered and didn't dare to say anything.

"What happened?" Han Ruzi asked curiously.

"The two dead princes always come out to haunt them, and there is no one living here anymore, no wonder they didn't attract guards when they were so loud just now." Zhang Youcai whispered, his voice trembling, "Just now...... It wasn't going to be ...... who saved the driver just now."

"Nonsense, it's the martial arts master who rescues the driver." Cai Xinghai didn't believe in the rumors of haunting, and even more so in front of the emperor.

"Let's just hide here tonight." Han Ruzi also doesn't believe in ghosts, but thinks it's an excellent hiding place.

Zhang Youcai made two sounds, obviously extremely reluctant, but he didn't dare to object.

Cai Xinghai was about to speak, when a figure suddenly walked out of the dark wall in front of him, his body was straight, and it seemed to float over in the dark, Zhang Youcai was so frightened that he hugged Cai Xinghai's arm tightly.

"Who?" Cai Xinghai shouted.

The figure stopped and said, "It's already late at night, please go back to the palace." ”
