Chapter 58: Over the Wall
The walls in the palace are surrounded by layers, blocking towering like cliffs, it is difficult to climb up, it is even more difficult to jump down, the wall of the inner palace is slightly shorter, there are more than two zhang high, Han Ruzi looked up, it is really a book to use when the party hates less, the wall is only high when climbing, especially the wall is smooth, there is not even a pothole to borrow.
Zhang Youcai led the way in front, but he didn't find the swordsman, and he couldn't help it when he got to the wall, "The wall here is much higher than Cining Palace, Brother Cai, can we take a ladder to send Your Majesty out?" ”
Counting the emperor, there are six people in total, and the height is enough, but Cai Xinghai didn't dare to take a ladder, "That's too dangerous, and Your Majesty can't go down after climbing the wall." ”
Cai Xinghai looked up and observed for a while, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, is there a place to go?" ”
"Of course, as long as you can leave the inner palace, you can go anywhere."
"Taizu's cloak room is not far from here, and there are things to climb the wall there."
The clothing room is also called the quiet room, Han Ruzi fasted there for several days when he first entered the palace, of course, he remembered that even a few holes in Taizu's clothes were counted, "Is there anything to climb the wall there?" ”
"There is a ladder in the wing, I have seen it, but I don't know if it is still used."
"Check it out." Han Ruzi spoke, but he didn't know which direction to go, he had always only taken the right path in the palace, and he was always followed by a large group of people, and suddenly came to an unfamiliar area, and he couldn't tell the direction for a long time.
"Yes." Cai Xinghai hugged his fists and led the way first.
Han Ruzi and the others quickly followed and asked, "Cai Xinghai, you used to be a soldier in the army, right?" ”
Cai Xinghai turned his head and smiled: "Your Majesty can see it accurately, I used to guard the border outside the Saiwai and advance the palace for five years." ”
Han Ruzi hadn't seen many soldiers, but Cai Xinghai's military aura was too strong, and he didn't need much experience to see it.
Zhang Youcai's excitement never subsided, and then he said: "We all call him 'General Cai' in private." ”
Cai Canghai blushed, "What kind of 'general' am I, just a small captain." ”
"That's also in charge of hundreds of people, Brother Cai fought with the Huns......" Zhang Youcai suddenly shut up for some reason.
If Han Ruzi was a little more mature, he would not ask any more questions, but after all, he was only thirteen years old, and his heart was not here, so he asked casually: "Isn't it good to make contributions in the frontier?" Why did you enter the palace? ”
Cai Xinghai laughed twice, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I just want to make contributions too much, so I overreported it when I reported to the first level...... Two or three hundred, according to the law, should be beheaded, just in time for the court's mercy and the world's amnesty, you can use rotten punishment to atone for your sins, I don't want to die, so I entered the palace. ”
Zhang Youcai said: "Ha, you told me that you overreported dozens of heads, and you are willing to tell the truth to Your Majesty, it turned out to be hundreds!" ”
"I can't afford to deceive the king. When I arrived, there was a dressing room in front of me. Cai Xinghai pointed to a small courtyard in front of him.
Han Ruzi's heart moved, and he vaguely understood why Cai Xinghai dared to save the driver, this is a soldier who is accustomed to taking risks, and he will ask for something after he succeeds in rescuing the driver, thinking of this, Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, he was too deeply influenced by Yang Feng, and he was always suspicious of help for no reason, and after finding a reason, he trusted the fat eunuch even more.
The cloak room is located in a small courtyard, and the courtyard door is closed at this time.
Cai Xinghai said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let me call the door first, and Your Majesty will reappear later." ”
"Okay." Han Ruzi and Zhang Youcai stood against the wall, and the other three eunuchs stood on the other side of the courtyard gate.
Cai Xinghai raised his fist and knocked on the door, "Lao Huang, open the door, Lao Huang, open the door quickly!" ”
After waiting for a while, a low voice came from the door, "Who?" ”
"I, Cai Xinghai, can't even hear my voice?"
"What are you doing here?"
"When I came to sweep the floor a few days ago, it seems that a broom has fallen here, and the cleaning room is not counted, I will look for it, open the door quickly."
"I don't have your broom here. What the hell is going on out there, and how dare you run around? ”
There are many courtyards in the area where the concubine lives, and they usually guard the door, and when there is a wind and grass, the door is closed more tightly, and the people outside can't enter, and the people inside can't understand the progress of things.
"What can it be? The palace has arrested someone again, open the door, and let me go in and have a look. ”
"If it's okay, why don't you even come to deliver food?"
The sun had already set in the west, and the eunuch in the courtyard had been hungry for a day, and he knew very well in his heart that something big must happen outside.
"What's my business with food delivery? I'm just a sweeper, what don't you believe? ”
There was silence for a while, "You better go, today is not the day of sprinkling, I can't let you in." ”
Cai Xinghai is a martial artist after all, and he can't make sense and is impatient, especially when the emperor is by his side, he raised his fist and was about to slam the door, Han Ruzi waved his hand at him and whispered: "Let him look out." ”
"Who? Who else is out there? The eunuch inside the door heard.
"Don't open the door for me, okay. Lao Huang, you take a look outside. ”
The door panel sounded slightly, and the people inside looked out through the crack in the door, "Lao Cai, don't mess around, this is the palace, and the slightest mistake will be lost...... OMG! ”
Han Ruzi stood in front of the door and said in a low voice: "Open the door for me, I know you, and you recognize me." ”
There are too many eunuchs in the palace, and Han Ruzi doesn't remember who Lao Huang is at all, but he believes that Lao Huang must remember the emperor.
The latch of the door rang, the two doors opened, and an old eunuch knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know if Your Majesty has arrived ......"
"Hurry up." Han Ruzi took the lead in entering the hospital, Cai Xinghai and others followed, Lao Huang opened his mouth and stammered, and he didn't dare to stop anyone.
The courtyard is not big, the main room in the middle is the clothing room, and the wing rooms on both sides are some of the instruments and objects left by Taizu when he first built the palace, and the descendants are collected as treasures.
Han Ruzi said to Cai Xinghai: "You go to find the ladder, I want to see Taizu Yiguan." ”
As soon as these words came out, Cai Xinghai and the others became serious, and they even tiptoed to walk.
When he arrived here, Han Ruzi was familiar with the road, went straight to the clothes room, pushed the door that was hidden, stepped in, and saw two eunuchs prostrate on the ground with his spare eyes, he didn't care at all, walked to the hanger, knelt on the futon, and said softly: "Taizu Rongma has been a horse all his life, he has experienced a hundred battles, and he disdains Sun Han Ruzi who has no choice but to borrow one of your things today, I believe that your spirit in the sky will not object." ”
Han Ruzi kowtowed, got up and walked to the hanger, and carefully removed the sword, he had a strong interest in it when he first came here to fast, he didn't dare to touch it at that time, but now he doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
The emperor was not afraid of the eunuchs.
The two eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground first looked at the emperor blankly, and then suddenly stood up together, threw themselves at the emperor's feet, and cried: "Your Majesty must not move the sword, absolutely not." ”
Han Ruzi ignored the two of them, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, after more than one hundred and twenty years, the sword body was still shining with cold light, and the white blade was like snow.
"Sure enough, it's a sword." Han Ruzi praised, waved it lightly, and liked it more and more in his heart, "Such a sword should be commonly used, it is really a waste to hide it in the box." ”
When he was about to walk, he found that his two legs were held by the eunuch.
"I order you to let go."
"Your Majesty, Taizu's clothes can't be moved, let alone taken out of the quiet room, this is the ancestral teaching, Your Majesty ......"
Han Ruzi raised his sword, "Taizu holds a three-foot sword to calm the world, I don't know how much blood this sword has drunk, it has not been used for many years, it is appropriate to take your sacrificial sword." ”
The two eunuchs were stunned for a moment, let go of the emperor's legs, retreated on their knees, and did not dare to raise their heads again.
Han Ruzi went out with a sword, Cai Xinghai and others also walked out of the wing room carrying a ladder, saw the sword in the emperor's hand at a glance, and said in unison: "What a sword!" ”
Han Ruzi couldn't help but laugh, his confidence doubled, he put his sword into the sheath, and said, "Let's go." ”
The old eunuch who was guarding the door was still kneeling at the door, looking at the emperor who was walking with a sword, he didn't dare to stop him at all, but just kowtowed vigorously.
It was about to get dark, and I didn't know what the situation was on the side of the Qinzheng Palace, Han Ruzi quickened his pace, and Cai Xinghai and others followed.
The ladder was placed on the wall, the height was just right, and Cai Xinghai said: "Taizu is worthy of being the emperor immediately, always thinking about war, and the ladder is prepared for this palace wall." ”
Han Ruzi had another feeling, Taizu seemed to feel that the palace was not safe, so he prepared war equipment, which was used by the seventh grandson more than a hundred years later.
Cai Xinghai climbed the wall first, tested the firmness of the ladder, found that there was no problem, and said, "Your Majesty, please come up, Zhang Youcai, protect Your Majesty." ”
"Don't worry." Zhang Youcai followed behind the emperor, always stretching out a hand ready to support.
Cai Xinghai knelt on the wall tiles, and also stretched out his hand to catch the emperor.
That's when the pursuers arrived, "Found it!" The emperor wants to flee! One shouted.
Han Ruzi was startled, turned his head to look, and saw more than ten swordsmen dressed as eunuchs running in the alley, and the first two were extremely fast, and they would come soon.
Han Ruzi kicked a few times in a row, stretched out his free hand to hold Cai Xinghai's hand, and jumped up the wall with his strength. The wall is covered with a layer of tiles, and it is quite unstable to stand on.
Zhang Youcai's movements were flexible, and he soon came up, and Han Ruzi shouted to the three people on the ground: "Come up!" ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and one of them looked up and said, "Your Majesty, let's go quickly, let's block for a while." ”
The three of them held up their long bamboo poles, ready to face more than a dozen swordsmen.
Han Ruzi wanted to urge again, Cai Xinghai and Zhang Youcai had already dragged the ladder up and threw it outside the wall.
The two swordsmen at the front arrived, and while swinging their knives to block the bamboo poles, they threw hidden weapons at the wall.
Cai Xinghai hugged the emperor, jumped over, jumped outside the wall, Zhang Youcai didn't say a word, and jumped down.
Cai Xinghai fell to the ground, only feeling a sharp pain in his right ankle, but he didn't bother to check it, he still hugged the emperor and turned his head to look at the wall. Although he is a man of the army, he also knows a little about the rivers and lakes, if there are many people on both sides, he is not afraid of swordsmen, but when they meet on a narrow road, he has little chance of winning.
As long as one of the swordsmen in the wall can jump out and climb out of the high wall, Cai Xinghai can only fight to the death.
Screams rang out from within the walls.
