Chapter 264: Escape from the Palace

Lin Kunshan stood in the courtyard with a group of guards, and as long as there was a signal outside, they would rush out and intercept those who left the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shangguan Sheng opened a palace gate in the east in the name of facilitating the travel of soldiers, the guards are not strict, people who want to get out of the palace are likely to give it a try, there is an alley after leaving the palace is the only way, Lin Kunshan and others are guarding a courtyard at the exit of the alley.

There was more than two, there was a sound of clapping outside, and more than a dozen guards pushed the door out, but Lin Kunshan did not move, sitting on the only stool, smiling, and waiting quietly.

Not long after, the person who left the palace was brought in, it was a eunuch in his thirties, trembling with fright, and he was almost dragged into the courtyard.

"What's your name?" Lin Kunshan's tone was kind.

"Jiang, Jiang Tianfu, add Tian."

"Well, good name, why did you leave the palace?"

"At home...... Someone is sick. ”

"The eunuch also has a home?" Lin Kunshan was a little surprised.

The eunuch nodded desperately, and cast a look for help to the surrounding guards, but no one cared, so he had to say: "As long as the Queen Mother or Your Majesty allows, the eunuch can also start a family, and I am allowed by the Queen Mother." ”

Lin Kunshan laughed, and wanted to ask where the eunuch's family came from, but he had more important things, "Hand it over." ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, looked at the soldiers around him again, seemed to feel that there were too many people, and was a little embarrassed, so he hesitated for a while before reaching into his arms, groping for a small package, and sending it very reluctantly.

Lin Kunshan had a smile on his face, but as soon as he took the package, he felt that the weight was wrong, the treasure seal was made of jade, it shouldn't be so heavy, his smile decreased a few points, and he quickly opened the package.

Inside are three small gold bricks.

"What is this?" Lin Kunshan put away his smile.

"It's ...... A little filial piety for adults. The eunuch honestly said that he did not recognize the hopeful, so he had to be called "sir" in general.

Lin Kunshan turned over and threw the gold brick on the ground, "Where is the treasure seal?" ”

The eunuch looked confused, of course he knew what the treasure seal was, but he never thought that it could be connected with him, so he was confused, "It should ...... It should be in the Palm of the Seal. ”

"Search, head to toe." Lin Kunshan ordered, he was used to seeing big people, he really couldn't "follow the trend" with an ordinary eunuch, and was more willing to adopt simple and crude methods.

Two soldiers raised the eunuch's arms, and the other searched carefully, and soon found another bag of gold and jewels, but there was no treasure seal.

"Why did you quietly leave the palace?" Lin Kunshan asked sternly.

"Someone in the family ......"

"You're lying, what disease requires you to take so much gold out?"

"It's really a family member, very sick."

"Chop off one of his hands." Lin Kunshan ordered.

A soldier pulled out a knife, and the eunuch Jiang Tianfu knelt down, "My lord, spare my life, I'll tell the truth." ”

Lin Kunshan waved his hand to stop the soldiers, "Say it quickly." ”

"Palace...... Rumor. Jiang Tianfu peeked at the soldiers around him again, and said in a trembling voice: "It is rumored in the palace that once the Su Guards are defeated, they will hunt down and kill the palace people, and they will never leave us to ...... Other emperors. Everyone was scared, and I was scared, so ...... So I want to get out of the palace and hide for a while......"

"Everyone?" Lin Kunshan suddenly felt uneasy.

"Yes, yes, I'm not the only one who wants to take refuge in the palace, and I ...... soon"

Before Jiang Tianfu finished speaking, there was a sound of clapping outside, and a soldier broke down the door and said eagerly: "Dozens of people...... No, hundreds of people ......"

Lin Kunshan was shocked, got up and strode to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the street outside.

In the night, I can't tell how many people are running wildly, there are eunuchs and palace maids, and there seem to be a small number of soldiers in a trance, and they don't make a sound in their mouths, they just run desperately, as if there are fierce beasts chasing behind them.

Lin Kunshan was dumbfounded, seeing that the crowd was about to pass by, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Stop them! Not a single one can escape! ”

The guards rushed out of the courtyard, but their number was too small, only more than fifty, but they were faced with hundreds of people who were running with their lives, and the company of the guards had not yet been lined up, and the two sides had already rushed together.

Many were knocked down by scabbards and gun hilts, while many more rushed through the blockade and fled into the streets of the neighborhood, where it was difficult to recover them.

Lin Kunshan stood at the door stunned, he was still fooled, Yang Feng actually guessed this trick, so he asked a large group of people to cover the escape of the seal collector, as for how Yang Feng contacted the palace people, Lin Kunshan was completely confused and not interested, he only regretted one thing, why did he think that the seal collector would leave the palace alone?

Because Baoxi was too important, he thought that Yang Feng would never dare to entrust such a valuable thing to many people, and could only be one person, but he didn't expect that Yang Feng's statement to encourage everyone to flee the palace had nothing to do with Baoxi at all.

Lin Kunshan came back to his senses, lifted the corners of his clothes with both hands, leaned against the wall, and walked quietly outside the alley, and just took a few steps, he was stopped by the soldiers, "Mr. Lin, everyone has been caught, let's go with us to report to the general general." ”

This is not "all caught", more than half of the crowd fled, but the soldiers did not want to take this responsibility, they were not fully prepared in advance, and this was to blame for the planners.

Under the escort of the soldiers, Lin Kunshan walked towards the palace with a pale face, looked back frequently, and wondered how to "take advantage of the situation" to get rid of the crime of losing the seal.

The idea of "three parts of the world" popped up in his mind again.

The Su Guard army was concentrated in the north city, and the southern army occupied the west city, because they were afraid of the betrayal of their generals, both sides did not dare to disperse their forces, so the east and south cities were abandoned, and there were almost no soldiers stationed, and the residents avoided the war, but they did not dare to be careless, and few people dared to go out into the streets during the day, and they all hid at home at night.

The people who successfully escaped from the palace were scattered in the streets and alleys, either returning to their homes or going to relatives and friends, and soon disappeared without a trace, only a little eunuch ran desperately south, but the speed quickly slowed down, obviously due to physical exhaustion.

The little eunuch didn't dare to stop, he really couldn't run, so he could only walk quickly, and when he arrived in Nancheng, the little eunuch encountered a more serious problem - he didn't know the way.

The little eunuch only knew that he was going to Nancheng, but the further he went, the more narrow and complicated the streets and alleys became, and in the dark night, it was difficult to even identify the direction, let alone find an unknown small inn, and only knew to travel to the southeast corner of the capital as much as possible.

There were three people standing in front of him, and the little eunuch ran closer to find it, screaming in fright, and hurriedly turned around, and there were two people standing behind him.

"Hey, it's not like a eunuch, it's like a ...... It's a woman. ”

The little eunuch not only screamed like a woman, but also trembled, "You ...... Who is it? As soon as he opened his mouth, he proved his identity even more.

"It doesn't matter who we are." The man in front of him said, finding that this was just a woman who didn't know martial arts, and his tone was much more relaxed, "You escaped from the palace?" ”

"It's not."

"Then how do you have the clothes of a eunuch?"

"Yes."

"Is it really?"

"Yes." The woman calmed down slightly, "I'm not the only one, many people have escaped, and it is said that the Su Guards are going to slaughter the palace people." ”

"From which door?"

"Dongqingmen." She didn't have to lie.

Several men blocking the road glanced at each other, and one said, "What's going on?" A group of palace maids can break out, what kind of key can we send someone to the palace to steal? ”

"Don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders." Another reminded.

"What about the others?" The man asked.

"Hiding in the East Side." The palace maid replied.

"Why did you get to Southtown?"

Hearing that this is Nancheng, the palace maid was a little relieved, "I'...... My relatives live in Nancheng, and I'm here to join. ”

Several men nodded, as if accepting this rhetoric, and turned sideways to give way, but a man behind the palace maid caught up, "Wait, search down first, maybe she has the royal treasures with her." ”

"Don't mess around, Lao Wu, we have a task on our bodies, what kind of hero is bullying a woman......"

"Go, I'm not a hero, I'm ...... You see how frightened she looks, there must be treasures on her body, you don't search, I'll search, the treasures belong to me alone, not your share. ”

Another man tried to persuade him, but was taken away by his companion with a smile.

There was only one man left, standing in front of the palace maid, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

"I ...... I'll give you money, you can let me go. The palace maid panicked and took out a silver ingot from her bosom.

The man took it in his hand, raised it above his head, and glanced at it by the moonlight, but he still couldn't see clearly, but he felt that the weight should be right, so he couldn't let the palace maid pass, "Don't worry, you don't often go out of the palace, right?" ”

"Hmm." The palace maid took a step back vigilantly.

"There are no other men in the palace except for the eunuch who is the emperor, right?"

The palace maid took a step back, "There are also guards. ”

"Can the palace maid see the guards?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, I think you're lying, you can't see the guards, and you have more treasures on you, hey, you yourself are a treasure, Lao Tzu has walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he hasn't touched it...... Oops! ”

The man covered his left cheek, drew a knife with his right hand, turned around and shouted angrily: "Who? Fatty, is that you? Come out for me. ”

No one showed up, and his companions were already far away.

Another stone shot in the dark, hitting the man's head, the power was not small, and the bag was smashed out at once, the man retreated, "There are really guards......" The man turned around and ran, looking for helpers.

The palace maid stood still, not understanding what was going on.

A figure quietly approached and whispered, "Tong Qing'e, follow me." ”

The palace maid was taken aback, "How do you know my name?" ”

The man said, "I'm Meng E, we've met." ”

"Ah, it's you, great, I have something to give to you, it's Yang Gong......"

"We'll talk about it later, come with me first." Meng E led the way in front.

Tong Qing'e followed closely, feeling relieved, "It's such a coincidence that I met you here." ”

"I'm in charge of monitoring the Tan family in this area, and I'm going to have a fight with them later."

"Fighting? What I bring to the table is more important. ”

Meng E stopped, Tong Qing'e stepped forward and said two words in her ear, Meng E raised her eyebrows, "The fight still has to be fought, and the things have to be sent out, leave it to me." ”

Tong Qing'e stuffed a small package into Meng E's hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "The next thing is up to you." ”

Meng E took Tong Qing'e around the bush and did not go to the inn, but stopped in front of a private house, knocked lightly on the door, and someone inside immediately opened the door.

The room was crowded with people, and Tong Qing'e saw familiar faces in the crowd, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Brother Cai!" ”

Cai Xinghai was startled and was about to speak, when Meng E stepped forward and lit up the thing in his hand.

Cai Xinghai was shocked, although he hadn't had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes before, he could still recognize that the seal in Meng E's hand was by no means an ordinary thing.

He glanced at Tong Qing'e at the door, and said to everyone in the house: "The plan has changed, we have to send something out of the city to the tired marquis, even if we die, we have to succeed." (To be continued.) )
