Hongyi handed the water bladder to the palace, and the queen saluted gratefully and thanked him for sending the water bladder to the emperor's mouth to feed him a few sips, and then drank a small sip herself.

At this time, the imperial palace was already in chaos, and after the peasant fish blew up the emperor's dormitory, the soldiers guarding outside were frightened, and rushed over in a swarm under the command of the officers, half-opening the collapsed roof and ruined walls, hoping to find their emperor's majesty, but after working for a while, after cleaning up all the rubble and rubble, no figure of the emperor was found, only a corpse that was enduring, the emperor, and those kidnappers of unknown origin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and disappeared.

Later, someone discovered the entrance to the secret passage, but the hole had collapsed, and the officer immediately ordered the hole to be dug up, and no matter what, the kidnappers could not take the emperor away, and at the same time, the officer sent someone to report the news of this place to the prime minister, and asked someone about the secret passage, and at the same time, the air force transferred a large number of airship branches to various places in the imperial capital and the suburbs to find the whereabouts of the emperor.

The whole city of the imperial capital was under martial law, and the people were ordered to stay at home and not go out, and the Praetorian Guards were divided into countless teams to conduct door-to-door investigations, and hundreds of people woke up from their dreams and complained. On the outskirts of the western part of the city, two or three miles away from the city wall, is a barren grassland, which has been abandoned since when, and no one has been doing farming, let alone taking care of it, so it is idle, and no one knows why.

The sky is white, a vole is carefully foraging, grass seeds here are its favorite food, and it can eat a full meal every day during this season, which is the happiest time for it.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the vole stopped and stared motionlessly at the ground not far in front of him, where something seemed to be trying to emerge, and the turf bulged upward.

A mud-stained thug stretched out from below, and the vole turned and ran away in terror, running back to his home with a smoke and not daring to come out again. The turf collapsed, and after a few coughs, Yuan Fang probed out, looked left and right, lowered his head and whispered, "It's out of the city, and there is no one nearby." Wait, there seems to be an airship in the sky. ”

Yuan Fang retracted into the cave and said depressedly: "This is trouble, there are several airships in the sky circling here, and the sky will be bright, so many of us will definitely be found when we go out together." ”

Yang Yi proposed, "Why don't we just stay here and wait?" Let's go out when Xueqin and the others come? ”

Yuan Fang shook his head: "No, Xueqin and they may not have the ability to save us even if they come and find us, their task is to solve the airship of the Liusang Empire, and it doesn't have to be long when the ground troops come over, at that time, it is estimated that the hole has already been dug up, and we still have no place to hide when the pursuers catch up." ”

The red-clothed probe went out to look and said, "This should be the western outskirts of the city, I see a small hill to the west, we can go there to hide for a while, and then find a way to go further." ”

Yuan Fang discussed it with Nongyu, and there was really no other way, but so, otherwise there would be no chance to escape when it was dawn.

The farmer fish was the first to come out of the hole, and the gagged emperor took advantage of the gap in the sky that had just passed to rush out like lightning, and ran to hide in the sparse grove on the small hill that the red clothes had said. Then Hongyi, Yang Yi pulled the queen and ran over, and finally Yuan Fang.

Everyone converged in the grove, and the few small trees here couldn't hide so many people, and once it was dawn, they would definitely be discovered.

Nongyu was the first to come, and he had already observed the terrain, pointed to the west and said, "Let's go that way, the wind is blowing from that side, there is a salty smell, it should be blowing from the sea, that is to say, it should not be too far from the sea." ”

Yuan Fang scratched his head and said: "But the meeting place that Xueqin and I agreed on is in the eastern suburbs of the city, if she can't find us, we will be in a hurry, and we don't dare to let go of the attack." ”

Nong Yu frowned and said, "Then what do you say?" It's enough to have you as a burden, but now there are two more, and it's impossible to go around from west to east. ”

Yuan Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we go our separate ways, Senior Nongyu, you take the red clothes and the emperor and the two of them to the west, Yang Yi and I go to the east meeting point to wait for Xueqin, and we will go to the west to pick you up after we meet Xueqin, how about it?" ”

Nong Yu shook his head: "I can barely take care of one, and I can't do it if I have two, this is the Liusang Empire, and there are their people everywhere." ”

The red clothes shouted, "Brother, I'm also with you." ”

Yuan Fang looked at the emperor and the panicked empress beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "No, you can take the emperor alone." ”

Yang Yi and Hongyi asked in unison: "What about the queen?" What to do? ”

Yuan Fang tangled and said: "I can't let it go, I can't stay here, if we are discovered by the Liusang people too early, we won't be able to escape far, it's really not good, just." Speaking of this, Yuan Fang couldn't bear to make a throat-cutting motion.

Yang Yi was silent, and the red clothes shook his head vigorously and said, "No, I can't do that kind of thing." ”

Yuan Fang said depressedly: "Then what do you say?" ”

Yang Yi glanced back and said, "Why don't you send her back to the secret passage, even if the pursuers chase her from the secret passage, I don't know how long it will be." ”

Yuan Fang thought about it and said, "It's okay, but you have to tie her up, otherwise it's still just as troublesome for her to run out." ”

Yang Yi nodded: "Of course I know this, so it's decided." ”

Hongyi said to the queen in Liusang: "We have to go back to the secret passage to hide, you go first, don't make a sound, otherwise I will kill the emperor." The queen didn't know why, nodded, and was pulled back to the cave by Yang Yi.

After entering the secret passage, Yang Yi knocked it out, dragged it a little farther away from the entrance of the cave, tied it with a rope, gagged it, and finally lit the oil lamp on the wall, at least the cave was no longer so dark.

Glancing at the woman lying on the ground, Yang Yi sighed: "Poor woman." ”

Out of the secret passage, Yang Yi covered the hole with turf and returned to the grove to join Yuan Fang and them. Nongyu had knocked the emperor unconscious, and when he saw Yang Yi coming back safely, he said to Yuan Fang, "I'll go first." ”

Yuan Fang grabbed the farmer's fish: "How will we find you then." ”

Nong Yu thought for a while and said, "When our people come, I will light a fire near the hiding place, or tie a black turban on the tree, and then you can pay attention, if nothing else, I will be close to the sea, you just pay more attention." Yuan Fang nodded in understanding.
