Chapter Twenty-Four: Escape
The two returned to Hana's boudoir with their armor, and Ji Zheng put on a silver armor and a cloak, looking powerful and heroic. Hana looked up and down and couldn't help but nod her head in praise.
Ji Zheng blushed shyly, lowered his head embarrassedly, and said, "Thank you Miss Hana for your appreciation......"
"Haha! It looks better with this! ”
Before Ji Zheng's words fell, Hana grabbed a veil from the bed and pressed it on Ji Zheng's face with a smile. Ji Zheng lifted the veil, then gently grabbed Hana's wrist, and said with a helpless smile: "Miss, don't make fun of me anymore." ”
"It's good-looking, and it's not going to be said!" Hana pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help but smile on her face.
"Good, good...... Let Say, Let Say...... But, Miss Hana, it's almost dawn, do we have to act? ”
"Hmm!" Hana smiled and nodded, and beckoned Ji Zheng to go out with her.
Seeing that the men of the three-month clan were waiting outside the door, Hana put away her smile and said to them solemnly, "You put on these three pieces of bright silver armor and prepare to follow me." I don't blame you if you don't want to leave with me, but you must help me get out of here. This operation is not too dangerous for you, but you need to do everything in your power to protect yourself. After I escape, you have to throw away your armor, get out as quickly as possible, and go home as if nothing had happened. In the future, you should protect your family and live well. ”
"Master......" The three moon clan looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Don't say anything, put on your armor and get ready for action!"
The people of the Three Months clan bowed in front of Hana and said in unison: "Oh! ”
Afterwards, Hana led Ji Zheng and the Yueyue clan out of the residence. They dodged patrols and guards, and cautiously came to the vicinity of Juntai. The five people took the torches from the side of the road and set fire to the thatch on the surrounding houses and windows, and the flames spread rapidly, and soon the entire Xingyue Hall burst into flames.
Seeing the fire raging everywhere, the five people hurriedly hid in the purple bamboo forest on the side.
The Xingyue Hall was suddenly in chaos, and people were awakened by the fire, some were eager to flee for their lives, some rushed to put out the fire, and some were at a loss, and they would only shout and run all over the ground.
At this time, Fan Li, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the panicked noise outside, he sat up and beckoned: "Come on, why is there so panic outside?" ”
A servant hurried in, threw himself to the ground, and said in a panic, "Oh no, my lord, it's on fire outside." ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Where are the guards? ”
"Guards? Oh, yes, yes, the adults may be in danger, so I'm going to wake up the guards. The servant staggered out of the room.
Fan Li smiled calmly, then got up and started dressing.
Not long after, the four guards also staggered into Fan Li's house, they knelt on the ground, and said to themselves: "The adult spares his life, the villain is guilty!" ”
"What's the crime?"
"The villain slept too deeply, and he didn't know that there was a fire outside, let alone that the armor was stolen!"
"Huh? Armor stolen? ”
"Yes, sir! For some reason, the four of us slept soundly, and we didn't notice any movement. If it hadn't been for someone calling, we'd probably still be asleep. When we woke up and opened our eyes, we found that all four armors were gone! ”
When Fan Li heard this, his brows furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he exclaimed, "Not good! I'm afraid someone is trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape! The secrets of this place must not be leaked, you go to the cloud steps quickly, inform the guards to strengthen the guards, and no one is allowed to pass! ”
"Whoa!" The four of them responded and immediately got up and left.
Under the busy work of everyone, the fire in Xingyue Hall was basically controlled, although it was not yet dawn, everyone woke up, and there were people everywhere near Juntai, they yawned, and their faces were black.
At this moment, Ji Zheng led the people of the Three Months clan to jump out of the purple bamboo forest and strode towards Juntai. In the faint light, the bright silver armor of the four people was particularly eye-catching, and when people saw the flash of the silver armor, they recognized that this was Lord Fan's silver armor guard, and thought it was Lord Fan Li coming.
Just when people gathered and waited expectantly for Lord Fan to speak, Ji Zheng strode onto the podium, pointed at everyone and shouted, "Everyone listen! Listen! Wu Guo conspired to bribe the Yunjie guards, infiltrated the Xingyue Hall, and captured Master Fan! Now that the spies are kidnapping Master Fan and preparing to escape, we must go to rescue Master Fan as soon as possible! It's too late! ”
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was indignant and ready to move.
Ji Zheng then shouted: "Wu Guo is too deceitful! They relied on the strength of the country to wantonly slaughter the people, and now, the people of Wu are jealous of Lord Fan's virtue and deeds, and secretly do such despicable and shameless things! Come with us to save people! Otherwise, Lord Fan will definitely die, and Xingyue Hall will also be destroyed! Fast! Bring your weapons and come with us! ”
Some people took the lead in coabling, others followed suit, and the mood of the crowd became higher and higher, and the will became more and more unified.
At this moment, Hana suddenly jumped into the crowd, she pulled out an iron sword from the weapon rack of Juntai, held it high above her head, and shouted at everyone: "Let's go!" Go save people! ”
Ji Zheng and Hana looked at each other and immediately understood. As a result, the four "Silver Armor Guards" took the lead in opening the way and rushed towards the direction of the cloud steps. Everyone also drew out the blades on the Juntai weapon rack one after another, and followed Ji Zheng to kill the cloud steps, and there were more than 30 people this time.
When everyone came to the outside of the cloud steps, the sky was already white at this time, and they saw that the cloud steps were guarded in strict formation, and there were many swords and halberds. Ji Zheng saw that Fan Li's four guards were also among them, and without waiting for the guards to ask, Ji Zheng shouted loudly: "Look! It's these bastards who captured Master Fan! They know we're coming to the rescue, and they're already in formation to stop us! We must kill them to save Fan-sama, brothers! Rush me! Ji Zheng said, led the Yueyue clan to kill them, and the others also rushed up to kill.
Seeing a group of people slaughtering in a menacing manner, the guards and the four guards who came to announce were completely stunned, and they didn't even know what was going on. A guard wanted to explain to everyone, but his voice was completely drowned out by the screams of everyone, and before he could react, he was slashed and killed by the Yueyue clan.
Soon, the scene was completely out of control, shouting and killing, and flesh and blood were flying.
Ji Zheng had no intention of fighting, but just protected Hana, and fought and advanced, the two rushed into the cloud ladder passage, and finally escaped by taking advantage of the chaos. Hana turned around and searched for the three silver-armored people, trying to tell them that they could go home, but when she finally found the flash of the silver-armor, she saw three bodies in silver-armored bodies lying in a pool of blood.
Hana felt sad and blamed herself, she looked at the three corpses stupidly, and for a moment she forgot to run for her life, and stood in place at a loss.
"Miss Hana! Run! Seeing that Hana was still motionless, Ji Zheng grabbed Hana's hand and ran upward in a panic.
Ji Zheng took off the silver armor while running, he pulled Hana to run up the cliff in one breath, and then the two ran away again, and saw that no one was chasing behind, so they pulled Hana to hide in the grass and trees on the side to rest.
"Hah...... Miss Hanna, can ...... Have you ever been injured......" Ji Zheng asked breathlessly.
Hana didn't answer, just gasped and shook her head.
"That'...... That's good......"
The two rested for a while, and Ji Zheng looked at Hana and said, "Miss Hana, where are you going to go in the future?" ”
"I don't know, Huaxia is so big, I don't know where to go...... I don't know how they will live after leaving their people......" Hana was saddened.
"Hey, Miss Hana, since you have escaped, don't be sad for the people anymore, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can live well." Ji Zheng tried to comfort Hana, nervously raised his hand and gently patted Hana on the back.
"But all three of them are dead......"
"Let's mourn, they can be regarded as loyal to the Lord, and presumably Lord Fan will not embarrass their family."
"I hope so......" Hana lowered her head, turned slightly to the side, and rested her head on Ji Zheng's shoulder.
Ji Zheng froze suddenly, he felt that his heartbeat that had just calmed down became manic again, he tightened his body and didn't dare to move.
The two sat quietly like this, and after coming over for a while, Ji Zhengcai frowned and said, "Miss Hana, you must be more careful when walking in the rivers and lakes in the future." ”
Hearing this, Hana straightened up suddenly, turned around and glared at Ji Zheng.
"Under ...... It's hard to talk about it, I ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to walk with Miss Hana......" Ji Zheng bit his lip and said this sentence with difficulty.
Hana was angry, but she didn't say a word, just stared at Ji Zheng.
After a moment of silence, Ji Zheng said: "I have the herb poison in my body, and it must be detoxified by Mr. Qu Fu, if there is no antidote today, I will die of poison." I was afraid that something would happen to me, and I didn't dare to coerce Qu to give me the antidote before I fled, and I was even more worried that he would not be afraid of coercion and denounce our plans. Therefore, I can only make up my mind to help the young lady escape, and I will return to the Star Moon Hall...... Miss Hanna, please tell me to go down to the place, and when I am free, I will go and look for it as soon as possible! ”
Hana lowered her head, her body shaking with her breathing. Suddenly, Hana got up suddenly, kicked Ji Zheng to the ground, and scolded angrily: "Ji Zheng! You bastard! ”
Then, Hana turned and walked away.
Ji Zheng wanted to chase after him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit up and quietly watch Hana's figure fade away in the hazy morning light.
