Chapter 69: The Princess Who Came Out of Thin Air
β¦β¦ Running non-stop, the space was always changing, they ran out of the narrow hall, ran out of the high palace wall, crossed the corridor of countless flower clusters, and finally stopped behind a wall.
"Where is this?" Su Hong looked around curiously.
"The exit of the Mizo." Murong Ying pointed not far ahead, "That's where the waste water flows out." The palace gate is heavily guarded, and the two of us can't rush through, and this is the only place of hope. β
At this moment, the instrument on Su Hong's wrist flashed a light.
"Oops!"
"What's wrong?" Murong Ying looked at her with wide eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Time's up. Su Hong gritted her teeth and pressed the switch, "I canceled the automatic recycling, otherwise I would have to be taken back alone." I'll figure it out later, I can't leave you here alone. β
Murong Ying looked at her as if she didn't understand: "...... But how do we get out? β
Su Hong didn't answer, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked to the end of the ditch on the knee-high wild grass, where Su Hong found a very small hole, and the waste water did flow out from here.
Murong Ying walked over: "Not far from this wall is Weishui, this hole, I ...... I often sneak over and smash it, trying to make it bigger and escape, but I don't have the tools, and I see, I have been smashing and kicking for half a year, and it is still too small, and only children can get out. β
"Well, but I'd like to try it anyway."
Su Hong said, took out a knife, and pried the bricks hard, there were signs of loosening!
It turned out that it was raining for days, and the walls of the ancient building were not made of concrete, cement and steel bars, plus they had been kicked by Murong Ying for half a year, and as soon as the blade was pryed in, the soil layer fell down in a hurry!
"There's hope!"
As she spoke, her hand straining, the brick loosened even more. Murong Ying watched from the sidelines, and also bent down to find a hard stone to help.
The two of them smashed and pried, and soon broke the brick, and the hole suddenly became larger.
ββ¦β¦ You can almost crawl over it. Su Hong said, putting away the short knife, "I'll try it first." β
"But...... Stick your face in the sewage......"
"Escaping is more important than anything else!"
After Su Hong finished speaking, she took a deep breath and bent down to stuff her head into the sewage. She held her breath and climbed the edge of the hole with her hand, little by little, she squeezed her body completely!
Coming out of the palace wall, Su Hong exhaled deeply, her head and face were still in clothes, all of which were dirty!
"Princess! Come out! She whispered, "Bear with the dirty ......"
There was no sound inside.
Su Hong waited silently for a while, and whispered: "Life in the palace is dirtier than this sewage. Do you still want to stay? You're smaller than me, so you're sure to crawl out! β
So, after a while, she saw Murong Ying's head and neck coming out of the water!
ββ¦β¦ Fast! Su Hong grabbed her slender hand that poked out of the water and pulled her out of the palace wall hard!
"This ...... Where is this? Murong Ying looked at Siye blankly.
"Outside the Forbidden Palace, Chang'an." Su Hong said, "You escaped." Princess, you are free. β
Murong Ying looked at her, her expression was still stunned, but two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Su Hong couldn't bear to look at her like this, and was about to say something, but heard a noisy voice at the other end of the palace wall!
"They're catching up!" She grabbed Murong Ying's hand, "Run!" β
Perhaps it was the gunfire just now that attracted the palace guards, and soon their traces were discovered, Su Hong and Murong Ying could only pick the paths that the horses could not cross, and the wild grass and thorns cut through their skirts, hands, arms and faces...... But no one spoke, and no one stopped.
Just run away, run away, and suddenly, a big river crossed in front of them!
Su Hong's footsteps stopped.
This is Weishui, which is still young and still looks rich and expansive, far better than in the twenty-first century, when it has dried up and narrowed due to pollution and stuffing.
Su Hong was a little confused, she looked back at Murong Ying, and the other party's face was also dazed and frightened.
In the distance, the hustle and bustle of people can be heard, and the dust raised by the crowd of horses can also be seen.
"Take your clothes off!" She whispered, "Let's change our outfits!" β
Murong Ying was still staring at her in a daze!
"Your red dress is too conspicuous, let's change it." Su Hong handed the pale yellow palace maid's shirt she had taken off to Murong Ying, "Quick!" I'll wear your clothes to lure them away! β
Only then did she understand what she meant, and Murong Ying hurriedly shook her head: "No!" They'll catch you! β
"It's not like that." Su Hong smiled, "I'm not that cowardly - although I can't match your brother, it's not difficult to deal with a few guards." Hurry up! β
Urged by her, Murong Ying had to take off the red shirt and long skirt on her body, because after drilling through the royal ditch, her originally gorgeous clothes also became dirty, but the basic bright red color was still clearly recognizable.
"Put it on." Su Hong handed over his clothes to Murong Ying, and then pointed to the bushes in the distance, "Go over there and hide!" Don't make a sound, I'll come back to you when I'm done dealing with them. β
β¦β¦ Seeing Murong Ying's figure disappear into the bushes, Su Hong sighed and changed into Murong Ying's dress. The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the voices of people were getting louder and louder, Su Hong had to keep running along the banks of the big river, in fact, she didn't know what to do.
ββ¦β¦ See! There she is! β
There was a call from the guards, and Su Hong looked back and saw that a team of people was about to rush up!
At the last moment, Su Hong turned her head to look at the surging water in front of her, she gritted her teeth and jumped into the river!
There was an exclamation from the shore! Accompanied by "Oops! Go call someone! Niang Niang overboard! Taking a deep breath, Su Hong let herself gradually sink to the bottom of the water, away from the surface of the water...... Swimming training, which lasted for several years, was originally to keep in shape, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.
But the turbulent Weishui is not an indoor heated swimming pool, Su Hong only felt that she was being swept farther and farther away by the torrent, and she estimated that she was far away from the group of people, so she struggled to get out of the water. The bone-chilling cold soaked her, it wasn't a hot summer, the cold river was too cold for her to bear......
I don't know how far she was washed, Su Hong used her last bit of strength to finally swim to the shore and struggled to climb ashore.
She collapsed on the shore for a few moments before she regained her strength. At this moment, the instrument on the wrist suddenly flickered!
She gasped and pressed the switch, and Lei Jun's voice rushed into her ears: "...... Su Hong?! β
ββ¦β¦ It's me. She hissed.
"Where are you?!" Lei Jun sounded anxious, "What's wrong with you?!" β
"It's okay...... she wanted to say a good word, but her teeth were so cold that she kept bumping, "I ...... I'll be back later......"
"Wait a minute?!" It was Fang Wuying's voice, "Where did you go?!" We'll recycle you now! β
"No way!" Su Hong shouted vigorously, "No! Please wait a while! Come on! Please! β
"Wait, wait, wait? Su Hong, where the hell have you been?! β
"I ...... I ...... in 375"
On the other end of the intercom, there was silence.
Su Hong struggled to stand up: "...... I'm sorry, I have to save people......"
With that, she turned off the intercom.
Along the riverside, Su Hong staggered forward, she was soaking wet and cold as ice. The noise just now had disappeared, and I was afraid that the soldiers searching for her would see her fall into the water, and the search for a long time was unsuccessful, so they had to give up the operation.
There is no one to be seen on the shore of Weishui.
In the distance, Su Hong saw the grove, and she called softly: "Princess? Princess Qinghe? Are you still there? β
There is no echo.
Su Hong panicked! She stumbled deeper into the woods, her voice becoming more anxious: "...... Murong Ying? Princess Murong? Are you absent? β
After two or three consecutive sounds, she heard a faint voice: "I'm here ......"
Following the voice, behind a big rock, Su Hong saw Murong Ying poking his head out.
Her face and body were covered with moss and mud, and her clothes were dirty. There are also dead leaves and twigs in the hair, and it is difficult to tell that there is a person hiding here without carefully distinguishing them.
Greatly relieved, Su Hong smiled: "It's easy for me to find." Good thing you're okay. β
She felt that her legs were weak, so she simply sat down against the boulder. Murong Ying reached out and touched her arm, and exclaimed, "...... You're all wet! It's so cold! β
Su Hong smiled weakly: "I jumped into Weishui, they thought you committed suicide by throwing yourself into the water......"
Murong Ying's eyes flashed with gratitude: "Flower Essence, you saved me." β
Su Hong wanted to refute that she wasn't a goblin, but she didn't have the strength anymore.
"Flower essence, what should we do now?"
"Find someone to save ......" Su Hong's lips curled, "Let your brother ...... Help us. β
"My brother?!"
Su Hong didn't explain, reached out and pressed the switch of the communicator, and after a while, an angry voice came out: "...... Su Hong?! β
It was Fang Wuying's voice.
Su Hong couldn't help laughing, she took a breath: "Captain Fang, please turn on the recovery device." β
The person over there seemed to be patient for a moment before saying, "The recovery device has been turned on, and the location has been determinedβSu Hong, you will come back to me immediately." β
"Yes, Captain."
Su Hong wanted to laugh very much, but at the moment, she didn't even have the strength to laugh.
"Hold my hand." She stretched out her hand to Murong Ying, "Hold on, don't let go no matter what, I'll take you away......"
Her voice was weak, but it was so determined.
Murong Ying hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed Su Hong's hand.
When the green light of the recovery device came on, Fang Wuying and they heard a "clang".
It was the sound of a human body hitting the glass plate as it fell to the ground, and at the same time, a figure flashed inside. Lei Jun hurriedly opened the glass door of the conversion room, and the two of them stumbled and rolled out of it!
I saw that the two of them were covered in mud, their clothes, hands and faces were covered with dirt, and one of them lay on top of the other, holding her and crying and shouting, crying silently!
ββ¦β¦ Flower Essence?! Flower Essence?! Wake up! β
The one who passed out was Su Hong!
Outside the conversion room, everyone was stunned!
At this moment, Fang Wuying slowly stepped forward, he bent down and stared at the crying young woman with wide eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Sister?! His voice was like a dream.
The woman raised her tear-stained face and looked at Fang Wuying in a daze: "...... Who are you? β
Authorps:
I am back!
First of all, I must thank the classmate "Zhou Demon Hitomi is a meat bun" (this ID is really good...... ),I'm a person who doesn't care much about anything else except code words.,This article can increase so many readers so far.,I think,"Zhou Demon Pupil is a meat bun" classmates have contributed a lot (your ID is too long TT),There are other readers who take the initiative to promote,Thank you very much!
Then, I want to talk about the issue of recognition of the article, and I saw the reply mentioned in the post before that some readers do not agree with this article for some reason, I think, this is very normal.
If the text finds merit, then the reader will grasp what he wants, and will not pay too much attention to the questions that are not easy for common sense to accept; If the article is found to be worthless, then the reader will find the most convenient reason to abandon the article, so even if I change the A, B, C...... He wants to give up, and he will still give up.
So I'm not going to change anything for the sake of the reader, not because I'm arrogant, it's because I know too well that the reasons that people say are not reliable at all - if they are, where is the need to do counseling for a few years? So, I can't know why those readers really want to give up on this article in their hearts, and in fact, I'm afraid they don't know it themselves.
Excessive speculation about others will lead to the loss of one's position, and the loss of oneself to please others is even more terrible.
But even if you don't like this article, I don't think it's anything, there is no difference between good and bad reading preferences, let alone right or wrong, everyone has a set of philosophies that everyone can't shake, and everyone should respect the philosophy of others, because it is the foundation of human existence.
Besides, this article does have countless bugs, and in the words of one reader, it is "like a fishing net", hahaha! I really like this~ Fortunately, the starting point does not stipulate that "the text with bugs is not allowed to be posted", no, it should be said that it is fortunate that there is no provision for "no posting of more than 50 bugs", otherwise this article will only be thrown into the hard drive~
What I really want to show you is what's inside the fishing net, and it's with this broken fishing net that I'm catching it.
Thank you again for your support, this is what I intend to make a living as a meal, and I will do it well in my own way.
