5. Escape
When the city gate was opened at dawn, she let Lao Zhang go first, and she drove another carriage not far behind him, and when she arrived at the city gate, the officers and soldiers began to open the lid of the barrel and look at it one by one.
"Master Jun, this is all dung! It's dirty, I'm afraid you'll smell like this in a while. Lao Zhang said without panic at all.
"Do you think uncle, I want to, there's no way to be strict with it now!" After speaking, he was about to uncover the lid of the wooden barrel hidden by Yanran, at this time Wu Chengcheng drove a carriage to break into the city gate, the guards guarding the city did not have time to open the cover, all the attention was attracted by the dance of the city, at this time the guards immediately closed the city gate, Lao Zhang wanted to take the opportunity to run out, but before he arrived at the door, the gate was closed, Wu Chengcheng risked death to drive into the city gate, countless random arrows flew towards her, many arrows in her body were also shot and fell to the ground, but she was still breaking hard, and after a while Xu Zhi led the troops to arrive, and finally Xu Zhi ended her life with an arrow through the heart, Yan Ran in the wooden barrel woke up when she was checking the wooden barrel, she watched Wu Chengcheng die in front of her in the cracks, Lao Zhang knew that he couldn't get out, so he hurriedly pushed the wooden cart and wanted to hide in the alley, Xu Zhi noticed this Lao Zhang at once, in such a chaotic situation, he actually had to push the cart, he seemed to have guessed that Sima Yanran was in the wooden barrel.
"Alright, the idlers hurry up and leave, you guys chop off her head." Xu Zhi scolded the guards loudly, and Lao Zhang took the opportunity to leave the city gate. Xu Zhi looked in the direction he left, and a trace of imperceptible sadness appeared in his eyes.
As expected, Sima Ji waited for Jing Lan, who came alone, and he sat in the middle of the hall and looked at Jing Lan who was in a military position.
"The general is really unparalleled, and he immediately cleaned up Mayerdo's confidant. The king was very pleased, and the general felt that the king was getting better today. Sima Ji stood up from the throne and looked at Jing Lan proudly.
"Less nonsense, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Jing Lan is actually not very worried that Yan Ran will be caught by him, after all, she has Wu Chengcheng by her side, he knows that if he dies, then he can be the emperor, maybe Yan Ran can take the opportunity to escape from the imperial city and live incognito with Wu Chengcheng in a place far away from the country of smoke and rain, he is exchanging his life for her life.
"General, you are really infatuated with the princess! It's a pity that the princess is not with me, and she may have died in the fire. After saying that, a lot of archers came out of the entire Jinluan Palace, and countless arrows pointed at Jing Lan.
"I hope you will be kind to the people of Yanyu." Jing Lan closed his eyes, Sima Ji had always hated Jing Lan, he shot an arrow at Jing Lan's heart with his own hand, Jing Lan slowly fell, Sima Ji looked up to the sky and laughed, he didn't dare to cut off Jing Lan's head and hang it at the city gate. After all, he was a beloved general, and that would lose the hearts of the people, so he decided to let him enter the emperor's mausoleum with Emperor Sima, and said to the outside world that he was martyred outside the country. Three days later, Sima Ji claimed that King Sima had suddenly lost his heart and died of madness, and ascended the throne as emperor.
Xu Zhi secretly looked for Lao Zhang's traces, and finally he found Yan Ran and Lao Zhang in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, Yan Ran had not eaten or drunk for two days, when Xu Zhi saw the now down-and-out Yan Ran for the first time was still shocked by her beauty, he came back to his senses for a long time, Lao Zhang had already stood up vigilantly and held a knife at him. Yan Ran sat in the corner of the wall in despair and didn't look at Xu Zhi.
"Put down your knife, if I wanted to harm the princess, I wouldn't have deliberately let you go at that time, and you and I understand the current situation, why should I be on fire." Lao Zhang thought about it, he put down the knife, Xu Zhi wanted to go up to see Yanran's situation, but he took a step forward, and Lao Zhang's knife was raised again.
