Chapter 42: Escape
Shuangyue sneered: "The woman he has taken a fancy to either throw himself into his arms or want to refuse to welcome back, and he naturally feels novel to me, an alternative who doesn't give a good face from beginning to end." He even treated me with courtesy all the time. People are so cheap, the harder it is to get their hands on it, the more they cherish it, and the more they fall into the lowly ones, the more they will be trampled on. ”
Qin Fei said: "Miss Frost Moon, have you ever heard that the king of the Tian Hunting Ceremony was attacked?" ”
Shuangyue said: "That is definitely the prince's conspiracy. He boasted many times a few days ago that he would soon become the king of Qi. ”
Qin Fei said: "Girl, do you know where those attackers came from?" ”
Shuangyue said: "Listening to him, it seems to be a bandit on the mountain near Chu Mengze." ”
Qin Feixin said: "Men are most likely to get carried away in front of the women they like. Liu Xiqiu planted himself and died, and he didn't necessarily want to know how he died. ”
Xiang Chonghua said: "What's the matter with those weapons that are exactly the same as Yingyang Junfu?" Can Liu Xiqiu tell you? ”
Frost Moon said: "He is just showing off to me, how can he reveal such an important secret?" Suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiang Chonghua: "The prince has always been angry about Brother Hua's investment in Yingyang Jun's mansion, and plans to kill you if he can't accept you for his own use." ”
Xiang Chonghua sneered: "I want to see if he has this ability!" ”
Shuangyue said: "The prince may not have this ability, but Qianrenxue may not be impossible." As far as I know, Qian Lingxue has been doing fine work in Yingyang Jun's Mansion for a long time. Your actions may have been mastered by them. ”
Xiang Chonghua couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Do you know who Qian Lingxue is?" ”
Shuangyue shook her head and said: "This matter is a first-class secret, if it is leaked, it will definitely offend Qianrenxue, how dare the prince reveal it to others?" ”
Xiang Chonghua stomped his feet and said, "I'll talk about these things later, and now I have to escape from here first." Xiang Shuangyue said, "Do you know how to go on the road to the outside here?" ”
Frost Moon said: "Naturally, I know. But it was heavily guarded. Frost Moon's martial arts are mediocre, I'm afraid it will only affect two of them. ”
Xiang Chonghua took out the map and said, "Can you understand this?" ”
Frost Moon's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a shortcut!" Turning and pushing open the door, he walked through a small corridor to a large pillar and said, "This should be the mechanism." ”
Xiang Chonghua circled around the pillar, stretched out his hand to push and stopped, hugged the pillar with open arms, and turned his waist hard, the pillar "creaked" and turned half a circle, and the opposite wall opened a door.
Frost Moon said, "Follow me." "Be the first to enter the aisle. Xiang Chonghua entered last and closed the door. Only to hear the "creaking" sound again, and the pillar returned to its original state as the door was re-covered. The three of them walked through a secret passage to a study.
Shuangyue said: "This is the place where the prince and Da Sima and Ling Yin secretly discuss important matters. He's going to a feast tonight, and no one else will come in. Feel free to look for anything important. ”
Qin Fei looked at Frost Moon for a while, and suddenly said, "He won't come back suddenly, right?" Do you know when he left? ”
Shuangyue said: "He came to pester me again in the afternoon and pestered me for a while before leaving." ”
Xiang Chonghua said angrily: "It's shameless! ”
Qin Fei said: "Did the prince tell you anything?" ”
Shuangyue said lightly: "What else can I do but let me marry him?" Except once or twice for the sake of showing off to me, he was tight-lipped the rest of the time. ”
Qin Fei said: "Why didn't he send someone to guard you when he locked you up here?" ”
Shuangyue said: "I have sent one or two handmaidens before, but I have driven them away. No one else should know about my place except him and the butler. Even if you have to send someone, they will be blindfolded. ”
Qin Fei sighed: "I said I liked it, but I imprisoned you in a place where there was not even a book." The secret room was so dark that even the sunlight could not penetrate it, and if it were for me, I would not have survived. ”
Frost Moon said lightly: "There is nothing. Frost Moon is illiterate anyway. No one bothers me, but I'm pure. As for sunlight and the like, it doesn't matter, but living day and night can forget a lot of troubles. ”
Xiang Chonghua rummaged around, took a letter and said to Qin Fei: "I searched around here and found nothing. Only this letter seems to mention a few words about joining forces with Da Sima to suppress the Zuo disciples, and it is extremely vague, and it is completely ungraspable. ”
Qin Fei took the letter and read it carefully a few times, and said, "At first glance, I really can't find any clues, but if I think about it carefully, I can still get some information." Pointing to a few lines of words to Xiang Chonghua, he said: "You see, the accusations here are that the Zuo disciples are rebellious and disrespectful, which shows that the things they use to make a big fuss should be words or food and clothing." If it is a verbal statement, it is difficult to retain the certificate, so it can be excluded. Moving his finger downward, he pointed to the following lines of words and said: "Here it is said that the behavior of the Zuo disciples who openly undermined the health and well-being of the entire Qi country and the anger of the people and gods is unforgivable, it can be seen that the Zuo disciples must have done something that violated the taboo." However, Zuo Tu has always behaved in a well-behaved manner, and he should not be cautious, and he should not violate the laws of Qi State. Combined with the fact that the family was unable to attend the field hunting ceremony due to the death of his father, it can be seen that the Zuo disciple probably violated the new order because he did not know that King Qi prohibited the killing of deer. Although King Qi often remembers the old feelings, he is extremely superstitious, because it is very likely that this matter will greatly punish the leftists. ”
A hint of admiration flashed in Frost Moon's indifferent eyes.
Xiang Chonghua patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sure enough, it didn't cost me all my hard work to carry you here." ”
Qin Fei folded the letter and handed it to Xiang Chonghua, and said, "I'm afraid that Liu Xixuan has just received this letter and hasn't had time to read it carefully, otherwise it should be destroyed like other letters." It can be seen that the attack on the left disciples is still in the brewing stage. Tomorrow we will immediately inform the left disciples, it should be too late. After a pause, he continued: "Although Liu Xixuan is confused, Ling Yin and Da Sima, who assist him, are both extremely powerful characters. If you want to get rid of Liu Xiqiu, it's best to pull them off the horse first. ”
Shuangyue said: "But these two people have a lot of power in the Qi Dynasty, and they are very popular with the King of Qi. How easy is it to shake them? ”
Qin Fei said: "The greater the power, the greater the danger, and no matter how docile the monarch is, he doesn't trust the courtiers who are high-ranking in his eyes." Once the evidence of them vigorously supporting the crown prince and even betraying King Qi is caught, King Qi will definitely be eager to get rid of them. ”
Frost Moon's eyes showed a strange look for a moment, and she calmed down: "When you go out of the study and go to the right hand, there is a long corridor, and after passing through the long corridor and passing through a peach blossom forest, there is a side door, this road is the least guarded, and it is the fastest to get out of the house." Especially in the peach blossom forest, I heard that if a man other than the gardener dares to trespass, he will be scolded with a cane. ”
Xiang Chonghua said excitedly: "Could it be that there is a secret of an invisible person in the forest?" ”
Shuangyue said lightly: "It's not a big deal. Can the two ben princes know the princess Xiya of Xiguo? ”
Xiang Chonghua felt a pang in his heart and said, "I've heard of it." What's the matter with Princess Guanya? ”
Shuangyue said: "The prince has long admired the fame of Princess Ya, and when King Jiang married Princess Ya, he was even more fascinated after seeing her face, not only hung the portrait of Princess Ya and the crooked poems inscribed for her everywhere in the bedroom, but also built this peach blossom forest for Princess Ya, who is known as the Peach Blossom Fairy. However, the prince was very secretive about this matter, and even mentioned only a few words to me. As for the butler and his subordinates, they don't even know who the portrait in his house is. ”
Xiang Chonghua couldn't wait to rush out and hack Liu Xiqiu to death.
Qin Fei hurriedly said: "Let's escape as soon as possible, if we wait for Liu Xiqiu to come back, it will be even more difficult to get out." ”
After the three of them put all the objects in place, they quickly came to the peach blossom forest according to the path pointed by the frost moon. Xiang Chonghua suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the woods without a single peach blossom. Qin Fei knew that after he met Zhao Yi, the unbearable past was evoked again, and when he saw Taolin, he was even more thoughtful of things, lovesick and incomprehensible, sighed secretly in his heart, pushed Xiang Chonghua, and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to be stunned." Although the security of the peach forest is relatively loose, it is difficult to be discovered. ”
Xiang Chonghua suddenly turned around and took a step, drew his sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "There is an ambush!" Hide behind me! ”
The firelight turned out from behind the house in front of the peach forest, and dozens of bows and crossbows were aimed at the three people. The chief of the guard shouted, "Sure enough, I fled here." Catch it alive! ”
The bows and crossbows were aimed downward at the legs of the three people, and Xiang Chonghua shouted loudly: "Flee to the forest." The figure quickly moved left and right, the sword light was dense into a network of light, and the arrows landed one after another. The chief of the guard also drew his matching knife, and nearly 100 soldiers divided into two ways, bypassing the arrows and rushing towards Xiang Chonghua.
Xiang Chonghua fought and retreated, his body quickly shuttled freely among the enemies who surrounded him, and the guards fell to the ground one after another where the heavy sword swept away. But more and more people surrounded them, and they couldn't even shoot arrows.
The chief guard shouted: "Listen, Huazhong, my prince admires your martial arts very much, and if you abandon your weapons and surrender, I will definitely not embarrass you." If you want to be obsessed again, you're welcome! ”
Xiang Chonghua scolded: "Let me bow my head to Liu Xiqiu's perverted straw bag, and don't even think about it." If you have the ability, catch me first! ”
The guard said: "There is courage! With a wave of his hand, nearly 100 people who had just rushed over also rushed forward. Xiang Chonghua saw that the enemies were gathering more and more, and the pressure also rose suddenly, although he could escape with the help of light skills, he still gritted his teeth and struggled to support in order to buy a little more time for Qin Fei and Shuangyue. Frost Moon's voice faintly came from the peach forest, and said, "Brother Hua, come quickly, they don't dare to enter the forest." “
Xiang Chonghua's spirit was shocked, and seeing that although the enemy was coming from all directions, no one entered the forest to pursue Qin Fei and Shuangyue, and the heavy sword suddenly slashed down the five guards around him, taking advantage of the sudden decrease in pressure, and quickly moved back.
When the guards saw that he was about to enter the forest and hurriedly catch up, Xiang Chonghua reached into his belt without looking back, took out a flying needle and threw it backwards, and the enemies at the front fell to the ground one after another.
Xiang Chonghua jumped up, rolled twice on the spot, and then stood up, shouting, "Qin Fei, Shuangyue, are you all right?" ”
Qin Fei's voice came from the other end, saying, "We're here!" ”
Xiang Chonghua followed the sound and saw that the peach blossom forest had come to an end, and the lights in front of him gathered more and more, and they came one after another.
Shuangyue said: "As long as you go out and run for more than ten zhang, you can jump off the wall and get out." It's a pity that there are a lot more ambushes outside the forest than just now. ”
Xiang Chonghua said: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to rush out, there will be more and more people on the other side, and if you just stay here, you will be trapped to death sooner or later!" Xiang Shuangyue said, "Do you know how to use a sword?" ”
Shuangyue bit her lip and said, "I've learned a little from Yingyangjun, I just hope that I won't become a burden to you." ”
Xiang Chonghua patted Qin Fei's shoulder and said, "Just be stronger than him." At least you won't take the sword upside down, will you? ”
Qin Fei punched Xiang Chonghua, but he jumped up in pain, holding the knife and saying angrily: "Don't underestimate me too much!" No matter how bad I am, I can cut people! ”
Xiang Chonghua ignored him and said to Shuangyue: "I'll take a sword for you first, and then come out after taking it." "Rushed out of the woods. After a while, a long sword flew into the forest and landed at Frost Moon's feet. Shuangyue picked up her sword and said to Qin Fei, "Follow me." "Rushed out too.
Xiang Chonghua was at the forefront, and the heavy sword was wide open and closed, and the blockers were invincible. Frost Moon was in the left rear, swinging her sword to slash and slash the enemies who were pressed away by Xiang Chonghua's sword. Qin Fei held the knife tightly and slashed in the air, often before the knife touched the edge of the enemy's clothes, the enemy was slashed to death by Xiang Chonghua's sword. Yokozato rushed at Frost Moon's more than a dozen armor-clad guards, and Frost Moon swung his sword to resist, and the long sword struck the tough armor and shook the tiger's mouth, and the long sword fell to the ground. Another armored warrior attacked from behind, slashing her right shoulder with a sword, and Frost Moon screamed and was about to die. Xiang Chonghua's body turned sharply, and he kicked out with a sweeping leg to the left, and the three armored warriors in the front row immediately lost their center of gravity and fell back, and the armored warrior camp immediately became chaotic. Xiang Chonghua immediately jumped high, snatched a long sword with his left hand, and stabbed straight with his right heavy sword, killing several people in a row to break through a gap. He sandwiched Qin Fei and Shuangyue under his ribs, flew into the air, and quickly stepped on the heads and shoulders of dozens of guards with his feet, crossing a distance of six or seven zhang to reach an unsurrounded ground.
The enemies who were left behind turned their heads and chased after them, and the enemies guarding the wall also shouted and shouted for their generals. The three of them desperately ran to the place where there were few people on the wall, Xiang Chonghua let go of the hidden weapon on the one hand, and said to Shuangyue on the other: "Are you okay?" ”
Frost Moon clutched her right shoulder, where blood was constantly oozing, gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay! I can also use a sword in my left hand. ”
Qin Fei held up the machete and shouted, "I can also cut people!" ”
Xiang Chonghua roared: "Less chaos! Don't take the knife in the opposite direction and cut yourself! ”
Handing the sword they had just snatched to Frost Moon, the three of them once again broke into the midst of the enemy. Although Shuangyue's movement of holding the sword in her left hand was a little slow, she also used it well, and she knocked down nearly ten guards in a row, Qin Fei was still bloodless, and he was so anxious that he waved his big sword, and said, "You two don't take care of me like a child, okay?" I have knives too! ”
Xiang Chonghua said: "Okay." With a quick flash, a guard immediately rushed behind him, and slashed down with Qin Fei's sword. Qin Fei screamed, swung his knife and hit the guard's head, and the guard also screamed, stretched out his hand and touched it, but not even blood came out, just puffed up a big bag. The two stared at each other for a moment, and the guards immediately chased after Qin Fei and slashed, and Qin Fei was so frightened that he shouted for help. Frost Moon lunged through with an arrow, and the sword was handed out, stabbing into the guard's throat.
Xiang Chonghua picked up Qin Fei, threw it behind him and said, "Tell you not to take the knife upside down, you just can't remember." Stay in peace! ”
Seeing that the three of them were already approaching the wall, they only needed to kill the guards in the corner of the wall to climb the wall and escape.
Xiang Chonghua roared: "Keep up closely!" "Cut melons and chop vegetables, and knock down ten enemies in a row. Qin Fei stumbled under his feet and planted himself on the ground. Frost Moon immediately turned around to save it, and one person cut in horizontally, and it was a sword towards Frost Moon, Frost Moon swung his sword to block it, and the two were entangled together. Xiang Chonghua waved a knife, and the guards who stopped in front of him were bleeding from their necks. Xiang Chonghua swept his knife and slashed at another ironclad warrior who rushed out from the side, and the heavy sword pierced through the armor with flesh and bones. Qin Fei gasped for breath, shouting loudly, and rushed over to help Xiang Chonghua.
The guards next to him saw that Qin Fei was killed together. Xiang Chonghua blocked his face, but felt a pain in his right rib. Qin Fei looked at the knife he had slashed at Xiang Chonghua stupidly, at a loss.
Xiang Chonghua was almost so angry that he turned his back on it, and said angrily: "If you don't take it early or late, why do you take it so correctly when you cut me!" ”
On the other side, the frost moon was surrounded by five armored guards, and it was clumsy on the left and right. Xiang Chonghua immediately ran over, raised his knife and cut off one person's neck, and with a flick of his wrist, the back of the sword hit another person in the chest. Frost Moon's pressure dropped sharply, and he swung his sword and stabbed into the eyebrows of a person, only to hear Qin Fei shouting and raising his knife and running to help again, and slashed at Xiang Chonghua's left rib impartially, even cutting off the knife. Fortunately, Xiang Chonghua's body immediately gave birth to protection, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Xiang Chonghua grabbed Qin Fei's collar and roared angrily: "You kid really pursues perfection!" Chop the right and chop the left! ”
Frost Moon stabbed the three guards to death, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Hua, Mr. Qin, take advantage of now!" ”
Xiang Chonghua saw that a piece of the wall had been cleared, and he carried Qin Fei's waist on his shoulders, hugged Shuangyue's slender waist and climbed up the wall. Arrows from the rear shot one after another, Xiang Chonghua responded through the air, dodged left and right, and finally climbed to the top of the wall, stretched out his hand and sprinkled a hidden weapon to shoot down the enemy who was about to chase to the base of the wall, and quickly disappeared into the vast dark night.
