Chapter 170: Pursuit

Brother Zhan, who drank sugar water for the first time, was really distracted and didn't cry anymore.

Xiao Youchun and Xu Ruoxian looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time they were embarrassed by the time to come.

The hardest thing at the moment is to coax the child.

They looked at this large granary, who would have thought that they would connect the exit of the secret passage at the foot of Banzai Mountain, and then enter the new secret passage through a complicated detour, and this time they walked out in a quarter of an hour, and above the entrance of the cave was this granary.

"In half an hour, someone will open the warehouse to inspect, and then we will hide separately in two adjacent cellars," the fourth man in black temporarily acted as a command, and the second and third looked at him without any dissatisfaction, obviously approving of him, "Second brother, you are responsible for taking the boss, and the little palace maid-"

He pointed at Xiao Youchun, nodded, and then pointed his finger back to himself and the third child, "I'm with the third child, with the child." ”

When Xiao Youchun heard this, he immediately went to see Xu Ruoxian, who was holding Brother Zhan, who was biting the edge of the bowl and slowly swallowing the sugar water and drinking, but there was no reaction.

"Fourth, that little girl can't be underestimated, she can't be let with the child, let's change it-"

"The boss can be tricked, can you watch her?" The third child snorted, "Just take care of this little palace maid." ”

"I ...... Can I follow you too? Xiao Youchun looked at the fourth child with blank eyes, she felt that he should be the most gentle among the three people, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at the second guy with bad eyes in fear.

"......" guy two.

The fourth and third laughed maliciously at the same time, which frightened Xiao Youchun's little face pale.

"You can't hide too many people in the sealed space of the warehouse." Xu Ruoxian was still holding the bowl in one hand, and there was no extra hand to appease Xiao Youchun, so he smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, he won't dare to do anything to you." ”

When he turned his face to look at the men in black, he added coldly, "Unless they don't want their boss's life." ”

Hearing this, the second guy waved the sword in his hand threateningly, and the third child stared at her unhappily.

Only the fourth child narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, a little interesting, how cute he laughed, why is it so difficult to mess with.

Brother Zhan, who had forgotten to find Shen Tingnian for a short time, finally drank enough, he twisted himself and got off the ground, and under the eyes of everyone, he walked a few steps, and saw Xiao Youchun suddenly grinning.

......Seeing him laughing, Xiao Youchun suddenly didn't think about anything and wasn't afraid of anything, she knelt on the ground with a funny expression, "I'll catch Zhan Zhan!" Woohoo woo ......"

"Ahhhh......h

"......" The three men in black were shocked, did they take them seriously!

It's dangerous now, you guys!

###

"Niangniang, you can't be too emotional now, otherwise the head syndrome will be more intense."

Xiang looked at Shen Tingnian, who was awake, and persuaded a few words in vain, "There is also that new prescription, the more intense the medicine, the greater the damage to the body......

"What medication?"

Pu Yangxu, who came in suddenly, listened to his tail, he didn't suspect it, thinking that Shen Tingnian had just fainted and wanted to prescribe medicine, "Nian Nian, how are you feeling now?" Is there any-"

"What about Zhan Zhan? Did you find it? Shen Tingnian got up too fast and almost fell back, but was supported by Pu Yangxu, he shook his head with a calm face, "I have mobilized 30,000 imperial forest troops from each palace city, to the imperial city, and finally to the outer city...... A city-wide search. ”

"There's no news yet." Pu Yangxu glanced at the old imperial doctor, "Xiang Lao will wait in Yanxi Hall first, and I will go to the back garden to pursue the prince......"

"Houyuan?" Shen Tingnian repeated, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, yes, the inner court is in front of the outer court, and all palaces and halls are full of people, they have no chance to dig through the dark passage again, but the back garden is different, the mountains and forests are easy to hide......

"I've seen the map, the best hiding place in Houyuan is Banzai Mountain, and if they hide in Banzai Mountain, the next direction must be Beiyuan, where the terrain is complex and there is a waterway to get out, and then go all the way to the north ......"

What Shen Tingnian said was also what Pu Yangxu expected, he squeezed Shen Tingnian's hand, and then stood up, "I'm going now, you stay in Yanxi Hall by yourself, don't go out." ”

"Someone."

Two women dressed in strong clothes came in, both of the same height and shape, and their faces were somewhat similar, and they knelt down on one knee towards Shen Tingnian and bowed their heads to stand by.

"These two people are the personal guards I picked out for you last time I went to Yunmeng Mountain, and I will take them with me wherever I go in the future."

"Subordinate Ayun."

"Subordinate Amon."

The two bowed their heads at the same time, but even their voices were somewhat similar.

"Every year, I will definitely bring Zhan Zhan back."

Pu Yangxu hurriedly explained and went out.

Shen Tingnian didn't have the heart to think about her own affairs at all, it was going to be dark this day, where would she stay.

"Yuezhu, lock the bridge." Shen Tingnian stepped on his shoes and got out of bed, and the two guards who couldn't get up without getting an order all bowed their heads.

"Back to Niangniang, they all followed the Royal Forest Army to find someone......"

There was no one else in the house for a while, it seemed that they all spontaneously went out to find people, they were the group of people who were most familiar with the little prince, and their participation was indeed helpful to the Royal Forest Army.

Shen Tingnian called them up, "You two - I am ordered to invite the masters of each palace to the Qinzheng Palace. ”

"The two subordinates can't leave the front of the mother at the same time." Ah Yun spoke again.

However, Amon on the left replied, "The masters of the palaces are already in the Qinzheng Palace, and the emperor asked people to watch them." ”

If any of them are involved, the purpose of controlling them now is to cut off their opportunity to continue to provide intelligence and help to the enemy.

###

"Your Majesty, these places are marked on the deployment map of Long Live Mountain, and my subordinates think they are-"

"Your Majesty!"

Shu Tai's words were interrupted by an eager voice, he looked back, a grizzled little palace maid came down from the mountain, and the people around Pu Yangxu were all on guard, but Pu Yangxu pushed them away and took the initiative to run over, "Xiu'er? ”

This is indeed the little palace maid who mentioned the little prince with Xu Ruoxian, she secretly followed them down the cave after pretending to be stunned in the Lantang Palace, but she didn't expect to see the black-clothed boss holding a bunch of gunpowder bullets back to arrange it before she ran a few steps to the dark passage.

Seeing that she was about to meet head-on, Xiu'er, who was in a panic, ran in reverse for a long time before she met the little prince secret guard who had been hiding in the secret passage at some point.

It turned out that the secret guard appeared on the beam of the room at the moment when the nurse was knocked unconscious, if there was only one man in black, he could definitely make a move, but four people ...... For the safety of the little prince, he can only wait for the opportunity.

Later, when Xu Ruoxian opened his mouth and offered to go with them, he quietly rolled into the bottom of the bed one step earlier, and went down from the open hole to the dark passage to observe the terrain.

After that, the secret guard took Xiu'er to chase the little prince and his party from a safe distance in the secret passage, until they entered the Banzai Mountain, and when they were about to follow the second secret passage, the fifth person who had been whistling appeared.

As soon as they met with the dark guard, the two fought, and Xiu'er also followed the severed black-clothed man Lao Si and slapped him unconscious.

After the dark guard killed the fifth black-clothed man, he rushed over to find that the hole in the dark passage had been sealed by the fourth man in black.

"The slave woke up and saw that the secret guard had left a mark, which was in the direction of the north......"

With Xiu'er leading the way, everyone soon reached the mountain road leading to the royal granary.

Pu Yangxu's suppressed anger instantly exploded when he saw the granary that was already on fire and smoking.

This group of people is simply rampant!

Even the royal granary dares to burn, this is the life-saving reserve food for the victims of the disaster in the north and south in the new year!

"Let's put out the fireβ€”"

Obviously, Pu Yangxu and others chased too fast, and they set fire to the warehouse in order to delay the time.

Let Shu Tai lead people to put out the fire, but Pu Yangxu himself continued to chase north with a murderous atmosphere.

###

In fact, this fire could not be put out in the first place.

After evading the inspection of the guards of the granary, everyone hurriedly replenished some water and food, Xiao Youchun and Xu Ruoxian both gobbled up two large white-flour steamed buns, they had to save their strength to hold the little prince, but at this time the door of the granary was opened again.

It wasn't the guards who went and returned, but a ten-man team dressed as the guards.

Although the leading man has not appeared in the palace in the past few years, Xu Ruoxian knows all the Beijing officials, all the palace attendants and all the fiefdom kings and princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the generals of the four realms guarding the border cities.

Although this is a course for reserving court ladies, not everyone can learn as good as her.

After recognizing this person's identity, Xu Ruoxian had a premonition that things were making waves again.

Sure enough, the fourth man in black didn't recognize the answerer, and after asking the other party for the code, he found that he was not the original owner who bought them.

Xu Ruoxian pulled Xiao Youchun and retreated to the boss of the man in black who was lying down with his back against the cellar, while staring at Zheng Wanghai, the general who was supposed to guard the west wind city in the west who was negotiating with the fourth man in black.

"The little prince took it away, and the two palace maids were killed." Zheng Wanghai was almost in a commanding tone.

Lao Er immediately disagreed, "What kind of thing are you, the order is on your second master's head, if the palace maid can be killed, will we be dragged down to stay in this ghost place?!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the boss of the man in black couldn't wake up, they would have walked away from the wall with a one-year-old doll.

"You-" Zheng Wanghai endured it, these bandits who are accustomed to the rivers and lakes are barbaric and vulgar, and they have a bunch of problems, and they have to divide the old and weak women and children into two people...... In short, he glanced at Xu Ruoxian and Xiao Youchun, and the killing intent in his eyes was restrained when he touched Brother Zhan, who was tired of playing and asleep.

"I won't talk nonsense, if the people are handed over to us now, you will run for your lives, and it will be too late."

"Later, when the Royal Forest Army surrounds the mountain, you will be unable to fly."

As soon as he said this, the fourth man in black understood that the feeling was that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches, and he was here to rob people.

Bandits snatching food? This is the first time they've met.

"If you can give the original owner's balance now, we may be able to consider it." The fourth child said this.

As if they had been instructed, the second and third drew their swords.

Xu Ruoxian and Xiao Youchun didn't see their swords unsheathed all the way, and they only saw them at this moment, and the swords of the two of them seemed to be a pair, one black and one white.
