Chapter 169: Adventure
"Zhan Zhan, the slave is humming a song for you, okay?" Xu Ruoxian has been supporting Xiao Youchun, and almost slipped several times, but she held it up.
The man in black who urged them to leave quickly was much more rude and unkind than their boss, scolding and pushing.
At this time, I heard Xu Ruoxian humming a long tune, and immediately shouted: "Shut up, you want to attract people to come over, right?" β
"If the little prince starts crying, none of us will be able to leave." Xu Ruoxian's little voice was higher than him, and the illuminated night pearl reflected her delicate little face, and Xiao Youchun, who was close, looked at her and suddenly calmed down.
"Let's stop singing, Zhan Zhan is going to sleep......" She rubbed his neck in Brother Zhan'er's favorite way and coaxed him to sleep.
After a short stalemate, the team moved forward again, and the black-clothed boss who had taken care of the aftermath returned and said in a low voice: "I still have to walk for two quarters of an hour, and after we go out, hand over the child to us, and we will not accept the lives of the two of you." β
Two quarters of an hour is not enough to get out of the Imperial City, and the exit of this tunnel may still be within the palace limits, but they say that they are not needed, which means that there is no need to worry about attracting attention outside...... Xu Ruoxian thought quickly, it was absolutely impossible to hand over the little prince to them, but how could this short two quarters of an hour change the situation?
Xiao Youchun's leg was weak and almost slipped again, she gasped and didn't dare to ask for rest, she only cried: "I can help you bring the little prince, no matter where you go, I will follow him." β
"Boss, don't talk nonsense with them, when you get out, you'll be knocked out and thrown into the forest......"
"If you want me to say that we shouldn't take them down, this secret passage may still be used in the future, but now it's useless......"
"Shut up." The cold voice of the boss in black echoed in the dark passage, "Whoever says more, I cut his tongue and feed it to the dog." β
Instantly, the air froze.
Two quarters of an hour was a very short time, and Xiao Youchun felt that he hadn't taken a few breaths when he heard the muffled sound of the stone slab moving overhead.
Before she could figure out what to do, Xu Ruoxian, who was holding her arm tightly, had already pinched her hard.
Maybe it's because the exit is imminent, the two of them are small and non-threatening and still holding the child, and they are panting and panicked all the way, so the boss in black turned around and helped her when he heard Xiao Youchun's ouch and slippery again.
At the moment when his hand grabbed Xiao Youchun's arm, a cold touch hit the back of his hand, he was instinctively alert to the danger, but when he raised his eyes, he only saw Xu Ruoxian, and it was her hand that also reached out to help people.
"Boss?"
The other two who were in charge of the break had already leaned over, looking at the boss of the man in black who suddenly stopped leaving.
The one who opened the way in front of him was holding the pearl of the night, and he heard the sound and looked back at them.
"What medicine? Or is it poison? β
The black-clothed boss could feel the whole hand starting from his fingertips to be a little paralyzed, the light was too dim, he couldn't see the wound at all, but soon the whole arm was unconscious, he pulled out the sword with his other hand backhand, and put it under Xu Ruoxian's neck, just one action was done, he had already noticed that he had no strength to stand at all, and the next moment he fell forward, directly throwing the little Xu Ruoxian to the ground with him.
"Boss?!"
"Boss!"
"Boss, this-"
The three men in black surrounded them together, and together they turned the boss of the men in black and helped him up, no matter how they shook and asked, the boss of the men in black, who couldn't even hold his sword, rolled his eyes and stared at Xu Ruoxian on the side.
Xu Ruoxian was dizzy by him, and secretly cheered in his heart, he succeeded, this is really a life-saving needle.
On the night she was transferred to the little prince's side, Shen Tingnian gave her something and told her that it could be used to save her life, but she hoped that she could work hard to protect the person she wanted to protect.
Although they didn't say who it was, they all knew that this needle was protecting the little prince.
Xu Ruo slowed down for a moment before he turned over and stood up, "He won't die for the time being, if you want him to save his life, then we can have a fair deal-"
"Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now!"
"Dick!"
The slightly more irritable dick was dragged by the other two, and the situation is a bit complicated now.
At this point they heard a short whistle again, and there was no time left for them.
###
Unfortunately, Shen Tingnian didn't see the nurse come out with a stick of incense, so he would go to see it in person, but last night Brother Zhan slept next to her a few times, got up early in the morning to freshen up, and came to Lantang Palace.
Or did the Queen Mother ask if Brother Zhan was going to sleep after feeding? Why don't you see it back...... A word woke her up, and she didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly got up and said something to take a look.
When she led Yuezhu and the others in, there was no one in the house, only an unconscious nurse still fell to the ground, her face changed several times, she was hesitant and frightened, and a little unbelievable.
"!" Yuezhu's heart chuckled, and she couldn't figure out why all the people were gone.
"Go to the Vertical Arch Hall immediately to find the emperor and seal the imperial city, they won't be able to go far in such a short time......"
"Also," Shen Tingnian leaned on the door frame upside down, unable to stand steadily, but the person was unusually calm, "The secret guards who followed the prince have not shown up now, they must have caught up, time is pressing, and they will immediately send someone to bring the hunting dog raised by the emperor." β
People are silently from the Lantang Palace, and they are naturally underground.
It's her cognition that still stays in the methods of the fat powder women, and since the birth of the prince, the struggle has been the end of the men, and it must have been from the reconstruction of Lantang Palace, and the secret passage has been dug up.
"Go and call Hu Yuchun in immediatelyβ"
Several orders continued one after another, and in an instant, the people around Shen Tingnian ran away quickly, leaving her to stand up weakly holding on to the door, looking around the place, trying to find something abnormal.
The first to arrive was naturally Hu Yuchun, the Queen Mother and Song Yu, as soon as the three of them appeared, they saw Shen Tingnian staggering over and rushing straight to Hu Yuchun: "Who mentioned Lantang Palace to you?" β
Shen Tingnian grabbed her hand, uncontrollably forced, Hu Yuchun shook his head with a blank face, tears rolled down in fright, "I...... No one has said it, I just heard the palace people chatting, and I just mentioned it casually when you asked......"
"Which palace is the palace person? Who was the first to mention it, someone is coming," Shen Tingnian's voice directly called Shu Tai, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who rushed to him after hearing the news, she let go of Hu Yuchun and instructed him, "Take her to find it, all the palace people in the palace will look for it one by one, and then mobilize the guards to come into the Lantang Palace, that is, the entire palace will be carved three feet into the ground, and the palace will know how they robbed people." β
"Take the "Imperial City Palace Office Map" to the palace."
At this moment, everyone on the scene felt that Shen Tingnian was calm and not human, and it seemed that he was about to explode in the blink of an eye.
Although the Queen Mother had just seen Shen Tingnian's maids all look ugly, she already had a very bad premonition in her heart, but hearing Shen Tingnian's words and seeing her like this, confirmed her guess, she tried hard to suppress the severe pain in her heart, but still no one resisted-
"Queen Mother!"
"Oh no, the Queen Mother fainted-"
β¦β¦
It's just chaos, and a first birthday party has not even started when the world is turned upside down and the earth shakes.
When the entrance to the cave was found, Lantang Palace did begin to move, it should be said that when Shu Tai was about to lead people into the dark passage, he touched the explosive mechanism that had been made below, and then the entire secret passage collapsed.
Shen Tingnian stood unsteadily in this violent shaking, and thought that he would fall, but he was hugged from behind and taken into his arms, and before he could say anything, he hurried out of the dormitory with her.
"Every year!"
Shen Tingnian fainted without holding on.
###
Long Live Mountain, the royal granary.
"Every year."
Brother Zhan, who woke up, began to shout Nian Nian non-stop, but Xiao Youchun, who was holding her firmly, couldn't find Shen Tingnian for him, and tried his best to coax him to no avail, so he could only watch Brother Zhan go from being dazed, eager, to crying.
It was like crying, her heart was broken, Xu Ruoxian on the other side of the warehouse was pouring water on the unconscious boss in black, the irritable man in black was originally in charge of staring at Xu Ruoxian, this time the child was crying, and immediately jumped up: "Don't cry, let him shut up......"
"Wow-" Brother Zhan should have never been so fierce since he was born, and his crying was so frightened that he blocked it back, his face turned red, and his tears rolled down in big pieces.
"Youchun, bring the little prince over and feed him some water."
Xu Ruoxian knew that the effect of soft tendons and then poured into a pot of tranquilizing powder could ensure that this person would sleep until tomorrow night, so as long as they tried to hold on and protect the little prince before they were found, this crisis would pass, she believed it so much!
But Brother Zhan cried so much that he didn't drink the water, and the third and fourth who were watching the wind outside ran in together, and said in unison: "I can't cry anymore!" β
"But children just cry." Xiao Youchun was afraid that they would be unfavorable to Brother Zhan, so he anxiously explained, "It'll be good later...... I'll sleep again later! β
"Feed him sugar pills." The fourth child, who hadn't spoken much, took out the sugar pills that had been prepared a long time ago, "If you eat it, you will fall asleep." β
"No way!" Xu Ruoxian stood up and protected Xiao Youchun and Brother Zhan behind him, "Give us some more time, at most a tea time......"
In order to prove that his words were convincing, Xu Ruoxian turned around and shouted to this Brother Zhan: "Every year! β
Sure enough, Brother Zhan immediately stopped crying, looked at her with teary eyes, and then turned his head to look at the side, left, right...... He searched and searched, very puzzled, very aggrieved, but did not find it.
Seeing that his mouth was flattened, his little brows were furrowed, and he was about to cry again, Xu Ruoxian took him over and hugged him, and said to Xiao Youchun in his mouth, "Melt the caramel you brought with water, and then bring it over and feed him to drink." β
The caramel she was talking about was not the sugar pills prepared by this group of four big men.
Brother Zhan has never eaten sugar, except for the nursing mother's milk, and the goat's milk that is fed every three or five days, and the egg custard, when he was seven or eight months old, Shen Ting began to crush fresh fruits and vegetables to feed him, once a day.
