Chapter 312, Eight Characters Dedicated to Zoroastrianism (3)

At this time, the cavalry of the Wei army was almost in front of the city gate, and Helian Chang also knew that it was important to save his life.

He didn't dare to go down the city wall, because if he did, he would collide with the Wei army that rushed into the eastern city. He had no choice but to be protected by a few chamberlains and guards, clinging to the battlements of the city wall, and lowered his body and ran towards the west city!

Before Helian Chang and them could run a few steps, the vanguard cavalry of the Wei army had already crossed the city gate.

Helian Chang originally thought that the Wei army would first loot in the east city like when they conquered the outer city, and then go to besiege the west city.

As long as the Wei army paused in Dongcheng for a while, Helian Chang had a chance to flee back to Xicheng. But he didn't expect that the cavalry of the Wei army turned a blind eye to the shops and mansions on both sides and rushed straight in the direction of Xicheng.

Helian Chang was really panicked at this time. He is now trapped on the city wall, and there are Wei troops in front and behind, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground!

He casually pointed to an attendant, "You! Take your clothes off! Then you put on my dragon robe and run around the East City! As long as I can attract the Wei army, I can escape! ”

The attendant who was caught by Helian Chang obviously refused, but was immediately held down by several other guards and forced to take off his clothes.

Helian Chang said viciously, "If you don't do what I say, I will kill you now!" ”

The chamberlain was afraid of Helian Chang's tyranny, and thought that instead of being thrown off the city wall and falling to his death immediately, it was better to fight, and maybe there was a way to live.

He followed what Helian Chang said, shouting "help" while running around in Dongcheng. And Helian Chang put on the clothes of a chamberlain and wanted to sneak back to the palace quietly.

As long as he returns to the palace, he can order to defend the West City! This time, even if the city gate is full of elixir, he won't open the city gate!

-- The Dividing Line --

At this time, Tuoba Tao was sitting on a horse, looking up at the plaque of "Zhaowei Gate" on the city wall.

In order to show that the Great Xia would unify all the nations, the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city were named "Zhaowei Gate", "Chao Song Gate", "Fuliang Gate" and "Pingshuo Gate".

But today, the tide of Wei troops passed by Tuoba Tao, and kept pouring into Tongwan City from this "Zhaowei Gate", which is really ironic.

Tuoba Tao pointed at the head of the city with a horsewhip and ordered, "Mulan, you bring people, and first demolish this plaque!" After dismantling, it was chopped up and set on fire! ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at the plaque anymore, clamped the horse's belly, and followed the torrent of the Wei army into the first city in the north.

-- The Dividing Line --

At this time, Tan Zhaoyu and Zimo were descending the high city wall from the city wall of Xicheng through the rows of narrow windows of the horse face building. It's like two fallen leaves, silently falling in the imperial city.

In fact, the two of them were too cautious, because in the imperial city now, the sound of a big stone falling to the ground would not attract anyone's attention.

Everyone is running for their lives.

The food of the forbidden army in Xicheng was arranged in the dining room of the palace, so they did not eat the poisonous wheat that Lu Shuihu secretly mixed into the wheat rice.

If Helian Chang hadn't gone to Dongcheng, with Xicheng's troops and weapons, he would definitely be able to resist for a while.

But Helian Chang went to Dongcheng and never returned. When the nobles in the palace realized that their emperor was still among the enemy troops in Dongcheng, they immediately panicked.

At this time, I don't know who shouted, "The emperor has been killed!" The Wei army has attacked! Everyone, run for your life! ”

The entire Miyagi was a mess in an instant! The chamberlains and maidservants fled in all directions, trying to find a place to hide. Some bold people directly coerced the objects in the palace and found a way to climb the wall where no one was.

The forbidden army in the palace began to stop and not let anyone out. But then the forbidden army itself could not stand. Most of their family members live in Dongcheng, and if they fight hard with the Wei army at this time, not to mention their own death, they will have to affect their relatives nine times out of ten.

Just when the soldiers of the forbidden army were so anxious that some even planned to abandon the city and flee. The inner palace came out with the edict of Princess Helian Ke.

Kaesong surrendered.

When the gate of the West City of Tongwan City was opened, Tan Invite Yu and Zimo had already infiltrated the underground palace.

Zimo's expression was solemn. Things went almost as planned, step by step, but there was no joy on his face.

Tan Zhaoyu knew that Zimo wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave Tongwan City, so as not to get rid of Helian Chang and fall under the control of Tuoba Tao. But Tan Invite Rain can't do it.

Yesterday, after she opened the hidden passage of the underground palace, she was stunned to find that the reason why she had always felt that this altar had a subtle sense of disobedience was because it was not an altar at all. At least not originally.

After the white wall of the corridor was removed, the Yongdao that I don't know how far it continued unmistakably told Tan Invite Yu that this was the secret passage under the Tongwan City, which was specially built for the royal family to escape in times of crisis.

It's just that I don't know why, but the Zoroastrians separated this secret passage and built an altar. The square room where the altar is located is actually just a warehouse used to store materials in the secret passage. That's why Tan Zhaoyu felt that this altar was too narrow when he first entered.

Next to the original warehouse, there was also a smaller ear room, which was separated by a white wall that was hidden from the eyes of the Zoroastrians, and the ear room behind it became a secret room for them to hide their treasures.

This is really a treasure room......

There is no door in the ear chamber, and as soon as you step through the white wall, you can see the gold, silver, and jewels piled up inside. Even in such a dim candlelight, it reflects the brilliance.

Tan Invite Yu couldn't help but "tsk" twice, "Compared with them, I am simply incorruptible." ”

She did not rush in, but carefully observed the various places in the ear chamber by the light of the candle flame.

In addition to the half-human-high pile of treasures on the ground, there were several large chests inside, and it was impossible to guess what was inside.

Further down the large chests, a statue of a bull-headed figure stood in the innermost part of the chamber. Although the statue is also a cow's head, this cow is not painted red, and it looks quite kind.

The half-human, half-beast statue sat cross-legged with a small wooden box on its lap. It's almost the same as what Yu Yu found on the top of a snowy mountain!

Tan Inviteyu's eyes lit up when he saw the wooden box. If nothing else, it should also be a very important thing for Zoroastrianism.

That right protector should be the guardian here. It's just that he was locked up by Helian Chang, and now he doesn't know where he is resting in a prison.

Thinking of the right protector, Tan Yuyu not only frowned. On that day, she and Zimo teamed up to design the red-robed envoy, but the right protector didn't make a move for some reason, and even did not hesitate to abandon the red-robed envoy to protect Zoroastrianism.

If they could make such a sacrifice for Zoroastrianism, how could they easily give up resistance? It's hard to figure out.
