The sky is dark again, the sun and the moon are alternating, it is obviously the most familiar day and night in the palace, but Zhao Yuan'er is sitting on the steps at the moment, the other palace maids and grandmothers are tired, and the food sent in from outside is not long before it is distributed.

It's only been a day, but she always feels like she's been in a lifetime.

It's really a long time, too many changes have happened in just one day, the emperor died, and King Zhen'an, who relied on great rebellion and usurped power to seize the throne, stayed in the palace, and a group of palace concubines who finally escaped from the palace were arrested again. Although there were several times of despair in my heart when I was arrested, Zhao Yuan'er would still run away if I came again.

She never thought that she would take the initiative to escape, she was always well-behaved and obedient, how could she have the courage to pick up a knife and gun to do it to others in the past. However, she has done it all now, and she knows that once she is afraid and doesn't try, she may not even have the opportunity to try.

The stars and the moon are bright, Zhao Yuan'er looked up at the starry sky above the palace, although she only escaped for one night, it was raining all night, and the sky was full of dark clouds, but she always felt that the night outside the palace was the freest and fastest life.

If only she could escape again, she thought, if she escaped again, she would not be caught again.

It was really unexpected that she would be caught this time, she originally followed Gu San's words and went north, but when she arrived at the valley, she thought that the pursuers would not come again, so she relaxed a little. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn and the people around him were already exhausted, he opened his mouth to rest the whole team and continue to hurry after recovering some strength.

They were inexperienced in dealing with the enemy, and when they saw the rocks shaking on the ground, they should have expected that they would be surrounded by soldiers and horses. Gu San was not there, and their group of female dependents seemed to have lost their backbone for a while, plus they had traveled overnight, and they all had no energy to look at anything else.

When they reacted, King Zhen'an had already arrived with soldiers and horses, and Zhao Yuan'er tried to lead people to break through, but where could they be opponents with this group of well-trained soldiers, and they fell into a disadvantage and were captured one by one.

King Zhen'an caught them but was not in a hurry, as if he expected Gu San to bring someone over, and her heart fluttered when she heard Hua'er's voice on the valley. The moment Gu San turned her head and left, although she was disappointed, it was not that she couldn't understand it, in this situation, there were so many chasing soldiers, and only if she escaped at this moment could she have any hope of survival, what was the use of everyone being trapped under the hands of King Zhen'an?

Zhao Yuan'er held her chin and thought secretly, she didn't know where Hua'er and Gu San had gone at this time, whether they had arrived in the village, or if they had gone somewhere else.

Thinking like this, Leng Buding suddenly felt that someone threw a pebble and smashed it on her shoulder. Zhao Yuan'er turned around, it was pitch black between the buildings, and then a small pebble was thrown out of the darkness and gently smashed on Zhao Yuan'er.

For a moment, Zhao Yuan'er stood up and walked towards the darkness without any doubt. Her figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, and after her eyes gradually became familiar with the darkness, she let out a sigh of relief and looked at the woman sitting on the stone wall in front of her, "You didn't go?" ”

"I was gone, but I was going back." Gu San stood against the wall, even if the moon was bright tonight, he didn't pull out her shadow. Zhao Yuan'er also lowered her voice and asked, "What about Hua'er?" Have you placed her in place? ”

"Also came back and stayed in her studio. What's going on on your side? Did King Zhen'an make any moves? ”

Hearing her ask about this, Zhao Yuan'er recalled the place where she was touched by that man during the day, and got up again with goosebumps, "He wants the secret of those weapons." ”

Gu San looked at her and added, "He wants you too." ”

"What he wanted was a woman, a woman whom the emperor had loved dearly. It doesn't matter if that woman is me or not. Zhao Yuan'er's eyes were clear and calm, "He has taken away the emperor's country and the world, of course, he can't let go of everything the emperor once loved." ”

Of course, these are not the point, Zhao Yuan'er held Gu San's wrist a little nervously, "Since you are all here, but is there a way to escape from the palace?" ”

Gu San didn't want to hide anything from her, and replied honestly, "Right now, the palace is surrounded by King Zhen'an's soldiers and horses, and if you want to, it's probably impossible to escape in these days." If you only take one or two people with you, you can barely escape, and the goal of your 30 or so people is too big, and once you leave, there will inevitably be casualties. And in this case, it will only drag more people to die together. ”

"Do you want us to sit still?"

"Let me ask you a question." Gu San looked into her eyes, "What exactly do you want in the end?" Is it alive? Is it freedom? Is it living with someone you value? ”

Zhao Yuan'er didn't expect Gu San to suddenly ask her such a question, she felt strange, "Naturally, she is free and living with the people she values." ”

"But now we're in a difficult situation, and it's not going to be 100 per cent perfect. You want to live without sacrifice, and obedience and surrender may be the best option. But then there will be no freedom. Gu San's tone was as unsentimental as always, just calmly analyzing the current situation with Zhao Yuan'er, "If you want to live freely, you have to take risks, and the important people around you may be sacrificed because of this." ”

If you want to live, it can be said that it is too simple, the humble and humiliating life is also alive, and the walking dead forget everything he asks for is also alive. But if you want to be comfortable, if you want to be happy, if you want to live as you like, the requirements are too high. They are in troubled times, how can there be perfect results. Two of the three can be satisfied, and even a much better ending than others.

Zhao Yuan'er thought for a long time, and she said to Gu San in a firm tone, "I'm not afraid of death, Gu San." As long as I can let Jinyue, Ze'er, Hua'er and those sisters escape, what should I do, what will happen to me, I really don't care. If...... If I need to commit myself to the King of Zhen'an in order to exchange for their peace, I can do it too. Since you said that both freedom and survival have a price, then I will bear this price. ”

She already knew the personnel, although the gaze of King Zhen'an when he looked at her made her disgusting, but it was also purposeful enough, Zhao Yuan'er knew what he wanted, as Gu San said, in addition to the secrets of those weapons, he also wanted her.

If this can be exchanged for the survival of others, she will give it, it is not a big deal, the emperor can let the queen kill, what is she talking about as a traitor and thief who is committed to the heir of a former court?

Besides, wasn't her father a traitor for a long time? A hundred years later, even if the history books show her what kind of disaster she has written, it doesn't matter what kind of disaster she has made to the country and the people, the people she values at this moment can live, and that's enough.

"Yesterday, if you want me to die, if you want me to kill, I am not afraid. This life, life and death, are fought out step by step. If it weren't for the hard work, maybe last night, we would have been humiliated in the palace and then executed, where would there be a chance to re-plan now. Zhao Yuan'er is indeed not afraid of death, she said, clenching Gu San's hand, "But the only thing I am afraid of is that my sacrifice is useless, in front of those men's swords, this general obedience is still exchanged for killing in the end." If that's the case, then I'm doing nothing but doing something for the tiger. If you have an idea, help me find a way to work. ”

"Since you say so, are you really not afraid of anything?"

Gu San's rhetorical question made Zhao Yuan'er suddenly smile: "Do you think I have anything to be afraid of after seeing this experience?" ”

But I heard the other party ask again, "Then, what about the living dead, are you afraid?" ”

“…… The living dead? Zhao Yuan'er was a little stunned, "Why do you ask this?" So what? ”

"Dead but not stiff, will go crazy and wantonly bite and eat people, and the bitten person will also go crazy and become such a murderous thing. Afraid? ”

"No matter how terrible, how terrible is the murderous rebels outside?"

Gu San was waiting for Zhao Yuan'er's words. Is the human heart terrible or the zombies are terrible, this is indeed worth discussing, Gu San carefully thought about all the ways to escape, now that the new regime has just been established, there is a very clear class difference between King Zhen'an and Zhao Yuan'er, on the one hand, the king who has tens of millions of soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he is a prisoner who is completely passively imprisoned.

Zombies, on the other hand, can completely shatter all classes in the first place. When a disaster strikes, everyone can only fight on their own, the original size of the army will be completely dispersed, and all effective orders will completely fall apart because of this disaster.

Although from a certain point of view, it is not a good idea to pull the whole world into another hell in order to save people, but this world is already a hell everywhere because of the war, so thinking about it, this is indeed the fastest and most convenient way.

The bright moon, which was originally hidden behind the clouds, lit up little by little at this moment, but these faint lights could not pass through the entire building, Gu San's figure was still hidden in a shadow, but Zhao Yuan'er happened to stand under the moonlight, illuminating her face as if it was glowing with a layer of light.

Gu San looked at the woman in front of him who looked more and more resolute, and took a deep breath, "If you say so, then I have nothing to worry about." ”

Zhao Yuan'er was still puzzled, "What kind of design do you have, so scruples?" Are you going to kill King Zhen'an? There's nothing to ask about, I want to kill him twice, if it weren't for the disparity in physical strength, he would have died at my hands. ”

Gu San was not in a hurry, but said first, "Aren't you curious about why a serious illness made the soft sound change to Gu San?" ”

"Didn't you say that you borrowed a corpse to resurrect your soul?"

"I'm not from this place, so why should I borrow a corpse to resurrect my soul." Gu San grabbed Zhao Yuan'er's palm holding his wrist with his backhand, "Zhao Yuan'er, if I say, you are just a person in the book, can you be trusted?" ”
