Chapter 170: A Sudden Crisis

"Now let me announce the rules of the game, in fact, it is very simple, that is, I have buried a thousand gold coins in this imperial garden, I will give you an hour, and a golden lotus storage bag, used to hold the gold coins you find, and when the time is up, I will rank according to the number of gold coins you find in your hands, and the one who finds the most gold coins is the first.

And in the end, the game is over, and after the new ranking is determined, the top 30 will become the palace maids in front of the palace, the 31st to 60th will become the palace maids of the queen's mother's palace, and the 61st to 90th will become the palace maids of the crown prince. The last ten were not allowed to serve the royal members, and were directly sent out of the palace, and were not allowed to enter the palace again for the rest of their lives. The reason why the last 10 places have been increased is also to put pressure on everyone, that is, don't take it seriously just because it's a game. Do you understand everything? ”

The blonde woman unhurriedly announced the rules of the game, and after finishing speaking, with a wave of her hand, a hundred golden lotus flowers fell from the sky and flew towards each palace maid.

"Yes!" They still replied habitually.

As soon as they finished speaking, the golden lotus flower had already come to them, only to see a burst of golden light burst out, and suddenly, Yanyu and their hundred palace maids found that there was an extra golden lotus storage bag in their hands, which was obviously used to hold gold coins.

"You've got the storage bags, right? Now the game begins! The blonde woman announced loudly again.

Just as everyone was about to disperse and look around for gold coins, a royal guard suddenly ran to the blonde woman in a hurry, and didn't know what to say in her ear, only to see the blonde woman's face change, and with a wave of her hand, the golden lotus storage bag in each palace maid's hand disappeared out of thin air.

Then the blonde woman said to the palace ladies with a solemn face:

"Listen, everyone, I've canceled today's game, so you don't have to look for gold coins, because there is bad news from the palace just now, the soldiers of the Li royal family have broken through the palace gate, and the Jun royal family is in danger, so in order to avoid everyone dying in vain, please follow the royal guards to escape from the palace from the back door, if the Jun royal family can escape this catastrophe, they will recall everyone back to the palace again." Do you understand everything? ”

"Yes!" Although these palace maids answered instinctively, they still had some regrets in their hearts, and they always felt that all this had become too fast.

It was not easy to enter the palace, and I also passed the palace maid assessment, but now I have to flee again.

Of course, for Yanyu, it was good news, because she didn't plan to enter the palace as a palace maid, but was forced to come by the Five Poisons Sect.

If it weren't for the promise she made to Meng Yan at the beginning, she wouldn't have been forced to come to the palace because she wanted to rescue her sister Meng Ling.

Under the loud greeting of the royal guards, these palace maids all ran to the back door in a panic with the royal guards.

However, there were also more than a dozen palace maids who hesitated slightly, and instead ran towards the depths of the palace.

Their idea is that whether it is the Li royal family or the Jun royal family, whoever is in charge of this palace needs a palace maid, so they are willing to gamble.

That is to continue to stay in the palace, in case the Jun royal family wins, they, the palace maids who are willing to share the hardships with the Jun royal family, will naturally be given priority to be reused.

But if the Li royal family occupies the palace again, it will not be difficult for them to be weak women with humble status and powerlessness, as long as they express their loyalty to the Li royal family, maybe they will continue to stay in the palace to serve, and even be reused.

So either way, it was an opportunity for them, so they took the risk to stay.

Of course, after all, the sword has no eyes, and if you stay, it is inevitable that you will become a victim of the battle between the two armies, such as the palace where you are hiding is burned down or collapsed.

But with the mentality of seeking wealth and danger, they are still willing to gamble.

Among these dozen palace maids, there was also a figure of smoke and rain.

It's just that Yanyu doesn't have the same idea as them, but to save people, that is, to find Meng Ling, who is serving in other palaces, and then escape from the palace with her.

Because this is what she once promised Meng Yan, she must fulfill her promise, even though Meng Yan is dead, even if she doesn't do it, no one will blame her.

But Yanyu's nature is to keep her promises, so for her, staying in the palace to find Meng Ling, even if she dies for a lifetime, she will not regret it.

And the blonde woman was not very surprised when she saw Yanyu and their dozen palace maids, who did not follow the royal guards to escape from the palace, but rushed towards the deep palace, but just smiled faintly and left.

Obviously, she has fulfilled her responsibilities, but the palace maids themselves don't want to go, and it has nothing to do with her, as long as they are willing to bear the corresponding consequences.

As for the other palace maids who fled with the royal guards, when they saw the smoke and rain rushing towards the deep palace instead, they all felt incredible, thinking that they were really crazy.

Whether the future is uncertain is the importance of wealth or fate, for them they chose the latter.

However, there are also some palace maids who seem to have suddenly thought of something, gritted their teeth, turned around and chased after them, and rushed towards the deep palace, obviously unwilling to live a hard life in their lives, and were willing to gamble with their lives.

When Yanyu and their dozens of palace maids ran forward, they found that the more they rushed into the deep palace, they would see other palace maids or ministers running out, and some of them still had blood on their bodies, or there were traces of being burned by fire, obviously they had just experienced the crisis of escaping from death.

Even on the ground, the corpses of the royal guards gradually appeared, and more and more, some of them were incomplete, and some were struggling with arrows in their chests.

It can be seen that the more you run into the deep palace, the more dangerous it will be, and in this regard, some palace maids have become hesitant again, standing in place and tangled, not knowing whether to continue to rush in, or quickly turn around and run out now, maybe it's still too late.

But in the end, they gritted their teeth, hardened their heads, and continued to rush towards the deep palace, their idea was to find a relatively safe palace, hide in it, and then take one step at a time, resigned to fate.

Or there are also palace maids who are a little more courageous, and they want to rush directly to the saint or the crown prince's palace to escort them, so as to impress the saint or the crown prince.

In case the Jun royal family defeats the Li royal family this time and resolves this crisis, then they will naturally be a great achievement, and it will be a matter of course for them to rise to prominence and prosperity.

It's just that after all, they are not familiar with the layout of the palace after all, so they have to stop those palace maids who are running out, take out the jewelry or money on their bodies, and ask them about the location of the holy or crown prince's palace.

Some of the palace maids who were stopped seemed to be frightened, trembling and unable to speak clearly, and even fainted on the spot.

Some of them were unceremoniously handing over the money, and after quickly stating the location of the Holy Lord and the Crown Prince's palace, they continued to flee in a panic.

And Yanyu will also stop those palace maids to ask, but she asked for Meng Ling's name, not the location of the Holy Lord or the Crown Prince's Palace.

Helplessly, Meng Ling is a new palace maid after all, and there are very few palace maids who can know her, plus Yanyu does not have much money and valuables on her, so she can't attract those palace maids who are greedy for money, and they are willing to stop and answer her questions.

So Yanyu understood that she could only go looking for it one palace after another, as long as she didn't see Meng Ling's body, she wouldn't give up, let alone escape from the palace alone.

Along the way, she also heard the other palace maids inquiring about the palace of the Holy Lord and the crown prince, and after inquiring clearly, they all ran in one direction.

So knowing that their goals were different from her, she simply ran away from them, because she knew that it was impossible for Meng Ling to appear in the palace of the Holy Lord or the crown prince, after all, her number was more than 20,000, and it was very likely that she would be assigned to the most ordinary and most undesirable palace.

Even if it was the palace of those concubines, Meng Ling should not be qualified to go.

So she ran to those remote palaces, shouting Meng Ling's name loudly as she ran.

Sometimes when she saw two teams of people fighting each other and running in her direction, she would quickly hide and wait until they had passed, and then continue to come out to look for Meng Ling.

There are also some royal guards who kindly persuaded her to leave quickly when they saw Yanyu looking for someone everywhere alone, saying that the enemy army was very cruel, and she would cut down when she saw someone, so don't continue to go to the deep palace, or run for her life quickly.

As for the palace maid Meng Ling she was looking for, they didn't know where it was, and it was estimated that they either escaped or were killed, and they felt that Yanyu was better off running for her life than looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone who was likely to be dead.

But Yanyu felt that Meng Ling was also a kind woman, and she had a deep affection for her, and she would never leave her to escape from the palace alone, and she must be looking for her everywhere.

So no matter what, she will never give up until she finds Meng Ling.

I don't know how long I've been running aimlessly, Yanyu is also exhausted, looking at the beautiful and majestic palace around him full of dead corpses, as well as people who can be seen everywhere running for their lives with broken heads and bleeding, as well as the constant sound of the palace collapsing, and the sound of fighting with the soldiers, all make Yanyu anxious.

is also more and more worried about Meng Ling's safety, but this palace is too big, and she is not familiar with the layout of the palace, so it is indeed a seemingly impossible task to find Meng Ling in a short time.

Along the way, Yanyu also encountered a group of enemy soldiers, if she hadn't had the wit, quickly lay down next to a pile of dead corpses, and smeared their blood and pretended to be dead, I am afraid that she would have been killed by the enemy army.

Just as she passed by the Imperial Dining Hall, she heard a woman inside shouting for help, and this voice was very familiar to her, it was Meng Ling's voice.

Suddenly, Yanyu felt a surprise in his heart, and quickly rushed towards the Imperial Dining Hall......
