Chapter 497: Escape
The two swords intersected and stopped in front of the man: "The emperor has an order not to go out." β
In their eyes, the people locked up inside are good to say that they are protons, and if they are not good, they are prisoners, who would be willing to bear this drudgery?
"Two big brothers." Dong Linjue had no anger on his face, took out a small handful of gold leaves from his wide sleeves, put them in the hands of the two, and said modestly, "There is a reluctant request below, and I also ask the two eldest brothers to be accommodating and enter the house for a while." β
"This ......" The two guards only pondered for a moment, their eyes immediately showed a greedy light, they glanced at each other, and hurriedly pulled them into their arms, "Since Childe is so interested, then it is inconvenient for the two of us to shirk and brush off Childe's good intentions." β
Donglin Jue Wenwen bowed his head, but just as the two of them stepped into the door, the hemp rope tied under the door frame flicked, and the latter person was knocked down in an instant.
said that it was too late, it was fast, Dong Linjue's eyes suddenly turned sharp, twisted the necks of the two people, and unloaded the chins of the two people as soon as possible.
After taking out the prepared hemp rope, knocking the whimpering two people unconscious with one palm, and firmly tying them back to back, confirming that they could not break free, he gasped lightly.
"Mother." Dong Linjue shook his palm slightly, and called softly towards the inner room, "It's time to go." β
The candle flame was dim, and out of the inner chamber slowly came a gentle woman, draped in a black cloak, with a calm expression, obviously prepared for this.
The two glanced at each other, passed the fainting two, quietly pushed open the door, and walked towards the lotus pond in the imperial garden in a very low-key manner.
Every step is taken carefully. The two knew very well that going to the lotus pond this time was their only chance.
"Huh?"
A crisp female voice suddenly came from behind him, startling Dong Linjue shrugged suddenly, and cold sweat faintly broke out on his back.
He didn't say anything, and he didn't turn back.
"Which palace are you from?" The woman turned out to be Gu Mianmian, and the brocade clothes were very bright in the night, "A head of white hair, with such obvious features, why have I never seen it?" β
As she spoke, she pursed her lips and took a few steps forward, looking straight at Dong Linjue's face with a little curiosity.
In her eyes, she probably knows that there are names and surnames in the palace, and the person in front of her is dressed so plainly, it can't be a big person, so she has the leisure to ask.
Dong Linjue's breathing was slightly stiff, but he quickly calmed down, and bowed his head politely: "I rarely go out in the next place, and the girl doesn't know it." β
"Oh? How could that be? Gu Mianmian raised her eyes a little arrogantly, admittedly disbelieving, "You haven't answered me yet, which palace is it?" β
She didn't know about the existence of Donglin Proton, and it was precisely because she had never seen it that she dared to talk to her.
Behind her, by the low wall, Madame Wan held her breath, her eyes hidden under the cloak were full of anxiety.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the distance between her and Dong Linjue has always been kept a few feet away. From this point of view, the woman was facing away from her.
The curvature of Dong Linjue's lips remained unchanged, and the panic in his eyes betrayed his heart at the same time.
"Under is ......"
"Say, what are you doing?" Gu Mianmian also faintly sensed that something was wrong, and a pair of sharp phoenix eyes swept towards Dong Linjue, "Or, do you have any unsavory secrets?" β
The corners of his lips were faintly smiling.
It was an ordinary walk, and seeing the sneaky appearance of the two people in front of him must be hiding something, if he was caught, he could still make a great contribution.
The night became darker, so gloomy that there was not even a star, and Dong Linjue's heart slowly sank.
If it drags on any longer, the time to answer will not be able to catch up.
There is still a mother by his side, and he can't even escape.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and just as he was about to say something more, he was unguarded, but was suddenly interrupted by an exclamation.
Gu Mianmian was half-lying on the ground, looking at Mrs. Wan, her face full of disbelief.
"You! How dare you push meβ" After a while, she exclaimed, as if she had reacted to something, and stretched out her hand to point, "Quick! Get her up to me! β
Mrs. Wan was silent, and then ran in the opposite direction.
Because of the black cloak covering his figure, Gu Mianmian and the guards behind him couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman at all, coupled with the heavy push, it was clear that there was a ghost in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't block Dong Linjue again.
In the middle of the night, all the guards were gone, and Dong Linjue muttered: "Mother......"
Seems unbelievable.
The glance that Mrs. Wan looked at him before leaving, there was too much reluctance, but more of it was a farewell.
"Mother...... His mother ...... "biting his lower lip so hard that the smell of blood spread in his mouth, but it still didn't wake him up."
In order to save him, his mother fell into the hands of those people, and what happened next is already self-evident.
Looking at the rippling lotus pond water surface under the night, he wiped away his tears fiercely, gritted his teeth and jumped down.
The bottom of the pool was covered in the night, so blurry that I couldn't see anything clearly. He was pushed forward by the gentle waves of water, and gradually groped his way to what appeared to be the entrance of the secret passage.
Twisting his wrist to open the valve, the sound of the passage opening was drowned out by the sound of heavy water.
The whole secret passage was not long, and he stumbled along, full of scenes of Mrs. Wan sacrificing herself to save herselfβjust thinking, hurry, hurry.
"Childe?" His thoughts were interrupted by a soft call, and Dong Linjue noticed that the secret passage had come to an end. Inside the hidden door, the figure of a man was reflected, and when he saw his appearance clearly, he half-carried him out of the corridor, and lowered his voice, "Princess An Chen is already waiting for you." β
It's the cold rock.
The latter glanced around, and wondered, "What about Mrs. Wan?" β
Dong Linjue's gaze slowly gained focus, and he hurriedly grabbed Leng Yan's clothes, and his face showed a rare loss: "My mother, she...... She escaped first to save me, and now she must have been caught. β
"What to do? What can I do? "Saving his mother's heart, the more Dong Linjue thinks about it, the more chaotic he becomes, and he can barely stand on his feet.
Leng Yan was also so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, but he didn't lose his mind like Dong Linjue, and said slowly: "If you delay a little more now, Mrs. Wan will be more dangerous." β
"Childe, let go first, and I'll take you to Princess An Chen now." Leng Yan pondered for a moment, "I can't confirm whether Mrs. Wan is safe now, maybe there is still room for things to turn around, and there is also hope - to rescue her again." β
"Okay, okay." Dong Linjue took a hard breath, letting Chaos's mind ease a little, "Quick, go quickly." β
Half-hugging Dong Linjue, Leng Yan lowered his eyelids slightly, and walked all the way at the fastest speed, but he was speechless.
"Princess An Chen!"
The candle flame flickered in the room. Before he could change out of his semi-wet clothes, Leng Yan had already taken Dong Linjue to Xie Shiyun.
couldn't help but say, it was a kneeling "puff", which surprised Xie Shiyun to help him.
"Why did Your Highness do this, but there was an accident?"
Looking around, Xie Shiyun seemed to suddenly realize something.
